HTC Desire software patch and white version on the way (plus silver Wildfire)

Okay, let's all calm down about the upcoming HTC announcements on Wednesday. I'm sure you've heard enough about the event and you'll get to find out exactly what latest handsets are getting spewed out into the market in two days.

And when they do get announced, they may not be getting released for months after they are announced, they'll probably sell out, someone will say they've got an antenna problem or a bug and they'll be super-expensive. What I'm trying to say is just because a new handset is on the horizon doesn't mean we should rubbish its predecessor.

The HTC Desire is a fantastic handset and as it is on the verge of getting replaced it is becoming even more attractive. We told you recently that the price of a Desire on contract has dropped, with 3 pushing them out at a tiny £20 per month.

Now, rumour has it that a white version of Desire, is exclusively coming to The Carphone Warehouse in the UK before Christmas. It is also believed that a silver HTC Wildfire is also coming to the retailer at the same time.

A Carphone Warehouse rep said site that “This is something of a departure for the company - usually they just prepare an initial range of colours and that's it.” They really are treating us.

There's also something to stop current Desire users feeling neglected. The HTC support website has announced that an over-the-air software update is now available.

The company advises that you use a Wi-Fi connection to download it as it’s a large. In return you get:

– Android OS update patch

– Enhanced multi-inbox Gmail support

– Improved Russia keyboard layout (possibly the most exciting of upgrades)
