HTC Desire is the next big thing that has a more powerful processor and a larger screen, making it potentially more convenient for business users who find themselves loaded with tons of email every day, as well as techie who prefer anything other than iPhone.
HTC Desire uses a 1GHz processor, probably the fastest in the market right now, and the more powerful processor means the device is better able to run applications faster. This means not only working more quickly within individual apps, but also running multiple applications at the same time with faster speed. While I was testing the Desire, this is the first time that I did not experience any momentary wait or lag as what some would describe, like previous HTC models (you know, those hour glass rotating figure?).
Next, is the screen, one of the plus points for Desire, at 3.7 inch, this is definitely one of the largest on any smartphone around. Pixel wise, with 480 x 800 display and sporting with AMOLED technology, making it very pin-sharp and bright lit in all situation. This would come handy when you carry out multi tasks like reading emails, browsing the web, etc.
The HTC Desire runs Android 2.1 and has the latest version of HTC’s Sense user interface sitting on top. This gives you a very user-friendly touch screen system. Another plus point is the Leap feature, when you pinch-zoom on the main screen, it’ll automatically roll out the rest of the other seven screens in thumbnails, giving you the chance to choose which screen you want, rather than tap-scrolling with your fingers, and that’s something iPhone does not comes with, unless you paid for the apps…..besides, within the iPhone there’s G-Sensor, so when you turn it in your hand, the screen will rotate, giving you convenience in viewing the web pages in wide format…..yeah!
Each of the seven screens can be populated with widgets, which include shortcuts to applications, individual contacts, web bookmarks and folders. It would be easy to have entirely separate screens for work and leisure related activities.
Another interesting feature is the HTC own Twitter application called Peep, which includes FriendStream, that brings together most common social applications like Facebook, Twitter and Flicker. Besides, Desire also brings together contact details from Google, Outlook as well as Flickr in one place, so you don’t need to search high and low for various contacts anymore…cool.
Other standard Android features such as GPS, Wi-Fi and HSPA are all included, and of course, Google Maps.
Call quality was fantastic, we had no problem making calls & reeceiving them, and decent battery life too. Texting was wonderful, works exactly like the way you want it as with most touch screen smartphone.
