What would you buy? HTC Desire Z or HTC Desire it will be my 1st android phone.
to be honest i would get neither at this stage, wait out for a different phone, but if u have ur heart sent on either on of them, id go for the desire z because of the keyboard and significantly better processor
Thank
Thank for your Advice.... and I am almost decided to Desire Z but Iam afraid abou hinge ...is it ok ?

hinge is somewhat loose, but you can buy replacement springs for like 5$. also i suggest you get a newer phone as both desire and desire z are almost 1 year old
If I will buy mobile i should buy new springs ? or i should buy springs later when springs from mobile will loose ?

well you should try out the hinge. if you feel its too lose for you then you should buy the springs but if it does the job then you dont need to buy them right away. its your preference
if you happen to get the DZ, you can pretty much get the phone, open itup, replace the spring and not have to worry about it ever agian. I have 25lb spring rate springs in there and it hasn't weakend one bit.
The Z is great. Even if its becoming old, its still very fast, and has a great community. It can be overclocked to 1.9GHZ, and will probably get future updates as the devs are great ;D

Don't worry about the hinge. Unless you are typing regularly on your back or upside down, it's a non issue that was exaggerated.

Z or not Z
Buddy, you cannot compare these 2.
You could compare and think about a Desire Z or a Desire S.
These 2 are close, the Desire is one (or 2) generations back.
- The Desire S is newer, everything is probably more, CPU, memory etc.
- The DZ yes, has the keyboard. Don't worry about the hinge. I have a DZ, I could live without a hardware qwerty but it is very nice and easy to type on Android phones even without one.
- The Desire S has a front camera, the DZ doesn't.
(I miss the front camera, but I don't use it as much as a qwerty keyboard. If I am typing anything longer than an sms, I just POP flip it open and there I go)
There's only a little problem about the hardware keyboard, that is special characters, like áéöü etc. You have to long press and then choose the right one on the screen and the hardware keyboard doesn't support word suggestion, except for English. If you type vertically on the screen, you can choose the language.
Like I said I have A Desire Z. I would NOT change to anything other than a Desire S or a Sensation. Other phones for the same price and with similar features are bigger, wider (Desire HD for example) for ME.
Hope I could help.

I had many phones, I have been modding, flashing them a lot.
WinMo6.1, 6.5 etc.
This phone is the first one I use with its stock HTC firmware.
Yes, there are some unnecessary apps on it that you would but cannot remove, but they don't slow the performance so much.
In MY opinion.

Kinda obvious it is dead. I fell down the stairs and as a reflex i tried to grab onto something and dropped my phone. It bounced off the wooden stairs 2 times before hitting the ground. Now my entire screen is white when i start up my phone and when i try pressing i get more and more black tearing through my screen. I guess its gone and theres nothing i can do? Had the phone for not even a year..
Also a question. Whats a nice replacement for the Rodium? I always used energy roms so going back to a simple phone is a no no for me. So i want to know any suggestions of what to get next. Should i wait till something new comes out later this year/next year or get a existing model thats out right now?
Hope you XDA folks have some nice suggestions
The HTC Desire Z looks really nice, and its releasing to Europe soon (or already has?). Its a worthy successor to the TP2. Android, but a nice hardware slider keyboard, and other great specs.

Perhaps you can replace the screen either from the warrenty or by yourself. However if this is not a route you want to go down then, like the reply above, id suggest the desire z. Having used the htc desire I can say it's really good. You could also consider the normal desire or the desire hd (bigger screen) which are thinner, if a hardware keyboard is not an absolute must.
Thanks guys. The Desire Z really looks good. I always like keyboards on my phone ever since the pro 2. I always tend to mess up my typing with a touch screen keyboard. My phone providers contract renews in november but i dont want to pay myself crazy for a contract so for now i will go for the HTC Wildfire with my provider so i wont have to pay that alot for extra SMS and online internet since its a more budget phone.
Release date that i can find for HTC Desire Z is end october or November here in the The Netherlands. Probaly will want to buy the Desire Z separate at the end of november since its hard to live without a keyboard. Then again the Desire HD looks better spec wise.. Just no keyboard.
This is probaly will keep me thinking for a while. But they both seem great choices so it will probaly be the HTC Desire HD or the HTC Desire Z. But definately will be one of the 2.
Also will see if can get a HTC Touch pro 2 replacement.. If you dont try then you dont know. Only had the bloody phone for a bit longer then 6 months before it went on a rollercoaster ride.
Thanks guys.
Guys, I've gotten the oppertunity to trade my current silver HTC Desire, which I trully love. For a brand new HTC Desire HD.
Should I go for it or not? No sneaky catch, it's just my mom needs a new phone, she doesn't care what phone. So I could get a Desire HD with this and she gets my 'old' Desire.
gotten the same oppertunity here, my dad needs a new phone!
Go for it!!
Why not!!
I'm really interested in the Desire HD. But I also REALLLLLYYYY love my SILVER Desire.
My previous phone was a crappy HP iPAQ Data Messenger running WM6.1, so I didn't feel bad at all getting rid of that. But this is my Desire dude! MY DESIREE!

