HTC’s Desire is undoubtedly one of the headline Android devices of 2010 so far — and heck, when you’re using the already-great Nexus One as a starting point and re-upping it with an optical pad, physical buttons, and Sense , it’s hard to argue otherwise. US Cellular has now become the first carrier to bring the device to the States (nearly five grueling months since its first spats of international availability, we’d like to note), and because USCC’s a CDMA carrier, this is naturally a slightly different device than you’re getting elsewhere . . . → Read More: HTC Desire (US Cellular) review

Right on time , US Cellular’s CDMA-flavored version of the HTC Desire is now available for a nickel under $200, making it the undisputed big dog in the regional carrier’s lineup (its first Android device, the Samsung Acclaim, launched a few weeks back). What you get for your hard-earned money here is a surprisingly accurate recreation of the GSM Desire the rest of the world has been enjoying for much of this year, with the same optical pad, 3.7-inch display, 5 megapixel cam, Sense, 1GHz Snapdragon core, and identical industrial design (which, considering how good the original looks, is just fine with us).

First up is the well-leaked Desire HD , which these guys list as a Froyo device equipped with a 4.3-inch display, 1GHz core, 8 megapixel camera with 720p video capture, and 4GB of internal storage (in other words, precisely what we were expecting). More interesting to some, though, will be the Desire Z, which is described as an Android 2.1 device (yes, 2.1, not 2.2) with a full sliding keyboard — quite likely the Vision , if we had to guess . . . → Read More: British retailer outs HTC Desire Z, confirms Desire HD again Like many carriers these days, US Cellular is looking to go all-in on Android — but it’s just getting started, having launched only the Samsung Acclaim so far. We already knew we’d be getting the Desire in August , and now we’ve got a date: August 27, to be exact. Pricing has yet to be announced — and unfortunately, they specifically call out Android 2.1 in the press release, so it apparently won’t have Froyo at launch — but from an Android perspective, USCC’s still at a point where they’ll take what they can get . . . → Read More: HTC Desire launching on US Cellular August 27, ups 2010 Android total to five devices And there it is, folks, a picture of what reportedly is the HTC . . . → Read More: First HTC Desire HD (Ace) pic leaks out Just as it was foretold , the HTC Desire is in the midst of its Android 2.2 update, with reports of the Froyo OTA . . . → Read More: HTC Desire getting its Froyo OTA today We’re still not entirely sure what’s planned for a couple of HTC . . . → Read More: HTC Desire HD ‘Ace’ and Desire Z ‘Vision’ show up in Vodafone inventory system Official: HTC rolling out Android 2.2, 720p video, iTunes sync to unlocked Euro Desires this weekendWe’ve just heard directly from HTC regarding that hotly anticipated upgrade to Android 2.2: it’s happening this weekend for lucky Euroland owners of the Desire.
