        Apart From That The Battery Performance of HIS is almost same as the Old Desire. and the HDS battery runs almost for a day and half wid heavy to very heavy use.
        I think HDS is a good option of the two :-)

                    It seems to me the 5M camera quality is better than last generation HTC's 5M camera(legend). May be there is some improvement on the driver, the auto focus is quick and accurate. Noise level is high but acceptable. Colour wise is more natural.

                                        Having read some negative revieews on the Desire S thaught I would write a small review, my first one so bare with me. I got my Desire S on upgrade from a Desire. I went for an Experia Play first but after 48Hrs of force closes, unpredictable PS game controls and a poor screen in sunlight I went back to HTC.
                                        Well the Desire S in a nutshell a upgraded Desire (shocker) but in my opinion HTC have done an all round good job. They have taken a a great phone and tweaked it without going over the top.
                                        The single aluminum chasis is nice and tactile, they have removed the physical buttons for home, menu search and back these are now touch sensitive. I admit I was concerned I would miss the physical buttons but the touch ones work just fine.
                                        I have read some reviews that said the screen was worse than the Desire in Sunlight but I have found it is much improved, although it still isn't at the same level as an Iphone 4. It comes with 2.3 and this with the new processor makes this phone quick and response and the Sense UI is a slick as ever.
                                        HTC has included Location on the phone there own mapping software which works offline, integrates with google maps and has a nice sat-nav interface. I have used it for a couple of jounrneys and found it accurate, the GPS seems to fix quicker than the old Desire and the battery drain is less.
                                        The Battery issue which to be honest was pretty bad on the origonal Desire is much improved its a shame the charging point is now on the left side of the phone meaning my dock will now not work but I can live with that.
                                        Best of all is the nearly 1GB of internal memory now along with the SD card. No more having to juggle apps to free up space, and the ability to hot swap SD/SIM is useful

                                        All in all HTC have done a good job, taking a good phone and making it a whole lot better
