HTC A8181 Voucher

Gunnar P. M. Maluf (MG, Brazil) : The model name is just perfect Desire. Desire to keep using it until a better phone comes to the market. The touch screen is very responsive , the phone is sexy, the Droid system (2.2) is amazing!! The only complaint is the battery the doesn't last too much, but mind you that happens with every smart phone if you keep using internet,gps,music, etc. Thank you Amazon!!!!!

D. H. R. Mora (Venezuela) : This is an excellent phone, is truly awesome, but.... I bought this phone (International Version) from this seller FGS, brown and everything, the only problem I got, was that the international version results to be Indian Version, that means, it has only 1 language English (India), Android allowed me to install an application to change the language, however, some text still appears in English, I think it should be explicit in this publication.

Morun : As most of the people writting, it is in fact a great android phone, brother of the Nexus One. AMOLED vs SLCD=> No sense to compare. But potential buyers, specially those located outside the US, must be warned of the fact that international version mean that one item will be randomly taken from stock and shipped to you..and its configuration can be to anyplace , japanesse, chinesse, and in my unfortunatelly case, for arabian market. The difference is the preloaded applications through ROM memory. I bought an international version thinking that maybe, the cellphone could come with some spanish apps or otherwise some european apps (like language system, news, etc.). But when I received the apparatus and turned it on, Problems started. First: Only two languages to choose for operating system; English/Arabic. Fortunately I understand some english and said 'its ok but wish i have found spanish option'. Second: Found some muslim apps, at ROM level and it means that I cannot remove it, Specially one irritating program which reminds the muslim pray time by "singing" a chorus and there were no way to make it to stop neither by forcing it to stop through settings. It made me to be on the verge of flashing the OS. Fortunatelly, and looking through the Web I found the way to make a soft reset and now the program is still there but inactive. Third: Apps related with weather, time and world clock had preloaded arabic cities. In this case it was relatively easy to remove and change cities. Finally, I found some additional apps to compose with spanish dictionary. Finally today I'm fine with the device but after one week of thoroughly visit forums, setting it, etc.

HTC Desire S S510E Voucher

Tom Suarez "Cattigara" (New York) : HTC arrived at such a perfect design --- simple, no-BS, perfect size, gorgeous screen, no nonsense --- that my only fear is that they will decide they need to change it just to change it.
Best of all are the PHYSICAL BUTTONS.
The only weak point is the battery life. But that is part of having a powerful, compact phone -- would I want it to be a bit bigger and heavier to accomodate a bigger battery? Not so sure.
By the way, there is the issue of the Desire on T-Mobile, since the Desire is not compaible with T-Mobile's funny frequency. It WORKS FINE on T-Mobile, but on their 2G, not 3G, network. You have to set the stuff on the phone (easy) and have T-Mobile set it on their end.

Nishanth (Bangalore, India) : And the reasons for that pronouncement are twofold, costs less than half the price unlocked, unbranded and does as much or more without being locked into the confining world of Mr. Jobs. Android, Snapdragon processor (whatever that is-for me it could be a SnapTulip and I wouldnt know the difference. I only know it is fast). Really I don't know what else you can do with a cell phone. The battery is a tad weak but is rumored to improve after a few depletions and charges. Excellent phone.

P. Pruett (California) : This is a great phone, the only thing I don't like is that it does not support T-Mobile 3G frequency for internet access, Edge is very slow. As some reviewers have indicated battery life is not that great, but I don't know of any smart phones that have great battery life when used to access the internet, check e-mail etc. You learn to manage battery capacity by knowing what functionality consumes the most power. All in all excellent device.

HTC Desire HD A9191 Voucher

Christ (Managua, Nicaragua) : Well, I bought this phone for the Android Operative System, It already came with the Froyo Update, all the cool features were enabled (Menu navigation, HD Video Recording, etc...) the widgets are just excellent, useful and some of them are for fun, like the Friend Stream, which allows you to have your Facebook/Twitter updates in a single window, another nice widget is the Weather, it locates you where you are, if I move to a different city, it will show the current position and the weather (Data transmission required). The camera is Fantastic, it take excellent pictures and HD Videos with Great quality.

