I have never gone android and from the specs it is going to be a great phone. Dear members will I be disappointed if I get rid of my leo and go for it? What is the main differences between windows pc and android ? Or would you rather I wait for windows 7 I am used to. But I am greatly interested!
Not much of an answer, but I'm definitely looking at replacing my HD2/Leo with a Desire HD. It really is the phone I've been waiting for HTC to come out with.
For me its Android over anything,
The main difference is that android if very customizable and all open source, you wont be disappointed if you ditch your Leo for this phone, specs wise its amazing and now that is running new HTC sence UI. I think that you will be very happy with Android.
Any other question, feel free to PM me or anything.
I think I will be replacing my HD2 with this. Been running Android on my HD2 for a few days, and I love it. Given that the Desire HD is the same size, and better hardware than the HD2, I think it's a winner!
I as well have The HD2 with the android running and also helped 2 other peple get their HD2's setup with android. I love it over windows. The windows pretty customizable to a certain point and I do like it too but like is not the word for the android stuff. I had the G1 and it took a cyanogen beating and kept on ticking. And then I went to the HD2 and as soon as I saw roms for it Ii went to town on it but I slammed on the brakes with the froyo rom from Darkstone and Its whats running right now. So to say Im looking forward to this Desire Phone is an understatement. Im real excited WOO!
Load up Android on your HD2 and take it for a test drive. They have a bunch of choices in the HD2 forum so you can get a feel for it to see if you like it.
If wealthy, buy Desire HD.
If not so well off, try Android on HD2, if it you like it and want to pay for extra hardware on Desire HD you can wait until no longer brand new tech, and price drops a little.
If not cash rich, wait for Desire HD rom to be ported onto HD2 to replace WinMo.
All you lose is extra 3 megs on camera (not a big deal)
Extra internal memory (can do without)
Slightly faster cpu.
Movie playback quality?
The Desire HD is great but nothing special above the HD2..I mean sure it's primary Os is Android but that's all you get. The Hd2 runs Android,Wm and Ubuntu,if that's not cool enough then i dnt knw wat is. IMO the HD2 will most likely become the phone of legends, something that fathers tell their kids about wen their not busy admiring its sheer brilliance,the one that broke all the rules *And yes i'm aware of the D'HD specs,which r tempting but not worth sacrificing the Hd2*
This is just the beginning teaser for Android superphone HTC & GSM. I see the HD2, EVO & D'HD pretty much being the same phone, different shell and different OS. In that light the format is a year old.
To quote them, HTC was/is brilliantly and quietly deliberate in having the Android-GSM masses salivate from across fences they could not or would not cross. It's almost classic Apple (and believe me, I hate both Apple and admitting it).
When the HD2 released, and lets be honest, gimped with WinMo, there was a secret vault deep in the bowels of HTC with a killer phone that could pretty much end the consumer refresh cycle for 3+yrs.
Just look at the G1. One of the secret beauties of Android is that in the right circumstances, you can stretch a platform way beyond it's intended life. An Android HD2/GSM EVO would have been such a beast.
They didn't release it because it was technically not viable, lol. No. Because doing so would have been an early check mate.
Yes the competition would either have been scorched in such a scenario or, heaven forbid, cornered into a cold war where they might actually have delivered real value versus their stock and trade hype.
At the same time though, HTC would have cannibalized their entire line-up/sales inbetween. Plus there was the issue of giving an allowance for symbiosis between the hardware, the market and the Android platform to come to fruition.
Now we have the D'HD, why? Because the other OEM's, Gingerbread, dual cores and GPU's are on the horizon.
The next 3-9 months will be beautiful.

