HTC Desire review: A desire come true

The Google Nexus One was given the grace of a market head start but its no longer standing lonely at the top. And even if it looks like a brotherly reunion, the HTC Desire is in fact a formidable rival. Thats between HTC and Google though. Users have hardly reasons to complain.



As to the differences, the HTC Desire seems to get the upper hand but its not just quite as capable as promised.read more →
  • Quad-band GSM and dual-band 3G support
  • 7.2 Mbps HSDPA and 2 Mbps HSUPA
  • 3.7" 16M-color capacitive AMOLED touchscreen of WVGA resolution (480x 800 pixel)
  • Android OS v2.1 with kinetic scrolling and pinch zooming
  • Slim profile and great build quality
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 1 GHz processor
  • Disappointing video quality
  • Limited storage available to the user on the system partition (you are left with only 120 MB for installing apps)
  • No DivX and XviD video playback
  • No voice dialing
  • Non hot-swappable memory card
