As if the HTC Desire wasn't, well, desirable enough with its big bold screen and Sense UI. Now word is out that it will come in a sexy shade of black from Orange.
Orange UK has tweeted the news which is smart really for news on a phone with a range of widgets, including one dedicated to Twitter.
The regular Desire will reach the high streets early next month, and will come in metallic brown with a silver version also leaked but yet unconfirmed.
Orange's exclusive black edition will be available in late April, so you'll need to be a bit more patient to match your handbag.
The Black HTC Desire will still operate Android 2.1, which (amongst other things) provides more widget features and enhanced search capabilities.
It will also have the same 3.7 inch AMOLED touchscreen for more luminescent colours.
The phone will come with a 5 megapixel camera with auto focus and flash, as well as a standard 3.5mm headphone jack for you to plug in your very own pair of Sennheisers.
Connectivity-wise, you get Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDSPA, GPA and A-GPS. There is also a microUSB port for easy file transfers.
Orange has been living up to its colourful name lately, also announcing it would exclusively offer the Sony Ericsson XPERIA 10 in "Luster White".
Would you wait the extra weeks for a black Desire? Leave us a comment and let us know.

I really don’t get the black edition, they have got rid of the ring around the tracker pad so it just looks like a dot and the black color is just to plain. What they have done here is take the best smart phone in the world and made it look cheap and nasty.
The regular Desire is already out (since Friday 26th March) – you can buy it in Carphone Warehouse on any network. Some T-Mobile shops should have a few in too. I nearly bought one yesterday but have decided to hang on to see what my current provider will do on my impending upgrade date. Extremely nice phone.
