HTC Desire follows the footsteps of Nexus One
A month after its release in store, the Nexus One by Taiwanese company HTC (High Tech Computers) presents the HTC Desire, much like the phone that Google has launched with bullying in the market for smartphones. Along with the HTC Mini and HTC Legend is one of 3 phones so far by HTC officially presented during this Mobile World Congress.

The HTC Desire has 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen, 1GHz of Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth 2.1 and GPS, FM radio and 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash.

HTC Desire is a nice mobile model. I am using this mobile and i recently unlocked the mobile using the unlock code purchased.
How long does HTC Desire’s battery last?
This is a very impressive phone! I’m really considering pre-ordering is, especially after the 5 star review @ Techradar.
I’ve got my HTC Desire recently, I used to using the Nokia X5800. Moving from Symbian to the Android platform is day and night difference. That shows how far behind Nokia is in this game!
I’m very happy getting the Desire machine but the battery power is something a pain, since I’m using the machine all the time for E-Mail and surfing the Net. Single Battery can’t last more then 6 hrs. I believe this is something that HTC need to improve on the battery consumption!
I just can’t wait to get upgraded to the new 2.2 FroYo hopefully in the next few weeks!
LOL i have that phone its cool
