Made official last week, HTC Desire C is about to make its debut in the UK. The smartphone was initially slated for a May 24 release, but it got delayed for unknown reasons.

Customers who wish to pre-order the Desire C can do so via Clove UK. The smartphone is priced at £189.99 (300 USD/235 EUR) outright and is due to arrive on May 31, one week later than expected.

The budget-friendly smartphone will be shipped with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system onboard. HTC Sense 4.0 UI will be included as well.

Hardware-wise, the Desire C is equipped with a low-performance 600 MHz single-core processor, 512 MB of RAM, 4GB of internal memory and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB). Check it out here.
