Rhodium is much better on my opinion!
TP 2 , HTC should always keep a hard keyboard in the Android and WP7s product line.

Cold not be more agree!!
Hope HTC comes soon with something interesting for both platforms
I would probably go with the HD2, simply because of the much larger screen (which is also capacitive) and the 1GHz Snapdragon processor. The Rhodium is a fine device, and the keyboard is unparalleled, but the internal processor sucks to say the least, and the resistive screen cannot even be compared to the capacitive one on the HD2. Both devices are excellent though, so no matter which you choose, you can't make the wrong choice.

That's your real decision in this...do you need the (world's best) keyboard bad enough to accept some of the (still awesome) TP2's relative shortcomings? Or can you get as comfortable with typing/swyping on this big gorgeous screen as many of us have done now.
EDIT: and just so everybody knows (and as you can see), orb3000 has arranged for some custom scripting that auto populates any thread with "TP2 vs" in the title, with a post of his saying "Rhodium is much better in my opinion!"...automatically and immediately as soon as the thread is posted lol j/k...he's just very passionate about his qwerty, and with good reason!

I want to experience the new tech Touchflo in HTC touch. But my friend said that HTC Touch's real performance is not good.
So do you think HTC Touch is worth buying? Thanks!
Or I should wait for some new products?
This is probably one of the most perplexed questions one could ask themselves when referring to electronics, lol. It truly depends on what your needs and preferences are at the moment, lol. Dealing with phones and electronics in general, devices and it's capabilities changes, and keep in mind they are often tweaked and hacked frequently. I have an unbranded HTC Herald, and I questioned myself as to whether or not I should get the HTC touch, or dual touch. But truth be told, I tweaked my herald to the point where it behave like the touch. I don't want one now, lol. I like the slide out keyboard and that's so crucial to me. My point ... think about what your needs and preferences at the moment MORE than what type of devices are out now. You're better off that way. Hope this helps.

No... right now is a bad time to get it. There are newer phones coming out right now and they are exponentially much better than the newer HTC phones coming out last year.
I've been thinking of selling off my Xperia X1 and thinking of getting me a HTC Diamond 2. Bigger screen than the Xperia, plus I found myself not liking to use the keyboard. So hmmm.. Any other recommendations you fellas would recommend? I'd like a phone that has a big screen, of course, good hardware to last me at least 1-2 years. Doesn't need a keyboard...
Cheers fellas!
Wait till the HTC Thoth comes out

HTC X7501 would be a nice couple with you all
strong hardware, big screen, optional keyboard
thanks guys for the quick response. I am thinkin between HD and D2 right now. Checked out both HTC X7501 and Thoth. More interested in Thoth, though I've read that it's actually HTC Leo? Could anyone clarify more?
I have been using Samsung Omnia i900 for last one year guys. Now i intend to get a new phone but there seem to be alot of options out there and it made me confuse. Everyone has an edge over the other in some regard.
I almost went to get an HD2 , My reason being that it can run BOTH OS, WinMo 6.5 and Thanks to dev at xda it can also run Android almost as well. And i am a freak in tryin all the new stuff related to diff OS, so that gives me an edge for HD2, however its touch screen although capacitative wasnt as impressive as iphone 3gs.
And i m not sure how good android is, would the phone still be upgraded.
Please vote for what you think is going to be overall a better choice to go for now with regards to,
OS
Apps
Hardware
Future Development
Regards
Please do also give ur reasons why u suggest a particular phone
Really need help deciding coz i m confused
I would go with the iPhone 4 simply because front facing camera, hd recording, super amoled screen, great gaming device, sleek new design, and the best new "feature" added.. THE DEATH GRIP!

i agree with ipanda, the hd2 is good but its excessively large screen mixed with the type of lcd it has means the colours are all washed out, the galaxy s has good multi touch and games but the gps is crap, the iphone cant get a signal and the nexus one is just a desire without the optical trackpad and less ram lol
umm Nexus One is also abit cheaper i guess.... Optical trackpad doesnt really matter i guess... but currently its official software doesnt support Multi-TOuch which Sux.
Galaxy doesnt have a Camera FLASH... HOW the hell can Samsung miss that ... LOL
I am tilted for Desire.. But tell me one thing. Is the Android stuff really cutomizable? How about apps like superb 3d games in iphone.. Does android market has similar stuff?
And the MAIN Qs for me...... Whats the future for Desire? I mean new ROMs and New Android OS v3.0 or so will be available for desire or atleast custom roms maybe ?
I heard Android 3.0 is comin after xmas... i really want a device which can be updated with time
Eh... uh.... HTC Desire HD
hey...
and HTC EVO 4G???
my vote is for HD2..
I see I will have to raise my voice a little, HTC DESIRE HD IS GOING TO BE ANNOUNCED 15TH SEPTEMBER, IT WILL HAVE 4X THE POWER OF HTC DESIRE AND 8MPX CAM WITH DUAL LED FLASH. ALSO IT WILL HAVE AN AMAZING 4.3 INCH SCREEN AND ANDROID 2.2
IT WILL BE MOST PROBABLY CHEAPER AND WILL HAVE BETTER BATTERY LIFE. AND AT LAST, HDMI AND KICKSTAND.
THANK YOU

