HTC Gratia, the European Aria, delayed, still coming soon

29 November, 2010

The HTC Gratia was expected to hit the stores across Europe some time in November 2010 but even today, a few hours before November's end, we're still waiting for Gratia's market launch. However, according to HTC the phone is coming. Soon.

First came the HTC Aria and then we welcomed the HTC Gratia. And while the Eclair-powered Aria has been selling around the globe for a while, its European version, the Froyo-based Gratia, hasn't quite made it to all stores throughout Europe yet.

Concerning the UK availability, the guys over at Unwired View contacted HTC and asked when we can expect the Gratia to become available and here's what HTC answered:

"In regards to the HTC Gratia,

Yes, this device is due to be released in the United Kingdom soon. We do not have exact dates as of yet, this is to be confirmed."

So, the company is mum on the reasons for the delayed launch but the Gratia is coming this holiday season for sure - it's already available at some places.
