  • Hey I am operating this phone....good phone but i want to know that is this a 3g set

  • This phone alway hanging made me spent a lot of time for a single call I should destroy.

  • Pls. do not buy this phone HTS desire VC.. problem is that the cable connecting the display and MBB is bended and squeezed between the two, after a few months of use the cable breaks and display goes off. cannot change the cable, will have to change the entire display. the display went off immediately after the warranty period was over. and it cost me equivalent to a new phone.

  • quick heat and slow to funtion quick battery discharge, some time auto off

  • one of the worst phone i ever saw, cdma & gsm both slots have a network problem, music is also not good. battery also having so much problems, I purchased htc in India via flipkart, In India I was using India's no. one network reliance but it not connected properly loose the voice after 5 to 10 seconds after call connect, right now i am in Saudi Arabia here STC is having a good network but this phone again harassing, I request to get back my money which I expense on this If not possible then I suggest to next buyers Please do not buy this one of the third class handset. last time also I comment the same but none inquiry came from HTC. just only to check the email address proper or not yes it was correct. this time also I am posting the reviews. HTC claim that music is of beat & so good. Please I am suggesting to makers of this phone listen the other companies phone's music you people get the idea which one is better. I wasted money on HTC, due to its week performance agian I ma going to purchase another one.. do some thing against this review..

  • Very slow phone.. as its a single core...like as Tortoise. applications , calls hang-up most of times.. not preferred to use.

  • i can't able to connect internet from slot 2 means gsm slot? plz any one help me

  • cdma sim card is not working.

  • After 1 year my cell display is out of work and also tuch pad prolrmes

  • Hi Deva, I am facing the same problem however I have figured out what is happening with my phone. I think the problem is with sensor or something else because screen is not getting light up only in dark room or an area where I don't have ample light.

  • my cell is not sporting 3G...so what i do if you have any solotion plz reply me [email protected]

  • Hi.....I hsve the same phone but my htc t238t not working at doul sim.....it say CDMA is not avilbal and another thing my cell is not sporting 3G...so what i do if you have any solotion plz reply me [email protected]

  • This my first htc i like to use this phone but after 13 month the lcd had a problem and no compromise about the guarantee must bought the new part without discount or anything so iam dissapointed

  • This is a good phone. We in Bangladesh have no good quality phone. But VC is a good alternative for us to use for. I like every thing of it.

  • This is the worst phone I have ever had. HTC phones only looks good but when it comes to durability they are the worst. I have the same problem which most of the people are facing here which is with display. On/Off button couldn't light up its screen most of the time, all the screen remains functional but you cannot see anything. I bought it for 22000 bucks and what I got is a piece of shit. I repaired it for 5000 and after 3 months again started facing the same problem. When contacted customer they have a policy of 3 months warranty after each repair. I even couldn't make 3G working in this phone even after changing the setting by pressing *#*#4636#*#*. I will never recommend to buy any HTC phone to anyone.

  • Good phone, and both sim cards work at the same time.Smartphones CTS always coped well with any task.

  • this phone is very bad & always software problem, apps not work properly, just hang, hang & hang....

  • thanks i was planning to Buy .....

  • this is worst phone i have bought in my life. always hangs on at time of attending phone of play any apps.gps not working properly. Phone Always hang up when u most require. whatsup crash regularly. i think htc is worst company who give so bad product and ruined our hard earned money.please never buy this company product.

  • i have the same problem...did u find the answer ?

  • Worst phone i had ever in my life.... full of hardware issue.

  • never buy htc desire vc, it has issue in detecting the sim in roaming. I was really pissed off with this mobile. NEVER BUY this one.

  • The phone didn't live upto the expectation. DO NOT BUY IMPORTED PHONES. The GSM sim stopped working within one month of purchase only CDMA is working. I was told that the motherboard would have to be replaced which was an expensive affair. The 5MP camera is quite good but not as good as 5MP of Nokia. Internet Speed is not very exciting. Other features are quite ok.

  • Very poor mobile i had ever purchase in my life... Chinese mobile z much better than this. Tottaly vastage f money. Screen stop workiing 4 times in 6 mnths. N d srvc was also soo poor... U r suggested that never ever purchase any htc product...

  • My HTC Desire Pone Display is not working. if we press the button just the navigation keys shows light. but display not comming. pls help me friends...

  • My HTC Desire Pone Display is not working. if we press the button just the navigation keys shows light. but display not comming. pls help me friends...

  • pLZ make descision fast , either stay with it as it is or sell for whatever price u get....this is a piece of crap....dont ever go to HTC or else you will curse yourself for buying thie product and even more knowing their sugestions and replies...

