If you are in the market for the Android packing HTC Desire S in the United Kingdom you can of course pick up the smartphone of contract, but if you prefer the Pay As You Go route with your mobile phones apparently O2 are offering the HTC desire S on PAYG for a reasonable price.

According to an article over on Eurodroid, and by way of Hot UK Deals, O2 UK is offering the HTC Desire S handset at a reasonably low price of £329.99 on Pay As You Go.

Of course if you opt to go with O2 on pay as you go for your HTC Desire S the Android device will naturally be locked to OS, but apparently it isn’t that difficult to get an O2 UK device unlocked as apparently all one needs to do is email O2 and they will give you the unlock code.

However if you prefer going the contract route, then the Android 2.3 Gingerbread HTC Desire S from O2 UK can be gained for as little as 149 quid with a monthly tariff of £16.50 although the user will also incur a charge of somewhere between £3 and £10 for monthly data allowance.

So any of our UK readers thinking about snapping up the HTC Desire S from O2 UK either on contract or on pay as you go?
