This poll is created to see how popular each of those WP7 devices are.
Personally, I don't like WP7 because of its unattractive UI look (and that's my opinion). But if I had to choose one WP7 device, it would be Samsung Focus. That is IF it's true that the keyboard is more impressive than the stock Android keyboard, as said by some reviewers/editors. But if that's not true, then I would go with Dell Venue Pro or HTC 7 PRO (cuz both has a physical QWERTY keyboard).
Now, which WP7 device would be your fav. one? Also, pls vote and explain why!
(So, most people like HD7. Simply because of its big screen, but besides that what device-feature would also turn people on?)
I'm torn.
HTC Surround because it HTC and its on AT&T which I already have.
HD7 because of the screen.
LG Quantum because of the DLNA, and again, it's on AT&T.
Trophy looks nice but not available in US to my knowledge.
Put those all together with a 1.5 ghz dual core, add an HDMI out and you've got the perfect phone.

Ok, thanks for ur comment! But choose only one and which one will it be???
I'd go with the HD7... Just like my HD2 Nice Big Screen... And on T-Mobile US
rolling with the samsung
samsung is the one for me Super AMOLED 4 inch screen just the right size, the super thin, and the best feature of all external sd after adding my 32 gb sd card will have the largest storage available of 40gb!!!
For me on Tmobile it'll naturally be the HD7 or the Venue. I've ALWAYS had a qwerty keyboard for the longest I can remember when they first popped up, which draws me to the Venue, but the sleek slim-ness of the HD7 is also appealing. At the end of the day I'm set on the Venue unless the on-screen keyboard blows me away to want to replace a physical keyboard, which I doubt, but only time will tell.

Source pelase? The only confirmed one with expandable memory up to 40gb is the Cetus, not the Omnia7. Though, if you swap the microsd, you'll be factory resetting the whole thing. ><
Back to the thread I'd go for the 16gb version of the Omnia7. Reviews of the HD7 state that the old screen tech really shows, not comparable to IPS, SLCD and AMOLED. Thought the screen is big

LG uses QSD8650 wich is also 1st generation with 65nm technology. Wish there could be some units with the MSM8x55 chipset with 45nm technology and better gpu. I guess we will see that in models coming out in spring. It's pretty clear all the manufacturers are just releasing models that are up to microsofts minimum specs in the first wave just so they have something "new" to release in spring. It's not surprising they want to make as much money as possible.
As for the question in the thread. I would probably choose LG Optimus 7 just for the 16GB storage and the DLNA feature. If all phones had DLNA i would choose Samsung Omnia 7 or HTC 7 Mozart.
I'm on an HD2 at the mo and out of the 3 that I can get in the UK (HD7, Mozart, Trophy) the Mozart gets my attention the most. The HD7 is an HD2 with less buttons, a kickstand and WinMo7, the Trophy is smaller but still only has a 5mp camera, the Mozart has an alluminium chasis and an 8mp camera as well as being smaller than the HD7 so thats the best out of the 3 for me as I either wanted the same spec in a smaller package or better spec in the same package.
for me it'd be the Pro, but that's out 2011, and it'll be tough to wait
it's hard to choose. either the Trophy, or the Mozart, or the HD7...
You left one out.
HTC HD7 PRO.
This is the phone that I would choose.
The HTC 7 PRO is sort of like my HTC Touch Pro2 in size. That is why I would not want to choose that one. If I was new to the smartphone and this would be my first smartphone, then I would most likely choose the HTC 7 PRO. But, This would be my 4th HTC purchase. From the HTC TOUCH, to HTC TOUCH PRO, to HTC TOUCH PRO2 ( 2 of them, 1 for my wife & 1 for me ), and now awaiting the next purchase of an HTC phone.
HTC Desire HD
HTC HD7 please
I'm currently using HD2. I think i'd probably go for the HD7 Pro, but at first glance I don't like the UI and none of the WP7s have a card slot and are limited to 8 or 16gb.
Will probably stay away from WP7 to be honest.
The HTC Desire has been a pretty great phone for me, love the physical buttons, and the rooting scene is very very much alive.
Just wondering, will there be a phone that have the same size as the desire, but with updated internals like a dual core processor and more ram? Seems to be trend for bigger screens and any dual core phone is usually 4" and up.
What do you think?

