Hello friends I am new to HTC, I have a "APPLE I PHONE" & just saw my friends HTC Touch Diamond 2, then I realized that my I Phone SUCKED BIG TIME & from then I have become HTC CRAZY!
Well I am interested in BUYING a new HTC handset & the same friend told me about this site.
So please suggest me the best HTC handset available for now or any other releasing soon!
PS : -
I require a HUGE screen
A good cam
& any OS, I mean Windows or Android will do
Price not a prob
[While suggesting just mention the price if you know cause I have no idea about prices]
wait for HTC Leo it will come with 1GH cpu , 4.3 screen but that not offical yet
in this time the best htc device
running Window mobile is the htc touch pro 2
running Android is the HTC Hero
Alternative can be Sony's Expressia. It has solid spec's.
Expressia getting popular in Europe a lot in Windows mobile range.

If yes then I would love to have it!
PS : -
A phone with or without a keyboard will do, not a prob!
Which is the present best phone I can BUY?
That one seems more like Diamond 2 which is already on sale
Look here for Leo:

My vote would be Hero for something immediately or the Touch HD 2 in the near future.
HTC One X is the best go for it
hTc
htc one x would be my best bet. 8 mp camera hd (1080) recording 4.8 inch screen (i think) and it is quad core. the only problem is is its quite pricey
I too feel your pain. I have iPhone 4 and I'm bored with it there is no customization at all without a jailbreak and what little there is suck in my opinion .
I say go with the HTC ONE X. What a beautiful phone I miss htc so much wished i had the money to buy one look it up you'll like it
when you say HUGE, are we talking borderline tablet? Like Galexy Tab 7?

Ummm you know you are giving someone advice which they asked for three years ago... I think it's time for a mod to come in and lock this thread up.
Hi,
I am new to this forum.
I have joined because I have many questions to ask haha.
I'm currently looking to buy a new cellphone.
Right now I am looking at the HTC Hero or the Moto Backflip, but I am also open to suggestions.
What I'm looking for is a solid phone that would last me a good 2-3 years, with a touchscreen and wifi are musts.
I have heard that Android is probably the best OS out there, so i would highly prefer it.
A qwerty keyboard would be nice since i like to use MSN on it. However, it's not a must have.
What i usually do on the phone is just browsing some web pages, youtube, msn, and facebook using wifi.
I do not want a data plan that is why I am looking to buy the phone unlocked on ebay.
My maximum budget is 400 dollars.
Now my question is,
I heard that the hero is a great cellphone, and I am willing to pay an extra 100$ over the backflip's price to get it if it is indeed a great phone.
Would you guys suggest me get the hero? or to get the backflip that has a qwerty keyboard? I have heard that the backflip will have android 2.1 on it, is the update out already??
Or if you guys can suggest another good phone that would be great too!
The price on ebay:
$400 for hero
$300 for Backflip
Please give me some suggestions!
I have read in another thread someone said the Hero is outdated already???
Hasn't it only been out for about half a year only?
If it is outdated, what phone should I go for that is within my price range??
thanks
Hero 100%. Better design, HTC, support, not crippled, gorgeous looking, the list goes on. The backflip has no support from here, and personally I think it's basically the GSM version of the devour. Ugly, boring, no support, and you never see em'
Please get neither if you are willing to spend 400. Both phones are a bit outdated and will have a hard time holding up 2-3 years. Get a nexus one or a Droid (milestone ) for that price

Thanks for your opinion!
I found that the milestone might be a good option since it's within my price range and has a physicial keyboard.
The $600 nexus ones on ebay are a bit beyond what I am willing to spend haha.
So will the Motorola Milestone be the best choice if I have $400?
How's the processor??
Motorola Milestone is an ok choice, but you should try it out first. I would rather stay with HTC devices.
What HTC device would you recommend me to get then ?
Hey, so I'm looking into buying a new phone and the now I'm down to the hero and the backflip. I have never had an android phone before so the phone I decide on can't be too complicated. I'm 14 and I text a lot so the phone has to be able to type easily and fast. Please give me advice if you have experience with one or both of these phones.
Is there any other advices?
I am buying my new handset soon!
+1 for the n1 as already suggested above. You can also look at the HTC Aria or Samsung Captivate.
Unfortunately the Nexus one and the other ones you suggested are somewhat beyond my price range $400 is really my maximum. Unless I can get a used one somewhere ...
As it is one of your original options, I will give my opinion on it : The hTC Hero
Had one of these for a while (by my standards) for now, and its a pretty solid device. Okay, it isn't the fastest processor, and it has likely recieved its last official rom, but i love it
Have just got Éclair running on it, and there are noticeable differences since android 1.5, although no live wallpapers (not that i see this as much of a loss, as I don't tend to just sit and stare at my home screen, i try to use the phone)
There are plenty of apps for it, plenty of custom roms, and a sizeable (albeit not the biggest) user base on xda.
The build quality is pretty decent - it has withstanded my daughter standing, jumping, chewing, and dribbling all over it, so it has passed that test for me.
In my opinion, the downside is the camera - there is no flash. But even then, it is not the worst camera I have had on a phone.
Hope that helps
If you are on ATT and you have $400 you should go with the HTC Aria you can get it off contract for $350. Even though its only a mid level phone it is a much better and newer phone then the Hero and the Backflip.

