plz dont buy.......!
Phone owned for more than a year

Hello Friends, please do not buy HTC phones as they are not good & you will find the worst sales after service. I had purchased HTC Desire V phone & suffered a lot. This phone has “hang issue”, its get switched off frequently. As initially it was having good performance I had referred my friends & three of them too purchased same model and now they are also facing the same problem. I have sent my mobile to service centre thrice in a year for same issue still the issue has not resolved. Really don’t know what HTC technicians doing. Now fourth time they have asked me to pay INR 10,500 as repair charges. Though the mobile is not in market if we check with shop in case they have that model available they are selling at 10,000, where as HTC team is asking repairing charges 10,500/- .
So take a good decision & buy other brand phone but pls don’t buy HTC phones..
For more details you can write me on kharatakshay.agri@gmail.com

Desire V bellow average smartphone
Phone owned for more than a year

I have had it for 1 year. one major drowback is that it reboots several times by itself, as I understood, the weak processor is the reason of it. the second con is that it has not the front facing camera and it is sluggish. battery life I would say is bellow average, if you will use it for surfing and litthe gaming, it will last half a day not more. Otherwise for this price it is not bad, if you dont have very big expectations.One positive is that it has very nice sound due to beats audio integrated system which works perfect with original HTC headphones. So if you need cheap Phone only for texting and for leasning Music, you will probably go for it.
