The HTC Desire is an Android mobile phone. Android mobile phone technology was developed by Android Inc. and Google. It allows for users to create their own applications through open source technology.
The HTC Desire is 4.69 by 2.36 by 0.47 inches, and weighs 4.76 ounces. Its main display screen has 480 x 800 pixels and is 3.70 inches. The camera has 5 megapixels resolution, and incorporates flash, LED, auto focus, face detection technology and geo tagging. The HTC Desire’s software is Android 2.1, with up to 576 RAM / 512 ROM in memory. It has HTML internet access, microUSB technology, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Email and GPS services come as standard.
Plus points in the HTC Desire’s favour are its very fast processing speed and the relatively large size of the touch-screen. Internet browsing is among the fastest achieved on any mobile phone. The touch-screen can handle seven home screens at the same time, with the ‘Leap thumbnail’ mode allowing for switching effortlessly between them. The mobile phone looks good and feels great to handle.
The sheer speed of the mobile phone leads to a minus point: switching between screens can lead to fast errors, with the touch-screen prone to being overly responsive. The battery can run out very quickly as well, although this is a common issue in smartphones generally.
HTC Desire deals are still widely on offer, with mostly contract deals on offer from T-Mobile, Orange, 3, Vodafone, O2, Virgin Mobile and Talk Mobile.
