Hi, im looking to buy a htc phone. and would like some suggestions as to which one?
i have previously owned a htc wildfire which i thought was too slow and not capable to run some games. However, the android software itself was great.
I have heard that the htc desire, is the next upgrade from the wildfire?
Which htc phone would you recommend priced reasonably and has a decent cpu which does not tend to run slow and is capable to run most games and apps?
any suggestions are much appreciated.
Htc evo or thunderbolt if u need a phone right now but if your in no hurry and could wait wait for the htc evo 3d
Hi, ok ill have a look into them phones.
btw, im from the uk and if im right not all the models which are available in the us are for sale in the uk?
that can be done by googling
The htc evo has great awsome dev support which allow us tons of different custom roms and themes. most of the devs that are for the evo are going to the evo 3d so the evo 3d is gonna get a bunch of great devolophers so yeah i recommend evo or evo 3d
the UK phone-market is almost identical to that of Australia. here the best options are probably the Incredible S or just wait a little while and get the market topping Sensation.
Both good phones with enough CPU power to chew through all average apps!
Desire S is great in upper end but Wildfire S is superb for medium range...
okay thanks for the suggestions so far.
ive narrowed it down too 2 phones
the htc desire hd and the desire s.
which one would you say is the better from the 2?
regards.
HTC desire hd

You do gaming. My suggestion bought used HD2 TMOUS with 1024 ROM you can do alot with this dinosaurus. The beast is considered OLD but this is one of Masterpiece of htc released. I hold IncrAPdible S now with (very sad S-ON) upgraded to 2.3.3 by htc via FOTA. But I also hold HD2 wwe version. I loved HD2. I will not buy HTC again unless they confirmed no other locked the boot-loader. I search a lot of web pages no lucks to find how to root my IncrAPdible S.
Go and get HD2, make dual boot then you can play any games you like
have great day

Hi guys
Just wondering what the best Android phone is, in the UK market. I really want it to be good at playing games, playing vids and listening to music. So something really fast and a good screen for multimedia apps. I was looking at Galaxy S and HTC EVO 4G. Are these the best on the market just now?
Cheers guys
Martin
the htc desire hd is the best android phone on the market at the mo
Thanks AndroHero
Has the HTC Desire got the ability to use tilt games, like the iPhone? Like using the phone as a steering wheel when playing driving games
How about the motorola milestone 2?
I'd say it's the Desire HD.
Though the Desire is also a great phone, I prefer it since it has a 3.7" screen compared to a 4.3" of the HD. Though the HD has more RAM and a better GPU.
BTW, the Desire HD is the worldwide version of the Evo 4G though better it seems.
and yep. The phone supports tilt games =)
Thanks guys for your feedback. Is it correct the Desire wont be able to upgrade to Android 3?
I'd say galaxy S. SAMOLED screen is awesome and the samsung hummingbird is faster than snapdragon.
My choice is HTC EVO 4G

He said in the UK.
I have the EVO 4G (U.S. only) too and its awesome for games, so I recommend the international version which is the Desire HD. Not the regular Desire, but with HD in the name.
If you use your phone for mostly personal, then the Desire HD is the way to go. If you use your phone for business, I would recommend the Desire Z (smaller and has a keyboard)

Thanks again guys for your feedback. I think the HTC Desire HD looks amazing, and would love to go down that route. But I am trying to keep my monthly cost to £25 per month. So might have to wait a while for it to come down in price.
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 got 3 option
HTC Desire
HTC Incredible S
Google Nuxes S
i am from pakitan so the price for desire is 42K, Nuxes S for 44K and Incredible S is available for 46K
please suggest me, which cell should i buy.
The incredible S without doubt.
It is larger than the Desire (similar size to Desire HD). The Desire is just "old" compared to the other two and the Nexus S is a Samsung and I don't like Samsung phones (hardware and software, the former you can't do much about).
It depends really. Is this your first android phone?
One thing you might take for granted for example is that it will display Arabic characters but it doesn't. It is the top problem on Google's issue tracker at the moment but I have no idea of when they'll fix it. It is possible to get browsers such as opera that can display the characters correctly though.
On another point the Nexus S is a pure Android phone and as such is quite bare compared to HTCs. I have one myself but I did miss the selection of widgets that HTCs come with by default such as the mobile network on / off one. The last time that I looked none of the ones in the market worked on gingerbread.
If you're a new user I'd probably suggest the Incredible and perhaps something in the Nexus line for your next phone after that
thanks baz & jmm
yes this is my first android phone but i don't need Arabic support coz i can use set in english. so u guys suggesting me HTC Incredible S....
Absolutely, no question, HTC Incredible S.
Incredible S!
well HTC now is one of most popular brand, i think same like the others,HTC Incredible S

