UK network O2 has finally arrived at the HTC Desire party fashionably late, with the much-loved Android phone today popping up for order on the operator’s web site.
The prices? Pretty poor. The cheapest monthly HTC Desire deal is a £30 per month, 24 month contract, which includes 100 human chat minutes and O2′s “unlimited” data bolt on – and that comes with a £99 upfront fee for the phone.
It will not set the world on fire.
Not thrilling at all. It’s definitely worth shopping about if you’re after an O2 connection, as it’s usually possible to get much better deals through third-party retailers. We still don’t understand how that works.
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?
