While reading some of the other posts it seems ppl are so excited to get there phones and are upset about the suposed delays. So for those people who are wanted to do stuff with there HD without having it here are my sugestions :-
-- Making some cool theme ieas in the theme section
-- Dessuss the accesories that look good/bad in thee accessories sections
-- Looking for cool new apps (thats always fun)
-- Pass the time catting to fellow HD owners to be in irc (freenode #DesireHD)
-- Reading this thred you probably spent 10-15 seconds reading this you have now gotten 10-15 seconds closer to getting your phones (yay !)
I do Not recomend
-- Refeshing the Realese date threds every three seconds (which i seem to be doing)
:-D
-- Alternatively, Stop procrastinating on those assignments
-- Email all big tech blogs and beg for their Desire HD reviews!
Buy an iPhone 4
^Wow that is a good one! Nice idea
I think if we have developers around here, maybe rooting could be a good place to start? I mean, we do have the original rom to take apart.

Waiting for DHD
Well guys I am going to buy a desire 2nd hand and then see what the reviews say about the DHD and make a decision then.
After all how much can I lose £50???
I just purchased desire brand new £250.00 already sold to someone for the end of the month pickup.
Now where was I ow yes living
I just got pipped at the post on ebay. I dont mind paying £250 but its difficult finding one at the right price.
Try gumtree that's where I found mine. You could buy mine and I could get another!

The iPhone really sucks. You have to wait for a jailbreak (and that's going to take a while) and you can't tweak the iPhone. Just wait for the HD.

A bit extreme - personally, I will never use a "closed" device again. Android is the light in the Apple Dark.
Well guys I bought myself a second hand Desire this morning and the seller rang me up to confirrm despatch.
The great news is that I can get rid of my iPhone 3GS and have use of a "better" phone for me.
That means that I can be less anxious about the DHD release but will wait for the reviews etc and then decide whether to skip the DHD for the new dual core phones out post xmas and which should run Andriod 3.0
Keeping my pre order with Clove though and hedging my bets
Here is some good naughty stuff to get you started:
http://tinyurl.com/3x2ljt7
Got email from Mobilephonesdirect.com this morning.
We are
expecting to be able to fulfil your order in the next 15 working days which
means your Desire HD should be with you by the end of October.
I pre-ordered this back when delivery date was the 7th.
Looks like none are getting them before the end of this month, ow well at least we know now.

Drool!
Im gonna overclock my touch hd as much as possible... doesnt really matter if it breaks anymore!
Actually, I need to sell it... oops
just thought i'd let you guys know. if you do a youtube search of HTC Desire HD and sort by date to most recent, you'll get a ton of new videos from the last couple of days.

Hey All
Just ordered myself a HD2 off of Ebay. Paid $750aud inc shipping. Finally decided to retire my slow old Xperia X1, will prob just keep using it to test new rom's that come out....
Now I have a few questions. Are they're any special tweaks or cabs to install to make it better? What case's are people mainly using with the HD2? Any general problems or things I should know?
Thanks everyone
I think that is very personal.
I am using cookie tab now and it is very good for what i like about a phone. Just look around this forum and read, try and experience !
It`s very nice to try tweaks especially if they are in a cab. If you don`t like it, just uninstall. If anything is not good the folks here will help you set thing right again.
Its a great forum for a great phone

You will not be disappointed... I was worried about the lack of keyboard when I made the change from the X1 to the HD2 and I can tell you its not a problem... for tweaks a must is BSB Tweaks (found on here in a sticky I think), has loads of tweaks that are very handy... there is also a thread on things to do with your HD2 when you get it... some of them are covered by bsb others not so much all handy... I have not yet had a problem with my HD2 but some do... again there are loads of threads about this problem or that... so far (touches wood as probably just jinxed myself) its been all gravy...
I reckon you should stay with the oem rom for at least a week and research this forum. customising your hd2 is a very personal thing, what suits one will not suit another. there's a thread which people post there must have apps, I would try there first. that's my opinion
It is interesting to see how fast the pricing of the Leo drops from 820AUD at the end of Jan to 750AUD now.
But anyway I recommand you to test your device for few days before doing some flashing or customising to see if there is any hardware issues
If I were you I would install several tweak softwares like BSB and HD2Tweak.
just to cover all the available reg tweaks
Just my tiny bit of advice
The Leo should amaze you lol
Cheers

hi guys, i want to ask~
is AU's telstra version hd2 using exactly the same frequencies with US's T MOBILE versions?
thank you.
im not sure if AU's version can use China's WCDMA frequencies.
Ebay
I just hope you get it. I ordered a phone via ebay before and got burnt along with many others, had a good rep etc. Anyway Ebay are basically useless in terms of assisting to get any $ back.
Other than that you'll love it, its a great phone and very customizable.

