Who all are sticking with their Desire?

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

[Q] Need re-assuring on getting the HD.. over the Incredible 2

I've been hooked for long. I just got to have that 4.3 inch estate. But recently, just when my savings is getting close, I got tempted by the Incredible 2 'dual radio' capability. -confused-

I've had a desire hd since it came out and I think it's the best choice I ever made for ages I left it standard (orange UK) but then got brave and rooted it now running virtuous unity and now the affinity Rom which I love point is the phone can handle anything I throw at it

Thank You. I'm a bit more assured now

I've owned my DHD for almost a year now and its been great! But by now this phone is a little(maybe alot outdated) But you should probably look at the sensation if you're getting a 4.3" from HTC

Lucky you
I've been saving up for few months, and if I did continue I suppose I could have enough funds to get those newer 2 cores.. by the time they are 1 years old
I made up my mind. I've bought DHD. Should be in my hand by Saturday, cause bought it by mail.

best waiting for quad core

awesome welcome to the dhd life.

if you're a skyper...make sure you get droid incredible 2 since it has a front facing camera and a smaller screen + super LCD screen...they are the plus points in incredible 2..maybe not so much about smaller screen but hey those two points are worth something and makes a difference between them

Should I get the One X?

I'm coming from the Desire HD and I can sell my Desire HD and buy the One X for just 360 euros.
Anyway what do you guys think, should I get the One X. Was it worth it getting for you guys?
And whats that I heard that the OX doesnt have s off. What can people do with s off.
Will the OX get s off soon or is that out of the question?
Many questions I know, lol

Get it.

Hell yeah. The phone is rooted with s-on, not s-off yet, but is being worked on.

Don't wait.. Go get it soon before stock runs out..

360 euros sounds like a good deal. If you don't like it you can always sell it =)

My previous phone was a Desire HD, too.
Now I got my grey HTC One X, and I love it.
I thought my DHD was fast and the screen was pretty good, but after I used the One X for a while the DHD feels 'slow' and the screen looks so ugly.
It was my intention to keep my Desire HD for a long time, but I noticed a very good offer, so I bought the One X straight away. I have absolutely no regrets.
So if you can buy a One X for just €360, I would say get it immediately!

Don't event think about it. I was DhD user also and right now, after 3 days pass from buying 1x, I should say: "it worth any cent"
Also if you think that size is bigger than DhD, it's not. It's almost the same and I'm not get any discomfort when I've take it in my hand.
Most impressive was: "wow, what a screen, it looks like image above glass"
Very pleased with my new phone

If you liked dhd then you will love HOX. best handset out there.

I just ordered it dudes. Im excited. I should get it tuesday

Hello, I used to have a DHD, then went to GS2, iPhone 4s, sold it and bought a sensation, then a galaxy note, then a galaxy nexus (I eBay a lot). I then sold it and bought a one X. The HTC One X is by far the best phone of them all. It's has a large screen, but feels a lot smaller in the hand than the nexus, I have also had no hardware faults. The phone is in my opinion perfect. Excellent screen, it is super clear (comparable to apple's retina screens, I have the new iPad and wifey has iPhone 4, so have done a direct side by side comparison), super quick, I mean no lag at all, very slim, I'm a heavy user, and still get a full days usage. I have an unlimited data plan, so am permanently surfing and downloading.
Debated waiting for the GS3, but after seeing it (dont like the design) I am so glad I got the one X. All.I can say is that if you are debating buying one, debate no longer, go buy one, you will not look back.
Was not a fan of sense on the DHD, but sense 4.0 is excellent, much superior, in my opinion to the stock ICS on the nexus.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I would say get it if you like the sense overlay then this is the best there is.

I am also thinking of getting the one x but somehow I think the one xl will in practice be much faster and energy efficient.
What do you guys think? I still have an sgs2 so no real need to upgrade but I love sense and really want a phone which can display full web pages without needing to zoom in. I just bought the one s for my gf, it seems to fly, it's so fast and smooth. How's the x, I have heard it has lags....

