that's good new!

has the desire been rooted by now? otherwise that would be a real dealbreaker for me... i'd keep my hero at least until the desire is rooted.

Desire Z Chat!

Woot! Desire Z FTW
I want one. I want one now. I hate contracts, I am gonna have to wait another year and a half before I can get a new phone. That or I save up some...

meh, hate sliders because unless you take super care of them they get wobbly and on my nerves ...
wow, this is so damn amazing! got to get one. Hope, o2 in Germany will offer it on a good price
Oh hey svetius!
You thinking 'bout buying it?
Anyhow. I'm buying it.
I just hope some of the awesome stuff like HTC Fast Boot can be ported back to the "old" Desire.
This will be my next phone, I am sure of it. I will not buy it instantly, but by Christmas I have to own it. I have to.
Ooh, ooh ! I love my TP2's hardware keyboard, but the Desire Z looks like just what I'm waiting for !
Hmm. Did anyone else think it looked like it lagged in the video compared to the Desire HD?
I love the idea of the keyboard for emulators and taking full advantage of the screen size, but I've had my iPhone for 31months so I can deal with not having keyboard.
Unfortunately, it's a 3G and I'm unbelievably sick of lag.
Otherwise, I LOVE THIS PHONE.
The Desire Z looks awesome ! It's going to be my next phone. The only thing that sucks is that it doesn't have a dedicated number row other than that it's great
They should have made the keyboard like the Touch Pro 2

14 months until I get one...
screw it, I'm gonna get one anyway, screw my G2 touch. Now the only issue is £40 a month...
hmmm, puzzling.
Speeddevil
A little speedtest on Youtube:
Battle of the Speed Demons: T-Mobile G2 versus Epic 4G
It shows the difference between 1000mhz and 800 mhz.
I can't post the direct link. I'm a newbie.
Edit: Here you go ~TheRomMistress
I'm going to have it as soon as it comes available in Italy, already love it!
I just ordered on online. Should be here tomorrow!

a G2 or a Desire Z?
The only reason I'm picking this phone over the HTC HD2 is because of the keyboard. I have to say, T-mobile has some really ugly phones but this is one of the best ones. I also love it's UI, it sp gosh dang fast!! w00t!!!

mlove the keyboard love the fact it does what it says it is gonna.

High number of people selling their SGS for a DHD;)

This totally does not suprise me, and the guys keeping there SGS really are in total denial...
This beast will rock, I think the worlds leading smartphone has arrived... I love the leaked benchmark scores as well, twice as fast as a froyo N1!!! Imagine CM6.1 on this beast, this phone absolutly FTW))
jd
The time is nearly upon us JD. I remember you saying a few months ago you were so looking forward to it.
Bring it on !!!

+1 on JD and FTW for HTC Desire HD and Sense UI.
I think the Desire Z is the better of the two phones (which is why I have it pre-ordered rather than the HD).

Cheers Darren,
I sold my Nexus 1 month ago and i cant wait for this beastly phone mate... I was at the launch and it was fabulous))
I also tried the Z, it looks amazing but there was a problem with the optical trackpad, it wasnt at all responsive, and the HD very much stole the evening..
I cant wait until we get devvin' with this beast, and get CM on it ASAP
JD
CyanogenMod...!!

There was a rumour about him getting a Desire HD, but don't really think it's verified.

Now HOW can we get in contact with CM!?
cm have website with forum, so we cas ask there, but we should wait, all the last htc phone have vision of cm, so we can guess that the desire hd will not be so different.
btw: same hare, nexus one - sold DHD - in
When the desire HD is rooted someone will port CM to the Desire HD, As its a HTC phone it should be fairly easy in comparison to other devices such as Galaxy S.
We will just need ROOT and prefrably HTC to realese the kernel scource firly soon after realease.

I's not, though. Sure, it's a better choice for you if you want the physical keyboard, but that's really the only thing that's "better". Specs-wise the DHD is a better piece of hardware.

tried both and the Z is pretty, but the HD is the new Flagship Android phone,
and thats a FACT!

