If you are waiting to order a sim free HTC Desire or Legend then the good news is that next week both will be available from devicewire.com
The HTC Desire will be in stock on Monday and the Legend from Wednesday.
If you have not placed an order yet I suggest you head on over to devicewire.com as I have a slight suspicion both of these handsets may be rather popular.
If you have not read our review of the HTC Legend you can do so here. The Desire review will hopefully be done before the device is released however HTC have not released any review devices yet.
In addition to ordering online you can call devicewire free on 0800 198 0000 or alternatively use their ‘Live Chat’ service on the site.

Here is the second chunk of Samsung for today. This time with the Wave:
Samsung Wave to Offer 720p Playback of High-Quality DivX Video; Android-powered Samsung Galaxy S Next in Line for DivX HD Certification
We look forward to seeing that in action! Read on for the full press release.
Yesterday we brought you the announcement details of Samsungs new flagship Android device, the i9000 Galaxy S.
The guys at mobileburn managed to get a hands on with the device and below you will see their video.
As you will see, the Super AMOLED screen on the Galaxy S is truly amazing and possibly the best screen we have seen to date. Although the technology is the same as the Samsung Wave, that I had a chance to play with at MWC, the Galaxy S has a massive 4 inch capacitive screen to wins on size.
Being able to video record in HD and then watch the video back in HD on that screen will be the deciding factor for some perspective buyers. I know the below video will not do the screen justice but it looks unbelievably vibrant.
This is going to sell like hot cakes when it’s released this summer.
Enjoy the video.
Our lucky friends over the pond in the States are getting a brand new HTC device, the Evo 4G.
The device will be available on the carrier Sprint this summer and man, what a phone. The hardware is clearly based on the HTC HD2 but this time running Android 2.1 with a few improvements.
Once again we see a 4.3 TFT LCD with a with a Snapdragon QSD8650 1GHz processor. The Evo will be able to hold plenty of apps as it generously comes with 1GB of storage and 512MB or RAM.
An 8mp camera is onboard with a 1.3mp front facing for good measure. The HTC Evo will also be capable of shooting 720p video, a massive bonus!
Read on to see the full specs and press release from HTC & Sprint.
It’s been a relatively quiet week however Gareth, Matt, James and Andy have gotten together to discuss the more interesting recent topics.
Today Samsung have announced what sounds like a beast of a phone, the Galaxy S.
The Galaxy S GT-I9000 has a 4-inch Super AMOLED display running at WVGA 800 x 480 resolution, together with a 5-megapixel autofocus camera, 1GHz processor and the company’s own custom UI.
The camera is also capable of video recording 720p HD at 30 frames per second. Fingers crossed it will do a better job than the Sony Ericsson Vivaz did that I reviewed last week.
As well as that nice big super AMOLED screen the Galaxy S also comes with A-GPS, Bluetooth 3.0 USB 2.0 and Wi-Fi b/g/n. Onboard storage will be either 8 or 16gb and external storage of up to 32gb, nice.
Sounds like a serious contender for the Google Nexus One and HTC Desire?
INQ have identified a gap in the market for a low-cost handset that focuses on core functionality without trying too hard to be a jack of all trades. The INQ Chat 3G is the filler for that gap.
Accidentally dialling ‘999’ when a mobile phone is in your pocket is not what I had in mind when taking the Chat 3G for a spin but thankfully this little incident doesn’t detract from what has turned out to be an interesting addition to the world of social mobile. More about that later though.
From the box through to the instruction cards and the phone itself, everything looks to be geared towards the youth market with it’s bright colours and comic/Manga imagery. Whilst it’s never going to compete with touch screen smartphones in terms of sheer ability, underneath all the gloss is a capable device that comes pre-loaded with fully integrated social networking applications for the likes of Facebook, twitter, Skype and MSN Messenger.
My review unit came with a 3 PAYG SIM giving free Skype-to-Skype calls and Windows Live Messenger usage.
With so many different applications for twitter it’s hard to decide which one is best and to be honest which one is best for me may not be best for you.
If you use TweetDeck on your desktop computer then the mobile version may be right up your street, as long as you have an iPhone or iPod Touch of course!
The mobile version of the app is pretty much identical to the desktop version and will allow you to perform the same functions.
And the good news is it’s free!
Announced back in October last year the Acer beTouch E101 is one of those handsets which I’m not really sure where it sits compared to the competition. It’s clearly a smartphone as it’s running Windows Mobile 6.5 however it seems to be lacking a few features which you would come to expect with any smartphone these days.
I will be basing this review on the fact that the beTouch E101 is a budget handset so will not be comparing it to the high end Windows Phones out there at the moment. At only £176.25 the beTouch E101 certainly has an attractive price tag but the question is, do we think it is worth the money and will users gets frustrated at the lack of high end features?
