The HTC Desire is an impressive Smartphone that comes packed with plenty of innovations. The Android 2.1 smartphone comes with a 1 GHz processor, brilliant 3.7 inch AMOLED display which is ideal for web browsing and access the many applications that are now available for android operating system phone.
It uses the HTC Sense interface to help you navigate around the easy-to-use menu system. All you need to do is tap or swipe to gain easy access to the applications. As it comes with WiFi you can easily access and browse the Internet anywhere close by any wireless network. Because it’s also 3G you are still able to access the Internet when in range of a wi-fi network.
The android operating system uses the Google web browser which easily allows you to access websites and view video because it has Adobe® Flash® support for videos.
It comes with a five megapixel camera which will allow you to take quality photographs and shoot video. You can easily upload videos straight to YouTube using the built-in applications.
Sometimes it can be a little bit frustrating here in Ireland because the network’s providers like Vodafone, O2, Meteor and Three are always a few months behind bringing in new phones compared to the UK. The latest phones always seem to be available there way ahead of availability here in Ireland and they always seem to have a much better selection of handsets also.
We do ge get to read many reviews before the phone becomes available here from the likes of testfreaks and stuff.tv so does have a little bit of an advantage and also hopefully before the phones hit Ireland they iron out some of the software bugs

We know at this stage that some of the biggest markets in the world for mobile phones China and India. Today we hear that HTC and Bharti Airtel have officially launched a new strategy together they plan to bring this new technology and HTC’s strategic focus with affordable handsets.
Even though the handsets will be affordable they certainly will not let the specifications. The handset features a 2.8 inch QVGA display, Sense UI, HTC Friendstream (integrating Facebook, Twitter and Flickr), HTML browser, push email, 3.5mm headset jack, FM radio, 3.2MP camera, MicroSD card support, and 3G. We believe that present that Airtel do not have a 3G network but maybe this is something they’re launching in the future.

Unfortunately no details of the final release are available but rest assured it will definitely be coming very soon.
