The HTC Desire’s super-speedy Snapdragon 1GHz processor makes flying around Android 2.1 lightning fast
While the latest edition of HTC Sense – HTC’s own Android user interface – is as pretty as ever. You don’t have to spend hours searching the Android Market for pretty widgets to customise your home screen
Because great versions of most of the ones you’ll want are already included. Social netwo

Rating
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
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
For HTC Desire
Large
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
Battery life
Will be too big for some
Unexpected browser closing (likely a software issue)

Large WVGA 3.7-inch display; sleek form factor; HTC Sense software improves default Android UI; good integration of social-networking services; responsive, thanks to the 1GHz Snapdragon processor and 576MB RAM.
Screen dim in direct sunlight; colors of photos shot indoors appear dull; one-day battery life; microSDHC card slot blocked by battery.

Nice screen; decent camera; Sense user interface; uses latest Android OS.
Pricey.
There is a lot to like about the HTC Desire. It has handy widgets, the Sense user interface is fun to use, and the smartphone runs on the latest Android 2.2 which has a lot of nifty new functions. On the downside, the design is a little bland and the ...
