When in the same proximity as a wireless Internet router, users can take advantage of WIFI connectivity for an enhanced browsing experience. The HTC Desire HD also comes with Bluetooth and micro USB connections as standard which allow users to connect the handset to compatible hardware devices.

Operating at 3264x 2448 pixels, it takes superb quality still images, and features autofocus, face detection and a dual-LED flash. Geo-tagging is also provided, which functions thanks to GPS.
