HTC Desire now available on US Cellular for $199.95
By Vlad Bobleanta on 27 Aug 10The HTC Desire has been rumored to be coming to US Cellular for months. Back in April, the carrier even confirmed that it will be selling HTC’s smartphone “this summer”.
I guess it still is summer, though they sure knew how to wait up until almost the end of it.
The HTC Desire is finally available from US Cellular for $199.95 (after a $70 mail-in rebate) with a new 2-year contract. You’ll need to get a monthly plan of at least $39.99 if you want to qualify for that mail-in rebate. Also, having a smartphone data plan for the entire duration of the service agreement is required.
The Desire is not available on pre-paid plans on US Cellular.
Specs are the same as always for the Desire, save for the fact that this is a CDMA version, and this is a model that comes with a Super LCD display instead of the AMOLED tech the first Desire batches shipped with.
Other than that, highlights include the 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, 3.7″ touchscreen, 5 MP autofocus camera, HTC Sense UI on top of Android 2.1. You also get an 8 GB microSD card in the box, which is always nice to have.
