Virgin Media HTC HD2 Availability Confirmed

Tweet

Last year in December we caught wind that Vodafone UK is going to ditch the WinMO 6.5 HTC HD2 for “general” customers (only available to business customers) and will trade it with Apple’s sleek iPhone. So here we are just a month later, trying to bring a good word to those bittered that they can’t get their hands on the popular HD2, the good folks from Virgin Media have actually started selling the device, today.

Working on getting a bigger piece of the pie in the UK, Virgin Mobile gifts you the new HTC HD2 but requires a signature on a 24-months contract that will cost a good £30 per month. Other than that, if you get yours now, Virgin Mobile is also throwing in a 3 months free phone insurance, unlimited web access for 30p a day (only for those days when you use it) and up to £100 free airtime if you trade in your old phone.

“The HTC HD2 is a stunning handset and the first-ever HTC-branded phone ranged by Virgin Media”, Jonathan Kini, director of mobile at Virgin Media said in a press release announcing the launch. “Its launch kick starts a new range of high-end handsets coming to Virgin Media, perfect for mobile internet, social networking and entertainment on the go”.

For those out of the know, HTC HD2 features a 4.3-inch touchscreen display, is powered by Qualcomm’s 1GHz Snapdragon processor, offers a 5-megapixel camera with a dual LED flash, and HTC’s Sense UI.
