HTC Desire 500 Review

HTC indicated it wants to go down market with its Android phones, risking to be crowded out of the exploding mid- and entry-level segments otherwise, and phones like the Desire 500 are a good indication of its strategy. The handset sports a youthful, catchy design, with internals that are a mixed bag of midrange to low-end components, all for a decent price. Will the Desire 500 succeed in its market-expansion mission the way it is built? Read on to find out...

Does anyone know how high is it's SAR value in EU?

What lags?! I've been using this phone for a few months and everything runs perfectly! If you have any problems just install Clean Master and turn 'autokill' on. It kills useless processes automatically.
