The first thing about the HTC Desire HD is the display, the 4.3 inch display is a fair bit larger than other smartphones, There are also a range of built in effects in HTC Desire HD which include depth of field, distortion & vignette, these can be quite fun to use and do produce some interesting photos, Physically the HTC Desire HD is a glorious amalgam of aluminium unibody and glass fronted fascia. Four capacitive buttons sit directly below the screen with an HTC insignia directly below them, The HTC Desire HD feels solid, utilises interesting means of securing the battery and cards.
