HTC Desire shows up in slinky silver (video)

Here's another thing the Desire has that the Nexus One doesn't: a second color option. We're told our Dutch buddies will soon be able to skip the default gunmetal paintjob that's shared by HTC's twin brothers and opt into the silvery casing you see above. The pictures are captioned with a note saying the silver Desire will be exclusive to BelCompany in the Netherlands, but we've found a few other retailers claiming their own exclusief. Either way, we still don't know how things will shake out elsewhere, but at least there won't be too long to wait. We've got video of the very slightly altered handset after the break.

[Thanks, Miguel]

no need to be pissed but the mini3 will drop before the 5. However you might be pissed at the timeline....Juneish for mini3 and after that for the 5. yes I know Dell said 2Q, but i'm just sayin....

This can copy and paste and multitask!! Looks a beast!

[ck2000r Posted Mar 17th 2010 9:38AM]

Why didn't they give the Desire an alu unibody like the Legend that would have been perfect

[ClockMenace Posted Mar 17th 2010 9:39AM]

I, for some reason, expect the gunmetal silver to feel like a granite statue...silver looks a tad flat, but still nice. I like 'em both.

[ClockMenace Posted Mar 17th 2010 9:42AM]

@ClockMenace

'gunmetal silver'? Whoops. Just gunmetal.

Dude, drops the phone on its screen and taps on it? slap-chop!

I had to look twice because i thought it was the nexus one!

[jlarex Posted Mar 17th 2010 11:04AM]

@JustThatNerdyGuy

Well It's basically a rebranded Nexus One, so the resemblance is not surprising.

[custmmade Posted Mar 17th 2010 11:01AM]

looks like the N1 to me.....

[stabbytheicepic Posted Mar 17th 2010 11:42AM]

@custmmade it is the N1

[mcc Posted Mar 17th 2010 11:44AM]

@custmmade
Almost- no noise cancellation though, which is one of my favorite features on the N1. I can make a call in a loud cafeteria, speak normally, and the person on the other end won't even know.

[stabbytheicepic Posted Mar 17th 2010 11:47AM]

@mcc no noise cancellation? That's a deal breaker.

*licks N1*

[airbag888 Posted Mar 17th 2010 11:54AM]

That would've been the phone if I didn't want the Supersonic's 4.3" screen

[Shash450 Posted Mar 17th 2010 12:19PM]

mmm that Silver one looks amaaazing!

[KimH Posted Mar 17th 2010 1:01PM]

I HATE silver colored electronics, like the crap of the '70s and '80s.

[pete42 Posted Mar 17th 2010 1:24PM]

the silver is really nice. AT&T, Roger, Telus or Bell has to get this phone. At least now there is a greater chance of seeing this phone in north america sooner with 4 carriers supporting the same frequencies but ive been wrong before. Hope its not AT&T they'll ruin it like sprint did the hero

[jawman Posted Mar 17th 2010 1:54PM]

Does anyone know if this phone is going to be limited to just AT&T? Or will it also be released on TMo and/or VZW? I wanted the N1 with Sense, so the Desire is the perfect choice, but I’m hesitant to switch to AT&T’s network…

[NickA Posted Mar 17th 2010 2:53PM]

@jawman

It's not even set to be limited to AT&T. Right now, there is no evidence that it's coming to North America at all and it as been said before that it will not. Anyone who says otherwise is just speculating for the time being.

[jellotime91 Posted Mar 17th 2010 6:05PM]

Omg... That looks so effing beautiful..
I want that so badly..
Now if only that were a trackball and not a weird dot.

[hamsuplo Posted Mar 18th 2010 1:18AM]

wow, i'm really surprised what a simple color change can do, that brown really wasn't doing the desire justice, i think it looks great now

[Zzephyr Posted Mar 18th 2010 2:40AM]

Well, I've been pining after the HD2, but this cutie wouldn't be a bad compromise.

[Inspector Gadget80 Posted Apr 23rd 2010 5:47PM]

The Silver is Sleek and Sexy color. I'm guessing this is not coming to AT&T. guess I lost my hope to get a full powered ANDROID PHONE.
