I know u ppl got tired of this question , but since I'm ordering new phone these days , I dunno which one to choose.
My vote will go to HD2 , since I heard there will be Android on it aswell (that was my main reason why I even thought about Desire).
I hope you kind ppl can help me solve my "problem"
Cheers,
Alex
Just get a Desire, the HD2 will never run Android as stable day-to-day as phone a designed to run the OS.

Like I thought so, thanks for your reply.
EDIT : Also , other replies are welcome too
depends on what you need most, big screen or android.
Both , but Android on 1st place.
The Desire HD or HTC Ace is due in October basicly a HTC EVO for GSM, it may be worth waiting till that comes out before you buy...
Personally, I will jump to Android when this phone arrives, I'm done (after many years) with WM ...
Thanks for reply , I just can't wait 'till October , but thanks anyway.

if android is your top priority, why is this even a debate???
There has not been one instance of Android as a primary OS on any WinMo phone to date. And that is after, what, 2 years of trying.
Don't let the aesthetics of the HD2 fool you. If your main concern is the OS, then go ahead and get the Desire. No question about it. Android will never be running 100% on the HD2 and if you're not accustom to winmo in general (which mean countless head-scratching as you're trying to make it work), you're screwed.
Then I guess imma buy Desire.
Thanks for feedback.
Actually I'm using desire ROM on hd2, working fine, they made Android really batter in a few days.. think of the advantage of a dual boot

Hmmm , does it have any glitches / bugs w.e ?
Cuz I don't want my phone to freeze or something , and its brand new.
You bet it does. I am an ex-owner of an HD2 and I swear to God that if the guys from the service center will give me a new HD2, I`ll say "no, thanks... what about a desire?" without having any second thoughts.
Personally, I`m done with the HD2. Full of bugs/freezes/etc, and I might say that I`m not quite the average apple fanboy who wants everything to work out-of-the-box. I love tweaking and hacking, but only to an extent.

my girfriend has the htc desire. in my opinion it has only 2 advantages over my hd2: better screen sensitivity and a brighter/more colorful screen (which i find not very natural anyway...).
the hd2 can run android now, it has a larger screen (with more natural colors) and i'm not willing to give up on wm just yet. android is very finger friendly, tons of apps and a more "secure" future ahead but i got bored with it very quickly.
so to make things short, i recommend to go with the hd2 or wait for something else...
oh, forgot to mention - your experience with the hd2 is highly dependent to the rom/radio/location "trinity". i am very happy with mine
I really wanna say: get the HD2.
An Android ROM should be made available in another month or two and with all the development behind the HD2 (on XDA of course!), it might even run Android better than the Desire some day. And who knows, the HD2 might be ported to WP 7 some time next year.
How about them apples?

I serverly doubt there will be a flashable ROM for the HD2, read here, Zarathustrax has a good knowledge of Android ports.

I haven't a clue my friend, Zarathustrax is the man to ask.
I think you should get the HD2. What can the Desire do that that the HD2 can't? And that massive screen dweebs out any other phone on the market. Plus the HD2 is cheaper than the Desire.
If HD2 will get a Stable and fast Android rom.....go to HD2....you will have two SO on a big, big screen.
but just if will have android stable...in contrary....
Hi guys,
I might buy a HD2 and I want to do everything that a current DHD or DesireZ can do. So keeping this in mind what are things that I shouldnt expect from HD2 ?
Does it delivers every thing that a nexus one /desire/DZ/DHD deliver ?
I wanted to buy DHD... But its not available in US. Its quite expensive also. And no other options for 4.3 Inch screen
Thanks, Help me decide whether or not to buy this phone as an altenative for desire Z/Desire HD