I really want to put my Desire to rest but am afraid of screen problems with One X.

The best thing to do is:
1. If possible buy the phone from a shop
2. Ask them about their return policy on faulty units. So you can return a faulty unit and they can replace it with a new one.

I'm getting my One X Tuesday, but if I have 1 single problem with the screen or hardware, I am going to return it and ask my money back.
It's expensive so I'm not going to switch it. I'll get my money back and I'll keep my DHD.

Yes you can do that as well.

The Desire HD is what? A 3 year old phone?? The One X is a huge upgrade .. and it will have the same support as the desire soon
I have a HTC inspire which is the same as a desire as a back up ans its a huge upgrade.

You are asking this question on ONE x forum. lol
You are asking for bias answers! but well I would also suggest you to get it. cuz it is awesome phone.

[Q] Why did you buy One x at the first place?

I know this sound... a little 'meh'
But... I dont know, And thats why im posting this thread. Because I wanna know.
I was an owner of HTC Desire. That was the best phone that I had, I tot I made a wrong move of not buying iPhone 3gs, but i made a right move. It have had many memories... Thats where im exposed to XDA and have this rom tweaking and flashing obsession. It come to the day when I broke my Desire, It fell down from my pocket while I was running on a rainy day. I cracked the screen and leave it open and let the rain goes inside my desire. It broke my heart soo much.
After that I bought Galaxy tab as my second phone, then S2, Then GNexus.
After getting bored with Samsungs, It got mainstream. I go back to HTC and I made the right move again. Mind sharing ur stories guys?

I liked the screen and it has a quad core processor

It started with using my friend's Galaxy S (first release) that made me love the Android ecosystem.. then had time with HTC Wildfire,,, den jumped to Wildfire S.. as u said with Desire,,I too began to be obsessed with all those rooting & flashing stuffs and wanted a huge upgrade from that.. hence got my One X,,white in color,,beautiful,,vivid & powerful.. ) so happy with my One X... And yeah, I'm still using my Wildfire S along with a Nokia..
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

only got mine because at the time i needed a new phone and plus they were giving me a good deal plus the handset free so i thought why not..very happy with my One X so no point thinking about upgrading at least till say next summer the latest..
gorgeous screen, sound is amazing when listening to music and i just love my phone.

Swapped my GNexus for mine

iPhone 3GS(Total BS!)> HTC Desire (Great phone but the colour and design depressed me when it got old) > Samsung GS2 (Loved it but just wasn't enough)
Then I couldn't decide weather to stick with Samsung and get the S3 or Get the One X... Took me a while to decide but ended up buying the One X (Great Decision!)

Started with the legendary HD2. That's when I start to make love with Android. I can spend hours reading how to flash custom rom on it. Then the digitizer broke because of the design's flaw. =\ Touch screen doesn't work anymore. Early this year, my dad asked me to choose either iPhone 4S, Galaxy S3 or One X. Decided to go with One X because of the Tegra 3 Quad Core plus the design and I hate Apple's restriction. Don't have any interest at all with S3 since I kept thinking it as cheap plastic . Honestly I was disappointed with One X at first because of WiFi and Screen Flickering Issue but I got my replacement phone which is a lot better and now letting it stay virgin until I'm sure there's no more hardware's fault.

I had a Desire HD and an Acer A500 tablet. I saw the difference in Tegra and non-tegra devices, so as soon as HTC launched a tegra device, I had to have it and my contract was ending . Also I have a GNex at work so the screen of the S3 was a no-go for me (even if it had a tegra cpu). I was a bit disappointed that the unibody wasn't aluminum, but I'm glad it still has a premium feel and not the one of a glossy plastic.

Because it was a deal so good I would have been sectioned if I refused (straight up trade for my Sensation).

