I've already blogged about this but since HTC sent me an email with regards to the official launching of the Desire S in the Philippines, then I think I should be blogging about it again. This time though, it comes with a press release to make things really official. Anyway, guys! The next iteration of the original HTC Desire is now available in the Philippines with an SRP of Php 27,000 and comes free from Smart starting with plan 2000.
