but,still answer in unaswerd,is this true?!!
maybe this 5gr in bruto weight 135gr for Desire mean metal against
N1 130grams plastik,I dont now maybe our bodycits are both
made from plastik-meta
You can give us answer

Just let it go, both phones are great.
Peace and love bro, peace and love!

get a life man, eveyones entitled to there opinion, oh n btw if any here actually wanted a n1 over a desire wouldnt they have bought one instead as its cheaper? now chop chop back to the land of less ram

I think they are both pretty well built phones.
There isn't much difference between them both.

I can't say I miss that second mic...

Haha, you'd think Nexus One and Desire users should actually be all cuddly and warm with each other. Both phones are pretty damn close to each other... not only by specs. It's just the software that makes a real difference. And yeah, I do have used both...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I dont think any phone I've ever had has had two mics, Never stopped me doing stuff with it, Unless im going to be using voice searching in a loud place or something, Which I never do. Also some of the desire is metal, and that part is easily dented I'd hate to see a dropped Nexus one, Ill stick with not dentable not scratchable plastic thank you very much

just some advantages that i noticed for desire.. fm radio + sound voulme more then nexus.. but common hardware is same just skin different for both build..

these phones are twin brothers

yes I now,almost everything
but this about difrences between phones = plastik cheap body of Desire
this irritating me mostly,as I now Nexus 1 is also made plasticly
becouse this phoines are twins meaning thay are made from same ****

Both phones are from the same company. The Nexus one is Google begging HTC to make them a phone and the Desire is HTC doing an equal phone to balance the market. Both phones might have their pros and cons, thats why users will love more one than another, but that doesnt make the other a ****ty piece of plastic...
You have to be open-minded and know the opinion of just few people doesnt make a solid statement.

Plastic, plastic, maybe you prefer a nice metalic body, so nice it's like a Faraday cage, so well protected that even your network provider can't reach your phone like... no, I won't say it

In my opinion, they are pretty much the same thing. Nexus1 is sexier tho, and I really like that trackball, but I think the optical one (which Desire has) is more accurate. Desire still beats N1 and I relaly love the fact that Desire has multitouch, which is a big plus for me against N1. I'll get my Desire at the end of August and I am waaaaay too excited about it. I can't wait (properly speaking).

Does it make a huge difference?
I did some incredibly unscientific tests (with a Desire), making calls and recording the other end. Even with a metric ton of white noise at quite high volumes, I could still hear myself clearly. Of course it didn't eradicate the noise, but it was at quite a low volume compared to my voice.
I'm sure someone might be able to pick fault with said test, but it leaves me satisfied.

I don't remember which site but i once read a review that had a video comparison between the effects of the lack of a second mic compared to N1...
Apparently the second noise canceling mic makes the background sound weird and robotic which IMO is very annoying. This is one of the main reason why I chose Desire over Nexus.
I can imagine how much you love your desire to take offense at the comment. But everyone are entitled their own opinion... It's like how I bash Iphones and my friend bash Android phones... But we don't argue over it. Simply Pointless.

Both phones are pretty much identical, only real difference is the noise cancelling (unnecessary) mic on the N1. Looks like the N1 owner is jealous of the Desire

And I can't see how anybody can say the build quality of the Desire is bad... Okay, maybe it's not quite as sturdy as my old iPhone, but if certainly feels more solid than anything else I've ever owned (and if you go back to older HTC devices like the TyTN and even the much more recent G1 you'll see immediately how much HTC have come on in build quality. Having said that, devices with sliding keyboards, with the exception of my old Psion Series 5, always feel flimsy to me.) Even the battery door doesn't feel too bad when it's attached to the phone (although I find removing it a bit unnerving.)
Plus, plastic tends to bounce when dropped, metal dents and looks hideous, like the back panel of my old iPhone. I'd rather have a well-made, solid plastic device than a metal one. My original-style (Polycarbonate) MacBook certainly looks better after 3 years of abuse than any of my previous (Aluminium) PowerBooks did!

