US Cellular Cites Industry-Wide Screen Shortage for HTC Desire Delay
AMOLED displays are still in short supply as we know from Verizon’s inability to keep the HTC Droid Incredible in stock, and now it’s affecting even more carriers. US Cellular – excited as they’ve ever been to bring the HTC Desire to their customers – had to delay the phone because HTC can’t produce them fast enough.
We hear you, Android fans! And here’s an exclusive update: An industry-wide screen shortage issue is delaying certain phones…including the HTC Desire. The good news: We expect the ridiculously cool Desire to still drop around August.
They originally wanted the Desire to launch in July, but now they’re being forced to push their plans back to August. It doesn’t help that we aren’t expecting this AMOLED shortage to be fully eradicated until sometime next year, but at least they’ve got short term goals to keep the lights on.
