    5 Stars HTC how do I love thee? Let me count the ways! Review with images 28/12/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Design, fast, lots of apps, fairly easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Battery life

    Recently that exciting time of year came around again and it was time for me to upgrade. I'm very picky with phones and usually it takes months of research until I decide upon a new handset, but this year the decision was fairly easy. I soon narrowed it down to two candidates, the iPhone 4 and the HTC Desire HD. Of course there are swings and roundabouts with every phone, but after reading a few reviews, the Desire HD seemed to come out on top. I excitedly placed my order and awaited it's arrival. I was a little concerned about the size of the phone as it is one of the largest handsets ... more

    5 Stars object of my desire 09/06/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages brillliant to use, loads of apps, stunning looks

    Disadvantages Disadvantages battery life

    My contract with virgin ended this month and I decided to look for a better phone than my old nokia. So I explored the possibility of getting a smart phone. I wasn’t keen on the iphone but wanted something similar, so looked at android phones and found the htc desire hd online. I have always wanted this model since hearing good reviews of it. There were some fantastic offers going but I went into phones 4 u to compare the prices and bundles available. They offered me it on a 24 month contract with 200 minutes, unlimited texts and 500meg internet for £25 per month plus £50 casback, bringing the ... more

    4 Stars Almost perfect....but not quite. 04/07/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Crystal clear screen, great sound, lovely apps, excellent 'cloud' integration.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Battery

    I've had my HTC DESIRE HD for a little over 4 months now and have refrained from writing a review until now; I should think that I have now tried out every feature thoroughly and more so. I recieved it on free upgrade from Orange and it was on the Froyo (Android 2.2) OS. For the sake of this review, I shall only report the non-Orange parts of it as Orange branded it and loaded it with unwanted software that has been particularly unhelpful at times. On opening the box, I was impressed. When you hold it in your hand it immediately feels like something you would want to use and be seen to use. It ... more

    5 Stars The Smartphone that truly is smart 20/12/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages excellent video, 8mp camera, 720p video recording, loads of apps, very usable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages uses a lot of data if you arent careful, battery can run out quickly

    Now I’ve gone from a smartphone to an Android powered HTC Desire HD. Wow. I didn’t realise quite what I was missing out on. Sure the BlackBerry was good, but this is just better. I do miss the qwerty keyboard but this phone was easy to setup, is easy to use and has more features than you can shake a stick at. I had a smartphone before but to be honest it feels like I was living on the dark ages… The HTC Desire HD is faster, leaner, seeker and more user-friendly. It comes with a wealth of applications pre-installed, but being a massive geek I spent a few hours last night in the Android ... more

    5 Stars A brilliant new phone 01/11/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very nice and sleek design, easy to charge anywhere. Very nice touch screen

    Disadvantages Disadvantages May be too big for some, battery life is pretty appaling, does not connect with a Mac

    I bought this phone around 2 weeks ago, and although there are some negative points that I will go into, these are only minor. Firstly the phone as an object. One of the first things that everyone seems to say when they see it is, Wow, it's big. Which it is. It has a 4.3 inch screen which is bigger than any other smartphone that I have seen. However I do not count this as a negative, as long as it fits in your pocket, that's all that matters, which it does. The design is very nice, there are only 3 buttons, one for the power and 2 for the volume. This keeps the phone looking modern and sleek ... more