  • Garbage - the best definition for this cheap product from HTC. People don�t get fooled by the HTC tag, they have produced a really useless piece of phone. The phone has display blank problem twice in 6 months, irony is that when I went for complaint, the smart customer care lady suggested that the phone should not be kept in pant pocket. :) how clever is that - plz HTC mention in bold that STOP wearing T-shirts after you buy HTC products � AND ONLY WEAR HTC UNIFORMES AS SUGGESTIONS � Further She said that the display is very delicate so use protective cover - again hilarious suggestion - HTC Please put a note of "FRAGILE" handle with utmost care - and keep in showcase unless emergency calling :) When complained about applications and games not working properly � HTC engineers only have to say � we cannot guarantee on 3rd party software�s � HTC Plz design your own software�s and make them proprietary - plz don�t design the product for OPEN markets like android unless your stupid technical staff understands how to respond to a technical query� THE BOTTOM LINE I WANT TO TELL YOU ALL IS � � STAY AWAY FROM ANY HTC PRODUCTS UNLESS YOU HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO WASTE UPON �

  • I am using Desire vc. One bad day it asked for update for new version. So i did the update. lateron it hanged & it doesnt turn on(only "HTC" name display comes on screen.)

  • Yes it does NOT support 3G gsm, wise it support 3G CDMA.

  • hi sir pls tell me htc desire vc phone is not supported in 3g in gsm

  • HTC Desire VC is JUNK and waste of Money. This is a worst mobile set i ever had.I bought it on Oct-12. Once i faced the display issue then sent to service centre. They kept it for more than a months. Upon return after few months i got the no voice problem then as per the suggestion of HTC customer centre i reset it to factory mode. Again there is problem with the display. Display is totally blank and again i have to send to service centre. I lost all my contact thrice from the day i bought this set due to the problems in the set. Apart from this it hangs every time when i tried to talk in speaker mode. There are four of my colleagues who have bought this model and every one is suffering from this phone. Overall, this is an useless device.

  • i agree, have faced the same problem thrice!

  • What they mentioned is correct only. 3G is in CDMA network, works with EVDO.

  • This is just to inform that i am also facing the same problem of HTC VC desire display problem. After one year everyone as per the feedback above facing the same problem. So we come to the conclusion that the HTC VC desire is having company display problem.

  • plase share the MRP

  • There is no 3G in this phone.3G statement is misleading.

  • well I'm not sure whether a software or a hardware issue. It happened to me and the reason was that the displays goes dim whenever the Brightness is below 15%. So if your phone was in the dark and it was set to auto-brightness it would never go on! Solution: Either switch off the Auto-brightness or download a software called Lux auto brightness and set the minimum brightness in the settings to the required limit so that the display wouldn't go dim.

  • Awesome audio when you listen with headphone. But I'm doubt is it gonna work properly with beats audio(tm).

  • Exactly I had the same problem of display not working after 1 year and had to repair at the cost of 5000.

  • dis is an owsm mobile, its 3G networks works properly and i m going to have one more htc desire vc for my grl frnd also.

  • I have been using HTC Desire VC since Nov-2012. I got the display of this handset replaced once, earpiece replaced twice and twice I had software issues. Besides that this handset is very slow. HTC should have some scheme to buyback this handset....Pathetic.

  • pathetic display problems. and a slow phone

  • pathetic display problems. and a slow phone. i purchased this phone last november and already had display issues twice. both the times i gave it to HTC service centre and since it was within warranty period, they replaced the display. but its a pain. i felt during the time of purchase only HTC should have suggested to buy and keep one more backup phone !!

  • No. In mobile technology, CDMA slot is meant for CDMA SIM and GSM slot is for GSM SIM. In no way, you can connect vice versa. Period.

  • it's not good. It have lcd display problem. Don't buy this phone.

  • how long to repair the LCD by technician? I have 2 Months since i give my phone to repair with the tecnician HTC @ tomang square. until now the phone was not ready......

  • no it doesnot have front camera

  • 1) The town you stay should have evdo service 2) Your card should be OMH card. It is not the regular sim card. OMH card is needed to run evdo. You also need to apply to your local stores to activate evdo on your omh sim card.

  • So far so good. I'been used it since June 2012. Battery is OK. Everything is good but slowly.

  • can somebody tell me how to play HD video on this phone? I tried with download the mx player and the codec too but the video still running too slow. thx

  • Hi Mack! If you want to use for CDMA it is suitable. But I am not recommanded you for GSM or WCDMA. TKS,.

  • I want topurchase this one, but after reading the earler comments i am confused. Any body since today guide me, ie. should I buy or not?

  • why it's not support GSM 3G & RAM should be minimum 1GB.

