HTC Desire S 

HTC's new Gingerbread-powered Desire S is now available on all five major British networks.

Three, Orange and T-Mobile are offering the phone for free on contracts of £35 per month. If you're into shiny, exclusive stuff then you'll be interested to learn that T-Mobile will be exclusively selling the silver version of the device (that's the one in the pic above). If you order a Desire S through any other carrier you'll get the standard black version.

Vodafone and O2 offer a free Desire S on slightly cheaper contracts of £30 and £27 per month respectively. Meanwhile The Carphone Warehouse can hook you up with a free Desire S on-contract with a number of providers for as little as £25 per month.

If you're thinking of picking up a Desire S, make sure you check out our hands-on feature, and keep watching over the next few days for our full review!

I really like this phone: not too big, solid chassis, slightly bigger battery, nicely accessible SIM and micro-SD cards. It seems to have the right stuff. I will be watching for that review.

Hey could you please confirm the WiFi death grip issue,
have read that when held in landscape, with camera covered, the wifi signal drops, also when placed on the couch ......

If the wifi issue is there, is it bearable??

That would be a deciding factor between desires and inc s for me
