Should i buy a Desire?

Should i buy the Desire? It's pretty cheap, i haven't got much money, and i need a decent phone? I currently have a LG Optimus One, but i need something a bit more exquisite. Will i notice any performance difference? Oh and i was thinking of a Nexus One as well, but i've been comparing these two and the Desire seems to win!

It may be 2 years old but it has a great fanbase with a great selection of custom roms. I am due for renewal in April but I seriously cannot see anything that justifies me to commiting myself to another 18 month contract just yet, that's how good this phone is. It really is holding its own even now and I would without hesitation say go for it. If you get one second hand then just check the hardware buttons to make sure they work (my volume down button is starting to need a hard press to work) and if you get an unrooted one then you have got all the rooting stuff to enjoy as well I would get this over the Nexus One, in fact I spent a week putting phone against phone and eliminating them one by one when I first got my Desire. A cracking phone even now.

Wow, thanks, i am definitely getting the desire, i am already used to rooting and flashing so it's no biggie, thanks a bunch for the complete answer, you totally made me change my mind about buying a Nexus One which is actually more expensive in 2nd hand here.
Regards!

No worries I must confess to be so anal about which phone to get that my missus ended up yelling 'just buy a phone for Gods sake!!!' Anyway here's a link for a good review of 3 phones at the time, side by side. Glad to help ya

He seems to favour the HTC Legend a bit more. Is it any better than the Desire? The con of the Legend is not a con now, i think i could get it for the same price as the Desire.
Thanks for the helpful review haha!
EDIT*
Nevermind, the screen is way smaller, i'm going with the Desire, since i want a bigger screen.

I just bought a Desire for similar reasons, I had come from a ZTE Blade. It is a great phone and I am very happy with it.
You can compare phone specs at www.gsmarena.com so thats worth a go.

desire for sure
if you cant spend the money to buy desire s or desire hd, then its htc desire for sure
and htc legend doesnt even come close to htc desire
and with the great devs at xda, you'll always have something to do with your desire

I cannot afford a Desire HD or S unfortunately, so i am going for the Desire, thanks for the help!

Thinking of buying the HTC Desire...but..

Hi all,
I am thinking of getting one for my wife...however, I have been told the internal memory isn't a lot. Specially for games and apps. So just wanted to know if this really is a problem in a long run.
I quite like the screen size and the screen particularly, it's bright and beautiful.
Also, if I buy it now, some where in February, what OS version should i expect, upgradeable to what? I am not much is flash fanatic, so i am not going that way at all...
And also could someone be kind enough to sum up the pros and cons in less than a minute...
Thank you so much...

I would suggest to look for a better phone if you have the budget. Although a great hardware in its time, Desire is old and is obsolete now (it hurts me too say it but that's the truth. ). The last official Android version is Gingerbread. If you are not going to root and s-off, you will definitely have to complain about the memory storage.

just what I was afraid of...thanx a lot buddy...but the use it going to be moderate to low-heavy..like simply put, for games and all...nothing over the top...and some apps of course...
and as I am writing this, I am comparing it with the Desire S...it looks wayyy better...so what would you suggest? Desire S or Incredible. I don't have the budget for the Incredible honestly...but any known issues with the Desire S?

Yeah better a Desire S than the original Desire. Although I'm not quite sure if it will get an ICS upgrade in the future.
Game files right now are getting larger so Desire isn't really up to the task of storing several games plus other apps at once specially if you intend not to root it.

Thanx buddy...but no known issues with Desire S right that I should be aware of/expect?

There were some problems with the Desire S, but most of them were software-related and have been fixed, either by official patches or by independent parties such as the devs here on XDA. The main issue with the Desire S, however, is a hardware bug: some shipments have been plagued by random reboots. Some people even had to have their devices replaced 3 to 4 times until finding a stable unit. So if you decide to buy an S, please make sure you have at least SOME warranty left.

Hi, I wouldn't buy a HTC device at the moment except you really like the stable metal covers of HTC. But for me, Samsung has the best devices now in case of hardware and price performance ratio.
So long story short I would recommend you a Samsung Galaxy S Plus. The Motorola DEFY+ is also quite good.

