I just thought I would give my own honest opinion on this phone.

Its probably the best phone I have ever had in terms of functions and screen quality. This phone has every extra you could ever think of and more.


I just wish HTC had not used such a poor budget speaker as it really is shocking poor.

My other couple of issues are the video qulaity, although they claim WVGA, its not the best quality and when you autofocus on something it locks onto that subject constant making anything else blurr if moving away.

Also the quality of the microphone for recording videos is probably the worst I have ever experienced on a mobile phone and this really lets this phone down bit time, extremely cheap sounding.

My last issue is and probably my main problem is when your on a phone call the other party can hear you loud and clear but at my end there is a constant hissing noise and its not a faulty speaker because if you plug in headphones its still identical.

These are not just one off faults as I am now on my 4th Desire.

    Udate: It is now 410 euro in Holland. Look at www.bestelmaar.nl But I think this cheaper in The far east like China or Indonesia? Am I right?

        Im getting this phone in a weeks time, but i need to know if it will definitely be getting 720 recording and divx support. Also will this be able to upgrade to android 2.2 firmware because I heard htc did not give any support to htc hero I think it was.

Now it seems that another Chinese company has taken the time and effort to come up with the APad, another iPad clone. It’s priced at $210, which is less than half the price of the iPad, which could become a deal for those who are on a tight budget. Specifications of the APad include: see it at www.blingblingtronics.com
              • Dual-core Rockchip processor
              • 2GB-32GB flash memory
              • 128MB of RAM
              • Memory card slot for up to 16GB of storage space
              • 7-inch 800 x 400 touchscreen display

                I`ve been using this phone for a week and it`s greate. Only , the phone memory is to small and you cant install very much applications. Hope the Android 2.2 solve this inconvenient. Rest is the best

                                  SIMON from edmonto, 15 May 2010Can anyone tell me if the HTC Desire has a Scratch-resistan... moreHi, well it depends what do you do with it. If you are surfing the net or you are playing I don;t think you can find anytghing that will last you more than 6 hours. But if you don't then disable wi-fi, lower the brightness. I'm sure that you will find posts here that tell you how to make your battery last for a day and a half. This again if you don't use it for surfing or playing. In that case you should get a truck battery :P
