Hi,
I currently own a Hero and am thinking of upgrading to either a Desire or a Nexus One. They run about the same price for me if the Nexus One is a slightly used (Ebay).
The biggest problem I had with the Hero is that it takes HTC FOREVER to update the OS. With the Nexus One, the OS is updated fairly regularly.
Given that the Desire is a HTC phone, which of the two would you suggest ?
Thanks
J
The phones are near identical in terms of hardware except the Nexus has a second mic for noise cancelisation (not really an issue on the Desire) and has a trackball instead of an optical trackpad and the Nexus has touch buttons instead of real buttons.
I personally prefer HTC Sense UI but some prefer stock Android. It all depends on your needs. You are right that Google release the updates to the Nexus One sooner than other phones get it, but that's because it doesn't have a skin or other cool integrations with social networks etc.
I was in the same position when I was looking at a new phone and ultimately went for the Desire for Sense and physical buttons -- it's just personal preference

To be fair to HTC on this one, they were much, much quicker with the Froyo update for the Desire. Nexus One got the "official" Froyo update (note, I'm not talking about the early press release) around the beginning of July, and Desire got it beginning of August.
That being said, I don't expect the Desire to ever get a Gingerbread release, but if the specs of the Desire HD (HTC Ace) are correct, given the similarity to the Desire, it's possible we could still get another update.
Regards,
Dave
I would go for the Desire just for sense. I really love this interface. I've used roms with stock android -no sense- and I just can't get used to it. If you're coming from the hero, I would get the Desire.
On the other hand, Nexus One will be the first to get updates.
Obviously people in the Desire forums will says Desire
As said, it's personal preference. I like the hardware buttons and trackpad of the Desire. Nexus One will get updates sooner, but remember that these devices are not flagships for long anymore. In the US you already have better devices, and the Desire HD is coming up. I don't think we will be getting any more official updates. We might have a chance at getting gingerbread, but probably later than the better devices that will be on the market by then.
So in short: I wouldn't go for the Nexus just because of one update you will maybe get a month before the Desire, but maybe not get at all.
If it was me, I would base my decision on the following differences, and decide which things are most important to me.
Cost
Sense
Hardware Buttons
Track Pad vs Track Ball
Updates
Custom ROMS
Cost, Desire is cheaper - Desire wins
Sense, I love it - Desire wins.
Hardware buttons, I prefer buttons - Desire wins.
Track Pad vs Track Ball, I use a Blackberry, and regularly have to replace the track ball. The optical trackpad on the Desire made me want the Desire over the N1. As it turns out however, I hardly use the Desire's track pad, and when I do, I wish it was a track ball - Nexus One wins.
Updates, any OTA update for Android will hit the N1 first, whether it will get Gingerbread is unknown, but if it does, it will get it before the Desire, and I'm sure that if the N1 can run it, then so can the Desire. If the N1 cannot run 3.0, the neither will the Desire. Result - If the N1 runs 3.0, then it's the N1, if not, it's a draw.
Custom ROMs, both phones are easily modded with custom ROMs, so you can have Sense on an N1, and vanilla Android on a Desire - draw.
That was my decision process, you can make your own mind up!

You don't use your trackpad?! I use mine all the time when typing. Either to move the cursor or select the right word suggestion as it's right below the keyboard it's perfect.

I don't make mistakes when i'm typing , but if I did, I would prefer a track ball (and a proper Blackberry keyboard) any day.
It's because I can type one-handed with a Blackberry, that I turned down the offer of an Android phone for my job. I also did not want two Desires.

After playing with my sister's Blackberry I couldn't handle one as my main phone. I guess if I had two it'd be okay but that software is just appalling.

Agreed. Blackberry for email, Desire/Android for everything else.
Did you know the nexus one is now discontinued, and Google have closed the nexus one store.

