14 DAY TRIAL // There are three new mobile phones from handset vendor HTC Corporation set to become available for purchase on the market in the near future, the HTC HD mini, Desire and Legend, and now some more details on when that might happen emerged. All three phones can be seen now on retailer Expansys' website, where they are listed with a price tag each, and are said to arrive on shelves as soon as April 12 is here.
The HTC HD mini, powered by Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.5.3, is expected to retail for £349.99, while hitting the market all dressed up in black. The HTC Desire, Nexus One's younger brother, is said to arrive priced at £449.99, while the HTC Legend should sport a price tag of £399.99, available in a silver variant.
The Taiwan-based mobile phone maker already stated that these handsets were expected to land on the market in April, so the release dates might pan out in the end. However, they were also said to arrive via various wireless operators in Europe, and Orange already announced that it would carry the Desire, and it remains to be seen whether Expansys offers the phones free of contract, or some monthly agreements will also be there.
At the same time, we should mention that the price tags for each new HTC mobile phone are still unconfirmed. Although the retailer lists a price for each of the handsets, it has happened before for the actual cost of the device to be lower than originally showed. And with Orange already saying that it will have the HTC Desire for free on select monthly plans, various other deals will certainly emerge on this one at least. One way or the other, the good news is that the three HTC phones will land in the beginning of April in the UK, and they might get launched in other markets too at the same time, so stay tuned for more.
