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

Hi,
after feeling totally ripped off by Xperia x10, now I am thinking of getting another top Android (no not getting Iphone 4). So the HTC desire Z is new and have a different processor and has a better built (I mean not cheap plastic body) and also a keyboard. Whereas the Captivate has SAMOLED and 1Ghz processor.
Really can't make up mind
Absolutely Desire Z!!
Desire Z straight up
Yeah without question - Desire Z.
SWYPED from my SUPASONIC
Why though?

Samsung Captivate !
Desire Z because Sense is probably one the best things you can get on an Android. I work for a phone store and I tried out the Galaxy S (which has the same or a similar OS to what the Captivate will use?). Also, SenseHD is AWESOME.. (with its custom skins/themes etc.) and it is definitely something you want to have on an Android since it adds so damn much.
Although, the 800mhz CPU seems to be a pretty big bummer and the battery is only 1300mAh which is rated at 6hrs by HTC so it should last like 5ish hours...
I have the Vibrant and the Desire Z and even in the first day of using my Desire Z I want to sell off my Vibrant already. It beats it by a mile and then some.
Buying a new phone just had some questions?
1. i need a fast phone without any lagging or freezing.
will an 800 mhz processor differ much from a 1ghz one
2. i preffer a qwerty keyboard but if another phone is better it's ok i'll learn to use a virtual one
which phone is better:
Samsung I9000 Galaxy S
HTC Desire
HTC Desire Z
T-mobile my touch (the new one)
Motorola Defy
Motorola Droid Pro ( although i needed a big screen )
please state why this phone ?
i'm confused please help
i appreciate any replies
Welcome to the forums
There is no such thing as "The best"
What is best for me may not be for you!!
Said that...My PERSONAL best of your list is Desire Z, because it´s HTC build and has a real keyboard
You said right!
if you want a H/W keyboard get a desire z, but imo you should get the desire, its faster than the galaxy s and the modding community is already established, it may take months n months before it gets going with the desire z, and ppl get used to the hardware

And you know it is faster how? My Samsung Vibrant beats my cousins Desire Z by a long shot with Bionix ROM.. There is a modding community for the Galaxy S phones also, Desire Z isnt the only one

ive got friends with the galaxy s, the lag on that device is shocking, having to wait 2-3 seconds to get into a threaded sms and the gps is probably the worst i have ever seen on a smartphone .......
Desire will be my choice
Agreed! If someone needs a phone that is rock solid and fast, desire line is great. If you think you would ever need a keyboard, the Desire Z is the best on the market.

Only issue I had with the Galaxy line was the cheap plastic feel of the device. It was the eventual deal breaker and that's why I moved to the Desire Z

why is the desire HD not an option?
The desire hd is an amazing phone. I am definitely going to get one when the are available in New Zealand. Hopefully that will be very soon.
I will still need to keep my Nexus One around for a while at least because there is no hacking scene for the desire hd. Actually there may never be one until someone figures out how to bypass the root protection.

Hi guys, I want to buy a phone, now am wandering about the incredible s and desire s
which one do you think is better?
Desire S choosen
Hi,
I had the same situation, finaly I've bought the Desire S and I'm happy with it. It is a litte big smaler then the Incredible but exept the camera as far as I know everything is the same.
The Desire S for me personaly looks much more noble then the Incrdible S and is fitting in every pocket.
I've had the HD2 before with WIN6.5 and Andoird (Desire HD Rom) for mails/Inet etc. and an additional smaler phone to make calls. Now after everything will be set up I'll be only the Desire S.
Cheers
Mike

It comes down to two things, how big a phone do you want to carry around in your pocket? and which one feels best in your hands....
I'd suggest you go to a shop and try out both dummies....whichever feels best should leave in your pocket (and I don't mean nick the dummy!).
I personally like a smaller size, The D HD is way too big IMHO (I've come from HTC Diamond2 which was also 3.7" screen)
The phones are very similar spec wise, I rarely use a camera...so mega pixels don't matter to me!
They both have the same signed problems when it comes to custom ROMS and root.
Good luck.
Thank u. it will be my first android, in considering ur words, i think maybe the desire s will suit me.
Desire s fits perfectly in hands..i'll choose desire s as a replacement for my hero
Sent from my HTC Hero using Tapatalk
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...
Hi Guys,

One V does not have a front camera or a removable battery.
In a couple of days, the desire s will be running the same software as the one v.
The only thing going for the one v is probably the better screen.
Otherwise, the ds is still better in so far as hardware is concerned.
What... You never want to use video chat or face unlock...???!!!