  • Should must have a front camera

  • Their is no seperate settings for evdo service...to use service,first u must have to upgrade ur sim card to an OMH sim,then subscribe any evdo plan available.u will get connected to evdo,only if you have evdo connectivity in you locality.Other wise u can access only highspeed 1x

  • Really good one........

  • It's a good cdma+gsm combo phone in the available choice. It's priced high. For the price it should have atleast 10 or >10 MPIX Camera + Front camera of 5 MPIX for 3G Calling, RAM of 2GB instead of 512MB as this an high end phone.

  • Sorry HTC Desire VC phone does not posses a frontal viewing camera, but however I am of the opinion that it is a very good and reliable phone in its class. I only hope that a more longer lasting battery would have accompanied it, overall I rate it 91%.

  • Please HTC Desire VC user can you install apps or games to this phone external memory card? Please I want a honest answer cos I want to buy a 4.0 screen dual SIM android phone that you can install games nd apps on it's external memory card.

  • material failure.go to the service station and they will change the defective parts in a month and it might work then

  • go to reliance web world and replace your sim with advanced sim enabled for net

  • My new htc desire vc have a very low battery back up. Even when not in use, the hand set is very hot and radiates heat. how to sort out, can anyone help me.

  • Bought it as the choice in India for Droid CDMA+GMS+Touch is limited to 3-4. Slim, light, good touch interface, responsive screen and faster than Moto Xt800 I had. Should stay away from Mott as they have '0' back up in India, my software crashed, nobody can repair it!! HCC D VC has no Gorilla glass, so gr8 care is needed. Weakest link is the usb plug point, exposed and only interface with the phone for data / charge etc., looks flimsy too. Hard use / dust would jam this up fast and long term survival in Indian condition is poor, wish they had a cap for the port like the Motto had. Also GSM has no edge, so slower, the wi-fi is OK.

  • for conference service while ur on the 1st call go to option then select add call that's it

  • Find App 2 SD on play store.. it works really well, when you download apps just click it right away, app2SD will automatically remove the app to your SDcard

  • i like this phone..have gprs available in gsm network?? bsnl cdma sim work this phone??

  • Now they have replaced the Display again... So far it is woking fine. I just hope its display doenst conk off again.

  • The idea behind the phone's design is that you use CDMA for data connection and GSM for voice, not the other way around. CDMA operators give better value for money and speed in terms of data connections. At least that's what happens here in Indonesia. I'm sure it's similar in India.

  • Mmm.. Yes you can. I moved ALL my apps to my 16GB Class 10 SanDisk microSDHC. What microSD card do you have?

  • First u call to Airtel CC, but i read that ur using Reliance CDMA connection in ur HTC desier VC so why ur not using Reliance Net. Its very Good compare to Airtel By speed and cost recharge 98rs u get 6 month internet per month 1GB+200 sms free

(my wife is currently using galaxy ace duos, and that phone lags a lot, even during simple scrolling from one screen to another

  • I'm using WhatsApp on my Desire VC very nicely

  • If you want to purchase a mobile for this same configuration, better go for Motorola XT800, costs about 8000/-. I am using Motorola XT800 for the last 3 months. I am highly satisfied with the product. I am using Reliance CDMA and Tata Docomo GSM. Reliance is giving 3G speed Internet for 94/- for 6months for 6GB download. Don't loose this chance.

  • unable to make std call with prefix +91 from cdma

  • is the upgrade effective.I had read somewhere that after the upgrade the performance had deteriorated.

  • after recent update it is showing service provider name and this is OK for normal use. There is no other CDMA phone in this range with these many specifications.

  • MTS & High speed are two conflicting words in the same statement :)

  • HTC Desire VC (O_O) Nice phone you can play 3d Games (GTA 3,Temple run Brave,Wild Blood works fine ^_^ prob. is No 3G in GSM :(( and cdma sucks i have 3g bsnl sim but i can't use 3g in htc vc only looks good ^_- screen sucks to much contrast O_o

  • Dear Friends, After lot of hassle, finally i have bought this mobile and its features are perfectly compatible to my usage. I would recommend this beautiful handset to those CDMA users only who`s usage is only limited to calls and checking their updates on social networking sites. I strongly do not recommend this handset for the purpose of playing heavy games, extensive internet usage over apps and 24X7 music lovers. Yes, If your lifestyle is pretty moderate of above usage. This is would be most beautiful handset you would ever use. I feel, anyone who is techie and have awareness about the use of andriod OS would be best satisfied person to get this device. I would say: not for only this device, know your usage first then get the device what you need. I would give 8 points out of 10 for this pretty nice HTC phone. 1 point for not having secondary camera and 2 points for not having HD playback. other wise , simply fantastic device.

