The HTC One launched earlier this year to some fanfare, but since then, delays have plagued the handset.

Finally, there's an actual date for the arrival of the HTC One in Australia, with Virgin Australia telling CNET Australia that the phone will be available in stores from 23 April. Virgin will be taking pre-orders for the One from 5 April.

The One will be available for AU$3 per month on the $59 a month plan. Total cost over 24 months will be $1488, and will include AU$700 of call credit, 3GB of data and unlimited mobile calls and text to other Virgin customers each month.

You can go to Virgin Mobile's website for registering pre-orders, as well as more information about additional plan options. At the time of writing, however, this was still a "coming soon" page, presumably to be launched in full on 5 April.

Virgin is also taking pre-orders for the Nokia Lumia 720, starting from $0 in repayments on the AU$29 a month plan.