The new samsung is so light you don't even notice the screen size difference in your pocket. Personally I would like to stick with HTC but if you were looking to buy a new phone right now nothing comes close to the samsung in terms of sexiness/thinness and lightness!
EDIT: and of course speed
I think the HTC Sensation ist the model you are looking for.

Doesn’t the Sensation have a 4.3” screen compared with the Desire’s 3.7”? I mean I’ve tried to use phones with screens 4” and bigger but it just doesn’t fit right for me....

Thats the thing really, I’m not looking for a phone right now, I can wait for another year or so. But I have always had my eye out for new phones. My 1st smartphone was the 1st gen metal iPhone, I used that since 2007 till my job required me to have a phone without a camera. I got the Desire mainly because I wanted an iPhone-like OS and that I could easily remove the camera module without damaging the rest of the phone. But I’ve fallen in love with the android OS and the amazing variety of phones there are in the market.
HTC as a company is great. I think they’re moving in the right direction. Just that their new phones have locked bootloaders and well, the rooting community is what I really love about the android platform.

Yes, and I agree - I want one with the same physical size as the desire personally...
I want a phone that's quad core, 32GB internal mem, 1GB RAM...
BUT
I want it smaller and thinner than the Desire, and have a battery that lasts a week with heavy use
Seriously, guys - it's not gonna happen. You want more features, the phone will get bigger and have crap battery life. Just enjoy what we have as this is a golden age for mobile phones
Sensation will be my next step.
The unibody is awesome and the specs are too.
I stick to HTC cause I just love their hardware and quality.

I think it's worth waiting till Q4 to change for me, love my Desire and am very keen to have physical buttons(not keyboard) on my next handset but unfortunately it looks like the top handsets will no longer have them.
I'm with the OP on this one. I love my desire, still do, but am keeping my eye out for the next desire-like phone. I suppose the htc desire s is the next logical step, but from what I've been reading, it's not that drastic of a jump and therefore not worth the upgrade. I would have to say htc dropped the ball on this one. The desire s will not reach the same popularity s it's predecessor simply because it doesn't bring enough improvements to the table. While the sensation seems to be the next flagship, the large size, insufficient ram and internal storage are deal breakers for me.

Sensation seems to be the logical next step, though gaining root access and S-OFF is a bit of a problem at the moment. Last summer when I bought my Desire, I knew I would not have to change my phone until dual cores kicked in. Well, they came a bit early I'll probably keep my Desire for a year or two more before I move on to dual cores.
I do keep hearing that dual-core processors and Sense 3.0 are not optimized, but that won't be much of a problem once the device is fully rooted and ROMs start cooking. Think of how innocent the stock Desire feels, if you ever for some reason turn back to it. We have a monster now. So, it's all up to devs to figure out a way to root Sensation. After, it's golden.
rant... Disregard...
I was thinking on buying the HTC Sensation but its too big for me...
HTC Desire S didnt evolve much... and I love HTC Desire buttons...
Ill be waiting till IceCream Sandwich!
I know its v picky, but why has HTC switched to shiny buttons for power and volume? They look so tacky. One thing I love about the Desire - it looks muted/classy, not shiny shiny.
On the S Nexus S, I was surprised how little I noticed the increased screen size, v different to the Desire HD which feels massive (there's only a .3 difference, isn't there?)

I have had my desire for 18 months now and its been amazing, but looking at the current crop of phones there just doesnt seem to be a decent replacement. I dont like the new 4.3" phones as they are far to big to carry around. Ideally I would like a 3.7-4" dual core phone but there only appears to be the LG 2x and I dont want that phone due to the poor support from LG. I have looked at the SGS2 which has great spec but again the screen is just to big! Are there any phones on the horizon that suit my needs? I may even look at an Iphone 4S!
There is one, but it's US only according to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19282336
Yep agree with op my contract is almost done yet no phone is drawing me towards it.