  • Please try MTS internet for superfast speed

  • A complete waste of money. I bought this phone a few months back. The look of the phone is the only good point about it. I have not installed a lot of games/app in it but still the speed is pretty average. The worst thing in this phone is data connectivity. It only supports GPRS and not even EDGE on GSM network. In Mumbai only Reliance provides CDMA data connectivity plans.(very bad connectivity and speed) My recommendation would be a complete "NO" to this handset. Don't go for it !!

  • My friend I'm not fully agree with you, It's true this phone is slower compare to other dual core android phone but it's best in CDMA variant(SIM based)

  • I am staying in Pune, Since being a CDMA user i have no other option to buy. I ain`t gamoholic but my basic usage is frequent calling and oftentimes usage of internet to check my accounts. In this connection, i would like to ask you how often i need to recharge my battery or can it sustain to day long without gaming? I am desperately looking for higher end handset and after lot of search I have been able to find it only "HTC Desire VC " which is broadly available in market, I also did compare this handset to Galaxy Ace duos where after reading many opinions, the cell seems to be worst. In this situation, i have no other choice. your reply to my email: [email protected] is highly appreciated.

  • Hey, don't buy this. You'll regret it. It's slow, slow, very slow. You can almost play no games on this phone, buy One V if you want HTC, It's much better.

  • Hi SR866, I am to buy this phone in coming week, i want to discuss about it`s performance and need some feedback on the same. Can you revert me back ? my email id is [email protected] , your feedback would really be useful to me, and would highly appreciable. Thanks !

  • lucky you.

  • galaxy S duos is a gsm gsm dual sim phone and desire vc is cdma gsm phone

  • does it matter,i mean incorrect display of number indicating tata indicom istead of reliance communications.What should it display

  • Nice slim phone, Good build quality & Design, Awesome sound, Strong OS(ICS), Battery is also not bad but Camera is average and lack of EDGE, Compass and RAM(only 512 MB)

  • Q1 Hi want to buy this phone as my requirement is GSM + CDMA dual active (i should be able to receive call on one sim while talking on other) Q2 i think Samsung will be bring GSM+CDMA version of Galaxy S DUOS soon with same spec's it will have 768 MB of ram and front facing camera (not sure about the dual active part)so is it worth waiting

  • Worst Phone for CDMA user. I am a CDMA user and i used this handset, Draw Backs:- Conference facility is disable for CDMA user, Not showing Genuine Service Operator Name, f.eg- showing code (1023127, TATA DOCOMO) instead of RELIANCE CDMA. Beware...........to buy

  • i know that this is really very bad news that, conference feature is not supported in this phone, only gsm mode will work.

  • it is worst phone in range of 20k,very slow processin of apps nd very slow browsing of net in gsm nd cdma network...dun go 4 it...

  • mobile was very slow when using gsm network.. and when i purchased this mobile from universal he told taht cdma supports to 3g but in andhra pradesh there is no 3g services available in ap...

  • Larger? Get G Note

  • It has become slow since i updated it to 4.0.3. Now I have to kill all the tasks to load even the default Menu quickly, otherwise it takes 6-7 seconds. Sometimes even if I add a widget to my screen, it doesnot appear..so hit and try is the way...But still..keeping the looks in mind and clear voice quality (using GSM only), I am satisfied with it. No Phone has better specs in this price range (20K)

  • Thanks MX player played HD videos on this device.

  • How to make conference call with CDMA sim? I am not able to do it currently. Please suggest what is the way for the smae

  • Very Good Phone. Using CDMA network for internet with EVDO works very good(TATA DOCOMO).Its fast as well. Also you would get 6 months of free data usage of 1 GB on docomo. Only problem I am facing is with the RAM. I have installed lot of applications and since then my phone has started to slow down(Ex:When I come out of FB app to Home)it takes 5-10 seconds to load. Works slower when compared to Samsung wrt RAM. Rest of the things are really good.

  • It comes with ordinary HeadSet

  • sexy fone really awesome

  • Is it comes with Beats audio Headset or Ordinary HTC headset?

  • Can you try "MX Player"? it will downloadable from Play store(Android market). Please try it, then you can play HD(720p) video

  • no u will not b able to play hd videos in this device... but it's a gud fon..

  • i want larger than 4.3 inch

  • does the android works only on CDMA network???

  • Bought this phone from Reliance Electronics yesterday for Rs. 21,600 and got accessories worth Rs. 3000 free that includes - Emergency charger(uses AA cell), Bluetooth, Car Charger, Cleaner, Card Reader, 8 GB SANDISK card, 2D/3N Holiday voucher free in India). I was getting this phone for 20,960 in other stores, but with so many things on offer, it was worth paying few extra bucks). Interface is nice with 4.0 and audio with Beats is a chimes to the ears...Battery drains down quickly..may be i am exploring it too much ..same had happened with Sony Xperia U..but after few days...battery life got ok and it lasted 2 full days with normal surfing, calls and music listening...hope to hv same with this device too.

