    Compare all HTC Desire deals
    The HTC Desire is the most popular phone of the year (2010). It has an Android OS, a fantastic touch screen display, an optical trackpad and HTCÆs excellent Sense user interface. Ergonomically, the HTC Desire just slips naturally into the hand with its all–round soft curves, on paper itÆs slightly larger than the Nexus One but in real–life this isnÆt noticeable.

    The HTC Desire has a fantastic 3.7 inch widescreen, AMOLED display, delivering 720x480 pixels resolution. Arguably crisper and clearer than any other display on the market, it delivers touchscreen responsiveness definitely in the ballpark of the iPhone and, moreover, it is fast. The combination of Android 2.1 sitting above a Snapdragon CPU clocked at 1GHz with 512Mb of RAM and ROM really does enable you to zap through opening up applications and then moving between them.

    Its multimedia credentials, are quietly competent rather than superb – such as the 5 megapixel, autofocus camera with LED flash and its 32GB memory card capacity. Where the Desire really impresses, though, is in what could be called its charisma, if it could walk into a crowded room, heads would most definitely turn. Its Teflon–coated back and sides are simultaneously rubbery and tough yet soft and almost sensuous, a strangely compelling tactile experience.
