Android Pangs Solved with the HTC Desire
Not everyone has had the pleasure of owning and enjoying an Android smart phone, and since the launch of the HTC G1 Dream handset, there has been a wide range of devices and features that have been available for all users. Since that time, there have been several handsets that have benchmarked major improvements in the mobile platform, and now, marking the next stage of the Android’s development, is the HTC Desire.
Mobile Origins
The device was originally named as the HTC Bravo, a flagship handset in a series of Android mobile phones that was originally released in a roadmap. The device was supported by the HTC Legend. While both smart phones reached the production phase, the Bravo took a slight adjustment in details: a name change which was made public when the smart phone first appeared at the Mobile World Congress. Aside from the change in the name, the phone’s hardware features remained the same. The Desire name is now a standard for HTC, with the HTC Desire Z and HTC Desire HD on their way.
Hardware Specifications
In terms of hardware, the HTC Desire is one of the most powerful handsets to have ever been released. In fact, the device matches up to the specs of Google’s Nexus One. With a 3.7 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen display, 5 mega pixel camera and a Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 processor, the handset practically set the new basis for what can be considered as a high end device.
Running at 1GHz, the HTC Desire is fast, stable and powerful enough to handle every single existing Android app and feature. In fact, unless the user is running multiple applications, one should expect to have no slowdowns at all when it comes to this handset.
It also runs Android version 2.2 Froyo, which is a significant upgrade over the previous versions of the OS. Thanks to better resource handling, the user interface and web browsing on Froyo is faster and smoother than even before.
