HTC Desire S in the flesh, first impressions Empty

We got our hands on the new HTC Desire S over the week-end and I’m kind of divided how to place it among all the other handsets released by HTC in the Philippines.

The Desire S borrowed several key features from other previous
handsets of HTC. The aluminum unibody construction was obviously derived
from the HTC Legend, although the Desire S is slightly toned down by a
couple of plastic covers at the back panel.

The Desire S also feels like an enlarged HTC Wildfire, with its
slight chin-like protrusion at the bottom end and the incorporation of
touch panels minus the optical trackpad. Actually, just by the looks of
it, the Desire S is closer to the Wildfire than the original Desire.

Of course, the genetic make-up of an HTC Desire is evident specs-wise:

One would actually think that the Desire S is just a refresh of the
Desire with a Super LCD instead of the original, more expensive and
scarce AMOLED display. Oh and they dropped the optical trackpad
altogether (probably because nobody was using it anyway).

The S-LCD screen on the Desire S holds its ground pretty well and is
comparable to AMOLED. In fact, unless you scrutinize it very thoroughly
against an AMOLED screen, you’d hardly notice the difference. But
remember, the later versions of the original Desire also swicthed to
S-LCD due to the low supply of AMOLED displays.

With a suggested retail price of Php25,990, the Desire S came in at a price point that is actually a little more expensive than the current price of the old Desire and the Desire HD.
