I have HTC Touch HD, bought 6 mounths before.. I use it every day and i am very satisfied with it. I bought it in vip (croatia) and it has guarante (2 years). The screen is without any scratches because i have used screen protector.
I saw HTC hero (my friend has it) and i really fall in love with it.
What do you think, can replace my HTC Touch HD for HTC Hero (from someone who has it and who sales it for cheaper than it is in market)?
And do you think it woud be great idea?
i love my HD since when it first came out, and my brother has his Hero since it came out also, we both like our devices, and wont trade one for the other,, soo.. like most people would tell you, its very personal. If your friend has it, use if for a couple of hours, play around with it, and if you like it more than your HD, why torture yourself using a HD when u really want a Hero, and ofcourse if you find someone to trade with, purely based on your luck, or ask around in the market place here. If you want to know if your getting a good deal? well i think its a good trade, if both phones are in good condition, a used HD for a used Hero, purely up to your luck
Well on Ebay, a new HTC Hero is going for around £330 and a new Touch HD is around £330 also so... a straight swap should be fair.
I don't get it though... I used a mates Hero and hated it :s

Whats going on my fellow BLACKSTONE peeps, I have finally recieved my HTC HD in the mail from HANDTEC today....and all i have to say is WOW this phone is definitely worth it. I guess i will be jumping ship to T-MOBILE to run this phone. Sorry sprint, but your HTC phones aren't cutting it. For anyone else who may want to know, I will be selling my TOUCH PRO and possibly my other phones on EBAY, but for sure my TOUCH PRO, need money to buy that T-mobile plan. Anyone SERIOUSLY interested, PM me, and yes the phone is in brand new, DAMN good shape, i used it for a week and a half. I am selling it with the snap-on case and all the accessories that came in the box, heck the thing is back in the box, in my closet. So if interested PM me before i put it on EBAY.
But as for now, I will be calling XDA my new home, this place is the BLACKSTONE capital as far as discussions, apps and programs
awesome! enjoy the phone
Cool...Great way to start out the New Year!! Keep us posted on u'r new toy...
Hi guy, need some advise.
I lost my beloved HD recently, should i wait for 4G or purchase another HD?
Any idea when 4G going to be launched in Singapore?
ouch man that sucks. I get pissed when someone jacks my pen, I can't imagine someone jacking my phone.
If you loved the HD and found it PERFECT then I'd grab another, you can get them for cheaper now. Unless other phones are catching your eye.... Touch Pro 2...TG01 etc....

Wahaha i am always a fan of HTC. Loves my HD but when i compare the looks and spec with 4G, it looks similar. I was asking cause in singapore Touch HD doesn't seem to have a price drop as the sale of this model was held under one of our service provider only which had the price fixed as hard as a rock [email protected]#$%^&*()
So was wondering when will 4G launched. OMG i can't live without a HTC in my hand.... T.T
bummer...get another HD on international Ebay!
no idea about your 4g...you need to contact your carrier! good luck
I know exactly how you feel, lost my touch pro a month ago. I was sooo gutted... Bloody thieves..!!! anyway if you can wait without a WM phone then wait until the touch pro 2 comes out, otherwise just get another HD. That was my problem as well. I though I would just wait untill my contract gets over which was due within a month but couldn't survive without a smart phone for even a week, forget about a month..!!!

Will check whether touch pro 2 is worth the wait or.......it's been a week without smartphone....... i dieing...just trying my best to get of ebay .....
try googleing the snapdragon processor.... and then hope the whitestone has it
I dropped and broke my HD2 on which I've been happily running Android for about 4 months.
I claimed under my house insurance accidental damage clause but instead of sending my repaired handset back, or a new one they've said their suppliers haven't got any HD2s. So therefore they're sending me a cheque for 320GBP.
I have about 8 months left of an 18 month contract
So now my quandry: Do I
Buy another HD2, I could probably get one for about £350?
Buy a Desire, ditto?
Buy a Desire HD, I'd have to put money towards it?
My thoughts/opinions:
Option 1 - I could carry on trying different Android builds (which I enjoy), but do get a bit frustrated with the pause many people sometimes find when trying to wake the phone up
Option 2 - Slightly smaller screen than other options, but as a native android handset 'should' not have some of the issues an Android the HD2 has (hope it's easy to root though)
Option 3 - as above but better screen than the top 2, and more internal memory (does it make much of a difference if app2sd is installed?) Not too bothered about extra video quality. So is it worth the extra money?
Now I know that no one can make this decision for me, but if anyone wants to add their opinion it'd be very welcome.
I've got many thoughts on your situation, but off the top of my head:
- From reading other posts/friend's opinions, you will probably really miss the extra screen space if you go for the Desire, so personally I would not go for this option (or at least have a good play with one first).
- For me I love my HD2, and I love trying new Android builds, but if someone offered me a Desire HD I'd lap it up. However I wouldn't pay ~£200-ish for the upgrade.
- I think Android is just getting better and better on the HD2 (currently, my battery is lasting very well, no stability issues). Week-by-week, ROMs get closer to perfect.
- In the XDA Marketplace, there are close-to-new HD2's going for £170 (e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=854069 from a respected XDA member). On eBay, there's brand new ones for £270 or so. Either of these options would leave you with cash-in-hand for an extra memory card/accessories/beer money
So in your boat I'd get an HD2. If you get bored, you only have 8 months to wait, and then you could probably get a Desire HD on a much better tariff than current deals.
(Also, if you buy one now for ~£200, you could probably still re-sell it in 8 months for ~£150 )
I think you answered your own question, Get the Desire HD
I would go with desire hd as well... cuz its the matter of time that our hd2 is old and outdated... get desire hd darn in lol

