It’s been months since we updated you on the HTC Desire, a Snapdragon-powered Android OS smartphone originally thought to be headed to AT&T.  That may still be the case, though a home at AT&T is as yet unconfirmed. What is confirmed is that the Desire is indeed headed for the U.S.

We’ve just received word from an HTC PR rep that the Desire will arrive in the United States “via select regional operators beginning this August.”  It’s currently unclear what exactly is meant by “regional operators,” but if the Desire remains a GSM/UMTS handset when it arrives stateside, it’ll have to come via AT&T, T-Mobile or a similar network.
