Pocket-Lint: The HTC Desire was the phone of 2010. It got in early, was considerably better than the competition and by the end of the year was still very much holding it’s own against the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S and the Apple iPhone 4. Fast forward a year and the marketplace and the choice offered to consumers is very different. The Desire now has plenty of competition, from within HTC and other manufacturers. Within HTC it’s got the larger screened HTC Desire HD and the HTC Incredible S to contend with.
AppSplit: "HTC Desire HD and Desire S are receiving a new update by HTC in UK. Well, it is not an Android Ice Cream Sandwich update yet but the latest update brings the new version of HTC Sense UI."
Chadi Abou Nohra of GIGAlb, "The Desire S is here, and it somehow has big shoes to fill. The Desire is in fact Nexus One's twin brother. Well built, well equipped, a best-seller.
To make it quick, the Desire S is a phone you'll immediately like. However, no illusions here. The Desire S will surely not have the same impact the Desire had a few months back. It comes to compete with a market heading towards dual-core devices and features-stuffed handhelds."
The HTC Desire S is the successor to one of HTC’s most popular European phones. The original Desire featured top specs for the time, along with a prettier, more accessible Android thanks to the HTC Sense UI. Launching just as Android’s market share was starting to explode, the phone saw massive sales throughout 2010, and gave many in Europe and Asia their first introduction to the platform.
