Personally I would choose Desire.

thanks, i see the only diff.is fm radio and more ram on the desire everything else is exactly the same .but does any one know if tmobile usa is getting it or i have to spend a couple of hundred bucks to get one over seas...or just get nexus.....? what do you think..

The desire: is sexier, has better RAM, is thinner without compromising the screen size, have tactile buttons that makes you certain that you pressed a function key, and have an optical track-pad.
Keep in mind that if you have sticky hands due to sticky food, beverages, work, and etc, than you shouldn't get the Nexus 1. Once those things are in your trackball, you literally can't get them out. And once they are in, than the trackball will stop working, just like every other BlackBerry with those trackballs.
Basically, the Desire is better than the Nexus 1.
If you are buying a Desire in regards to Nexus 1 as a contender, than get the Desire.
If you have a Nexus 1 and a decided to buy a Desire, than you are making a huge mistake because you aren't getting enough improvements through this upgrade.
There you have it! The word upgrade should answer everything.

thanks ,i knew it desire was better,tmobile just told me that if i get desire it wouldn't work here in los angeles ,so guess i have to stick with nexus,and i will save 250 buck too, oh well may be in a couple of month i give this one to my chick and i get a better one lol

I don't think there is a desire available with t-mobile's 3g bands while there is a nexus with them, so you might want to consider that.

I personally like the look of the N1 better, but that is completely subjective. Whether you think sense UI is worth it is completely subjective too. Same with the capacitive buttons.
The only thing that objectively makes the desire better is the FM radio, and a bit more ram (which will be required by sense anyway).
The nexus one has a noise cancelling speaker for when you are on calls, and i don't know if the desire is rootable yet.
According to the site linked, the nexus one is slightly thinner.
Also i used 2 blackberrys over 2 years and only had trackball problems on the older model, which was second hand anyway. The trackball is the primary navigation tool on the BB, it is only secondary, or thirdary on the N1, so i don't believe it to be an issue.

yeah your right is not going to be the primary just like bb, well thanks to all you guys for all the advise..peace

Its a matter or personal preference I'm afraid...the specs bewteen the devices or almost identical. I'm getting the HTC Desire (hopefully within the next week), but again this is just my own personal preference as I think its better

I now have the Desire - and I'm not regretting my choice. SenseUI is good, and the speed of the phone (when compared to an outgoing Hero) is immense. I've also owned an iPhone in the past, and I can honestly say that this phone trumps the Apple effort (except in Apps).
I would recommend the phone to anyone - but once someone sees it, they don't need recommendations.

Warm Screen Colors?

I have seen countless praise of the SLCD screen of the One X, but I just got mine and noticed that although screen looks nice, its a bit warm in colors making it look yellowish. Same thing with the display models I looked at in the store. Are all One X screens like this? Not really complaining, just curious

There is a warmer and cooler version of the LCD. All I can say is that my One X has the most accurate colors of any mobile device I have ever owned.

There seem to be at least three panel suppliers.
Warm tones often abate after a few hours of run time.
A recent firmware update reduced warmness greatly in the One X forum (international).
Some people seem to like the warmer ones and some people seem to like the cooler. I saw both side by side in the store today and prefer the cooler one because it makes text sharper. The warmer one is suggested to give better contrast, blacks and more accurate colors. The cooler one (Acer) seems to show gridlines according to the other forum.

My understanding is there are two different companies who are making the screens sharp and I believe the other is acer one is warmer and the other is cooler. I've looked at two stores and they both looked like mine kinda yellow (warm) especially near the bottom of the screen. Some people I have showed it to said they didn't see anything while others could see it. It really shows the most when in the settings menu. The colors over all are spectacular. So I figured I would get used to it and since both my local stores looked the same as mine I figured it would be difficult to get them to exchange in hopes of getting one with the cooler screen.

Anandtech had a Sony panel which might be exclusive to the XL.

The color accuracy is certainly better than my Note. It may not have the deep black levels, but that's all it lacks. And the blacks are still great.
I also haven't ran into any color banding or crushed blacks

I have seen both the tones
This is my third replacement. First one had flicker issue but the display was cooler (serial number began with HT23). Second one was warm display Serial number began with HT24. I exclusively requested the O2 shop guy to find HT24 (did a bit of reading before I went to shop) but that had charging issue...loll
The third one which I am using now is again HT23 from same stock but not a cooler display in fact warmer. I think there is no proper way to find out what display is what unless you open a brand new unit.
But certainly like all you have said, the tone is warmer on some devices (i prefer the cooler). If the brightness is turned to full it does take the warmness away but that is certainly not an option since it will drain the battery big style.

I don't think anyone in the U.S. or Canada's reported anything other than the Sony panel. I saw one in an AT&T story and I described it as dingy, maybe that's what people are referring to as warm. It could just be variations between different Sony panels. No one can produce millions of 312PPI small screens and have them all be identical.

Also on my third one...first one had a screen that went from warm to cool...it was really whacked out and especially noticeable when comparing to store unit. second had light bleed and a scratched/dead pixel under the glass (was hard to see but combined with light bleed at the bottom really ticked me off)...3rd one is great. screen is a bit warm but looks fantastic..and no other issues. I am surprised to hear to many issues with the screens on these phones.

