http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/11/jt2012-11-1412-11-16600.jpg Before we go into more detail on HTC’s Desire X, cast your memory back to a time before the outfit announced the “One” line of Android phones. You may remember names such as Wildfire, Sensation, Rhyme and, of course, Desire. Likewise, you may also remember a certain amount of company talk about its plans to simplify its Android offerings, and turn out phones at a slower, more considered pace. So, it was a little confusing when we first heard about the Desire X. HTC already had an affordable phone, the One V, but seemingly deemed it not affordable enough – and the Desire C already fills the most entry-level position. With a 1GHz dual-core processor, a WVGA (800 x 480) display and a 5-megapixel camera, the specs are from the same era as the OG Desire, but with a slightly more current price: €299 in Europe. So, stripped of any “One” b*****ng, but bearing a name that many will remember fondly, is the Desire X a good phone that’s been reinvented, or just a throwback from HTC of old? We spent some time in its company to find out for ourselves.Gallery: HTC Desire X review
