The currently best smartphone

Compared to the Samsung Galaxy S it shines especially with the much better speed, more sophisticated software and the "wertigeren" feel.

Opposite the Desire HD it shines with better handling, better handling and better battery life.

The only real alternative is perhaps the Desire Z, but the significantly heavier and larger, however.

Two disadvantages of the Desire, especially when compared to the Samsung Galaxy S: The battery life is slightly lower despite a smaller screen, mainly because of the fact that the processor clocked up more quickly. But the advantage is thus better reaction speed. Second drawback: The HTC Desire does not support only one Exchange account. For the ActiveSync client is much more sophisticated than that of the original Android and has some bugs not the suffering and the Samsung. Pity is that HTC was a bit short in the internal flash memory so. This one is forced to constantly move apps to the SD card.

For often discussed topic screen: A direct comparison of the Samsung Galaxy S screen acts naturally brilliant. In everyday life, but that does not matter. Outdoors the HTC is even easier to read than the Samsung. When Samsung's writings also appear on some websites frayed. The larger screen with the same resolution and not just to wear while Samsung to improving the representation.

So overall 4 stars. The fifth star, the Desire would earn if it would support multiple Exchange accounts, better battery life and more have internal flash memory. So there is not much missing the perfect smartphone.
