photo of my phones with HTC sence
You really can see how differently the screens show colour! Which do you prefer and how does the HD2 run Android well?
android VERY beta on HD2 atm but moving fast. To answer ur questen soon as its stable on HD2 i will dump my desire as i love the big screen.
Looks cool, do love the look and feel of the HD2 0 the screen is mahoosive!
Is that problems with the battery state and the signal on the android system amongst others?
HD2 android VERY beta but moving so fast its unereal 4 days ago you could not boot linux on a HD2
the screen difference is very visible....although awsome project for the HD2...amazing hardware does amazing stuff
Oh sweet. I will certainly be giving this a play on my HD2 for sure the minute it's stable.
Haven't looked in on the HD2 forum for a few days..... I'm heading straight there.
Can you do some Videos?
That almost makes me wanna keep my HD2

Perso I got a Touch HD and I'm waiting for my Desire.
So, of course, I think it's a good idea buddy ;-)
I’m one of the many long faces, today i didn’t receive my desire
The HD is not bad device but is little bit sloWwwwwWWw
Yes I’m changing it for HTC Desire.
Yea I have ordered a desire, coming from a HD. HD is a beautiful device, but lags quite a bit. Only way to use it smoothly is running wm6.1 with m2.1, which just sucks anway lol.
If only a new version of the hd came out with snapdragon, android etc. Would be nice. Still feel the HD is one of the sexiest devices....

That's a HD2 more than a HD.
I had my HD for around a year, it died on me due to constantly flashing, hard resets and WinMo in general.
I would be going towards WinMo ever again ... unless WP7 is leagues ahead and even then I prefer the Android freel (I own a Zune HD).
I think the Desire is going to be miles better in so many ways. Such as:
REAL FLIPPING KEYS! I hated the fact the HD didn't "catch" my touches sometimes.
Better camera, the HD camera was slow and a pain.
Android > WM 6 or 6.5
Faster ... that's a given ...
Sense; the real Sense UI!
That's just a summary list off the top of my head.
Same here, i'm moving from Touch HD to Desire and can't wait for it.
Even thou last sense ui version extracted from touch pro 2 is smooth and light, on touch hd animations and the overall usage of the phone is still a bit slow for my tastes.
I sold my HTC Touch HD few weeks ago because this phone, now I use one old Nokia E51 and I'm waiting HTC Desire to become available in on-line markets I have pre-ordered it about a 2-3 weeks ago,
I think that change is worthed:
Faster device,
As beautiful as HD,
Android is better,
Better screen,
Hardware buttons (this is better for me).
Personally I would move from any Windows Mobile device, Android is far superior in every way. Put it this way, I have a Hero and I am upgrading to a Desire.......
As the title suggests i have a HD2 and can get a new phone from Vodafone, wondering if the texting is better than the HD2 (its my biggest gripe with the HD2).
Also slightly concerned that the screen isn't as good now in the newer desire's is this really an issue ?
I love my HD2 but i had an android phone before and i really like android too, i have the android desire rom also on my HD2 so i have been playing about with android on it also, but my missus has got a HD mini and the screen seems more accurate to use than my HD2 even though its smaller...
Anyone used both, and how would you compare the phones, i have no issue's with the HD2 other than texting...
Do i get a desire or do i wait anything else coming out soon...
Cheers for any info...
I've got both (HD2 stock 1.66; Desire stock Froyo)
What is your texting problem?
The HD2 keyboard wasn't the best but I recently returned my phone because I had display problems and HTC installed hotfix 08787, which greatly improved typing accuracy. Having said that I've got swype on both so its not much of an issue anyway.
I mostly use the HD2. When I swap to the Desire I have a couple of days of 'wow this is great' but then I always go back to the HD2 because
1. The desire screen is tiny in comparison
2. I can tweak things on the HD2 that I can't on the Desire (not rooted yet). My HD2 is exactly how I want it; my Desire isn't. OK if I root perhaps I can get the same level of customisation...perhaps.
3. I use Winmo app 'Secubox' everyday and there's no Android equivalent
I haven't installed Android on my HD2 yet, but the point is that you can, giving you the best of both worlds?
I have installed the Hotfix and it has helped but it can be very laggy when texting...
I'm running the energy rom as he doesn't use the HTC messaging which improves the lag, but its still not as fluid as say an Iphone.
I have an early HD2 don't know if the screens are the same on all hd2's but as i've mentioned typing on my missus HD mini is so much more pleasant...
I don't like swype tried it and its not for me...
I had an HD2 and got so p*ssed off with winmo and the texting problem that I got a desire (free upgrade).
The HD2 is now on ebay a month after having the Desire.
Different class.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Had the HD2 for 7 months, only worked properly after I baked my own custom ROM.
Desire, out the box, is amazing! Forget about the HD2 screen, Desire is more than big enough and you can use it in one hand!! The colours are another level (not seen the SLCD Desire so can't comment on that) and Android is just a better phone.
I also had major issues with the HD2 keyboard basically ignoring what I was pressing and doing it's own thing. Don't get that on the Desire so that alone is worth swapping.
Never been happier! I've just today gone back to the stock 2.2 ROM as there was a slightly newer version out. Will most likely root again once the S-OFF hack has gone public
I had an HD2 for 5 months I loved the screen! That was basically it..but overall it was a great phone! (hated WinMo)
But i am so much happier now with the desire
You won't be dissapointed.
Wait for the upcoming Desire HD ... September 15, 2010.
HTC will announce it in London.
I have both the HD2 and Desire - HD2 screen cracked and got the Desire as the store had no HD2s in stock.
Both are good phones - I actually prefer the Sense implementation on the HD2, but that's most likely because I'm more used to it. The screen was obviously a nice bonus. While the Desire felt small at first and probably still does, it is entirely an artifact of coming from that huge screen. App choice is far better on the Desire though.
I'm on Vodafone as well. I'd say wait for the Desire HD - from what's been leaked it's a Desireified HD2/Evo, lso you'll get the best of both worlds. You don't gain that much going from HD2 to Desire, not enough to burn an upgrade on, especially not so close to a new release
Yeah sounds like good advice didn't realise till today that HTC are making some announcements on the 15th, will defo wait for now...
Hi Guys
I was on WM till a year ago (Blackstone) and then switched to an iPhone 3GS (jailbroken) which has been good but restrictive in terms of how I want my phone to look and work.
I have been watching the development of Android and think that the time is right to now switch to this OS.
I am just wondering that as my first Android device should I go with the Desire or go for the new Desire HD?
Will I be able to use all the existing Android Aps on the DHD or am I better of in terms of Aps choice to stick to the Desire?
Don't get me wrong the DHD's bigger screen size and faster processor and upgraded UI are appealing but at the end of the day this phone is used to run my business and life so its critical for me.
Thanks for reading and responding.

