Having taken delivery of the HTC Desire yesterday, it would be a mistake to describe myself terribly shocked by the features it abilities of the device. I did enough research before delivery to know most of the key details. Nonetheless, I wasn’t quite prepared for the areas in which the Desire significantly betters the iPhone [...]
