HTC Desire or something newer's coming out?

Hi guys!I am the proud owner of a Touch Diamond and a Hero and an avid fan of HTC devices for almost 3 years now.As I am thinking of buying a new phone with Android (now that I have gothered some money ) I want to ask this.I like the Desire ALOT,but don't want to go through the same as with the Hero.When I bought the Hero on December,I saw much better devices coming out shortly,like the Nexus One,the Desire and the Legend and felt that my money could have bought me something by far better.So now should I buy the Desire or should I wait?Are there any plans for newer phones by HTC with better specs,like 1,5GHz processor,better screen etc?We all know that HTC gives newer phones more often than it gives newer software after all!
Thanks!

Yes, im also waiting for the HTC Vision - till now I just heard that its basicly a "HTC Desire" with a slide/hard keyboard - and perhaps a better Cam - but hard to say when it's coming cause there are just rumors about this device.
Well anyway if u like the desire and android - I'd say: get it - as there are always new devices coming out... You cant win the race.
I'm just waiting cause I hope for the hardware keyboard.
Had a wizzard once and miss it a bit since im on blackstone.
cheers

Well,such a device could have brightened my day if I lived in the US!
Unfortunately however I live in Europe,Greece to be more specific.Now,in the middle of the crisis I want to buy a 500-600 euros phone!
Anyway,I think that I will go with the Desire for now...But if there is anything coming to Europe like a european version of the Evo then yes,I will be happy!

The future of my samsung galaxy s (is it bright?)

Hi I have just brought a Samsung galaxy s which I really like but I have a 14 day return period and I am having some doubts.
Gingerbread has recently been announced and I am thinking that it is unlikely that the galaxy s will get an update what do you guys think?
When I had WM (touch pro 2) I could upgrade roms whenever a new device came out, I'm guessing this is more likely to happen with android on a htc device?
I suppose my question would be this, is there any devices which are being released within about a month which will be as good as my galaxy s but likely to last with good updates etc.
Sorry about my vauge questions I just dont wanna spend all this money on a phone to find support gets pulled at the first moment.

I don't think you should worry.
I haven't heard of any phones that will be confirmed to have 3.0 (Gingerbread) other then the obvious nexus one.
You will be able to download any custom rom that is written for Gingerbread. You don't really need the official update, do you? I know it is nice, but it shouldn't affect your decision of a phone.
Plus, from what I hear, the Galaxy S is pretty sweet.

samsung chairman has directed the mobile phone division to focus on the galaxy series so I wouldn't worry so much.

Honestly I don't think Gingerbread is aimed at phones at all. I think it's for netbooks and pads really.

Ok thanks guys, that's what I wanted to hear. I'll be keeping the SGS then

[Q] Desire-Z, Gratia or Android 3.0?

hi everyone,
i was looking for a new phone since April 2010 and now I'm about to finally buy a phone.
I'm considering of three different options: buy HTC Desire-Z, wait for HTC Gratia or to wait until HTC releases a phone on Android 2.3.
On the one hand I'm looking for a good cellphone that will serve me for at leat three years and won't break because of program bug or problem (that doesn't depend on how I used the phone) in the physical item itself.
On the other hand I'm bored of waiting and i want it "Here And Now".
Please give me some advice what should i buy.
PS. I've been reading these forums for a long time, it's my first post here because I was only reading, i was kinda "Passive Client".
Thanks from ahead...!

Welcome to forums
If you can wait, wait
If not go for Desire Z and later you will be able to port it with Gingerbread 2.3 (not 3.0)

Thanks for your advice, I'll consider it.

Do you need a keyboard? Desire Z is a good option.
Otherwise, wait! Processor refresh is coming around February and it's going to be a serious leap

well, i dont need a keyboard just i heard that there are lots of trouble with the win7 and the other android phones

Lost my HTC HD2---what phone should I get?

