HTC Desire for USA, as an A8181, Unlocked GSM Android Phone with 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon

Good news for HTC Android smartphone’s lovers in USA, now you can buy the GSM HTC Desire A8181 device and the handset is unlocked. So now you can use this smartphone using T-Mobile, AT&T, and other GSM cards in the World. This unlocked cell phone runs on quadband frequencies 850/900/1800/1900 MHz of GSM, and HSPA/WCDMA at 900/2100 MHz.

The Desire comes with a 3.7 inches AMOLED multi-touch screen display at 480 x 800 pixels resolution, accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate, proximity sensor for auto turn-off, and optical trackball.

I chose HTC Want as an alternative of iPhone4 since the open Android market appeared extra fascinating and energetic than the controlled Apple Retailer approach. After few weeks of usage Desire appears to be fairly even with iPhone4 in terms of usability and applications. The perfect characteristic by far is the nice internet searching experience. I am not shocked that few reviews even say that Desire is best for web shopping than iPhone4. Want actually works for customers like me who spend loads of time reading blogs, news etc. with their phone. The screen is nice, telephone is fast, responsive and zooming works well. Just some actually heavy websites are slow or have bother loading.

Other HTC Desire A8181 features include a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash and also geotagging, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, A-GPS support, Stereo FM radio with RDS, MP3/AAC+/WAV/WMA9 player, MP4/H.263/H.264/WMV9/DivX player, Facebook, Flickr, Twitter applications, Voice memo, Digital compass, Dedicated search key, microSD (TransFlash) support up to 16GB, and 3.5 mm stereo audio jack.
