HTC Desire X goes on sale, includes Beats by Dre headphones

UK MOBILE RETAILER Phones 4U has started selling the HTC Desire X, following its unveiling at IFA in August.

Phones 4U is offering the phone - on certain tariffs at least - with a free pair of Beats by Dr Dre Solo headphones worth £150. To grab a free pair of expensive cans, you'll have to sign up to a £26 a month O2 contract, which also gets you unlimited minutes, unlimited texts and 1GB of monthly data.

If you're not that bothered about the free Solo headphones, you can opt for a cheaper £21 24 month contact, which comes with 100 minutes, unlimited texts and 100MB of data.

If the free headphones haven't lured you, maybe the handset's specifications will. A mid-range phone, the HTC Desire X features a 4in 480x800 S-LCD screen, a 1GHz dual-core processor, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, a 5MP rear facing camera, 4GB of internal storage and a 1,650mAh battery.

The handset is also tipped to go on sale at Carphone Warehouse, but it has yet to announce its pricing. µ