I recently lost my HD2. I love this phone to death, I was among the 1st one tried out hyperdroib-v12, it was the best rom so far....Wondering what phone should I get this time. Here are some candidates:
Tmobile-G2x
HTC-HD7
Mytouch4G slide
or another HD2 ?
hoping for honest opinions here, pro and con? ...future stable tweak. I personally enjoy fast response, longer battery life, GPS, and user friendly..not so much of a theme, UI guys.
Thanks

i noticed you are a big HTC fan
so i'll suggest HTC Amaze, also called HTC Ruby
it's basically the old HTC Sensation upgraded

nice..thanks, looked it up ...HTC amaze is not being offered from Tmobile at the moment.

Based on what you're looking for, stability, fast response, battery life, GPS, and user experience it'd be wrong to suggest anything but WP7. You can't tweak it much but that's because it doesn't need to be tweaked to exceed android and even iOS in those categories.

wait for the nexus prime ;-)

Hi, I was in a similar situation to you a few weeks back...I replaced a broken HD2 with a new HD7 through Asurion (they were no longer offering the HD2 as a replacement :-( ), and after a few weeks of missing running Android, I bought another HD2 off of ebay for about $170. Now I have the HD2 as my primary phone running WP7 off NAND and Android off SD, and I have the HD7 to play with on the side while we wait for DFT to create an Android hack for that phone as well. The HD7 development is getting close, but it's not quite as far along as I'd like before I'll make the HD7 my primary phone--for me, the HD2 is still the king. I'd get another one of those, if I were you...

Id get the g2x

I have been using WP7 for a few months now and is one of the best phones i've ever had, i recommend you the HD7 you're not going to regret it!!

If you like installing Custom Roms ,Kernels etc. Than get the Nexus S
Or really wait for the Nexus Prime!
The Nexus S is a TOP Smartphone which is also very cheap!

I would wait for Nexus Prime.

What's the vibe so far with One X?

I've had some bad experiences with my last 3 HTC devices. Something I was really displeased about HTC is that they'll tout some of their devices as the greatest device ever and then stop supporting it within 3-4 months. This has happened with a phone I bought for myself, a phone I bought for my sister and the HTC Flyer.
My dad currently is looking for a new phone and he's had his eyes set on the HTC One X. I'm little bit hesitant because of HTC's behavior with keeping their device updated.
What is the say of the community on this phone? Mostly, people with negative experiences are the ones who are vocal about it so the good and complimenting threads get burred.
Are you guys waiting for Jelly Bean? How are you guys feeling about HTC with their work/support on this device? Has HTC been proactive in fixing whatever might be problematic?
Thank you, community!

Personally, between you and me, I'm telling my dad to get a Galaxy S3.
Having said that, I love my phone and would never trade it for a gs3.
I think HTC does a little better designing their phones hardware than other companies. Their software updates seem to take 3 months to happen and this latest update fixed most people's complaints about the software.
Having said that, Samsung has much more support overall. The whole ecosystem really. From finding cases in physical stores to finding other people who actually own the same phone as you.

Update-wise, HTC seems like they do get the updates out, but they sure do take their time...
If your dad wants something more user friendly and functional, Touchwiz is probably better than Sense, even if it looks much less refined. Samsung also is pretty good about source release, so if those things matter, go with the GS3. If he's willing to deal with the issues that the One X may have, it will be a great phone.

Well, the question is, is your dad the kind of person who will actually care about getting updates? The most recent OTA from AT&T is 2.20, which is also coming stock on most phones now, and from what I understand, it's already pretty smooth and most of the bugs in previous versions have been squashed.
A Jelly Bean update has been guaranteed for the One X at some point, but will your dad care if it ever comes? Or does he just want a phone that works out of the box?
Personally, I love my One X and I'd be happy run AOKP or even a Sense-based ROM on it for 2 years. It's smooth and fast, has a great camera (even with AOKP), good battery life, and awesome build quality. Jelly Bean will be nice when it comes, but I'm not desperate for it - especially now that I'm running AOKP and have an ICS-compatible version of Google Now that (mostly) works.
That said, do I wish we had the dev support of the S3? Sure, but the One X has a much more limited audience, so it's just not going to happen.

Good vibes miian good vibes
