Got an insider tip that the HTC Desire will be launched in the Philippines on June 18, 2010. This comes as a surprise since the HTC Legend was locally released just a month ago.
The HTC Desire is very similar to the Nexus One and even deemed a bit better due to HTC’s home-brewed Sense UI.
HTC Desire
Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 1 GHz processor
3.7 inches AMOLED touchscreen @ 480 x 800 pixels
576 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM
up to 16GB on microSD
HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, HSUPA 2 Mbps
Bluetooth 2.1
WiFi 802.11 b/g
5 MP autofocus camera w/ LED flash
Stereo FM Radio
GpS with aGPS support
The HTC Desire runs Android OS, v2.1 (Eclair) out of the box but will surely be ready for a Android 2.2 Froyo upgrade.
We’re not sure how much the retail price will be but expect it to be higher than the HTC Hero and HTC Legend’s SRP — so Php35k to Php40k perhaps? We will soon find out.
Update: Got word that some stores are selling it for Php31,000

If they are selling that HTC with a price ranging from 35-40 which is very ridiculous, well many might go with Iphone, if they want to compete with apple here in our country they should at least sell it with reasonable price like around 25k-30k
