Best HTC Blog

There are plenty of great mobile phones out there on the market. But when it comes to overall features, hardware capabilities, accessibility and functionality, it is hard to find a handset that is as impressive as the HTC Desire.

Of course, the Desire is more than just a great, well rounded mobile phone. It does have certain special aspects that make it stand out against other mobile phones.

The Android OS

First off, the HTC Desire is an Android device. This means that users will get the full range of Google’s web applications and phone features in a single stroke. For those on the move, there is Google Maps and Google Earth. The integrated search function instantly seeks out address inputs and can even give you the quickest route to the nearest pub.

Google Mail and Google Chat bring users in touch with important contacts while Picasa and YouTube handle media uploading needs. The Google Goggles augmented reality app allows users to instant seek out information on the things and places around them –used in conjunction with Google Street View and the satellite navigation; it will also help users get around easier.

Screen and More

The second great feature about this handset is the touch screen display. At 3.7 inches, the screen is quite big (though not as spaciously large as the 4.3 inch screen on the upcoming HTC Desire HD or the 5 inch display on the Dell Streak). In any case, size is not the main advantage of the screen on the HTC Desire, and the capacitive touch screen technology is pretty much a standard for the handset.

What makes the screen on the Desire very special is the fact that it uses AMOLED technology. With a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels the screen is able to handle HD video content without much problems –this is particularly useful since the Desire is a great handset for viewing media content.
