HTC Desire in the Philippines
I went to Greenhills Shopping Center earlier today to have my Samsung Galaxy Spica upgraded to Eclair. But unfortunately, the service center is not open on weekends. Instead, I took the opportunity to window shop in Greenhills’ gadget area. And guess what I found, an HTC Desire in the wild.
Several stalls in Greenhills are selling brand new unboxed units of HTC Desire for Php 33,000.00. Infomax in Greenhills is also selling the same but boxed units for Php 40,000.00. One stall that I found is selling a second hand (in pretty good condition – see photo above ) HTC Desire for Php 24,000.00.
The Google Nexus Ones are slightly more expensive than the HTC Desire.
I wish I have tried the desire but the store owner won’t let me use it, bummer.
Here are a few info about the HTC Desire:
