I have been agonizing on which phone to get as my husband promised me one for Christmas. Originally, I was aiming for the HTC Advantage as an upgrade of my Universal which Ive had for 3-4 yrs now. But due to budget constraints (I'm gonna be a mom soon), I lowered my budget and had to be practical as well -- I wouldnt be able to hold the advantage with one hand (assuming the other hand is holding the baby )
Anyway, I settled for either the HTC Dream or Touch HD. The price are similar here in NZ and I'm really torn because gsm arena rated both phone 9 out of 10.
I like the Dream/G1 for the keyboard having been used to universal's keyboard but I also like watching videos & listening to mp3s - Touch HD's 3.5 earphone output fits this and I think the Dream doesnt have video playbacks? I'm not particular about the OS, I'm used to Windows Mobile (and its bugs!) but I've heard that Android is quite stable too.
Can you please please help me decide*?
*This has been stressing me out and it's not good for my pregnancy
Ouch.. no one can give me advice. :-( I was hoping to get some suggestions from the forumers... but it's ok. maybe i'll just go for the dream because of the keyboard. thanks

Isn't a vote of 13 to1 in favour of the HD advice enough??
Sounds like the Touch HD would work well for you (but no keyboard).
No need to stress
oh yeah.. didnt really look at the poll... thanks... i will have to show this to my husband then
Thanks!
Finally!
Finally got the HTC Touch Pro 2... It's a long wait but it's so worth it. Thanks!
ok guys and gals I hope all have had a good festive period!!
here’s my question, I have just been offered a free upgrade by orange uk to the htc touch hd, I currently have the htc diamond.
it has been my first WM phone and I must say I am true convert. I have been looking longley with envy at the htc touch hd and I am defo going to own one; but with it being so new to the market I was wondering if any else has done the upgrade and wished they had waited a bit longer for a more stable product.
as i'm not that experienced at putting on ROMs does the one shipped with the orange branded phone work well??
or should i wait untill orange bring a 2nd Rom like they did with the diamond and untill android is fully working on the phone??
thanks for any advice given!!
I think shipped Roms aren't good (enough) at all. I like the possibility to flash another rom, whenever I want to.
So I would not put any stress on the shipped rom, there are already so many great cooked roms out there, so that is really no problem.
Flashing a cooked rom isn't a problem, it takes 10 minutes, if you know what to do, else you will have to read through the wiki, but it is really managable.
so does any one have any views on if the upgrade from the touch diamond to the touch hd is it worth it right now, or is it better to hang fire for a while untill the android os and a good offical rom from orange is out??
I still have the standard htc rom on my HD, version 1.14 and it is stable as can be, I don't feel any need to flash it. All you need to do is make a few tweaks and I'm sure you'll be satisfied with it. My HD somehow feels a little bit faster than a diamond, eventhough they have the same hardware inside and might I say inspite of the higher resolutions screen.
Given the choice I would pick the HD over the diamond any day, the extra big screen is well worth the price premium you pay over a diamond

I too find 1.14 to be faster than most cooked ROMs. Perhaps 1.14 is faster than 1.19.

hello everyone!
i'm also offered an upgrade from my old nokia n95, but i'm a little hesitant as i already have an htc touch diamond on another contract with orange. will it be practical to own both the htc touch diamond and the touch hd? i was initially eyeing the samsung omnia but it will cost me over £100 on my current tariff, whereas they can give me the touch hd for free. i've been having this "dilemma" for like a month now and im still undecided. anyone who can give me their views, i'd be grateful.
Hi!
I plan to buy a new mobile becouse my SonyEricsson P1i starting to get old. I had plans to buy the Touch HD but I get very confused if I should or not, because now it is said that MS comes with a new OS that WM 6.5.
I love to mod my phone and be "diffrent", that is why I have used P1i (UIQ3 based) so long time... I'm new here and don't think any one know me, becouse I have NEVER used a WM based phone before...
Okay, so Im open for any suggestions...
Can I update my HD to 6.5 after I have bought it? Ofcourse not legaly (Im not a legal "freak" buddy , but ofcourse support works' I like)... I have not seen many apps here but, every one I have asked know about this forum and says guys here realy know what there doing...
Thanks...

What are your thoughts about upgrading from the HD to the Touch Pro 2
Do you guys feel it will be worth the cost of upgrading?
i think not the good ideea. ...just a tough
If you really need a keyboard then it may be worth it, otherwise I think it's just too similar, especially since most if not all of the new stuff and WM6.5 will get ported to the HD.
Hi!
I found out that the idea of buying a HTC Touch HD wasn't the best idea. I'm not the one who developes or who wants to configurate his phone so detailed. I'm the one who just want to use his phone. So I made the decision that an IPhone would be the better solution for me.
So i just want to ask: Is anybody here who wants to trade his IPhone for my HTC Touch HD (Blackstone) ?
(I live in Germany; could be a relevant fact for someone)
wow! well i have a friend who has an unlocked iphone 2g but i guess u may be looking for a 3g right???
how long u had your hd?
i will ask but u in germany and dude is in the US lol hummm? dunno!!!
I'm interested, but I live in the UK. Are you going to visit London any time soon ?
