Design: Very classy, timeless. Especially the bronze mounts I find very attractive.
Processing: It creaks nothing. The pressure points are well laid out and the buttons are well made. The only drawback: When removing the battery cover you're afraid rauszubrechen him, because there is no mechanism for opening.
Touchscreen: Almost as good as the iPhone, very rarely inaccurate. Reliable! And it uses pinch-to-zoom, so Mutitouch.
Display: Vibrant colors, good contrast, brightness is good, excellent sharpness! Shortcoming: barely visible in strong sunlight! But this problem is well known.
Camera: Although this has been torn in several test reports, I find it perfectly fine. The Desire has a 5MP camera with autofocus and face detection. Shoots good photos, options are plentiful.
HTC Sense: Here you have something to get used to it first. The user interface is designed very stylish, but the contacts and messages are a bit complicated.
Making calls: Here HTC has saved some of the quality. One can understand clearly the interlocutor indeed, but one would have wished for a more refined quality. The Speaker, however, is designed to be relatively quiet. But that's a matter of taste.
Speed: The HTC Desire is a real natural talent in terms of speeds in all networks. Internet is no problem outdoors! Just wonderful!
Battery life: Here we must not forget easily that this is a smart phone and nothing more for a "normal" mobile phone. This means that the battery life is not, of course, several days of normal use. Excluding the Desire only in standby mode in your pocket, it lasts for 2-3 days without problems from. You make a call but the day from time to time, some rum surfing the net or playing, you can put it every night to the power supply. Here it comes now on top, whether it is an important or not.
Conclusion: The HTC Desire is for normal phone users rather unsuitable. But you need a smartphone that makes without problems the advantages of the Internet visible, has a really good design and offers a thoroughly enjoyable repertoire of functions, which is well equipped with the HTC Desire!
