Part 1 of 3
Hello people, welcome to the least frequently updated blog in the world! Let me dive right into the topic here:
There's a lot of talk going on about one particular model at the moment, with multiple sources claiming it to be the best phone in the market right now. (5 July 2010)
Enter the HTC Desire. Who on earth would have thunk that a Taiwanese company like HTC who used to come up with low-res, non-responsive WindowsMobile devices could pin the likes of Nokia and Sony Ericsson to the dirt floor!
As of this date, the Desire is ranked topmost on the list of phones on www.testfreaks.com ranked in order of freakscore. Whazzat? Here's the explanation:
As you can see, information is taken from a large number of sources and assembled, so I tend to trust this particular site. Here's a screenshot of the site:
The Desire, according to them, has scored 10 on 10.
And here's another link attesting the Desire's supremacy.
So it's really the best? The VERY BEST?? Of course, that is subjective.. And nothing on earth can retain number one position for too long. Burj Dubai um.. Khalifa will be challenged.. But let me just get into a few of the details here.
Appearances:
The first thing one notices about the phone also unfortunately happens to be one it falls behind in: its outward appearance. Have a look:
Placed next to marvels of design like the HTC Legend and the Phillips X810, it looks a little lackluster. It doesn't look bad, it just looks unimpressive. You might have noticed that in the picture above the display is off. I chose that pic to demonstrate the dull body, because once the screen comes to life, one stops looking at the body.
The display is 3.7" inches of pure awesomeness. The native resolution is 480x800 pixels. The AMOLED technology brings to you best-in-class clarity with dazzling contrasts. It beats any LCD screen hands down. To get an idea of how an AMOLED screen is better than normal LCD, visit this link. Its only present competition is from the 'Super'-AMOLED technology introduced by Samsung, which can be seen in some of its models like the Galaxy and Wave. In the future, I'd be pretty excited about the Super AMOLED technology being imitated by mainstream phones, but as long as they are on Samsung models I am not interested.
Notice how vibrant the screen looks. Believe me, the quality of the display is the most important parameter to decide between options. No matter what features it has, if the display is poor, you'll end up being dissatisfied with the purchase. (Speaking from experience here)
You totally ignored the body in the above picture didn't you.
