Which is the best Desire? Z or HD?

am now using wildfire and i want to upgrade to a better phone since the wildfire resolution was really low. am confused btw Z and HD. i want one with fairly good battery and which is more comfortable to hold and use and also carry around
HD - huge size and lesser battery
Z - heavy
may be i should get the old desire?
i also had galaxy S in mind, but its out of stock. however a 3 months used one is available but without warranty
i want to buy a new mobile really fast as i have already sold my wildfire. please guide me guys

Had both and both are great phones... The HD is slightly more powerful with the added RAM so the browser will work quicker and applications will load faster, but also the Z is a great phone, lovely S-LCD screen and is great if you like a qwerty
I would say
DHD 9/10
Z 8/10
Nexus S 6.5/10
I have had all three phones and this is how i rate them
JD

I prefer the Desire Z, its like the G2 and its style and the HD is big like the EVO but it isnt that cracked up to what they make it to be.

DHD seems to have loads of bugs, my girlfriend got one and it ain't got nothing on my desire

suggest me android smart phone

i got 3 option
HTC Desire
HTC Incredible S
Google Nuxes S
i am from pakitan so the price for desire is 42K, Nuxes S for 44K and Incredible S is available for 46K
please suggest me, which cell should i buy.

The incredible S without doubt.
It is larger than the Desire (similar size to Desire HD). The Desire is just "old" compared to the other two and the Nexus S is a Samsung and I don't like Samsung phones (hardware and software, the former you can't do much about).

It depends really. Is this your first android phone?
One thing you might take for granted for example is that it will display Arabic characters but it doesn't. It is the top problem on Google's issue tracker at the moment but I have no idea of when they'll fix it. It is possible to get browsers such as opera that can display the characters correctly though.
On another point the Nexus S is a pure Android phone and as such is quite bare compared to HTCs. I have one myself but I did miss the selection of widgets that HTCs come with by default such as the mobile network on / off one. The last time that I looked none of the ones in the market worked on gingerbread.
If you're a new user I'd probably suggest the Incredible and perhaps something in the Nexus line for your next phone after that

thanks baz & jmm
yes this is my first android phone but i don't need Arabic support coz i can use set in english. so u guys suggesting me HTC Incredible S....

Absolutely, no question, HTC Incredible S.

Incredible S!

well HTC now is one of most popular brand, i think same like the others,HTC Incredible S

I would buy the Nexus S in a heartbeat, It would be the best of them. It is Google's version of the iPhone in quality and superior hardware. Those others don't really compare to it. The Nexus S is the only one with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). The other two are still on 2.1 or 2.2. And the Nexus S is the only one to have a genuine gyro.

@MartyLK
thanks for reply
dude if u r just talking about OS then incridable S is also getting Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) in June so no big deal for me to use 2-3 months old os there is difference of FM radio, camera and sound ......
and incredible S also getting Sense UI 3.0 with Gingerbread

I would buy Incerdible S absolutly

thanks guys.....
i just unboxed my Incredible S.....

Incredible S for sure !!!!!!!!

Why the incredible s but not the desire s?? They are very similiar!! The community is too small for the DS...

I find it to be the most overrated phone out there.
Good, maybe great, but nothing amazing.

+1 for the Incredible S
I love HTC and I'm a big fan of Sense as well (assuming that you root the phone and run sense 3.0 or a 2.1/3.0 mix)

[Q] HTC or ??

HTC Incredible S is the phone I am opting for. At the same time Desire HD seems to be a sensible choice. Can anyone guide me; which one is Better ? or any other model from the same family with somewhat same budget.
Secondly, this will be my first android. I have heard that HTC phones are best when it comes to Android updates and their special 'Sense' UI.
If any other brand in the market is having better choices in the Somewhat Same Budget ? Not only budget, but I expect a really good functionality alongside good looks.
Hope you guys there will surely help me make my decision...

Definitely go for HTC. Incredible is I think better as its screen is just the right size, not too small and not too large.

check Samsung I9000

HTC Incredible S and Desire HD both are OK.
It seems the camera of DHD is better than IS. And the battery capacity, IS > DHD.

@ hookguy, OmenosTM, evnnetuser. Thank you for your suggestion. I am definitely inclined towards HTC. Just wanted check some better opitions if available. Samsung is really offering some good models but doubt whether is it better to spend about 30K for Samsung instead of HTC.

That's easy!
The Desire HD has got Android 2.2 while the Incredible S has got 2.3 so I'd definitely buy the Incredible S. But if you remove the letters I C R D E B L and add the letters S O A N T, you get Sensation. That's the best phone you can get and I think that the hTC Sense UI makes it better than the Galaxy S II.

Desire hd has now got gingerbread http://www.eurodroid.com/2011/05/ht...branded-android-2-3-update-out-now-in-the-uk/

I go with HTC because samsung phone can get messed up right away if u root it . I rooted my g1,htc hero and never got them messed up. I switch over 40 roms together on both device. Since, getting galaxy it got messed up within a few rom i got it bricked. Even my droid from motorola didnt get messed up . Point is HTC and moto is durable. Im buy me a droid incredible 1 soon. Go with incredible s and HTC. I hate Samsung and their touchwiz isnt a dealbreaker trust me.

So, all you guys think that HTC is always a better option... am I right??

Make sure you go and physically play with the Desire HD before you buy it. It is a pretty big phone. I was surprised how big it was.