  • Smooth playback only for 480p video size

  • No it can't play hd videos. It cant even play an mp4 file properly. Source -

  • The 3G is only for CDMA.

  • No, You can't put GSM card into CDMA Slot, this device doesn't support that.

  • can this phone play 1080p hd videos? plz anyone reply soon coz m buying this phone on saturday n i'll buy this only if it can play hd videos...

  • gsm cdma che popat

  • Can I put two GSM Sim in this phone and use both of them actively.

  • The original firmware does not have this problem. You must have made an update like me and then got into this problem. I have informed HTC. Lets wait for the next update.

  • Awesome Android Smart Phone with poor battery if used smartly due to Active CDMA+GSM compatiblity with internal 4 GB storage (1 GB usable), external memory extendable upto 32 GB. As on date only phone in the market with internet on both sim, without the support of 3G on GSM. 5MP camera with no front camera. Files can be managed through Astro and App 2 SD, downloadable free from play.google.com but dont waste your time in installing compass. Best Price in the market INR 20500/-

  • So nice phone,Perfect,But cover is loose in audio jack and power charge hole side.How can i do for it?

  • well you can consider reliance network for cdma as this is the best network and i am using its network from the last 4 years and till now haven't faced any problem in reliance cdma network.

  • 1) RAM could have been enhanced. 2) Poor Battery life 3) Can avail 3G service only on CDMA network, which is again a poor rather worst network as on date. However it was one of the best network even 2 years ago. 4) One more drawback--for GSM network the phone supports only GPRS and not EDGE(which is better for surfing net) Overall phone is good. Lookwise as well as handling.

  • overall a good phone,it has good specs but battery is a below standard for a phone of this stantard.also i hv noticed that the screen remains warm most of the tym. takes time to boot and has got average ring tone volume. other very important prob is dat i cant call contacts from cdma connection which are saved with +91.any body pl suggest some solution.

  • Does it function 3g with gsm ? Or only with cdme

  • Does it function 3g with gsm ? Or only with cdme

  • Got this phone today after so many confusion , but al last htc is just awsome in everything , thing is unbeatable . Beats audio is Superb and camera is fine but overall the phone is worthy if u need gsm+ CDMA connections .

  • send sms to reliance and they will send you the settings andsave on your phone.for sms check on their website or talk to their executive.

  • I just had this phone since a couple week ago, for overall this is great dual card smartphone ever n it's cam pict and beat sound was great too...also share menu is easier especially for social network.

  • Superb phone.... Only u got to keep in gsm 2G operation. Then for browsing switch to 3G cdma. It is helping the battery will last longer.

  • I bought this Vc last week Internet is good. But run in cdma is consuming battery. Only last for 12-14 hrs non stop. So what i do is switch network for gsm which is only 2G, can't go for 3G. The battery is last for over one day. If want to browse then i switch to cdma... Overall i am please with this No problem with OS operation or UI. It's slim and simply georgeus piece. Salute HTC....

  • In India , this phone costs nearly Rs.20,500/- and for this price range , the phone has severely outdated internals. Not that I am a fanboy , but Adreno 200 is almost useless. Games like Asphlat 7 :Heat and Max Payne are a no-go for this kind of hardware. Only for a certain period of time you can appreciate looks and screen. People should look at 3.7" phones like Motorola Defy Plus , Sony Xperia Neo : V , Sony Xperia Pro, Samsung Ace 2(with a dual core processor). If you are willing to spend just RS.1,500 more, you can get the still very good Xperia Arc.

  • I bought this before 1 week .. Pattern lock is slow then other android in single line : this is what we need for Pocket

  • Consider Motorola Photon 4G. Though launched almost a year back, specs are superb compared to HTC Desire VC.

  • I bought this phone on early of August. Overall I satisfied w/ this one. the body so slim, & spec is enaough. the both of cdma & gsm can running well. After use some weeks, phone can function normally, batt is okey, no drop, and phone temperature stable. exceptly, this phone doesn't have the compass sensor :(

  • What happens if you are on CDMA voice call and somebody is trying on GSM line ?

  • I got the HTC Desire VC on the 2nd of august, the design is lovely but after a full charge the battery is terrible, 4Gb internal only left 960Mb that user can use, I would recommend a old htc phone, the htc desire hd

  • I would have purchased it but for no secondary camera dampen my interest .Without video call it will not fall within smart mobile.HTC be perfect if want to be popular like Samsung.

