HTC have now built on that success by bringing to the market an updated replacement machine - the Desire S. The 'S' model maintains the sleek svelte 'medium' form factor but brings new capabilities and technology to the machine which brings it fully up to date."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com//adt/auto/1302484366.usr309.gif" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>SmartPhoneGurus did a thorough review of the HTC Desire S on the O2 network in the UK.&nbsp; The popular original model from last year was the HTC Desire which was very similar to the Nexus One.&nbsp; I don't agree with the reviewer that this version is "fully up to date".&nbsp; It only has 1.1GB of built-in storage which I don't think is enough for a current phone.&nbsp; It will take a MicroSDHC card and it does have 768MB of RAM which is great.&nbsp; After checking on Wikipedia I found that it also has the second generation Snapdragon CPU which is good because that means it has the Adreno 205 which is a solid GPU, much better than the sub-par GPU of last years HTC phones.&nbsp; Is anyone interested in this phone?&nbsp; Besides the built-in storage it seems like a very capable device.&nbsp; Check out the review for more details.</p>
