Well, that was quick. Just when we thought the HTC Desire STOCK CRISIS was beginning to subside, UK operator Orange, which only put its exclusive ‘Black Edition’ HTC Desire phone up for sale yesterday, has said it’s already sold out of the must-have Android handset.
The phone is currently listed as “out of stock” on the network’s order page. And guess what? It’s because of the VOLCANO again, or, at least, as a result of stock troubles cause by the nightmarish travel situation across Europe.
Here’s how Orange PR man Conor explained it all:
So keep reloading Orange’s Black HTC Desire page, if you’re after one – it’ll reappear soon. Also, reader Tom said in a comment here that an Orange employee told him it was expecting 2000 desires in its first delivery – so that’s 2000 already shifted on Day One, if true. Impressive.
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?
