Hey Guys,
a friend want my Desire but i don't know if I want it ?
My Desire isn't Original, on it is a Custom Rom and many other things,
so the HD2 wont be original for a long time, i want to make Android on it, it looks really easy, maybe its my experience what it makes very easy.
Now to my Question(s):
Is Android really stable on the HD2?
Can I do the same things like with the desire?
Is the HD2 a good smartphone and is it better or poorer than the desire?
I think the HD2 has much style but it gives many things they are worse...
Help me Please and sorry for my bad english
Trade
my advice keep your desire you will be sorry you traded

Keep your Desire , you're better off
Infused with CM7 Beta 3 by BehradGH in my Galaxy Ace using XDA App
Personally i'd hang onto the Desire. Screen size could be the deciding factor for you though. Do you like 'em small or large?
I think Desire is built better (based on my personal handling experience).
I'm quite rough with my gadgets so I always go for the better build quality.
And not to mention that the Desire is an awesome phone.
Yes, I think die big display is nice, but i think its to big, because I want to work with one hand on my smartphone and not with two.
I keep the desire.
Thanks a lot

Hi guys,
I wanted to buy Desire but just found out about HD2 Android development, I really love the big screen of HD2 so just wondering do you think it will be able to run Android as good as Desire in future?

Don't count on it.
Get the HD2 for it's Winmo 6.5.5 which is better than the overhyped android
It's an OS for serious people, not kids who need fart apps.
It does everything you need in a portable device.
You need to decide why you have such a phone though, Anrdoid may be what you need.

Actually WinMO has no future thanks to Microsoft's stupid policies! I used to have a HD2 just traded it since I wasn't able to find a decent VNC Client on it! Just been dying to see Android on HD2, the videos posted today looks really great, it seems developers are near a great working build!
@Eienkei
Try realvnc! There are a lot of VNC-clients
@Topic
Hd2, because it's LCD is better than the PenTile AMOLED!
Leo all the way!!!
Since Winmo 6.5 is dead walking, HD2 depends on XDA-Developers only! Hope they don't let us down!!!
I previously had an HD2 before I bought my Desire and to be honest with some of the ROMs that you can get from here it was almost on Par with the Desire, the screen is gorgeous and I loved being able to use it in landscape, only thing that was a killer for me was the lack of Spotifiy which I use a lot so Android seemed the way to go, but I'd still consider picking up another HD2 again as a plaything if I saw one cheaply.
I could also choose between the hd2 and desire, I chose the hd2 mainly for the huge screen. A friend of mine chose the desire instead of the hd2 because of the better app store for android. I suggest to simply try them out in a shop. To me xda is just as good as the android app store, so I'm happy with my decision.
If what you want is android, get the desire.

I also think so.
They say Desire HD is on the way, it sports 4.3 inch display! It would be amazing! But still, HD2 is here right away!!!
Heyy everbody,
at the moment i have a htc Pharos, and im looking for an upgrade. Ive seen a few HTC Hero's on ebay for around $450 and that fits into my budget, so i was wondering if Hero's are any good? Also i have Bluetooth activesync setup on my Pharos and it works great with passthrough, but is there a way to set up the same thing on a android. btw i dont have wifi, so thats not really an option.
The hero is a good phone, but its a little out dated. If you want android, get a desire, legend, nexus 1. If you want to stay on winmo, get an HD2, they are only ~$300 on ebay right now

Pretty spot on. Hero is outdated a bit...
Thanks, ive been looking at android phones as they are in my opinion much better than winmo. The legend seems like a good phone for the price but ive heard its a bit outdated, but then again if i buy a HD2 and can i put android on it?

The Legend is the Hero's replacement. I own a Hero, and I can say that it's definitely not a "new" phone for mid-2010. Yes, it's nice, and the development community is active (90% functional Froyo? I'll take it!), but its features have been superseded a million times by high-end Snapdragon+WVGA phones. If you like the Hero, then take a look at the Legend instead - it has slightly (very slightly) better hardware plus a different/better version of Sense UI that includes some widgets and features not found in the Hero's.
Like some others have said, the hardware is outdated and by the end of this year with the 1.5Ghz Snapdragons coming out, the Hero will be long forgotten but still sellers on eBay will try to get $400 for it Personally I like the Hero design but looking at the lifespan, I'd say the Hero should be worth $200 max at this point due to the RAM, CPU, and display limitations.
You can always get an HD2, put android on it, but it will never be like owning a native Android phone. I know, from experience. But, I would suggest the Desire or Nexus One. I personally have a Nexus and LOVE it
Hi guys,
I need to buy a PDA. I have 3 devices in my budget:
X10
HD2
Desire
Which one to go for? I am more leaned towards HD2 with a hope that it runs Android with all functions (including Camera / Good battery life + no issues with Mic for Incoming / Outgoing Calls) & it will also support WinMo7.
Please share your opinions esp. for HD2 vs Desire
sounds to me like you have already made up your mind
hTC Leo: You can have both Android and WM, and perhaps WP7
hm..
But how is your experience with LEO running Android? battery will survive for one day? or less?
Any problems with Calls?
My experience is great
all works almost same as in Android native devices , battery lasts less than in WM but can make it a day.
Not any prob with calls really.
@orb:
Are you using any WinMo ROM on your HD2 or is the default one?
i was going through a Thread where almost majority of the people were not happy with HD2.. may be because of the Stock ROM?
Of course I´m not using stock!
I flashed to a cooked ROM since day 1, have a read on Leo section so you´ll find out what members think of this super device!
Desire, i think thats why better than HD-2, unless your the guy who wants to switch to OS's everyday

