HTC Desire C hands-on (video)

[![HTC Desire C hands-on][1] ][2]

HTC gave us a quick session to play around with its latest handset, the [Desire C][3]. No, it's not part of the consolidated [One series][4], nor is the company revealing precisely _what_ that "C" stands for -- heaven forfend it's "cheap". While a humble 320 x 480 touchscreen and 600MHz processor might not set many smartphone obsessives' hearts a' racing, it still manages to eke out a HTC Sense-skinned Android 4.0 UI -- no mere feat, in our opinion. A 5-megapixel camera and expandable microSD slot are some other welcome specifications and it's all wrapped up in an attractive matte finish -- you can take your pick form black and white in the UK. Catch our quick video run-through of the sub-$300 handset right after the break.