I like the optimism and brand patriotism in that post. But unfortunately due to the amount of sheep who see the iPhone as the be-all and end-all of mobile technology, the platform if used to it's full potential still wouldn't have been able to take away a decent enough chunk of the iPhone sales.
The main reason is marketing. Apple have an army of marketing geniuses, with a bank balance to replace the ocean with. Coupled with the "elitist" angle that apple have, people have, do, and will continue to buy them because they don't know any better. If anyone saw the HTC Evo vs iPhone 4 video, you'll know what I mean - because it's the unfortunate truth.
When the HD2 came out, HTC were still relatively unheard of in the grand scheme of things. The Desire is what bought them into the open (at least in the UK anyway, despite a good marketing effort with the Hero).
The sad reality of it all, is that HTC could cram a 2GHz dual-core CPU, 3D screen, 2GB RAM, 64GB high-speed flash and a 720p display, all running on Honeycomb into a phone the size of an HD Mini, and people would still go for the Apple phone because it's Apple.
If the original iPhone was released today - I still reckon it would outsell most other smartphones in the public sector.
I still chuckle to myself when the iPhone came out without MMS, and then Apple did something revolutionary and put MMS into a software update, and the world was alight with joy and praise!
Yet I'd had MMS on my SonyEricsson T68i a clear 6 years prior!
I had HD2...i sold it 2 month ago waiting for something like Desire HD...Now I'm waiting with my dummy in a pocket
Numbers are numbers. DHD is better in CPU,GPU,ROM,RAM,Camera,Video. OS is relative...depends who likes what. I prefer Android against WM 6.5... But, i would be almost perfect if they put SLCD and Aderno 220 in him...then there would be nothing better...but word "better" is relative...
I still have my HD2 (and HD) and considered porting it to Android but in the end I opted to keep it running WM and popped for the Galaxy S.
The Galaxy S is a great phone with some beautiful features but I do miss my HTC branded phone.
At the time I considered the Desire but needed something slightly bigger and with more features and seeing as the Evo didn't come to the UK, as said instead I chose the Samsung.
Now the Desire HD is coming I've been looking close as to what it may give me over the Galaxy S.
Apart from it's slightly larger screen I can't find anything that will draw me away and that worries me.
As said, I miss HTC Hardware and Sense. The new line of Sense looks better but is it enough.........
I am currently using a HD2, and well, after 10 months of usage, WM6.5 is practically crap: Many essential softwares which are needed were not preinstalled; even messaging application was crap... Internet browser was as slow, most importantly no flash... Then here comes the Android running on SD card... But still sucks big time, although the developers really put a lot of effort in it, but the lag, freezes, and incomplete applications are all making me feel more and more disappointed... Until the 15th of September 2010, when HTC revealed both DHD and Desire Z, my hope was relighted... A proper Android OS on a 4.3" screen... This is what I needed for long... The first thing I did was to preorder it immediately without even hesitating... From here I believe many can see how much hope i gave up on HD2... The disappointment was utter... Well, now I am just counting down everyday to my DHD reaching me... 20 more days to go~

i think the devices with dualcore that will be releasing in the next few monthes make me keep my hd2 for now , desire hd is not a big improvement to upgrade to it
Having neither the HD2 or the Desire HD and wanting a slice of the Android pie having whet my appetite with a Desire, what would you suggest?
I can get an HD2 for around £220 - £250 from eBay and run with Android courtesy of the devs, or I can fork out £470 on a native Android handset that does not seem to offer a great deal (for my use at least) over the HD2.
decisions, decisions ...
That's a toughy which only you can answer.....
Depends on how much you value some of the added benefits you can get with the dedicated Android.
I love my photography and although I have several cameras I still like to get the best out of whatever hardware is available.... That's one of the reasons I went for the Galaxy S over the Desire and now with the HD coming out.... well I'm still drawn to the Galaxy S.

Likewise but having been spoiled by Nokia I have reached the conclusion that anyone who is serious about using their phone for halfway decent shots when on the go should steer well clear of HTC!
Trouble is, the competition might have the hardware but the operating system is very dated. I want the bells and whistles Android has to offer but the hardware is lacking on this platform.
Android ported to HD2 will never be so smooth and good as Andoid on his original device. There will always be some little bugs and lags...and you'll never experience a true Android experiance... Better choose regular Desire than HD2 with Android... HD2 is made for WM

Agreed... That was one of the main reasons why I went for the Galaxy S over the Desire. The GS takes and shoots simply outstanding shots & video.
Maybe its just me but if you really want good pictures.....invest in a camera: s
The camera isn't fantastic but its decent and that's good enough the other features make up for it imo.

Now that the Desire HD and Desire Z are out, are you guys upgrading? For me, I just got the Desire a week ago and won't be upgrading for a while. The phone's good enough for me, don't want the bigger screen or the physical keyboard.
Seeing as most UK contracts are 18-24 months and the Desire has been out for 6 months I doubt anyone will be due an upgrade anytime soon...Some might buy SIM free but I won't (unless I can wrangle a free upgrade again)
I'll be sticking with my desire for a long while yet. It's a great handset. I know the specs of the HD are mouthwatering but not enough to make me part with the amount of cash they'll be asking for them.

