Best phone ever
I was searching for my first smart phone for at least six months, and my final decision is HTC Desire. After I bought it, it didn't let me down. I really enjoy using it. Maybe it might not be the best phone for all the people, but it's the best phone for me. :)Read full review...
Excellent phone, minor niggles
Phone is great - anything you dont like you can tweak, amazing camera.
Keyboard is poor, but excellent replacements can be downloaded from the app store. Overall, i love it!

Excellent Phone, fastest I ever seen
This phone could connect with the networks WCDMA (the best, could connect in 3G and HDSPA) and GSM (2G and EDGE), far faster than the other mobiles, even better than Nexus One, HTC Sence apps are the most beautiful thing I ever seens for the mobiles. This product couls manage any application and game for mobiles. The best choiceRead full review...
Great Phone
I love this phone, it is great for all its additional features such as turning the phone over to stop an incoming call!
HTC Desire
This phone is awsome it beats the iphone 3 hands down and there are now more than enough free android apps to keep most people happy, the only issue I have is the battery needs charging daily but I would still recomend this phone.Read full review...
HTC Desire
Delighted with my 1st smartphone - a gizmo I had imagined for years - I've had 2 ipaq hand helds with gps [with a dire battery life which eventually dies completely...and takes tom tom maps along with it].I always had to have 3 pieces of kit plus chargers in my bag. I now have my music, gps, phone and internet access as well as a camera in one piece of kit. Joy. I am still discovering what it is capable of so far it is fast gives speedy access to the internet, holds my music and has a clear and v sensitive screen. [I have upgraded to a 16gb memory card.]It works fine as a phoneas it should.
The one I bought via ebay was an 'unwanted upgrade' and is the orange model which I do curse a bit as orange always pops up. [I looked into 'rooting' it but decided I'm not enough of a techie to risk that and now wish I'd gone for a sim free unlocked model - there were plenty available but as I already had an orange contract...and it is matte black which I like [hmm - but with a little orange square on the back.]It is neat and not too bulky - smaller than an iphone
The battery life is an issue, as most buyers mentioned, but I can now get 2-3 days per charge depending on use. I did the [thanks to another user] recommended overnight charge before starting. I read a lot of reviews of my prospective buys and got tips such as remembering to turn off gps and blue tooth when not in use. I do leave it -so far- entirely on 2G using wifi to access the internet and would definitely recommend this for setting up because it is quicker [it tells you that when downloading]and cheaper/free-ish if you already have wifi access - and lots of public places do now too.
The set-up was so easy it was a joy to watch as it rattled through my contacts, made links with my e-mail directory and facebook. Orange does seem to intervene with email messages which I'm sure isn't necessary - but not annoying enough for me to try to tackle it -yet. I've just got firefox sync -beta- which was great as I saw instantly where I'd last been searching on the desktop and everything from other computers was there BUT it seems to have reduced them to the lowest common denominator/simplest so I suddenly lost a great chunk of my contacts. Beware.
I'm pleased with the camera, which wasn't a high priority - definitely less digital lag than the sony ericsson this replaces. Also happy with the selection of apps from market but those I've chosen are pretty utilitarian: BBC news, newspapers, google earth, the sky at night, bar code rea - no games. Nor am I comparing it with an i-phone or former smartphone.
I've barely experimented with the gps though it did an instant picture of the outside of our v rural house-really impressive. [I gather that orange 3G have their own maps which requires 2 sattelite accesses to give directions which slows it down] I was also told that £50 will download an all time edition of European maps - again can't comment, but I have downloaded the free googlemaps available from market, which showed where I was walking in fields. The voice is robotic -not the polite and well spoken Tom Tom woman. My son's Desire was used in the car - he's a gps sceptic, with excellent map reading skills, and he was impressed with the result - especially as we were in the Lake District among the mountains at the time. It certainly did the job.
I have dithered between excellent and good. Maybe that's down to orange. It is a very good phone with which I'm delighted.Read full review...
excellent mobile device!
I can do almost everything. still learning, but as far as interaction goes, it beats my previous htc p3300. but htc is good :)
android and the touch screen were my reasons and that says it all!

I bought this phone for my Grandson so I can only give a review on his opinion. All I know is that he was delighted with it. Everything he has said about it as been positive and as never said he dislikes anything about it.Read full review...