Nice! Looks like the glue or something had to dry up, because im noticing the warmness wearing off and screen is starting to look better and better in my eyes. No banding nor light leaks. Looks like im one of the lucky ones

Mine is definitely warm, but its because I'm comparing it to my Sensation which is definitely on the cooler side. Here's a few side-by-side comparisons (taken with iPad3):

HTC One E8 - First impressions: Premium device disguised as a mid-tier phone

I've had the HTC One E8 for just over a week now and I am thoroughly impressed. The device has a premium display and chip-set at a mid-grade price. The curved edges of the poly-carbonate (plastic) back plate makes this device easy to hold without losing its visual appeal. On the back you will also find a 13 MP camera with a single tone flash. The face of the phone contains a 5 MP Selfie camera, 5” HD display, and two front facing speakers. The “Boomsound” front facing speakers can push out a great deal of sound without losing any sound quality.

Another amazing feature of this phone is Sprint Spark. If you have not had a chance to try out Spark you might be blown away by the data speeds you will see. This was my first time trying out Spark and I could not believe how much faster it is then my cable internet speeds. Check out Spark availability in your area.

How is the phone after a few weeks of usage?
How is the battery life?
What is the Android version on it? Did it get 4.4.3?

The battery life is pretty good and typically lasts me the entire day. Also good to know that I am always playing with it so you might get way better battery life then I do. The US Sprint version comes pre-loaded with Android 4.4.2.

I have had my phone for a few days, and I have to say that I am impressed with the quality of this device for the price I paid.
Sound/speed is much better than my old Galaxy S3.
Multitasking is a snap, and I kind of like the HTC Sense UI.
Thinking of rooting this device, have you had the chance to root yet?

Many of us in India have rooted it, you can find the threads in the dev section and Q&A's also.
Running smooth, and yes , a great phone overall...
cheers.

Thanks for the feedback. Haven't really given rooting much thought.

Compare GS4 to Nexus 5?

I am on sprint and have a galaxy s4. I am happy enough with it.
I want the ability to leave sprint and be off contract with either att or tmobile.
I am worried about what I reading with battery life on the Nexus 5.
Can anyone comment on their experience with both he 4 and the 5? Pros/cons etc.

One thing I can tell you from my experiences is that N5 battery is way better than S4. S4 is a powerful device but battery was one of my reason to stay away from it.

My N5 blows my S3 away non battery life.

I had a s4 and i was disappointed with the battery life, the galaxy series never exceeded my expectations especially when they inside touchwiz it reminded me when i had the s2 and the complaints people had,
With amoled displays its ment to be more efficient but it drained so fast when in use, so i swapped for a n5 and even though the battery is smaller i don't need to charge it twice a day.
The n5 is a nice solid device to hold,no bugs to mention, just nice smooth vanilla android
My s4 could not connect to camera often, wakelock bug,reboot required, standby drain,no knox security or deterrents for unlocking boot loader.
Bugs varied from device you may not experienced these.

Thanks for the response.
I was going to get the 6, but that is just too big for me. 5 will be a keeper for a while and it can be used on Sprint ATT and TMobile.

Battery!!!

If you only listen to music, use social media and make calls, the battery will last a day. Now, if you start playing games and watching videos all the time on youtube the nexus 5 you will run out of power at the end of the day. I'm very pleased with my battery life, and with Android Lollipop promising better performance, you can't go wrong getting a nexus.

Funny, when I owned a s4, the best part of the device was the stellar battery life. My only gripe with it was the amoled screen (looked fake to me).

Battery didn't improve much from the S3 before it. AMOLED needs a lot of juice to get the brightness level usable though that has been somewhat resolved in the latest generation panels found only in the S5 and Note4. Hopefully the Nexus 6 was able to procure them and not stuck with last year's tech as the Moto X 2014 was forced to do.

The Nexus 5 blows away the S4 in everything. I set it to ART and it is much faster.
Spark on Sprint is 22mb down.
Very happy I made the switch. What a great phone this 5 is, kicking myself for not getting it a year ago.

I also have the V20 KT version. Using it on AT&T but it keeps saying HD Voice Roaming unavailable. And stays on 3G until it keeps trying for HD Voice and fails.
How do I DISABLE?? I am looking everywhere in QuickShortCutMaker, but can't find it.
HELP!

Why am I getting the impression the pink one isn't popular, thats the one I have ordered.

Hi, where did you order your V20 ?
I'm looking to get one myself, and as I'm in France the one I'd need is either the F800(*/K/S/L), either the H990DS, or the H990N: other ones either lack the 900 and 2100MHz bands for 3G, either the 800MHz band for 4G.
I saw your post, you seem quite satisfied with the F800K. Where can I find an online store to order it, that can ship it to France ?
Also what was its price is it usualy, and what kind of warranty/security does it have if ordered this way ? (Like the V10 it wont be sold in Europe and I dont want to miss on a second phone like that, especialy since the V series seems to be the G series everyone wanted lol).
Finaly does it come with korean language pre-set or can you select yours directly ?
Thanks
