Black HTC Desire Spotted On Amazon France
A black colored HTC Desire is up for pre-order on Amazon France. The Black HTC Desire version costs €502.94 and other than that, it packs practically the same features. The only difference that we can see from Amazon’s image is a slightly modified optical trackpad. Gone is the metallic “ring” around the trackpad, replaced by an optical trackpad without any bezel.
These specs include:
*Android 2.1
*1GHz Snapdragon processor
*3.5G, Wi-Fi, GPS
*1400mAh battery
*Motion sensor, compass
*119×60×11.9mm, 135g

HTC Desire, Galaxy Portal & Xperia X10 Hit Virgin Mobile
Virgin Media has begun bulking up its Android-arsenal with the addition of the HTC Desire – the HTC-branded Nexus One –, the Samsung Galaxy Portal and Sony Ericsson’s sharp-shooting Xperia X10.
So far, the only device listed on the Virgin Media site is the Galaxy Portal, which is available for free on an 18 month contract with 250 minutes, as well as unlimited data and texts, for £22 per month.
The HTC Desire, which should be coming to the UK in the next couple of weeks, is essentially the Nexus One – just with HTC’s Sense UI.
Techradar have reported that Virgin Media will be offering “compelling” tariffs for the HTC Desire – but can it beat the £30 per month with 900 minutes, 500 texts and unlimited data deal offered by T-Mobile on mobilephonesdirect?

Rumor: T-Mobile USA training employees on HTC Desire
It’s been a while since we heard a rumour saying that the employees of a certain carrier are getting ready for a handset’s launch. HTC Desire is the perfect reason for T-Mobile USA employees to do so, at least that’s what a mysterious manager of a T-Mobile store claims. Apparently, the employees are gearing up for Desire right now.
HTC Desire is only one of the many new devices coming to T-Mobile, but probably the most impressive specs-wise. The info that was leaked on the web is also backed up by some inside sources, so it’s pretty much real. However, some folks speculated that this new mystery device that’s been tested is in fact HTC HD2 or CLIQ XT.
I guess time will tell…

HTC Desire leaked and rom ported to Nexus One
For those of you who think that HTC Desire and Nexus One are very much the same thing, know that the Desire is a tad better than Google’s handset. However, this can be fixed, since that bit of customization brought by HTC can now be found in a ROM that was ported to Nexus One.
This process was done thanks to Paul from MoDaCo, who discovered the ROM and started playing with it, in order to create a port for the Nexus One. We remind you that HTC Desire isn’t even available yet, since it’ll go live in April and already people are messing with its software.
The purpose of the port was to get the new phone’s goodies to the Google Phone, stuff like the HTC Sense UI and camera apps with face recognition, but we’ve also found out that Flash in the browser is working and bugs are being corrected as we speak. More info on this beta ROM and download links for it can be found here.
