The HTC Desire – Is It Worth Buying?

After the success of the HTC Legend, HTC has made further strides forwards with the introduction of the HTC Desire, which has a better processor and screen than their previous release. The 1GHz processor rivals any processor you can find on the smartphone market right now, making multitasking a snap and allowing you to access whatever applications you need faster than you could have imagined before. It is truly a welcome improvement, not only on the HTC Legend, but on most offerings from other manufacturers too.

The Android 2.1 platform can be found on the HTC Desire, as well as the Sense user interface. The touch screen is very easy to use, as you can just pinch zoom on the main screen to access any of your seven home screens, which are filled with incredible apps you can get from the Android Market and customize however you like, enabling you to organize everything you need quickly and access your apps in a snap.

The HTC Desire’s main selling point is its powerful touch screen, which is larger than any other smartphone on the market at 3.7″, which a 480 x 800 resolution, allowing you to see a lot of info at any one time. The AMOLED panel increases the sharpness of this screen to give it near crystal clarity, and you will be able to easily do web browsing or email checking with this large, high definition screen.

With the bigger screen, you can use the touch-screen QWERTY keyboard very easily no matter what mode you are in, allowing you to minimize the typos that usually come with these types of interfaces. This way, it is simpler than ever to send out a little email very quickly, and you can look at Word, Excel and PowerPoint files with the Quick Office program, and PDFs are easier to access than ever before with the PDF reader.

Those of you familiar with Android phones will be used to the four front buttons by now, and they feature in a similar fashion on this device. The Search button in particular is very interesting, as you can search for something both on Google and in the contents of your phone simultaneously. It will continue to narrow down the search until it is just searching Google, if it is not on your phone, making it incredibly intelligent and intuitive for a smartphone. The user friendly nature of this feature, as well as the myriad benefits to having an HTC Desire, make this one of the best smartphones out there right now.