Agree with enigmaamit, but also few more details:
HTC One V ---------Desire S
Screen ppi 252 PPI vs 251 PPI
Sharp display of text, images and video
Screen type TFT LCD vs Super-LCD
The Desire S's screen is fantastic, while the One V's is pretty average
RAM 512 MB vs 768 MB
The Desire S has a lot of RAM for running apps, but the One V is average.
One V, if you are not into rooting your phone.
It is new and has a higher probability of seeing the next major upgrade.
Desire S while being a good phone, the display is not as good as one v
Desire S is slcd while one v uses slcd 2, hence the display sharpness and much better image quality
While you will get sense 4A on desire S shortly, it purely boils down to what you like more.
Better display or a bit more ram, front camera or no front camera, root it or not to rrot it...
Your call
For your budget also suggest to check Xperia u
Sent from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3 sources. WAKE UP HTC!!!!
I have to agree with suku. However, personally I would go with the desire s just for the geekiness of the roms we have and the fantastic devs.

HTC Desire is Good!
Thanks you so much for ur advice/suggestions guys.. I am in to rooting more..Is there a noticeable difference in screens between two of them. I really like customized phone so want more custom roms.. as i have Samsung galaxy s2, Moto Razr, Two sensations, defy, milestone.. and all of them are rooted with custom roms.. but this one i want to gift to my yonger bro and thats y i m confused..Thanks again..
It´s your choice
Hi guys,
i have a desire S, it´s a very good phone with a big and great community (there are very much custom roms) but the one V has some interesting specs i think, only the RAM (512 one V - 768 desire S) and the front cam is better at our lovely desire S but:
- Bluetooth® 4.0
- Bigger internal space 4GB -> Desire S only 1GB
- Better akku 1500mAh -> Desire S 1450mAh i think it doesn´t matter
- Screen is even better
so it´s your choice great community, front cam and more RAM or bluetooth 4, better screen, more internal space and android 4 with Sense 4 directly from HTC
Edit: you are right it's only sense 4 light...

One V doesn't have Sense 4, it has a lite version of sense, which is pretty boring, no leap view, no home screen editing (there's only 5 and you can't even move them). Also it's 2D just like Sense 2.1, the widgets are less than Desire S, and lock screen, is horrible, it only shows weather in the morning. But Desire S will get (probably, I hope it will) Sense 4 full in the future.
Swiped with HTC Trace on Desire S using Endymion 3.5 with HTC Sense 3.5
I also have an iPad 2 iOS5.1.1, Jailbroken.
Regarding internal space - with about 80 apps installed I still have above 500mb left, so imho that's not an issue at all. I wouldn't trade off front cam for extra 3gb of space. Keep in mind, that heavy apps (like games) usually can be moved to sd card.

Get the Desire S!
Maybe as a non-user of Desire S, i could give a more just suggestion.
The HTC One V, though newer and have a more updated software, its specs are not as good as the Desire S. But the upcoming sense 3.6 update for the Desire S would probably be the last update for this line, while for One V, more updates are sure to come. But, if you root and all, Desire S is the way to go.

The only way it is inferior is the lack of the FFC, and smaller RAM. But other than that, the One V is superior

I suggest that DS is better.
The most of One V advances are low-weight and maybe the screen (very subjective).
Also I don't thik that HTC will make major upadates for it. Yesterday I installed ICS CyanogenMod9 on my DS and it seems to be perfect

Nope, the screen on the One V is definitely better. The camera is better too. The branding is better. The support from HTC is better. The design is nicer (this one is subjective, and my opinion)
