Hello guys , i hope a post this right
I am going to buy a new phone soon and I am looking on this HTC HD and i have read a lots of reviews and watched many videos , and I am now wondering should i buy this or the HTC Touch Pro or antother HTC?
I have read many posts at this forum and I have som problem to choose
Sorry for the bad english
I think nobody is able to answer this question for you at all. Its a good device, but HTC Touch Pro is also not as bad .
It all depends on what you need. If you are sending out a lot of emails and text messages, the Touch Pro might be a better choice because of the hardware keyboard. I say might because the large screen of the Touch HD makes using a SIP very effective as well.
But if you are looking for a multimedia phone, the Touch HD is the way to go.
So why don't you start by letting us know what you need it for?
Well ,
I send alots of sms but I think you will get use to the on-screen keyboard, just you get use to everything else.
Surf on the web is also a thing I do much... but the thing i do most is listen to music , and take some photos but not that much.
Whatch som movies never hits wrong.
This post was messy xD hope you understand
well it looks like the Touch HD will suit you just fine
But i wonder one thing, is it many problems with it? many says is god and many says its bad , but what i have seen the most can i find here , many solutions and fixeses
Overall, it's the best device around! And XDA has many tweeks, fixes, & even cooked roms!!
Thx guys , all thats is left now it to get the money xD
Yea man, after having the VOGUE, DIAMOND, and TOUCH PRO (which im still trying to sell) the HD is the phone i would and will go with. Thing is, i am on sprint, so once i get the phone imported, i will have to jump ship, but after having some hands-on time with the phone, trust me, it will be worth it. It's a shame that this phone isn't coming to the U.S. but, as far as rumors go......the G2 maybe an equivalent of the HD????

hi guys!
HTC Italy had confirmed recently via twitter that bad news (anyway, we expect it)
LINK : http://twitter.com/HTCItalia/status/17429963594
It says that 2.1 update for HTC Tattoo is not planned just now, but really it says that we never see an official update from HTC. Bet that HTC engineers have encountered problems making work camera and radio...
Our only hope is in our awesome "RomCookers" (such as fyodor, ikxdf, jacob and much more). i will donate as soon as possible for me, the work of those men is fabulous!!
XDA +1, HTC -1
NOT DEVLOPMENT RELATED MOVED TO GENRAL

Does´n´t mean that much anyway. I´d rather have my rom from the devs here than HTC. Take for ex. the original froyo from HTC to Desire. It´s very buggy. In contrast the opendesire rom from AdamG is the nicest and cleanest rom I´ve ever seen.
Maybe 2.2 ...

No way... (Why would they bother with 2.2 if they haven't even lifted a finger for 2.1...)
I think that we won't see an update foot the tattoo, ever!
You can see the issues Htc has to face with sense and the hardware in the Kiljacken-Rom - overclocking made it useable, but still you are permanently running low on RAM. SenseUi in my opinion is the biggest problem and Htc isn't going to throw it over board just to give us eclair or froyo...

I'm sure HTC considers the Tattoo as an obsolete device already.

And she told about 2.1 .. i dont know why she went for the2.1 but its okay.
I've asked 2 times, first was about 2.1-2.2 update.. answer was June 17th 2010
Hi Daniél, Thank you for contacting us regarding HTC Tattoo. Unfortunetely there is no planned Android 2.1 - 2.2 upgrade for the Tattoo. You are welcome to contact us again for further assistance. Best regards, Elsa H. HTC
2nd time I asked I mentioned that now when the newer phones like Desire got it's 2.2 and the older Hero got its 2.1 update, is there any plan for ANY update for the Tattoo?
Answer was August 6th 2010

So what i need for bluetooth!? to work?
I have to root my phone?
I also cant acess wifi connection that requires securew2 login with TKIP
We, Russian users, started spamming HTC for 2.1, but we got the only reply that we won't get 2.1 because of perfomance lowerage. But such words they said about Hero, but the users fought for 2.1 and got it! Now, I think, it's our time. Yes, there is Wildfire with 2.2, but they CAN release the Tattoo firmware 2.1, they just don't WANT to do it. I ask all of you to join our war against HTC marketologists! We MUST get 2.1!!!

I'm in, well, not WAR, but I'll keep mail and ask them
low performance.. lol, the Tattoo got more or less same cpu/mem as the Hero, if Hero can, so can Tattoo.
We thought in this way, too.

