Fulfill Your Android Smartphone Fantasy with the HTC Desire

HTC clearly has plans to design and manufacture smartphones under four categories – Social, Lifestyle/Design, Performance, and Productivity. The HTC Desire belongs to the Performance category while Windows Mobile-based phones will fall into the Productivity category. You can find the HTC Desire for a desirable price by comparing mobiles on the internet.

Spurred on by the Google Nexus One which, by the way, HTC also manufactured, the desire runs on the Android 2.1 operating system and powered by Qualcomm’s 1GHz Snapdragon mobile CPU, both of which are also included in HTC’s HD2 smartphone. This combination alone will send a lot of enthusiasts reaching for their checkbooks.

Considered as one of the most outstanding display on a smartphone in a while, the HTC Desire is equipped with a 3.7-inch AMOLED capacitive screen with 480 x 800 pixels resolution and 16 million colours. Apart from the device’s impressive display, the built-in 5 megapixel autofocus camera and HD 720p video recording capability are just some of the Desire’s most striking features.

The HTC Desire has an overall dimension of 119 x 60 x 11.9 mm and weighs in at 135 grams. Considering its compact size, the phone is loaded with a lot of other special features.

With the Desire’s Sense user interface, you can assign a thumbnail for your favourite apps right on your home screen. These thumbnails can represent your phone book, messages, mails, web browser and calendar schedule, to name a few.

The HTC Desire also comes with useful features like the proximity sensor which controls the ringing volume and function shutdown, ambient light sensor, a digital compass, an optical trackball and an accelerometer sensor to auto-rotate the user interface. It also comes with a versatile media player and stereo FM radio with RDS if you prefer entertainment on the go.
