One of the greatest features of the HTC Desire is the extent to which you can customize it. The Android operating system is designed for optimum efficiency when multitasking. You don’t have to worry about how to close an app you aren’t using: Android will take care of that in the background. You can improve battery life by turning off GPS and Wi-Fi when you aren’t using them. You can even choose from three different keyboard settings.
The HTC Desire allows you to easily create your own ring tones and alarms from mp3 files as easily as hooking an usb cord to your pc or laptop. And the Search key allows you to quickly search either your phone or the Internet.
The HTC Desire uses both widgets and programs. One popular widget is the weather widget. You can also create folders to group similar programs and widgets and reduce clutter on your desktop.