Kudos on this. I hate when the people write phrases like "Omg ICS :drool:, now I don't have to upgrade yet", or "there is no real successor to Desire" and similar statements which are - idiotism.

My suggestion:
Take your money and run, run as fast as you can, run as far away as possible from this phone.. scat! get outta here!! I never want to see you again! :'(
But in all seriousness... go for a newer phone, this ones almost 2 years old.

Today if I wanted to buy new HTC, it would be Sensation (not that XL or XE - I see just marketing move of HTC under these). I think it's the best HTC you can buy today.
As it was already said, Desire is too old today and in case of stock settings (no root or S-OFF) the memory status is really painful.

I would if i could, but there's actually no way to tell. As i've already said, the reboots are completely random and HTC's solution for these is a mainboard replacement.
I don't know where the Desire S has been/is being made. The Desire was made in either China or Taiwan. My GF's Desire is made in Taiwan and it's visibly better built than mine, which is made in China. Both are PVT-4. So if that's also true for the S, i'd advise you to buy a Taiwan-made one.

Next phone? Your opinion please!

I've got an htc Desire for about two years now and I think that it's time for something new.
Would You get the Galaxy Nexus, or would You wait for the Galaxy s3 or even the next generation Nexus?
It's difficult in Android to get a not-yet outdated phone...
So your help and your opinion would help me a lot!

SGS III will probably be your best bet, the S II was voted best smartphone in the world, from there on it can only get better.
Rumoured release is April like the original S and S II so I'd wait it out if I were you.

I know there is the Desire S, but something named the Desire 2 would be awesome
I'd get the Galaxy Nexus but thats just me (ive got 11 months left till upgrade )

Haha, the Desire 2 is the HTC One
A question you also have to ask is whether you like samsungs interface (widgets and all). Even button placement on the phone. If you are going to root and put stock android, then you'll obviously look forward to the galaxy s3 seeing as the s2 is already awesome. If you like the sense on HTC, you might prefer another HTC phone.
A good option may be to ask for a better contract when it is over and then you be saving to get a good phone. I think the nexus has been out for some time already, no?

Does anyone of you know a device with a physical keyboard?
I'm kinda interested in the Dell Venue Pro, but it's outdated... the htc 7 pro, too...
At the moment I'm stuck with the Galaxy Nexus because it's the flagship of android and not of a manufacturer.
Also it's cheaper than the newest devices...
I think I've read somewhere that the s3 will come out later than expected?

You know those bottom feeder fish you can get for fish tanks... and they suck onto the glass.... Blackberry's suck like that, except they suck ass.

HTC One, for me too.
And if not Android...I just love the Nokia Lumia900. Very high on my wish list.

might i suggest the sony xperia s ?
i wish htc made a more powerful version of the desire z , loved the shape etc and had a physical keyboard . with the htc one i was a tad disappointed about the ui and the battery size and the fact it has a built in battery opposed to a removable one etc although it has 4g in comparison some of the other releases , i feel it'll get out dated faster and i find users will be going to there chargers more often

Would love to have htc one x. I was actually looking into purchasing the next iteration of iphone but seeing that temple run is coming to android, I would probably stick with android.

Well I guess I will wait until the release of s3...can't wait any longer
I am also thinking about changing to windows phone.
I use my mobile phone to surf in the internet, to write texts, whatsapp, SMS, Facebook and so on
So what do you say? Which one do you prefer?
PS: blackberry is no option for me,it's too expensive for this hardware..
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

My mate is a WP7 tragic and plans to get a Nokia L900 once it is released here...I reckon if you are considering the move, there are worse choices you could make in life...
Blackberry is ****, let's be honest here.

HTC One x is my choice

my choice is htc one xl

I got a Nexus Prime, I'll be selling it when the SGS III comes out, providing it's got a 720p screen, I don't want to go back to 480.
The SGS III will have an insane amount of developer interest in it, so hopefully AOKP will be ported to it and I'll be as happy as a pig in ****.

It is soooo interesting to see a lot of people who bought their Desire on discount or second hand recently are now upgrading to 700€ flagship.

