The Desire is yet another fine piece of work from HTC – build quality is top notch as usual, and there's little to complain about the software except for the Flash performance.

The Desire is one of the fastest Android phones on the market. ... it's definitely worthy of your desire—however embarrassing the name may be.

The HTC Desire will live up to its hype for many. As an alternative to the iPhone, you'll find it offers plenty of power, an excellent browsing experience and plenty of customisation opportunities.

It’s hard not to be convinced by the HTC Desire; this isn’t just “good for an Android device”, it’s brilliant period ... our biggest complaint, but with some experimental tweaking you’ll undoubtedly find a setup that gets you through the day with the features you most value active.

In short, this is a phenomenal phone - one of the best we've ever had on TechRadar. Usually when we like a phone on the first use, we end up horribly disappointed after a little time with it, but the HTC Desire kept on performing and achieving when we thought it wouldn't.
