Dom, 30 Aug 2012Well, well, so much for shortening the number of models in ... moreThe dual core processor and larger battery and the fact that they fit the better screen, RAM, processor and battery into roughly the same size.

                      After canceling ICS for Desire S I decided I will never again buy any HTC phone.

                      NEVER!!!

                        sadly i think that when htc say budget they mean about 350-400 euro at launch which is not exactly budget.

                          Desire c,desire v,one v and one s(asian version with s3 processor) all of them came with undeserving pricetags.so i don't set my hopes too high on this as far as pricing goes.

                              Well, well, so much for shortening the number of models in favor of higher quality line-up. What exactly, other than bigger screen and a bit more RAM makes this phone stand out in face of HTC ONE V?

                              Why not make a 4' phone with HD IPS screen like that in in Iphone, 32 GB ROM, 2GB RAM, 2000+ Battery, get rid of bulge in camera, and stick it into One X or One S unibody. Make it more thick, but increase battery size and add SD slot. Call it high-end and watch it sell. Who wants a bigger than 4' screen anyway for a daily phone?

Adreno 205 works like a gem in live walkman because of 480x320 res but xperia arc isnt as good due to high res screen straining the processor. Saying that all dual core adrenos are good so come on htc and price it right!

Best benchmark on nenamark 2 is 34 fps while adreno 205 is 42 fps! Adreno 200 doesnt even come close so adreno 203 should be an ok-ish chipset. Hope htc dont overprice it like they have with desire c!

                                        Wow dualcore, 4 inch screen with beats audio. Just not sure what colour to go for. This is the best mid range on the market by far, go HTC !!
