Hi guys!
Long time i been out of xda-dev.. by the way, im thinking on buying a new phone..
HD2 or Desire??
i haven't yet held an android device but i heard it has many awesome apps rather than winmo... Im a former chef so i would like to have a customizable phone that I can fiddle..
i have read that hd2 has a port of android.. is it already stable? can i install androids apps? any important bugs?
OR getting the DESIRE is much less of a headache? regarding lags/frezzes..
thanks..

ok so here's the thing, i have an upgrade on sprint and am deciding between the touch pro 2, the hero and the samsung moment. the only reason i really like the hero is because of sense. but if if someone here knows how to get sense on the moment i would snap it up immediately.
however the touch pro 2 looks amazing with the big screen and that awesome keyboard. not to mention i looked around on the forums last couple of days and have seen all the crazy stuff for windows mobile with cooked roms and stuff. not to mention u guys have android on WM so yeah.
i'm coming from a pre, and was part of the first homebrewers so i doubt i'll have to much trouble with modding or rooting the WM or android phones. i dealt with alot of coding with the pre and it was a bit of a pain but enlightening.
so i'm just wondering what u TP2 and Hero users have to say. and if anybody can answer about getting sense ui on the moment that would be great.
tl;dr what should i get Hero, TP2 or Moment.

My advice...
Drop the Moment...
Go with a TP2. They are working on porting Android for this and will not be long before you can see a port with Sense on the TP2 (if there isn't one already).
Hope this helps.
so any other responses? or opinions.
Go for the TP2 which as mentioned has many cool stuff & more in development. Very reliable with a nice screen!
But if U want the cool Android stuff now, then of course it's the Hero...
so about the TP2 does it run sense like the hd2 or touchflo? and where do i go to get all the cool stuff for it, anywhere specific.

Hi guys,
I wanted to buy Desire but just found out about HD2 Android development, I really love the big screen of HD2 so just wondering do you think it will be able to run Android as good as Desire in future?

Don't count on it.
Get the HD2 for it's Winmo 6.5.5 which is better than the overhyped android
It's an OS for serious people, not kids who need fart apps.
It does everything you need in a portable device.
You need to decide why you have such a phone though, Anrdoid may be what you need.

Actually WinMO has no future thanks to Microsoft's stupid policies! I used to have a HD2 just traded it since I wasn't able to find a decent VNC Client on it! Just been dying to see Android on HD2, the videos posted today looks really great, it seems developers are near a great working build!
@Eienkei
Try realvnc! There are a lot of VNC-clients
@Topic
Hd2, because it's LCD is better than the PenTile AMOLED!
Leo all the way!!!
Since Winmo 6.5 is dead walking, HD2 depends on XDA-Developers only! Hope they don't let us down!!!
I previously had an HD2 before I bought my Desire and to be honest with some of the ROMs that you can get from here it was almost on Par with the Desire, the screen is gorgeous and I loved being able to use it in landscape, only thing that was a killer for me was the lack of Spotifiy which I use a lot so Android seemed the way to go, but I'd still consider picking up another HD2 again as a plaything if I saw one cheaply.
I could also choose between the hd2 and desire, I chose the hd2 mainly for the huge screen. A friend of mine chose the desire instead of the hd2 because of the better app store for android. I suggest to simply try them out in a shop. To me xda is just as good as the android app store, so I'm happy with my decision.
If what you want is android, get the desire.

I also think so.
They say Desire HD is on the way, it sports 4.3 inch display! It would be amazing! But still, HD2 is here right away!!!
Hi guys,
I need to buy a PDA. I have 3 devices in my budget:
X10
HD2
Desire
Which one to go for? I am more leaned towards HD2 with a hope that it runs Android with all functions (including Camera / Good battery life + no issues with Mic for Incoming / Outgoing Calls) & it will also support WinMo7.
Please share your opinions esp. for HD2 vs Desire
sounds to me like you have already made up your mind
hTC Leo: You can have both Android and WM, and perhaps WP7
hm..
But how is your experience with LEO running Android? battery will survive for one day? or less?
Any problems with Calls?
My experience is great
all works almost same as in Android native devices , battery lasts less than in WM but can make it a day.
Not any prob with calls really.
@orb:
Are you using any WinMo ROM on your HD2 or is the default one?
i was going through a Thread where almost majority of the people were not happy with HD2.. may be because of the Stock ROM?
Of course I´m not using stock!
I flashed to a cooked ROM since day 1, have a read on Leo section so you´ll find out what members think of this super device!
Desire, i think thats why better than HD-2, unless your the guy who wants to switch to OS's everyday

I use the latest stock ROM for my HD2 on O2, never had a problem with it.
Also install SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 as I find it a better interface.
What do you actually want to use your phone to do though?
Most people from what I've read run android on their HD2 because it's cheaper than getting a desire HD, they don't really flip between the two.
What sort of user will you be?
Yup want to use it for Android with a hope that WinMo7 will run on it one day

Ok in that case there's no hope for you
Your option is the HD2 as I doubt WP7 will be ported to an android phone.
Have you played with WP7 yet?
I seriously recommend trying it out in a shop if your choice is android and WP7, because if you discover WP7 is not for you, it's better to find out sooner and then just buy an android phone.
I currently have the HD2 which I Love to Bits ! (NAND FTW)
Anyways. Im at the end of my contract and I am due a phone upgrade.
Anyone got a good recommendation on what is new and good ?
Im in the UK also.
Looking at the Desire HD as thats the Android I have on my HD2 now.
Hi,
Man if i had a pound for everytime i answered this question, id have......lots of pounds
Anyhooow, back to business.....
......... really you got to ask yourself some questions about how you will use it, what you want from it as this will effect what OS you want and therefore the device.
Desire HD is a great device as is the Desire Z (foldy out keyboard thing ).
Have you considered going WP7? (HD7 looks awesome!)
All have their own pro's and cons for example, WM7 is pretty locked down atm.
If you like droid (and congrats on getting nand working on ur HD2) and want to stick with it then the Desire HD is prob your best choice.
Worth bearing in mind though, that you whilst you can run droid on your HD2 (along with winmo) you cant run winmo on the DHD
.......btw if you want to get rid of your hd2, lemme know....i could do with two devices as i constantly screwing around with them haha
Cheers.
thanks for the quick reply.
Think I will go with the Desire, as dont really like WinMo.
Ill let you know about the HD2, but I do have a "Cracked screen" one + New Screen/Digi I may sell. I just cant seem to get it working properly.
Hey Guys,
a friend want my Desire but i don't know if I want it ?
My Desire isn't Original, on it is a Custom Rom and many other things,
so the HD2 wont be original for a long time, i want to make Android on it, it looks really easy, maybe its my experience what it makes very easy.
Now to my Question(s):
Is Android really stable on the HD2?
Can I do the same things like with the desire?
Is the HD2 a good smartphone and is it better or poorer than the desire?
I think the HD2 has much style but it gives many things they are worse...
Help me Please and sorry for my bad english
Trade
my advice keep your desire you will be sorry you traded

Keep your Desire , you're better off
Infused with CM7 Beta 3 by BehradGH in my Galaxy Ace using XDA App
Personally i'd hang onto the Desire. Screen size could be the deciding factor for you though. Do you like 'em small or large?
I think Desire is built better (based on my personal handling experience).
I'm quite rough with my gadgets so I always go for the better build quality.
And not to mention that the Desire is an awesome phone.
Yes, I think die big display is nice, but i think its to big, because I want to work with one hand on my smartphone and not with two.
I keep the desire.
Thanks a lot
