HTC Desire S red edition lands on Vodafone

Vodafone has secured exclusivity on a rather smart red edition of the HTC Desire S, bringing a bit of much-needed colour to the muted black and grey shades that typically characterise high-end Android kit.

On sale now, the red respray of the Desire S is free on £30 per month, 24-month contract deals. Or if you don’t mind paying a bit upfront, you can get it for £25 per month, plus a one-off charge of £99 to cover the cost of the handset.

The latest addition to HTC’s flagship Desire-branded Android phones takes its design cues from the HTC Legend, most obviously in the form of its unibody aluminium construction.

Elsewhere, it’s home to a 3.7-inch Super LCD display, plus a rear mounted five-megapixel rear-facing camera for vids and still and a secondary front-facing snapper for video calling.

Under the hood, the Desire S is powered by a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and packs the 2.2 version of Android, AKA Froyo, out of the box. However, an update to the latest 2.3 iteration has been confirmed for Vodafone customers later this year.