I would buy the Nexus S in a heartbeat, It would be the best of them. It is Google's version of the iPhone in quality and superior hardware. Those others don't really compare to it. The Nexus S is the only one with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). The other two are still on 2.1 or 2.2. And the Nexus S is the only one to have a genuine gyro.
@MartyLK
thanks for reply
dude if u r just talking about OS then incridable S is also getting Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) in June so no big deal for me to use 2-3 months old os there is difference of FM radio, camera and sound ......
and incredible S also getting Sense UI 3.0 with Gingerbread
I would buy Incerdible S absolutly
thanks guys.....
i just unboxed my Incredible S.....
Incredible S for sure !!!!!!!!
Why the incredible s but not the desire s?? They are very similiar!! The community is too small for the DS...

My vote goes to Nexus S.
thanks all
I would suggest the HTC Incredible just because the name is incredible!
Get a little more cash and buy the samsung galaxy s2.
best phone for the next half year and pretty save investment for the future!

I find it to be the most overrated phone out there.
Good, maybe great, but nothing amazing.
+1 for the Incredible S
I love HTC and I'm a big fan of Sense as well (assuming that you root the phone and run sense 3.0 or a 2.1/3.0 mix)
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...
now i have a HTC HD2 but i think about an update so i cant decide which phone i should buy
which would you buy : 1. HTC Sensation
2. HTC EVO 3D
3. HTC DESIRE S
4. Nexus S
?
HTC Sensation!
The EVO 3D is bulky, the 3D is a work-in-progress, and it's a tad ugly.
The Desire S is single-core, less powerful, no Sense 3.0, lesser camera.
The Nexus is soon to be replaced, vanilla Android, and lacking Sense.
The only gripe about the Sensation is battery life. A cheap Anker battery (which fits inside existing case) easily sorts that out.

This was not one of your choices but...none of them. As a former HD2 user, I like the new slimmer 4.3 version of the Sensation but i love/miss how the slightly wider hd2 fit in my hand. There are a lot of little things too, but i am not posting to bash the Sensation. HTC is having a show on the 20th to announce new phones. If you can hold out, wait two more months. Your selection and specs will be much better. just my .02.
Im getting a sensation monday as my replacment for my pos g2x looking forward to it

Hi, I'm also coming from HD2, and I gatta tell you.. nothing now and the near future can compare to the HD2, that said, the Sensation its the best choice, I thought about the Evo 3D but when I looked at it and its "3D" pictures... made my eyes and head go crazy and hurts! (for me and my wife) that was a no go for both of us, after reading here about the Sensation and all, we got 2 of them, however the speed of the phone sucked a$$... now I have MIUI and it gives me about 435 MB of RAM FREE!!!! (stock) that is FAST!!!
I'm gonna kind of echo Tech-N9ne here. I often miss my HD2(and I still use it sometimes) just because of the in-hand feel & big screen(despite the 4.3" screen on the sensation, it's still clearly smaller than the HD2's) but the Sensation is the best choice of the three you listed. The 3d camera on the evo is really just a gimmick, can you say migraine? Lol... the Sensation has a much better camera & once you slap a custom rom on it it really flies. It's a great little phone. It all depends on what's most important to you in a phone though & what service is best in your area.
That said, I AM thinking about selling it in a couple months & putting the money toward either a Hercules or a Samsung Galaxy Note when it comes out. I like my Sensation, but I am an unapologetic screen-size whore. The bigger the better xD
my opinion is the sensation the best one... i have it
buy Sensation
i hope you enjoy your new Sensation best choise you made