Nexus
My vote is for Nexus and i have no doubt about it.
N1 gets any updates far before any other phone, Gingerbread is almost 100% for it
N1 is the official google's developers phone, and most of the developers release their applications for N1 before any other phone,
stock is much faster than sense and any other UIs.
there is absolutely no custom modifications in Sense that can't be flashed into N1. and desire has nothing exclusive for itself.
the best custom ROM out there is cyanogenmod which is released for N1 at first and after that for other phones.
N1 has a modern design (body, battery cover, excellent trackball colors and notifications , etc)
N1 has microphone for noise cancellation.
N1 has car dock and desktop dock support.
finally N1 is being discontinued at google store and this is another advantage for it, i personally do not like my phone to be in hands of many people. also this situation has an effect in rising the price of N1 and i like this.

Sorry, but this is rubbish!
Google have closed *their* online store, but the Nexus One is still being produced and is still available from other channels! See here for details - it's also available direct from carriers, such as Vodafone in the UK.

Thanks for all the replies.. Getting the Nexus One for AT&T bands generally requires going through EBay and the like..
I am kicking myself for not having got it when I had the chance. I'll look into the Desire.

If you keep holding out for the phone on the horizon you will never get a phone. The Desire HD will will be an Android version of the HD2. I find the current Desire to be a perfect size and functionality is great, I just hope they tweak the camera and camcorder for better performance.

Indeed. Besides, the prices of the current phones reflect their age.
It doesn't really matter if you get N1 or Desire. They are both fine phones and perform almost identical. I personally prefer Sens UI, so I went for Desire.
I'll also give one plus for HTC Support and the physical buttons on Desire.
I had this exact same debate when I got my desire. The Nexus one was £5 a month more expensive (£120 over the 2 year contract) for pretty much the same phone, in a different casing.
I preferred the hardware buttons and overall feel of the Desire. I'm not a massive fan of capacitive buttons.
The optical trackpad on the Desire is a disappointment and doesn't work very well. I previously owned an HTC Magic which had a trackball, that was excellent and I used it all the time. So Nexus definitely wins on that one (plus the N1 trackball glows in different colours, which is a win).
I think I made the right decision though. The Desire has slightly more RAM (probably because of Sense UI) which is a plus, don't worry about updates for the Desire, we always have things ported from the N1 forum days after it appears on the N1. If you are happy to root then there are tons of roms to choose from - Sense or Stock Android.
Either would be a good upgrade from the Hero. In your position I would get the Desire or wait a few weeks longer and get the Desire HD.

True, but there's generally a point in the lifetime of any phone beyond which you may just as well wait for the next generation.
IMHO, if the Desire HD/ACE is going to be launched mid-September, with availability soon thereafter, there's little to be lost in waiting for it. Even if you don't buy one, it will likely occupy the same price point as the Desire currently does, meaning the Desire should get cheaper.

So this past month I have spent One X-less. I live in the US and got my One X April 10 and loved it dearly. It's serial was SH23. Long story short, I started having an issue where the screen wouldn't display anything but it was still responsive to touch. I opened a ticket with HTC and they took it in under the Global Warranty.
Just a heads up to any other US users out there with an T3 One X, it's 20 bucks plus shipping just for them to look at it for you. Plus, if they need to order parts it takes a lot longer than their 7-10 business days. I sent my device in on April 20, and today ( 7 JUN ) I just now got my tracking number for them sending me a One X back.
Also, FIGHT TO KEEP YOUR INTERNATIONAL VERSION. They are going to tell you that they can ONLY send you back a US Version. That is simply not true. If anyone is in this situation, PM me and I will give you the contact number to RMA Escalations and the name of the Public Relations manager you need to ask for.
Back to my story, I ended up with a bad motherboard according to HTC's subsidized repair center in Buffalo, NY. It was unlocked through HTC Dev and had been through a few flashes and kernels.
This could be good news because they did not find me at fault and they're sending me a replacement device under S/N HT245. Even though I only started experiencing that issue after flashing an early release of a kernel.
This may just be a horror story, but it can easily happen to you. HTC isn't too fond of us having the One X here in America because it forces them to order parts for 2 different phones.
If anyone is having any issues in the US with their T3 One X, drop me a PM.

