Mobile Phone Review: HTC, Desire HD

Enjoy the Desire HD's 4.3" touchscreen
The HTC Desire HD has one of the largest, clearest HD touchscreens around - bigger than the Samsung Galaxy S or Sony Ericsson X10. The 4.3" screen is perfect for everything from browsing sites in your lunch hour or sharing a presentation on the train to enjoying movies on the way home. And with Dolby Mobile, you get a rich, cinema-like sound.

Capture special times in HD
The other thing the HD screen comes in handy for is watching high definition video clips - you'll have fun shooting them with the Desire HD's 8 megapixel camera. And the photos you take will look amazing too - just imagine seeing your family holiday pictures in HD while you're still enjoying your time away (why wait till you get back to your PC?).
Do it all faster with the HTC Desire HD
The powerful 1GHz processor inside the HTC Desire HD means you've got speed on your side when browsing sites, playing games or watching videos. The processor makes the Desire HD faster than similar HTC Android phones like the HTC Legend or HTC Wildfire. It also lets you multi-task without things slowing down.
Built to keep pace with business
The HTC Desire HD's business features help you work quicker and smarter. You can easily plan your working day (and your social life) on the move with the calendar, contacts and email functions - they sync effortlessly with your computer. Next, do some online research - or catch up with the latest business news - by pinching the Desire HD's touchscreen to zoom in on web pages. The text automatically reorganises itself to make reading easier (it's called reflow).
Choose the look and feel of your Desire HD
Like all Android phones, such as the Samsung Galaxy S or the HTC Wildfire, the HTC Desire HD is highly customisable. You've got up to seven homescreens for things like widgets, apps, website bookmarks and more. So, you might have your email inbox on one screen, the weather or your Twitter feed on another and stock prices on another - it's up to you.
Apps let you do more with your Desire HD

The HTC Desire HD comes with lots of great apps preloaded for things like getting the latest news sent to your phone or turning your camera's flash into a handy torchlight. When you're ready to make your Desire HD even more personal to you, choose from over 100,000 apps in Android Market". There's something for everyone - from fun games to business productivity tools - and many apps are free.
