The wait is finally over. HTC announces the launch of the Nexus One twin (HTC Desire) in India. The phone has the similar configuration as that of Nexus One in terms of the processor, memory, camera, resolution, etc. HTC has tied up with Tata DoCoMo to launch the phone in India. The cost of the phone is R 28,900/- which is quite reasonable when compared to the cost of iPhone 3GS in India. Trust me, it is powerful than iPhone 3GS. The new HTC Desire will be available starting today at all authorized HTC resellers across the country. 
- Optical trackpad instead of a trackball which I have hardly used on my Nexus One.
- FM radio. Though the Nexus One uses the same Broadcom BCM4329 WiFi/FM transmit/receive chipset, Google has not enabled it officially. Need to use a modified kernel and ROM for listening to FM Radio on Nexus One.
- No dual microphone to cancel the noise in HTC Desire.
- HTC Sense UI.
- Android 2.1. Froyo update will be available soon.
If you are planning to buy an Android based smart phone in India, this is the best phone available. The next version of it, HTC Desire HD HTC Ace, has already been spotted on Engadget.
