HTC Desire HD smartphone

The HTC Desire HD builds on the original Desire by adding a larger screen and updated software. Aside from its questionable battery life, most of the Desire HD's flaws are minor. The HTC Desire HD is a multimedia and Web powerhouse; it is one of the best smartphones on the market.

The first aspect of the HTC Desire HD that will grab your attention is the fact that it is big. The massive, 4.3in screen gives this smartphone a rather large footprint, though HTC's design team does deserve credit for giving the Desire HD an ergonomic design. The HTC Desire HD's body is constructed from a single piece of aluminum. In addition to looking and feeling every bit a premium piece of industrial design, the finish holds up well to the elements and is not easy to scratch or mark.

The HTC Desire HD has a 4.3in SLCD screen, making it one of the largest Android smartphones currently available on the market. The SLCD display lacks the vibrancy of the Samsung Galaxy S's Super AMOLED screen and the iPhone 4's IPS screen, but its sheer size and responsiveness make it a winner.

The HTC Desire HD is one of the first Android smartphones to ship with the latest version of the Google Android platform: 2.2 or "Froyo". This adds full Flash support, built-in wireless tethering, and the ability to store supported third-party apps on your SD card.
