Orange has finally started taking online orders for the exclusive Black Edition HTC Desire it revealed a good few weeks back and it’s available on some rather generous packages.
The cheapest monthly tariff is a 24-month ‘Dolphin 25′ bundle, which gives you the handset for £99, along with 300 minutes of human voice interaction, 500MB of the internet and unlimited text messages, all for an online-only discounted monthly price of £22.50.
That’s not bad. Here it is in our test-order basket:
No order was actually placed, this was simply a test to see if you get charged £299 for shipping at the final hurdle. You don’t. But it still doesn’t look very “black” though, does it?
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but…
The HTC One S is the piggy in the middle of HTC’s 2012 line-up, offering a 4.3″ AMOLED display inside a very slim and stylish aluminium chassis. The end result is a phone that’s very, very slim and stylish.
HTC’s new quad-core monster, the 4.7″ flagship for 2012 that introduces the Tegra 3 processor to mobile phones, updates HTC’s range to Android 4.0 and brings us the supposedly streamlined version 4.0 of HTC’s Sense user interface.
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?

/ May 4, 2010Though the phone is now listed on the website as being available, it would not let me complete the order. Failed at the personal details page. I rang sales, who said the phone isn’t in stock yet. It is expected today (4th May), but they haven’t got it yet. I will get a call once it is available. There is only 2,000 phones available in the first delivery.
