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

im not on a contract, i bought mine off ebay i still wont be upgrading tho, i dont see the point with the htc glacier out end of this year/start of 2011, im waiting for that
I have been with my precious HTC Desire for 6 months now & i love it!
i can't imagine something else..but tomorrow i'll have to chance to upgrade to another phone..i have been leaning towards the desire hd..but it'll be available till this friday which is soon..or should i just go get the Galaxy s tomorrow?
I know people may have asked this before but i just can't seem to choose
The Galaxy S is barely an update over the Desire if it even is one.
Take the Desire HD... they go for much more than a Galaxy S on eBay!!
Desire HD 40 million triangles per second vs Galaxy S 90 million. Get about 20fps more in opengl2.0 benchmarks. SAMOLED blows all other screens out of the water right now including the Retina. I LOVE HTC but actually do some research before coming on XDA giving opinions about things "barely being an upgrade" when they are faster than the device referenced.

1) Samsung phones always shine on specifications, and disappoint on the software side.
2) Amoled on my Desire doesn't make me drool over ANY other display, including the Retina and SAMOLED. It's more than good...
3) I would also NOT call a switch to Galaxy S an upgrade, sorry Reefermattness...
My opinion: if you like your Desire, stick to it. Get a newer/better phone once you are dissatisfied with yours...
I'd also go for the Desire Hd, the Sammy has great specs but it doen't seem it's quite delivering the experience. The Desire HD seems to be working great and the new Sense is awsome (i think Sammy's UI is really ugly!!!).
Plus, when gingerberad comes around you'll have alot more chances to get it on the Desire HD (though maybe neither will get it!!)
If you like your Desire, there's no question!
Uhm, why doesn't anyone that compares Desire vs Galaxy S take into account the design and build quality of both? HTC is light years ahead, it's more compact and solid, Samsungs are always plasticy and bulky. A *HUGE* disadvantage is also the lack of optical pad on the Galaxy. Come on, why do all newer phones ditch the dpad?? It's super useful, especially when writing text and jumping across links on a web page.

And whats your point?
Desire has better ram, build materials, developer support, and Sense is actually useful. Samsung imo has only the benefit of using the screen in the sun & thats it.
Any way OP, go for the HD or Z, they are both great but slightly different than our beloved Desire.
Easy.
You Choose.
Try and get your hands on both for a few minutes. Honestly, there is no better decision then your own. Everybody has their own opinion, but only you can choose what is right for you.
Makes the whole Debate worthless IMHO
KYI
I currently have both the Desire (newly repaired) and a Samsung Galaxy S; in fact they are just sitting on the desk over there <------- see?
I have to say that it really is six and two threes, I really can't spilt them, which is something I need to do as one needs to head off on Ebay. Anyway I would say that if you are happy with the Desire then keep it and go for something completely different. Maybe even wait to see what happens with the new Nexus.
The Galaxy definitely is not enough of an upgrade over the Desire to satisfy you for a good few months. In fact I would say that my Desire is a fraction quicker on a daily basis, such as loading apps and menu transitions, even with the Galaxy lag fixed and running FroYo. We are talking fractions of a second but it is noticeable.
The screen size, colour resolution and battery is better on the SGS but the Desire is a fraction quicker and the UI is more polished. I can't say that I have come across a benefit of the multi touch and GPU over the Desire yet, but I'm in the lucky position of not needing to keep a phone long enough to worry about it.
I now just need to decide which one fits me best.
If I was you, I would wait to see what the Samsung Nexus S has to offer (when officially announced).
You never know, it might be great?
Stu
Ok thankyou guys!
I will have a good think about & see which one i'll get!
If not i'll be more then happy with my current desire!
just wait. do not get the dhd yet. wait for an announcement of the nexus s,
with google opting for samsung this year for the nexus, i expect the trend to shift too. i mean, u would definetely see REAL development in the galaxy section once the device comes out.
The only things im gona dat is the screen of the htc désiré gd is ugly the dozen is great but if your used amoled then you will beshocked at the hd atleast i was

Those are the responses I would expect from xda, which is obviously a HTC fan based web page. I have not seen my friends desire z do anything better than the galaxy s so far. Even he wishes he got a galaxy s after side by side comparison. Sense ui does nothing but slow phones down and looks flashy. Most real developers don't even mess with sense ui, and leave it out of their roms for just that reason. Besides... you complain about Samsung software, I would assume since you guys have been at xda for a while you know its possible to CHANGE THE SOFTWARE! To each their own but I've done the side by side tests live and the desire line performs half as well as the galaxy s.

