The HTC Desire | Motorola Droid

First and foremost, the HTC Desire is great for making calls and sending messages; calls sound clear in a variety of situations, and the on-screen keyboard has been set out in such a way that typing out messages is quick and easy. As for the internal hardware, it packs in a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and 576MB of RAM, which puts it right at the top of the pile in terms of processing power. In general, HTC has got the basics spot on with their latest release, and have clearly built on their well received earlier handsets. The HTC Desire’s user interface offers a mixture of usability and style that sets it apart from the competition. It features seven customizable homescreens, to which you can apply a wide range of widgets and shortcuts. Out of the box, you will find a good selection of apps and web shortcuts to play with, representing the corporations behind the release, and any service or tool not on the phone when you receive can be found on the Android Market to download. All of the media features on the HTC Desire are better than average, but a couple could have done with being a little bit better. The camera is a 5 megapixel one, but the quality of the pictures it takes is not as good as similar priced smartphones, and the media player, whilst working fine, does not support as many different types of files as the ones used by competitors. On the plus side, browsing the web is a really nice experience. The screen is clear and crisp, pages render correctly and load quickly, and scrolling through long pages is smooth and fluid. HTC have paid particular attention to what business users want from a smartphone, and it would be hard to argue against the HTC Desire being the best business smartphone on the market. Support for Microsoft Exchange is provided, so managing your contacts and emails is no problem at all, and it comes with Quickoffice pre-installed, which allows you to view and edit Microsoft Office documents. Features such as those, along with a professional design, are what have made it the first choice smartphone for businessmen and businesswomen.
