I've had this phone since it came out in November and usually me being the tech whore that I am would get bored really quick and lust for the next big thing. As of now, I'm still loving this phone. I've rooted, on CM7, configured my screens the way I like it and sometimes I notice me touching and holding the phone just for the sake of it. Could this finally be love?? I feel like I just found a great girl and stopped going out trying to get with club chicks. lol!
Even when I go to the tech sites and checking out the new phones coming out in Barcelona, I'm like meh, I got a good "girl" at home, I'm not lusting after them. Damn, I must be getting old! hahahaha!
Yeah I said the same thing. Why did sense have so many features from espresso with the sliding bars and such only phone I even consider was the desire s cause it reminded me of the nexus one.

i share the same love as u guys. it's simple, the device meets our needs for an internet phone, and more, once rooted. how can u not fall in love with it? if u get a fully functional one, i mean.
I love this phone too! No other phone can compare yet. I'm like you, I always go for the newest toy but I've been holding on. However, the Optimus 2x might win me over.
Normally I am looking for a new phone by now (always like the latest tech) but not so much with this phone. It might take the next mytouch to get me away from my current one. I've said this many times, this phone just works.
Same here, I've changed phones a lot recently, jumping on the newest one out. At this point though, I'm acknowledging more that this phone can do pretty much everything the newest ones out can do.
About dual cores, I say "Eh.." Higher megapixel camera? Eh.. NFC? That won't be useful until maybe late this year.
Until something groundbreaking comes out that this phone can't do or do well, I'm sticking with it.
Yeah, this phone is rockin'. Even a lot of the newer phones being announced are still below spec compared to this phone - even more so when rooted, devoid of bloat, and OCed. It'll probably take a year before this thing is made "obsolete." This and the HTC Thunderbolt are the most exciting phones right now IMO.
agreed. im so happy i got to own a good one in the end. it freakin flyes.
i love my phone....
I agree 100%. My wife often tells me I'm cheating on her with my phone, my on reply is, "Sorry babe it's the other way around, I'm cheating on my phone with you." Drives her nuts. I gave her my Vibrant and traded my HD7 to get the myTouch, and I'm not getting rid of "her" anytime soon...

hd7 was boring to me, only two screens and the only customization you could do is change the color and add tiles....
id say the only kewl feature was having xbox live on it and being able to play games and unlock achievements....
the OS is nice and smooth but just plain boring for me......i wanted to get rid of the phone so bad that i traded the phone for a brand new MT4G and 100 cash....

As a hd7/windows phone 7 user, i say go for it
it is a great phone and much more than 2 screens and you will love the experience with it vs android
and the social networking aspect of wp7 is definitely much better then what android has to offer(unless u get a blur device)
most ppl saying no to the hd7 are biased towards android
and if it's too big, that's why they have different variations of phones

I was holding out getting the mt4g for a long time because I knew there was something better right around the corner (isn't there aways something right around the corner hah). Once I heard the rumors of the optimus 2x coming to tmobile, u knew u was right to wait. But then tmobile ran the free mt4g promotion last week. It was too good a deal to pass up, so I jumped on it. No regrets.

Win7 Phone OS is just plain boring to me coming from android there's no customization you can actually do maybe if we give the OS a year or so they'll be able to step it up and listen to the community. I get the feeling Win7 users are mostly coming from BBs.
Hmmmmmm, has anyone upgraded from a HD2?
I had a HD7 and it's just sad. No ability to customze anything.
So, I kept my HD2. I install ROMs as often as I change clothes. But, it is getting old.
I really want a Robot native device that performs well and has 4G capability.
The wife has a Vibrant and holly crap. That thing is the bigest pile of crap. I feel bad that I got it for her. It's slow, the XDA Support sucks since no one really seems to like it.
I been seeing the MyTouch 4g and it seems intersting.
Thoughts?
Am wanting to upgrade from the HTC Aria and so far these two seem like the best choices to me.

