Desire Update to Android Froyo Scheduled
The HTC Desire is still one of the best high end Android smart phones available on the market. And it is getting an Android update late next month.
The device first appeared last year in the leaked HTC 2010 roadmap that featured the HTC Desire (which was at that name, was still named Bravo) and the HTC Legend. The two devices would once again re-appear in the Mobile World Congress last February, but the other devices in the roadmap were never heard about in any news updates (the Tide, Salsa and Buzz). There are many HTC Desire deals already to be found online.
The HTC Desire is well known for impressive hardware that very closes matches that of the Google Nexus One –this similarity comes as to no surprise as it was HTC that manufactured both devices, and last December, when the Nexus One was still a rumor, the two phones were often mistaken for each other.
Packed with a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, the Desire is fast and powerful enough to handle many of the resource heavy apps as well as the new 2.2 Froyo update that is scheduled to arrive by June 23. With the addition of native Flash and AIR support, there will be plenty of chances for the Desire to show off how smoothly Flash works on an Android handset. This impressive HTC smart phone also comes with a 5 mega pixel camera and a 3.7 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen display.
Speaking of the Desire, it seems that HTC might just be working on a second version of this Android handset and this time, they will be adding in a slide out QWERTY keyboard –making it one of the first Android devices to have a 1GHz CPU and a keyboard. The new device is rumored to be named as the HTC Vision and it is expected to come out later this year.
