The HTC Desire undoubtedly can claim to be the one smartphone that proved to be the turning point in the growth of the mobile phone industry itself. It is also the first ever that phone device that fulfilled to the hilt the concept that we call as a smartphone. And thereby set the standards for the rest of the industry to follow.
HTC Corporation, managed to pack in, probably for the first time, practically everything that you recognize as a software or a hardware into this highly sophisticated looking phone device. The HTC Desire has the Android 2.1 Eclair version of the operating system. The 1 Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor doing the drivng the software bit to perfection.
The five mega pixel camera with its 720p high definition video capture ability as well as the versatile media player and the numerous widgets all only ended up in further impressing the potential buyer. The Facebook integration aside, you also the now become very popular Friends Stream option in the HTC Desire. You can also look forward to sharing your photographs through and on Facebook, Flickr and Twitter. And do video sharing on YouTube and do HTC Peep for Twittering.

If HTC has been generous when it came to stuffing the Desire with all kinds of highly desirous features and specifications, it has been extremely stingy when it came to the pricing bid.

Besides cheap contracts, there are plenty of other attractive HTC Desire deals like the SIM free and the pay as you go mobile phones.
