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!!!!

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.
I'm looking to buy an HTC Desire, what are your guys opinion on it?

I'm kinda looking for the end-users feel on the phone cause HTC doesn't put that kinda stuff on their website.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
I haven't had a single problem with it
And as it is a very popular phone, there is a lot of support in the way of custom ROMs so you're never short of choice (Although CyanogenMod is definitely the best)!
A little cautious note though...
There are well spread report of the Desire's mainboard failing because of overheat...
There's a thread here in XDA about that...
At the moment the desire is a pretty good phone. Most custom roms for this phone. But if you want something worth buying check out the Samsung galaxy s2. Just look around for a good deal!
My friend got the s2 and I don't like it at all. Too light.

Desire has been great for me for the last year or so.
But that's the point. It's old now, why would you get a phone that's so old ?
I still have mine because I don't see a clear upgrade path, yet. I'm waiting for a decent multi core handset to come along, hopefully with some fancy bells and whistles attached and perhaps hard qwerty.
As soon as these requirements are made I'm off !
I do hope you're able to buy for super rock bottom discount prices or you're being done.
I think that a Desire S is more recommended.
Sense 2.1, 768 Ram, 1Gb rom, aluminium unibody, gorilla glass, etc.
But a multi core phone is the best upgrade...
I would say a Desire S is certainly a better choice... All the good features of the Desire, with a little more processing power, more RAM and more internal storage...
Desire has the limited internal storage problem!!

Hi I would definitely not buy desire now.
Don`t get me wrong I own a desire and it is a great phone, but it is simply outdated (mainly because of the lack of memory).
Update to 2.3.3 helped a little bit with the memory issue, but when buying now, look for something which has more memory in it.
yes if you get one cheap the go for it - don't get tied into stupid contract from carrier or similar.
Phones really need mobile data rates to improve in speed and consistency before I seriously invest any more money. Everything seems to be about games and video that drain batteries too fast.
Okay guys thanks for your help! Gonna get a sensation instead!
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Very nice choice that one, but I have to say someone in work has got the SGS2 and Oh my god that thing is fast and also will not suffer like all the HTC phones that have rubbish memory built in, but saying that I have had my desire for over a year and love it to bits with the custom roms and partion on my sd card for more memory.
But going from the wildfire to the sensation should be huge !!! hope you enjoy it
I have mine a year now and I can honestly say It is by far the best phone Ive ever had
However as someone else mentioned it is getting on a bit now
I will be changing up soon , probably around xmas
Liking the look of the MIUI phone if I can get my hands on one
Depends on what you want to do with the phone. The Desire is still a good phone, and depending on your needs, may fit the bill. If it is much cheaper than then the Desire S, for example, then it may be a good choice.
If you're into gaming then you'll probably want to go dual-core. Maybe wait for the Nexus 3 (or prime, or whatever it's called) annd hope for a discount on other phones.
Do it. But it has limited storage internal. So think about that first

First of all, I don't know if I've started the thread in the right place....if I haven't...my apologise...
Hi guys, I'm in a dilemma.
1) some one's selling his Desire (6 month warranty left, hasn't been opened yet, void stickers intact, good condition overall) for about Rs. 12.5K (approx $ 250)
2) I also have my eyes on Sony ericsson Live with walkman (I am a music lover) (around the same price)
Should i get a used Desire or a Brand new SE.... I know both the phones are world apart....
i can't seem to find a clear winner in low specced new phone v/s Great specced old phone..
Thx guys.

Desire gives you the flexibility of making your custom ROM and customize based on your needs. I always vote for Desire. Have the Desire to buy Desire.
thx guys for all ur help. I finally own a HTC Desire now. however I find the battery drains very fast.....
1) in some threads they say, turn off phone and charge for 8 hrs..then turn it on 2hrs etc.. does that trick work.
2) some forums say that using Juice defender, likewise apps drains ur battery....should apps like those be kept running in ur phone...YES or NO.
3) I implemented few things i found here and there to improve the battery life...screen brightness etc (mentioned at may sites).....do u guys want to share some ideas for the same?
The battery saving roms are mostly AOSP roms. If you are rooted or planning on rooting, those roms are worth checking out. You can also go and undervolt using custom kernels but I'm not sure how well that is going to work with you since it seems that you'll use your device as a music player and that usually require a bit more work for the processor.

There's a How To in General that delves deeply into the recalibration of the battery. Which you do depends on whether you have root (you can clear the battery stats) or not. If not the first post may help you.

I'm loving every bit of my desire........Great a chose it over SE. However, I feel the music quality could have been better
Title says it all. My girlfriend had a Nokia X3-02, and the mainboard broke twice within a month, so I'm not going back to Nokia. Thinking about letting her try Android.
Anyway, found a Wildfire S for $130 (USD), thought it might be worth a try. I'm also considering a Wildfire, but the screen resolution seems kinda low.
What I need out of it:
1) Stock rom + root + recovery + custom kernal + overclock --> found these in the forums
2) Ability to store apps on SD card. The internal memory is small from what I understand. It's got Android 2.3, so it should already have this, right?
3) Good battery life for music and movies. She listens to a lot of music.
4) Idiot proof and very very easy to use. My girlfriend is a total idiot when it comes to cellphones. She's never had a phone without a physical keypad. I almost considered buying her an older Iphone, but then I came to my senses.
Is there anything I should be aware of about this phone, good or bad? Or can someone suggest a better phone for the same price or less (used is OK)?
I've got a Huawei U8800 for myself, and it's awesome, but I think it's a little too expensive to get one for her.
I think this would be a great phone for her because it has everything she would need.
Also this would be a huge upgrade from the Nokia X3-02

