Desire HD Price Drop ? What phone are we talking about here. To refresh your memory, go back a few years when HTC was ruling the android market. To the time when HTC Desire was a phenomenal success. Desire HD is the update to the original Desire.
Now, Why the price drop ?
It was on expected lines though, we didn't know which phones were going to get the price cut after MWC-2012 where the world witnessed the launch of the quad core phones. HTC launched its flagship device, the HTC One X, a quad core phone with Nvidia Tegra 3.
Have a look at the spec sheet of Desire HD

Why you Should Consider ?
One of the best deals at the current time. 4.3 inch screen and 8mp camera are strong points to consider. Also, HTC has promised ICS update for the device.
Things to think over
This is quite an old handset, launched in September 2010. Biggest drawback is the absence of a front facing camera. Battery life of other phones has got better the last few years and will only get better (You can still get an extended battery, but nobody would want to spend extra for a new phone). You don't get the latest improvements in Camera or the new Beats Audio.
Summary
This is a great deal indeed. But the question is what other phones are getting a price slash ? If so, how long do we wait for it.
And by the way, the new price is 18,990. Available at saholic.com.