I don't quite understand what you're asking. You're asking for help with a decision, but from what I'm reading, there is only one option?
To answer your more obvious question, I believe development for DHD/DHZ has stagnated, and the only thing it's missing is the camera. Not sure when/if devs will finish that. The Evo, desire, and nexus builds are pretty much 100% done though
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
If you're in the US, why don't you buy an Evo? I'm sure the new Sense will be ported to it (if it hasn't been already).
If you want the ability to switch between Windows Mobile and different Android builds, get the HD2.
If you want a native Android phone with similar (not the same though, before the pedants flame me) hardware to the HD2 get the Desire.
If you want a more up dated similar Android phone get the Desire HD.
If you want a hardware keyboard get the Z.
Thats pretty much it sport
Thanks
Coming to a conclusion that this phone is not a pure native android phone
Its better I w8 for Nexus S or go with DHD
As a TMOUS user I would just get the Desire HD if it was my first phone and I had the upgrade option. But I didnt, so I wanted the next best thing, a phone I could convert into a Desire HD, which was the HD2. I found one new in the box on craigs list for $250 and shelled out. Studied up on modding it and made it look like the Desire HD.
I'm also a TMOUS user and found one of craigslist for under 200. Until they come out with a new 4.3 android phone, this will be it for me. I don't get the data drops and the only issue I come across is the 10 second lag in autorotate with the touchscreen. I'll take that. If the Desire HD (or comparable) ever comes to the US that's what I will move to
Looks like camera fix is available on Desire HD builds now....
what you shouldn't expect a droid hd2...prefection.some builds are still WIP or some bugs not resolved.
then we have the nand camp who wants droid on their fone,wiping out winmo completely.this is still WIP.and still some impt issues not resolved.
other than that,hd2 is pretty impressive even with stock winmo.not that much of a diff between dhd other than a updated hardware.
if you like cutomising the hell out of ur fone but lack the money,go for hd2.you get spoilt to booting winmo cooked rom or droid builds available in the forums.

I dont know how you don't know that? It's a windows mobile 6.5 phone. How can a windows phone be a pure native android phone? If you are looking for a phone that can do exactly what a DHD or a Desire Z, you would have to get one of those phones as no other phone currently runs the new htc sense. The closest phone to a DHD or a Desire Z in US is an EVO 4G.
I want Android Phone, for the first moment, I think I would buy Desire, but after search alot on XDA, then I got Confuse, cos HD2 Is very good to handle Android.... I want purely using Android on HD2 (Windows doesn't count).
Should I buy HD2 or Desire? what pros and cons each of them?
please help me to choose....
sorry for my english
Well seeing that you posted this in the android section your answer is most likely to be an hd2 but this has noting to do with question and answers snout android on the hd2

I have Nexus One and HD2. I love them both
HD2 with android is real fast, faster then my nexus (your HD2 can have 1900 point on quadrant standard- my nexus only have 1650)
The digitizer on HD2 is easy to break (a lot people have screen response problems)
The battery on nexus one is last longer (U don't worry to run out battery in mid afternoon)
If they both cost the same for you, then you might as well get the Desire HD. The only reason people put android on the HD2 is because it was the only 4.3" superphone on Tmobile's network, and it was crippled with Windows OS.
If you only plan on running android, I would get a native android phone.

its better to run android nativly. get the desire,
if you want a HD2 running android, get a Desire HD,
HD-2 is only cool because we can customize the SHYT out of it. Flash a new rom every day if you like. With the Desire HD you will most likely be stuck with the same ole same ole and that may get OLD to you after a few months. So you have to decide if you like doing what most of us do wich is Flash the He11 out of our phone.
First of all we dont 'flash' anything by putting and android rom on out sd card. Secondly the desire hd can be rooted soon, and there will be tons of stuff 4 it! Youre askin this question in the wrong forum. Why? Coz we all have leos! The answer is simple: if u want native droid, get the desire!
I like the developement, so im sticking with my LEO!

hd2 on desire hd rom will be realy sweet.
and to answer your question,like someone said earlier,hd2 has one of the most impressive hardware during that time when it was released and it was crippled by winmo.
not that winmo is bad or anything,its jus that winmo target mainly business users and not for entertainment.(etc ifone)
so you get a powerful fone with crappy software making it a test to you as a human when using this device.
if you got $$$ to burn,buy desire hd.its android and the fone is build for it.
you wan to tinker with your fone,buy hd2,tinker away and bliss out on your sofa.
take a look at the forums and read the android development,Q&A for hd2.you can get all the answers to whatever questions you might have to ask.
Ok I know it's been a lot of threads on this subject already but none of them is tellin ==g me what i wanna know because the threads are so old and the hd2 as come a long way with being able to run Androi and WinM7. Now I have had an HD2 in the past when android was the only os being worked on and wasnt fully working. But now reading that Android is pretty much working fully on it and WinM7 can be ran on it almost perfect also. I mean as far as specs and things. I have an Samsung Vibrant right now, I love this phone and I also loved the HD2 when i had it I would also wanna try to give the WinM7 a try but don't wanna buy a new phone just to play with a new OS. Thanks for the help.
if cotulla pick samsung vibrant I would pick samsung vibrant tooo
so my answer is HD2

