O2 will sell the HTC Desire X from October

BUBBLY MOBILE NETWORK O2 has revealed its plans to sell the HTC Desire X, following the phone's launch at IFA last month.

We spotted the phone on the network's coming soon page with a vague October release date but no details on the handset's pricing. However, given its mid-range label and £230 SIM free price-tag, we're assuming it will fetch around £20 a month.

Unveiled at IFA in Berlin, the HTC Desire X offers an affordable alternative to HTC's top-end One X handset. In terms of specifications it features a decent 4in 480x800 Super LCD display powered by a 1GHz dual-core processor and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

There's also a 5MP camera on its rear, 4GB of internal storage expandable via microSD, integrated Beats Audio software, HSDPA and WiFi connectivity and a 1,650mAh battery.

Phones 4U has revealed that it will exclusively sell the HTC Desire X in white, so we're assuming O2 will be selling the darker coloured model.
