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

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

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
Sure the Desire HD has been out in the wild since last October, but that doesn't mean this beast has aged. Its quite the opposite in fact, and in a world which looks set to be dominated by devices running multiple cores, the Desire HD manages to hold out ...
Abstract: HTC announced the launch of its Desire HD smartphone in September 2010. HTC thought that with its release, it had brought the ‘smartest' phone in the market, and the “smartest phone” tag was theirs to keep. With 1.5GB of internal memory, 768MB RAM, 1 GHz ...
Abstract: This is no ordinary HTC Desire HD review! You know those long-term car reviews, where a car is reviewed only after it’s been used daily for a number of months? Well that’s what this Desire HD review is like (only with a phone, not a car!) I fir...
Abstract: Mitchell Back in early 2010 I reviewed the HTC Desire, and I liked it a lot. I liked it so much that I actually bought one the day that it was launched here (which lined up well with the day the review unit went back). Unfortunately the love affair e...
The Desire HD is a great Android smartphone, probably one of the best we have tested to date. The HTC Sense UI makes it a pleasure to use, and everything seems to work well and flow together.It is definitely well built, and feels like a quality smartph...
Responsive touch-screen, excellent social networking integration and a huge 4.3-inch HD display are just some of the things great about the HTC Desire HD....
Only four webpages can be opened at any one time and there’ s no video call facility.Look and Feel...
HTC shows why it is the daddy when it comes to Android phones, with debatably the best orchestrated offering yet. ...

Huge screen, great web browser, superb video playback experience
Large form factor, subpar battery life, disappointing camera
The HTC Desire HD is one of two new high-end Android handsets from HTC, and provides an upgraded feature set over the original Desire, with a focus on multimedia. It is packed with new features such as an upgraded 8 megapixel autofocus camera, a large...
The connection quality for Desire HD is on par with modern day standards. During 2 weeks of testing I never lost the connection, which happened several times on HTC Desire (users of the model will understand what I mean). The volume is average, but if...
If we had to choose, we want a 4.3” Super AMOLED screen on an aluminum unibody handset, that is as thin as the Galaxy S, and carries the new HTC Sense UI on it. Any of the two chipsets will do. Just kidding, but it might happen next year. However, out...
HTC Desire HD is the new flagship of the company. Its main advantages are an 8 megapixel camera, large screen, excellent performance and high quality materials, the best interface for Android. A good top-end smartphone with a high, but in this case ju...