I rather want the 6 month old Desire that I have than the Desire HD. I love my Desire except for the design of the phone and the battery. Desire HD doesn't offer a significant buff to either of those two things.
I'm too happy with the Desire to risk changing. The HD might have a bit better specs, but not that much. And besides, the batterytime on the HD must be crap...
Keeping my Desire until a Tegra2 phone with android shows up
I'll be sticking with the Desire - the hardware is only a tiny step up, and most of its features are in software anyway.
still got about 12months of contract left so i guess i will stick to my desire, cuz its an amazing phone + the hd is too big
Also sticking to my Desire.
HD is too large for me and Z has a physical keyboard I don't like.
Besides, Snapdragon 2 is kind of evolution, not a revolution, so I'll wait for next gen platforms, possibly Tegra 2.
I got my desire this week. am happy apart from the lack of storage for apps. am waiting in anticipation for custom roms that include a released desire HD rom!
Sticking with my Desire. The Desire HD is a big pay out for little improvement. My loyalties at the moment lie with Android as a superior OS to iOS4. I could be tempted away when we see what Samsung might reveal in the next twelve months to succeed the Galaxy S.
I'll stick with my beloved Desire. I don't want a keyboard, and I won't buy a phone with an HD suffix unless it's really HD. And when I hear HD, i have a screen resolution of 1280x720 or more. Yeah, I want that on a 3.7" screen. I don't want bigger screens, but higher resolutions
All I wanted from the beginning was a keyboard...
But 4 rows of keys really suck and are a big step backward, so I'll probably stick with my Desire.
Sticking to my desire...
I dont want keyboard and HD is just to big.
I'm sticking with my desire
Great phone one of the best
& i'm not interested in the other two bleh.
You guys made me feel better about my decision to dump Galaxy S and get Desire last week

Glad we made it I never regreted buying it.. except when I stare at those two damned scratches I have on my screen -.- I so miss the gorilla glass of the Samsung Galaxy S or the tempered glass of the iPhone.. but i think ill probably buy a new digitizer some day eventually...
As for the main question of the thread... ill keep mine aswell.. unless i convince some relative of mine to buy the HD on contract and i trade mine for his
I'm not. Got my Desire in June. I paid a little extra to get a 1-year contract instead of 2. Cause I know my Desire will not keep up with the real big boys for 2 full years.
I love my Desire right now and I'm sure I'll get the new HTC Sense officially or not.
The only thing I do think is that in the beginning I found my Desire huge. Now I find it quite small and kinda curious to how a 4.3" phone would be like.
I'm sticking with my Desire. Couldn't really care about the other 2, I have everything I want with this phone. All good features from those 2 will undoubtedly be ported to this, plus the fact we have a better screen is a no brainer. This is the best phone I've played on IMHO.
I'm tempted to get the HTC Desire HD but probably not getting it due to the price.
Let's see how long I can restrain myself..lol

Hi folks,
I've got an HTC hero with some modifications made to it. The hardware in that so called smartphone is not to good and it is a bit laggy (yes, even with overclocked cpu and custom kernel etc).
This new OS from Microsoft seems to get the job done pretty good but lets face it: the hardware underneath these latest phones are 1 generation.
I wanna buy a new phone and i want a hi-end windows phone 7 phone (thinking about samsung omina 7), but is it worth to buy one one, or should i wait for it to next year when they put in some new stuff like dual core processors n' ****?
What do you think?
/Richard
I suggest you to read this : http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/20/windows-phone-7-review/ and this http://www.theunwired.net/?item=tho...ons-and-live-tiles-anywhere-in-the-cloud&5669 and many other in the net and decide your for your self whether you wanted to pay a premium price for something that is not yet finish but has good options in 1-2 years down
It depends.
The hardware is pretty good at the moment and if you need a new phone then I recommend getting one but if you don't and you can wait for about 6 months then I would wait.
So it seems eveyoone hhas mixed reviews on the phone. Some people love it others dont. Can people but a few scentence review and there biggest problem. Most problems ive seen have been software.