Where as we know that Samsung are spot on with their software and support?? Not.
We could talk about the support for their previous top of the range effort the i8910 or more the lack of, the broken pre-release promises and the huge let down the owners felt (I was one of those). We could also mention the lag on the SGS due to the proprietary RFS file system.
Am I a fan of HTC? Well lets put it this way, I have owned 3 recent Samsungs and one HTC, the Desire. I also own the SGS alongside the Desire and as I said, I would find it difficult to choose between the two. Is the SGS a huge step up? No, but I would say the same to someone claiming the same about the Desire.
They are both nice handsets and do what they do well but there is no real clear winner. Good for you that you like your Galaxy but it in reality, in the real world of usage over statistics, it does not trounce the Desire and that's the truth.
I have the HTC Desire and have ben using it since the past 3 months .. But seeing and experiencing the samsung galaxy S and its super amoled screen with gorilla glass and the bigger 4.3 inch screen tend for me to exchange it .
I don't know what to do .. Any help if I should or no ?

It remains a personal choice but if you are doubting between the two why not choose the nexus s, it does seem to have a flash (one of the big minuses of the galaxy s for me)
After being familair with both devices, I'd opt for the Galqaxy S. It's build quality is inferior compared to the Desire (although you do get over that quite quickly), but with ample internal memory, it heavily overshadows the desire.
I originally got Galaxy S phone. and now have a desire.
let me tell you this. if you use your GPS avoid galaxy S. the GPS doesn't work. it might be able to lock on your location when you are standing still after a few minutes. but start driving around and all of the sudden you are jumping from street to street.
also. Galaxy S doesn't have anything near the size of the dev community that desire has. it all might change since its very close to nexus s. but at the time there were no AOSP roms for it available so you were stuck with roms based on samsung's original rom.
I pretty much like every aspect of the desire better than the galaxy phone except the screen. even then desire has a pretty nice screen on its own.
what about the front face cam for video calls??
i find the galaxy s an awful looking and feeling phone may have more space & bigger screen, but i wouldn't swap my desire for it.
They are essentially the same phone so it comes down to the quality of the hardware and the desire wins by a clear mile. Desire for me.
Additionally The Samsung customizations are absolutely terrible ... They just destroyed android... I have tried one and for instance the Samsung application that replaced "people" is much much worst than the desire one...
If you plan to go on a lot of 3D games like the gameloft ones the galaxy s much better. Also the super AMOLED screen is probably one of the best out there.

Imho the devs working on galaxy s roms are not as good as the ones we have involved here. Also the gorilla glass is a lie: it gets scratched anyway, check youtube yourself if you want. Sure galaxy s works better for games, but it needs a lag fix or it will become really sluggish...on top of that samsung is really bad in terms of user assistance and rom updates. I trust htc way way more and i don't care too much about games, hence why i picked the desire. My 2 cents...

+1.
Samsung has better battery though, but Desire is clearly a better device. And between 8GB of internal storage and SD slot I would opt for SD.

Samsung TouchWiz looks fairly ropey to me - HTC Sense is nicer.
Samsung GPU is better than the Desire's - Samsung if you want to play heavy games.
Samsung's casing is lighter but plastic compared to Desire's nicer, but slightly heavier finish.
Two users that I know with a Galaxy S said they _needed_ the lagfixes on it - while four users of desire haven't needed anything of the sort.
I think the battery life is neither or nor there - my phone lasts about two days between charges - so does the galaxy S from what I've heard - think it depends how you use it.
I'm sticking with my Desire
feel like putting in my 2 cents as well.
Love the look and feel of the desire,galaxy just felt budget.
I wont ever buy a phone that doesnt have an sd slot (sorry apple)
Choosing between screens is a bit nit picky isnt it...can you really tell that the desire has less pixels or a less sharper image? come on get your microscopes out.
After i got my desire i tested it next to a galaxy in the store and pic quality was better on desire, also speed was better.
I think i have a thing for sense it works for me.
For someone who was previously a samsung fan for my last 7 phones (after nokia went to that rubbish symbian thing) i have to say desire hands down
Desire or desire hd, the hd has similar graphics to the Sgs and a better CPU

