[Q] Nexus One or Desire HD? - Nexus One General

Hello everybody,
I'm an happy N1 owner since february 2011. I tried a lot of custom ROMs and now I'm using the last MIUI.
I just bought (I'll got in my hand in few days) a new Desire HD for 299 euro (the price was too good), but I'm still unsure whether to sell my N1 and keep the new DHD or resell the DHD and keep my loved N1.
I don't really care too much about Sense UI, but battery life is really important, as is speed, display and "longevity"
I'll post the same question in the Desire HD forum... so I'll get a more complete opinion.
Thank you all

seriously?
WARNING - DO *NOT* POST QUESTIONS IN THIS FORUM - only tips/info/etc.

yes, seriously!!!
Anyway... I decided to keep my Nexus one.
The Desire HD is huge... it doesn't fit good in my hand... I don't have the right feeling ;-)
Thank you anyway

Idiot!!

Good choice...hard to beat the form-fit-feel factors of the Nexus One!

The DHD is newer and has upgraded specs including the 2nd Gen Snapdragon, but I would return it and keep the N1...Why? Since HTC or whoever will most likely have better Dual-Core or Quad-Core(Late 2011/Early 2012?) so wait for that instead. DHD got outdated quickly, if that's important(Sensation/SGII).

N1 of course ) or sensation )

I have already preordered the HTC Desire HD, and my current phone is the HTC Hero, great upgrade! Although I love my Hero!
I want to because having had a string of HTC phones in the past I'd love to come back to the fold........ but at the moment I'm sitting on the fence with my Galaxy S in one hand and in the other pages of info on the Desire HD to get through.
My contract is up in December after 18 fun filled months with a Hero (there have been times where i have loved it, such as now with froydvillain 1.5, and others times where i was ready to chuck it off the balcony!) ... I will certainly be upgrading to Desire HD
I'll bought Desire HD as soon as he arrive in my country...
I sold my HD2...temporary on my dummy phone
I am in the US if the phone comes to AT&T, I am getting it. My currect phone is the HTC Fuze (touch pro).
I'm using my Hero on Froyd Villian I'm 99% going to get this when my upgrade is due on the 16th November.

Prepare for the big disappointment. After you got it, you will probably realize that there is lag and other problems. So, you will bring back the Desire HD and buying another phone.
I am currently on the fence for now. I want the Desire HD so bad, but am happy with my Nexus and not sure how soon the Desire HD would get rooted as well.
Also, except for the big screen, not sure if its a worthy upgrade.
Decisions, decisions! If only it wasn't so expensive!

ROFL, and this was posted by..... oh wait.... Super Galaxy S
Back on topic:
Despite the "LCD" screen uncertainty, I should be receiving my HD in about 2 weeks. I am reading and surfing the web a lot, so the 4.3" screen will be a must for me. The new 8th generation GPS (Desire has 7th gen) will also be a plus; it's a feature I am using almost every day.
I may possibly abandon my streak for the desire be just due to the fact of that there will be a lot more support for it and dell to be blunt are ****ing about to much for my liking.
Also the fact the roms been released footing wont be far off.

I am moving from a Touch Pro 2 to a Desire HD. Not sure how I'll get on without a physical keyboard but I am so desperately fed up of my Touch Pro 2 that anything will be an improvement!
I'm excited - can't wait for it to arrive!

I'm in the same boat as you mate. TP2 on Vodafone and sick and tired of my phone.
I have had a physical keyboard for years and still don't know how I am going to feel without the option. But I have found myself using the on screen keyboard more that the physical one. I think its just because I am lazy.
I'll be getting the Desire HD me thinks.

[Q] Nexus One replacement?

Hi all! I'm thinking of selling my Nexus One, but before doing so I'm looking at what options I have open to me. Can any of you guys suggest phones, any OS really, and comment about the phone with respect to the Nexus?
I'm currently considering the HTC Desire Z/ G2, the HTC Desire HD, the Nokia N8 and the iPhone 4. Any thoughts?
Oh, and no CDMA phones please. I live in a GSM country.
Get an HD2 and flash whatever rom you want on it, unless you want a front facing camera then its down to the IPhone 4 or the nexus s...

dont get nokia n8. that is a definite downgrade. desire z seems a downgrade too (slower CPU) desire hd yes, iPhone 4, i wouldn't get that. i would wait a couple months till iPhone 5 (june) or if you can hold of, just keel your nexus, it is still arilliant phone. you can update it through loads of custom roms. you will also get the official 2.3 update. hope i helped.
I barely got my nexus one since I got it for cheap on ebay but I was reallllllly tempted of getting the nokia N8 coming from a nexus one to a desire z or a desire hd doesn't really qualify for a nexus one upgrade. My opinion is if your using the next phone for 6 months to a year get the iphone 4 or N8 if your geting another android device stick to your nexus. If your planning to keep the device for a year or two wait until the next gen iphone comes out or meego or android tegra devices.
Personally I wouldn't sell off you N1 just yet. The N1 still has a lot of life left in it, the recent releases aren't exactly huge upgrades.
If your N1 died/broke/bricked/whatever and you need a replacement then yes, a Desire HD or even a Nexus S would be a good choice if it picks your fancy.
If you are selling because you want a new toy to play with then I'd wait until the dual cores hit the market since they just around the corner.

