Desire HD

Remember a few weeks back when I posted the rumour about the HTC Desire HD?
Well it appears that it may have been more than just a rumour.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/07/htc-desire-hd-spotted-in-the-wild-with-evo-like-form-factor-and/
Looks kinda crummy to me. I much prefer my Desire to this one. (If it is the Desire HD).

i want 1 it comes out in the uk they wont let me swap it lyk the iphone

that doesn't look like a aluminium unibody to me, saying that i never thought it would have one anyway, that would just make it far too good looking and competitive lol

I want one too... I prefer bigger screen.

The hardware is basically identical to the Desire. That 1GHz Snapdragon is looking a little long in the tooth at this stage, especially if you're interested in playing games on it (I'm not, but still). If I was going to lock myself into a 12 month phone contract I'd wait for something a bit more future-proof.
Apparently the dual-core Qualcomm cpus started shipping to manufacturers in June. So if you're smart, you'll wait a while longer...

damn, i thought that HTC Desire HD will be better resolution ( like IPhone display, maybe even 720p ), dual core 2x800Mhz and better GPU ( better that then Samsung Captivate ).
My next phone will be dual core for sure. but as i see i have to wait for it a little bit longer .
But it look like HTC desire (well, back look like same color )

The HTC site now has a new model listed, the HTC Aria which looks very similar to this phone..

It's more like HD2 then Desire IMHO. Which is good, since I won't go to smaller screen then my current HD2.

The Aria is basically AT&T's version of the Wildfire.

Where are the hardware keys and the optic trackpad?

Good question .. I'd say nowhere.

Yess.. physical buttons much more desired + 4" screen is also ideal size in my opinion like on Galaxy n SE-X10 rather than 4,3 since it is still a cell-phone, not tablet. You can add wifi-n, native divx support and tv-out (both dlna and wired) to existing Desire features. Then we can mention it really desirable, even -almost- perfect!

Yeah, cant wait the announcement (September 15?).
But, I might not upgrade if it is only 4.3" + internal memory (4GB).
Add the new dual core snapdragon and MUCH BETTER video capture (current 480p and 720p are jokes!), I will buy 2 !!!!

As a HD2 owner I say to you: you will get used to 4.3 inches in a day and you will never want go back. Trust me on this.

looks like its available on oct 1st. amazon had it priced at £415, but took the page down.

Funny, thats the one main thing I miss about my old HD2, I love my Desire, but it took a bit of getting used to going back to a smaller screen.

Suggestions for my Desire replacemet phone

So, for almost a year now, I have HTC Desire and for about 6 months run Desire HD rom on it...
Just wondering what will be the best replacement to it in upcoming summer.
From what I saw, nothing really worth to replace for but was I wrong ?
And it need to be GSM... any suggestions will be great.
Thanks

I think Desire S is a good option

Sensation is worth it desire s is basically the desire with software we've ported and is as fast on data++

I would wait for one of the new dual core phones. Sounds like there are going to be some badass ones coming out in the last half of 2011.

for me:
dual core,
tegra or better
4.3" or bigger screen (desire is too small for me)
the important ones:
must be rootable and have community support like the desire. can't rely on carriers/manuf to upgrade phone

wait for sensation or evo 3d gsm
these are the future because desire/incredible S
came out at a wrong time they won't be upgradeable to sense 3.0 unless by ports thus, their updates will be very limited like our official gingerbread update we're still on sense 1.9 :'(
but i'm running an S rom
and i know these will be my replacement phones

HTC sensation or Evo 3d fits your bill perfectly
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

Definetely going for the Sensation!

I will get SGS2. I think Samsung did better job than HTC this year - better hardware in a smaller package.

Thank you all. I think too that desire S is not a proper replacement because it didn't really bring any upgrades so I wait a little bit more.
Not interested in other manufactures since I really like htc.

in november? i'd imagine that there would be something better out by then.
1080p recording would be decent too and i kinda like the way LG is going

The HTC rep gave me a seek preview of the sensation yesterday at the gadget show and it is sensational, it was a pre release and had an lcd screen instead of the super LED that will be fitted, it also had some pre release software but was super quick with the dual core.
That is my next phone after the desire

I'd get the HTC Sensation or a variant of it. Once it comes out, it will be the only real upgrade from HTC that we know of, all other phones are kind of on the same level.
That of course, if you want to stay with HTC.

After I saw it's specs, it is lead replacement for me for now.

Same here! My new phone MUST have at least these features

I'd go for the Sensation if i had to, but actually i think i'll wait till the first 2ghz dual-core hits the floor

Why on earth would you want to replace a perfect phone?!