For me, I'm really disappointed with the plastic body of the phone. It makes the phone looks like a toy when holding in hand despite being the flagship phone.
I don't care how strong the polycarbonate body is, even holding S2 feel better in the hand.

In my opinion, the One X looks much better built than the S2. The polycarbonate does not look cheap and plasticky.
If you can wait a month, the Galaxy S III will probably be announced, and the other competing phones like the Optimus 4x will start popping up. Really, this is the first quad-core phone and it is displaying all the telltale qualities of a 1.0 phone, despite HTC's supposed commitment to quality over quantity. This is also their first unibody polycarbonate phone, so two firsts is a really big gamble for a phone buyer. The first dual-core phone last year was the Optimus 2x. Tons of issues and even a class action lawsuit. Even if this is the one you plan to buy no matter what, I would still give it a month to iron out software kinks and hardware manufacturing issues, and then buy a later version of it.
Would be better to see what the competition comes out with and then making a decision. Also gives time for the price to drop.
To buy, or not to buy, that is the question.
I will probably wait till Galaxy S III gets released (22 may) and then decide.
The fact is that whatever phone you buy, a better one will be released soon enough afterwards that you'll wonder if you should have waited - but if you play that game, you end up waiting forever. Which is why I don't have a tablet yet.
With the One X, to some extent I think it depends on how much you like HTC Sense. The SGS3 might well have better specs, but I like Sense, so I wanted to stick with HTC.
I've only had it 2 days, so it's difficult to give a detailed opinion. But I like the feel of the phone, external build quality seems good, the screen is fantastic, and Sense 4.0 is a major improvement over previous versions. My only concern is the lack of a microSD card, but in all honesty I rarely filled up the 32GB card I had in my DHD, so I'm hoping that won't be an issue. The only issues I've seen so far are all software, and updates will come.
I haven't unlocked and rooted yet, as I have a 14 day cooling off period to see if I'll keep it or not. But early signs are that I will.
I do like sense a lot it complements android for me. Are mist issues softwaree or hardware

Should screen flickering and lag stop me from buying?
My 2 year-old Desire has almost had its time, since it started randomly corrupting my card over the last couple of months so I've been looking for a new phone. The moment I saw the One X, I knew this phone was for me - big screen, a a truckload of cores, ICS w/ hardware buttons, too-large internal storage, awesome camera. Under no circumstances am I buying a Samsung or LG phone, so waiting for the competition is off my to-do list and I love and have always loved (even much more since ICS came around) HTC Sense, so here goes the other major complaint I've seen. To be honest, I don't care if video recording doesn't look pristine - I'll probably never use it anyway.
My only concern is about a couple of problems I've read about on this forum - screen flickering and scrolling lag. I know there are also some apps missing from the X's play store, but I'm almost certain they'll be back with Tegra 3 - optimized versions very soon, along with many other interesting new one. So the question is as follows: Are these 2 problems big enough to hold me back until the next device I like (which may well be the next high-end HTC)? What would you do? Thanks!

Hello, I am coming from LG optimus 2x zone. After i brick my o2x (Dropped) I decided to buy a new phone.
I was looking for phones that are worth to buy.
The LG Optimus 4x HD and the HTC One X
What do you think is it worth buying a One X today ? (Since i don't want to buy LG phone again! Support and firmware updates on LG SUCK)
2. Is there something i should know about One X before buying (Other than that it is awesome) ( I had an HTC HD2 it had a hardware problem with touchscreen i ask for something like this) I read about many bugs (Screen WiFi etc etc..) But i don't want to believe what other people say about this phone i want to hear what users says
EDIT: I am thinking to buy this phone! even if there are a few bugs with it
In my opinion this phone is much better than any phone on the market today (Value for money) . This phone isn't just impressive specs written on white piece of papper It does have style it does have soul. Everytime i come accross it on any shop just screams BUY ME BUY ME PLZZ
Yes you should know many things before buying.
1- some models of one x have wifi problem which is hardware issue also confirmed by htc.
2- battery will not lasts more than 3-4 hours(screen on time) no matter which rom you used.
3-Its camera is not in proper in shape in my opinion to keep it on rough surface. Camera lens got many scratches because of that.
4-front facing cam is not so good may be its mine but worse than my previous phone(galaxy s2).
If you can increase your budget buy a hox+ instead because i think as hox was the trial and hox+ was the finished product by htc. I jave not used hox+ so cant say much about that.
but still if you want to buy hox you will definetely not regret other than the battery life.
Because i think if you are putting money on this you must know all the negative points rather than all plus points which are many in hox no doubts.

