The new Android powered Smartphone to be dropped from the HTC heavens is the HTC Desire; it has a huge 3.7 inch AMOLED touch sensitive display, it utilises the HTC Sense interface and its super thin with an 11.9mm waistline. HTC have included a very powerful 1GHz processor for speedy page rendering and video loading and the ergonomically designed trackball makes for easy navigation round the screen.
The phone general design centres around it huge WVGA resolution AMOLED display, the colour production and mind blowing contrast ratio really set it apart from other screens, it has built-in accelerometer for auto rotation and its extremely sensitive to touch commands. The casing is simple and does its job of concealing the advanced technology HTC have hidden inside though it isn't as glitzy as the Legend. The Desire has the same Android 2.1 operating system and HTC Sense overlay which the Legend has, though the Desire manages to get much more out of them with its 1 GHz SnapDragon CPU it makes for quick, easy multi tasking and the phone rockets through pages and applications like there is no tomorrow, no lag, no worries. HTC have incorporated business users into the web of the phones software, a document viewer and Exchange support mean you can keep within touching distance of the office if you are away.
The intelligent user interface has that same clown n a tuxedo feel the Legend has; playful yet functional, its professionalism is coated with personality. HTC let you mould your own Desire experience; you can alter the content which is surfaced on to the seven home screen panels, your contacts, the new live news feed, the FriendStream application and tons of widgets representing weather reports, social networks, your calendar and more, interchangeable backgrounds and themes are also pre-loaded into the software. They also like you to stay close with your friends, the new People widget enables you to create groups of contacts; family groups, work colleagues and circles of friends can be linked together making for easy surfacing of particular contacts you wish to call message or e-mail.

The multimedia player supports tons of audio and video file types including mp3, wav, wma, 3gp, mp4 and wmv.
