HTC Desire on TELUS soon

July 20th, 2010

TELUS has announced recently that they will be coming out with the Unlocked HTC (Desire) on their network which will bring 3G and many other features along with it. In terms of pricing, this phone will be comparable with the Nexus one but does not have that high a quality as compared to the Unlocked Motorola Droid (X.) For the customers there will be an added plus of the Sense UI which will allow the customization of the home page. The US customers have a special chance to get their hands on this one by way of an import from Canada as this was not available on the US Cellular. They would have to import a European version otherwise.

As we said earlier, this phone will have the Sense UI coming with it and therefore you can then customize your phone in any way as it will be running on Android. There will be a number of changeable layouts and widgets, custom home screens and a large number of options which will allow you to enhance the performance of your Android device. The specs on this one are more or less the same as other Android models. As said earlier, the Desire will come with the new Android OS which is known as the Froyo or the Android 2.1. Other than this, there are also the usual features of the nature of GPS and Wi-Fi connectivity. As for performance, this phone does have a slight draw back as the Flash performance, we feel, is slightly lacking. The Sense layout is by far the best on the Android device and this is where the phone scores above the Nexus one unlocked handset.

There is no official date which has been set for this phone’s release. However, since it will be coming with the back to school collection, we can assume that it will show up before August.
