Hello everyone,
Right now I own an HD2, and I am very happy with it.
But my contract expires soon, so I will be able to choose a new phone. But the thing is due to some changes my provider made I thought I would be able to choose a phone in late august. Turns out I could object to the cnages and now I can get my new phone in june.
But now I don't have time to do as much research as I normally would. So that is where I need your advice. What phone would be a worthy succesor for my HD2?
I use my phone mainly for entertainment so for me important things are:
Large internal memory
Good sound quality
Large screen (preferably 4.3 inch)
Speed
Android
Also important is the ability to flash ROM's but when I pick a phone that is already able to flash a custom ROM, it is probably a slightly older phone. But when I pick a very new phone I would just have to hope that it will become popular on XDa and flashing will become an option.
So advice and opinions please!
P.S it even makes me a little sad to get a new phone... I had an Xperia X1 before my HD2, but I had an HD2 based ROM on it so I have been on this forum for a few years now and I've grown attached to it. Kinda pathetic huh?
Oh I have mistakenly put this in the General forum instead of the HD2 General forum. So mods if you find this, please move my thread
I believe HTC Sensation will satify your requirements.

Hello Guys,
I have coming to this forum for a while and have always been thankful for the help and advice and for making my old MDA work the way is was meant to ;-).
Alas, the thing dies and I wanted to get something new so I bought this thing on eBay;
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=290268552198
They call it the hTY Touch Flo or Hantel Q5and it is pre-loaded with WM6. It says it has built in GPS and a few other goodies but the iGo software just hangs the phone and does not fit the screen width and I have no way of changing it. It is also lacking some of the previous great features that I had especially with mfrazz's cooked rom.
I've scanned the forums and tried to search for this phone without much luck and was wondering if it might be similar enough to one of the phones on this forum to piggy back off of.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it very much. Thanks in advance.
I couldn´t find anything on this device, it seems a copy of HTC
Its actually quite cool and so far so good but, I need the little extras that were always available here.
Hello there, I'm planning to replace my HTC Universal after great 3 years of working! and I'm still pleased with it to be honest!
My new PPC should has a keyboard, so my question is simple! is the HTC Raphael the good choice to go with?
I know there is the SE X1 as another choice, but I think I liked the HTC more
What do you think?
so guyz...no replys at all?
I really like my Raphael and as far as i worked with it, i had no problems and would recommend it.
There are (of course) some bugs, but they can be fixed with progs out of this forum. So if u are not afraid of spending some time in setting up ur raphael this could be ur new favourite.
The keyboard is pretty good (for my opinion), the buttons are small, but i don't have a problem hitting the right one, even though i got thicker fingers.
If u have some specific questions just ask, i'll see if i can answer.
hi there
having used the universal and then using a hermes as a day-to-day device and now the raphael i can only say that im glad i bought one!
the size of the device is simply astonishing for what has been crammed into it
what do you primarily use your device for?
the universal is a well seasoned device with much support and it appears the raphael is heading that way too!
Thanx guyz,
No problem at all with spending time fixing bugz cause really I like these stuff and I enjoy searching and fixing...that's what kept me from replacing my Universal
good to hear that about the keyboard, cause I really need it and I think by time I should be used to it...
yup, the size is a great thing compared to the huge universal for sure I'm now a medical resident...so I will use it to have some books around me all the time beside its internet & phone cababilities...
there is nothin specific now in my mind to ask, but I got a positive impression in general and I think I'm gonna buy it soon
I'll get back to you!
The question of all time with the wonderment as to whom might answer. With all the phones on the Market subservient the one we wait for;
What is The Phone we are waiting for, the one we want & need?
True there are many out there to do what ever you want but all are limited in their own ways, Carriers included.
So the Grand question is does anyone yet know how to put in words an answer to this reply?
Thank You.
The HTC Leo/HD2 with both WM and Android on it. This is the phone .
I'm sure you can tell this is the phone I've waited for (if it gets here) but all get upgrades (#2) what will this Leo become -Next-?
Don't get me wrong I've waited & wanted this phone for a LONG TIME.
Thanks for repling.
I've got no idea how the Leo could be made any better, at least not now.
Of course, even faster processors, even higher resolution for the camera and tinier chips for an even thinner phone will be developed in the future, but the Leo pretty much delivers everything that's possible at the moment.
How much I agree with you. But do you think it will get here?
Here You go, someone else may be listening, 'The Dragon' by HTC. This may be the answer we're searching for. Found this at Engadget but XDA already knows this.
If u don't need a keyboard, then the LEO is it (for now)! See it's active thread for further info...
Leo+hardware kb would pretty much be king for me... Until then, the TP2 the company pays for will cover me.
Believe me I've been following the Leo throughout so many areas that if the Virtual is sufficient (as well as I type) then something new in that regard is worth chasing, true hands on will tell. Yet what other phone is equal to the Leo with A KB? Not many I would think. How about you?
@godefroi, I too am used to kb & touch but I require a wi/fi & a large screen, questioning your reply do you think there is a phone on the horizon with these articles together (w/a screen as large as the Leo & its operating system)? This would detour me away from the Leo. (when it gets here).

Oh yea, Translate it w/google.
I've been looking for a new phone for the past month, and today I have to make my decision.
For those of you who have a Samsung Propel Pro, or have used it for a while, I've got a few questions for you guys.
How is it?
Is it easy to put apps and other things on it?
How do you connect it to the computer?
Any annoying bugs on it?
Im not really a business man since i'm still in high school, should I still go with this phone? I've looked at other phones and they're either cheap looking or touch screen, which I don't really like since its sort of hard to text and can be sort of laggish at times..
Welcome to forums
We are an HTC devices only forum, so my recommendation is:
Go for an HTC device!!
I would go with an HTC PureT, and thats like the only HTC phone there is for AT&, but its a little bit over my budget :\ Could you PM me a WinMo based forum?
winmodevs.com
In fact a lot of non HTC users members are on that site
have a look on marketplace section
you can get sometimes a real good deal!
If you like to flash roms & customize, then go with HTC & XDA
There arent as many people there as there are over here lol.
So I'm pretty new to this Smartphone thingie, actually I come from a Nokia 5800. Says quite alot dosent it?
I've been looking every single test I could get my hands on the last few days, and at best, it only confused me more.
I've been having a really really hard time deciding what my first real venture into Smartphones should be. I'm not a software geek nor a software newbie, so I like to fiddle around with stuff to make it suit me the best.
What I'm looking for in a phone:
Big screen
Good colors
Easy to text
Good camera
Easy to browse on
These phones are the ones I'm currently interested in:
Samsung Galaxy S
Samsung Nexus S
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
HTC Desire
HTC Desire S
As I said, a big screen means alot to me. Its just a jungle out there, and its really really hard to choose a new phone now.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this sort of question, but I havent been able to find a topic for it. If something like that exists, then please point me in the right direction.
On the other hand, maybe I should wait for the Samsung Galaxy 2