HD2 is way better than most phones. It's robust, proven and moreover it can run almost all Mobile OS as well as Ubuntu. If you are just one of the regular customers who doesn't like to tinker with the phone any phone is good but if you are into tinkering HD2 all the way.
Yes i like to mess around with my phone and play with different OS's and before when I had the Hd2 i loved it because of the screen size and and a few other things. I love the Vibrant also but i would also wanna play around with the WinM7 software. I mean if I already own the Vibrant would it really be worth it to trade or sell it to get a HD2. Whats the trade off if I get the HD2 other than that the HD2 can pretty much run any OS. Would I be down grading as far as specs and memory.

Downgrading no absolutly no hd2 has a 1ghz snapdragon and the vibrant has a 1ghz humming bird processor about the same a large portion of android phones carry the snapdragon processor and imo the hd2 was ahead of its time when it was released cause it still keeps up with all the in coming phones even the droid well sorta ja ja ja (still an hd2 can be over clocked up to 1.5 ghz) so i would definetly go with hd2 seeing as you like to tinker and you can run android as well with little to no flaws atleast not on the build i have
ok thnks i think im oing to make the move.
Just curious what people have to say about this statement...
yes it is , think about it you have 3 phones in one (for now (wm,wp7,android))
wm 500 euro+-
wp7 500 euro+-
android 500 euro+-
In my opinion its the best device but the most people think the phone is "crap" because it is almost 2 years old... and that's wrong! My HD2 is better than DHD and the other ones
Yep, superram froyo still remains one of the fastest roms out there, even faster than nand to me. In fact, it is even faster than my old nexus one and on par with a Vibrant on Darky's 9.3!
Long Live the HD2
I got my own prayer mat - arab worship "Allah"
I worship my HD2 - feel guilty tho' as i'm only praying, praising and thanking my HD2 50 times a day - it deserves more!!
will try to improve error of my ways ;-)
matt
its the best.
It has everything even 720P video recording on windows phone 7 ^^ I mean what more do you really expect of a 2 year old phone
I don't want to jinx it now but I really would not have a single clue what phone would replace my HD2 (running Gingerbread MDJ 2.6) if it went bad!!
love it!

I consider it one of the best phones on the market. Especially considering it's age. The amount of internal memory on the american HD2's is off the chain.
HD2 > Girlfriend
Overall yes i would say so. Reasons being you can get it relatively cheap, it has great/modern hardware, able to boot 4 OSes, meaning it can probably suit everyone's needs, stable/smooth/fast.
However the best device in terms of performance? That's hard to say. In android? It's obviously beaten by other 1ghz android devices. WP7? People are saying it beats even the HD7, but are they comparing it to a HD7 with tweaks also or just stock? Ubuntu it obviously can't compare to a real computer. Winmo it is the best.
But as said, its still the best device overall, atleast in my perspective.
I was eagerly waiting for the 2011 WMC to see what new phones were headed our way this year. I was thouroughly dissapointed to be fair. If I had to get a new phone right now, I would get the best phone currently on the market today which is.. an HD2!
You're damn right !
The more I become familiar with my Leo the more I'm proud of having bought it instead of any common Ifone..
Yeah its still a top device.People are still asking what phone is that or is that the new one,its still a looker,nice and smart,ok its not as nice as HD7 in looks but it can still perform just aswell,This was htcs answer to the Toshiba TG01 and relesed it back in nov 2009 at £499,most people have forgoten the TG01 now,had a look on handtec.co.uk ,Desire HD £369.59 HD7 £371.99 HD2 £367.19 just goes to show,this phone is still holding its value well,its still more expensive new than a desire,all these came out after HD2,you got huge backing on here.it boots several OSs,you cant really ask any more from a phone,its still an amazing phone,never known a device like it and i look a desire hd or an incredible S and i think,my phone can do that,just as good.The HD2,its deffinently a real iPhone killer
i had mine for almost a year now )
tried WM6.5 stock and cooked, android & WP7 a while back
now running imilika`s ginger-sense 2.1 ( very lovely BTW )
the point is, everytime i flash a new OS or a different rom, i feel like having a new device, every OS has its features and feel
its the best device ever
yes yes no 1 ......best phone for now i am using android and love zynge poker live............
What if you ask this question on a Steve's worshipers forum ?
