HTC Sense hasn't really evolved as much as we'd have liked over the past year
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...
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 ...
There’s just not much wrong with the HTC Desire. Like most feature-heavy smartphones, battery life was something of an issue but there’s always the option to turn the 3G off to save battery and cut down on widgets.We fell completely in love with the De...
Gorgeous screen, Slim chassis, Fast processor, Good quality 5MP camera, Speedy internet browser, Flash video support
Bluetooth battery stutters, Battery life suspect out the box, Can't delete whole inboxes in POP3 messaging
A step up from the handsets it's replacing the HTC Desire C is a decent budget-handset, although you may want to look elsewhere if you want more bang for your buck...
Lovely design and build, brilliant display, excellent web browser, superb integration with social networking services, Sense UI is fantastic
Phone heats up when in use, display is a fingerprint magnet, using optical trackpad to click pictures is inconvenient, camera has trouble focusing on smaller objects, poor FM radio reception, unimpressive battery life
The HTC Desire is priced at Rs. 26,000. Overall it is an excellent device. It looks and feels great, the display is brilliant and I loved the browser and the general speed of the interface. None of the flaws with the device are deal breakers. The batt...
Well designed, comfortable to use, Decent audio quality, Photo/Video capture is quite good, OTA to Froyo available
Battery life should have been better, Handset tends to heat up a bit during prolonged usage
ConnectivityThe Desire is well equipped for connectivity and thanks to Froyo one more addition was provided - 3G sharing via Wi-Fi so your handset becomes a Wi-Fi hot-spot for your laptop or any other device. Bluetooth with A2DP and USB 2.0 are part of...