I use the latest stock ROM for my HD2 on O2, never had a problem with it.
Also install SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 as I find it a better interface.
What do you actually want to use your phone to do though?
Most people from what I've read run android on their HD2 because it's cheaper than getting a desire HD, they don't really flip between the two.
What sort of user will you be?
Yup want to use it for Android with a hope that WinMo7 will run on it one day

Ok in that case there's no hope for you
Your option is the HD2 as I doubt WP7 will be ported to an android phone.
Have you played with WP7 yet?
I seriously recommend trying it out in a shop if your choice is android and WP7, because if you discover WP7 is not for you, it's better to find out sooner and then just buy an android phone.
I currently have the HD2 which I Love to Bits ! (NAND FTW)
Anyways. Im at the end of my contract and I am due a phone upgrade.
Anyone got a good recommendation on what is new and good ?
Im in the UK also.
Looking at the Desire HD as thats the Android I have on my HD2 now.
Hi,
Man if i had a pound for everytime i answered this question, id have......lots of pounds
Anyhooow, back to business.....
......... really you got to ask yourself some questions about how you will use it, what you want from it as this will effect what OS you want and therefore the device.
Desire HD is a great device as is the Desire Z (foldy out keyboard thing ).
Have you considered going WP7? (HD7 looks awesome!)
All have their own pro's and cons for example, WM7 is pretty locked down atm.
If you like droid (and congrats on getting nand working on ur HD2) and want to stick with it then the Desire HD is prob your best choice.
Worth bearing in mind though, that you whilst you can run droid on your HD2 (along with winmo) you cant run winmo on the DHD
.......btw if you want to get rid of your hd2, lemme know....i could do with two devices as i constantly screwing around with them haha
Cheers.
thanks for the quick reply.
Think I will go with the Desire, as dont really like WinMo.
Ill let you know about the HD2, but I do have a "Cracked screen" one + New Screen/Digi I may sell. I just cant seem to get it working properly.
Hi.
I realy want to upgrade from my Nokia N85 (Yup, good old symbian (from the days it was still good)), So I'm looking for a new smartphone.
What I need in my phone is a good CPU, gaming (no need for best in the market), a good camera and good build quality. Also, I realy like the HTC Sense.
there are a few devices that caught my eyes:
Desire HD
Desire
SE X10
HD2 and flash android (is it fast as native android phones?)
Which should I choose? I need a phone that will be usable for a couple of years (yup, long time). Any other suggestions would be great, only thing, I'm not going to buy samsung (bad experience from the past), and my budget is not unlimited (Desire HD is the highest I would pay, but I might go for it).
thanks in advance
I am choosing between same phones (but not dhd), and i think, i can add one more, Acer Liquid Metal.
Very good price, inside it is desire z, but support isn´t good as HTC. Now I am really don´t know, which one i choose.

Liquid Mt looks nice through hardware, but I realy like the HTC Sense and build quality, plus its not even available in my country (almost no-one imports it).
anybody? I realy need an advice, which phone should I choose?
I'd go with the HTC Desire. Great developer's support and you can get one used for ~$300 USD.
If you want the 4.3' display, it'll cost you around $425-$450.
Is the CPU/GPU on the Desire good enough for a couple of years (will it be good for games in that time?)
and how is the HD2 with android? is it as fast as a native android device?

I run NAND MIUI Android on HD2 and it is very fast. I tried several Android builds and that based on Desire rom are very fast (if you like Sense). These with newer Sense (ex. DHD) are also fast but sometimes there are some glitches. If you don't like Sense there is always CM7 - it's crazy fast
I bought HD2 to have Android but tried also WP7 and I'm very shocked it works so great. I recommend HD2 but the choice is yours.

If you like to choose from a wide range of roms, you should get yourself a G1 (HTC Dream). The phone is cheap nowadays and should be easy to root. I'm running COS-DS gingerbread 2.3.3. rom on my G1 and it works nearly perfect.

Thought of buying this one as a secondary once, for development and trying stuff, but I don't have much spare money. So at least for the near future I'm not going to buy a Dream. And I want a device also for gaming.
i think desire hd is best choise!

Definitely not X10. The X10 series have been lacking in support from Sony (though XDA gives plenty) and it doesn't have very good hardware parts too.
HTC would be a good choice, value for money.

I don't have Desire but my friend does and the performance of HD2 seems to be higher than Desire. But if you don't want to play with WP7 and other OS', I'd consider buying DHD.
I think if you just look calls, text messages and other basic function, you can choose to nokia. If want to play big game, pay attention to the entertainment function should choose android system, DHD is right choice

I'm not a basic user, I use lots of internet, games and stuff, plus many applications.
And as I said from the beggining, I'm probably going for a droid, that's why I asked for advice.
Take the Desire HD, you'll enjoy it, I promise you.
Pesah Sameah, gever.
How is the difference in the battery life between the Desire and the Desire HD?
