Top 10 articles: HTC Desire HD and the iPhone 4

Well, it's been a while, but Apple's iPhone 4 has been knocked off the top spot for V3.co.uk readers this week.

The number one article concerned leaked specifications for the much-anticipated HTC Desire HD smartphone, and the number two was our rundown of the top 10 alternatives to the iPhone.

The Apple handset did make it into the top 10 this week, but for all the wrong reasons. Users have experienced trouble with the iOS 4.0.1 update, and proud owners of the iPhone 4 are to be fobbed off with a free rubber band to help with the antenna problems.

Microsoft, meanwhile, has warned of yet another zero-day flaw, and announced the arrival of the Windows Phone 7 Technical Preview.

Also popular was the latest on the Motorola Droid X, the catastrophic decline in online readers of The Times, and the news that Chile has voted through a net neutrality bill.
