If you’re a bit on the HARDCORE side of things when it comes to Android, you’ll be happy to hear that a power-user of Android forum Modaco has successfully “rooted” the HTC Desire – and published an exhaustive step-by-step guide on how to do it yourself.

Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
