The sleek HTC Desire is very close, in most ways, to the already released Google Nexus One. It weighs in at a very standard 135g and measures 119 x 60 x 11.9, again, quite a standard measurement. There is a big variety of features packed inside the handset. You will be able to find smaller smartphones, but none that provide an impressive 3.7" AMOLED screen as the HTC Desire does. It maintains the smooth and neat curves of the Google Nexus One, which was also manufactured by HTC, but a noticeable difference, and a change for the better, is the replacement of the trackball beneath the screen with an optical version. The optical trackball looks better and is much more responsive and accurate. The HTC Desire also includes a very good 5 mega pixel camera. It has autofocus as well as an LED flash which improves the quality of photos snapped in low lighting. The Desire can even capture video at a surprising 800 x 400. Although the 512 MB of included memory will not hold too much, the micro SD card slot allows for memory expansion up to 16 GB. The phone runs off a powerful 1Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon Processor. This is the fastest processor available for cell phones and the result is that you never have to wait for screens or apps to load. As well as the increased processing power, other real crowd pleasers are the newly incorporated Sense user interface coupled and the Android 2.1 operating system. The homescreen is well presented and the navigation system is, arguably, the best that any manufacturer has come up with. The Sense system features, amongst other things, a calendar widget which shows the user their full schedule rather than just a view of the current month. This is a great feature for business users especially. Scrolling your finger across the bottom of the screen whilst using an application opens up extra elements of that app, which makes for great usability. This principle is also incorporated into the messaging, contacts and music screens. You can even change music tracks, due to improvement in the media player facility, by dragging your finger across the bottom of the Desire. A very deep and natural black color and a good responsiveness are features of the 3.7” screen which does a great job with movie playback. The new smartphone, the HTC desire, is one of very few handsets that incorporate great looks, swift performance and a wide array of features. It is, without question, one of the best smartphones to come onto the market in 2010.
