Great phone
Phone owned for less than a year

The desire is a great phone even more so now that it has the 2.2 Froyo update. The battery life can be a little bad depending on what your doing. I have ATK (advanced task killer) installed and I only have to charge it once a day unless I get bored and play lots of games. The camera is great as in the camcorder. Phone size and weight is one of the best. Even with a impact series otter box on it. The case doesn't over power the phone at all and make it akward. The reception for the desire is one of the best for HTC.

Love the phone, hate the memory
Phone owned for less than a year

I bought this phone to replace my BlackBerry Bold that was not working properly. The phone is nice and light. It has a beautiful screen. It did take me a while to adjust to the Android operating system, but I now love it.

My biggest problem with the phone is the memory... or lack of memory. The phone has 512 MB of memory. The problem is less than 180 MB is available to the user. It is taken up by HTC applications and also how the memory is formatted. Once I installed a few applications, connected my GMail, Twitter, and Facebook accounts, I started receiving low memory warnings.

The battery life is okay with me getting 6-8 hours of normal usage on the standard battery (WiFi and Bluetooth both enable). I did but and extended battery and now I can go for a full day without recharging.

Over all it is a decent phone but if you are wanting to use a lot of applications, I would look to another phone with multiple GB of internal memory.

If your a texter, deleting big conversations takes forrrever. Thats the only downfall. Other than that all the other features are great. not too big not to small size. touch screen is responsive. Never lost a call. Battery is good if you turn internet off when not in use
