T-Mobile Announces Lower Price Tag for HTC Desire

When it comes to recommended Android smart phone devices, it is hard to miss out on the HTC Desire. The impressive Taiwan made handset has been the very basis of the Nexus One and is still a great example of how an Android smart phone should be.

In a very generous effort to make the HTC Desire even more accessible, T-Mobile has just announced a new price tag for the mobile phone, turning the Desire into one of the most reasonably priced high end handsets of today.

According to Know Your Mobile, T-Mobile is offering new contracts for the handset. The first is a 20 Pound, 18 month contract that will give subscribers 1GB of data (officially, the website says unlimited internet, but that is subject to the internet fair use policy, hence only 1GB). It reportedly also has 100 minutes of talk time and 100 text messages. This deal will have the handset available for 35 Pounds Sterling.

The second deal will net users the HTC Desire at a slightly higher 50 Pound price tag, but gives users a nice 25 Pound monthly deal that gives 600 minutes of talk time, 500 text messages and once again unlimited internet access that is subject to the fair use rule.

For those who are wondering about the specs on the HTC Desire. This impressive little handset comes with a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, a 5 mega pixel camera and a 3.7 inch AMOLED touch screen display and the Google Android 2.1 Éclair operating system. No specific date has been given on when the Froyo update for the HTC handset will be available.

In other HTC related news, several devices from the Taiwan based manufacturer that are UK bound have been leaked. The phones include the HTC Ace, Vision and the Gold. While details on the Ace are minimal, the Gold is said to be the formerly announced WP& Mondrian and the Vision is an Android handset with a slide out keyboard.
