Introducing The New Htc Desire – A Nexus Clone With Sense
HTC has done it again to embarrass the big five with a definitive Android smartphone it announced at the recent Mobile World Congress. This time, it’s a confirmation of the rumored HTC Bravo which is now officially the HTC Desire. The more tech savvy members of the mobile phone community have been quick to spot the uncanny affinity of the Desire with the Google Nexus One for which HTC was the OEM, abandoning the HTC Passion to become the Nexus One.
It’s not surprising that the two gets some comparative discussions in online mobile sites but at the end of the day, either smartphones are exquisite Android specimens that define how an upscale smartphone should be.