I wanted a touch screen phone that had a large screen, I have large hands and just cant cope with the size of the iPhone. The other limitations of the iPhone annoyed me as well, but the ability to type in it was the biggest downer for me. At least with the one x and other 'droids, you can swap the keyboard for Swift Key or Swype etc... as well as the keyboard area been larger and better for bigger fingers.
I went via a Bold 9900, thought that would be better for typing on, which for me, i guess it was but missed a lot of apps.
One X is the best for me at the moment. Good selection of apps, good screen, quite quick when scrolling. Always felt there was some amount of lag on the iPhone 4 that I had when trying to do stuff.
S.

Because I love HTC phones and Sense, so I always get their flagship device. I had to go through 3 before I got a faultless device but now I have 1 I'm not disappointed.

Best screen + best processor for mobile gaming + htc sense

The slogan "Quietly Brilliant" turned me into HTC desire which its quite true, We are brilliant and 'quiet' about it.... Compared to you know that fruit company.. With that, I keep buying HTC stuffs... Addicted.. I just hope that next time there will be another Nexus device by HTC

Had many dumb phones, before finally getting the awesome HTC desire and wow that was a great phone even
Now still compared to those silly iPhone things. It was just so simple with Android and the look of sense is great aswell as
The abillity to flash aosp roms. Would have stayed with desire if it had the ability to run sense 4, but it has seen its best days
And the developers have moved on. So looked at a change and it came down to sgs3 and hox, took some time but in the end I hot the
Hox and the wife got the sgs3, but very happy with my choice.

i love HTC + One X design + HTC Sense + OrdroidX i just miss S-OFF then it would be awesome

Love OneX
I came from a retired Droid X, one core processor, low resolution, great camera (by those times), with CM7, etc.
When I realizaed 4 core precessors where about to release, I decided to upgrade my phone.:fingers-crossed:
I used to see reviews from this phone, and I start to love this phone little by little. So when I finally see the opportunity to buy a new phone I didn´t hesitate to choose One X.
Now I´m quite happy with this phone (the screen, camera, beats eq, processor and body design are a beauty), I also start loving the sense skin, so elegance and funcional. But the best thing to appreciate is all the devs that give us the opportunity to customize and become our X´s better.:victory:
Please hit the Thanks button if you like my comment. I need them to participate on other posts.

I got mine because my desire was playing up, htc sense, quad core and a big screen.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Tegra games! And also the gorgeous screen (not really a fan of AMOLED)

Because coming from an HTC HD, I wanted Tegra 3 power. And since HOX was the first and the nicest phone with that chip...
Because I dreamt (still am) about using my phone as a netbook with 3-way booting (Windows 8 ARM, Ubuntu, Android) with an MHL cable and small-form BT mouse + keyboard.

I've been a HTC boy my whole life and wanted the latest and greatest at the time. Quad core and screen size tops it off along with being a big follower of the venom team which make any phone better

Due your question is actually part of HTC's problem
Many HTC fans actually keep their devices far longer than apple or even Samsung flagships
iPhone users will jump to the next the moment its announced,meanwhile I kept my Desire HD for 2 and a half year
Eitherway I guess since we are almost end year you can certainly wait for the HTC One 2014, they actually kept their flagship going a full year this time without a refresh (unlike all before), so I'm sure in MWC 2014 will be ready for day one launch, trouble free, most likely It will carry an updated s800 or even the next or Tegra 5 (Nivida would beg them to take it again)
The Max is something else, its a phablet, check the leaked photos its extra huge
Either way make sure to get HTC since you like it already, they really need their fans in 2014 or bust

I would have stayed with my HTC Desire but my mother needed a decent phone and I was due for an upgrade, went with an LG Optimus LTE (Nitro HD) and was unhappy with it as I had to send it in twice for repairs and ended up switching for an HTC One X and I'm glad I did, I'll probably hang onto it for a couple more years as most of the new phones are simply getting TOO BIG and they're all the same now too.
And yes it's true about HTC and also Motorola users that stick to their devices for longer, my sister's best friend has gone through 3 Samsung Galaxies each time they released the new version... heh

thanks Hamdir, having followed you in the DHD, then all the build up for the ONE X you did and the thread ( even though it looked nothing the the leaked photos)i think you could be right if there are no more flagship devices then the 2014 device coud be market ready from the off