I really wanted to get an Incredible S its a nice size and a nice looking device. But it like the Desire S seems to have lost the HTC DNA with the bootloader now being signed and it being hard to crack. Its out for 2 months and still not rooted. Desire is still better than these devices IMO. Same might be story for sensation

What Will be your next Android Phone

Hi All
I want to generate a poll about you, desire users.
About using my desire after a year I'm planing to change it.
Some of the reasons,
Low internal storage
Mismultitocuh screen
Lower process power than new phones.
You! Desire User! Which one you ll buy?
You can write your own models...
My choice is SGS2

Never had problems with my desire I would keep it if I could but Im just a tech freak and i like the new stuff so far my fav android phone when I will be able to upgrade is sgs2 though I am not sure about the size, ill check it out better when it will be more accessible

HTC Sensation/SGS2 - depends on the hands-on test, when I'm tested them both.

I'm little angry with touchscreen of my desire and htc.
And as I search for some touchscreen documents and i saw that Samsung using best Touchscreen hardware. (ATMEL)
And also SAMOLED+ pulling me.
Sensation has lower internal memory that makes me angry.

After rooting my desire I have had little issues with storage but am noticing processor speed starting to not handle some apps and games, I do like more of a stock Android look so I might go with an Atrix with Launcher Pro UI...but before my new phone it will be a Motorola Xoom!!!!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

My answer is none of those lol..i'm just not impressed enough by the new dual-core processors, i guess i'll wait for some 2ghz(+) one before i drop my Desire

Something that will have an android 2.4 already. Im going to wait till google i/o next month. We might see some monster phones before the year ends that runs on 2.4.
I will not buy a SGS2 cause i might wait another year just for me to get an upgrade knowing how much crap they put on touchwiz. It will take them forever just to port 2.4 on on sgs2. The same for sensation.

No matter what, I am waiting for 2012 for a new phone for a couple of reasons.
1) I want a brilliant dual core (1.5GHz)
2) My contract doesn't run out till Dec this year anyway.
The Desire is still one of the most powerful phones on the market and getting something like a Nexus S will be defeating the purposes of upgrading. So dual core for me with a pretty good graphics chip. Not bothered about OS version. 2.3 is good enough for me.

I think it's good time to sell my desire, it makes 300$ in Turkey now adays and this is a good number for here. If i wait for some more time , i cant sell it for this number.
I think sensation and sgs2 will take 2.4 easily

Same here. Don't see the point upgrading to another single core.

None of the Poll devices. My next phone will have HW keyboard. But not sure will I get a new device for years. Desire rocks. Been rocking a year next month.

I will possibly get the HTC Sensation, provided it's rootable and "s-offable" not too long after release.
I got the Incredible S but only kept it a couple of weeks because it's too heavily protected (signed bootloader says hello). It was a nice phone though but my Desire can do much more so I went back to it.

Same here. My contract end in 2012 and there is currently no worthy replacement for my Desire with CM7.

"other"
the HTC Evo 3D will not be released in the UK (according to HTC) so I will be going for the LG Optimus 3D

I will try the this one: Lumigon T1 . It is the companies first cellphone, so ill try

HTC for me ))
And Sensation all the way )) I'll wait a bit when the prices drop

Do you have a source for this?
Because I was really looking forward to a GSM version of this. HTC France twitter said something about getting it and france uses GSM.
I do like the look of the Optimus 3D but LG is a bit meh...
and I love HTC sense!

I'm most probably going to buy the HTC Sensation. The only thing I can think of that would make me change my mind would be the battery life. If the phone can't handle over a day of medium to heavy usage, I'm not going to buy it. I complained endlessly when I get my Desire because of it's terrible battery life. Then I found out that good Android phones don't really get much better battery life.

Hmmm...I don't plan to get a new phone this year...but....
I vote for Sensation.

[Q] HTC One X...will you be getting one?

For me, my Desire HD does WAYYYY more than I need, which is cool....but the geeky side of me is starting to twitch when I saw this:
HTC One X
http://www.htc.com/uk/smartphones/htc-one-x/
http://androidheadlines.com/2012/03/htc-one-x-specifications-first-take.html
"HTC has stated that they took a bit of a downturn last year releasing too many devices and adding too much to their once lauded Sense UI. For 2012 they intend to attack the smartphone market with a renewed sense of purpose and with an entirely new line of products with the recently announced HTC One line. The headliner of the new trio is the HTC One X announced at Mobile World Congress as a Tegra 3 sporting quad core beast of a phone meant to put HTC back on the map.
The requirements for being part of the One series are Authentic Sound which is provided by the integrated Beats Audio and an Amazing Camera with HTC’s own image software and new ImageChip. In the U.S. however the One X will feature a dual core 1.5Ghz Snapdragon because when the phone was being designed to run on AT&T’s LTE network the Tegra 3 did not support LTE though it does now so the U.S. version suffers on the front. It will however ship with the latest version of Sense 4.0 and Ice Cream Sandwich."