Thanks guys, but I have come to a conlusion that I think many Nexus One owners feel. I've been looking ALL OVER at phones that have just come out, being rumoured, etc etc, but this just made me want my Nexus even more because (silly as it may sound) I can't find anything that I feel could occupy the same space in my heart as the Nexus
Now, I'm off to get myself some of those custom ROMs. Thanks a million guys!

no problem mate
Yeah you'd be better off waiting. CES is going on right now and a lot of the new phones will be out fairly soon (going by the current rate phones are being churned out).
I'm looking to move on too, but I'm happy to wait for the new pack.

I'm chiming in a bit late here as you have made up your mind and keeping your Nexus, but I will add that the Nexus One is the best phone I've ever owned. My main reason: The phone did not come loaded with bloatware and you don't have to root or flash to make it a great device. You're making the right decision.

Thanks again guys, looking at what's out the moment only makes me love my Nexus more. Even more so that I'm running Cyanogenmod 7 on it XD
The dual core phones are interesting, but none have the same "impact" the Nexus One has. And I'd be surprised if Google didn't release a "Nexus 2" with the same power, and maybe 2.4 if the rumours are to be believed.

Technically there is a sucessor, - Google Nexus S developed by Samsung. but i wouldnt condider it a major upgrade.
I completely agree that the nexus s is not much of an upgrade.. More of a face lift. Personally I have messed with my buddy's NS and it feels like my Vibrant I had (cheep and plastic) but I do have to say it looks sexy. I love my N1 and it will be around until it bites the dust.
Great choice on keeping your N1!!
I know about the Nexus S, but I think calling it the Nexus One's successor is borderline crimal.
Agreed, it looks great, but doesn't feel so great. But I guess it's a suitable platform to launch Gingerbread. After all, it's almost more about the software than the hardware.

[Q] i need your guys opinion

someone just offered me a vibrant+$50 for my g2.
OR
HD2+50
yes? no?
No.... $150 and g2 maybe.....
Sent from my HTC Vision
Lol hell no are you serious? Like the guy above said at LEAST 150. I would even bump it to 200.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Both of those are downgrades, IMO. Why would you want to take a step backwards device-wise, even for a little extra money? Remorse is sure to ensue.
Vibrant is cheap plastic, and lots of issues with that phone (CPU lag, major GPS problems) and there is less developer support on XDA for Samsung phones. HD2 is old hardware, that phone was released Nov. 2009.
Check out this post by another guy that traded his G2 for the Vibrant, and totally regrets it. Don't be him.

Replaced 3 phones in 3 months, just cuz I was never happy with my all 3 android devices, finally got DZ launched here in canada and I was craviing for it, purchased my DZ over a month ago, loving it so much that I can't even think of letting this phone go in my wildest dream...

Than try Desire HD, HD7, Evo Shift, Thunderbolt or something similar, but not outdated phones like HD2 ;-) And Samsung is not a choice at all IMO. Low quality, cheap plastic, disposable toys. They could'nt even make their own design and copy-cat'ed an iPhone.

If you like trying new phones, the HD2 doesn't qualify. Its a very old phone. 14 month old hardware may as well be 10 years in the smartphone business.
And a Android port is never going to run as well as a phone that is designed to run Android natively. So don't think that you will really have an Android phone on your hands if you buy an HD2 and flash an Android port. Old hardware that runs a very outdated OS, that also has the ability to run an Android port = not worth it.
I'm actually getting an HD2 to run Android and ditching my G2. It has the same hardware as my N1, which is running wonderfully and is a year old now, so I am not worried. I want the big screen, dual LED flash, and the Desire HD ROM. I've been waiting for T-Mo to announce a 4.3" HTC phone but who knows if it'll even happen at MWC so I am using the HD2 to hold me over until one ever comes to T-Mo.
just thought i'd let you guys know, i got the hd2 and am now running CM7 on NAND. its amazing. i love it
I had the hd2 before i got my z and it is a good phone with good support on xda. I just couldnt get used to its size. The z just "feels" better.

