According to industry data supplied by price aggregator site Mobile Shop the HTC Desire is the top selling handset of the month so far.
It’s not surprising given the lack of decent new handsets on the market since Christmas but the current fashion for Android combined with the HTC Desire having some very good new features is certainly catching peoples imagination.
Comparing the Desire to the Nexus One, you realize that both handsets have 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED capacitive touchscreens, sport very similarly-sized bodies (though the Nexus One is a shade thinner, and has soft-touch keys), run Android 2.1, and include 5.0-megapixel cameras with LED flash. One of the main attractions is the fact that both handsets have Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD 8250 processors running at 1GHz—so they’re extremely speedy to use. Inside, the Desire forgoes active noise cancellation, but has more RAM at 576MB compared to the 512MB the Nexus One has. So, small differences.
The addition of HTC Sense is a biggie though. It’s singlehandedly why I enjoy using Android so much—I just can’t imagine owning a device with MOTOBLUR, Mediascape or S-Class. It changes the way you use Android, so in that aspect alone it’s a completely different kettle of fish in comparison to the Nexus One. Unless you’ve already installed the Sense/Flash ROM on your Nexus One.
HTC’s Legend is the only other handset running Android 2.1 with the updated Sense, which we ran through in our review. New features include the Mac OS X-like “Leap” function, social networking amalgamator FriendStream, and updated contact profiles.
HTC Desire delivers intense brilliance, sharp contrast, and true colors on the expansive 3.7-inch AMOLED display. The 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor makes the phone incredibly responsive as you multitask from app to app without skipping a beat, while the instinctive HTC Sense experience lets you wield the power of the HTC Desire with the greatest
of ease.
With the HTC Desire, it’s all about your information, your entertainment, your multimedia … your way. A multitude of HTC Sense widgets makes it easy to transform your Home screen with rich content that personalizes your phone experience.
