HTC Desire HD

The original Desire model from HTC was a runaway success. So to try to emulate the success of the phone, the latest model needs to be up to the task. And that is what the latest model, the HTC Desire HD, does exactly. It not only overtakes its predecessor in terms of the features, but has moved the goal posts to a totally great new level.

The HTC Desire HD manages to do that by using the latest technologies in every aspect. Whether it is the class leading 4.3 inch touch screen display that boasts a resolution of 480 x 800 or the use of SRS virtual surround sound and Dolby Mobile to enhance the quality of sound, it really sets a new dimension in mobile phone technology. The camera too is 8 megapixel, but it also offers features like Face detection capability, Geotagging, Auto focus and dual LED flash, a few of which are not present even in some compact digital cameras.

The phone runs on the Android 2.2 operating system with HTC Sense that helps you prevent loss of vital information, in the event of losing your phone. The phone has an internal storage of 1.5 GB, but that can be increased via microSD memory cards. The various connectivity options include 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth that are overshadowed by the DLNA option. This DLNA connectivity lets you share the data in your phone with similar DLNA enabled devices like HD TV’s and home theatre systems without breaking sweat.

The HTC Desire HD is among the most feature rich phones that are available today and it is no surprise that it is also one of the most eagerly awaited phones in the UK market. It is reasonably priced for the features that it offers at £470 but will be available cheaper through phone contracts.