Lily : The phone itself is not too heavy, very comfortable in your hands and so intuitive to use, the Android OS manage everything in such a fantastic way (Phone alerts, text messages, widgets, visual effect) you really enjoy using the phone, I had some problems setting up the Internet for my Service Provider (I thought I already had active, but no =P)but I finally did it, it works like a charm I am able to access Internet and a very smooth way, use my Mercury Messenger application (Downloaded from Android Market), download music, everything; I really like the way how the phone manage my Emails (Email Widget by HTC), you have the option to see just the headers, a little of the message or the whole message. The "People" Application (By HTC) allows you to link your phone contact with their Facebook/Twitter/Flickr account, you can select which picture from the services you want to use as a contact picture, if the contact updates that picture, it will be updated in your phone too, you can see all the contact's updates from the People application to have more specific information about that contact specifically. The phone Works really fast (It has never froze with me) even though I have many applications running in background, remember that the amount of applications you have running at the same time is proportional to the battery consumption, besides of the Social Network applications it also has some business applications, like the PDF viewer and Quick Office.

Dante : Carrying the new snapdragon processor this is a pretty fast smart phone. When I bought it it was still considered the best mobile around, not sure how it now stands up to the samsung Galaxy. I think they are pretty similar, with the desire being a bit more heavy and feeling a tad more solid in hand. The updated google maps navigation makes it into a decent GPS device as well, getting you the maps and updates for free. You do need to have a connection, though, so when you go abroad you would need a mobile passport or wait for an update that allows you to keep the maps offline.

HTC Windows Phone 8X Voucher

D. Hipp "douzer" (ohio) : I ordered a HTC A8181 from the seller last year,but he mailed me a ADR6275 which is much cheaper than A8181, there is no place to insert a SIM's card and can only be used for US cellular. I wanted to return it, but he did not agree.

Basil A Ba-aziz (SPRINGFIELD GARDENS, NY, US) : I like this product than other because it has (Wi-Fi Hotspot)
the camera not so good all the photos are not good,
the battery not good as it require to be replaced by 1600mah at leaset to be same as iphone in usage.
Android supports several language,
Touch not as good as iphone
phone sound and playing videos at this huge screen is good experiment
consider iphone before buying this product

ManBearGote : When choosing a smart phone i had done a lot of research and came up with two options at the time, HTC and Samsung. Samsung is great, but HTC has a little more innovation and technical aspects which i like and the HTC Desire is great at it. I had previously owned a HTC Desire HD, but it fell and the screen cracked after a couple days of use and even after repairing it, i jus didnt want it again, but the phone was superb, great UI, physical feel and jus overall construction. While searching for a replacement, i came right back to HTC and took a second look at the Desire. Not only that, but my gf wanted a smartphone as well. I ordered the first one from WorldwideDistributors through Amazon, with excellent delivery time and an excellent product too. Moving on the phone now......
Pros of HTC Desire

HTC 8x c620E Voucher

Lyndon A. Diaz (trinidad & tobago) : So.... after much deliberation i decide on the HTC 8181 Desire........ And for the week it worked it was a fantastic handset.
However after just 7 days the speaker in the handset stopped working..... just like that. Phone never fell, never got wet, nothing. The speaker-phone and head phones worked fine but the normal handset speaker... not so much.
So after being a Nokia owner for almost 20 years I regret having switched to HTC... and for US $400. I hope Amazon/HTC provides me with a FULL refund as i am not sure i want another HTC phone.

Ben (New York City) : Fantastic phone, this is my first Android smartphone and I am impressed. Hardware wise I really like the rubber backing, nice and secure grip and not slippery like the plastic or metal most phones have. The metallic brown finish is another plus, looks unique and elegant. Love the HTC clock and weather widget and what to say about Android, just like all Google stuff its simple and intuitive - when using the phone or customizing it everything just makes sense. The phone is extremely responsive when swiping or running apps with no lag, also very good call quality on earpiece but only passable speaker. Screen is very nice, I have the SLCD version and have no complaints. Text is sharp and colors are vibrant. Even though it does not support U.S. 3G I chose the Desire over the Nexus One and Mytouch 4G. I like the Desire's look over the Nexus and MT4G as well as HTC Sense, optical trackpad and slightly updated specs over the Nexus. Funny how the phone is the least used function, Edge is not so bad for browsing but when connected to WiFi on my network it basically turns into a mini tablet for me. Web browsing, checking emails and news, media stuff like youtube, checking up on payments for auctions.. and on top of that its a touchscreen remote for my Squeezebox and desktop. Incredible to say the least.

