The HTC Desire is one of the best smart phones in the current market place. Boasting features like the 1GHz processor, and the beautiful 3.7 inch AMOLED display.
Accessing the internet is a wonderful experience, the ultra-quick Google web browser allows you to zoom in with a pinch, and get close ups on photos with a simple double tap on the screen. The HTC Desire also allows you to view Flash videos which is something that is not available on the iPhone.
The 3.7 inch display provides crisp quality to movies and photos, the HTC Desire screen does become difficult to see in sunlight. The Integrated 5 Megapixel camera allows you to capture really high quality phones from your mobile phone. Its really easy to use also, just point and shoot.
The Android Market place give you access to over 68,000 apps so you can personalise your phone. Some of our favourite apps:
+ Google Sky Map – the phone will tell you the name of the stars, simply point the phone to the sky.
+ Google Shopper – Helps you find out how much cheaper you can buy a product.
+ MyPlayer – Catch up on your favourite BBC programs from your phone.
+ GPS Alarm – If you’ve ever fallen asleep on a train, this app will make sure it doesn’t happen again.
+ Twitter – Quick way to update your twitter while on the move.
The HTC Desire is a very good phone, not quite as good looking as the iPhone, but still a very good phone. Hopefully a new battery or update will be released to resolve the low battery life. It is recommended to charge the battery every night.