I think the ted baker is actually the elfin. Had a friend who owned one.So more memory than the 'original' one.
you can purchase a nice cover from seidoonline.com. They come in a variety of colors and are the quality is pretty good.

ahh i hope this is right, makes the scrifice worth it
It's not often the postman brings me a lilac coloured Pocket PC wink.gif It's not often I get excited about the arrival of a lilac coloured Pocket PC either, but in the case of the new HTC / Ted Baker Needle, the excitement was more around the unknown than any hot new features or specs.
So here it is... and it has some surprises in store!
The Ted Baker Needle is a HTC Touch variant - exclusive to Carphone Warehouse in the UK - and is a result of HTC / CPW's partnership with Ted Baker, a UK clothing brand.
Over and above the standard HTC Touch specs (200MHZ TI OMAP, 2 MP camera, TouchFlo etc. etc.), the Needle brings:
* Customised branded startup and home screens
* A different keypad design (which matches that of the 'O2 XDA Nova' in Germany)
* An actually-not-too-bad-in-the-flesh lilac colouring
* Ted Baker external branding
* 256 MB ROM / 128MB RAM
* An updated ROM build featuring HTC's new 12 / 20 key software keypads
I dig it. Its a great phone and a nice color, plus its great because you know its a phone that not too many people have. I personally hate when everyone has the same phone as me.
People think the phone or phone user is gay because of the color? Thats the trashiest thing I have ever heard. The color is nice and the phone is great. Let's have a little security in ones lives, ok?
Its no different from the Prada, Armani or B-Phone.
i have to say the more i look at it i get used to it.....
Happy with it
Just my say got the tedbaker of ebay..Must be the only 1 in CYPRUS....Need to separete from the crowb..TOP PHONE
are the buttons in other place??? have they moved in that cover?
just picked it up, i hate the color so ill be lookin for a case asap, also the buttons are different, so id imagine a replacement case is outta the question, the rom layout is absolutely terrible, the internal keyboard takes up 80% of the screen, and is just nasty
how is the start up animation????? can you upload it
when i saw the picture you posted i was almost sick but walking around town yesterday i saw the ted baker version and i (dont tell anyone mind) liked it alot i like having a different phone to everyone i got the black elf at the mo but my white elfin should be here soon
Believe it or not, I actually sold my white elfin (noone thinks THAT ONE is gay?) to get the ted baker needle and I love it. I just love it.
Call me gay anytime, I don't give a tiny little rat's @ss. Lilac anytime over white. I would've preferred silver like the ipods, but lilac is very nice too. I used to have the plain jane black elf, and I saw the other one too (kinda dark gold) and I think lilac is for me. One thing though, the white elfin has some kind of special enamel on it that makes it both shiny and slippery, and more resistant to cracks, and that would have been nice to have that in lilac because a lot of them get cracks on the upper left top corner.

Titanium bumper for Xperia arc (looks sleek and no drop worries)

this japanese site has the best quality accessories for Xperia in general
i have recently ordered this bumper for my Arc and i am pleased with it. looks sleek,sexy,unique and i have gotten great compliments when people saw it. also it has a high quality feel to its hold. it comes in 6 colors
the price is high but try working your charm with the sellers.
note 1) i have no bonds with the sellers so dont ask me for help
note 2) if you order , go easy on the screws and no need for muscles or else you will mess up the screws and have to customize your own or order them from the ebay seller for 10 dollars
this bumper keeps the back and front revealed and maintains the curve of the arc.
whether you think its nice or ugly, believe me you would rather put this on the phone than seeing scratches and chips on your phone.
im only giving my opinion and everyone has their own
here are some pics for my order

Looks ridiculous imo and not sure it can be classed as sleek given how much extra it adds to the phone.

