HTC Desire review: A desire come true

16 April 2010
If you’ve seen the Google Nexus One, you’ve seen the HTC Desire. End of story. We liked the Nexus One so be our guest, HTC Desire. But is it all that simple? HTC are so good they build phones for the competition. HTC are so mean they have no issues competing...

    htc desire only problem it has is memory shortage and camera stinkks. htc desire rocks in all other aspects touchscreen better than x10 but not iphone. hd2 touch screen is better and phone rocks the only competitor to galaxy and iphone. by the way galaxy is superb......

          u24me, 17 Apr 2010well a good and longer game with some story/levels can take... moreThanks for that. There I was thinking the internal memory was just enough!

          I really like the HTC Sense UI though, do you think it's worth getting the limited memory just for that UI? Or is it better to go for the Sony Ericsson X10?

                          it is a great phone but there are limitations:

                          the battery life
                          the limited internal storage
                          the brown lookin body ( i prefered a black one)
                          and maybe the camera

                          however, if the internal memory limitation is bypass i have no reason not to get one

                            Galaxy S is better than Desire, i think.

                              Does anyone know how to root the device and install apps on the storage card?you only loose your warranty if you root your device right? are there any other problems beside that?

                                    This review is awesome. Excellent. But the sad thing is HTC will lose lots of its sales. Anyway, a good thing for HTC to think out of the box before they design a new phone.

                                    Otherwise, these phone manufactures just wanna squeeze the money out of the customers. Like Apple, Like HTC and SE too.
