Well, in the looks department, the Desire S is inspired by the HTC Legend and is sculpted out of a single chunk of aluminium to deliver a distinctly sleek new design. That is complimented by a 3.7-inch Super LCD display that offers bright viewing for video playback and browsing.

A new Qualcomm 1GHz Snapdragon processor and 768MB RAM is in tow to deliver speedier browsing an improved overall performance, and with Android 2.3 Gingerbread straight out of the box, you can reap the rewards of the latest Android OS.

HTC Sense 2.1 overlays the whole experience which we have come to love since the HTC Hero. 720 HD video recording is captured at 30fps and a 5-megapixel main camera LED flash with VGA front camera completes the impressive new Desire S package.