maybe it will take a long time until root, s-off and uvoc is available, and it might lack good cooked roms and developers. it could be like htc legend and wildfire, nothing really happens at those forums
Why does rooting need to be the main reason to get a phone? Wouldn't be in my case
I've never modded my Desire in anyway. No root, no flash, no nothing. So that ain't the deal breaker.

Desire has 1.5gb internal storage, and a WiFi hotspot, so I tend to agree that rooting it probably isn't going to be as big an issue for many.
In addition, the extras you get from htcsense.com, means it's unlikely you would want to replace the Sense ROM with an AOSP ROM.

Thinking about it, if your mum doesn't care which phone, get the HD, and buy her a PAYG Orange San Francisco. That way, you can either keep your Desire, or you can sell it!

Lol, not that extreme neither. She wants a phone with which she can call, text and read her mail quickly.
She's not an avid internet browser or a crazy install all app-er. She just want to get access to her mail and sometimes chat via MSN.
Well don't think so much. Get HD, or if you do not want I'll give my for one HD
Well, the HD is for me just way too big. The Desire 's got the perfect size imo - only option for me were the Z (but I just replaced my HD2 with a Desire last week, so I won't switch too early - maybe in January).
Be careful, there are numerous reports about the Desire HD's display looking "washed out"... Some people says the display looks really low quality.
The Desire screen is a dream to look at so I wouldn't trade a gorgeous looking 3.7" screen for a slightly bigger one that has washed out colors. Of course the HD have many other advantages but the display is very important to me at least... It was just a warning, just do a google search if you don't believe me...
Try it at least your mum will have the desire. If you don't like the HD try and get her to trade for the HD and you get your desire back.

I got sick of the size of my HD2, you can't get into a car without having to remove it from your pocket, it's bulky, they are pretty much one drop wonders as well with a screen that big. The battery life is pathetic and of course, with the Desire HD the battery will drain faster as it's only 1230 mAh quite a bit smaller than the Desires 1400 mAh battery. Coming from a HD2 to a Desire, you really notice that extra juice.
I am so happy with my Desire at the moment I wouldn't swap it for another phone.

Here is a good one...Market enabler, like in my case , if you live in a country where google does not support paid apps to yet..Otherwise you essensially get a crippled 2k app phone (most of which are wallpaper apps, ringtones and clocks or batt widgets)
I wouldnt trade.....the battery from that device sucks even harder.
just a teeny question, doesn't TFT screens suck less juice than AMOLEDs?
that's probably why HTC is using a smaller battery on the HD

it really depends..the new slcd type is tested and has about same and when displaying white content even better battery life..i am not aware what type of screen the desire hd uses though..
so I pretty much decided I'm getting the HTC Desire over the Nexus one, but now with the Desire HD's release about 1 month away I'm debating whether or not to wait.
To be honest I'm in love with the HD's huge screen and looks, but looks alone don't cut it for me. I plan to jump on board the modding/rooting community as soon as I can (just starting out atm) and the Desire is the better choice when it comes to that since its been rooted and messed around with already.
I just worry that I will have to wait a very long time for the Desire HD to be rooted successfully, or it will turnout to be hard to hack and play with like the Nexus one and Desire as I want to try my hand at some hacking myself.
what do you think I should do?
Thanks in advance
EDIT: ok thanks everyone for the replies, I've pretty much decided to go with the Desire. I need a phone I can play around with right away so the Desire would be the better choice. Maybe in the near future when I need a new phone android phones will be more out of the box hacker friendly (hints @ HTC)
If I were you I'd take the HD, but after hTC's stunt with the T-Mobile G2, I'm not so sure at all. If you really want to customise your phone properly, then your best bet would be the Desire.
I'm after the HD now, as i'm a phone whore. So if you want a Desire £230 if you fancy it, unbranded, used but never damaged. Screen mint, phone mint. PM if your interested.

