Hardware
The HTC Desire S bears similar internal hardware when compared to its predecessor. One of the most prominent hardware improvement in the HTC Desire S is the 33% RAM improvement and 100% internal memory improvement.[4][5] Connectivity in the phone has also seen a noticeable upgrade featuring 14.4 mbps HSDPA and wireless 802.11 b/g/n. Externally the HTC Desire S bears an apparent difference, the Desire S utilises an aluminum unibody case and touch sensitive keys which has replaced the HTC Desire's navigational buttons, the trackball has also been removed.[6] The screen is much the same as the HTC Desire, in the fact that it also has implemented the use of a 94 mm (3.7 in) SLCD overlaid with gorilla glass. A front-facing VGA camera has also been included in the phone in addition to its 5mp rear camera that was also included in the original HTC Desire.
Software
The device was shipped with Android 2.3 and included HTC Sense 2.1, the phone is part of the new generation of HTC devices that feature a signed boot loader which increases the difficulty in exploiting the device and subsequently root and loading a custom firmware.[7] On Sunday 2 October 2011, it was announced that the Desire S would receive the Android 2.3.5 and HTC Sense 3.0 update. The new update adds HTC Watch to the list of applications, amongst other features, as well as the new design of the lock screen, and the ability to add icons and widgets onto the lock screen.[8][9] This update is currently being rolled out through OTA, but has not yet reached all providers and countries (as of 16 Nov 2011).