Shall I wait and watch the credentials of HTC Sensation and Samsung GS-II ?

My advice to you is to wait for the feedback from Sensation users, GB dual camera dual LED 1080p ...

I'm still thinking the SGSII is gonna be great down the road.
Still rocking the Incredible with the XDA Premium App.

Thanks a lot for your replies guys.
It seems its better to wait for reviews of Sensation and GSII...

[Q] New fast phone?

Hi,
At the moment I am using a HTC Desire and I find it to be to slow and the internal storage is to small.
Can someone recommend a fast dual core phone?
I have been looking at Samsung Galaxy s2 or perhaps som 3D phone...

This. You've answered your own question.

Maybe LG optimus 2X

My wife has gotten an Atrix 4g (AT&T), which recently got a gingerbread update. It's a beast of a phone, and quite fast.
The whole idea of the "webtop" dock for it, is just ridiculous to me though, especially since it costs more than a netbook.
*edit*
also worth note, it has 16gb built in user storage and 1gb of RAM.

I loved my Desire and never thought I would leave HTC until I got my SGSII.
Man, I looooooove my phone now

Hi guys, I know I'm a little off-topic, but not that much.
I would like your opinion on weather I should get an HTC Desire for about $330 or a Milestone 2 for about $530, or even de Defy for the same $530.
I ask because the hardware specs are very similar for the three, but i Know the desire is older.
Thank you.

Thx, I Will check the spec on them...

Total thread hijack if you ask me

Samsung s2 or sensation

HTC Sensation !!! a good one.

Samsung Galaxy S2 is at the Moment the King under the Smartphones!

Or maybe you can wait a little longer for the HTC 3D EVO.
That's a really nice piece that you can feel the 3D vision without any glasses.
Cool~~~~

Sorry about that, I'll make my own thread.

As a sensation owner I would say have play with both of them ( and look through the general sections on xda), the sensations gets stupidly hot for no reason and because the antennas are in the back cover the gsm/wcdma and wifi both have death grip issues.. as far as performance I know the sgs II is the fastest and has a better more well saturated screen but if I am no mistaken also gets really hot.... thats bench marks fast but I dont see any slow down on the sensation games play perfectly and the UI with customs roms is blisteringly fast...
hard decisions for you

Oh, I see a few more people have jumped in... Still not sure what to get... I shall look around... I not to sure about the 3d... The one I looked at hurt my eyes...
Probably will keep using my desire awhile longer... Need more memory... Need to decide soon!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

The Samsung Galaxy S II has the better screen, and from what I've seen it makes better pictures. Also the battery for the SGSII is better: Li-Ion 1650 mAh vs. the Li-Ion 1520 mAh from the HTC Sensation. But the differences are not that great, and the HTC Sense from the Sensation is a great UI, and if you use a custom ROM from LeeDrOiD you can get a greater experience from the Sensation.
For day-to-day usage I would get the HTC Sensation, the Phone UI is the best out there. You may find similar apps on the market that mimic the Phone UI, but it's not the same.
And until you get your new device, try a ROM that has data2EXT. This will increase your internal storage to up to 2GB. Most HTC Desire Custom ROMs have this data2EXT option. Go here -> Desire Index - Everything Desire is here!

[Q] Is Sensation worth to buy?

I am xperia neo user and want to move on, and buy a new and more powerful phone.
The question is,
1. Is Sensation still worth to buy?
2. Is Sensation get official ICS update from HTC?
3. Is Development here better or worse than neo? At least from cyanogenmod.
4. Could someone give me a reason why sensation is still worth.

Way too many problems after ICS update, also the device, no matter how good it is, suffers same issue as any other electronics ... is getting old and Sensation is old. Maby you are one of those who like to tweak and fix your phone, if yes Sensation is great for you - i buy phones to be actually able to use them normaly with not that much effort put into that. Sensation just needs way too much of my attention with every new update to check what was fixed and what was ****ed more then it already was. Sensation is great piece of hardware - no doubt about that - with crap system and crap software released by a company that dont give a jack about its customers. Thats my experience with Sensation and actually any HTC so far.
But this is very specific, subjective, yet based on reality, point of view. Good luck with deciding anyway.

You sound bitter. The Sensation doesn't have any real issues for many, many people. Plenty of roms to choose from and the S3 processor is more than capable of handling ICS, Sense or not. It's a great phone.

I came from an Xperia Play at the weekend. The Sensation is superior in every way. The UI is much more fluid in every ROM, bigger and nicer screen, much better build quality and camera. Loads of roms and kernels to choose from. Overall I'm very happy with it

I found mine very slow after I got ICS OTA upgrade to GB and was going to change phone (I only ever had about 60mb RAM spare).
Then I spent some time here learning about rooting/custom ROM's and went ahead and rooted/install custom ROM. I now have over 300mb RAM spare and my phone is nice and fast....now I like my Sensation again

I'm still using a 524MHz phone with no GPU, OC'ed to 710, so a Sensation should be easily fine with ICS (and yes, I'm on ICS too)

I think at hardware side its still one of the most powerfull phones. That official Android 4 is maybe a little fail (Home screen falls almost every time when you close some biiger app) and camera has really bad quality, but with custom roms these problems disapears. For actual price i would highly recommend you to buy this phone.

Thanks guys for your opinion, i think i'll get my sensation soon.
Wait for me
