Excited about the HTC Desire? In case you couldn’t tell, we are. If you’re planning on picking up your own five-star handset, have a good read through our round-up of all the currently and soon-to-be available tariffs and contracts before deciding on the deal that’s right for you.
T-Mobile – free from £35 a month, pre-order now
The HTC Desire can be pre-ordered from T-Mobile now and is available for free on a 24-month £35 contract. This deal gives you 1200 minutes, 500 texts and unlimited internet use. If you fancy getting the same minutes, messages and free internet use but don’t want to be locked into a contract for as long, you can get the handset for free on a £40 per month 18-month deal instead.

Vodafone – free from £30 a month, coming 8th of April

The cheapest 18 month plan gives you 600 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited internet use for £35 per month. You can get the same amount of minutes, texts and data for £30 per month on a 24-month plan and, again, you can get the HTC Desire for free. There is also a range of pricier deals – such as the 18-month £40 deal that gives you 900 minutes along with unlimited texts and internet, as well as unlimited calls to landline numbers if you order online.

Earlier this week we heard that the all-black version of the HTC Desire will be coming exclusively to Orange. Whilst nothing official concerning prices, tariffs or release dates has been heard from Orange, it seems that the HTC Desire will be available for free on a 24 month £30 contract (900 minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB of internet), available to order or pre-order on this Friday 2nd April.
