Well awnsering the author, for me the best bits of the desire are..it’s general building quality, the design, the slim, the screen and the sense UI. The processors and batterya life are always evolving, it’s true that one piece of hardware th is days can age fast, but if you think like that ‘maerio lol’ than wait for another life, things will be much better.

For NOW and this is NOW, the Best is for sure the HTC….EVO 4G lol then Desire rsrsrsrs

Well, I can personally attest to the fact that the Snapdragon chip (as used in my HD2) is incredibly fast. I wasn;t quite prepared for how fast it is, and anyone who gets one won’t be disappointed. But I agree completely about it being a battery hog. But, like much in life, it’s a trade-off: increased power for less battery life.

I’d say it’s a worthwhile trade, myself, but then that’s me.

Yeah, the processor is the only ‘weak link’ in the whole setup. Is a total overkill. Now, on first sight, one might think the extra power is a good thing, however after the device has been ‘settled in’ with the customary programs, the very short battery time will disappoint beyond belief. The Snapdragon is a cheap development of the cortex8 series. If you really want state of the art wait for the N8 (cortex9 active twincore). It will run all of the programs the android version does and it will last twice as long. (not to mention the easy programming – if you can make a web site you can write a application for symbian3)

it looks like 50% of the worlds population have no sense of humour either.

Great observations, in general! Covers all the major points without being long-winded like so many other Htc Desire posts around.

However, I SEVERELY resent your commentary on processors:
“Now I don’t really know what this is, being female and all…”

Fair enough if any author doesn’t know some of the technical nuances and chooses to admit their non-understanding – that is neither here nor there – but do NOT speak on behalf of 50% of the world’s population. The ignorance is your own.
