Guess What Comes After the HTC HD2? The HD2 Pro
Hmmmm... Now I want the PRO version..
I guess I will sell my unit when the PRO is available.

I might be wrong, but I don't think it will happen. The same question was asked when the Touch HD was launched but nothing appeared. First was the Diamond/Pro, then Diamond2/Pro, but no HD/HD pro...
I have serious doubts over the claim too.
HTC are probably quite happy with the staggered releases at the high end with the trio of compact (Diamond), media (HD) and professional w/ keyboard (Pro). I just don't see the demand there for a 2nd line of high end keyboard devices. I doubt HTC do, either.
The article the original poster linked to is pure speculation, but sensible speculation; it's suggesting simply that in 6 months or so there will probably be a replacement model for the Touch Pro2, which will have the same relationship to the HD2 as the Touch Pro2 had to the Touch HD. This seems like a fairly safe bet.
3 months since the original post, has anybody heard anything further on a HD2 Pro or TP3?
This does not likely happen. HTC is developing in a way without qwerty keyboard. Legend, HD Mini, Desire, Incredible. No phone with a physics keyboard at all
This is great news! two power buttons? one at the top, and one at the end call key?
HD2 with twice the thickness? No thanks!
It's obviously fake... +I don't like it..
may be it will be like the new toshiba ko1 4.1 inch screen with snapdragon processor and capastive screen but little more thicker than hd2

all this talk of new phones has made me kind of nolstagic..so I went hunting last night and found my very first XDA....an O2 Orbit.
That was (and perhaps still is) my greatest phone. It never let me down, it had lots of fantastic features (LED indicators you could actually see, a hardware camera button, a battery that lasted 3 days +, great build quality, hardware buttons, plus a trackball and a track 'ring'), it fitted my hand perfectly. Ok, compared to phones nowadays it would be slow...but it sure was a good one when it was released....which is why I've never sold it like I have all my other phones.
now I seem to be going backwards and wanting the old phones to make a comback..if only my next phone was as good to me as the Orbit was....
Hi,
I'm considering to buy the HTC TD2 since it seems to fit my needs in a good way. However, I read about the HTC Photon which seems to be very similair to the HTC TD2. One major difference is the screen, capacitive vs resestive.
Do you think I should wait and buy the HTC Photon instead or should I just buy the HTC TD2 now? Do you belive that HTC Photon has better technical performance than HTC TD2?

other major difference is the resolution: Photon is HVGA (à la iPhone, 400*320), Topaz is WVGA (800*480), much much higher DPI. at this point, I would not consider anything below VGA, WVGA is the new standard for both winmo and android, except for low end and candybars phone...And, besides this major point, pics of Photon looks like a plastic toy compared to Topaz, but that's only my personal preference...
Photon does not makes me regret buying the Topaz....Nexus one, on the other hand....;-)
I recommend you to go for Diamond2 which has better resolution and better look. I think diamond2 is sensitive enough with resistive screen and I like using stylus some times
On top of that, you will have a good deal as diamond2 has released since one year or more.
HTC Photon based on 600mhz qualcomm cpu, with HVGA screen resolution it will be much, MUCH faster than HTC Touch Diamond2 (518Mhz with WVGA).
So this is a choice between good picture or speed
expansion question
just wanted to ask.... how much expansion is possible in topaz microsd? what is the max i can go up to ? will the system recognize it if i go higher then 4 gb? or 8 gb?
The SD card socket supports microsd up to 32 GB
I currently have the older HTC HD and I am debating whether I should upgrade it to the HTC HD 2 rather than wait for a better phone.
Does anyone here in this forum upgrade his or her HTC HD to the HD 2 and is glad to have done so?
HI Earthbrain.
Yes, I upgraded my HD to a HD2 and I am very happy with it.
THe HD2 is much faster and responsive than the HD, and I have had far less issues. HTC Sense does a lot to mask the windows interface, and most of the time I don't need to delve deeper than the standard apps.
It is a big device, but you get used to it.
Very happy overall. Have not felt compelled to change the rom, whereas with the HD I kept trying different roms to get stability/features.
Cheers
Greg
I would. The processor is amazingly fast compared to the HD. Capacitive screen is also very nice.
Yes! Do it!
I upgraded by HD to a HD2 and have been very happy with it. The interface is much more responsive. The capacative screen takes a bit of getting used to (no using my fingernail anymore!), but is far better.
I gave my old HD to my partner, and I really notice when I use her phone how much slower it is.
Get the HD2 - you won't regret it.
I had also upgraded from HD to HD2 although i had some bad experience with HTC when purchasing this phone. After all i am still happy with the phone Really responsive
Few things u need to take note.
HD2 do not have:
1) Stylus
2) Front camera for video calls
It is definitely a step up from the HD.
I have an HD and just got an HD2.
Still getting use to using my fingers, instead of a keyboard
or stylist.
jus go for it
definitely recommended to update from HD. I did so and enjoying every moment using it.
It is so very fast. Its a beast with that 1ghz processor...can take on absolutely anything.
Best Windows phone I ever used!!!
Hi dear,
I own galaxy s and I like it.
After I saw HTC desire hd, I've changed my mind though.
I'm about to sell my phone and going to get the phone ot desire.
Do you think if I will get desire(not hd), is it too late to get it?
Should I wait for desire hd?
I'm tired of the laggy on galaxy s...
13 days till HD is released, thats nothing honestly.
I've been waiting for months =X
@jorkobe23 The only reason you're considering buying a DHD is because of the lag issues on the SGS? If so, why not wait until the end of the month for the SGS update to 2.2 to see if it fixes the lag issues?
It may save you a lot of money to wait, especially since from your post it seems that other than the lag you're happy with your SGS.
nono,
I love sense ui and I want to have bigger screen.
I heard android froyo is optimized for snappgon cpu not hummingbird.
So many people guess even though froyo will release for galaxy s,
the laggy and gps problem will not be solved.
Idree: Haha,
did you sell your galaxy s?
wait for the DHD, its will be on stock very soon, until the 22th.
dono, for me anyway the SGS is not the real thing, no cm for that device yet, and dono, its made like plastic.

