HTC Desire 500 lands at Carphone Warehouse in the UK

The HTC Desire 500, a mid-range smartphone for those that don’t want to buy into the company’s One range, has gone on sale in the UK. Right now it’s available only through the Carphone Warehouse, although the press release we received simply calls it the ‘first’ retailer to get the phone. So expect others to follow.

What is exclusive to the retailer is a Shimmer White model. The more standard Lacquer Black will also go on sale there too. It’s available SIM-free at just under £200, while contracts start at £15. You can get the phone online here.

We’re tinkering around with the HTC Desire 500 for review at the moment. You should see it in the coming weeks.
