I like the htc desire c because it's a good pocket size & 3.5 " screen is a good size. The call quality is clear on both ends. The audio quality is good too, thanks to Beats Audio Overall a great htc product for the budget people in mind.

Good design; ICS & Sense 4.0; Beats Audio; Easy to use; NFC & Bluetooth 4.0

The HTC Desire C is an Android 4.0 smartphone with a 3.5-inch display and a 600MHz speed processor. It has a total storage of 4GB, and a 512MB RAM. There's also a microSD memory card slot. If you've got a memory card you can store photos, videos and music to share with the device.

The HTC Desire C is an entry-level phone, but HTC hasn't skimped on its design; There are nice touches everywhere you look; Even when you life the cover off, the red interior screams out as if to say "look at me." The cover is plastic, but the build quality is still great.

The display isn't at the same level of HTC's more stellar smartphones such as the HTC Desire One X; Its 480 x 320 pixel display isn't as clear, or as bright, but still manages to cope adequately in bright conditions, but don't expect it to blow you away, The camera is fixed focus, which means you'll...

Are you a seasoned Android user looking for ICS on a budget or simply looking to make that big step into smartphones? Is it the journey or the destination? HTC will be pleased to welcome you on board either way.

Smartphones are a commodity everyone needs now; just having a feature phone isn't enough. And new technologies being implemented in high-end headsets, which then filters down to lower-end models, it only makes sense to stay connected all the time.

Until recently, Desire was the name HTC reserved for its best handsets. The HTC One series now takes that place, yet HTC has just sprung the little Desire C out of nowhere. It continues the Desire name for its smartphones, only this time at a lower budget.

The HTC Desire C is a new entry-level Android smartphone from the prolific manufacturer. Featuring Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and HTC's Sense 4.0 interface, it shares a lot of similarities with last year's Wildfire S.

The HTC Desire C is a slightly strange phone for HTC to release. After a hat-trick of awesome phones in its One series – including the budget-friendly One V – the Desire C is coming in not so far below the price of the One V, yet with a palpably more pedestrian spec list.

Sturdy build; Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS with HTC Sense adding tons of fun; efficient features

600MHz processor noticeably slows when multitasking or fast swiping; mediocre camera; similarly priced but higher performing phones are available

A step up from the handsets it's replacing the HTC Desire C is a decent budget-handset, although you may want to look elsewhere if you want more bang for your buck.

The Desire C can be pocketed pretty cheaply, but even at this price there are more powerful alternatives vying for your cash. Just getting Ice Cream Sandwich -- or HTC throwing in stuff like NFC -- is not enough to compensate for the phone's many shortcomings, at least in my view.

Ice Cream Sandwich; HTC Sense 4.0; MicroSD card slot

Weak processor; Small low-res screen; Call volume is quite quiet

HTC seems to be launching new smartphones every other week at the moment and the Desire C is its cheapest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich model so far.