i respect your opinion but,
some people drop their phones many times during the day; in a few weeks the phone will look ridiculous with all the scratches and maybe even cracks which will make a person hate their phone and cant afford to change.
so this would be sleek in a way for the protection you get.
it does add a little more weight and a little width only on the edgesbut still i get a decent grip on it.
the otter box is not that attractive(people just got used to seeing them) and it adds so much weight and bulkyness to phones, yet most iphone users use them for protection.
i know it will not be sold here locally
if i can see it and try it on my unit ill probably take the black one
silver arc and silver bumper makes it more bigger

Yeah I think it looks ugly. I wish there were some bumper case like the iPhone.
With that u can drop your phone all the time on the floor
I just have a normal rubberised case and 2 screen protectors on and that works perfectly fine, and my case only adds a few millimetres not a few centimetres

looks wicked....
ouch...the price....
This seems a little excessive, although no doubt will make the phone pretty much indestructible.
But.......how many people here bought the Arc because of how it looks? I did - I would have gone for another HTC (way back from the wizard - that long!) if I wanted best performance etc.
This just completely destroys the look of the phone IMO
Just bought one of these from Japan via Ebay:

Samsung Galaxy Nexus: Too Big For the Human Hand?

http://mobile.pcmag.com/device2/art.../www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2397742,00.asp
Thoughts?
"it's dangerously close to a tablet"
Hardly. It's not even that much bigger than my GFs MT4G and about the same size as my GalaxyS2.
I dunno. I have small hands anyway. The Nexus One seemed a good fit. The jump to get G2x had me a little off... but I got used to it.
Now I juggle the phone on my fingers and palm. Kinda weird but works well. The Nexus pushes my thumb reach even using it this way. Anything bigger and I'll be double fisting it.
Since I have smaller hands, I conformed earlier. I think people with larger hands are having to go through that now with the nexus.
I wouldn't say its too big, but will probably change up a few things.
LTE Google Galaxy Nexus! - Stock
Asus Transformer - OC/UV
Hardly. Its a big phone but still not that much larger then my old Thunderbolt. Maybe he should play with the Note for a little bit to get an idea of a phone flirting with tablet territory.
4" does seem to be the ideal one handed phone for everybody. the atrix still feels good in my hand. i do have a hard time one handed sometimes but actually my bigger problem is the next phone. will i settle for something smaller after such a nice screen. probably not. i do like what samsung did to the hd screen. it looks a looooot better than the plus screens. up until now, amoled has been oversaturated with the colors. this screen is great. and still has the nice contrast and pop because of the deep black.
Yes. I think it's a bit too big. The rezound fits my hand better.
But that's the price you pay for freedom.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
I'm 6" with pretty big hands, and i can hit the Q in portrait mode with the middle of my thumb. (right handed) So for people with smaller hands, they should still have no problem reaching any of the letters in portrait mode.
I think its the perfect size overall. The device itself is only a tad longer than a Bionic, (about a half a mm or a mm) the same width, and thinner. I really don't see what anyone is complaining about.
Due to the rounded corners it's a hell of a lot easier to use with one hand than my RAZR.

lmao...I wasn't going to say anything but funny stuff.
It is a damn big phone; that was my primary concern about. Having no problems using it though.
it depends on the person's size. i'm 6' 5" and have big hands. this Nexus' still feels like it's a bit too small for me. i look forward to the 5"+ phones.
For me the SGS2 felt bigger. I can reach stuff much easier on the GN
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I think that the nexus is ok for people with above average sized hands, but really, if your hands are too small for the GNEX, then they are too small for most of the 4.3" devices out there right now anyways:
Here is a comparison between the GNEX and the DroidX (4.3"). There really isnt that much of a difference.

Here are the two phones in my hand how one might hold them. There is again minimal difference. Basically, this says that if you can use a 4.3" phone, which has become the defacto size for android super phones, then you can just as easily use the GNEX's huge 4.65" display.
The GNEX:
and the DX:
(Note that I am 6' 3" and the diagonal of my hand is about 9.5", so the usability will be better or worse depending on how big you are.)
Edited: I hate Box.com. And I wont every try to venture away from the comfort of Dropbox again for cloud storage.
My previous phone was a Galaxy S. I do think that was the perfect size for my hands. Although i still couldnt stand the hardware buttons on that phone and the gsm nexus doesnt feel any heavier and seems thinner. But after you get use to the gnexus screen the gs seems so little. Even my wife's iphone 4 seems tiny now.

