If you'd rather have cash in the bank than a top-end phone in your pocket, cast your eyes over the HTC Desire It's a 4. The Desire tackles the essentials well, doesn't cost the Earth and has a more interesting design than most budget smart phones. The Desire is 3G only too, so you'll need to look higher up if you want faster 4G speeds.

If money is your chief concern though, take a look at the Nokia Lumia You will have a much smaller selection of apps to choose from though. With its glossy white back and colourful bright blue accents, the Desire is one of the most attractive budget handsets I've seen in a while. It's eye-catching, fun, and above all stands out from the usual slew of black and grey mobiles that you'd typically find for this price.

It's available in white, with red accents too if blue's not your thing, or you could ditch the colour completely and opt for the all black model -- but that's just not as fun. The shell is made from glossy plastic. It doesn't have the same luxurious aesthetic as the all-metal HTC One, but it does cost a lot less, so it's probably a fair compromise. It feels pretty sturdy though and I find the design generally falls on the side of stylish, rather than cheap. It measures mm long and 67mm wide, which is quite big, considering its 4.

That's due to its fairly wide bezels and large amount of room above and below the screen. The space above the screen houses what looks like the same front-facing Boomsound speaker from the HTC One, but it's only the speaker for making calls, rather than the loudspeaker for playing music. The loudspeaker for music is around the back.

It bears the Beats audio name and I found it to be sufficiently loud for YouTube in the kitchen, but you'll want to use headphones to get decent sound quality. Built into the blue edging on the right hand side are the volume buttons. They sit flush with the surround, so they're quite difficult to find by feel alone, particularly when the phone's in your pocket. You'll find the usual 3. Under the plastic case is a microSD card slot, which allows you to expand the meagre 4GB of internal storage.

Thankfully, you can move some apps to the SD card too. The 4. It naturally doesn't have anything like the same pin-sharp resolution as its top-end sibling -- small text and icon edges look a little fuzzy -- but it's perfectly adequate for most tasks like tweeting and posting updates to Facebook.

It's not the brightest display I've ever laid my hands on, but it was at least bright enough to counter some of the reflections from the CNET UK office lights. It might not stand up too well to the bright summer sun, but if you don't plan on leaving England, that's not going to be a problem for you. It has fairly decent colours -- perfectly fine for some Netflix shows -- and its viewing angles are good. It's certainly among the better quality displays I've seen on budget phones. The Desire comes running Android 4.

Most Android phones -- even budget ones -- tend to arrive with the more up to date 4. Still, you might not really notice it has older software on board as HTC has slapped its Sense 5 interface over the top, dramatically changing the look of Android.

It still has the basic Android functionality, including multiple homescreens to pop apps and widgets down, and an app menu where all your apps are stored. Visually, things are very different. The app menu has a very minimalist look, with wide-spaced icons in a constant list. A weather app sits at the top too, in case you can't bear to return to the homescreen to see if it's raining.

I found the Sense interface on the HTC One very simple to get to grips with and I'm happy to say it's just as easy here.
