    5 Stars The iPhone Killer Review with images 29/06/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great functions, lovely to use, the best mobile I've ever used

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Battery time, it needs charging daily. No Mac connectivity!

    I’ve not had the greatest of experiences with touch sensitive mobile phones, LG’s Prada Phone was ok at first, Samsung’s Jet a spewing pile of widgets, and Nokia’s phones more often than not never even got off the starting block. Having owned an iPod touch and loving it to bits, because the sensitivity is just perfect it seemed the viable option that my mobile phone upgrade would take me in the direction of the iPhone. Sadly my network “3” did not offer the iPhone (until straight after my upgrade anyway) and with iPhone’s being on the market for a couple of years now I doubted the event would ... more

    5 Stars Happy Talking Chat...? it's what we all desire 29/12/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, nice feel, clear calls, good sounds and a nice first smart phone

    Disadvantages Disadvantages camera is a bit of a let down

    Mobile phones? Most people have owned at least one of these small communication devices during their life times, with some people owning quite a few, even going as far as to be those that sit waiting outside carphone warehouse at midnight in order to be the first to get their hands on the very latest piece of communication technology, (other mobile phone shops are available). Anyway, my point being that a mobile phone is now part of every day life with most areas in the world being capable of receiving some from of signal in order for the little technological crammed pieces of plastic to be ... more

    5 Stars i-What? Review with images 22/05/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Incredible speed and ease of use, best mobile OS going, best camera for one of these smartphones

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Battery life not astoundingly good, bluetoothing contacts is a bit of a faff.

    This is my second delving into the world of HTC and Android phones, after owning the hugely brilliant HTC Hero. HTC are becoming more recognised as a brand now and this phone has received a lot of advertising space, complete with TV advert plinky plunky alt. folk music to back it up like all phones/networks/cars/things. So how does HTC's latest offering stack up? It's all too easy to compare this phone with its rivals, so I'm going to try and keep comparisons to a minimum until the end, where I will let loose with a big, comparison laden brain fart. LOOKS Most immediately noticeable from the ... more

    5 Stars Silently taking over! 23/09/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Full of features and functions, everything in your hand

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Then the battery lets you down :-(

    Well it was upgrade time for me on my O2 contract and like every other person I wanted either a Blackberry or an iPhone. After much thought and a talking to with my uncle the Blackberry was swiftly removed from this and so the iPhone was the target. So off I went to try and haggle with the people at O2 for it. So I went in store and to other phone shops and I bumped into this. What is it? I asked, 'It's the HTC Desire' was the reply I got from the sales assistant. I asked if I could play around with the real one as the dummy was no doing it any justice and I was immediately converted. After ... more

    5 Stars Queen Meets Dragon. Dragon Says No. Queen Soon Leaves. 31/05/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages I'm able to get my phone out of my pocket and say "look! it's Mine!" when an advert comes on the T

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Then the battery goes, so I can't tell anyone.

    The Queen has two birthdays. One her actual birthday, the other because of a significant date in the year. I like the sound of this philosophy, so I have deemed my phone upgrade day as a second birthday, because you can go out and get something new for sort-of free. I know it's not actually free, because I pay monthly, just like the Queen does for contracts of a different sort, it's just that mine is £35 per month and the Queen's is at least £15000 per year. My most recent celebrations resulted in me coming home with a HTC Desire Smartphone - I was happy with the T-Mobile G1 that had been my ... more

    fiture very complete and affordable prices

    The screen on the HTC Desire is vivid and crisp. So it's great for making the most of all your movies, photos, games and favourite websites.
