If you are over here in the United Kingdom and have had your eyes on the HTC Desire X, but don’t wish to commit to a contract, you might like to know that the Android 4.0 smartphone is now available as a SIM free unlocked smartphone in Stealth Black in the UK, as the white version is exclusive to Phones 4u.

According to an article over on Phone Arena, the HTC Desire X is now available to purchase as a SIM free device from UK retailer Clove, which will set you back 228-quid including VAT, which is roughly 367-bucks, but you do get 25GB of free Dropbox storage for a two-year term.

If you have been pondering on whether to snap up the HTC Desire X, the Android Ice Cream Sandwich device offers a 4-inch S-LCD2 touch screen along with a 5 megapixel rear facing auto-focus camera with LED flash, a 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 dual core processor, Adreno 203 graphics, 768MB RAM, 4GB internal storage, microSD expansion up to 32GB, Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi, DNLA, A-GPS, and runs Android 4.0 OS.

The HTC Desire X measures 118.5 x 62.3 x 9.3mm with a weight of 114 grams and has a 1650mAh removable Li-ion battery said to deliver up to 1200 minutes GSM and up to 600 minutes talk time along with up to 750-hours GSM and up to 833-hours 3G standby time.

The HTC Desire X isn’t the greatest spec’d Android smartphone to come to the mobile space, but if you can’t really afford to shell out a bunch of cash on a higher end handset then perhaps the Desire X is the handset to suit your needs. So with that in mind are any of our UK readers going to purchase the HTC Desire X?
