    Being the lucky (and patient) owner of HTC Hero, I just couldn't get around HTC Desire.

    Desired by the Hero


    First of all, it seems to me that Desire is some kind of work on the bugs of HTC Hero and Nexus One.
    Something was better, something remained the same. There are flaws. For example - changing memory cards only if you remove the battery. I also consider the lack of buttons to receive and end calls. IPhone users are accustomed to on-screen, but I have already lost the habit.
    The screen is gorgeous. Resolution class. The picture is juicy and nice. Watch movies, read books, and just wandering around the menu is lovely!
    And also - animated wallpapers! Beauty! And respond to music, touch and (or) time of day!
    Here is a photo to compare HTC Hero and HTC Desire:


    And here is a video where I show animated wallpapers and compare the speed of work with Hero:

    Fast and stylish


    They can throw apples at me, but the design seems to me more stylish than an iPhone. More pleasant to the touch. More seasoned ... Not so concise, but more collected.
    The assembly of the device is excellent. Nothing creaks. Everything is in place and in place.
    As usual with HTC, the box is in the form of a brick (hello, Bumburum): The


    communicator is neatly inside: The


    entire kit is also packed: charger, headset, cable, instructions:


    Everything is already familiar, isn't it?










    Moving from an iPhone or hero (and it seems to me that there will be a lot of people moving from these communicators) - you will not experience any inconvenience (except, perhaps, the lack of receive and end calls buttons).
    On the contrary. You will get speed, beauty ... lust !!!

    An optical trackball is more convenient than a Hero ball. There is no feedback, but it is not really needed here either.
    The camera shoots well. I enclose links to the original photos. And also - an example of a video of maximum quality. The speed of the device is impressive. No wonder there is a snapshot inside. He gives out power. He is fast, he is smooth ... The whole animation is beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Using the device is a pleasure. Is that the battery will have to be charged every 1.5-2 days. Well, yes, I’ve gotten used to it for a long time. The ringer volume and vibration strength are average. Normal Heard on the street. Feels in a jacket. The rest is a typical Android device. 2.1 and HTC Sense. Hero users understand what I mean ...