Desire!
definetly a Desire. A guy at work got one today and i was well jelous until i saw it in the flesh.
The screen is bigger but the resolution isnt much higher than the desire resulting in a big average screen.
Obviously the cloud features are a benifit but no doublt a custom rom will turn up with them on sooner or later.
Aye. supposedly we're going to get the HD sense package for our desires in December too! w00t.

Hey, what do you mean by Free of Market Restrictions? (sorry for going offtopic)
I have a Desire and wanted a Desire HD. Until I noticed, it's not the hardware I want. It's the software.
I think the design of the Desire is better.
I also like the physical buttons more. (My mom got a Wildfire, I had using it cause I always accidently hit the capatative buttons).
I think the size is perfect. Sometimes I feel like I wouldn't mind if the Desire was bigger. At other times when using with 1 hand, I find it a bit big.
It's the nw HTC Sense that I noticed I REALLY want. And I'm gonna get that anyway. Officially or modded.

oh yeah, i heard that this feature was on the motorola Droid, had no idea HTC did that same thing to the G2. While the phone will most likely be sold here unbranded and unlocked, since I got Legend which was exclusively sold by vodaphone unbranded and unlocked, i think it will most likely be a built-in hardware feature regardless of whether or not its exclusive to a certain carrier. that seems to be the on going trend right now with HTC and other manufacturers.
___
at the moment the Desire seems to be the better choice for me, i was considering the HD version based purely on physical looks. after seeing the HD2 in person i loved the huge screen and i thought the Desire HD will be like a buffed up android version of the HD2. i know the Desire will eventually get the updated Sense UI so i have no worries regarding the software.
As for the camera, 5MP is good enough for me when i want to take pictures on the go, otherwise i bring along a real camera with me. I don't think phone cameras are good enough to replace an actual camera just yet.

I want to jump on the band wagon here cos im in the same boat, and this thread has thrown a spanner in the works!!
Ive currently got a rooted hero but lack the power from a 1ghz amongst other things....ive played in length with the Desire and genuinely love it, but its knocking on a bit now so am tempted to hold out for the Desire HD as the price is only £100 diff.
What are we saying about the new HD ? Is it likely to going to be a ball ache to do what the desire already does well.....dont get me wrong ill wait for the dev work to catch up but obviously if theres **** hard coded designed to prevent rooting is it gonna be worth it?
also im going unbranded this time....if that makes a difference (aside from the obvious lack of network restrictions!)
I'd suggest wait till the community has successfully rooted the HD, then decide
aww I was gonna go buy the Desire tomorrow, now I can't decide again haha
I can call HTC's distributor here and ask them when exactly the device will release here and how much it will be for. When i was comparing between the Nexus and Desire the price was almost the same but now there is obviously going to be a significant price difference.
I guess for me now it all comes down to the price and customization ability.
I've checked the Desire HD's forums and there seems to be a temporary root solution for it at the moment. Looks like they are still working on it.

Hi guys. This post is only to talk about our expectation to see an HTC One with keyboard.
I looked for a phone with keyboard that has a good hardware specifications but seems there is no phone. Sincerely, I would like to see an HTC One X with keyboard and with all the 4 cores
It's a shame that manufacturers forget the phones with keyboards.
HTC said that One is their new models. I want to believe it like Desire series and there will be an HTC One with keyboard with great hardware specs. What do you think?
I would really love that. I wasn't surprised when HTC didn't announce a hardware keyboard device in the One series, but I was still a little bit disappointed. I think that companies should be focusing on hardware keyboards alot more than they are. Really, the last awesome device with a hardware keyboard was the Desire Z/G2. The only other decent phones besides the Desire Z/G2 with hardware keyboards are Droids, in my opinion. It would be great if HTC released a keyboard as part of the One series AND as a "G3." Like they did with our device, as a part of the Desire series and a successor to the G1.
I'm waiting for this fall, really hoping they release a G3 or w/e. If it will happen we'll hear about it during the summer.

