beyond the standard that is on display in traditional smartphones. Such handsets are built, from the start of the design process, to be the most stimulating, super-powered phones on the market, and nowhere is that more apparent than in the HTC Desire. Its first important selling point is pure computing 'grunt', and this is because the HTC Desire uses a 1GHz Snapdragon chipset; thus, it is one of the fastest smartphones currently available.

However, sheer power is only one aspect; what matters more is what the phone allows users to actually do, and the HTC Desire definitely does not disappoint. Because it has a 5 megapixel camera, the HTC Desire is excellent at grabbing superb photographs; photos, as well as videos clips and movies also display beautifully on the 3.7-inch screen.

It is not just about the hardware though (although that hardware is incredible); the HTC Desire comes with a selection of functionalities, included in the OS, Google Android, and these features will let you have more fun and be more productive with your phone. Inclusion of Google Apps, such as Gmail and Microsoft Exchange support, will allow you to instantly pull in any existing friend lists, and easily manage your communications directly through the HTC Desire.

One area where Google Android has always excelled is in the area of its user interface, and the HTC Desire takes that one step further by including the HTC Sense UI, regarded as one of the best mobile interfaces on the market. Common to every Android phone, the HTC Desire uses a selection of finger sweeps and gesture controls all for the purpose of giving the user an intuitive and wonderful experience.

In summary, it is very easy to see why the HTC Desire has earned the name of 'superphone'. It is simply an excellent mobile phone, one that will 'supercharge' the user's everyday life. That combination of sheer processor 'grunt' and unbelievable usability mean that the HTC Desire is one of the best smartphones money can buy.
