Sound is a little reined-in
Screen's great
But can be bettered
A bit large and boxy
Not quite as snazzy as an HTC One M8
Slightly short battery life
Poor performance using Bluetooth A2DP
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
Bluetooth battery stutters
Battery life suspect out the box
Can't delete whole inboxes in POP3 messaging
Minuses
This phone deserves so much better than the mediocre handsfree kit
Still no support for Flash

Less useful if you don't use social networking sites
Marketplace lacks a large volume of quality apps.
Battery life is still poor
Disappointing battery life
Screen can be hard to see in bright sunlight
Could be difficult to use onehanded

Will be too big for some