Can anyone still answer my Qs that ... Will Desire also receive future updates from Android like 3.0 Gingerbread or so?
Coz i want a phone i can update/modify ... So that excludes iphone frm ma list
http://www.androidcentral.com/sprint-epic-4g-review
Hopefully my link worked. If carriers are not a problem, then I think Sprint's Epic 4g is the best phone out right now. From what I have read there is no GPS problem. It also has a larger slide out QWERTY than Droid 2,it has camara flash, and 4g - if your in covrerage area. Lag problems are also gone. There is the ability to cut off touchwiz in favor of android launcher as well. On my Captivate, the camara takes great photos without flash so camara quality is superb. Plus it has about the most capable CPU you can find coupled with the best gpu available. I bought the iphone4 on day 1 and returned it on Captivates release day and have not regretted it. And yes, its very customizable. Just pick a carrier with options because you can always trade it out within 30 days.

nope.
Android supports multitouch since 2.0, but the touchscreen sensor on nexus one is too bad to report multitouch.

Completely bull****.
No Evo 4G option? Now that the bugs have been worked out it's tits.
yeah my last phone was a vogue so I don't have much to compare it to, but there are already people saying they took back their epics after having AMOLED burn-in issues, bad buttons, no gps, etc.
Out of those phones, I think the HD2 has the best value considering its around $100 cheaper than the other ones, but with similar hardware specs. However, I've never owned any of those phones, so I could very well be wrong.
On a side note, if you are really into putting on different OS's and would like a change, you could take a look at the n900 (slower processor but could be overclocked) or even upcoming Nokia N9 (Though it seems like Nokia phones don't receive much love in this forum) . They're going to have the Meego OS, and developers have also ported Android 2.2 to run on the N900 aswell.
Seems like competetion here is between HD2 and Galaxy S, But there is a price difference of 200$ between these two phones, WHich is kinda alot
Extra 200$ for AMOLED 16 M screen, i guess thats the only hardware part where Galaxy/Desire are better than HD2. A small diff in RAM too, but otherwise all hardware specs are similar.
HD2 probably gets bad battery life with android and you could run into some weird bugs, they've done a great job with android, its what prolonged my touch diamonds life. Win mobile is dead, haven't looked back since I got my Evo. Best phone I've ever had, no regrets but there's always something new coming out.

HD2. Got 4 microsd cards, 3 running different builds of android the other running win mo. Depending on my mood or need for a particualr app (sat nav/games etc..) I just boot into whatever suits, HTC & Microsoft pretty much ditched this phone after the US launch yet XDA have given it a fresh start and pushed it back to the top of the smartphone list IMO. If you like playing about with your phone then there is no other option, the others are just phones in comparison
I have been usin WinMo devices for last 2 years or so, but i guess WinMo is kinda dead end now. Even if i get HD2, i will like to use Android on it for a change, So why not just get an Android set with No bugs
Well i am still compiling up my money... got 400$ by now That shud suffice for HD2, but i guess i gotta wait and save some more for Galaxy or Desire.
Why are people voting Galaxy and Not Desire ? I mean its almost the same hardware.... and Desire has a bigger community here i guess.... Htc phones usualy get new updates while i m not sure samsung will keep up the updates for their phones :S
Hey guys, I'm looking forward on moving to a phone with a bigger screen and the Desire (Telus version aka a8182 since the 3G is compatible with the Argentinian band) is the best I can afford ATM.
I would like to know your opinions on the phone and the new SLCD screens that replaced the AMOLED featured on the first series of the Desire. Would you recommend it? Is there any problems I should be aware of- besides the multitouch "bug"?

The Desire is a really nice device. My biggest complaint about the Nexus One is that the capacitive keys are not located accurately, and too close to the bottom of the touchscreen. The Desire's hard buttons fix that. It has the same N1 touchscreen bugs, but nothing that I can't live with. It's flash capable, has a decent sized screen, has a trackpad, isn't a clown phone and it's pretty damn responsive on current firmware. All in all, it's hard to find a better device for everyday use. It's last years device, but it was among the best of last year's devices, and is probably the most popular Android smartphone in the world - for very good reason.
If you buy one, you will like it - but don't overpay. You should be able to find a nice used one for $325 - $350ish tops, and if you want to use it on AT&T, make double sure it's the A8182 model.

Thank you for your answer Attn1. I'm looking for the a8182 specifically since I live in Argentina and down here we share the same bands with AT&T. I'm bidding for one on ebay, my top bid is $250 and I'm winning so far for $172 but there are still 20 hours left. Luckily I'll get it for less than $250. I assume that most people that has a a8182 model in the States got it from Telus in Canda. Do you have to pay taxes in the States to import something from Canada?

And just to clarify on this -- the Aria has the same touchscreen "bugs" (limitations really) as the N1 or Desire. So if they weren't an issue with the Aria, it shouldn't be an issue with the Desire.

Actually, no, I wasn't referring to multi-touch deficiencies. I own all three phones - the Aria touchscreen does not flake out like the N1/Desire touchscreens do. It just just need to sleep the screen and wake it again to correct it on the N1/Desire, and it doesn't happen so frequently that I can deal with it, but it happens a lot more than it does on the Aria.

Thank you! Unafortunately I didn't win the auction on ebay but I'll keep on searching for a Desire. You like hardware buttons on the Desire over the capacitive ones on the Aria/N1? I'm aware that capacitives are very easy to "press" when you're using the phone and that kinda sucks but they look way better IMO. Not that image matters that much but hardware buttons feels a bit 2 years ago.