+1 - I bought an Inspire 4G and am just so impressed with it. Just an outstanding phone in all manners. It looks beautiful. It feels beautiful. It works beautiful. The OS (Android 2.2.1 overlayed with HTC Sense 2.0) is just so supremely smooth, responsive, fast. But I saw mine get smoother, quicker and cleaner running after a couple days break-in period.
Regarding the Droid, I would highly recommend going with the Inspire instead. The Droid, in my opinion from handling them at Verizon, just can't compare to the pure and supreme smoothness of the Inspire from AT&T. There is so much to love about the Inspire. The skins are just a pure excellent feature and devs here at XDA create some good ones as well as the available official ones. And if you do go with the Inspire and want the majority of the available skins, I can upload all of the one I gathered here at XDA for you. I thing I have like 30 or 40 skins in apk form...meaning you just install them like any normal app.
You also get the HTCSense.com phone finder for the Inspire and it works well. You get access to the HTC hub and "Likes". HTC is a real and huge player in the smartphone market and they do make the best phones, in my opinion.
Good luck to you with whatever you choose.
the milestone 2 is the one boooyyyy
Okay. Let's add another perspective to this. I am also now considering switching back to an iPhone, or getting the Desire Z or the HTC Sensation. Opinions?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
i think milestone 2 (or hd2) is best for you
If you're willing to spend the extra cash for the Sensation I'd say go for it. Latest and greatest sense 3.0 and all kinds of shiny stuff you may or may not need
Seriously though, it's the most recent and most technologically advanced out of the whole lot here.
I'd probably wait for the Sensation. The Desire Z looks nice if you really want a keyboard, but it's super overpriced IMO. (You have to import it in the US, I think).
Please, please, please, do not buy an iPhone right now lol. The new one will probably be out in six months.
If you have to buy something right now, I'd buy in this order:
1. Inspire
2. Desire Z
3. iPhone
4. Milestone 2 (is there even a compatible version of this for the US?)
i think milestone 2 is better
because it looks really cool
Milestone - I had the D1 since day one basically, and moving to a new phone was a really hard decision because I love having a physical keyboard...
However my need for faster proc trumped the need for a physical keyboard... I decided to go with the Thunderbolt... So far I am not missing the physical keyboard too much as the HTC IME works really well.
Which Sense phones include Swype? I'd take that over a physical keyboard.
Lets have 1 last revival of this thread. Hd2 or one of at&t's windows phone 7 devices?

I'd avoid the HD2 if you're planning on using it with AT&T. You'd need the Telstra version--people seem to think it's worth twice as much as the T-Mobile US. Also, if you're using it as your main phone, keep in mind that the only OS it officially runs is Windows Mobile 6.whatever. Expect to tinker and experience bugs if you're going to run Android or WP7. It's a really cool project phone, but I wouldn't use it as a main device.
If you want WP7 and AT&T, I'd wait for the HD7S or whatever it's called. Or maybe import an AT&T-compatible device (Mozart maybe?). AT&T's current offerings seem pretty "blah" to me.
EDIT: In summary, based on price and availability, I'd go with the HTC Inspire...
Well I'm a true tinkerer (is that a word?) And everything I get, I think,"lets hack it in whatever way possible." I am completely used to experiencing bugs. But the only phone I consider from at&t is the inspire, atrix, or the samsung focus (not including the iphone) I only look at the hd2 because of being able to hack and change in so many ways. that's like heaven to me.

But now that you have included the Samsung Focus, you really can't go wrong with that one, either.
With the iphone I know what I'm getting into because I had an iphone for 3 years. I'm only hesitant to do windows phone 7 because I'm not too friendly with my aria when I thought I would be.

WP7 is actually Microsoft's version of an iPhone. It is smoother, cleaner and more elegant. Things work more conveniently also. So far, after the NoDo/Samsung firmware update, mine has been perfect. Amazing reliability. Mine is 24GB, but adding a 32GB card would give you 40GB of storage. Something iPhone doesn't yet offer. But WP7 currently lacks much of the features other systems have which are supposed to be added in the upcoming Mango update sometime around the end of the year.
Yeah, the more I have my Focus, the happier I get. But if you do go with a Focus...it has 8GB internal memory...and want to add a card, I recommend using a class 4 or class 6 card.
Right now I have a class 4 card but it's pretty slow. But I've also considered the htc surround due to me being such a music lover. Even the quantum for it's keyboard.

The Sensation is not what you want.This device may fall under the category with the Droid X and the Atrix. There is barely any support for either device. I suggest you ride it out with the G2X because support and roms will come in a bundle sooner or later. The sensation is tempting but once you do your initial setup than what?

But seriously, I'm a gadget whore. If it's shiny I'm one of the first to own it. I can't use cooked ROMs because everyone I've used (and I've used some of the greats) leave me f-d trying to register on foreign networks. I agree with you up to a point about dev support for the Sensation. Keep in mind it's HTC's flagship phone and will be highly sought after worldwide (as will the SGS2). Based on its popularity, I'm guessing it'll get some dev love.

This is the feature that kept me on the g2x.
Also the extra ram and processer power that the sensation has is for sense ui to run smooth.
Cant wait until new kernels arrive that will make the tegra a crazy powerhouse. The phone has been out for about two weeks, give it some time for the devs to get a hold of it. The nexus s for the first 2 months had a really lame dev section.