Its not true. Paypal buyer protection is very good. They always return my money when they should. And the seller must prove that you got the parcel.
Yer I was planning on staying on the stock rom for a bit....funny I used to flash my xperia to be like a stock HTC phone, so yer the stock rom should keep me happy for a few weeks...
Yer I was a bit skeptical about having only an onscreen keyboard, one of the things I loved about the xperia was the HW keyboard
Cant wait till it arrives, it looks like an amazing phone

I had asked HTC on twitter when the new win7 phones will be coming out since I was interested in the hd2, they told me that the first phones will be for sale in Q4,
Right now i dont know exactly what to do. But ill give it a chance and hope for an update. So ill be getting the HD2 tonight.
I bought an xperia last year in feb and was really dissapointed when there werent any new official panels, thnx to XDA I pimped my phone a little bit. But now when I recieve my new phone tonight, ill give my old Xperia to my mother who needs a new phone

Unfortunately not in my case and with 32 other people. Thats how many people this guy stung. Through letters from all victims, QLD police investigated, and the guy was tracked down and currently behind bars, this was the update from the police however still no money despite chasing for it.

hi guys,
well recently i had been in big dilemma...
My frustrated GF just asked me to choose between my HTC HD2 and Her now thats F***ed up!
I can never live without my htc hd2 which i use quite frequently for email txt msgs (oh yeah go over 300+ per day easily).
Well i'll leave the decision to u guys...
Cheers
[Edit1 = 19 Oct 2010] GOD!!! its getting even complicated than i thought it wud be MANNNNNN!!!
I am not willing to share my HD2 neverrrrrrrrrr so she aint' getting that lol we are still on NO TALKING mode and i love it i get to spend quality time with my HD2 wot u say
ops i meant to post this in HTC HD2 general not android... Mod please move

It's obvious, the HD2
It never argues with you or make you spend money to buy it food and it listens to you.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17ZrK2NryuQ
just something for you to think about =)
If it's about gf,then I absolutely choose HD2
But fortunately she was my ex gf now (she is my wife now ).
...And she gave me a son about 2 months ago
If it's about my family & HD2....I CHOOSE MY WONDERFUL FAMILY
but its a gift from my gfwhat should i do??
HD2 will help you communicate with other women, gf is nothing much, can find plenty of those around for a night, a day, few hours. Till you find the one and only gf to become wife and such, HD2 will help you find your way!
I'm a chick, and even *I* say pick the phone. Your GF sounds incredibly immature & bratty, getting jealous of an inanimate object like that. I'd dump any guy that couldn't handle my HD2 addiction. I'm a phone geek, I've always been one, and I will always be one, and anyone that's gonna be with me has to accept it or else it won't work & there's no point in staying together anyway. I wouldn't give up my favorite hobby for ANYONE, I let people know up front that this is who I am & what I like to do, & if they think they can change me they can go kick rocks. I've never had a problem finding a boyfriend, any guy that tries to make me choose between my favorite hobby & him is easily replaceable.
This isn't so much about choosing a phone over your GF, it's about her trying to control you. That's a HUGE red flag for any relationship. She's trying to make you give up something you like, something completely innocent & harmless, because she has an irrational dislike of it, and that's not healthy. It may just be a phone now, but what will it be in the future? Say you do give it up- I guarantee you'll regret it & you'll start to resent her for it.
I don't get why girls have such huge problems with their men liking technology. There are so many worse things they could be obsessed with. Hell, I WISH I could find a guy with an tech addiction as big as mine. I'd love to have someone I can get excited over ROMs & Android builds with & to just geek out with.

it's a pity.
no doubt my hd2 **** I lose every second with my eyes in it.
Probably recognizable for most of the die hard members here. It's like waiting for someone posting a new rom, you keep bashing F5 to see if something is there yet. Now I have a similar problem. Yesterday I received a message from my provider my contract is renewed and the Arc is on his way to my house as we speak.
I checked out Track&Trace and the parcel indeed has left the transport company this morning. Now I notice I keep looking outside the window every 2 minutes I already have the feeling I am a bit behind, while this phone just hit the market a couple of weeks ago.
Well, not a very constructive post I assume, but I thought I share something useless for a change with you guys. I already saw a few familiar names from people who came of X10, but going through the topics I already noticed lots of new names.
Hopefully some good devs buy this thing as well so we can fool around a lot with this beauty.........hmmm....still no postman here
Cheers,
Arnold
Congratulations on a nice buy and I hope for your sanitys sake the postman arrives soon

Man, waiting can be taking some time. I am out of sigarets (I know, bad habit), but I don't dare to leave the house for 15 minutes, because with my luck the postman will be here in that 15 minutes :lol
Welcome
Arc is one of the best phones out there.
Rooting for a custom rom seems to be quite difficult...
You might have to wait a bit.

