I’ve been told by one of the local HTC retailers that the HTC Desire S will be available in stores this Monday with an indicative SRP of about Php25,990USD 443INR 37,545EUR 422CNY 3,225. Not bad for an HTC Desire re-fresh.
If you are in a hurry to get first dibs on the unit, you can pre-order at Top Electronics (see posted below) and get it at only Php23,500USD 400INR 33,948EUR 381CNY 2,916 (see poster for details).
HTC Desire S specs:
3.7 inches S-LCD touchscreen @ 480 x 800 pixels
1GHz Scorpion processor (Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon)
Adreno 205 GPU
768MB RAM, 512 MB ROM
1.1GB internal storage
up to 32GB on microSD
HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, HSUPA 2 Mbps
Bluetooth 2.1 w/ A2DP
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
5MP autofocus camera w/ LED flash
720p video recording
Front-facing VGA camera
Stereo FM Radio w/ RDS

1450 Li-Ion battery

The HTC Desire S is like a carbon-copy of the original Desire with a few minor improvements. It’s possible the original Desire is already at EOL (end-of-life) and the Desire S will eventually replace it inside store shelves.

One month ago, I read that Nexus S is coming this month. I still can’t find a trace of Nexus S except for the gray market. I hope this really comes out soon.
jayme says:
cool its Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Is the Php25,990 price also on credit card?
top electronics says:
Yes, for 6 mos. installment.
Jd says:
How about the rest of the family (HTC Incredible S, and HTC Wildfire S?)
Razorous says:
Antayin ko nalang muna incredible S…
top electronics says:
I was told that the Incredible S will not be made available locally.
d0t says:
I’m also interested when the Wildfire S will come out locally. (Maybe that will force the price of the original Wildfire to come down :) )
name says:
THIS! I am really thinking about buying the Desire HD .. Though that one has a better 8MP Camera and would have Gingerbread (I’ve heard). The Desire S’ design is better, and I think 5MP is fine, and a Gingerbread out of the box :)) Also, It’s newer :D And the price is not really far from Desire HD’s
pogi says:
i think Galaxy SL is better- with a larger screen, thinner body and lower price tag (only around 19k)
but personally, i would want to wait for Arc, Optimus Black and more powerful dual-core phones to be released. diyan na mag-uumpia ang laban! yeah!

It’s my first time to see and hear HTC. i’m sorry about that. http://learner-spot.blogspot.com/
mattscradle says:
Ganda ng specs not bad for Php26K. Sana mas bumaba pa.
Alps says:
Let’s wait for HTC “Pyramid”!
eLx says:
I’ve been waiting for this phone ever since they released the update about this upgrade. But with the price tag, now I’m confused if I go for Samsung SL or other phones on the same price bracket. I’ve heard that HTC service is far better than Samsung?
thepaper says:
hmmm…. eto or lg optimus 2x?
al says:
For people who are into hacking and customizing their phones to the fullest, desire s has a locked bootloader no custom roms, bad!!
Cxianok says:
Wow tempting! but im also considering Samsung Galaxy S II, hintay hintay siguro muna ako :)
RJ says:
Still not convinced… i am still waiting for xperia arc..
thejackal says:
so sad Incredible S is not coming here
kitsantiago says:
WHAT WOULD YOU PREFER SIR YUGA? IPHONE 4 OR HTC? THANKS. GUYS U CAN ALSO ANSWER.
fr0stbyte says:
I’m gonna wait for EVO 3D. Sobrang dami ng developments recently sa mga smartphones. I think at some point they will be sacrificing battery life for performance na. And yeah.. 3D without glasses is awesome. :))
desireboy says:
Amoled over SLCD? I dont think so. I prefer AMOLED still. Gorilla Glass Display pa din ba to?
Jose Farrugia says:
Guys, I am actually accepting Pre-Orders for the HTC Incredible S. You should check out the Pre-Order form here – http://www.techdron.com/incredibles/
vince says:
pag sa quality mas maganda ang HTC kasi metal hindi katulad ng samsung na plastic aside from that hindi sila ganun kasipag mag-update. hindi katulad ng HTC na simula lumabas hanggang sa ma-phase out alaga nila. Desire will have an upgrade by this month or by May diba?
tech84 says:

Mark says:
