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 →

HTC Desire
The Desire is yet another fine piece of work from HTC – build quality is top notch as usual, and there's little to complain about the software except for the Flash performance. Some may argue that the Desire lacks freshness since the Nexus One's already shown it all, but we'd disagree – at the end of the day it's mainly about the software and service, plus the Desire is available from more carriers to begin with (outside the US, anyway).read more →

The most powerful Android phone ever - but is it the best?
In short, this is a phenomenal phone - one of the best we've ever had on TechRadar. Usually when we like a phone on the first use, we end up horribly disappointed after a little time with it, but the HTC Desire kept on performing and achieving when we thought it wouldn't.
The screen is lovely, the design is slick and processor makes everything happen in a flash - all you'd want from a smartphone.read more →