i know exactly how u feel. i ordered 2 and had to wait for a month before i cud get my hands on em. i called sony showroom everyday and eventually when it came, they gave me a discount
"all good things to those who wait"
@ arnold:
btw I ordered one for me and one for the mrs. same as you...
Well my wife changed here mind and went to another provider where she gets an ipad2 for free with a 2 year contract for 32euro a month. Really can't understand how they can make money on these kind of offers. I spoke with kpn for a while and in the end I get my arc for free now. In exchange it will be delivered by a very slow postman
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
Mate, you are going to love it when it arrives. It really is a huge step up from the X10.
I played with the X10 a little this morning and it made me realize how much better the arc is. Also, X10 feels like an absolute brick in comparison.
Hope it turns up soon!!!

like hyperx10 said, ull love it. it really is the sexiest gadget i've held in my hand and not bcoz i spent money for it ... really worth the wait. if only devs root it soon.
pollypix: cant wait for you to make awesome wallpapers for arc!
does the arc also has the 960x854 resolution? In that case you can use the 180 wallpapers i posted in the x10 section. Or would it be wise than to copy it to the arc section as well?
480x854 screen, so those wallpapers will work.

I got mine today too...
I was scared to go to the toilet because it is at the far end of the house and I wouldn't hear the doorman. It didn't help that I had to wait until 3pm for him to arrive
But it was all worth it am loving the phone so far...
If you think that's bad, how about actually having the box in the house but having to prevent yourself from opening it because you have work that needs to be done? xD
I got mine with Three UK, their "All-you-can-eat data" (real unlimited data usage with no fair use policy, tethering supported and advertised) for £40/mo with nothing to pay up front.
According to their store manager it's also unbranded and not SIM locked so when SE stop supporting it I'm hopeful I'll be able to unlock the bootloader
Hello my friends here at XDA!!
It brings me great sadness to say you wont really really see much of me round here for a while. I originally planned to make this thread in about a weeks time when i leave for my holiday to Florida for 2 weeks but im going to post now as today i have sent my beloved X10 for repair due to accidental damage. My x10 is not due back till wednesday, the day before i leave for my holidays.
This leaves me phoneless, i do not own a laptop and tbh i rarely have the patentience to use my **** old pc which sounds like its about to take off with the fan spinning so loudly! I odnt know if any of you notice but 99.999999999% of my posts and pm come from my xda premium app or tapatalk for this very reason!
On the plus side when i get back from my holidays i will be up for an upgrade on my contact and be able to get a better newer phone. When i find something i really like and want i will be leaving you guys. I will pop in of course to 'visit' and when i can i shall post before my holidays. I have a full time job and girlfriend and fairly active social life so dont expect to see much of me is all im saying and when the time comes to move on permananltly il leave you all know.
So really this is just to say you wont see much of me round here for perhaps about 3 weeks give or take a few days.
Peace and out,
Steve
PS
Im open to suggestions for new phones to get and reasons why. Im staying with android and dont want a sgs2
Bye for now..............
Hey Steve,
Hope the effect of cider wears off your x10 soon!!
Enjoy your holidays man!!
As for the new phone... stay with us mate! jk
can you please mention the reason you dont like SGS2 i think is the best option for replacement phone
Wait for new nexus phone...that is what I would do.

Hi Bro,
It is strange not seeing you around today as i know you will be missing all the fun of the bootloader unlock. What a time hey to get your phone drunk, i bet you not do that again mate lol.
Well i hope you get a phone sorted quick and that you enjoy your hols, maybe when you get back you can sort out another cheap x10 so you can play around with the unlocked bootloader with us all but if you get upgraded maybe you will not want to bother as you will have something better, well hopefully.
chat when you can mate.
What to say i feel bad
I know exactly how you feel, my x10 got stolen and vodafone didn't have any x10
They gave me Neo instead and its a awesome phone and all but with the bootloader unlock now I'm gutted...

I will be getting an SGS2 - bargain at £230 in my opinion
I will still be coming here - and my GT540 still works - so if anyone needs a tester - feel free to contact me.
My SGS2 will be coming in a few days. Probably 20th - after I get my payback
It will come pre-rooted and rom'd - so that is handy
Gonna miss this forum though - but like I said, I will still have my GT540!!!
I am repeating myself, so gonna stop now.
I don't think I will be missed (I don't think I was noticed tbh).

You would be hard pushed to get an S2 for the same price as me.....
But, you might!
I dunno. You could argue the HTC One X - but I heard the S2 is faster. There is the S3 of course. Both of those would be really expensive though
OT~~
S2 stock battery life is TOTAL BULL**** 5-6 hrs on moderate use >_< custom here i come!
Lol. it seems like GT540 forum is migrating to sgs2 forum. I had an idea like buying a new phone sometime ago but wasnt really sure what to buy, but now if I buy Ill seriously think about sgs2
No **** its still a strong one! ok ok lets remember this is the LGGT540 optimus forum
Cya, and I will also be leaving soon for the GS3, well if I can find the deposit money, I have to pay out £150 and will get it back in 12 months, wonder how I can get the money when I'm not working.