About battery life my current o2x lasts arround 2-3 hours of intensive use (Its 3 years old) So ill be happy with that battery
About wifi problem if someone can tell me which models does have it? And is it fixable ?

HTC's Sense interface is so unusual that you have to love it or hate it.
HOX itself is a good phone. As I've understood the WiFi issue is on earlier models. (for example none of the 16gb version should have it).
Battery is a disgrace. Mine only last around 2,5-3 hours screen on time (with AOSP rom). I used to have a Samsung Galaxy Ace some time ago and that ****ty phone could last for more than twice of my HOX.
Some early models did also have some screen tint problem. I think it was the glue between lcd and digitizer. This should also not happen on later models.
As i've understood HOX+ is not that much better (slightly better battery but not much).
But if the options are 4x and HOX then it's a no brainer.. Get the HOX. A friend of mine has the 4x (also Tegra 3) and if I compare the smoothness of stock roms than it seems like HOX is in another league. 4x just lags at everything (did some random test and HTC was a clear winner).
Are there any other phones you like at that price range in your country? (Nexus5 costs around 450$ where i live... and HOX still costs around 400$)

In my country the prices between nexus 5 and Hox are not that much close... I saw a real 4x hd today in a shop the guy opened it for me and really it sux as i expected!
So nexus 4 optimus G and one x (I know many of you will say the nexus 4 ftw but the price difference....it is affordable for me but why do i pay extra for almost same phone... no sense)

All three phones are great but i I were to choose I'd got with the G.. It's got a better CPU, twice the RAM, Bigger battery and LTE...
I'd buy a nexus 4 too. Tegra 3 is less powerful than nexus's snapdragon, it gets hot quite easily and battery life is quite bad.
Moreover HOX probably already got it's last update.
I'm not saying that it is a bad smartphone, i personally love it, sense 5 is great, it has an amazing screen and i'm still happy of my choice, but when i see nexus's smoothness and it's updates i think that it would have been better to buy it, even if it isn't as good looking as my HOX.

hey guy i was in EXACTLY the same situation as u. I came from the Tmobile G2x which was promised ICS but LG/NVIDIA/Tmobile didnt deliver.
I have bought the international version, I like it but it does have the wifi problem. I think its a great phone but if ur a guy that likes flashing stuff or needs alot of battery life i wouldnt recommend it. also, it seems like the same kind of situation might happen as what happened with the G2x, cause of tegra 3(from what i have read) its going to be hard to get 4.4 unless we get the official version first. Thus, i would stay clear. I think this kind of situation is negated from the new HTC one but in the s3/HOX/LGOG/N4 generation, the N4/S3 is definately the way to go.
hope this helps, I want peopel to learn from my mistakes
I need the latest software cause thats the geek i am but if ur content with what u have i think this is a great phone.

Ok to be honest i do flash stuff... but the point is if i pay for n4 then i would go for the optimus G if i pay and that i will add little more and i will buy n5
And the difference between the n5 and the G2 isn't that big either... wtf confusing situation i said and i will buy the hox. Here with the help of users and researches on the internet i have seen it's weak points so i won't be buying one with defect (i hope)

lg optimus g is limited in dev. I say if ur limited in budget find a nice used n4. if ur not get an n5. the differences is the LG counterpart usually are limited in dev. Also, I should say, i didnt have the wifi problem for a while until i first dropped it and from then on i got it.
The HOX is a great phone, if i give it to my family they would love it.... idk if its for the techie now tho.
the newer phones HTC ONE/S4/N5 are better in getting updates i think but then they are more expensive

Don't care about wifi i guess 20-30$ on local shop should fix it but the point is that maybe even if i drop it wont be problem there...
Is it still great device

if it wasnt for this stupid wifi problem (Which there is a workaround but it requires opening up the phone. i havent gotten around to it yet) this is a great phone esp the price it is sold at. The one weakness i would say is battery. But again, if ur statisfied with maybe not getting 4.4+ then yeah definately get it
