  • Pluses, Classy, elegant and relatively compact given the large screen, Powerful enough to not slow down, Android 2.1 and Sense work wonderfully together, Extra resolution makes surfing and watching videos great
  • Minuses, This phone deserves so much better than the mediocre handsfree kit, Still no support for Flash

  • Abstract:  The HTC Desire really caught us off-guard. If I'm honest the HTC Legend looked to be the better handset when we first saw them both. It was the design of the Legend that won us over, but the sales of the Desire seem to have proved otherwise. This is t...

  • The HTC Desire is a terrific smart phone that improves on the already high standard of the Legend with its bigger screen and increased processing power. It has to sit above its near-twin the Google Nexus One too, and does so thanks to the Sense inter...

  • Abstract:  The HTC Desire comes hot on the heels of the HTC Legend. The two are quite different in specs and in price, with the Desire at the higher end on both counts. Yes, the pair share a lot of characteristics, but there is no denying that the HTC Desire is ...

  • 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
  • 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

  • Large and responsive AMOLED screen, Android 2.1 plus HTC Sense, Microsoft Exchange support
  • Disappointing battery life, Screen can be hard to see in bright sunlight, Could be difficult to use onehanded
  • HTC's Desire is larger and more expensive than its Legend sibling, adding a faster processor, more memory and a larger screen. If you value these features, then the Desire is worth the outlay. If you don't need the extras, then the Legend is an excelle