I would have, I even thought about having the One XL shipped from Australia but then I decided against it because I didn't want to end up with an expensive device only to come to the conclusion it might be incompatible with the european gsm, edge 3g hdspa(+) networks. I gave the One S to my GF, it is just a much smoother more responsive device which can easily last 3 days on battery.

i give you the battery, as for smoothness and speed, they match once you optimize your HOX
stock kernel + ultra rosie + supercharger, my HOX is liquid smooth minus the occasional micro stutter
you all keep forgetting the s4 is overkill on the One S since it runs @ QHD
not the case @720p the T3 GPU beats it at this density
as for T3 games there is no match what so ever
its simple for gamers the T3 version is "devine"

Slightly off topic...
Anyways, update:
I recieved A One X back today (8 JUN). I sent in a grey one and they sent me back a white. Also, after looking it over of course there's a dim dead pixel too :/ Also was promised the WWE and mine is running the European Firmware.
This may seem like I'm complaining, but actually I feel like I came out on top on this one. It's a refurb clearly, but I don't see any orange spots like my grey one had and this one has the blue tint over the yellow. No gaps or flex or ripples or creaking. Plus it's unlocked (SIM not S-Off :/) No bloat like my WWE had also when I bought my One X white was more expensive than grey.
So it seems like they've fixed the initial problems people were having. Again though, I cant say I recommend anyone in the US sending in their phone unless it's dire. They're going to try and $#%! you.
May I ask you OP something?
My HOX also had the same issue on the screen not lightning up, but with touch still working. You said it was a motherboard issue? HTC support here in Norway did not know anything about the issue, nor my carrier company whom I bought the phone from.
Im still currently waiting for my replacement, so I havent heard anything from the store that is supposed to get my phone fixed or what the issue is.
Mine was running all stock, not unlocked with a HT23 serial (I think).
Best regards

That's what NA told me at least. I didn't send mine to a carrier though, I sent it directly to HTC. From what I gathered from my conversations with various support staff is that they replaced the screen itself first but that didn't fix the issue so they were going to replace the motherboard. However the price of the motherboard is probably more expensive than just sending me a replacement phone and international HOX aren't readily availible in North America so that's how I got the replacement device. Odd that we had a similar serial number though, minus the fact that my old one was a China made and yours a Taiwan.

Do you find it to be sluggish? The Engadget review said it slowed down at times. I don't care about gaming, but I do want the phone to be fluid. Especially a phone that's as sleek as the P6.

Just got the phone today (European version) and it's a very decent phone. It's pretty good in speed and performance, it's true the phone becomes warm when using it intensively but it doesn't bother me. Both main camera and front camera is pretty good. Emotion UI is also pretty decent. (IMO it's a 90% rip of MIUI though...)
Would like to see a forum added for this phone soon

OK, I just studied the P6 spec more closely.
I don't understand how Huawei can release a phone with such mediocre spec as a high end phone.
The P6 can merely compete with the old Galaxy S3, and it is more than a year newer.

I can see where your coming from but in day to day use, the p6 performs just as well as any other high end device. Number and benchmarks to me don't mean anything. I've been using the p6 for about 3 days and when it comes to text, phone calls, internet browsing and other normal functions, the phone is amazing. Not to mention, I've had everyone around me mistake it for a toy phone and once finding out it's not, ask how they can obtain one.

P6
I was thinking of buying one myself to replace my old Galaxy S2...
Do you guys reckon there'll be launched a forum for the P6? I would really miss all the custom ROM's...
I can finally sign a new contract and my old m7 is about to die (it doesn't really charge anymore). Point is I need a new phone now and I can't wait for the m9 (also will be too pricy) and my carrier doesn't offer Motorola or Nexus Devices. Crappy Samsung is out so the only alternative would be xperia z3 which is a couple of month older. I liked the m7 and I am a general fan of HTC but is it still a better choice then the Sony one?

I think most people here are happy with the phone. Is LG not an option? Not necessarily better but they also make a good phone.
Such a loaded question. I typically wouldn't advise buying a current flagship which will probably be replaced by a new flagship in the next few months (some rumors claim Q1, or even a launch next week). But given your current phone's condition, and budget limitations, I'd still say the M8 is still probably the best phone around.
When it comes down to brass tacks, if I broke my phone today and had to buy a new replacement phone immediately, it would likely be another M8.

