  • The HTC Desire S is certainly the best Android phone of its size you can buy today. The thing is, its sub-four inch display almost doesn’t do justice to the powerful hardware accompanying it....

  • The Desire S is a worthwhile improvement to the original, with the latest Android offering video calling, faster working and better keyboards. That may not be quite enough to justify an upgrade if you’re already using Desire père, but if you’re thinki...

  • A part of me wanted a little bit more. The original HTC Desire still stands up very well compared to this Desire S. This phone is better than the original Desire because of the additional camera, newer Android OS and better HTC Sense interface. I liked th...

  • Great interface, solid build quality, HTC Sense portal integration, reasonable battery life
  • Rear camera not the best, tad pricey for the specifications on offer
  • The Desire S builds on the strengths of its predecessor. The inclusion of Android 2.3 and the latest HTC Sense interface are the best features. However, a SIM-free price of £399 does seem a bit much, and it might be better to invest a little extra for ...

  • Great looking design, HTC Sense covers just about all bases, Android 2.3 is bang up to date, ultra connected experience out of the box
  • It feels a little samey and doesn't really advance the HTC story, and is outclassed by its older and bigger brother the Desire HD, finish started rubbing off on contact points, not the most striking screen around these days
  • The S in the Desire S should stand for “solid”, but in the fast-paced world of smartphones, it’s no longer the market leader it once wasKey specs3.5mm jack, 3G, 5 megapixels, Android, Bluetooth, FM radio, GPRS, GPS, GSM, HSDPA, Li-ion battery, microSD,...

  • Fantastic unibody design; HTC's Sense user interface keeps getting better; smooth performance
  • Some of the specs are outdated; no HDMI output
  • The HTC Desire S isn't the most powerful Android smart phone on the block, but it offers a terrific design and intuitive software. Overall, it's a seriously appealing device....

  • The Desire S is another feather in the cap for HTC. A really nice looking device that's easy to use and works like a charm. The Desire S will please most looking for a high-end smartphone, but those after a bit more internal storage might want to look...
