HTC has been manufacturing smartphones for a number of years now, but it wasn't until they switched to building them based on the Android operating system, that they started to see the success that has made them one of the big names in the market. Having created the Legend and Google's Nexus One, HTC have now launched the HTC Desire. But what makes it better than the Legend, and as good as the Nexus One? On the face of it, there doesn't appear to be much difference between the Nexus One and the Desire. The Desire has a quality feel to it, even it it doesn't benefit from the same unibody construction as the Nexus One. The touchscreen is a decent size and looks good, especially when you notice that it has both the traditional clickable buttons, as well as the additional ones located on the touchscreen. The optical trackball adds an air of sophistication without looking too delicate. The Desire is pretty impressive on the inside too. Underneath the 3.7 inch AMOLED screen there's a fast Snapdragon processor to make dealing with all the different apps and functions a fast and painless experience. HTC have also increased the RAM to 512MB just to make sure there's enough memory to match the processing power. The HTC Desire has excellent still and video capture capabilities, thanks to the 5 megapixel camera that comes with autofocus and an LED flash. Video recording might not be in full 720p hi definition, but it is a higher resolution than the Legend and the Nexus One. The Desire also captures photographs in the wider 5:3 format, which means you get a lot more out of your camera phone photography than you do with a lot of other smartphones. Since abandoning Windows Mobile on most of its smartphones, HTC has forged ahead with Android, and the Desire demonstrates even further development with HTC's Sense user interface. Overlaying the Android platform Sense works well and lets users easily and smoothly navigate around the phone. Recent additions to the Sense user interface have included the social network aggregator Friendstream, as well as the home screen manager Leap, and these only help to strengthen the case for the HTC Desire being a smartphone that people love to use. With good looks, great technology and simple and enjoyable usability, there isn't much you won't like about the HTC Desire. A step up from the Legend, and more than a match for the Nexus One, the Desire can also take on any of the other smartphones in the market. |