Nahh i don't want any plastic phone. The choice really seems to be between m8 and z3.
I would just pick up a used M8 for the time being, and wait for M9 before signing another contract for hardware upgrade.

Agreed.
The M8 is still a great phone - one of the best (if not THE best) front facing speakers, prompt and solid updates thanks to their being a GPE version (Sense updates come relatively quick as well - they are one of the best with pushing updates) and fantastic build quality... Also the following/support on XDA for the M8 is fantastic. There are some great developers working with this device. If rooting and customizing your phone is up your ally, the M8 is one of the best out there.
Lollipop on the GPE edition is great, you won't get a fast stable lollipop release from any other phone unless it is a nexus and other GPE phones. Touchwiz and LG's skins just slow things down and can actually cause issues (Google "chromecast systemui crash" and you will see that stock unrooted samsung and LG phones tend to have issues casting media within certain apps due to the way they code their volume sliders. There is an Xposed patch to get around this. Still lame that is something that occurs with their stock devices when trying to use a Chromecast.) . If you have a regular Sense One m8, the GPE conversion is pretty damn easy if you want more a stock android feel along with quick updates.
VS Sony Xperia Z3 --> Sony has the better specs (more ram, better camera, water proof) BUT OS updates tend to be slower - Still no stock or stable Lollipop available for that device.
I ordered the M8 in gunmetal gray. I don't think I will regret it, this phone will still be up to date for long enough.
I am looking forward buying a budget Android phone. I am looking at Nokia 6.1 and maybe a Moto G6. Does this phone have any sort of frustrating issues? There seem to be a lot of people complaining that this Nokia can crash or stop working on Amazon reviews.
Nah! No issues if you don't mess with the phone like rooting, unlocking bootloader or other stuff. Moreover, Nokia guys are really helpful if you get any issues.
Hey brother. I am from India and using ta1089 (nokia 6.1 Indian varient) from last 3 months. I will simply say don't buy this phone
Its quite laggy, poor camera and wrost system stability. Ui crashes very often. Phone freezes on opening camera and except durability, there's nothing good in this device. Please reply me with anything specific u would like to know.
It looks as if you are not in the UK then it's ok. We have problems with the "regular" Android One updates here in the UK as according to the Nokia tech guys the carriers here, the government here and everybody else is to blame for the uk phones not getting the updates.
Someone has found a workaround but all the Nokia people will tell you is to be patient. The phone itself is generally ok btw
TA-1068 - this is the most flawless device i have used in 10 years of Android phones (more than 15, different makes). Most problems come from inadequate usage, no matter the phone make.
Another TA-1068 user. No problems at all. The phone has been a pleasure to use. The camera is just OK, everything else has been great.

TA-1068 - this is the most flawless device i have used in 10 years of Android phones (more than 15, different makes). Most problems come from inadequate usage, no matter the phone make.

Uhm, with the TA-1050 we had no updates and bluetooth which kept dropping out for moments. Nothing to do with "inadequate usage". If Nokia (or HMD) sort this out in the UK then this phone will be like my favourite ever phone, the Nexus 5x. And if they simplify unlocking bootloader and releasing source code will be even better
TA 1043 phone is good, but the camera is sometimes laggy.. if i had the choice again i take the Moto G6 plus
So far its been fine
Im using the 1045 US variant. Its reliable, performs well. I had the camera and launcher issues but once i changed the camera apk (Nokia 7 Plus) and launcher (nova) things are fine. If your in the UK, and have a few extra quid i think the G6 plus or the nokia 7 plus would be the way to go....

Where van i het Nokia 7 plus camera app?
This phone's one and only gimmick is the nfc, the mi a1 outperforms it and the a2 outperforms it two times.
I got the july update and after a customer support adviced "softreset" it's kinda ok (let's say).
Otherwise typical sd6xx no matter how many ram; laggy keyboard, delayed app start, low call audio quality while having full signal, and a camera software screwed up in gargantuan proportions. If you have some experience with nexus phones, stop looking for them in this model, buy a pixel, even the first pixel is better than this.
If you want to talk, whatsapp and candycrush casually, this is your phone.
