A few hours ago, we saw HTC giving us good news that they will bring the HTC Desire to the USA via select regional operators in August. That was good news. But now I have more good news for you. Cellular South has came out and officially announced that they will carry the HTC Desire. HTC Desire will be the 3rd Android Device Cellular South will offer. They announced the HTC Hero last fall, and soon they are going to launch the Milestone. If you guys remember a while ago, Cellular South announced they will introduce a new line up of Android devices this Summer, and the Milestone and Desire are part of it. They did not gave us enough information about this phone, so the release date and price is unknown, but it sounds like you can expect a release date sometime in August as HTC indicated.
U.S.Cellular previously announced that they will carrying this device and it was expected in July, but then they canceled it because of the shortages. Now let’s hope we  can expect that both carriers will be announcing this device in August.
Have a look on the press release:
