If you're looking for a great Android™ experience - and an iPhone alternative - choose the slim but powerful HTC Desire.

Set the Desire up how you want it

Like all Android phones and iPhones, the HTC Desire lets you customise your homescreens to suit your personal needs. But on the premium Android phones like the Desire, the difference is that you get as many as seven homescreens to use. It's easy to drag and drop apps or shortcuts onto each of these screens - and set up your Desire exactly the way you want it. And because the Desire has one of the largest screens of any Android phone (at 3.7"", it's bigger than the HTC Legend, HTC Wildfire.

Lots of apps to choose from
As with other Android phones, you can download apps and games straight to your HTC Desire from Android Market?. There are over 100,000 apps to choose from, so there's something for everyone - and most of them are free, too. If you're a sports fan, you can pick an app that gives you all the results as they happen. Or if you're looking for a bargain, you could download an app that lets you check prices online. And say you've gone out for a curry with friends - but after the meal you can't remember where you've parked the car (let's face it, we've all done that). Well, there's even an app that helps you find it.

Keep your contacts in one place

On the HTC Desire you can keep all your contacts' information together in one place - so you won't need to hunt around for ages to find it. Just select someone's name and you'll get all their emails, texts, picture messages, chat, tweets and Facebook updates in a flash. This is a special HTC feature - so you won't find it on other Android phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S or the Sony Ericsson X10.

Instant access to social networks
You'll get on your favourite social networking sites right away with the HTC Desire. Simply add the apps from Android Market? to your homescreen. There's no need to log in or load the latest updates - the Desire does it all for you.

Do stuff faster with the Desire

Just like your broadband at home, the HTC Desire lets you do everything speedily. That's because the Desire comes with a powerful 1 GHz processor - which is faster than the ones you get on similar Android phones like the HTC Wildfire. It means you can do more multi-tasking without everything slowing down. So you'll be able to use the web and your apps, play games and listen to music all at the same time - without having to close anything.

Built for business and pleasure
The HTC Desire helps you plan your working life as well as your social arrangements. You can synchronise the Desire with your PC, and get your email, calendar appointments and contacts right there on your phone. So it's easy to organise your business priorities - even while you're out of the office. Also, you'll find the large 3.7 inch touchscreen is just as good for viewing work documents as it is for family photos. And when you want to see things in more detail, just pinch the Desire's screen - then zoom in as far as you want to go.
