I have a Galaxy S I9000 (SGS) that I really like, but I was thinking of getting the Desire HD because I want a bigger screen.
What are the things you like and dislike about your HD?
I know there are many different flashes available for the SGS, are there also a lot for the Desire HD?
What is the screen quality like?
How is the GPS and Wi-Fi?
Thanks for the info,
Ian
Which one of the four Desires is best?
HTC Desire or HTC Desire S or HTC Desire HD or HTC Desire Z?
Comparison table drawn here: http://www.geekword.net/htc-desire-s-vs-htc-desire-hd-vs-htc-desire-z-vs-htc-desire/
Personal preferences except for the normal desire, that one is old.
If you want big screen HD.
If you want physical keyboard Z.
No keyboard and 4" to big S.

both desire Z and desire S loose against desire HD. desire S is simply 'refreshed' desire for a lot of money, it is better to go for HD instead. desire Z compared to desire HD also looses. original desire... well if i was to buy a phone now i would not choose it because of it lacking true multitouch.
long story short - for me, the Desire HD is the winner here (and about its size... it is not that much bigger compared to other devices listed here, and it sports best specification at a reasonable price)
Desire S for me...i've had the Bravo since it was released and i still love it (i also had the Desire Z for a few weeks)
4.3" screens are too big for girl's hands, so if i were to upgrade it would be to the Desire S for the ff camera and more RAM
I really want a physical keyboard. So I guess than Desire Z is for me. My gf has HTC Evo Shift 4g (HTC Knight). Its the same screen size, but has a slide out keyboard. Perfect!
Unfortunately, although my carries has great service and price, it sucks at bringing new phones to customers. After all we did not get the Desire until late August 2010.

i found the Desire Z way too heavy
I just wish that the original Desire had more internal memory (and maybe a tad more ram)
the S's non-physical keys is a shame - but the S / Original for me.
front facing camera i can live without as I never used it on the Blackstone
Desire s i think

I would vote for Desire S. It's screen is smaller than HD's, but it has the same pixel count, so the images will look better. It also has front camera, which will be useful in near future. The hardware in both phones is the same, but since S is newer, it may be longer supported by HTC.
If there is a senseles phone, it is Incredible S, which is Desire HD with front camera and doesn't worth its money.
I actually bought the original Desire a month ago and I can honestly say its the best thing I have ever had. Even though its a year old now, its still awesome. I even flashed it with the latest RCMIX HD rom so it now has all the features of the desire hd, plus its literally twice as fast. I also repartitioned the sd card, so the internal storage is like 800MBs.
To be honest, I checked the other phones before I bought this one, and I found the HD too big and expensive, and didn't like the keyboard of the desire Z. As for the S model, it doesn't seem to be anything special with the fact that its expensive too.
So if you're looking for the right sized phone and don't want to spend big bux yet still have a beast in your hands, the original desire is the way to go. Remember, as long as you can flash it, you'll never miss all the fun of the new phones.

i have original desire.. what i miss the most is proper multitouch. .apart from that it is great.. perfect weight and size! htc desire hd is too big imo.. if you want keyboard get the desire z but heard it's a bit heavy... i would recommand desire s
Just buy the mobile what you think is the best for you.

I still have old desire. I`m thinking that i would be missing trackball in other desires
Yup I like the optical trackball too. Bear in mind that desire's multitouch is not good at all.
Desire is my choice, have one for alomost half a year now and I am super happy with it. Didn't test desire s and z, but I test HD one, and I don't like him at all, a little bit new software then desire but very clumsy made, and it's too big to put him in normal pockets, only if you are rapper and have that big pockets.
In my opinion the original Desire is the best if you consider the prices. If you already have the original Desire or an older phone and you want to make an investition, i think that the best choice is by far the Desire S.
The Desire Z is too big and heavy and has no big improvements and the HD is too big for what it is capable of.
My next step will be the Desire S for sure, in a few weeks :-D

not holding out for the Sensation?
If my Desire/Bravo had proper multitouch support and an hdmi out I'd keep it for another 2-3 years..
Pleased as punch with the orignal desire, came to it from the blackstone.
Yes a faster processor would be nice, yes being able to play PSP quality games would be nice but ulitmatley its a phone and web browser which desire 1 does well.
I don't think I'll be getting the itch to change phones until battery life under load is measured in days not hours and OTA data network infrastructure improves and by that I mean High speed (3.5 and 4G) coverage and cost.
Google maps is a toy, it would be great to use when abroad in foreign cities but at £3-8 per MB its unusable.
One example I have is when I got lost in geneva, was in a rush and nobody was around to ask for directions so I fired up data roaming to quickly find out where I was - I had satelight view with a couple of layers as well still set from wehn I use it at home - £5! for about 1minutes usage!!!!
Hello, Just heard about the MHL adapter for Galaxy s2 & HTC sensation, Will it work with Desire HD!??
;-)
Yeah anyone?
Its a software thing so if the developers decide to put it in their ROM's then its possible.
O.K., I am thinking getting one of these beasts and wanted to ask which one would be better. I would definitely install a custom rom on it and mod it, and for that reason, i am edging towards the desire hd.
What are your opinions?
With the same rom and the same apps downloaded the inspire 4g is much smoother than DHD... Why is happening this??
every phones different and will perform different...
I have a TELUS Desire HD, which I'm told is the same as an Inspire4g (therefore I need to user InspireMod for my GPS and sound to work properly). I've tried dozens of ROMS and have had varying degrees of success in speed enhancements. It's all about configuration, and there's a heck of a lot that can be configured, over and under the hood.
i have inspire 4g, custom rom installed.
currently no issue with rom but some dhd user have issue with this rom.
WTF does anyone read the 1st post?
The question is about speed comparison between DHD and Inspire 4g.
Keep it on topic.
I think it might be due to newer hardware used in the Inspire 4g. Else i dont know as i've heared they are almost the same but Inspire has other type of radio.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the inspire 4g has more internal memory than the DHD (4GB compared to 1,5GB). Pretty sure that this is the cause (different memory modules)

There were some speculations regarding memory chips, and declared specs differences, but in the end of the day it looks like they both have roughly 1GB available to user.
To answer the OP question, I think it has something to do with recovery used followed by wiping process (if at all performed), thus one of the phones wasnt wiped properly and or memory card/its content differences. I assume ROM settings/prefs are the same and they are both rebooted before comparison.