yup, it should be when they will... that is... IF they do at all. It seems like qwertys are extinct now. HTC has been changing their direction a bit lately and I wouldn't be surprised if they don't make one this year. I hope I'm wrong...
I really like the keyboard on the Mytouch 4G Slide I bought for my girlfriend. But it's a big phone, so she has a hard time using the keyboard.
Supposedly the One X will be coming to tmo with the Tegra 3 and all 4+1 glorious cores continuing the G series as the G3X. I really REALLY want a phone with a keyboard, but for the specs of the One X, I'll just bluetooth a wiimote in for all my emulator needs.

Its possible (unconfirmed) whether that name will grace the tmobile usa brand name version of the htc one x or the lg optimus 4x. they do also say the one x tmousa version (whatever the name is) will ship with android 4.0 and NOT Sense 4.0.... weird huh? I like Sense but rather have pure stock and add Sense later myself if I felt like it.
I think it's safe to assume that qwerty phones aren't big sellers, or they'd be making loads of them. I would love a One X too though, here's hoping !

Yet another vote for a high spec HTC with qwerty. I cannot do without the keyboard. I bought a dhd to see if I could break the habit but it didn't work. I've even tried a wireless keyboard to go with the dhd. After a couple of frustrating weeks I through the dhd in a draw and dusted off my trusted dz.
I spend a couple of hours per day on the train answering work email and at least another hour of email at home in the evening. Often I am editing word/excel docs in QuickOffice as I respond to those emails. Trying to do this without a keyboard just isn't feasible. Surly there must be many users like me who would happily pay up to £500 for a decent qwerty HTC?!

It would be fantastic if they made something like the HTC One X Pro..... give us a 5 row keyboard.. that would be super awesome
I must say I love a keyboard on my Touch pro 2. Also I must say that an onscreen keyboard on a Titan is pretty good too, only problem is that it takes visual space. It's hard to imagine a Titan with a keyboard though. Also what would that do to the weight and size of such a huge phone. Can't imagine if I could even treat it as a phone anymore.
I would love a One X with a hardware keyboard..... but realistically I don't think it's going to happen
If there were a case available with a keyboard like the TP2 had, or even my G2, I would definitely go for that..... I don't care if it's a bit fat, as long as it feels solid.

Look at the volume rocker, is it loose (my friends have DHD's and our volume rockers have all fallen out at some point). Is the bottom SIM/SD Card cover loose (generally indicates the phone has had a rough life). Are all of the letters on tge HTC still attached (sounds stupid but, again, it indicates it has had a rough life). GPS works OK (either a Software or Hardware fault, hardware fault means the phone has been treated badly). Gap near the top of the screen between bezel and actual screen indicates previous repair. Software wise, ask if it's rooted, custom ROM/custom Recovery.

dhd is a good device but it is too old.or you can choose sensation.
^Good point. Although I love my DHD, the Sensation (XL preferably) is the better choice, even if it is more expensive
Sent from my inter galactic super fantastic communication device.
Actually for any phone and not just DHD, it's always recommended to check that all hardware keys are working and not loose. Also, check that most of those features which you think you need most are working fine. If you have time, of course check the whole phone inside out

I know about this, but don't have enough money for something more expensive, unfortunatly. Incredible s has 4.0inch and desire s 3.7inch and i'm looking for phone with 4.3 (HTC Desire HD or LD 3D-teribble software).
What about new full functional ICS release for HD, that's almost like official version?

I know about this, but don't have enough money for something more expensive, unfortunatly. Incredible s has 4.0inch and desire s 3.7inch and i'm looking for phone with 4.3 (HTC Desire HD or LD 3D-teribble software).
What about new full functional ICS release for HD, that's almost like official version?

Are you planning to buy it online (ebay, amazon, etc) or at a local store? Buying a used device online is a little bit risky.
Before buying used desire hd. Chack if everything is working fine. Even rom. And check warranty
Check the battery !
If the foil normally white on the slide of the battery is red, the bat has been wetted...
Check the Volume rocker, it breaks easily though!
