HTC Desire – Can It Match The iPhone?
In terms of hardware specification, the HTC Desire is as good any other phone available right now. A 1GHz processor and 576MB of RAM in a phone was unheard of not long ago, but HTC have managed to turn that into a reality, and the results are outstanding. There are no lags or wasted seconds waiting for pages or apps to load, something which other smartphones have suffered from, having not been made with sufficient processing power for the operating system and software installed on them. The HTC Desire’s user interface offers a mixture of usability and style that sets it apart from the competition. It features seven customizable homescreens, to which you can apply a wide range of widgets and shortcuts. Out of the box, you will find a good selection of apps and web shortcuts to play with, representing the corporations behind the release, and any service or tool not on the phone when you receive can be found on the Android Market to download. All of the media features on the HTC Desire are better than average, but a couple could have done with being a little bit better. The camera is a 5 megapixel one, but the quality of the pictures it takes is not as good as similar priced smartphones, and the media player, whilst working fine, does not support as many different types of files as the ones used by competitors. On the plus side, browsing the web is a really nice experience. The screen is clear and crisp, pages render correctly and load quickly, and scrolling through long pages is smooth and fluid. HTC have paid particular attention to what business users want from a smartphone, and it would be hard to argue against the HTC Desire being the best business smartphone on the market. Support for Microsoft Exchange is provided, so managing your contacts and emails is no problem at all, and it comes with Quickoffice pre-installed, which allows you to view and edit Microsoft Office documents. Features such as those, along with a professional design, are what have made it the first choice smartphone for businessmen and businesswomen.
