The Legend is the closest rival featuring the same Android operating system with the new HD Mini opting instead for the Windows Mobile 6.5 platform.

The HTC Desire is made for internet. The 3.7” screen makes browsing easy and sites looks great on the high-resolution display. The ‘pinch to zoom’ feature lets you focus on exactly what you want and it’s great for multi-tasking – so you can check out Facebook while Spotify runs in the background.

The HTC Desire is a Google Android phone so Google’s best apps are preloaded and Google Mail gets sent straight to your phone. You can also customise it with a choice of more than 20,000 apps from Android Market; or switch between multiple home screens with live widgets, apps and web links, by swiping your finger left and right.

The Friend Stream feature lets you interact with friends across multiple social networks and they’re all combined in a single, easy-to-follow stream of updates, photos, posts and shared links. Plus, you’ll be able to save time when you send updates because a single comment gets posted on both Facebook and Twitter.