the desire hd does have more horsepower than our desires, but saying that the desire is no slob, the desire HD also has a bigger screen, but on the other hand the desire already has a massive community here, steps have already been taken to port the desire hd rom and sence to our devices, if you get a desire hd, you will be waiting a good few months before things really kick off in terms of development
I would go for Desire. Coming from iphone 3GS, Desire HD might feel excessively large and not practical. Besides, Desire already has a good community behind it.
Some say there is no big enough screen. I say D HD is quite big. Played with it yesterday. Big.
Go for Desire! You will love it!
How come HD2 can have wm 6.5, android,meego and wp7?

Because it's an old device who turned into a "testmachine".

HAHAHA
But seriously
i may be wrong but i think it has the same specs
I have put on Android/DHD ROM on my HD2 and it runs very well (my Desire still runs a non DHD ROM)
its an old device with decent hardware.
most stuff nowadays is not far off what a hd2 is anyhow - and why would you want to dual boot anyway - isnt android good enough?
Im not jealous of the HD2 wtf lol

Just my thought, but probably cause it's great hardware with bad software. The Desire, or any other Android phone does not suffer form the ****ty software so it's less interesting to get other software running on it.
im jealous of its design. It looks better than all phones. I love analog buttons...

Yes, exactly what I was thinking. The difference between running WM6.X and Android on there is miles apart.

I'm too, but size is annoyed me after one year of usage...
HD2 is a miracle device, it's refresh you after every Rom flash as itself

Buy yourself one....

I LOVE ANDROID PHONES ESP. DESIRE BECAUSE (OF ITS SPEED, SIMPLICITY AND UI) IT DOESNT CRASH ON YOU WHILE CALLING, DOESNT RESTART RANDOMLY, ETC WHICH I HAD WITH ALMOST ALL MY WM 6.5 DEVICES WITH THE LAST BEING XPERIA X1.
BUT ON AN ANOTHER NOTE I WOULDNT MIND TESTING DIFFERENT OSs LIKE I DO ON MY VAIO OR DELL. DONT TELL ME YOU PEOPLE ARE NOT TEMPTED.
AND YES I AM CONSIDERING BUYING A USED HD2 TO JUST TEST OUT THESE OSs.
SORRY FOR THE CAPS.
IMHO I don't care One os is enough to personalize, save contacts, sms, photos etc....with two or more I guess I'd get crazy!!
I have to agree - its nice to try/trial (I have a HTC Touch HD with the SD bootable version of android) and to play with - but one OS is decent enough I think...
There was a poll on the hd2 thread a little while ago and it looked like about half of the users were using an android OS now - so as long as you have that option you're doing alright!
I don't rate the HD2, I had it for a year. It's got a crap battery life, it's big, the one single bar for all of the buttons isn't a brilliant design. I don't care much for dual booting any of the five or more OS's it can run, the Desire is a far better device and I am glad I switched.
I have both the HD2 and Desire. For a every day android device, my preference goes to the Desire. IMO the Desire is a native android device and will always run android better. Even with nand on the HD2, it still has it's problems.
hey guys,
came across this tour of the HD2 software:

It looks soooo nice! i know winmobile is **** and nothing compared to android, but htc has done a really nice job on skinning it and the speed it just phenomenal!
was wondering if it was possible to get this rom on our phones, or is that just completely impossible?
It was also really smooth on my Touch Diamond 2 and Touch Pro 2, running WinMo 6.5.5 was as nice and smooth as Android on my DZ..
Its more than just a theme though. It was a complete OS GUI integration replacing many of the corporate boring Windows Mobile functions with pretty Sense ones. Pitty it didn't catch on, It was actually a decent effort.
I have the Desire Z with sense and TBH, it was good enough that my DZ home screens are not far off what I had on WinMo.
