HTC Desire
is the only Android device here to hava been updated to the latest 2.2"Froyo" version of Google's OS. At least, that's the case for unlocked handsets.Network-locked Desires will get the update later this year, although no dates for this have been confirmed.Regardless of the Android version, everything zips along on HTC's brilliant.Sense interface. Screen transitions are smooth and web pages fly into the Webkit browser window.
With the update comes a string of new features,including a Wi-Fi Hotspot app which lets you piggyback up to wight Wi-Fi devices onto the phone's 3G connection. Video recording gets a boost from WVGA to 720p but quality is still average at best. Footage is a little drab and lifeless,and tends to drop the frame rate when you're shooting indoors. Ont the plus side there's Flash 10.1 support(handy for YouTube) and the ability to sync with iTunes. You have to do this via HTC's own Sync software but it works just fine.
Unfortunately it's still missing some key Android 2.2 features,such as Bluetooth voice dialing,but that doesn't stop this 1GHz powerhouse standing out as the most user-friendly, well made Android handset on the market.
There's a fine 5MP camera with an LED flash mounted on the Desire's rear.Stills performance is great but video is disappointing. Both have easy-to-use manual settings and effects.
You can buy HTC desire
at a Price Rs 28,900.
