Whoa, cancel those pre-orders!
We’ve just spotted a rather HOT DEAL on UK multi-network reseller Phones4U, which will let you get an HTC Desire, connected through Orange, for £25 per month – and that’s on a shorter 18 month contract rather than the usual oppressive 24-monthers we tend to see these days.
Phones4U is taking orders now for delivery on April 12. We’ve taken a screencapture of the deal in our shopping basket and ready to go, as proof we haven’t just gone mad:
We didn’t buy it, obviously. We’re sticking with our trusty HTC Magic for another year. This way, we’ll be first in line for upgrades in 2011. Oh yes, we’re playing the long game.
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ April 9, 2010Mobilephonesdirect.co.uk have the Desire on £25 a month on a T-Mobile contract too, it’s 300 minutes, but has a far lower number of texts in 300 to Orange’s 3000, however, it is a T-Mobile contract, so the ‘unlimited’ internet limit is 1GB (it might even be up to 3GB now), which is distinctly more ‘unlimited’ than Orange’s 500MB.

/ April 9, 2010Yeah don’t forget you’ll have to add some form of Internet add-on to this deal which will push the price up past £25…

/ April 9, 2010The T&Cs say you get 500MB of internet on that deal, which is admittedly “entry level” but fine if you’re careful.
