Despite The Carphone Warehouse stealing a march by offering the HTC Desire on a Vodafone contract already, the red network has given TechRadar its official UK release date.

Customers can pick up the HTC Desire in stores from 8 April – before the anticipated release for later in the month.

Vodafone only yesterday announced it will be stocking the HTC Legend from 2 April, but it seems it can’t even hold onto the Desire for a week after that.

High street high times

However, like the HTC Legend, there will be a slight wait if you pre-order, in this case until 13 April, so unless you’re desperate to baggsie your own unit and have the patience of a saint, then you should probably hot-foot it into a store to pick one up on 8 April.

The HTC Desire, which has already begun shipping from T-Mobile and will be coming from Orange on 2 April, will be free on a £30 per month, two year deal, with 900 free minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB internet when bought online.

The pre-order page has gone live now over on Vodafone’s dedicated page, so if you’re in the mood for a Desire and want it specifically on 13 April (or have a contract with the network or something more likely), then head on over there now.
