HTC Desire review: A desire come true
As to the differences, the HTC Desire seems to get the upper hand but its not just quite as capable as promised. DivX support and 720p video recording didnt make it on time, although theres word of including them in a future update. The HTC Desire comes with the companys proprietary Sense UI on top of the E'clair and Flash support in the web browser. We do prefer the hardware buttons to the Nexus Ones capacitive controls but the trackpad doesnt quite cut it. Wed take the trackball any day.