if you want a bigger screen i wouldn't go for the desire because that has a 3.7" screen which is smaller than your current phone, which is 4" the desire hd will have a screen of 4,3"
Desire HD advantages:
- updated graphics GPU (faster 3d games performance)
- bigger screen 4.3 vs 3.7inch
- 8MP camera with real 720p recording vs 5MP and broken 720p
- more RAM and more internal storage (internal is no issue on desire with A2SD+)
- Full aluminum body
- new sense
Desire advantages
- Slimmer, lighter and easier to operate in one hand
- Higher screen density (252dpi vs 233dpi)
- AMOLED or SLCD (Sexier colors and blacks then standard LCD on the HD with better viewing angle)
- semi aluminum frame
- new sense is on the way (either officially or by xda)
i'm personally in love with my dense SLCD screen and slim body, so i wait for the next desire, praying for 4inch version
Haha Thanks for useful information, hamdir.
Hm... I think I should go desire HD cos I heard desire has had multi touch problem, right?

a slight multi touch problem, the desire is dual touch, i'm not facing any issues with games like hero of sparta and emulators
the issue appears with FPS like games for example where you might keep one finger still on the movement buttons and aim with the other
in games like heavy gunner where you have to dual control both left and right guns i faced no issues and i've enjoyed that game
as for the interface no problems, pinch to zoom works perfectly
but yes your right if that is a concern go with the HD (i'm not sure if multi touch is confirmed), the HD is more suited to games anyway because of the much faster GPU
for me i compared the HD2 usage to Desire usage and the size was unfortunatly an issue for me
Ok.. so I'm in the same situation here... and I can't make up my mind between the 2 phones ....
I've read this whole forum and also looked at the 20 best mobile phones at techradar - The original desire is still at number 1.
I like the big screen. I am basically in front of a pc the whole day .. So I can pretty much charge the phone anytime.
So I would like some input from fellow xda users ... which is the best to go for? Desire or Desire HD?

I have a Desire and just got the DHD last week. The DHD doesn't seem like a big enough upgrade over the Desire for me personally and I prefer the more compact size of the desire.
If I didn't already have the Desire, I would be happy with the DHD on it's merits.
@Cranzy: my opinion is that if you don't mind the extra 4mm height and 8mm width, if you don't mind the touch buttons and don't need the optical trackball, if you don't mind the maybe little lower battery life (on other side, on first run i still have 52% battery after nearly 12 hour run, so it looks like a full day with a bit higher usage than usual for me), then go for Desire HD. I got it yesterday, and it's impossible to compare with my old Milestone, the speed is like from a different planet .
Thanks for the info... Think I'm much more leaning towards the Desire HD ...
Ok... the more i read the forum here .. the more I'm thinking Im gonna make the wrong choice by moving to the desire HD and that I should rather be moving to the normal desire ... maybe I should go start reading the normal desire forums ...
Each phone has probably got their own problems...
Will future firmware updates fix most of these little nagging problems ..?
I am upgrading here from HTC diamond .. so both desire or desire HD is a major upgrade ...
Is everybody still saying I should go for the desire HD?
It all depends what you want, but don't forget that graphical performance of HTC Desire is ~50% of the Desire HD or Z.
I really like the big screen and htcsense feature ... i don't mind the battery ... just been reading about the sensor and camera issues ...
Im still leaning towards the Desire HD though
I'm on my second day of my dhd not totally sure if I'm keeping it . Love the screen size and battery life . But its not that much of an upgrade from my desire and I do like the amoled screen better on the desire .
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I gathered from the forums that if you are coming from the desire .. the upgrade isn't really worth it... but for me coming from htc diamond ... it will be
To be honest they are both great phones . Very tempted to keep the hd but will live with my desire till something a bit better comes along or my desire goes faulty . But never the less the hd is a class phone if your coming from something totally different .

Sorry, duplicated thread for some reason. Mod to delete this one?
Thanks
I've got the money in my pocket but can't decide wether to buy a desire or desire HD.
Is the extra £120 really worth it? If you've had a DHD a while after having a desire has the novelty worn off and left you thinking it's not worth the extra?
I went from a touch diamond to a touch HD and realised the HD is just a big diamond and probably wasn't worth the upgrade.
I dunno? Which one would you go for?
N.b I've heard sense.com is coming to the desire in December...just an additional thought. I've searched the forum but there isn't really much about this.
Thanks
For me, the screen size of the Desire HD is wonderful, when comparing both phones you'll find a better camera, 720p processor, an updated 2nd Gen 1GHZ processor, a nice form factor etc. Personally I would buy the HD over the original any time, and I have
the DHD is the desire perfected jumping back from DHD to classic desire feels like a step back
