Clove claims earlier end of March date for HTC Desire S
TAIWANESE PHONE MAKER HTC's Desire S is expected to appear in the UK the last week of this month and not 18 April as had previously been stated.
According to mobile phone etailer Clove.co.uk's blog, the Android 2.3 Gingerbread powered handset will be landing the week of Monday 28 March. The Desire S is already available for pre-order from Clove for £406.80.
Clove's blog post said, "We are expecting stock of the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) handset to be here in the last week of March, which is a bit earlier than initially expected."
The Desire S is the successor to the HTC Desire HD and it has a number of design changes, such as a smaller 3.7-inch display, unibody design, and a 5MP camera. But it keeps a 1GHz Snapdragon processor.
Despite Clove's new date other etailers have not changed their availability dates. Amazon still says the phone will not be available until 18 April. µ

Can it be said that this phone does not really have any new hardware but instead comes with Android 2.3, a simple update that other Android phones COULD have but operators are not pushing out these updates to force buyers to get a new phone?
They are just pressing people to root their phones & update manually.
