Mobile phone carrier Vodafone UK has now a new mobile phone available for purchase for its users, namely a red flavor of the HTC Desire S.

Basically, this would be the one and the same Desire S that HTC unveiled to the world in February, but it comes with a red coat on it, and that makes it a little more special that other colored flavors of the device.

The red flavor of HTC Desire S is available in the UK exclusively through Vodafone, the wireless carrier announced. Those users interested in purchasing it should head to the wireless carrier's website here to learn more on it.

The mobile phone is available for free upon the singing of a new contract agreement with the wireless carrier, on monthly plans that start at £30 per month.

The red flavor of HTC Desire S runs under Google's Android operating system, and offers the same specs and capabilities as the original device.

“The HTC Desire S boasts a slim and stylish design shaped from a single piece of aluminum, making it feel more solid than the HTC Desire - and lighter too,” the wireless carrier notes on its website.

“And just like on the HTC Desire HD and Sony Ericsson Xperia arc the Desire S has an impressive 3.7" touchscreen that's perfect for showing off photos, enjoying video clips and making everything on the web look clear.”

The mobile phone is powered by a fast 1GHz application processor, and sports 1.1GB of internal memory, complemented by a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage space.

It also comes with a 5-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with HD video recording capabilities, and with a 1.3-megapixel camera on the front, for video calling.

The mobile phone would also provide users with enhanced connectivity capabilities, as well as with support for various Google services, and for applications available from the Android Market.

“It's easy to use, quick to learn and uses less battery life. Gingerbread also makes typing on a touchscreen simple, so you can send texts and emails quickly. And because Android is from Google, it works well with Gmail, Google Maps and more,” the wireless carrier explains.
