HTC Desire Joins the Google Nexus One

March 5, 2010 - PRLog -- The new HTC Desire has now been allocated a confirmed release date as a SIM Free and unlocked HTC phone, this competitor to the mighty Google Nexus One (which is also manufactured by HTC) adds in a couple of extras over its competition.

The HTC Desire looks physically and on paper very similar to the Nexus One Google phone but HTC have added in their much loved Sense user interface found in previous models such as the HTC HD for smooth menu navigation and application organisation.

Also, the Desire will feature built-in support for Flash whilst the Android powered Google Nexus One waits for Adobe to support flash this summer. The overall features of both phones are very similar, both offering a good 5.0 mega pixel camera and vivid 3.7 inch AMOLED touch screen display.

There is also the option to capture high quality HD (high definition) video as well as watch movies on the high resolution display.

As an Android 2.1 OS phone, the same as the Nexus One the HTC Desire supports the Google Earth application as well as giving access to a huge array of new applications via the Android Market.

Other Google services include GoogleMail and GoogleTalk and also support for YouTube. There’s also support for GoogleGoggles, a neat application that lets you snap a picture with the phones camera for an instant image search on Google.

HTC are busy getting another batch of new phones ready for release alongside the Desire which include the forthcoming HTC HD Mini and HTC Legend all of which are pencilled in for around the same time for launch.

The release date for the HTC Desire as a SIM Free phone is 12/04/10, there is already confirmation of a launch price of £439.99 although this is subject to change. The HTC Legend and HTC HD Mini are also due at around the same time with confirmation to follow.

The SIM Free HTC desire is a network unlocked mobile phone, this allows the Desire to be used on either pay monthly or pay as you go SIM cards from any network carrier.

The price may look expensive but remember there are no network subsidies when buying SIM Free phones, they can be used on any network and are yours to keep.

There is already talk from the networks as to who will be supporting the HTC Desire, these include confirmation from T-Mobile and Orange as well as Vodafone for releases around early to mid April.
