Product ReviewsHTC Desire HD - 1.5GB - Brown (Unlocked) Smartphone

Good cheep phone, latest OS, can live without NFC.

I needed a new phone as mine died, but didn't want to be tied to some expensive contract.
I don't need some over priced quad core phone, and knew that with a little bit of tinkering (thanks to XDA) I could change the OS to jellybean 4.2.2, which I have now done.
Pro's
Decent size
Change the OS
Low cost phone for latest OS
All features work ie GPS-BT-WIFI.
8MP Camera
Unlocked to any network

Cons
A little outdated now
No NFC
Battery not brilliant (although can get about 38hrs with Sense based Rom)
Screen not as good as the newer phones

So bought the phone for £85, pay £10 per month for contract from T-mobile which works out over 2 years to £325 total.
Would have spent £26 per month for contract phone, which works out at £624 total, saved £299.Read full review...

Cheap and cheerful, god buy

Great phone, nice big screen fantastic camera,easy to use, poor battery life as to be expected of an older smart phone. Over all cheap and cheerful a good buy for under £90. New battery's are cheap and plenty full on web.Read full review...

Good product!

This phone has everything that i need, it's fast, great camera, big screen and runs Android.

The only two negative points are, the battery life, which is common in the smartphones and the fact of HTC had stoped the software updates.

The rest is great and quite good.Read full review...

Works Well.

Does what I want it to. Phone and text. I am not a user with complicated demands on a mobile.
Also has a good diary with appointment reminders.

wicked value!!

In a nutshell : "SMART" very clever phones, will stick to HTC if this is what they can produce!! simple things like the raindrops & window wipers that appear on the screen to tell you that it's raining, how awesome is this trait?Read full review...
