Released a week ago in Europe, the HTC Desire HD is another one of HTCs most well made models ever. Altough named the “Desire HD”, this smartphone doesn’t have to much in common with the “original” Desire as far as specifications go, it’s more related to its American counter-part that we, unfortunately do not get [...]
