Abstract: The HTC Desire really caught us off-guard. If I'm honest the HTC Legend looked to be the better handset when we first saw them both. It was the design of the Legend that won us over, but the sales of the Desire seem to have proved otherwise. This is t...

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
