So is the HD2 worth buying? Is it smooth as they claim it to be?
Need replies, as I'm 1 click away from ordering.

this might help a bit

He offered me $80-100, and my G1 is in good condition. I imagine his B.S. "project" is turning around and selling them on eBay for double.

First of all, you choose to sell me the G1 you are not being FORCE to do so.
Second of all, my "project" is for me, nothing to gain profit.
I don't even HAVE a ebay account nor have I ever sold anything online. So don't go around posting "B.S" rumors.
$80-100 seems reasonable maybe to me at least seeing as I got my first G1 for free, mytouch is coming out, the G1's on t-mobile got cheap, and are going to get cheaper once the mytouch comes out. So you can keep your negative comments to yourself kid, and if you don't want to help, or sell,give, etc your G1 stay away from my topic, or I will bring a moderator..

New HD2 On its way :-)

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

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

As far as has been put out by Microsoft we won't see any WP7 phones till holiday time, i.e end of year. That's a mighty long time to wait.

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.

Things To Do While Waiting For Our HD's ?

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.

HOX and N7.

Hi, I am an Android lover and a Apple hater.
I have a HOX currently which is a massive phone.
I was wondering, I really want a tablet, but am trying to decide whether 7 inch is big enough, as I have a near enough 5 inch phone?
Those of you with a big phone, S3/HOX could you tell me if you still think the N7 is worth the purchase?
I went to HMV and had a little play with the N7 and am still undecided, but I think 10 inch is way to big for me. and the only 8.9 inch tab is the Galaxy Tab, which I think is a bit out of my budget.
Any help appreciated, like after a while using the N7 does the 2 inch difference in size make a big enough difference to warrant purchasing an N7?
THANKS ALL !

You'll be my hero if you can make this happen. I bought a zwatch last year and was pretty disappointed with both stock and custom roms. It's been collecting dust since I switched back to my pebble.

Count me in for testing too... The stock rom and its derivates suck
This sounds pretty cool. Ive been on the fence about the Zwatch and I'd be keen to get one to help out!
Question: does anyone think this will work with this ROM?
Also is that watch branded elsewhere for a lower price? Its a bit steep and someone else has to sell it? Other than a metal Weloop, a metal zwatch is what ive been waiting for!
Cheers guys.
good notice. i'm waiting for new notices
@parrotgeek1 any updates dude? Maybe i can help you port it