  • Hi ..I'm having problm in connecting my Desire VC to internet through CDMA...I'm using RCOM CDMA & residing in Pune..Ive put a OMH simcard but the internet settings of CDMA network are not visible..Plz help me out..Thanx..!!

  • Excellent handset. Bought recently ( Just 4 Days back ) so will have all through experience and again will post review with experience. Till Now NO complaints at all.

  • htc desire is a good mobile but anybody can tel me . is there any problm of heating the fon bcause my fon is getting heat

  • I purchase vc on 3rd august from delhi,I use this fone for a week,everything was good but one thing which was important for me,that was CALL CONFRENCING over CDMA, I am using RCOM CDMA postpaid & VC has no call confrencing over cdma network. I gift VC to my family & currently I am using blackberry 9350.VC has both data service facility over GSM n CDMA. Overall good fone but featurewise cost too high of Rs. 21,000.

  • nice fone batt...is some .poor

  • Why every company has started using this same Processor chip and GPU cortex A5 and adreno 200 but with differnt clock speeds ranging around 600 Mhz, 800 MHZ to 1 Ghz. Samsung in S duos, LG in L3, L5 and L7. HTC in Desire C, V, VT and VC. Sony in Xperia Tipo, Tipo Dual & Miro. Screen sizes varying from 3.2 inch on Xperia Miro to 4.3 inch on LG L7. These processor and GPU are very slow and economicaly configured. These handsets are single or dual sims. Whats really behind using these monotonous configurations which every company is applying in their new handsets??? Anyone knows about this???

  • Can I use HTC desire VC inserting both GSM sim and CDMA sim simultaneously.

  • can i play game HD in this VC? what's the title? thx

  • Yes. I have HTC Desire HD, and have used Skype where it uses the regular rear 8mp camera.

  • Yes, You can Use Internet by GSM sim but you get GPRS speed not EDGE.

  • Please tell me ,is this hand set is compatible with internet option for GSM ,because earlier i taken Samsung ACE dues , in that it doesn't support GSM internet , you have to use CDMA service Please reply

  • Motorola Milestone XT 800 (10.5k) operates on 2.1 GIngerbread OS whereas HTC Desire VC runs (21k) on 4.0 Icecream Sandwich! The two are no match to each other. Hence the price difference. Samsung Galaxy Ace Duos falls in between with 2.4 Gingerbread and hence priced at 15k.

  • I think the price of HTC desire Vc should be around that of SAmsung GALXY Ace Duos. Heavy price tag.

  • Yes you can. Its swapable

  • This is the phone I was waiting for. As It is an advanced Anroid phone with the capability of having GSM and CDMA. moreover you can do internet browsing in CDMA as well as GSM. I will grade it 8/10 because its CDMA compatable.

  • no,only on cdma

  • Can we use internet in gsm slot ?,

  • I got this phone a week back for my dad, pretty much ok. two year old hardware, feels and works pretty slow. My nexus S feels like an octa core in front of this!! But if you want a CDMA + GSM in the best available phone, this is pretty much it. But please keep in mind that this does not have a magnetometer, so compass wont work on this.

  • Be smart enough to take your decision, thanks for the reviews also, I have been made my mind to buy this phone today.

  • can anyone tell me this phone support 3g internet in gsm sim or not, ?

  • I bought it yesterday and it's amazing. But I can't find file manager. Where do i find it?

  • Since they probably wont post a review here, i found a nice review online: seems like a really nice phone but I wanted GSM Dual SIM not GSM+CDNA :o(

  • I don't understand why there's so many negative opinions previously. For me personally, I'm quite impressed by this phone. The dual on cdma+gsm works well, and for me, this is the main idea why I bought this phone. I think the memory and processor are enough for me. You have ps3/xbox if you want to play high def games or your laptop/pc if you want to do your work, rite? The design is a beauty, the phone is thin, and the screen is large enough to do browsing, log in to socmed acct, or even play games. the camera works well too and the result is good. You don't need a fancy 8 mp or 10 mp camera if you weren't a photographer, imo. What man crates never be a perfect one. I think the main area that needs improvement is the battery. I think that 1650 mH nowadays isn't enough for any smartphones. I'm waiting for a stronger aftermarket battery to replace the factory default battery. Overall, I recommend this phone for people who has cdma+gsm numbers and willing to merge those numbers into one phone, and just use the phone for a daily regular use of a phone like texting, make a call, browsing, and log in to socmed acct. I tried to be fair enough when writing this review, and its your call when deciding which phone you really need to use and buy..

