HTC Sense hasn't really evolved as much as we'd have liked over the past year
The HTC Desire is the best Android phone that you can buy right now, and it closely rivals (and sometimes beats) the iPhone and HD2 in terms of web browsing fidelity, performance, and more. It has a perfect interplay between hardware and software: the...

Let's get back to what we said at the beginning. We started the review with:„The important thing is the HTC Desire, the most powerful Android cell phone of the manufacturer to date has finally arrived and we got our hands on it.”We went on to say:„The ...

Great HTC Sense UI, super fast Snapdragon processor, large AMOLED screen
No music player equalizer, no hardware send/end call keys
Overall, the HTC Desire thoroughly impressed us. After recently reviewing the Windows Mobile-powered HTC HD2, we'd been crying out for a HTC handset with a Snapdragon processor that runs the Android operating system. Now it's here, and just as good as...

The Desire is yet another fine piece of work from HTC – build quality is top notch as usual, and there's little to complain about the software except for the Flash performance. Some may argue that the Desire lacks freshness since the Nexus One's already s...

Abstract: As you’ll see from this HTC Desire review, I’m quite a fan of HTC’s latest super phone – and for good reason. HTC have raised the bar yet again with another stand-out smartphone. If you choose the Desire, you’ll be buying one of the most advanced smar...
Drawing it all to a close, I love the Telstra HTC Desire, I honestly do. I really thought I wasn’t going to like it because of it’s AMOLED display, but it’s grown on me. I find all the Telstra “Applications” completely useless and annoying, which is on...
