Desired by the Hero

First of all, it seems to me that Desire is some kind of work on the bugs of HTC Hero and Nexus One.

Something succeeded better, something remained the same. There are shortcomings. For example - changing memory cards only if you remove the battery. I also consider the lack of receiving and rejecting buttons as a drawback. IPhone users are accustomed to the screen, and I already lost the habit.

The screen is gorgeous. Resolution class. The picture is juicy and pleasant. Watch movies, read books, and just wandering around the menu is lovely!

And also - animated wallpaper! Beauty! And react to music, touch and (or) time of day!

Here is a photo for comparing HTC Hero and HTC Desire:





And here is a video where I show animated wallpapers and compare the speed of working with Hero:

Fast and stylish

I can be showered with apples, but the designer seems to me more stylish than the iPhone. More pleasant to the touch. More seasoned ... Not so concise, but more collected.

The assembly at the device is beautiful. No squeaks. Everything is in place and in place.

As usual with HTC, the brick box (hello, Bumburum):





Inside is a neat communicator:





And also the whole set is laid: charger, headset, cable, instructions:





Everything is already familiar, is not it?





















Passing from an iPhone or a hero (and it seems to me that there will be a lot of migrating from these communicators) - you will not experience any inconvenience (except, perhaps, for the lack of buttons for receiving and canceling a call).

On the contrary. You will get speed, beauty ... lust !!!



Optical trackball - more convenient ball Hero. There is no feedback, but it doesn’t really need it either.

The camera shoots well. I enclose links to the originals of photos.





And also - an example of video of maximum quality.



The speed of the device is impressive. No wonder there is a snapdragon inside. It gives power. He is fast, he is smooth ... The whole animation is beautiful and pleases the eye.

Using the device is a pleasure. Is that the battery will have to be charged every 1.5-2 days. Well, I'm used to this for a long time.

Ring volume and vibration power is average. Normal Heard on the street. Feels in a jacket.



The rest is a typical Android communicator. 2.1 and HTC Sense. Hero users understand what I mean ...
