HTC Desire Mobile Handset Overview

The HTC Desire S is definitely a strong, slim phone made out of a single block of aluminium.



The design will be familiar to anyone who's played with or owned its previous incarnation, the original HTC Desire, with smooth, cuving edges and a cool metal feel to the touch. However, small adjustments have been made to the successor: the Desire S has lost the clickable buttons at the bottom of the handset and replaced them with touch sensitive icons, and the optical trackball has gone, too, resulting in a phone that is marginally lighter (130 grams) and smaller (115mm x 59.8mm x 11.6mm) than its predecessor.



As sequel to the hugely-popular Desire, HTC's latest Android handset has a hard act to follow. The younger-brother to the HTC Desire S was the star of MWC 2010, but with the likes of the Wildfire S and Incredible S also taking to the stage in 2011, the launch of the Gingerbread handset failed to incite the same levels of interest. Still, as a technical improvement in every aspect, is the HTC Desire S a phone to get excited about?

The Desire S (aka Desire 2) comes with an all new aluminium unibody design, an outfit that first made its debut on 2010's HTC Legend. With its slick metal finish the HTC Desire S feels much more premium than its older brother, and just as compact at 11.6mm thick. This could not be on par with the super-skinny Galaxy S II or Xperia arc, but its weigtiness adds to its high-end, durable feel.



The display is truly a step down in the original Desire (at its initial launch), owing to the global shortage of AMOLED screens.



The person can use many methods of communication on the Desire S to communicate with friends, family members & professionals on the move. There are many call features & options, plus a vast variety of messaging services & there is truly a friends stream for quick communication with friends & popular contacts. The Desire S has integrated Facebook & Twitter applications accessible for your consumer. Its messaging services incorporate a text messaging service, instant messaging, multimedia picture & video messaging & a individual friendly email service. The email feature supports a push direct emails & Gmail support. The person can use more than one email account on their Smartphone with one inbox as the email accounts are colour coded for a visible difference between accounts.



The Desire S arrives with 1.1 gigabytes of internal memory with 768 megabytes of RAM plus the Smartphone's memory could be extended further by inserting 32 megabytes of external memory using a compatible MicroSD card. Up to 9.8 of talk time or 430 hours of standby battery is likely to be enjoyed when the HTC Desire S is used over a GSM network with a full battery. Over a 3G network the consumer can expect to gain up to 7 hours of talk time or 455 hours of standby time. Browsing the Net is manufactured easy on the Desire S as it comes with a pinch & zoom touch display control, Google reader & a Google search.



The battery on the Desire S has had a slight upgrade from your original Desire, boosting up from 1400 mAh to 1500 mAh, which would normally mean the phone could keep going for longer off a single charge.



There's also an upgraded keypad onboard, with is not only much-more accurate, but lands equipped with HTC's first-class spell checker. None of that iPhone predictive-text nonsense.

A Bluetooth connection is genuinely a wireless connection between two compatible devices, & this connection allows the person to transfer data between the HTC Desire S & other devices which requires no cables, plus the two devices must be up to 10 metres apart during the transfer for this wireless connection to work.
