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
Screen is ideal for movies on the go, Keyboard input offers one of the best touch experiences, Dolby Mobile / SRS provide great sound variation, HTC Sense offers fantastic functionality out of the box
Poor battery life, Occasional lag when multitasking, Fiddly battery / card covers
The HTC Desire HD is more of an exciting phone than it is a perfect phone. We're as excited about how HTC are evolving Sense UI, as we are about the hardware. As it happens though, the hardware and software are married into a wonderful mix, so well don...

Poorly fitting compartment covers, Small battery capacity, Screen is very reflective, Conclusion, The Desire HD is a beautiful phone with respectable performance and speed. As long as you can charge up the battery in the middle of the day, you won't be d
The Desire HD is a beautiful phone with respectable performance and speed. As long as you can charge up the battery in the middle of the day, you won’t be disappointed with this large-screen handset. Rating: 4 out of 5 Tweet Other posts tagged with: H...
There doesn't seem to be any arguing against it - the HTC Desire HD is a solid smartphone for non-US markets and is, essentially, exactly what HTC needed to keep up their rapid growth rate. Couple that with the soon-to-be-released Desire Z, which adds ...
Terrific general performanceFlawless browserAluminum unibody plus jumbo screen
Fit and finish issuesPoor battery lifeCamera lens left unprotected
So what to make of the Desire HD? It's undeniably hampered by some design flaws and poor battery life, but the sheer volume of good things it brings to the table can't be ignored. Froyo is the most polished and accomplished version of Android by a good ma...

The HTC Desire HD is an Android smartphone equipped with a 4.3-inch touchscreen, attractive aluminium casing, and the latest 2.2 "Froyo" version of Google's Android OS. It runs neck and neck with the Samsung Galaxy S, so expect it to fly off the shelv...
There is no doubt that the HTC Desire HD is about to face some stiff competition in the Australian market for smartphones. The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, the Motorola Atrix and the Samsung Galaxy S II are all expected to hit Australia shortly, and Apple's...
Abstract: With the Desire HD on its short voyage back to , I thought I would just write a quick follow-up post to the review to share my final views on the device. Certainly after using it for over a week you do get used to some aspects of the phone, but not oth...
I’m personally a big fan of larger screened devices that are also powerhouses, and that is exactly what the Desire HD is. It’s big and it has a shed-load of power to get you through anything you want to do on it. If you own a Desire, Nexus One or Sam...
Abstract: I could barely conceal my admiration for the and when the Desire HD was in September, I practically begged the company's local reps for a review unit. The Desire, in my view, was superior to Apple's iPhone 3GS and I had high hopes for the being a...
