HTC Desire Available Under 3 Mobile UK
Mobile virtual network operator has announced that they are now offering HTC’s high end Android smart phone to customers. While the cheapest deal places the handset for free at 30 Pounds a month for a full 24 months, the best packages for the Desire are still those that make use of 3’s impressive 3G data plan offers.
Taiwanese manufacturer HTC has always been at the forefront of Android smart phone innovation and the Desire is a testament to that. Originally announced as the HTC Bravo last 2009, this Android device later served as the basis for the Nexus One (the Google branded smart phone that HTC made). This is why the two Android device share similar specifications.
Of course, as with HTC’s other Android devices, they use the HTC Sense custom user interface (as opposed to simply using the Android OS as is). While not necessary, the Sense UI provides a bit of a graphical face-lift to the Android; though some purists still prefer to do without (ironically, there are apps for the Android that emulate the Sense UI for non-HTC devices).
This handset virtually screams high end with its specs. The 5 mega pixel camera provides high quality videos and images that can be displayed on the 3.7 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen display. With a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, viewing videos and the web in wide screen mode is visually appealing.
As an Android device, the Desire is not lacking with additional features as the large library of apps from the Android Market will give users a wide range of tools and functions that they can add. The device’s 1GHz Snapdragon CPU will take care of any resource extensive app to ensure that phone performance stays smooth and fast.
For those who feel that the HTC Desire is a little too high end for their tastes, the HTC Wildfire has also been released.
