It was not a secret as last week it was reported in numerous places that the Android HTC Desire would be being released on April 8Th with Vodafone and that orders were being taken ahead of the release by both T Mobile and also Carphone Warehouse.

Surprisingly though it seems that the phone is in apparent short supply which has in turn prompted UK delays from both of the carriers. Somebody at T3 has already pre ordered the handset but has received an email from Vodafone which states the phone was unexpectedly out of stock.

Vodafone have since confirmed much to the delighted of those eagerly awaiting the HTC Desire that they will have more stock available within 7-10 working days. Not quite the 8th April date we hoped for. Passing the buck a representative from Vodafone has claimed that the problem was with HTC.

HTC have so far not comments but have confirmed that the Desire is in very high demand. T Mobile have also confirmed that they are also out of stock and they had no information on when it will become available. So it looks like we have another little wait on our hands before the middle of next week unless something else crops up of course. Source – t3.com