  • just bought the phone yesterday tillnow the experience is awessome lessc.... plz cmmnt and lemme feel that i've nt wastedmy money guys

  • Is it dual sim "Active" or dual sim "Standby"? Meaning, if u r busy on GSM number, someone calls you on CDMA number, do you get "call waiting" signal? and does caller get "line is busy" message?

  • i have buy this one...overall nice experience...

  • Yes its support all CDMA and GSM Network.

  • Wait for the review to come at least. Should be in by 2 weeks. Awesome Phone as reviewed by NDTV cell guru - 8.7/10.

  • Its very new product, so how is the performance its gone be slowly compare with price, I've been waited for such CDMA and GSM, your comment please

  • desire vc is fantastic

  • Bye G95 model G five Mobile in 9400.

  • Incorrect. HTC Desire VC is Dual SIM Dual Active device with CDMA and GSM. Both SIMS will work. Since EVDO (CDMA ) is much better network for Data Speeds ( Photon , Reliance Net Connect Speeds ) while i use GSM slot for voice. Its a very good device.

  • Yes , it supports internet tethering

  • hello this is dual sim

  • this is cdma+gsm phone while lg only gsm

  • s2 is better

  • It does not has gorilla glass.

  • True,thats why Samsung is popular,better features at same cost.

  • Go for LG optimus L7 instead. Just Rs. 17000 and specs are much better than this.

  • i have decided to buy htc desire vc very soon.Guys please advice me is it right decision or suggest me another phone with the feature of GSM+CDMA+WiFi+net connection on gsm network.Please share your valuable comments.

  • any of the smart phone in market which have 4 gb internal memory comes only with 1 gb memory for usage because O.S. and other app uses the storage and u also have the choice of external storage

  • average cpu no gsm 3g no adobe flash(only flash lite which is used in feature phone) no hd video recording And price 20500 INR(350+ USD) Completely worthless

  • This cell phone was enough for me. I also like it's design. Recommended to you that using internet, casual games, and basic work activity... Nice work HTC.

  • Does not connect to data (internet) on Reliance CDMA / GSM combo. Has no proper options to transfer phone book from excel VCF file to phone... Horrible for the kind of money i paid (20900) for the phone and neither the helpline nor service provider nor seller is able to help keep running from pillar to post....

  • Yes..its was 1 gb internal memory. Trouble with advertised? Because new?

  • not worthy phone at this price tag without seconday camera

  • I am disappointed that the internal storage is not the same as what was advertised

  • no 3G connection for the gsm sim card?

  • This phone is available in India @ Rs.20,999/- in several shopping website like Snapdeal, ebay

  • no there isn't dedicated shuter button for camera, if u want to take picture u have touch the sreen. but the camera tooks quite decent photo though...

  • is there a physical button shutter for the camera?

  • Games can be transferred to sd card ,use app2sd.

  • tethering ? yes, it supports tether.

  • I've ben looking for gsm-cdma dual on phone and it's found in htc desire vc. indeed it's a low-end phone and we can't expect to much...yet it's still considered powerful for its price range. I don't count so much on gsm data feature coz cdma data connection (EVDO) has given a great deal in internet business. but my question is, does the phone support hotspots tethering, then other lacks of the device won't matter anymore...thanks guys

  • can you install apps or games in external memory? or it must be installed in internal memory?

  • One thing very important is missing in the desire V series and that is the secondary camera. I wish they will soon release new model with the secondary camera.

  • HTC Desire VC Camera Test -->

  • Also it's internal storage is only 1 Gigs instead of 4 gigs advertised!

  • After a week of ownership, it began annoying because system crashed frequently, even more than 10 times a day !

  • no compass, is unfortunate.. only emphasizes dual on standby.. huff -_+"

  • its Active or Standby ?

  • please somebody tell me, how to use live wallpaper in this phone, i can't find any menu to change...

  • I've using this phone for several days, and i think the battery was great! 24 hrs, maybe more. but the downside, it doesn't support HSDPA, just GPRS but works great with EVDO

  • i929 already in the market (chinese market) and not just recently, but at least since early 2012, ask someone, or google it. don't know whether the phone is going to be available in other countries. btw back to topic, now i have xt882 and this vc, good built, I like the phone's built.

  • i929 is still just announced, it scheduled to release at q3, and those phones still using gingerbread, dont know if its upgradeable

  • Indonesia first launch

  • android phones have been known for its big battery power consumption! so recharging for every single day is becoming normal. Also, dual on phone GSM-CDMA consume double the battery power. in conclusion, "dual on android phone" will of course drain the battery in no time, and YES its normal.

  • sure lag, u just never notice! most people are like that when only hold onto 1 phone all the time, and not realizing that it's actually lag!

  • coz India & China have been targeted for far too many GSM-CDMA phone while other countries havent. so it's time to take turn, dont u think?! peace out!