@RoadHazard
For people like me Desire HD is the only option.
Thing is, i can't deal with physical keyboards anymore.
Using Swype onscreen keyboard is 10 times faster.
I've gotten so used to it, nowadays i prefer onscreen keyboards.
You can buy SlideIt on androidmarket and see for yourself. (an alternative)

well done for selling your SGS. I think you made the right choice, i pretty much sold mine as soon as I heard HDH was due for October launch.
JD take a chill pill pal get a sense of humor get it!

Riz what you have to understand is that there are guys who use there phone just for calling purposes, and there are guys who develop and utilise there phone to the maximum... I sold my Nexus a few months back and im eager to start devvin again Android is a way of life for a lot of people on here, so you do what you do, and we do what we do))
SGS is dead in the water now this beast is soon to drop... I played with a SGS last week and other than the pretty screen, its pretty average, maybe below average;(
JD
Really ?? I'm interested how you came to the conclusion the SGS is "average" ?
Sure the phone has some minor "hiccups" that I'm sure will be worked out once the Froyo final drops.

HTC no longer locking bootloaders!

This probably won't benefit us Legend users, but good news for the future!

Fantastic! my next phone will be in 9 months or so, hopefully one of the quad core's and unlocked bootloader!!! Huzzah! Can't Bloody wait, my Legend will then become my ICE system.

Thank you all

The day before yesterday my DHD's touchscreen went all dead on me.
Since warranty was allready over en probably void too I was forced to get a new phone.
I was in doubt off what new phone to get but HTC kinda grew on me. So, I'm moving over to Sensation(XE) threads.
allready running Virtuous ICS on it now so tings are going very well
Just wanted to thank the DHD community for giving me a great time. I've learned a lot from all of ya and had loads of fun.
See you on the other side
U bought an HTC Sensation XE?
The other side would he a htc one x or one s lolz

It's a bit early to say but I do like the screen and it;s resolution.also batterylife is a lot better and of course its a lot faster than DHD.
I must say it's a lot more comfortable to hold in your hand then DHD. A bit smaller so it fits better in an average hand
Don't buy it for the headset though, it kinda sucks to be honest. the cord is too short, earplugs are too heavy and sound is nothing special about.
Glad I got http://www.hi-stands.eu/shop/index....n=article&group_id=10000245&aid=12308&lang=NL a while ago, pretty sweet sound
Well it's sad to see you go. Our loss is the Sensation's gain.
Hopefully our paths should cross again

[Q] Subsequent phone for HD2

Hi,
I like my HD2. It´s a nice phone and the best are the many Devs. But now it´s time for me for a new phone with more power.
Is there some phone that is or will be as popular as the HD2 among the Devs?
Thx.
Benno
Sorry this doesn't really answer your question but I bought a new phone. The HTC Mytouch 4g slide. Dual-core, 8MP camera, its really a great phone BUT you know what? I've hardly used it. I can't seem to let go of this phone because its such a great phone. The development on the phone i bought is bad too.
For your best bet I would look at a phone your interested in and then go to that thread here on XDA. Look to see if there are any good developers working on it and how many threads/posts they have. The more the better i would think.
Wait bro are you getting rid of your HD2 then?!?!?!
I just got a HD2 which is fully broken, motherboard is melted D:
If you are willing to donate your HD2... lol.
Anyway, let me know my bday is April 7!

Check out HTC One X's thread. A lot of devs there and a beast of a phone.
It came out officially today.

You really do troll these forums looking for free phones, don't you.
I thought you said your birthday was two weeks ago, like the thread in the off topic section that got deleted.
Quit asking for free stuff by telling everyone "it's your birthday", no one gives a crap when some random person on the internet is having a "birthday"

With regards to a new phone, go for the quad core one X, or the Sony xperia s. Two brilliant phones!

Great choice, I hear there's some buzz in the one x forums. How's the device turned out for you anyway? Does the quad core really make that much of a difference in speed? A huge difference from the hd2?

hey man, if u're willing to.... can i buy ur HD2...? as i'm looking for one...
