Telstra last night announced its release details for the Desire S and Wildfire S smartphones from HTC. Both Gingerbread-based handsets are going to be available exclusively through Telstra, with an exceptionally attractive outright purchase price.
The Desire S, the true successor to last year’s top-selling Desire handset, will be available from May 31 for an outright price of $648, or for $5 a month on Telstra’s $59 Freedom Connect plan.
The Wildfire S won’t be available until July 19, but when it goes on sale it will be available for $360 outright or across a range of Freedom Connect plans.
Both are exceptionally affordable for a brand new smartphone, although the lack of a dual core processor may sway some discerning nerd types (you know who you are) away…
