The new Android based HTC Desire is now available for developers who want to test their new mobile applications on Perfecto Mobile’s Handset Cloud Service.
The HTC Desire has been described as the older brother of the HTC Legend. According to TechRadar the device's seven homescreens that can be customized with widgets icons and apps, create a unique experience for each user. The so called “Leap View” enables users to view all seven screens at once by just pinching the screen.
The reviewer also appreciates the high level of intuition of the touchscreen options for messaging and the fact that the large and expansive screen makes typing very convenient. He added, however, that you can’t save SMS to the microSD card.
Charles Kloet from CNET UK was excited about the “excellent address book that pulls in contacts and photos from Outlook, Facebook, Gmail and Flickr” but was annoyed by the fact that the Outlook email and other email accounts cannot be merged into one single inbox.
Further he believes that “the AMOLED screen's brightness is blindingly impressive” only indoors” but “that the display is almost impossible to see in sunlight.”
Engadget concluded saying that “The Desire is yet another fine piece of work from HTC – build quality is top notch as usual, and there's little to complain about the software except for the Flash performance.”
