HTC Desire or HTC Desire S?
Which one should i buy?Because in our country the HTC desire s is very expensive but i can still if it is worth the money
I like the HTC Desire S but the thing is the "The Death Grip" is a deal breaker for me.
Anyways is this a hardware problem or software problem?
While im worried as well with the HTC Desire's screen not Gorilla Glass is the screen on the desire durable from accidental drops?
Hope somebody can help me with this thanks
I voted for Desire, because:
-Physical buttons&trackpad
-~70€ cheaper
-huge development-section and many rom's
-If you're lucky, AMOLED-screen
Maybe the only thing that is better in Desire S is real multi-touch
I say Desire S
Bigger internal phone storage, 756 ram, HD recording, front camera....

Anyone know if the Sensation battery is interchangeable with any other devices released to date?
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
With HTC usually the batteries are a different size with each device.

Except for the special case of Nexus One = Desire...
Is that the only one where two different HTC devices had the same battery?

And also HTC G2, HTC Desire Z and the HTC Merger use the same battery. I too am also looking for a quality battery (decently priced).
HTC Sensation 4G
Sensation =! Desire (S)
Counterintuitively, Mobilesyrup reports that the tiny Wildfire S has the same battery as the Desire HD in a much smaller phone.
I also believe that the battery in the evo and the touch pro 2 were interchangeable.
I've been wondering this too. The EVO 3D comes with a 1750mAH (or something like that) but its a bit thicker so I wonder if that battery can fit in the Sensation.
I'm going to buy a new HTC phone...I've been thinking of Desire S although it doesn't have sense 3.0 but available with custom roms. Is this a good choice. I thought about Sensation but its outta my budget. Any suggestions( must have a large screen and resolution with good sound quality). Pls suggest a good one.

I've seen deals online in the UK offering sensation on T-mobile at same price that you'll get the desire s for which was £25pm for 24m with no cost for phone.
so look around more, if you want big screen then Sensation might be for you , as desire s is mid sized screen which is why i own one.
I suggest that you go to a shop and decide which one of the two feels right in your hand/pocket.
I cannot stress enough, do not get a sensation. There is an epic problem with dust getting in under the screen. I do not usually take too much notice of things said on forum's as they are usually only a few people moaning about isolated cases, but this is different. I had one from three in the uk, it had dust, sent it back and the second one was worse. Also, sense 3.0 is laggy and unsmooth compared to 2.1, and in general it does not feel any quicker than the desire s. When i sent the second one back i got a desire s instead and it feels a much better product than the sensation. Smoother, better battery life and a nicer size too. Only thing i miss is the screen resolution of the sensation, but it's not that big an issue really 800x480 is hardly cramped!

No! There is an even better deal than that! I got mine from talkmobile for
£15 handset, £25 a month for a 1 year contract!!
I get 300mins, 1000 texts, 1gb data! It is a special tariff and will be expired soon.
I also get £46 quidco cashback and NHS 40% discount.
So for the handset and data plan, im paying just over £200!!!
What a deal!
Great phone, proud owner for about a month now and it functions great.
You do mention a big screen. The desire s is only 3.7" while most phones are 4-4.3". You might want to compare different sizes in a store.

I was looking for my first smartphone nearly 2 months. In terms of size i picked only the motorola defy and the htc desire s as an option. All the other phones are simply too big in my opinion. I´m glad i picked the classy desire s. ;-)
Only down fall to desire s would be slow aosp rom development

If you want a htc phone for development get a htc desire hd. If you don't want a screen that big get the incredible s. If that is still too big get the desire s

Hi Everyone, I am thinking of getting a new battery & remember reading about aftermarket batteries that worked on the G2/Vision but was for a different phone(s), & you had to remove the wrapping.
Can someone remind me of the phone models that have the same shape battery that would work in the G2?
Thanks

This lists the same types, small amount of modification needed but about 40% better than stock

Desire S and EVO design both have HTC OEM batteries that fit perfectly into our device.

That would be Incredible S and Evo Design. Both fit with no trimming needed.
thanks everyone. Now I have an idea of the type of battery to look at