Ok, I'm in too... so, what's the plan? How to fight for 2.1 upgrade?
There's nothing you can do with fighting for an upgrade. HTC doesn't want to. You have to accept that. If you really want 2.x go to the development section of the forum. You will find a few roms there. They are not working perfectly (Camera and FM don't work and some minor bugs) but at least they work. If you want to do something for a perfect tattoo 2.x rom you have to help the developers in building it. If you're not skilled in developing yourselves you can help them as testers.

welcome to xda.
to answer you question, no there is no wp7 rom available for hd2. there are themes that emulate it.
additionally, this has been asked with new threads about it quite a bit...please do use the search function.
again, welcome.
Wow...awesome answer! Saved me the trouble
Really?
I saw a video over on BGR website showing a working port of windows phone 7 on an HD2 Here is the link if you want to check it out, but I would love Windows phone 7 on my HD2 if at all possible.
http://www.bgr.com/2010/11/07/windows-phone-7-ported-to-the-htc-hd2-again-shows-more-promise/
We have all seen that video, and it's currently unknown if that is real, or just an emulator image...because it certainly isn't RTM, nor are the chinese releaseing the image to anyone.

Looks legit running side by side with the HTC Surround though doesn't it? I guess it could be black magic.

Really because to my knowledge XDA China is responsible for the port and video,...Guess I could be wrong...I always am according to the wife LOL
Right, but XDA China is in no way affiliated with XDA-Developers, and the chinese are not releaseing any information on their "port" until, according to their words, "enough people are mad enough that it's not out yet". So yeah, personally I think it's fake.
In another thread, another Chinese guy called the number from the video a couple times and talked to the maker of the video. First he said that if the rom was flashed, there was no way of going back to winmo... then the last time he talked to him he said something about it being false.
What I heard, and what I believe to be true now, is that the Chinese got whole of one of the wp7 test hd2s that m$ used to test and develop wp7. Its well known they used hd2 to test in the early stages, and it doesn't surprise me that one of these devices surfaced. Unfortunately, I have a feeling we will never know for sure what was used for the video. I think we're still a long way away from using wp7 on our hd2.

Now that makes total sense, I can see how that could have unfolded.
I am deciding to buy a phone: between hd2 and desire. I would prefer hd2 as it can have multi-os. I am a developer and it's a plus to have a phone support multi os so that i can develop and test on these os without having to buy multiple phones... i am planning to use android as my main os but i am wondering if it worth it..
I have been reading a lot of threads of android roms on hd2 and posting quite some questions lately about flash 10.1 support, battery etc..
the more i read about the android roms on hd2, i keep finding more and more issues(with some constantly repeating):
like robot voice where some people say it's fixed in one thread and in another more recent thread someone else says he still has the issue (and has to enable loudspeaker and turn it off or some say the phone freezes when they get robot voice and have to reboot); that's pretty annoying imo..
there's also low volume issue that i always see in every rom thread i read..
then there is vibration problem or phone not ringing, missed calls issues, battery drain issue, etc... (the list is quite big )
my question: do these issues exist in htc desire sock rom or desire's custom roms (i am a fan of customisation and will probably be flashing custom rom on desire if i buy a desire instead of an hd2)?
My primary concerns are
calls, sms (I will be using it for my work; so missing a call or having bad call quality or missing sms are not acceptable)
camera (should react quick a bug-free to take photos with default winmo quality)
music player (just need decent sound)
,
is there an android rom having all these 4 functionalities stable and bug-free (haven't found any yet.. been doing a lot of research and reading a lot of android rom thread)...
sorry for the long post and thx for reading it... waiting for your responses... depending on my needs. Hopefully, i will get the necessary advice to make my final decision. Thanking you in advance
You better post you question in the Desire HD thread.
Most of HD2 owner doesn't own a DHD.
If I where you... I will buy the DHD if you want only android (year... I know a lot will disagree with what I write...)
i'd pick hd2 especially if you're a developer. most of issues are eliminated by new builds and fixes. i have everything working on my hd2 and i can't complain on anything.
I'm not sure it's good to test apps on a phone which doesn't run a native os.
Maybe the emulator from an SDK will be a better "test platform".
But I'm not a dev so take my answer just "as it".

thx for ur replies.
@emjakmaciej :
you don't have any low volume call or robot voice issues? or no vibration/ringtone problem? what rom are u using?
yup i know hd2 is a developer's dream but i wanna be sure i can still be reliable as a phone! (make/receive calls properly, send sms with all notifications working well)
As far as I know, I have few issues with my build.
I can't say less than a real DHD as I don't own one.
Latest build (from some chef) are very good actually. And it improves days after days.
My wife as a stock HD2 and sometime it freeze also.

i ended up buying the htc desire lol.. mainly because HD2 seems too big imo although i must agree this is a damn good phone but finally i realised that i really want android and not much interested with windows mobile.. so i think a native android phone is better.. thx again for all your help and advices!
htc hd2 is much much better!
U can choose between three different softwares and many many custom-roms
One thing you need to realize it that most people only post in a rom thread because they are having problems. So really most of the feedback you will get in a rom thread is negative but this does not include all of the thousands of people who have no problems at all usually when people have problems it is because they did something wrong and isn't actually a Rom issue Android works %99 Perfect on HD2 you shoulda got one. You are missing out

I want video call too, apparently it works on the O2 Nexus, so O2 have customised their Nexus's So there must be a way to enable for stock Nexus.
