HTC Desire
The HTC Desire is well named, as it's probably at the top of every Android fan's wish list. With a 3.7in AMOLED screen, a 1GHz processor, a 5-megapixel camera and room for up to 32GB of storage, it's got the specs to compete with anything on the market today.
Its headline features are very similar to Google's Nexus One, which isn't surprising as HTC manufactures both phones. However, there are a few differences: unlike the Nexus One, it doesn't support US 3G bands, so if you travel to the US you'll be stuck using EDGE or hunting for WiFi hotspots. It also lacks the voice-to-text abilities of the Nexus One, which includes the noise-cancelling microphone. It does however include an FM radio, something the Nexus One lacks.
Of course, the phone many people will compare the Desire against is Apple's iPhone, which will get an update later this year to add multi-tasking - a feature Android handsets have had from the start. In terms of build quality, the Desire isn't as attractive as the iPhone; unlike HTC's Legend, with its aluminium body, the Desire has a largely plastic casing, and the battery cover feels especially flimsy.
