I have bought the 'HTC Desire 501' in the month on Dec 2013. Being aware of that, this model is newly launched and can be more prone to complaints. But seeing the configurations, the HTC brand i went for it and i don’t feel it’s a wrong choice.nIt has given all possible features in its price limit.nPros:n-- Slim and sleek build with trendy color, feels good when you hold it. Looks similar to any high end phonen-- The Dual sim functioning is very nice and comfortable to use.n-- i am not a gamer and performance freak so happy to use this phone for as a web surfing, mailing and media. Satisfied...n-- Camera also quite good, specially the front cam with 2.00 MPn-- Very sophisticated and easy interface with smooth touch screen, nothing bad to say.n-- Got 25 GB space in Drop box with thisnnCons:n-- Headphone quality can be much better, though beats audio gives a good outputn-- No option for switching off the 'Cell broadcast message’, so you keep getting loads of service msg.

I bought this phone with my best friend after lot of brain storming. Wanted to buy the Samsung Galaxy Grand or the Sony Xperia C. HTC desire 501 was as good as the Samsung Grand and Xperia C. Here are my thoughts on an amazing phone. all my friends and colleagues(neeraj, arun) told me good choice. Totally I satisfied with the product very much.
