I have an HTC Desire and I'm really happy with it.

Recently, the Google Maps Navigation has been activated here in Italy (with voice search, which I thought was available exclusively on the Nexus One).

Last week HTC released an OTA update with android 2.2, which also added an app for tethering over wifi (tethering via USB was already available) and 720p video recording.

I'm with you on this. It's basically the Nexus One hardware, with some quite minor differences and some HTC-specific Android customizations. It was already pretty darn good, but with last week's OTA-upgrade to Froyo, i'd say it's an excellent smartphone.

The main hardware differnce is that the Desire has real buttons (back, home, menu etc) wheres the Nexus One has soft buttons without the same level of touch feedback.

can't Desire do haptic feedback like EVO 4G? (if you're looking for a feedback)

for me the problem is rather with soft buttons being inadvertently activated when using the device in landscape mode, not the feedback.

I've been drooling over the Desire for a long time, but now, with rumours of the HD Desire coming out soon, I might wait for that...

what would HD Desire do more than SD Desire? They already do 720p recording (and theoretically playback) since Froyo OTA update.

I'm hoping that it has a screen with double the resolution.