No problems using it, but would you prefer it to be smaller? Or do you like this size better now that you're used to it?
Seems a fine size to me.
I have rather large hands (glove size 8.5) and my opinion is: the GN is on the far end of "large". This is probably the maximum size a smartphone can have and still be (relatively) easily operated with one hand. For smaller hands it already is too large.
Galaxy Nexus is just under the "to-big-for-human-hans-limit" if you ask me.
The Galaxy Note on the other hand, is to big.
i don't have an issue with the size using it, i have an issue with the size of it + a holster and just putting it into and taking it out of said holster. I liked the nexus one (OGdroid before that, and a myriad of smaller phones before that) i was coming from but was ready for something a little bigger. a little smaller would have been nice since i keep it on my belt, but i like the big screen when i'm using it.
i got the leather case from vzw, but i'll be heading out tomorrow to try to find a nylon one that hopefully will fit the phone but be a smaller total package.

[Q] How is the phone?

The *only* thing I don't like about it is how cheap and "plasticky" it feels (because it is, really) when am holding it and using it without the case I have (Ballistic SG).
That creaking sound, or that "this phone feels like a cheap piece of sh**" feeling... irritating. Fortunately I don't ever notice that anymore now that I always have the case on.
EDIT: Truth be told, that's the only reason I prefer having a case on.
I have not found my phone to be creaking or cheap feeling at all. Yes, there is plastic, but it feels very tight and durable to me. I actually used a case for a while, but I found a new love for this phone naked. If i had to say one thing that i dislike is the screen doesnt feel as responsive as an iphone. If i could have a 4 inch retina display on this phone I would consider it perfect.
im gonna humbly disagree with both of you lol.
I find the screen just as responsive if not more than the ip4s. Also, the phone is not cheap feeling at all to me. I appreciate how lightweight it is.
my MAJOR gripe is the data connectivity with this phone. I sit there and watch apps say "loading" while watching the data arrows stay dormant. 3g and 4g. I often have to back out of apps and go back into them to cause them to wake the data connection.
Other than that, this is the BEST phone ive ever owned
Its a bit of alright.
Love it , any one talking about data, reception or it being laggy is wrong the network location not GPS can be buggy and yes the battery cover creaks fyi despite the low signal bars the actual data rates are mind blowing sometimes
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Love it, don't find it cheap feeling at all (and I've had a LOT of phones, I know cheap lol), my battery cover fits on snug and doesn't creak.
The Devs on this forum make the phone even more enjoyable.

This is hands-down the best phone I've ever used. I really feel for you guys that don't have good 4G you're missing a great on-line experience. I have a great case Sekio with a kick-stand. No creekiness. Rooting has added to the experience. Waiting for a CWM ICS version before I take the plunge.
Data signal from sprint where I live is why I unfortunately will be getting a galaxy nexus from Verizon in the mail in three days I hate to go to a data cap but unlimited is limited by its on speeds.

Absolutely love it. My e4gt doesn't creak or feel cheap at all.. It feels super light and futuristic to me
I use a seidio surface combo black case and holster which protects the phone perfectly. I've dropped it several times (fairly bad drops too) and not had a single crack, dent, or scratch. I get 4g 99% of the time and use wifi at home and work. I see fantastic data speeds...
Oh and its a freakin boss in terms of power, even after 6 months its still one of the tip top phones.

