HTC has announced latest top end smartphone, the Desire HD which is from the popular HTC Desire range including other Smartphones such as the HTC Desire and the HTC Desire Z. The Desire HD is an Android phone which comes with an attractive aluminium case and supports the latest 2.2 "Froyo" version of Google's Android OS.

This mobile phone on the whole is a large gadget, not to be called a pocket friendly phone, but the massive structure is simply gorgeous. It measures 123 x 68 x 11.8mm which definitely persuades us to call it a slim phone and the weight is 157g. The HTC Desire HD sports a 4.3 inch S-LCD capacitive touchscreen which can display up to 16M colors with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. This size seems tailor-made for browsing the internet or watching movies on your travels.

The amazing HTC Sense interface allows you to customize the home screen or download widgets. And you can input data either numeric or alphabetic using the virtual keyboard or keypad on the touch screen. It can be said that HTC Desire HD2 has neared the touch screen experience of Apple iPhone, thanks to the massive processor that ...
... almost eliminates lag time. It also features accelerometer which changes orientation modes when you rotate the phone. The proximity sensor automatically locks the keypad when you are talking on the phone. The multi touch gestures can be used with the phone to activate certain menus such as pinching for zooming.

When it comes to communication, the HTC Desire HD provides a variety of messaging service such as SMS, MMS, Email, Push Email and instant messaging which can be sent easily using relevant editors on the phone. This phone also packs in the excellent social networking integration, which means you can access to Facebook and Twitter quickly and easily. You can keep track on your friends' recent updates on Facebook and enjoy reading tweets by others.

Camera wise, you will find a 8 megapixel camera on the back of this mobile phone. The new camera interface looks good and is easy to get around with many imaging focused features including a touch screen pinch to zoom, face detection setting, automatic focus & a dual LED flash option. Images look great on the big screen, whilst it can also record 720p video. But there is no dedicated camera key on the phone, meaning you can only turn to the onscreen option, which makes it inconvenient to take pictures of yourself.

The music player is the same one we've seen on other Android devices from HTC, supporting MP3, WAV, MIDI, AAC, OGG & WMA9 formats. It's nothing special, but it does the job well. And now you get the option of SRS surround sound enhancement and Dolby Mobile, as well as an equaliser to provides a clear and wonderful sound experience either over the speakers or via a set of headphones.

In terms of connectivity, the HTC Desire HD support 3G, EDGE & GPRS, WiFi technology which provide you with high speed rates when access to the Internet or transferring data between two connected devices. You can also connect your Desire HD mobile phone to other compatible devices via micro USB or a Bluetooth connection. It is also equipped with an integrated GPS navigation along with maps to guide your direction.

The battery of this phone can provide up to 5 hours and 30 minutes of talk time when used over a 3G network (9 hours and 15 minutes for 2G) and up to 420 hours of standby time over 3G (490 hours for 2G). There is 1.5 gigabytes of internal memory and the Desire HD comes with 768 megabytes of RAM. But you can expand the memory up to 32GB via a microSD card.