  • 1st of all, u r SECOND actually not first =) 2nd, this is a low-end phone, so it is CHEAP, dont expect too much.

  • well this phone seems ok for NOW coz nothing to compare to. so your sentence about "if theres any other phone like this" seems just plain stupid! anyway peace =)

  • i read this from androidforum(dot)com, HTC has launched its new Smartphone named HTC Desire VC. This Smartphone for HTC has got very amazing features. As compared to other newly released smartphone HTC Desire this phone can provide you with the same features but with different power with dual SIM (CDMA-GSM) compatibility and that�s perfect for users In Indonesians and Esia Max-D provider will be in stores by the middle of this month, good smartphone, great connection...Crazy!

  • why htc dont launch (HTC VC AND HTC DESIGN 4G) model in india???????????????

  • hello bro,i also came from indonesia . . .so ' salam kenal" ^^V about your statement of lag from a device with 512 mb may i know the task ?? cz my htc one V had 512mb of ram and as far as i use it i dont get the 'lag'. in my opinion HTC is one of the best android maker in the market . .the htc sense ui was Fast,beautifull and absoloutely better compared to other ui(imo,except the motoblur^^)

  • i have this phone almost two weeks .poor battery performance .with minimum daily using,need recharge every night .sometime cannot get incoming calls and phone doesn't ring just u can see missed call. i have sensation xe also. cannot compare vc with xe.price is 2200 rmb=350usd in china.

  • "...no Dual CDMA-GSM Android phone has better specs than this HTC Desire VC... for now..." well u need to look in other directory, motorola and samsung have this kind of phones ages ago, and better specs aswell, just google motorola XT800, XT800+ , XT882 , XT928 , and other XT types.... samsung i919, i929, etc

  • Hi I wanted to know the battery back up of the phone specially, and as read one guy comment that its mainly a CDMA phone with just backing for GSM.. is that true. Will the net and mail will work on both or it will be like the Samsung done with its latest CDMA+GSM phone. it only support CDMA not GSM for net. Will that be a good buy as no other GSM + CDMA phone is available of this strength or is there an other phone coming soon with better option..

  • Link is not working...

  • well yeah man.....here go right....i dont why htc is making dese kinds of outdated products when it still kan do better....the company has gone nuts ....who will prefer making a mobile like desire vc when it's already having a much better phone like one x in da global market.

  • the official website for HTC Desire VC :

  • It seams to be just an acceptable hardware in top design with beautiful outside build dual sim smart phone with Android 4. Finally HTC...

  • because it's cdma phone. the gsm is for backup only

  • The new HTC Desire Toilet(were the guys from HTC drunk when they named this phone ?) with specs that were available 2 years ago and design similar to all the other android phones. I don't understand why anyone would buy this type of phone(new phone with old specs) when the old models look about the same ,have the same specs and they are a lot cheaper.

  • please keep in mind that this phone is using CDMA network as its main network. the GSM network is there for roaming purpose only. and to those people that bashing this phone's specification, can you name other Dual CDMA-GSM Android phones with better specs than HTC Desire VC? if you can't, please stop trolling and go away. as far as i know, no Dual CDMA-GSM Android phone has better specs than this HTC Desire VC... for now. and its price is only US$320 (SIM free / unlocked version).

  • There is no HD recording (720p) ? Or its just something slightly omitted in specification ?

  • Lolzzz@ adreno 200... this is worse than 2 year old budget specs

  • Now with all these features yet missing just a simple front cam???

  • why not adobe flash player support,only lite(useless)

  • No offence but... This phone's name makes me think about WC.

  • cause it's a cdma phone

  • cause it's CDMA phone. the GSM band is intended for roaming purpose only. and btw, it's cheap mid-range phone. so you can't expect it to have hi-level specifications.

  • the specs is wrong. this phone is using Qualcomm MSM7627A. not MSM7227A.

  • please review this phone.....

  • Guyzzz....its a dual sim phone....which is like a boon for me.....I was looking for a gud dual sim android phone from htc....its gr8.

  • no hd video, no front camera, only adreno 200 gpu and a qualcomm 7227. and it will cost a lot more than 300 euros... are they mad??

  • Adreno 200 is the best for You. Eat it, smell it, pay for it.

  • same phones same phones same phones.. same phones

  • HTC phones look fantastic and its very fast. The HTC Sence interface its very Pretty. And body its very sold.

  • it comes to Indonesian this month I can understand no 3G, but no EDGE as well?? HTC what have you been thinking!?

  • HTC is getting cheap they make low quality phones using old CPU and GPU, no front camera and 512RAM guarantees noticeable lags. I see the shifting of their strategy. First!

  • wow this is best phone
