#desire v review

Another challenger in the game of dual-SIM Android smartphones is HTC's new creation, the Desire V. Design and Build The 'V' has inherited its looks from the Taiwanese smartphone giant's popular line of Desire devices and it certainly shows. On top of the Desire V is where the 3.5mm headset and power/lock button are found, on the right is the volume rocker (nothing else), the opposite side of the phone houses the micro USB 2.0 slot and at the bottom is nothing other than a pinhole for the microphone. Maybe we were expecting too much from the Desire V, we're not really sure. Scrolling through GMail, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook feeds (one of the main reasons for purchasing a smartphone) proved to be a challenge for the Desire V, it even lags whenever we receive an SMS while scrolling through a webpage. Given that HTC has lent us a pre-production Desire V, we weren't at all surprised with the annoying lags and crashes we've encountered with the phone. Browsing on the Desire V is doable but not necessarily great. We hope they've ironed out all these kinks in the final version otherwise we have nothing good to say about the Desire V's general performance.