Goodbye DHD, Hello Sensation. (My DHD Experience)

Last night I went to the Australian launch party of the Sensation and entered a competition to win one, and today HTC messaged me and told me I won, so I won't be on the DHD section for much longer.
I've had my DHD for since it was released in the UK (roughly 7 months) and it has been the best mobile phone I have ever had.
The battery life wasn't the best to start with, but improved over time. (it can last for days, even when I'm constantly using WiFi, 3G or listening to music)
The Camera was always what I expected from a phone, and although lots of people criticized it, I thought the overall design of the phone was great. (i got used to the weight and size fairly quickly)
I know that the upgrade to a Ssensation isn't a big step, but like many people on here I always love to have the latest and greatest tech.
I'd definitely suggest the DHD to someone looking for a great Android phone with a big screen and enough features to keep you entertained.

Happy to hear you are the winner. With dual core technology, and a 1.2GHz Qualcomm processor you will not know what hit you
Congratulations for winning the competition and received the brand new Sensation. Damn you're so lucky. Anyway, its kinda bit sad for losing a dhd comrade but I'm happy for you and your new phone.
I bid you farewell my friend. :')

Wow. Congrats mate.!
Sensation is definitely an upgrade. and after all its the reliable HTC.!
So jealous, both of the winning, and the upgrade. The DHD is quite possibly the best phone i've ever had, its done all i want, and sometimes more without asking
Congrats for being a winner!!

You are very lucky dude.Having a DHD and winning a Sensation is...I don't know,too much!
First off,good for you.Secondly,I don't know if there is actually something that will completely replace my DHD.I bought a Galaxy S II,but a day doesn't go by that I don't use or flash something to my DHD.As for people criticizing it,the only thing I can complain about is the camera in low light.With enough light shots were just amazing.And while others criticized the size and the weight,that's what I loved about it first.I like knowing that my phone is in my pocket and hell,the DHD did give me that.As for size?Meh,I don't actually mind.I can get a bigger one with these sausage-like fingers of mine.
Well that's the way we all will go...newer phones.
I don't see these +4" screens and +1GHz CPU's droids as mobile phones, but as
pocket computers that have the feature "phone calls".
Whish you more Good luck in the future.
Congrats bro jelous!

Is this phone to old ? What will you be getting next ?

Is it time for a new phone now that development on this m7 has started to die down ? Sad really I miss my desire hd days development for that phone was awesome ! So what phone will you be getting next ? And is the development going to be awesome with that phone ? I want to get back to when things where poping off every day with something new to do I just don't feel the thrill of flashing with this m7 like I did desire hd .
Still good phone just not happy with development. Deffinetly better than one x + lol but desire hd had everything on development . I never have felt like I've got my money out of these phones besides the desire hd that phone was worth every penny !

too old? I just got this and its fantastic. This is the best time to buy an M7 for a couple of reasons...speed tests with the m8 are almost neck and neck, prices have gone down and its still a gorgeous piece of technology. Not to mention you can get sense 6 directly from HTC and therefore leave it stock as much as you want
Yeah I won't be upgrading to m8 but maybe m8 prime when it drops I just think the developer friendly environment gonna suck cuz of android L but who knows only time will tell I wish I still had my desire hd still have my HTC hd2 I love playing around with that phone still to this day

Dude, wait. Don't upgrade now. I would suggest that you wait to see the newer devices towards the end of the year. If you're in a hurry, the LG G3 or the M8 would be your best bet.
Is development your only issue with the phone? Because development is still going strong. Keep your M7. You worked hard to afford it
M8 didn't impress overall. I might go for the oneplus one for a larger scree, better battery life, and better hardware support in cm11. The hardware on the m7 is quite good so it's not a rush.
Honestly I'm keeping my M7 for at least another year or so, because by the time it's time for me to upgrade, the new Snapdragon 810 phones would probably be out. That's what I'm waiting for. I hope the next HTC phone won't have the black bar with the logo on it, that's one thing I hate about the M8. I'd like the screen to be directly and evenly centered in the body.
Snapdragon 810 (64-bit)
I'm waiting for the Nexus 6 which will be 64-bit along with the beautiful Android L.
That's what I'm waiting on is snapdragon 810 with 4k capability
I'm bout to turn my m7 back into ge edition and play around with art !
I don't like LG because it's plastic I only buy metal phones HTC hd2 desire hd and m7
I did buy a one x + but it wasn't metal and broke in my pocket att was nice enough to let me trade it in for a m7 I learned my lesson I'm to tough on phones and metal ones only ones that can stand up to my abbuse