This is the best phone I've ever had, and I can see myself using it for a while.
The phone is sturdy, fast, and is extremely versatile so I'm really happy that I was fortunate enough to get it.
If you're in the market for one, get it! We have an awesome dev community, and with the upcoming release of ICS, this phone will only get better!
I'm happy with it.
I just escaped, er, upgraded from the Transform last week. This one is better in every respect by leaps and bounds. I have zero access to 4G and that does not bother me and I cannot comment on it.
I've had a cell phone for 12 years and they have all been plastic so I'm not sure why there is concern. Apple & Asus both both a metal cover on a device and had reception problems, let's go ahead and assume that 1+1=2.
I rooted the first day, touchwiz was the first to go, I prefer GO, so I cannot comment on its intuitive features or lack thereof.
My only complaint is this, while in my car I use Pandora. If I am making a short stop I simply unplug the wire so it pauses itself. When I come back, plug in and hit play, the phone has reduced the volume to 60%.
It bothers me to have to do extra thinking because someone at Samsung had a bright idea to help the idiots who unplug from a device and forget to reduce the volume for headphones before restarting their music.
Love this phone! Great out of the box, nice large display, FAST (even faster if you go custom), dependable, fast 4G (dependent on your location).
The only thing I'm fighting w/ is GPS reliability which I'm ironing out w/ different modem and kernel combinations. So far it looks promising. Getting GPS locks almost 100% of the time.

HTC One X Rattle.

Yesterday morning I received my grey One X and was surprised to hear a rather big handful of people complaining about a rattle. So, I (as you do) picked up my phone and began violently shaking it.... I couldn't hear anything - until I turned off my TV - yes, it REALLY is that quiet. So after around 45 seconds of investigating I discovered that it is coming from the volume rocker. Slightly touching the rocker whilst shaking it stops the rattle – Remember though, you will require BOTH hearing aids to be turned up to 11.
It is NOT a problem or a fault. Yes perhaps they could have designed it with some more resistance which would stop the very slight rattle... BUT then EVERYONE would then be complaining that it takes too much force to increase or decrease the volume.
So, to conclude, Can EVERYONE please STOP complaining about it! Who is actually going to be shaking their phone to their ear on normal day to day use? Exactly, no 1)
It just shows that if you want to find an issue with a device, you will. And everybody blames the camera without thinking of the two only movable parts on the phone
And maybe you could change the thread title to "HTC One X Rattle: A non issue" or something?
Good to see a bit of comic relief from these forums. I have been through all this before with all the *****ing and moaning about a new device, but this phone seems completely bad with the number of multiple threads on the same issue, and people making a mountain out of a molehill with other issues.
Makes me think of issues of last couple of devices I've had: Proximity sensor, battery cover poorly designed, screen tint, creaking, dust under screen, battery life, low speaker volume, tiny gaps on phone housing, not to mention software issues....the list goes on and on.

exactly... have experienced some of the issues in some way with: Desire, Desire HD and Sensation
Maybe with your device it is...With most of our devices it's the focus "ring" of the camera. Witch happens with all devices and their different models.
You have to have a quiet room and hold it next to your ear. Not really a problem. I'd like to think that instead of a problem, we've found another feature!...

Is the camera focus ring. Nothing to be worried about..
Even iPhones have the rattle out of the box.

I always thought it was the camera.. My nexus one rattles, but a lot more noticeably. This is the reason why I haven't worried about it.
Hi,
The rattle of volumerocker is a defect or no ?

Yes EVEN iPhone. To be honest, they are more solid built and very compact assembled since there hardly is plastic. Especially the 4/4S.

I was being a tinnnny bit sarcastic
On my white One X it's not the volume rocker, nor the power button. It really is the camera.
Guys I know it probably seems annoying but I have had my SGS for a very long time and that had the flimsiest USB cover slider that had a mind of its own. It rattles a lot if it comes undone and believe me, it was a pain initially driving me mad at first but you get used to it. Honestly, I don't even begin to hear it now and I would bet its probably a lot louder lol. Be happy your phone works properly if that is your only issue Others are having a lot more trouble
On mine it is neither the buttons or lens bezel, and I doubt it is on anybody else's, either. My guess is it,s a focus element in the lens, or perhaps an orientation sensor.

Maybe its not the camera, but the SIM card inside the slot, or the slot itself? I remember reading some messages about some SIMs being too slim
