HTC Desire HD?

Hi ya'll.
Just wondering, has anybody heard anything more about the rumored HTC Desire HD? I've read a lot of blog posts about it, and an apparent video leak about it.
Is it true, or am I getting my hopes up too soon?
Hell I want it though if it's true.

Yeah the apparent leaks of the device look good, hopefully HTC's London Event on 15th September will confirm our hopes otherwise I've wasted my username on nothing hehe

Haha ^^^^
I hope it's true and that it comes with Gingerbread and a 1.5Ghz< proscesor because for a brand new phone 1GHz is not enough (it is but i want more ) when they are about to release 2GHz Phones

I would love to see a better gpu and higher res screen than 1.5ghz

But if you don't see 1,5GHz you won't see a higher res screen either!The 1GHz variant doesn't support more than WVGA.

We can but dream
1GHz with Froyo is enough for me.

1GHz with froyo smells like a Desire,not a Desire HD.

I would really like to replace my Htc Hero. In my opinion the step up from hero to desire is too small. From Hero to Desire HD is better if the specs are true.

How is the move from hero to desire small? It's a jump from 528mhz to 1ghz and plus the more RAM and Rom

[Q] Should I get a Desire S?

I broke my Desire Z recently and I am thinking of getting a used phone for around 250 SGD, the HTC desire s caught my eye, I love my old desire z, but the low ram keeps bothering me, Since the desire s is just a desire z without the keyboard and has more ram, I'm thinking of getting it. I am now deciding between the desire HD and the desire s, I like the desire s screen better since it is slcd. But I've heard that the desire s has emmc chip problems, is it very common?

eMMC chip problems are far from common, and are present in the same quantity around all the HTC line based on MSM8x55 and having 2GB of internal memory - which covers DHD, MT4G, DS, and of course your previous DZ/G2, which has exactly the same eMMCs.
If you can get it cheap - it's a great phone.

Is this phone getting official ics?
How smooth is the phone when running a custom rom like affinity? Is it as smooth as the real sensation xl? Cuz they have the same hardware, just that sensation xl clocks a little higher

I personally dont recommend it. Its nothing I can complain about the phone. Its fast like hell, Im proud of owning it, seriously. I recommended it when ppl asked me about a phone. But seeing what is about to come, if I were you I would wait a bit, raise some money so I could affront the endless quantity I would to spend in the HTC One X.
But I repeat: Its my point of view (In fact, is what Im going to do), the rest is up to you

I agree with Rostwildch here, as much as I love my Desire S you have the One X and the One S coming soon, the last one a little more cheap.
Performance wise they'll be above the Desire S a bit.
Good shopping!

I agree with everyone too.
The Desire S is a fantastic phone. But in my opinion, its more or less the same as the Z, not much of an upgrade.
If you can wait, get the One series.. they will be epic!
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

But I have no money for a new phone, I'm getting a used desire s

It's something you have to decide for yourself, like olyloh6696 said it's not that much of an upgrade.
Even if you're not buying it new it might be quite some money being spent.. personally I'd wait, but that's my view on things. You have to have yours.

Yes, it is. HTC posted it on their Facebook-Site.
About the ROM: I normaly run CM7 Nighlies und since yesterday CM9 Alpha on ICS.
without any problems.
If I compare CM7 to the Original ROM it is much better and smoother than sense.

"A little" is by factor of 1.5 - not "little" by any standard. Sensation XL also has CPU with 2 cores, and of a little better kind. Calling Desire S "the same hardware" is far from truth - Sensation XL is ~2.5 times more powerful.

Sorry, but you're wrong. The sensation XL has the same CPU as the Desire S but it it factory clocked to 1.5GHz. It is essentially the same phone, which is why we have many ROMs, such as Endymion, based on the Sensation XL.

I can just OC it to 1.5 ghz and the desire s will be same phone as Sensation xl. How much free ram is there when running sense 3.5 roms?

desire s
desire s is good choice for me.....
its ram is even more than htc V one......

Yes, Desire S is supposed to get official ICS, but with Sense 3.6, not 4.
Not even 4 lite, like in the Primo S ROMs...