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.

At least use Google before posting questions...or read the page on HTC own website http://www.htc.com/uk/product/desires/overview.html
I just googled "compare htc desire v htc desire s" and my first hit was this:

this is a silly question...
1) your asking in the desire s forum so you already expect the answer
2) why would you favor a old deisre in favor for the new one which fixed all the old ones faults..
Actually, there are two ways to look at it:
If you are a user, who wants functionality etc...go for desire S (also a little more pricy)
But if you are a app/ROM developer, I'd go for the good ol' desire as it is much more supported... (also little cheaper)
I don't wanna sound negative after only a week of owning the phone, but I'm starting to think Desire S is going to be a little like Legend - Not as big leap forward from it's predecessor with not as many users/devs...
There are gazilions of Desire users, but how many Desire S users do you know other than here? Just sayin'

actually you have a very good point... i really hope that will not be the case though.. hopefully there will be great development..
Hope for many many developers too And many many great ROMs
Yep, he is obviously developer... Simple:
If you require something more powerful: Desire S
If you require something powerful: Desire
NumLine1 you're right , you're right
Newer.. is not always better , but, always powerfull
If you think Desire is good phone, then pick Desire
But if you want better than Desire without larger screen, then pick Desire S
I'm swear, before i buy DS i'm little confuse because my phone is Desire...
But after i already buy > open box > feel in my hand > OMG i'm not confuse anymore
desire s is better than Desire (design,built quality,screen,internal mem size LOL, and network reception)
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
Desire S is better for sure, but also more expensive. If he really doesn't require that high end experience, he should be ok with classic desire.
I don't see any real reason to buy android phone if the buyer just use it for calls. It's not my money though...
Well I wanna buy a new phone (obviously) and I want your advice.
I currently have a Samsung Wave, I gotta change it since Bada OS is a piece of crap, and I currently do NOT recommend it to everybody until Bada 2.0 is released
Things I care about :
-Android 2.3 or updatable to 2.3 | updatable to Ice Cream (optional)
-Strong sound quality through headsets
-Great camera, 5.0 or better. Flash isn't important if the night mode is great
-Speed, 1GHz processor and ability to play 3D games smoothly, I hate lags
-Popular to developers, so I can find some advices and easy to root
-Long-lasting, i'll keep the device I buy for 2 years
-Screen above 3.7", screen should be the best thing, so either SAMOLED or SLCD
-Not as expensive as Sensation and Galaxy S II, budget is $530
-Long supported, so the company won't sell me out. That automatically eliminates Motorola.
Any advice's appreciated, Thanks.
The og Samsung galaxy s or one of it variants.

What do you think of the HTC Desire S ?
How about going a itsy bitsy bit higher price and get one of the latest flagships like HTC Sensation, HTC EVO 3D, or Samsung Galaxy SII?
--- meaning: change your requirement a tiny bit ----
Edit:
Long support? I believe no company will give you long enough support, I believe only rooting and getting support from the devs in this forum is the best way
The term support, I understand it as software update support, so that you can go as far as you can with the phone.
example:
Desire with Gingerbread and Sense 3.0. These you can get only on the unofficial way done by the devs.
I have the original HTC Incredible. Very happy with HTC phones. I would buy another and likely will when the time comes.
You just described the Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000
I had the phone for 8 months and that's a super device. No way to brick or anything, with great customizations and mods..

Haha thanks man, I guess rooting is inevitable after a while.
And I saw these two phones and they're perfect, but I can't afford them as i'm using my money for a lot of things, it'll be a bit hard so i'm asking for some cheaper phones

Thanks man. But i'm wondering is the Galaxy S still a strong device after all this time ?
The main competition now is between Samsung Galaxy S and HTC Desire S, I tried both these phones and even with that i'm confused lol. Who's better with the things that I care about ? I already know Galaxy S has a better screen but I mean besides that, and thank you all very much
Yeah, I would go with the Evo 3d. Really a great phone. But might be too pricy?
Eventually it's up to you. But have in mind that the Galaxy S was chosen as the best smartphone of 2010 and sold a bit over 10 000 000 devices globally..
If you would be buying this device and would need help about anything related just PM
