Overview of HTC Desire HD
THE HTC DESIRE HD HAS NOW BEEN DISCONTINUED - WE RECOMMEND THE HTC SENSATION AS THE REPLACEMENT DEVICE - AVAILABLE HERE.
If you want the ultimate in mobile multimedia and connectivity the HTC Desire HD fulfills your needs. It has all the features you need to be able to enjoy your media and stay in touch with your friends, family and business contacts.
Powered by the Android 2.2 (Froyo) operating system and enhanced with the HTC Sense interface. The HTC Desire HD enables you to keep in contact with all your business contacts and friends on one device. The Android operating system can be customized to your own individual requirements. Download new apps directly to the Desire HD from the Android Market and make it your own.
We all need to keep in contact and the HTC Desire HD ensures that this is simple with its fast 3G/HSPA connectivity and WiFi b/g/n. It brings a vibrant and responsive web browsing experience to mobile users.
Enjoy being able to take high quality photos with the integrated 8 mega pixel camera, featuring a 2 x LED flashlight and autofocus, to ensure you get the perfect picture. Or record high definition video at 720p resolution to impress your friends.
There is no need to worry about storing your media as the HTC Desire HD benefits from 1.5GB of internal storage. It provides plenty of space to store your favourite photos, videos or music, with additional storage being available via the SD 2.0 compatible microSD slot.
Having all your favourite photos and videos with you is great, but you need a quality display to view them. The HTC Desire HD excels at this with a 4.3 inch touch screen that has a resolution of 480 x 800, bringing your photos and videos to life.
Enjoy your music like never before with the integrated Dolby Mobile and SRS Surround Sound. Together they bring a level of audio experience to the mobile user, making listening to your music collection even more enjoyable.

" I liked this HTC flagship very much and was going to order it to replace my present HTC Desire but I changed my opinion about this smartphone when I read impartial review of it on "mobile-review.com" (unfortunately, in Russian only at present time). It is a pitty that Desire HD has not got enough qualitative camera and built-in sound to listen to the music via earphones, in addition, it's got very poor accumulator on board, especially for it's comparatively high price. |

With regards to battery life this phone has a restart function which turns off all apps not being used and if turning off wifi when not using it you could get around 2 days use out of this phone. Absolutely brill would recommend to anyone thinking of upgrading!" |
