  • A powerful device whose large screen is particularly well suited to media rich activities. HTC’s Sense user interface adds extra pizzazz to Android, and the operating system is fast becoming very business-relevant while still retaining a lot of consume...

  • The HTC Desire is a terrific smart phone that improves on the already high standard of the Legend with its bigger screen and increased processing power. It has to sit above its near-twin the Google Nexus One too, and does so thanks to the Sense inter...

  • Abstract:  The HTC Desire comes hot on the heels of the HTC Legend. The two are quite different in specs and in price, with the Desire at the higher end on both counts. Yes, the pair share a lot of characteristics, but there is no denying that the HTC Desire is ...

  • Fast processor, Upgraded Sense UI, Large OLED screen, Integrated social networking, Great on screen keyboard
  • Slightly short battery life, Poor performance using Bluetooth A2DP
  • An early, and very strong contender for phone of the year from HTC. Apple has finally been overtaken - now let's see what Jobs has in his locker.

  • The HTC Desire’s super-speedy Snapdragon 1GHz processor makes flying around Android 2.1 lightning fast, while the latest edition of HTC Sense – HTC’s own Android user interface – is as pretty as ever. You don’t have to spend hours searching the Android Market for pretty widgets to customise your home screen, because great versions of most of the ones you’ll want are already included. Social netwo
  • Android handsets aren't known for their cameras. The Desire's h5-megapixel cam comes with an LED flash, digital zoom and autofocus. It can compete with the best Android cameras seen so far, but not with the top cameraphones on the market. The SIM and microSD slots are blocked by the battery, which is kept behind the full-length plastic battery cover. This makes hot swapping of memory cards imposs

  • Large and responsive AMOLED screen, Android 2.1 plus HTC Sense, Microsoft Exchange support
  • Disappointing battery life, Screen can be hard to see in bright sunlight, Could be difficult to use onehanded
  • HTC's Desire is larger and more expensive than its Legend sibling, adding a faster processor, more memory and a larger screen. If you value these features, then the Desire is worth the outlay. If you don't need the extras, then the Legend is an excelle

  • I ended my Nexus One review by saying that I wont be giving up my iPhone in preference. The HTC Desire is much closer to stealing me away from the clutches of Apple. As I've mentioned in the past the appeal of the iPhone is in no small part down to how...

  • Great web-browsing experience, HTC Sense, glorious AMOLED screen, solid build quality
  • Battery life, will be too big for some, unexpected browser closing (likely a software issue), widgets still take too long to refresh
  • We're certain that the HTC Desire will be a huge hit in 2010. Aside from a few minor points, there is little fault with this superphoneKey specs3.5mm jack, 3G, 5 megapixels, AMOLED, Android, Bluetooth, FM radio, GPRS, GPS, GSM, HSDPA, Li-ion battery...

  • Fast Web browser, with Flash support; integrates your contacts across social networks; HTC Sense user interface makes Android better-looking and adds handy features; big, high-res touchscreen; great virtual keyboard
  • Some home-screen widgets need polishing; Android is still somewhat geeky; short battery life; AMOLED screen is hard to see in sunlight
  • HTC has packed every feature under the sun into the Desire, along with a slick user interface and plenty of processing power. Although not as sexy as the HTC Legend or as polished as the iPhone, the Desire is a smart phone that inspires lust ...
