i am going to buy a new hd device but i am confused . which is better the htc evo 4g or htc desire hd ? I need answers with analysis . thanks
I would stay away from the hd2. its a windows phone, not that many apps, and it just sucks in general. as for the other phones, my choice would be the evo.
Just Like the last person said. Hd2 is a windows mobile phone which isn't a bad thing in my personal opinion, but it will not compete with an android phone. Especially an evo. My first smartphone was a windows mobile phone which I bought a year ago and I absolutely loved it BUT 2 Months ago I bought a cheap Android device to See what the hype was all about. And since then I've upgraded 2x. I'm now using a droidX and if I weren't in a contract with verizon I'd get an evo next. As you probably know the evil claim to fame its faster 4g network capability. But... if you want to take advantage of this it will cost you an extra 10 dollars a month from what I've been told otherwise you will be using the same 3g network as everybody else. Also 4g is only available in a very few markets around the country so if you were buying it just to get faster internet then I would definitely make sure that I am in 1 of those areas first. According to all the reviews and evo owners it is a great phone wether your using 3g or 4 g and it's definitely 1 of the top 5 phones out right now. Hd2 Probably isn't in the top 15. The hd2 Can do lots of the same things as an android phone But the apps are often hard to find and often contain and lots of bugs. The good news is 4g will expand to include the rest of the country within the next couple years. You may want to take into consideration that there are rumors that much better devices will be coming out in the beginning of 2011 and supposedly there are going to be some with dual processors. So you may want to consider waiting a few extra months before buying a new phone and committing to a contract. I hope this helps you.

guys i asked about the desire hd not the htc hd2 . anyway thanks at all
Oops. Sorry. Lol. That was 20 minutes of my life wasted on a useless post lol. At least now you have a basic analysis on the evo. I don't hear about the desire very often. I would still go with the evo.
UPDATE: I changed my mind. I looked into the desireHD, its gonna be faster and more efficient since it uses a newer upgraded snapdragon processor and gpu combo along with more memory. Plus the camera has been upgraded with a new bigger sensor improving pic quality. Also mentioned was the use of an updated Sense UI. I didn't see anything about it using 4g so im not sure about that. It doesn't have the foreward facing camera like the Evo though. Evos battery is 18% larger but the HDH is more efficient so battery life should be about the same.
NOW THAT SHOULD BE A LOT MORE HELPFUL!

lol not quite sure i understand you, my Touch HD which runs wino can run android via its sd card as can my hd2 (obviously alot faster)
Many winmo devices can run droid of some version, but droid devices do not run windows.

Hello Guys
I lost my Nexus One and I want to buy a cheap mobile because I dont have money
I found HTC Dream ( G1 ) and HTC Tattoo at the same price
i want one that dont run like crap and roms work great on it
can you help me chose from them ?
and thank you
g1: hardware keyboard, capacitative touchscreen
tattoo: resistive touchscreen.
i'd suggest g1, just cause the touchscreen will feel similar. It's really no big deal at all to use the tattoo, in case you take it that way. But I can personally notice the difference (not saying it's a bad difference)
Don't know where you live mate, but here you could get a well kept HTC Hero for about the same price as the G1's - around 150 USD. Or a Wildfire for a few bucks more. Between the tatoo and the G1, I'g go for the G1.

yeahh and screen resolution on tattoo sux
This belongs in the Q&A section.
Oh, and, get the G1. It's far better.
it's really a sad story...
You lost your Nexus One.
...seriously? What ever happened to Lookout Mobile Security?
I think the best lo-cost phone would be the LG optimus line... You can find them brand new for around $200.
My mom would have me use the house phone if I lost my cell phone. Like, she'd make me carry a house phone around in my pocket. You know how hard it is to text with those?
Im sorry but an htc hero used from craigslist cost around 80-150 dollars worth.
Go with htc hero it has fantastic 5 megapixes camera and g2 to me is overrated.
If i had the money i would of bought another verizon phone. Cant wait for htc merge.

Tatoo~~~~
G1 hands down.
Swyped from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using Tapatalk
i cannot imagine how life is on a smartphone without full querty. g1 for sure. and yes, the resolution on tatto sucks with both hands
and the touchscreen on tattoo ... OMG! that`s no touch. that is pressing! i have and2.2 on g1. waht about a tattoo ? i have a coleague that is glad with a 1.5
if i go on, i`ll be sad all day.
i first bought a Htc Tattoo, liked it (my first smartphone ).
but i saw how limited it was because of it's resolution and no multitouch.
also i liked to tweak it (changing roms etc..), so i damaged my tattoo's touchscreen so i could exchange it for a htc magic (wich is almost equal to g1).
Only reason i see to get a tattoo, is that it doesn't lack ram, wich g1 does.
I'd recommend g1 (or magic for same price), or go for a slightly higher budget and get like a wildfire or so ..
Hi , having been an avid HTC user a while back, rom changing etc, I got an iphone and have used that since. I once went back to a HTC touch pro 2 but didnt like it so ended up getting an Iphone 4 on release. Since then I still have a longing for HTC so am wondering whether to get another? I want to get away from the iphone to tinker with HTC again but cannot decide, what do you guys think?
I was looking at a desire Z because I want a physical keyboard so am hoping to swap for my Iphone 4.
My phone is in as new condition with box and accessories bought from Apple so is unlocked to all networks.
Let me know if interested, cheers. Stu.
Just looked at this lol
http://forum.iphone-developers.com/general-discussion/541-iphone-htc-desire-z-swap.html
I got a Z today, and I must say it's an amazing phone
Of course hTC Desire Z!!!
Stick with HTC
This should be self-explanatory, Desire Z FTW!
HTC Mogul (old)> iPhone (any model)
i had the same choice here in canada, went with the desire z and no regrets so far. though i briefly used swype on my friend's captivate and it was definitely impressive and with a larger screen thats nice... but no flash on the camera is a downer. iphone... meh
Isn't it pretty dumb to ask a question like that here at XDA? The people here will, of course, vote for the HTC. Looking for Android fanboys? Well, XDA is the place. You won't get a single objective answer here.
That's like asking the guys at Mercedes if you should get an Audi. The answer won't surprise you.
No no no, bazooka, I stated that I had HTC touch pro 2 previously and didnt like it. I just wanted a subjective view if things had improved since then.
Oh, i see
The answer is yes. HTC has improved since the Touch Pro 2. Check out some videos on YouTube or something, or take a HTC out for a spin. HTC and Android matches perfectly, and HTC has improved big time the last year(s).
I love my Desire Z (T-Mobile G2) that I just picked up, but they keyboard probably isn't for me. I think I would prefer an HTC Glacier (MyTouch 4G) instead.

