HTC Desire

HTC Desire is really Google's much-touted Nexus One under the hood. But, truth be told, despite HTC's considerably lower profile among the general public, the Desire has several features that mark it out as superior not just to Google's smart phone debut, but also to the vast majority of smartphones available on planet earth.

Features:
3.7in OLED screen offers 480 x 800 pixels
119 x 60 x 12mm and 135g weight
micro USB power/sync
3.5mm headphone jack and power/standby button on top. Android 2.1 (Éclair) operating system

There are seven home pages rather than the usual three (or the Nexus' five), each of which can be populated with standard Android widgets plus a few specials from HTC. When you pinch any of the homepages inwards you get all seven in one, which can help if you've forgotten what you've put where. It's easy enough to brush between home pages in any case.
