Dual core and NFC... Is it so necessary to have these features a smartphone? I laugh only by the fact that people demand these stuff

can it be that Desire S has GPRS 114 k and EDGE 560 k, when actual values are 32-48 k for GPRS and 384 k for EDGE ?

Its disturbing the work flow, when u sit and touch d screen to navigate and type, den u use very light touches, and den u will use the back or home/menu button, and suddenly you have to do a huge PRESS. That is so ouf of harmony when you are busy doing sumthing.

touch buttons was also the reason i preferred nokia 5530 over the 5800 with its physical buttons, same feeling across the board, more efficient

one very simple question... why is this phone rated lower than both the Desire and also the DHD? this phone is meant to be a better phone overall but yet has lower ratings...i think that people are rating on the basis of their disappointments and not o the basis of how good the phone really is! i really want an honest and mature answer :)

So most of you think that a Desire is actually more worth buying than a Desire S ?

the DLNA connection can be done wireless or we have to buy an adaptor (which is expensive!)

I was hoping the desire s and desire hd would come out with actual buttons instead of the touch pad down the bottom for the 'home, menu, back & search' buttons. Hence why I will be sticking to the desire. If htc bring out a good ole desire with extra camera and great design then I may very well upgrade. But until then, htc need to step back before they step forward.

Guess the harder they come the harder they fall lol! thought HTC were the next big thing in the smartphone arena but all phones announced at the Mobile World Congress 2011 have been so underwhelming.
As a user of the Original Desire I expected a whole lot more.

It is strange why HTC does not make their phones with HSDPA worldwide frequencies.

I like the new Desire S, but as a person travelling from US to Europe and vice-versa, not having 850/1900 HSDPA frequencies is a big problem.

HTC, please make your phones HSDPA quadband.