fairly obvious u want the desire hd.
just get it dude.
no more winmo emo.
or get a hd2 which really good phone putting whatever you want android even wp7 build or meago soon to impress many people AND buy a cheap iphone 3g used for only 150 dollars on ebay
i did that
i took my HD2 for 300 dollars and an iphone for 150 dollars overall 450dollars which is near too 350 pounds
Thanks for the replies so far.
I've taken on board the comments and at the moment I'm watching a few Desire HDs on eBay to see if I can grab something for under £400. If I'm not successful in the next few days I'll probably try to get a 2nd hand HD2.
I can't really see the point of getting a Desire, the HD2 running Android will do all of that for me and with a bigger screen.
If I'm successful getting a Desire HD I'll probably keep it when my current contract expires next summer and get a sim only deal to claw back some of the extra outlay I've spent to buy it.
If I get an HD2 I'm in the same position I was before I broke mine!
Thanks again
I have been looking for the Desire Z everywhere! I have been to at least six mobile phone markets (not shops, entire markets) and nobody has the Desire Z. I live in China so that's probably why.
I don't want to order online because of the warranty issues. I don't want to get from the gray market, because the last phone I got from the gray market broke, and when I went to get it repaired, the shop was closed.
What phone can I use instead? I liked the Desire Z because it has the touch screen and a keyboard. I have to have the keyboard...living in China, I need to write Chinese, and Chinese phones just assume the user will use handwriting input! Not me, I use pinyin. My phone that broke was a Touch Pro 2. Any advice?
Those says the DZ cost around 300$ new and 200$ used usd ( sometimes less). Really need warranty for that price?
$300 is still a lot to pay for a broken phone. I like to go back to the shop where I bought it and talk to the person who sold it to me.
Any advice on which phone to get instead of the Desire Z?

They say the Motorola Milestone 2 is good too, i think you might wanna go and take a look at it
PS, i just hear people saying about this, not personal idea
I got my G2 on ebay for 300 a while back. You could probably get a desire z for less now. They still have the htc warranty for a while if they are under a year old. There is nothing else really. An unlocked mtg4 slide or a double shot or that samsung thing maybe.
I think there is a marketplace here and on cyanogen's website.
Get a desire z with internet and hope there will be a g3 soon like the rest of us.

The phone also has a brand new screen fitted by HTC under warantee. The original started to fail to respond so replaced under warantee.
Got the original box, charger, 8gb sdcard + the paperwork stating the screen was changed by offical HTC repair center.
why dont u keep the fone, they are getting harder to find in mint condition.. dont forget to delete the sms_registry and the SMS log if on 6.5 and u sell it
i found some highly sensitive sms on my T.M HTC HD2 when i bought mine from previous owner
This should be posted in the Marketplace section found here.
On a side note I bought a new phone as well about a month or two ago, the HTC MyTouch 4G Slide.
This phone for me has great specs. Dual-core, slide out keyboard and what a lot of people say is the
best camera ever put on a cell phone (same as Amaze 4G if i'm not mistaken). Well anyway I've used
my new phone a total of 3-4 times in the past several weeks. I just can't for the life of me let my HD2 go.

I hear you In fact, I am after a motherboard to assemble second HD2 I have in bits waiting to be fired up. I play with lots of various latest models and as much as I liked Galaxy SII, especially in terms of camera and general speed, I will not be parting with my HD2 any time soon. I feel tempted by One X though...
I'll admit the specs on the HTC One look pretty great and would love the phone myself as well. I would need to see how big the screen is though. I came from the two smaller phones to the HD2 and it took some getting use to in my pocket. Infact for the first few days it felt more like a small book in my pocket then a phone. Since the HTC One is close to a half inch larger i would need to play around with it before buying.
I don't know what's next for me. anything with hardware capable of lasting as long as the hd2
HTC one X - this will be another popular thread in XDA & HD2 will be heading to the Legacy department
...but i wil still keep my HD2 untill the day it dies
Keep as a back up. Hd2 is a legend