What's the sensation xl getting? Sense 3.6 or 4.0? Cuz if its 4.0, the devs can grab the sensation xl based rom and port it over to this device and it should run smoothly

Sensation and XE already got a sense 3.6 with android 4.0.3.Sense 4.0 might be ported later, if HTC decide to port it.

[Q] New desire s (memory app)

Hello! i am thinking to change my htc legend by a desire s, due the screen resolution and the memory dedicated to applications... my question is if a any user had problems to have few memory for applications, or if the space is enough to get all the applications you want without worrying about memory

Definitely, 1.1GB is plenty. Also the speed on the Desire S is much faster too
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

Get a One V man, you will feel more at home
Better screen than Desire S, better camera, ICS out of the box and bound to get more updates

For myself i would look out for a newer device, which may gets further updates!
I love my DesireS! And i will stay on it for a longer time (hopefully it will not get broken) The performance is great, there will be an update to ICS!
But that it will be. It won't even get newest Sense!

True, by the Desire S is cheaper than the One V, so it seems more logical
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

have also thought about the htc one v, because is the direct successor of the legend, however I choose the desire because front camera and its cheaper ... I do not want a large mobile phone, 3.7 is ideal, as the desire s, and I doubt very much that one htc v will receive many updates, due to weak hardware

1g ram & 1.5GHz DuelCore.why not is a favourate combination.

Htc desire s
More ram(768),one v has 512
They have the same cpu and they both are single core phones
768 mb of are useful,so i think you can buy a desire s and wait for a kernel 3.0
Our sense 4 roms are better
This phone already has s-off and a lot of custom roms
A good recovery and you can overclock the phone if you want the same clock of the one v

Nope buddy, you got those stats wrong. Its actually a lower version of the DS, with less ram and no front camera. Plus it's clocked to the same 1 ghz as the ds. The only 1.5 ghz single core device currently marketed by HTC is the sensation xl...

Rumor: HTC Ville C

The HTC Desire C (Golf) was just announced by HTC and T-Mobile in the United Kingdom, and we’ve just been handed this screenshot of another new HTC device, the Ville C. Our source tells us this is basically a cheaper version of the HTC One S. The Ville C is purportedly an “ultra slim” device, though we aren’t sure of its exact measurements. It ships with Android 4.0, and possibly with Sense 4.5 (as seen in the document above). We were expecting Sense 4.0, but it seems that Sense 4.5 is already in the works.
HTC’s Ville C specifications sheet says the device will sport a 4.3-inch qHD AMOLED display, 16GB of internal memory, and 1GB of RAM. The device will also be equipped with the Qualcomm dual-core MSM8260 S3 processor clocked at 1.2GHz. It’s listed at 1.7GHz, but our source informs us this is a typo. Along with a plethora of other mid-range specs, the device will have the same 8-megapixel camera sensor found on the One S. Of course this means it will have 1080p video recording ability. Up front, the Ville C also houses a VGA front-facing camera. On top of all that, the device will have a 1,650 mAh battery. We aren’t sure if it’s removable, but we have a feeling it won’t be.

Looks like Sense 4.5 is on its way.

What am I missing?
Other than the CPU speed, anything else will make it a cheaper version?

How can only a slower CPU make this a budget version of the regular 1s? Maybe this could be a branded version for some carriers

And, the source for this article says the "1.7ghz MSM8260" is a typo, and it is supposed to read 1.2ghz.
On that note, couldn't the typo also mean someone missed the "A", and this is an older description of the One S?

There is a lot of possibilities with Typos... xD
In same time, Sense 3.5 wasn't a version running on the top line of phones at first but on the then last gen single core HTC Rhyme. Today the S3 found in the Sensation and Co can be considered as last gen as well.

Best Games for HTC One X's Snapdragon S4 processor

One is Dual core, the other is Quad.

Well I think that all HTC one X's should be quad core and have the tegra 3 processor since the INTERNATIONAL VERSION of the HTC one X has the quad-core and the tegra3.
Well I don't see the fun in dual-core anymore.
