;DETLIKE; HTC Desire Graphite - why we like it

  • Huge AMOLED touchscreen
  • Great social networking
  • Awarded Phone of the Year 2010
;DETOVER;

The 3 HTC Desire is one of the most popular smartphones currently available. Building on the huge success of HTC's previous Android touchscreen devices, the Desire mixes incredible processing power with top-notch customisation to create one of the most feature-rich and personal mobile experiences in the world.

The HTC Desire, otherwise known as the Bravo, packs a lot under the hood but is still slim and pocket-friendly. Its curved chassis sits wonderfully in the hand, and its sleek, minimalist design gives it a stylish and professional appearance. The huge 3.7 inch capacitive OLED display is vibrant and colourful, and is perfect for watching videos and browsing the web.

The HTC Desire is also one of the most personal smartphones around. The latest Sense user-interface lets you play with up to seven different home screens - all customisable with widgets, icons and apps. The Android 2.1 operating system now offers live wallpapers, which will react to sounds, your touch and even the time of day. Pinch the screen using multi-touch technology, and you can see all seven home screens, giving you lightning-fast navigation to all your apps and features.

If you're into social networking, you're going to love the contact system on the HTC Desire. Pulling updated information from Google, Facebook, Twitter and more, the Desire combines all your social networks to provide you with comprehensive profiles for all your friends, and lets you keep up to date with social networks more easily and more efficiently than ever. Messaging on the HTC Desire is also incredible: the touchscreen keyboard is complimented by one of the most advanced predictive text messaging systems in the world. The large screen gives unparalleled accuracy and strings conversations together for a great mobile messaging experience.

The Three HTC Desire is an incredibly powerful device - especially considering its compact form. It sports a vibrant and sensitive touchscreen display, and the user-interface allows almost limitless customisation. If you're looking for advanced smartphone technology, then this may well be the phone for you.

I've had the HTC Desire for three days now. I was pretty torn between an iphone 4 and this but with the recent iphone issues and the fact that I am not a mac owner I plumped for the HTC. It is incredible. I had an issue initially where I couldn't download anything from the app store. I did a hard reset (instructions in the manual) and then everything worked fine. The google search by voice app is fantastic. The screen is a delight and I have even got the hang of touch screen texting. If you are considering a smartphone then give the iphone a miss and pick up a desire, You won't regret it. It integrates the social networking feeds into one page so you can keep up with your mates. There is a huge selection of free and paid for apps but I have filled my phone with useful, quality apps and haven't paid a penny. Android OS Froyo will be out soon (any day now) and then the desire will support bbc iplayer which is currently the only thing missing for me. I love this phone and my wife's is already on order!
