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

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 am planning to buy one of those phones listed above. Please help me decide. I dont know what to buy. I love Samsung google nexus S but ive seen so manyy nega feedbacks about it. what are the pros and cons of HTC desire HD and Samsung Google Nexus S. Please help me guys. About the software, is there any issue on google nexus S? and is google nexus S gonna get every update on android? and how about desire HD?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
CHEERS!
For me the Nexus S is the more desirable of the two because it is stock Android. I just don't see the need for Sense bloatware...but that's just me

yes but the desire is very easy to root and S-off so you can get it to stock pretty easily using a rom like cyanogen 7
my friend has a nexus S and i still like my DHD better even if it is from a purely aesthetic point of view, performance is pretty much the same @ stock but i think the nexus responds to overclocking better than the DHD thats if you actually plan on overclocking.
The HTC Desire HD has HTC Sense HD.... its great!
And you have SOFF and Root so you can put plan Android on it.
U can do this at the Nexus S too but i think the Desire HD is the better Phone! Just because of Sense and its look
thats a touph decision, they are both great phones.
buy them both.
I cant afford to buy them both.. im still a 16 yr old student andd i have two phones. i am planning to sell them and buy nexus S. andd have another with a black and white screen :|
Im thinking rly hard for these, i like the design of Nexus S and its pure android. i can get each and every update that will be released on the next months. i also like DHD but its design is a no no for me.typical rectangular shaped phone and im also worried about its updates because DHD might not get future updates.
Naaah, im really confused.
Thanks for your replies sir *salutes*
EDIT: and also ive heard that the battery of the HTC desire HD sucks. what should i do? help please. thanks!
Nexus S = no sd card
Is it true that the Nexus S has no SD Card slot? That would be the deal breaker for me to not get that phone.
Get a Hd2, the most customizable phone going, you can then use a desire or froyo or gingerbread rom, or even wp7 if you fancy it.

If I could choose between Nexus S, DHD and HD2, i would definately take the HD2! Hardware of the DHD and HD2 are nearly the same and it costs only half of the DHD. You can choose out of many OS's and the Android-feeling on the HD2 is native.
If you want a short answer:
There is no big difference between these phones, only the price matters.
First I wasn't sure if I should by the DHD or HD2 and I took the latter. A used HD2 but in very good condition for 180€ is a fair price. And DHD for 450€ is too expensive for me as a 17y old student ;D
I want to buy a smartphone and I have narrowed it down to those to devices. Which one of the two would you suggest?

Depends on what you looking for. I find both really cool. The desire is big, and the defy is small. htc sense is way better than motorollas overlay. The desire screen is simply better in terms of clarity and color. gsmarena.com is a good site to help you decide, it does nice comparisons. check it out.
Desire : strong community, hundreds of custom ROMs, easier to root, Sense.
Defy : water+dust resistant, Blur.
Yours to decide.
BTW: I have a Desire not a Defy.
Android was born from the union of Google and HTC
I have a Desire, but also Desire HD it's beautiful.
HTC with Android forever !
HTC with Windows Phone anymore !
DEFY is a good choice.
last year i want to buy defy, i like its water and dust resistant. but my friend suggest me desire. and finally, i buy HTC, the screen look better than defy. PS: what i buy is desire s, but i know desire is good, 'coz the friend i just said use it.
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...
I just wanted to thank all of this forum's great people and dev's.
This is one of the most friendly forums I've ever visited.
I bought a white Sony Xperia S (not to be confused with the Arc S) and therefore will not be visiting this forum anymore.
My Desire S was great, but I had poor build quality and the wifi deathgrip was simply too annoying for me (I use the phone in landscape 60% of the time).
The one thing I'll miss most will most certainly be Sense, but Sony's interface is nice as well .
So thank you all once more!

good luck.
Take a look at the one series...was Lucky enough as HTC guys visited our office with The almighty one x , one s and one v.....the best looking phone was one s....he scratched the phone up and down back and front with a coin....nothing...no cover or case required....when u hold the phone in hand it feels its made out of one piece..cam was superb...just thinking to buy the one s....one x is out of budget....anyway all the best and glad I got the opportunity to meet the one series....

I know they're awesome, but the problem is they don't have a screen that fits my needs.
You see, the One X has 1280x720, but 4.7" is simply too huge.
The One S however, has the perfect size of 4.3", but only 540x960
My new Xperia S has a 4.3" screen with 1280x720, giving it a whopping 342ppi.
That was simply my main reason of purchase, since I watch a lot of movies and animé on my phone.
I think htc is much better than any brand that produce android phone.
Might their hardware is better, but at last their android is just android with som new icon. All of them is these changes.
But in htc you see the complete system with sense & widget
For example at last, many android phone have accuweather app, but just htc have beautifull widget and in sense 3.5 with beautifull movie , ...
All over, i like htc any way
