Smartphone manufacturer HTC has released in April 2010 the Desire model with an impressive specification list, which is genuinely appealing to everyday users and gadget enthusiasts as well.

The HTC Desire’s main features include the Android OS (v2.1), Wi-Fi connection and 5 mega pixel digital camera, but there are many other exciting features as well and thus, it is no surprise that it has become a very popular handset.

The HTC Desire is a compact handset and thus it is extremely portable and can be easily carried in a pocket or handbag. With a weight of 135 g, it is a lightweight smartphone despite the long specification list. The 3.7 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen provides top quality display of the onscreen imagery. An optical trackpad is also available below the screen as an alternative navigation method for the HTC Sense UI, dynamic and interactive user interface which is actually the manufacturer’s custom Android UI.

HTC Desire alerts its users of incoming calls and messages through both ringing and vibration. The ringtone can be customized through assigned MP3 files. Handsfree systems include the speakerphone function and also a 3.5 mm audio jack which supports handsfree headsets and earphones as well to listen to music through the provided media player.

HTC Desire features an ample amount of internal memory and thus offers plenty of storage space for various media files. The memory can be further expanded through the built-in micro SD card slot that can host a memory card of up to 32 GB. It is sufficient to store most users’ music collection in combination with the provided internal media player.

The smartphone offers several connectivity methods, making sure that the handset remains always connected to cellular networks and internet at optimum levels. The connection to cellular networks and internet is made through GPRS and EDGE, both in class 10 versions, where there is weak or no 3G signal. Internet access is provided through HSDPA connection in areas where 3G is available. High speed internet access can be achieved through Wi-Fi when wireless networks are available. The handset can be connected to compatible hardware through micro USB and Bluetooth connection.

The HTC Desire features a 5 mega pixel digital camera delivering high quality images. The incorporated digital camera is also able to shoot D1 quality video as an alternative way of image capture. It is simple to take excellent photos with the use of such features as LED flash and autofocus.

When it comes to entertainment, the handset features a resourceful media player and an incorporated radio player. Other features include several pre-installed games, which are provided to keep users entertained for hours on end. The HTC Desire is extremely appealing because of the integration of social networks. Twitter, Flickr and Facebook have dedicated applications downloadable from the Andriod market, making it simple for all users to login to their accounts and stay in touch with their family and friends.

The Android OS, the highly capable hardware and the long list of features make the HTC Desire very appealing to all mobile phone users, for both personal and business use.
