HTC Desire for Telus shipping with Sony LCD display, not AMOLED

Telus has announced it will soon be offering HTC’s Desire Android smartphone – but with one big change.  It will have a Sony LCD, not a Samsung AMOLED display.

Telus did not say when it would offer the phone or for how much it would sell the Desire.

Samsung Moment for Sprint – Unboxing video

Here’s a quick unboxing and initial hands-on with the Samsung Moment. Without getting into a full review, which I’m not ready for, here are my initial impressions of the device.

The keyboard is …