No because the only reason the THunderbolt was unlocked was because of a leaked old ROM that wasn't locked down. Total luck.
I just came from an atrix and there is one dev cooking roms. (He has two). While they were both awesome its not a whole lot...we have more development here in two weeks then they had in 3 months. The atrix has more ram which is its only advantage....I always had like 700 mb ram available.....so for me the extra ram didn't benefit me. I was tempted to get the nexus s due to it being pure google but the fact that its a samsung phone (had alot of problems with galaxy s) and with dual core phones coming out I figured I would skip it. The g2x is what the nexus s should have shipped with. Dual core tegra.

Motorola was a big name in Android because of the $100MM in marketing they and Verizon spent to put Android on the map with the "Droid does" campaign. Once HTC and Samsung got with the program Motorola's market share has been steadily declining. They're also primarily a North American player where Samsung and HTC are global. Both the SGS2 and Sensation will each individually sell more units than the entire Motorola Android product line. Spec wise the Atrix is a good comparison but sales and acceptance wise not so much. I at least give them credit for going back to the drawing board on the Bionic rather than launching what would have been an already dated phone.
Assuming all future Samsung and HTC phones are based off the internals of the SGS2 and Sensation, the impact of what you're saying is devs are going to stop working on Samsung and HTC phones. I find that hard to accept. Especially when the SGS2 and Sensation (and their derivatives) are expected to sell in the millions of units. Only time will tell.
So yeah Ios5 is pretty bad ass. I might just have to get rid of my inspire.

The phone makers make a phone they feels is stable. Then those of us that know the capabilities tweak them to get the best from them. I haven't had a phone I didn't hack (tweak) for 4 years now(even my iphones 2g, 3g, 3gs, and 4). All I can say is good luck and I hope you can find something that makes you happy stock. I'll never be happy stock. And androids the easiest to hack mod and tweak.

Iphone 2g/3g/4/5= closed and not even close to being as customizable as android.
Android phones= made by the phones actual maker, with os provided by google who also releases source code (inmost cases by google and the manufacturer)
Iphones= not even made by apple (ex. the iphone 4's chip set is made by samsung, and the touch screen is made by lg) Apple openly fights their dev community in a effort to keep their phone locked down ( they even filed a lawsuit which they lost), they never release the source.

I have the HD2 right now. Is the Sensation worth the upgrade? There is obviously not the HUGE dev community behind the Sensation in comparison to the HD2...
Easily worth the upgrade due to the much, much newer architecture. Even locked it has *AWESOME* written all over it.
There's no development on Sensation right now, as the means to unlock it has yet to be released.
This is (along with the Evo3D) HTC's new flagship, so it's bound to have proper development in time.

I had a hero and HD7 and thought I d jump ship and see how samsung phones work
Quiet happy , won't say its all goody but you can easily update to new firmware without the need to root via a software called ODIN
Already on 2.3.4 and never been happy..
Also I think the camera is slightly better than sensation
Just my thoughts
If possible go in a store and play with them both, you may get a bit of any idea of which one you fall in love with

I don't have HD2 or owned one, so i don't know if it's big upgrade. Maybe someone else can answer that. But the Sensation and the EVO3D are the 2 new flagships of HTC. So there is a good chance there will be a huge community, and a lot of roms and other stuff for both of them.

Well HD2 only has 7 meg HSDPA, and a single core processor...

S II is iffy as far as TMobile availability as far as I know. Does anyone have the "official" word?

Im not sure about the GSII but everyone knows about the Hercules. It might have a 4,5 inch display and a different chipset but nobody is really sure yet. Its actually rumored to have the Adreno 220 which will probably be a lot faster than it is on the Sensation due to the ****ty HTC drivers and not having a UI with useless eye candy.

Maybe so, but it all depends on how u use the phone. If all the apps and games are still running good, why upgrade. That would be my thought. It's all personal.
But if you want to upgrade, because you want to download stuff a second faster or load apps/games a second faster, or whatever reason, this phone will be a nice upgrade.

Yeah, I mean the HD2 supports 7 meg HSDPA, but I usually get about 2...The thing that attracts me, is the better camera, and dual core CPU.
I was using an Android flashed HD2 up until I dropped it last week and shattered the screen. I had ordered a new digitizer from fleabay but when it arrived it was damaged so I got impatient and ordered a new Sensation instead. I just got it today and, even though I was more than happy with the HD2 and had no plans to upgrade, I have to say I'm very glad I did. The HD2 was is a very awesome phone but after using the Sensation it now feels like it was v rough around the edges. The Sensation is silky smooth - and that's while we're still running on stock!!
I say upgrade. You'll not regret it.

Thanks for the input. And with TMobile planning to upgrade nationwide network speeds, maybe it's not a bad idea. Part of me still wants to wait to see if I can get the Galaxy S II...
Decisions decisions....
I've gone from HD2 > Sensation. Got the HD2 as soon as it came out.
The Sensation is fantastic...a huge leap from the HD2...obviously much faster/slicker...much nice to look at and hold, screen is so much better than the HD2 it's not funny.
Development will come soon
