I have my HTC Desire now excited for a week, and am. Actually I wanted to buy a iPhone3GS, and am glad that I did not do it. Why?
On the Desire Android 2.1 system is installed, it is based on Linux. Linux I like better from philosophy, as Win or Mac based systems.
Furthermore, the almost repressive policy of Apple not Like, for example, that there will be no Flash for Apple etc.
For the HTC Desire itself is here almost all been written, so I'll be brief.
Of the haptics, the Desire feels simply only great. It's a real flatterer.
The display has left an impression on me Duch adult.
++ It is brilliant super razor sharp, even small texts can be read well. And thanks to the AMOLED technology can also read texts längege fatigue, as there is no active backlight.
- The display reflects very strong, and it's just hard to see in daylight and direct sunlight.
Battery performance 1400mh is rather moderate, with intensive use, the device is for 6-8 hours yet. This is indeed also true to other devices. For the Nexus One are already 3200mh batteries to buy. And as the HTC Desire and Nexus One are identical except for the case, it is determined soon for the HTC Desire matching batteries give.
Despite the small drawbacks I can highly recommend the HTC Desire. It is flexible and extensible thanks to the Android Market with thousands of apps. The choice is still not quite as big as Apple, but it's only a matter of time until the offset. Unfortunately, you can only buy by credit card on the Android Market apps. I hope that there will soon be other Bezahlöglichkeiten. PayPal, for example.
