Currently, T-Mobile are offering the HTC Desire free on the £30 month contract compared to their previous £35 per month before the iPhone 4 release date. The T-Mobile contract will offer you 600 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited internet compared to some of the iPhone 4 deals which.
For example, the cheapest and comparable deal to date is an iPhone 4 contract on Three which offers you a 32GB iPhone 4 on a £30 month contract, offering you 500 minutes, 5000 texts, 5,000 Three-to-Three minutes, however you would have to pay an upfront cost for the phone of £189.
The HTC Desire is certainly a fantastic piece of kit, however the only drawback to its vast array of features is its lack of internal memory. Currently, the the HTC Desire which is just a tiny 512MB, however to make up for this it comes with a micoSD card slot which allows you to store up to 32GB of memory.
With recent news of the iPhone 4 currently experiencing reception problems, it certainly makes the HTC Desire a more reliable phone and a worthy contender, however I wonder if the slash in prices will affect people buying the HTC Desire over the iPhone 4?