I want to add something here.
Galaxy S is not something you want to compare with the normal Desire.
Galaxy S belongs to a younger generation which is obvious better, Desire is also much cheaper than Galaxy S.
If you want to compare than compare Desire HD and Galaxy S.
I prefer to have a Desire HD instead of Galaxy S.
Reasons: Sense HD is way more beautiful than TouchWiz. trust me on this one. I have flashed the ported Touchwiz on DeFrost...pheeeewwwww...I wanna puke seing the Touchwiz UI...but this is only my personal taste tho'

Of course you're right, but this isn't the topic...
To add something, do you think the hardware of the Desire will last 1 year and half or more ? I wish it would not become obsolete...

It is very difficult to say...if you pay attention to the smartphone development this year, you can see that the technology advances mega rapidly.
There is already news about the existence of dual-cored smartphones somewhere next year.
I think, even Galaxy S and Desire HD will be strongly out-of-date if the news are true, not to mention the normal Desire which is already older.
The question of the term obsolete is therefore going back to you, how often do you want to get a new cellphone, how much are you willing to pay for it and what are you going to do with the phone.,
For me, I am planning only to use my normal Desire (bought 2 months ago) until the dual-cored smarties are available on the market. I will consider that my Desire is obsolete at that time.
I appreciate all you're opinions ..
I have researched alot into the galaxy S and desire is for sure better built quality .. But the samoled and hummingbird with the gpu inside tells me to gt galaxy S .. But than the ppl say lag and gps stuff .
I m all for rooting and modifying my phone to the fullest with developer refined roms .. Would the darkys rom and newer voodoo kernels fix all this problem of stock gps and lag problem ?
I m also more leaned towards galaxy due to the fact that Googles newest Nexus S is v similar in hardware to the galaxy S .. So there will b a big spike in development in upcoming months is what I think ?
I may be wrong ..

The HTC Desire has been a pretty great phone for me, love the physical buttons, and the rooting scene is very very much alive.
Just wondering, will there be a phone that have the same size as the desire, but with updated internals like a dual core processor and more ram? Seems to be trend for bigger screens and any dual core phone is usually 4" and up.
What do you think?

The new samsung is so light you don't even notice the screen size difference in your pocket. Personally I would like to stick with HTC but if you were looking to buy a new phone right now nothing comes close to the samsung in terms of sexiness/thinness and lightness!
EDIT: and of course speed
I think the HTC Sensation ist the model you are looking for.

Thats the thing really, I’m not looking for a phone right now, I can wait for another year or so. But I have always had my eye out for new phones. My 1st smartphone was the 1st gen metal iPhone, I used that since 2007 till my job required me to have a phone without a camera. I got the Desire mainly because I wanted an iPhone-like OS and that I could easily remove the camera module without damaging the rest of the phone. But I’ve fallen in love with the android OS and the amazing variety of phones there are in the market.
HTC as a company is great. I think they’re moving in the right direction. Just that their new phones have locked bootloaders and well, the rooting community is what I really love about the android platform.

Yes, and I agree - I want one with the same physical size as the desire personally...
I want a phone that's quad core, 32GB internal mem, 1GB RAM...
BUT
I want it smaller and thinner than the Desire, and have a battery that lasts a week with heavy use
Seriously, guys - it's not gonna happen. You want more features, the phone will get bigger and have crap battery life. Just enjoy what we have as this is a golden age for mobile phones
Sensation will be my next step.
The unibody is awesome and the specs are too.
I stick to HTC cause I just love their hardware and quality.