I agree with everything so far! The quad core phones look nice but my android desire running aosp seems to do everything I need it to do that is it worth upgrading or just wait another year and see how things turn out?!
Yeah, I recently grabbed a DX2 just to mess around with...I don't know how, but my CM7 Desire is faster/smoother than the dual core, just 6-month old X2 in almost every task.
HTC hit the Desire out of the park and haven't outdone themselves yet.
I like the look of this if we ever see it that is.
http://gizmodo.com/5845043/the-pana...p-might-not-suck-at-being-a-camera-or-a-phone
Let's hope that Ville comes to Europe. That looks Delicious. (And has proper camera too. Only thing bugging me with the Desire.)
agree, fast, reliable and perfect size. Thinking about Sensation XE, but bother me size.
Same with me. Even if I would want to buy a new phone there is none, and that's a shame concerning the enormous amount of phones thrown on the market.
I even would maybe buy a 4.3'' one but only with bigger resolution than Desire (so, SGSII is out). And also with big enough internal memory (so all HTCs are out, and in principle after the mess with our Desire, I don't want to buy a HTC anymore).
The only possible one would be a Google phone, but both, the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus don't have micro sd card slots, so they are out.
No phone left. Well done, manufacturers...
Agree. Another possibility currently on the market could be Motorola Atrix. 4" and if I remember right, it's dual core.
Edit: checked that out, it's Tegra 2
I have my tablet now.. arnova 10g2.. market place etc working ... so i use that for email etc and my phone for text etc.. playing a game on my 10" tablet then going to my phone is odd... do i want a larger screen , dont think so .
Do i want to use my 32GB SD card , yes.. would I like to use USB hosting ( like my tablet ) yes... my desire is wonderful .. but i think one day i may trade her in .. may ...

rumour of a 3.7" dual core phone by HTC soon. hopefully it will be qHD resolution.
goo.gl/ AVN4i
personally i find 3.7" to be too small for web browsing though
Guys (Gals?),
are you really satisfied? I mean, as in *REALLY* ?
I find the One V great mostly because of its form factor. Not too small, but still usable with a single hand. I call that more luxury than a quad-core 4.7" SUPER-DUPER display!
Also I find the display is pretty pleasing in its quality. Reading an eBook is like on a e-ink display. Completley silent on my eyes.
However, I find, that HTC should have added a bit more to it. I would say, the HTC One S would be it for me, but who wants a Smartphone without an SD card slot? I enjoy the idea of keeping my MP3 collection on a few SD cards and exchanging them as I want between my phone and laptop. The tablet stays at home, so I can serve it from the file-server.
So, to come to topic:
* More RAM!!! 1GB would've been nice!
* More internal storage: 6GB. Makes it simple to have some stuff internally stored. I did not yet try it, but having more SD cards rotating, it would mean, that I need to install those apps onto all SD cards. Not sure if this works, though. So, 6 GB or 8 GB internal.
* more sensors! Would love to use all the apps of SmartTools (measure space, volume, metal detector, etc.)
* CD coming with stock firmware and flash utility for all three OS
* HTCSync for OS X!
* more modern, faster CPU, though, this is my smallest grief
For me this one would've been perfect had it kept the same size as the HTC Legend. As it is now it's only near perfect. Specs are more than good enough for what I need & use. It's got an excellent GPS receiver, the display has an amazing viewing angle and Android runs really smoothly.
1GB RAM, Snapdragon S3 instead of the S2. It's no question that the RAM & CPU are the weakest parts of this phone.
The lack of a compass is bizarre too.
Actually I'm pretty happy with the phone, considering it's price.
If I wanted it improved, I would say...
1GB RAM
1080p video recording.
That's it. I'm fine with the storage- there's an sd card slot anyway.
My only real gripe with the One V is the really outdated processor, I'm fine with the amount of RAM/app storage since I don't install much anyways, I'm mostly a texter/internet browser - even a downclocked S3 dual-core would make this phone that much better, and probably wouldn't affect battery at all, since it would be downclocked, and the 2nd core would shut down during periods of low activity (I see other phones do this with dual/quad-core CPUs)
i wanted a 4inch screen and atleast 750mb ram
512 is less to handle sense
Sent from my ONE V
As a virgin Mobile user, I see it like this: the one v is a lower end phone, but certainly not the worst choice for vm. For power users, the evo v is the higher end option.
That being said, I love this phone, and it's a big step up from my Optimus V.

The CPU is downclocked in this phone as is, but I agree, that a snapdragon S3 would have been a better choice, it could have affect the price tag tough, maybe this was the main point.

