HTC Desire going Silver for AT&T?

If you’re not quite feeling the graphite-colored HTC Desire that has been making the rounds for the past few months, we’ve got some potentially good news for you. The folks at xda-developers have posted up a pic of an HTC Desire with a Silver color scheme. It’s not yet known if this color will be available when the handset goes live later this year, but it’s nice to see an alternative color combo on the Nexus One-esque Desire.

The HTC Desire looks and feels a lot like the Google Nexus One. HTC manufactured the Nexus One for Google, after all, so it makes sense that the headlining Android smartphones bears a striking resemblance to each other. The Desire takes the N1′s Android-flavored recipe and adds its own Sense UI on top of the homescreen. It also replaces the N1′s trackball with a surprisingly accurate and usable optical trackpad. All other specs are presumably unchanged – that’s usually how it works with color variants of the same device.

AT&T is so far rumored to be picking up the HTC Desire this year, so it’s possible that the Silver Desire will be headed to Big Blue’s stable. It’s also possible that this particular variant will never see the light of day. Either way, we’ll be keeping a close eye on AT&T and their Nexus One/Desire aspirations.

    i can’t wait for this phone. when i heard it was possible that it would go to AT&T i definitely stuck it on the top of my most wanted list. hopefully at&t doesnt fall through with this one. im sick of apple and im not a big fan of the iphone.

    I’m really hoping At&t gets this phone. We are slacking in the high-end phone department right now. The iphone and blackberry’s are all good phones, but they have gotten old, fast. I’m ready for something new and fresh. My upgrade is in July so hopefully its out by then.

    Has anybody confirmed whether this device is actually going to make it to AT&T or not. It’s mid-August now, and still no sign of it.

    The silver would be sweet, if it ever comes to AT&T. Jeez, it’s Sept 2010 and to sate my craving
    for this phone, I am reduced to web searching for more reviews/pics. Honestly, when it finally
    arrives I am hoping I still want one! Ha! As if…
