The editors didn't like
Screen very clearly not up to the same standards
Poor battery life if you use everything
Keyboard could be more accurate
Headphone jack in the wrong place
Finish on battery and SIM slots
Huge and heavy
Not as easy to use as some of its competitors
There are higher resolution screens out there
Poor battery life
No OLED screen
Suspect build quality
Video player needs overhauling
HTCSense.com connectivity still has bugs
Battery life
Slightly crashy
XL size. Screen deserves to be higher resolution. No dedicated camera shutter button or lens cover
Fragile back cover
Video recording not the best
Video calling has been omitted
And it's possible to open only four web pages at one time
8meg camera could be a little better
Too large for many people to use onehanded
Battery life likely to be around a day for many users
Awkward headphone jack location
The level of customisation can be overwhelming
The typical 800 x 480 pixel resolution display doesn't quite earn its HD tag

Average battery life, Very big, Lack of HDMI output
Thanks to its large screen, watching video is that much more enjoyable than on smaller devices, though as we said earlier, it's not that much better that we think the extra bulk is worth it. Format support seems to be par for the course with most of the f...

The HTC Desire HD is easily one of the best Android smartphones currently available. It has a great camera and offers the best hardware among all Android phones. I would definitely recommend it. If you want a cheaper alternative, you could go fo...
Great performance, Solid Browser, Good Build quality with Aluminum Unibdy, Huge Screen,
Poor Battery Life, Unprotected Camera Lens, Strange Battery Panel Construction means few/no 3rd Party Extended Batteries
So what do we make of the HTC Desire HD? Well… it has pretty bad battery life, and the design could have been better.But it brings a whole lot of goodness to the table, with a very polished Sense UI on top of Froyo, with an update to gingerbread comin...