Thanks Bazooka, I looked around and they do look better on video, so hopefully will get some interest for my iphone and go back to the good old days of rom flashing etc.
Was'nt too sure about the android OS , but seems to have come on a lot with the apps growing and growing.
I love the physical keyboards, had a wizard first off and had others all with keyboards.
Just something I am comfortable with .

Android is great, but IMO it's not "there yet". Don't get me wrong, it's good, but it can get better, and it will.

Haha! Nice job!
Alright, So my brother is looking to get a Refurbished Verizon smartphone.
All he basically wants to do on it is browse the web, check email, and light gaming. His choices are the Samsung Fascinate (I have this one), Droid X, Droid Incredible, Droid 2 Global.
I want your opinion on which you think the best smartphone out of these phones is.
Thank You.
Then he doesn't need a smartphone.
what do you mean?
If your brother only wants to check email, browse the internet and game here and there why does he need a smartphone?
I can tell you right now, that 3/4 people on these forums don't NEED a smartphone. He's just jumping on the bandwagon, I don't really use a smartphone for what its intended for.
P.S. what do YOU use your smartphone for?
I just need opinions, not wether he need a smartphone or not.
If you don't mind waiting a few weeks, the HTC Trophy (Windows Phone 7) should be annouced soon. Windows Phone 7 has gotten tons of great reviews and is claimed to blow away Android and the iPhone in the performance end. It does everyting you want and even has Xbox live support (a lot of great games).
Just a thought if your not fixed on Android...
Main reason why I bought my HD2 was to mod it, watch movies, browse internet on the huge screen, listen to music, text,... but if i had to choose between the phones you listed I would go with the Fascinate. My friend has one and the screen on that thing is pretty beast.
Ohh yeah but if he could wait i would be all over the htc thunderbolt haha

Thanks for the feedback, but since he's getting a refurb those are the current choices he has, but thanks anyway

Now thats what i'm looking for, but like i said hes going for a refurb, so i doubt he would get the Thunderbolt pre-owned. (i wish opon a star)
Anyone else want to share their opinions or should I just tell him to get a Fascinate?
I say Fascinate. It will do everything he wants with it still being stock.

would the phone choice be dependent upon who he has as a carrier? I like my evo, and Droid Incredible and my son has an Evo Shift he really likes. My son did have a Samsung Epic that he did NOT like.
All of the aforementioned phones will do exactly what your brother wants out of his phone, whether it be smart or not. However, out of past experiences, I would say the Droid OS is pretty stable, and becomes even better when flashed

Hi, im looking to buy a htc phone. and would like some suggestions as to which one?
i have previously owned a htc wildfire which i thought was too slow and not capable to run some games. However, the android software itself was great.
I have heard that the htc desire, is the next upgrade from the wildfire?
Which htc phone would you recommend priced reasonably and has a decent cpu which does not tend to run slow and is capable to run most games and apps?
any suggestions are much appreciated.
Htc evo or thunderbolt if u need a phone right now but if your in no hurry and could wait wait for the htc evo 3d
Hi, ok ill have a look into them phones.
btw, im from the uk and if im right not all the models which are available in the us are for sale in the uk?
that can be done by googling
The htc evo has great awsome dev support which allow us tons of different custom roms and themes. most of the devs that are for the evo are going to the evo 3d so the evo 3d is gonna get a bunch of great devolophers so yeah i recommend evo or evo 3d
the UK phone-market is almost identical to that of Australia. here the best options are probably the Incredible S or just wait a little while and get the market topping Sensation.
Both good phones with enough CPU power to chew through all average apps!
Desire S is great in upper end but Wildfire S is superb for medium range...
okay thanks for the suggestions so far.
ive narrowed it down too 2 phones
the htc desire hd and the desire s.
which one would you say is the better from the 2?
regards.
HTC desire hd

You do gaming. My suggestion bought used HD2 TMOUS with 1024 ROM you can do alot with this dinosaurus. The beast is considered OLD but this is one of Masterpiece of htc released. I hold IncrAPdible S now with (very sad S-ON) upgraded to 2.3.3 by htc via FOTA. But I also hold HD2 wwe version. I loved HD2. I will not buy HTC again unless they confirmed no other locked the boot-loader. I search a lot of web pages no lucks to find how to root my IncrAPdible S.
Go and get HD2, make dual boot then you can play any games you like
have great day
