Mobile phone operator O2 has dropped the price of the HTC Desire S smartphone to only £330 on Pay as You Go, with the option to unlock the phone available for only £15.
The phone (opens in new tab) is available directly from O2 and interestingly, you don't need to buy a £10 topup as is usually the case. You will also be able to unlock your phone and use it on another network using the unlocking form here (opens in new tab).
The HTC Desire S is still available from Amazon unlocked for £385, and while we criticised HTC for not making the Desire S cheaper, the latest price drop makes it more attractive compared to its illustrious predecessor and the HTC Desire HD.
The Desire S has adopted the Legend's aluminium design and is sculpted out of a single block of aluminium. It uses the newer Qualcomm 1GHz 8255 Snapdragon processor, comes with 768MB RAM, 4GB internal storage with 1.1GB for user storage (can be augmented using a microSD card), a 3.7-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen, a five megapixel rear camera with AF, LED flash and HD video recording capabilities, a front facing camera, GPS, four sensors, a 1450 mAh battery and much more.
At 11.6mm and weighing 130g, it is thinner and lighter than the previous HTC Desire and comes with Gingerbread covered with a layer of Sense user interface.
