Top 10 HTC Desire deals

Intro

The HTC Desire is widely regarded as the best Android phone yet. With its expansive 3.7-inch screen and massive 32GB memory, it's optimised for enjoying movies and other media on the go. And it's also got room for advanced social networking functions, a powerful processor and a five megapixel camera.

The HTC Desire is regarded as the phone that fans of Google's Android mobile phone operating system have been waiting for. And looking at its cool exterior and knockout array of modern smartphone functions, it's not hard to see why.

Unlike some other high-end mobiles, the Desire is home to a powerful 1GHz processor. This means that you'll be able to efficiently multi-task to really make the most of your time. Use a variety of apps simultaneously or just compose an email while looking up your optimum route to a destination - it is really is up to you.

The Desire also boasts a brilliant media player, with the massive 3.7-inch screen making for a rich and pleasurable mobile video experience. Meanwhile, the chance to boost the Desire's memory by up to 32GB means you'll have plenty of room for storing all your favourite music and movies.

Other features of this stellar mobile include a five megapixel camera, the latest 2.1 version of Android, digital compass, full Facebook integration, GPS, FM radio, tethering and HSDPA support for super fast web browsing and fast downloads.

This phone is everything I heard it was & more. I finally took a leap of faith and put down my iPhone, and swapped it for the Desire. My wife has the new iP4 and I still like my Desire much better! Can't see myself going back to iPhone. I'm Androided!

HTC are a new brand, but are bringing out high end phones that everyone is buying. I have the HTC desire and it absolutely KILLS APPLE'S iPHONE.

The iPhone is tooo overrated and really isn't what it's cracked up to be. i have previously had the HTC Hero and loved that too. COME ON HTC! Crush APPLE! and make Yourselves the best mobile phone brand In the WORLD!

No one can touch HTC at the moment. No wonder Apple is trying to sue the pants off them!

Wow - yet another iPhone destroying phone from HTC. They've raised their game to the point they are now Apple's biggest challenger in terms of phone quality. Nokia are going to struggle to keep up.

More on the HTC Desire

After a string of massive hits from HTC using the Android platform, such as the multi-award-winning HTC Hero, the Desire had a lot to live up to.

But it's more than exceeded people's expectations. Reviewers and consumers alike have been hugely impressed by the amazing multi-media experience that the Desire offers - thanks in no small part to its richly colourful AMOLED, 3.7-inch screen.

The handset has also been heavily praised for its intuitive and practical user interface that combines a trackball with a touchscreen and multi-touch commands, as well as the powerful 1GHz processor that facilitates efficient multi-tasking.
