My first experience of Smartphones was an HTC Explorer. A good solid starter model but I soon found that the internal memory was far too small even for the small number of apps I was running. I looked for something better and found it in the HTC Desire X. Much improved internal memory and with the 16gb memory card taken from my previous HTC model I can do just about anything I want with it. Extra apps and widgets no longer a problem. The phone feels good and solid in the hand but lives in a flip case for protection. Good screen resolution, easy set up and operation are what I had come to be used to with my old HTC and its just the same with this new one. Single front facing camera producing some great shots, the flash that doubles as a torch and the effects during and after taking photos are all great features. (Video hasn't been experimented with yet though). Just a couple of down points. The battery life is not good. Even with modest use it wont last more than a day. With Wi-Fi and apps closed down then two days is possible. The second down point is the sound quality. Although with using either earphones or external speakers the BEATS audio volume and quality are great but using the internal speaker the sound is fairly weak compared to say the I-phone... but hey this is a mid-priced Smartphone so why am I complaining !! I didn't pay £500+ for this handset. Very happy I bought this phone, its not the biggest nor fastest but it does exactly what the specs say and does it simply and easily and at an affordable price. A very good all round performer !!Read full review
I bought the HTC Desire because I wanted one item that would take the place of a camera, phone, notebook, Ipod, GPS, and databank. Does the Desire do all this? Yes it does, and so much more. the touch screen keypad is easy to use even for my fingers, the video quality is the best I've seen for such a compact device. There are loads of free apps available which range from games to gadgets and everything in between. It's really easy to use, but if you're struggling there are great "how to" sites on the web. Is it perfect? No, the camera focusing and light metering aren't as good as on my old Sony Ericsson K800i, nor is the battery life. If you use it without a case it can get a little warm to hold, but a flip front case solves that one. The bottom line is am I glad I bought it (and I bought it outright not on contract!), and would I buy it again? Yes and Yes!Read full review
As a member of the generation that remembers the introduction of mobile phones I finally decided it was time to get an up-to-date version. Decided on HTC Desire cos it had reasonably good reviews without the silly money price. Works ok as far as android phones go, but as forwarned in the reviews the battery life is rubbish. Be prepared to carry the charger with you. Apart from that, even a android virgin like me has been able to work out how to use it. On-line help could do with a little tweaking, perhaps a search facility, but I've been able to google any answers not obvious in the help folder. Overall I like the phone. Starting with a rating of 5 I'll take off 1 for the lack of battery life, and minus .5 for the online help. On the plus side it's easy to learn to use - well I managed it so it must be easyRead full review
I love this phone like I knew I would. I spent some time researching and deciding which Android phone I wanted and why. The desire, at the time, offered a high speed processor with a great screen size and a good basic feature set. Android as a phone OS offers a great degree of customisation out-of-the-box. I was particularly after an unbranded, any network model with the latest (2.2 - Froyo) build of the OS. If you're looking for a phone that does everything you want immediately and doesn't require any thought or digging through the marketplace add-ons for extra features and enhancements then Android is probably not the best OS for you. I'm a technophile and the whole Android ethos was exactly what I was after. Not for me the constraints of the Apple iOS and the need to jailbreak an iPhone to get flexibility even starting to approach that of the Android system. As for the HTC Desire itself, it has superb definition in its 480X800 WVGA AmOLED screen. Mutlitouch functionality is well handled. The camera produces clean and clear still and video images using the 5mp imaging hardware. The rounded rubberised plastic back shell feels really solid and comfy to handle - almost organic. Everything about the phone is solid and classy. Internet access is quick, even when not using the WiFi. The Google Maps Navigation tool gives a unique edge to SatNav with access to StreetView imagery during navigation. The only shortcomings with this Desire from my point of view are that it could possibly do with a little more memory and that there is no front screen video, meaning that future enhancements like video calling aren't going to work on it. Other than that - it's just what I always wanted.

I bought HTC Desire phone in December last year. i had heard so much about the android phones that it seemed the natural thing to do when upgrading my phone. I was not dissappointed the features are excellent. It does take getting used to, and the battery life is not as good as expected, but hey not everything is perfect. It is an expensive investment but one that is really worth it. The thousands of apps that are available will allow you to do anything you wish to do, whilst having fun at the same time. If are you thinking of purchasing one remember that you will need a good internet package as it surfs the internet to update itself.