D. Hipp "douzer" (ohio) : Only two cons with the Desire that most owners have already mentioned - the short battery life and usable memory. Battery life is not horrible but not great either, prob get a full day on moderate use. Memory though is definitely insufficient, only about 140MB of space for apps. Even for a light user like myself it is not enough and Ive ran into the low space warning once or twice. Fortunately the good news is that both these problems can be solved with a little modding (the fun part!), hint: google htc desire root. After a few customizations I am able to install apps to the MicroSD card to save space and get max about 2 days on the battery. Again, the default 1 day battery is not so bad considering the phone is used for so many functions, most smartphones average in that range. But I am happy with the mods that just adds on to an already spectacular phone. Btw I would also recommend the Case-mate Barely There case for the Desire, adds a little more grip and protection but does not affect the size or look (hence the name). Overall extremely satisfied with my purchase and highly recommend the Desire, HTC and Google rocks!

HTC Desire S Android Voucher

Traci Neel : Of all the cell phones I have had, including the iphone 3G, this is absolutely without a doubt my favorite! Its fast, crystal clear, offers great photos and video for a camera phone and is expandable with the micro SD card slot. The touch screen is very responsive and the colors are amazing! It took a bit for me to learn the screens and figure out the phone without the instructions right out of the box, and I still have a lot to learn, but so far it has been easy and entertaining. I have an itouch as well, which I really like, but above all this phone has won my approval.

bob : In comparison to its sister phone, the HD2, this phone runs much smoother. The Android operating system makes every task easy to do, and often offers a widget for fast access from your homescreen. The only downside is the screen size. Whilst 3.7 inches is a good size, the HD2 boasts a 4.3 inch screen, all the better for games and films.
Android currently offers tens of thousands of applications for every task and area of entertainment, many of which are free. With 5 megapixels you would expect good quality photos, however Android does not seem to render the images as well as Windows Mobile.
The HTC Desire comes with Froyo (v 2.2), but offers free updates when Google decide to remember to release it.

Andrew : I was and I have to say I still am one of those die hard old style cell phone guys that always frowned upon these hot electronic gizmos,especially Iphones and stuff. But I have to admit that after playing with a friend of mine brand new HTC Desire the next day I had my own in my hands,while my old beaten Nokia finally rested in a drawer.
It's my very first smart phone,so I guess I may be too much of a newbie in this field to review or compare similar devices,but so far I have to tell you that this phone really works wonder. Extremely easy to setup and personalize,tons of very useful apps to download for free and best of all for a phone destroyer like me it feels well built and solid.Of course I had to buy the silicone case and the plastic film for the glass.
I mainly bought it for my overseas trips,it really happened too many times to find myself in need of an internet connection. The only critic I have is the battery life. You have to remember to plug the thing in when you come back at home at night. Or,if you kept wi-fi,bluetooth and the works on all day you may need a socket a lot earlier.
Many complained about bad phone reception but I have had no issues so far,even if I live in a coastal/mountain area where bad cell phone reception is the rule.

HTC Desire C Android Voucher

If you put a navigation app like IGO you are done
No more space for additional apps
In addition heat up when gps apps are active or intensive web activity
And ran out of battery.

Don't if you expect more

zubi94 : Hi, HTC Desire is a best of the best, except it has so many software issue, including camera pics keep disappearing and so many other users are facing the same issue but no explanation from HTC due its open source, think before u buy. i am also in tension spent $545 and this is what i ma getting a tension.

Ali Simsek : It was a gift. ATT store had hard time to make it work to receive data. Then it worked fine. But it stopped ringing after 1 month. People were complaining that I was not hearing their calls. Battery life is worse than any phone.Also battery is not easily removable. You may break the door if you do nt ay attention when removing. You cannot browse the Internet .It is slowwww because it is not 3G. It is a nice looking phone and nice screen but it is not worth more than $100.00 ( similar ATT Inspire) .