Would you get rid of your Desire HD for one?
Or, keep your Desire AND get this one?
do you like it?
The specs look nicccee!!!!!

If I could keep the DHD and have a One X I would,
But...
I'd also trade my DHD for it.

got a year left on my contract, plus i just "upgraded" to the DHD
can't afford a new phone, and the DHD handles everything well, i'll stay put

I have DHD but HTC One X is something that i must to have it!

I'm on pay as you go, got my desire off Ebay months ago, in absolutely MINT condition, never failed me once....but if/when this get's released in UK.....I just know I won't be able to resist.....i'll wait til it's been out a couple of months, and get one off Ebay.....finances say "NO"
But, i'll beg, plead, prey and sell my soul to get the cash for one..lol
Even though it's got WAY more features and power that I need....just something telling me in my head..."yum yum, got to have! got to have!"

I will get one if I can !!! Not sure when Malaysia will release .

Hopefully the rumors are true and it comes to t-mobile as g4x or whatever. Wonder if its gonna be more than $200 with a 2 yr contract

If only I can afford it.

Yes!!!
I will be getting one for sure! My question is can i get an international version with the quad core processor and still use it with my sim card? If not I will still get the XL but still bummed about only getting a dual core over here...
never-mind answered my own question. it will work as long as it operates on a 850 and 1900mhz bands! sweet!!!!!

hoping it will be....
what a specs? hoping it will be released by May here in downUnder, that's when am eligible for an early upgrade...cant wait...

I'm not due an upgrade until December (stupid 2 year contract!) but this is already shaping up to be the phone I get. Looks awesome and nice specs too + with any luck by the time I do upgrade the community will already have some awesome custom ROMs released. I'll be happy not to be an early adopter for once

Either the x or the v...but weirdly I'm hoping that dome devs release an asop to her...from what I've seen with sense 4 yeah looks a bit different but not majorly overhauled...but then how would the dropbox work...surely it'd have to be linked to the handset...so custom roms...hmm lol who knows...but sadly yes I will have the urge to get one...can't help myself

my upgrade date was tuesday
so if i can get one from my operator for a sensible price i'm seriously thinking about it

looks good, might think about getting one

From what I have seen of this, and assuming that there is not another killer phone comes out before my current contract expires in Jun I would definitely get one of these!
I love my HD2, but it is starting to get a bit dated!

I bought DHD about 15 months back it has served as a good replacement for my Nokia N79, but the battery life is really bad in this. I have just purchased GT-N7000 Hope to get some good juice out of it before I think of going for One X, sure One X has better specs then any current Android mobile, but you may want to wait for Samsung S3.

Maybe i give my DHD to my wife and buy One X...a great machine.

[Q] DEVS: Port a Port from DHD?

Been dead from the phone game a bit... so
forgive the ignorance if that is what this is, but
can http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539423 now be ported back to the EVO to get working cams and such and also to play with Sense 4.0 while I await an HTC Nexus announcement?

A 3.0 Linux kernel is still needed to further progress on a sense 4 port
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app

Yup currently, only the_plattypus is working on a 3.0 kernel for his sense 4 rom. Im sure we would have one, but the evo is a 2+ year old device and everyone has moved onto the latest and greatest. Sense 4a should be the smoothest sense version on the evo since it only requires 512 ram and a 1 ghz processor, other than sense 1.0. I wish i knew how to build a 3.0 kernel, since i really wanted to use sense 4 and i have this phone till april next year... Im sure the evo 4g section will be pretty dead by then...

thanks for the responses! I guess we'll see what happens.
Still some life in my G1! I'm hoping someone gets it going,
or maybe I'll dig into the os more than I have in the past...

I was also wondering the same question about the Inspire 4g which has a Rom here on XDA that states everything is working including FFC http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849074. It uses the same resolution Cameras as the OG Evo. So does the Huawai Mercury which also gained ICS. There are other phones that use the same rez Camera as the OG Evo that got ICS and have been trying to find the answer if they could be ported over. I can upgrade but in comparison to my OG all other phones are lacking and found nothing worthy of my effort to change phones. Maybe the next drop in Feb will bring one but as to date they fail horribly.

It's not about the res. It's about the drivers and kernel. New drivers need to be written from scratch as well as the 3.0 kernel.
