The operation requires a little familiarization and my mother, I would not just pay the part now, because intuitive as the iPhone, the Desire with Android is not. But if you, like me, is willing to get involved sometimes for something new, then you will be a variety of options and innovations rewards the Heide rushes. The Getting Started with the numerous widgets that you can invest in any form, goes over the Friend Stream HTC's Facebook and Twitter-disciples of all the important information available at a glance and continues in the super browser with Flash (Yes, here we must to try different browsers and use). No comparison to the iPhone! The display is the strongest possible terms what is currently on the market, although Apple claims otherwise by the new Iphone! The keys and the back have a feel its best. With the optical track-eye to controls within words accurately to the individual letters. Clean! Oh and on SMS: You can download an incredible number of SMS applications that also the beautiful balloon illustration from Iphone 1 in the Android Market: 1 copy.
But the real highlight for me as a Gmail user, the complete automatic synchronization of all contacts and appointments. Whether I am PC a new contact in my Google account or create a new appointment entries, this also automatically appear in my Desire. Should I go times change or enter a date, or create a new contact, then it will appear automatically in my Google account on the web! That's now for a lot of people might be a little daunting to give his contact Google in the hand, but the comfort I have thus, is unique. No more copying the SIM contacts more or if the phone is sometimes broken or stolen, no matter one has all his appointments and contacts automatically to the phone as soon as you enter his account data.
I will probably never return back to Apple camp, because what I offer Android and HTC here for freedom and diversity, you will find currently nowhere for so little money. No more Itunes, no complicated software to synchronize etc ..! A real blast I would call the end yet. The Desire to use as HSPA modem is easy. I'm sitting outside on a park bench and take out my netbook, I agree with the Desire and the display shows the question of whether I want to use the phone for Internet sharing appears after clicking on "Yes" I am online and that with UMTS speed. More is not possible!
Battery life could be better, but is typical smart phone with me about 1-2 days depending on usage. Updates of HTC / Android automatically appear on the screen and be at existing WiFi connection to download and install. easier and current as it gets.
From me 5 stars and a full purchase recommendation! There is currently no better smartphone!
