HTC DESIRE™HTC Sense™

Make It Mine is about feeling your HTC phone was created for and by you. To do this, HTC encourages you to dictate and organize how you want to access the people and content in your life in a way that fits best for you. For some, this means adding glance-view widgets that push content like twitter feeds, weather, or status updates to the surface while others may want quick access to business-focused information like email, calendar and world-times.

Stay Close

Discover the UnexpectedMany of the most memorable moments in your life are experienced, not explained. HTC Sense is focused on providing a variety of these simple yet innovative experiences on your HTC phone that will sometimes bring you mo-ments of joy and delight. It can be something as basic as turning the phone over to silence a ring or as simple as im-proving the smart dialler for making calls quicker.

Your HTC Desire is as unique as you are.

Built on a culture of innovation and a passion to enhance peoples lives, HTC shapes the mobile experience around the individual. HTC Sense delivers on three basic principles: Make it Mine, Stay Close and Discover the Unexpected.

Make it Mine

Today, staying in touch with the people in your life means managing a variety of communication channels and applications ranging from phone calls, emails, texts, photos, status updates and more. HTC Sense takes a different approach by integrating these communication channels and applications into one single view enabling you to stay closer to your important people. With HTC Sense, friends Facebook status updates and photos along with their Flickr photos are included along side their text messages, emails and call history in a single view.
