The HTC Desire (codenamed Bravo)[4] is the first smartphone of the Desire series developed by HTC. It was announced on 16 February 2010 and released in Europe and Australia in the second quarter of the same year. The HTC Desire was HTC's third flagship phone running Android 2.1 Eclair[5] which can be upgraded to 2.2 Froyo or 2.3 Gingerbread.[6] Internally it bears a strong resemblance to the Nexus One, but differs in some features.