You'll get used to the size. I was struggling at first, but then, after using it for a couple of weeks, wow... I'm so happy I bought it. What you have been reading is benchmarks. There is no real performance difference aside from t3 games. The battery on the OneS is better though. What made me choose it over the One S was the available memory. But why don't you go to a store and try them both. That should help a lot.

That's what sucks. The One S is not released officially here on our region. Only the One X and the One V. It's kinda difficult to make an overall comparison when I can only get One S online at the moment.

I wonder why some countries like mine do not stock the One S. It seems better than the One X. However, as it is not being sold in my country, I'm unable to get it with contract. And its too expensive for me to get it online.

Besides performance and speed of the devices: i recommended to go to a store where they have both devices. Grab them and have a look at the displays!

via xda app

I picked up a One X as an upgrade on Vodafone, it's going back and I'll switch back to my trusty old Desire for a while. No issues with screen flex or any of the other gremlins that seem to have plagued people, I'm simply massively annoyed at the way HTC are handling "unlocking" after the big hooraw they made about "listening to their customers". Well, that and the fact the phone is a sealed unit. I hated the idea when the iPhone was initially released and find that I still do. Swappable battery and memory is simply too useful to live without on a daily handset.
Don't get me wrong, the phone itself is a nice unit. Both pleasant in the hand and nice to use, the screen is quite lovely and the camera seems to manage quite well although I suspect it will have the same issues as the Desire in long term use with the lens getting scratched and affecting image quality.
I'll look at the S3 when it's released but will probably hang on for a while, Samsung usually offer nice hardware specs but the firmware is almost always atrocious.

8 years Of Htc

Hello everyone, after 8 years of Htc is time for my Samsung advanture.
The very slow Htc update speed is the reason why I moved to Samsung, as it looks like is always one step ahead of Htc.
It's been 2 days on my Note2 and I love it, a very good and powerfull phone.
Hope not to regeret my One x, for now not at all.

Glad you have come to your scences (just kidding) Nothing wrong about HTC devices but some definite dealbreakers like storage, non-removable battery, CID, locked bootloader and slow updates.

Yes, all the above things are the reason for the switch, I still love Htc for all the great phones that I used for this past 8 years, but I see that there is no ear for the costumers, no more feeling... hope one day it will get better, for the benefit of all us.

^Used to own a One X myself. Why do you miss One, if I may ask? Just curious of course. I'm not sure how HTC are "wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy ahead", though. and I used to own (nearly) exclusively HTC devices before.

Actually the S4 is Wayyyy ahead of any HTC phone in every aspect. Better cpu, more sensor, better battery, sd-card slot, removable battery, better audio chip, etc... But if you like the HTC it's your choice.

What build quality are you missing with a Samsung Note 2? Are you talking about the build quality that makes the HTC One the least repairable phone EVER?

I'm so tired of reading that crap about the build quality of HTC over Samsung. Aluminium body DOES NOT automatically equal build quality and plastic body DOES NOT automatically means poor build.
This said, HTC has a good build quality yes, but Samsung has nothing to learn from HTC in the build quality department.

Both me and the guy in the comment above you find HTC devices feel more premium. I also think the HTC One is the best looking phone I've ever seen and truly feels premium. This is not the case with the note 2 imo. Similarly, it's irrelevant how hard to One is to open up, and if anything goes to show that it may prove more durable than other devices, like the article suggests. Repairabily is irrelevant when we're discussing build quality and I found that the link you posted weakened your arguement. In saying that though, it is all subjective.
I'm not a massive fan of plastic phones, and the general impression I have got from many others is that plastic does make the phone feel cheaper than it is. You may not agree, but that is the way a lot of people feel so it's not "crap." At the end of the day plastic may have some advantages over aluminium, but it is unsurprising if some people feel that something like the HTC One is a much more premium looking and feeling phone.

Yes of course it's irrelevant, discussing how the phone is built is totally irrelevant when discussing the quality of the built. Makes total sense. Paying 900$ for a phone you can't repair really weakened my argument. I don't know where my head was.