High end phones are expensive. $130 is actually a bit more than I want to pay, I paid about $80 for the X3-02, but the wildfire s looks pretty good for the price. I don't even buy high end phones for myself because they're not worth it. Too many pickpockets here in China. I'm looking for a good value, something that won't break easily, or at least be easy to fix if it does.
And she won't learn. The perfect example is she just brought my tf101 to me asking how to open YouKu (chinese youtube), for the 15th time. But she loves to cook and clean, and a few other things.
Not sure, but Wildfire S with CM7.2 and LINK2SD with a big SD card should be good. Or a stock rom.
Sony xperia ray is better for a girl. Without overclock/custom rom, wildfire s is annoying even when answering a call and battery sucks no matter what.

i agreed..
Then buy a Samsung galaxy ace plus ,it is much more better than HTC wildfire s and is about the same price
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using xda premium
Samsung galaxy ace plus = $245, way too expensive
Sony Xperia Ray = $175, I like it but still too expensive.
We don't get our phones on contract here, we just buy the phones and buy minutes and data.
Also, just saw the ZTE Blade for around $110. That might be interesting. One of my students is head of research at ZTE, I'll ask him about it.
The HTC Wildfire S would fit here needs.
htc wildfire s is not the phone she wants.....got many problems with battery,internal memory and touch screen.....u from china right?if u like samsung.....try galaxy ace,fit,pop
if u like lg......try optimus p500....if u like htc.....try htc pico(explorer)....
I've got no brand loyalty. I like good values, good quality for a good price. Also I'm not from China, I'm American but I live in China. I'll look into the phones you mentioned deepakskht1.

You are much better off buying a high end last gen device than a low end current gen device.

hey buddy. my gf has just recently got the sony xperia mini pro. which i can vouch is a pretty nice phone. has a hardware keyboard which slides out. comes with 2.3.5 gingerbread, 5mp camera and front facing vga camera. i have not looked into the development side of it as she is not really into it, but the stock phone runs smooth and fast and is quite hardy little device that can survive the odd hard bump or two. i got it from work for £139 sterling, so not sure how much you would get it for there.
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_mini_pro-3713.php phone is here ^^
but for someone whos not great with tec and never had a touch screen phone i would definatly recommend this phone

Actually, that's where I stand now. The optimus V is the same as the P500, I think. I got it narrowed down to a couple of models:
Wildfire S = $75
Lg Optimus P500 (Korea Version) = $75
Lg Optimus P500 (Europe Version) = $90
Lg C660 = $65
I'm leaning towards the Korean P500, assuming it either has Chinese as a system language, or the rom can be modified to add Chinese. Unfortunately the Korean version of the P500 can't use European roms. I'm not sure how to add a system language, but I don't think it can be that difficult.
best option for u will be htc explorer....it has better processor & better UI. and its cheaper than WFS. Just camera will make a difference as it got only 3.2mp against 5mp in WFS

I would buy my gf and myself an htc one x, if I got the money. Otherwise a desire is also nice, I have seen the real thing, its smooth and nice its like a big wildfire s, just dont mind the scroll sensor, it looks ugly in desire pics but in real it looks nice with big screen etc. You decide.

Ive owned the lg optimus V (same as p500/Optimus One) and it was a great phone, i wished i never sold it for my wildfire S, the build quality of the optimus is far better then the wildfire s, under the back cover its nice aluminum and its durable, feels good in hands. Specs are pretty much the same in comparison but the LG has no flash (for camera) ebay has them cheap! But if you do get the wildfire s, its a good phone nothing more or less.
Hello HTC One V users! I have a few questions to ask and I would really appreciate it if you answered!
1) Should I get the HTC One V or should I not? (Please Include Why)
2) What are the Pros and Cons (Good and Bad Points) of this phone?
3) Is the peformance ok or is it laggy? What games can you play on it?
4) Is the battery life bad? Can it get through a full days usage?
Thanks in advance!!!
I'm new to XDA!
My current phone is the Xperia X8, which is not the best phone.
Im too with this. Currently i have a desire hd which is similiar in hardware to the one v. But i need more battery and i want to try out a smaller screen. Want to hear some opinions too. Cheers
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA
You cannot get more than 3 days on Android no matter what phone you have. It really depends on how you use your phone, how large the battery is (One V has 1500 mAh - which is a standard battery).
You can even play Temple run without suttering or lag on the One V. I have only pros for this little phone. It is the best phone at its price range and don't forget that cpu is underclocked at 1ghz (it should be 1.4). That's how Htc decided to make the cpu clock. Installing kernel Titanium (when the posibility of overclocking will permit) will give you free hands to overclock the cpu up to 2ghz. So 2ghz with 512mb ram i think it sounds good enough to run smooth even the greatest memory hog app.
At this price range the only good phone worth looking at is Galaxy S Plus, or Evo 3d. I don't like the casing of Galaxy S Plus and the display is crappier than on One V. And Evo 3D is very big, which I don't like.
The best idea is to go to a showroom and see One V live.
so i got a desire hd now, and its a really good phone. Even the hardware is particualary better than one v. I got bored of my desire hd and the one v looks very good(my friend has a legend and i think it is not a bad phone). The thing is i only want to switching for the display, battery and the design. Is this worth?

Thanks for all the replies. But I think i'm going to get the Galaxy S2 instead Cause where i live (HK) it's all discount now unlocked and it's a good deal! So yep thanks for the answers anyways! I might get a HTC later on but for now, Samsung
for that money I think HTC one V is the best choicein the moment
