While Orange UK have already confirmed that the HTC Desire would be coming in a different shade than brown in the previous months, it’s always good to see some confirmation before an official launch. This time around, Orange UK has gone ahead and let everyone know that the black HTC Desire is definitely making its way to their network. Additionally, the Samsung Monte has also shown up for the ride.
We’ll start with the Samsung Monte. This handset has a 3-inch touchscreen, and it rocks Samsung’s proprietary TouchWiz 2.0 User Interface. It has a 3.5mm audio jack, so you can plug in your own headphones, and it is capable of HSDPA speeds. There’s also a 3.2MP camera on the back. It’s also got GPS and WiFi for good measure, along with support for a MicroSD card. Unfortunately, there’s no word on pricing, or an actual availability date. Just coming soon.
And then there’s the HTC Desire in black. It’s the exact same device in every other way except the aesthetic alterations. It’s still rocking the 3.7-inch AMOLED display, Bluetooth support, aGPS support, and that 5MP camera on the back. Plus, don’t forget the 1GHz Snapdragon processor under the hood, powering Android 2.1 with HTC’s Sense UI skinning it. All together, it’s a great phone, and we’re sure the new color will attract quite a few people. It’s probably going to be free, just like the brown version, on the appropriate Orange UK plan. So, no need to save up the big bucks (at least, not right off the bat). It’s listed as coming soon, too, with no word on available dates. But, of course, we’ll keep you posted.