With the HTC One V, you get what you pay for
I did a lot of research before buying this phone so I'm glad someone made this thread. First off, I'm a virgin mobile USA customer. Thats means PrimoC CDMA phone.
I settled on this phone because it is small. It's exactly what I was looking for in terms of size and price. When the iPhone was announced for VM I was pretty much sold on it. Completely ignored that it was gunna cost me $650. But the day the iPhone was available for purchase, something wonderful happened...they released the One V, without any forewarning or presale announcement. I originally had doubts about the iPhone for my complete satisfaction and love for the Android platform, as well as the price, and my detest for Apple products' rigid user interface and paltry customization abilities. I mean, one button? No thanks. But the size and power of the iPhone had me drooling, now that it was available on a prepaid plan. I also had my eye on the Evo V that VM has available because of its powerful specs (1.2 GHz dual core processor is lightning fast) but turned me off because of its size. This (meaning the One V) is the only android phone I could find with a screen less than 4 inches and a 1 GHz processor on any carrier (except, I think the myTouch which is on TMobile and not that much better, at least not enough to convince me to leave VM). That being said, the One V's size is the real reason its hardware is so limited. Theres a reason the One X and One s are bigger than this phone. The larger processors are physically larger and with other equipment (e.g. sensors, etc.) on top of that it makes it impossible to fit a phone with those specs into the One V's 3.7" display, solid aluminum unibody frame.
I've tried out the Evo V and if an extra $100 isnt a breaking point for u on what phone you'll buy, and you don't mind a larger phone definitely go with that. But if you want a small frame that feels really good to hold with one hand(talking almost exactly the same outline as the iPhone, but lighter), beautiful display (not exactly iPhone's Retina display or Evo's huge 4.3" 540x460, but still sufficiently beautiful), great sound from both the speaker and headphones, good GPS, the One V is a good choice. It is able to handle multi tasking very well with ICS and now thanks to jmz, you can even get jellybean. The development people have already done with this phone should be enough to sell you on it.
In summation, I think people who would complain about the One V should just get an Evo and shut up. If you can't realize and accept that the One V's size is what has limited its hardware then go for a bigger, more expensive phone and get all the hardware you want. If you wanna be able to detect metal with ur phone you prob should be looking at power user type phones (Galaxy, Droid, or Evo maybe) not the HTC One line which was basically created, and marketed to sell for the beats audio, like those HP laptops. The One X and One S have big processors because theyre supposed to be at the mid-high end for the contract phone companies, which means they sell for twice as much as the One V w/o a contract. The One V is meant to be a prepaid, less expensive option and therefore is smaller, meaning therefore it has smaller, and less numerous hardwares.
You know that the one v was announced months before it's release right?
Maybe it wasnt announced to come to VM?

It was announced at the same time as the evo v. Lol
So... nobody really missing more sensors? I mean doing stuff like sensing a water tube or an electrical wire under the wall when drilling a hole, measuring the height you're at when jogging uphill, these are all great things to have. Prices for chips are so extremely low these days, one easily could have an ergonomical phone,that simply replaces a hundred tools.
I want it all in my hands
Well, if that's stuff that you look for in a phone, then buy the phone that fits your needs. Personally, I prefer the lack of excess crap I'd never use.
That answer was just as unfriendly as your avatar and nickname and all but constructive. No need to make other people feel bad, just because your life seems to be at a sad state.
Maybe you are aware of the fact, that it is not easy to get a Smartphone, that does all what one wants. Otherwise you would not have opened this thread.
Guys I'm thinking of buying this phone since it fits within my budget of 350 euro. However I'm doubting a bit due to the warnings about the S3 chip that is supposed to deliver half the power as the S4 chip from qualcomm.
I'm not a heavy gamer and although the screen and camera seem to be a huge plus these are not my most important criteria. Preferably I'd like my phone to last and be as quick and responsive on regular tasks at least 2 years from now.
The phone I'm drawn to is the HTC one S, since it features the S4 chip and Dual Channel Ram. I like the thinner design, but I absolutely do not like the stupid recent apps kinda button that replaces the menu. Who thought of that?
Anyway, the price difference is about 55 euro's. The HTC being 40 euro's over budget. Would it be feasible to invest the extra money based on my main concern? Or would you not even think of the HTC as an alternative?

If the recent apps button is your main concern its not a problem most custom ROMs should have it remapped to menu and on the on xl the latest update from HTC made it a stock option in settings to remap it. I'd check on the one s forum I'd bet it is the same as the one xl is.
Oh and by the way this should be in Q&

You could try getting the HTC One XL or LG Optimus 4X HD. Both are pretty good phones with decent specification akin or even better than the Xperia S. The HTC One XL has a larger screen size and the LG Optimus 4X HD packs a powerful quad-core processor which beats even the likes of the HTC One X. All 3 retail for around the same price in my country. Not sure about yours.
