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

Why to get a Sensation?

Ok, as a current Desire user I'm getting more and more tempted to switch to a Sensation (and seeing as a lot of Desire devs are jumping ship to other devices).
Anyone care to give me some reasons for making the switch? I've had my trusty Desire for over 18 months but I'm getting itchy fingers to get something new? So...
Why get a Sensation?
Thanks.

I think that's a question for you to answer. Do you see any features in the Sensation that you want that are not available in the Desire?
If yes, are these features important enough for you to decide to switch phones?
If yes, switch. If no, don't.
Sensation is a good phone, but every phone has its quirks and every opinion is relative. Take all biased reviews and suggestions with several grains of salt. Good luck!

Desire has 768mb ram right? Frankly I don't see much benefit in upgrading. The ram makes more of a difference than the dual cores IMHO.

My glacier with the same amount of ram and oc to 1.3 runs faster than my sensation.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

Because it looks great. Really. With a Casemate Tough case (which are fantastic) it feels really sturdy.

I would wait until the nexus comes out before deciding, that way you won't be kick yourself later when u realize u like it better than the Sensation.
The reason I love the Sensation is because of the resolution and speed. And it works the way I want it to.

nope. Desire has 576mb
the newer htc models have 768mb.
I would upgrade, especially as you can get a Sensation XE (newer + better) with a contract for a total of:
£252!
heck of a deal, i'd say

I had the desire before I recently upgraded to the sensation. I've had the sensation for 6 weeks now.
Reasons to upgrade:
Larger screen 4.3 inches
Dual core processor
768mb of ram
1gb of app memory
Sense 3.0 interface
8 megapixel camera with dual led flash
1080p video recording
Noise canceling mic for phone calls
Up to 14.4 Mbps download speeds
Front facing camera for video calls

In my opinion, yes.
My Vibrant always ran slower than my glacier, even when both have identical cm7 setups and oc. Ram was the missing link.
My glacier with oc runs better than sensation without, even though the glacier is only a single core.
Both glacier and sensation have 768mb ram.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

I upgraded to sensation because the physical buttons on my desire started to get loose and weren't responsive. Very happy with it so far, mostly notice the much bigger screen (like a pocket tablet) and sense 3.0. Build quality is very sturdy and design is beautiful/minimal, exactly what I was looking for. I would highly recommend it if you have the cash.

Totally agree but I guess at least it has some sort of front camera.

wait.
my advice is to wait if you can. The Sensation is limited. Its good for now, but with Ice cream sandwich coming soon HTC is going to put the Sensation and the Amaze in its rear view (if you are a T-mo customer). I was going to get the Amaze in march, but what is the point? Even the XE is a gimmick.
You don't want to wait for HTC to hand out the ICS upgrades either. Besides, the industry standard 1 gig RAM is not in the sensation and the internal storage is poor. There will be a phone that is up to par (with ICS) from HTC by April.

HTC One announced!

theres the S, V, and X.
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_x-4320.php for specs
http://bit.ly/Ak6mpz is for the One X coming to AT&T. Dual-Core S4 phone.
http://bit.ly/wcPPQV for One S coming to T-Mobile. Lacks the quad core, the screen resolution.

One V has only 4GB of internal memory without memory card slot! That's bad!

Heres the full specs for HTC ONE X
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_x-4320.php

One S has the same snapdragon s3 has the sensation - sense 4.0 for our sensation will be much easier!
Anyway, from one v video, It's looks like sense 3.6 has the same theme overlay as sense 4.0.

so guys, AT&T gets the Quad Core Tegra-3, while we Tmobile users get the low quality Dual Core.

The One X has a build in battery and memory. Anyone know if this effects development?
Would really hate it when something happens and I just cannot pull the battery out

According to GSMArena, there's the One X which packs the Tegra 3 chipset and there's the One XL, which is the X but with LTE and this one packs the S4 Krait.
Honestly, I'd trade the Tegra 3 for the S4. Dunno why, but I don't think quad-core mobile phones will be as amazing as expected, and an excellent dual-core one would do better.
All in all, when I first saw the picture of the tree new HTCs, my first reaction was: I want the V!) I absolutely love the fact that they continued Hero/Legend's design. I really liked them.

[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.

Yes, Desire S is supposed to get official ICS, but with Sense 3.6, not 4.

Yes, I think it still is. It has been THE high end device by HTC in 2011. With the stock rom it isn't showing it's full potential, when upgraded with a custom JB rom the phone is lightning fast again!

To my opinion Sensation still is a good high end device, and with Sense 4 it can compete with other dual core devices quite equally. (decluding Krait-ones)
Not to even talk about exterior looks! To my opinion it looks a lot more of high-end device than Samsung galaxy s II.
Only thing it truly lacks is a good screen. (like SuperAMOLED)

Hi,
I don't think we can say that the sensation was successful with a big mouth.
The device did ok, but it will not be remembered as a successful device (like the HD2). Actually I think it was the beginning of HTC free fall.
The sensation has very good technical spec on the paper, but it always performed worse than the Galaxy S2. HTC failed to provide updates to take full potential of the hardware.
Anyway, we have XDA DEV to make our devices to work
