Orange has snagged an exclusivity deal with HTC to be the sole provider for the Touch HD until 2009 in the UK. That means if you’re a UK reader and you want the Touch HD before the holidays, you’ll have to get one either unlocked from HTC or through Orange. The device will begin shipping in November of this year from £79.99 on an 18 month, £40 per month contract according to MSMobileNews.
