Desire coming soon to Hong Kong
The HTC Desire has made it to the HTC Hong Kong web page.
Specifications are very similar to the Nexus One although the roller ball has been replaced by a optical track pad.
The dual mic appears to have been omitted from this unit. This is something that I thought worked well in cancelling ambient noise while talking in noisy environments. Something that works nicely on the Touch Pro 2 and appears to also work well with the Nexus One.
Overall a nice clean looking device and a nice fast 1Ghz CPU to boot!
(In case you missed it, there are YouTube videos of the HTC Desire available here.)
