I bought this as an unlocked but previously unused phone and saved a lot of money in doing so. I popped in my sim card, set it all up and the phone has worked great ever since. Before purchasing the phone, I did research. I wanted a phone that gave me easy access to my social networks; Facebook and Twitter. Also my friend had a Desire S at the time and I really liked the interface. The only bad things about it are the fact there is no card slot on the outside of the phone; you have to take the back off it to access the memory card and apparently the wifi isn't as strong if you have your hand over the back of the phone while you're using the wifi. The phone has a sturdy case, made of aluminum and a "Gorilla Glass" screen. It's very easy to use with all the normal android functions such as pinch zooming and good space to download apps. It comes with an 8gb memory card inside. You can customise the home screen and the six other screens so you have all the things you need close at hand. It would be more useful if there was a camera button on the side of the phone but you can put a shortcut on the home screen to access the camera fast when you need it. It runs well when several apps are running and doesn't slow down. You can also force close apps as well if you have a lot running. You can download themes from the HTC site, accessable from the phone and it comes with a variety of ringtones though of course you can add your own and make it personal. It's a very customisable phone. You can even buy cases for it to cover the back. I have a brushed aluminum purple case. The camera on it is decent, both for taking pictures and recording videos and it has a flash. You can take photos of yourself with it though the flash won't work on those due to its position on the phone. The photos come out better when the flash is used. You can watch YouTube videos on it and games run smoothly.Read full review
I bought this phone as a back up to my samsung s2. I found it good looking and smart and the size just right. However i found it a tag too heavy but you could get used to that!. find it quite easy to use and enough data for my use.But i have found it difficult to get on to my email and need to see a technition to help me as i cant get on to GMail!I dont know why not.Nevertheless i will get there-haha! Over all i like the phone. touch screen very good and also the key pad simple and all quick.
This is a very nice smartphone and much better than new phones around 150€. The 1 GHz processor still handles very well the tasks given to it and it has a nice screen resolution (480x800). As downsides, the battery life sucks. Using it to play games or surfing the internet makes the battery disappear in no time. The 5MP camera also feels a bit cheap. Nevertheless, this is a great value for money smartphone.
I was trying to find a phone for little sister as she wanted to upgrade from Samsung Android phone which she said was the worst phone ever. It lacks the design and made out cheap plastic and the Android Interface was usually very slow. Did a little research and noticed that HTC phone have great built quality and I have also like the home screen interface that comes on the HTC Sense. All I had to do was find a phone that would fit my budget and came across HTC Desire S which runs application very smoothly. Even though I bought a second hand phone, it still look pretty solid. Best Purchased made and my little sister spends a lot of time on it and likes the phone a lot.
This was my first smart phone having looked at many and plumped for this one. It is easy to use, I can access all of the apps that I need (which aren't many, not into downloading every app going) and view everything on a nice clear quality screen. It's not too small or too big, just perfectly sized for me. The phone works well and is clear. I am with Vodafone and use their sure signal box provides 3G signal at all times in the house as I live in a poor signal area. I did not buy the phone for its camera as I own a top quality DSLR for that purpose. I was expecting poor battery life but as long as you don't live on your apps, stream a lot, I can get about two days of battery life which is more than I expected. All in all, a well made, rigid feel to the phone which I hope will last me a very long time as I'm not one to chop and change every twelve months.I have purchased a rubber case and screen protector to ensure its protected as long as possible. Well done HTC.Read full review