I think it's worth waiting till Q4 to change for me, love my Desire and am very keen to have physical buttons(not keyboard) on my next handset but unfortunately it looks like the top handsets will no longer have them.
I'm with the OP on this one. I love my desire, still do, but am keeping my eye out for the next desire-like phone. I suppose the htc desire s is the next logical step, but from what I've been reading, it's not that drastic of a jump and therefore not worth the upgrade. I would have to say htc dropped the ball on this one. The desire s will not reach the same popularity s it's predecessor simply because it doesn't bring enough improvements to the table. While the sensation seems to be the next flagship, the large size, insufficient ram and internal storage are deal breakers for me.

Sensation seems to be the logical next step, though gaining root access and S-OFF is a bit of a problem at the moment. Last summer when I bought my Desire, I knew I would not have to change my phone until dual cores kicked in. Well, they came a bit early I'll probably keep my Desire for a year or two more before I move on to dual cores.
I do keep hearing that dual-core processors and Sense 3.0 are not optimized, but that won't be much of a problem once the device is fully rooted and ROMs start cooking. Think of how innocent the stock Desire feels, if you ever for some reason turn back to it. We have a monster now. So, it's all up to devs to figure out a way to root Sensation. After, it's golden.
rant... Disregard...
I was thinking on buying the HTC Sensation but its too big for me...
HTC Desire S didnt evolve much... and I love HTC Desire buttons...
Ill be waiting till IceCream Sandwich!
I know its v picky, but why has HTC switched to shiny buttons for power and volume? They look so tacky. One thing I love about the Desire - it looks muted/classy, not shiny shiny.
On the S Nexus S, I was surprised how little I noticed the increased screen size, v different to the Desire HD which feels massive (there's only a .3 difference, isn't there?)

Hello, everyone! I am quite sure this is my first post..But I do tend to wander about the Desire HD Development forums quite a bit and flash ROMs like crazy.
I am beginning to get bored of my Desire HD. I've flashed countless ROMs, and always end up coming back to a Sense based ROM.
I've purchased a MUGEN battery (1500 MaH) and even though it's significantly better than the stock batter, it still doesn't get me through the day. I need a phone that, with a fair bit of use, doesn't need to have a battery swapped out throughout the day.
So, I was wondering if it would be worth my while to upgrade to a Galaxy S2 X (with Telus). I mean, it has A LOT to offer that the Desire HD doesn't..(ie: Front facing camera, better display, better battery, etc). Only thing it lacks is Sense D:
Any thoughts on what I should do?
Wait for new HTC to come out, that would be the best thing you could do. Don't go to dual core when quad core is out next year
That seems like a pretty good idea
I just hope that HTC goes all out for a good battery! That is the biggest downfall of the DHD. That and lack of a front facing camera.
I know what you mean about getting bored. Sadly that's human nature.
I maybe getting bored of my DHD, but I still love what it can do & will continue to do.
That said, I'd suggest waiting for the rumoured HTC Edge with quad-core. I know I will be getting it.
I get about 36 hours usage that's with light-moderate usage with mostly email & XDA App. Thats on MrGaraks MIUI build.
my DHD is lighting fast with self modded official sense 3 base, lasts me 24 hours with moderate use @ 1.38ghz
runs every heavy weight game on the market today perfectly
camera doing great as evident in my guide
not a scratch on the metallic body or screen
zero reason to leave this beast yet
The closest thing in the market to galaxy S2 is htc senseation wid sense
ok,let say that i dont want sacrifice more than 500 bucks,is it still better to wait for quad core.
(hope my english is understandable... )

I wouldn't want to upgrade to a newer phone even though desire/inspire lacks some features. It is my favorite smartphone. I would upgrade my phone when HTC vile comes out by the end of the year or next year with android 4.0 and sense 4.0.

If you're being greedy and want to act smart....save your 500 bucks, let the acer? quadcore tablet out and you can get it for 500 bucks...and keep your desire HD as your phone :/
That's the best deal for you...this way you can take advantage of desire HD along with a fast tablet for intense things...
I also heard that Tegra 3 (quadcore) is not really a quadcore but a dual core with 4 threads..just like intel i3 for CPUs
I am wondering also if it would be worth to upgrade to a Galaxy S2 ?
Oh don't get me wrong - I LOVE my Desire HD. But I really do wish that I had a front camera, and better battery life. Those two things are lacking terribly in the Desire HD.
But I think I will wait for the quad core phones if I am going to upgrade
