my 4 year old son has recently discovered need for speed shift on my hd2...........
..
I had an Iphone 4 last week for the week to try it as a replacement as i am due an upgrade.
I really didn't like it that much compared to my HD2 i really didn't like how little i could do with it and i also didn't like the total lack of widgets and general info on the homescreen etc, so it went back and i'm keeping my HD2 for now until the HD desire comes out and the only reason i want a change is texting no matter what i've tried with my HD2 rom wise, with and without HTC messaging client i cannot text properly its simply far too laggy, the iphone was miles better for texting just pants for everything else...
If someone could sort out the texting on the HD2 i wouldnt bother changing as it is the iphone has simply reminded me how i should be able to text...
I do echo the sentiments above though i love how much you can alter the HD2 i've had a new Android phone the last few weekd literally everyday bizarrly the texting is better with android less laggy
Android on the HD2 is what it's at,it takes a while to get used to it but once you do you never look back, i rarely use WINMO anymore about 2% of the time compared to 98% Android

Today lol, somebody called my HD2 an EVO xD
he was like wow, where can I get that? is it an EVO? (It's not for sale in my country)
Lol, he must have been thinking that it was an EVO because I'm running a sense based android build. I told what was really going on and he couldn't believe his eyes LOL.
Wonderful day my device once more has made impression once again
You know what? I agree with the OP. I had the choice to buy any phone out there recently. You know what I got? The HD2. Why? The iPhone 4 and it's 3 inch screen and locked down operating system can go suck donkey balls. I didn't want a native Android device, because I grew up using Windowss Mobile. So I look at all the WinMo phones. Dissapointing specs, until I saw this amazing device. So I got it. This was one of my best purchases ever.

Whos Upgrading?

Whos going to be upgrading? To What? Why?
I just upgraded to an HTC HD2, absolutely an amazing phone, booted up android 2.2 froyo with sense, amazing. the port runs amazingly smooth, definetly a daily driver. No more worrying about free RAM and lag . I won't forget where I started though
Anyone else upgraded/upgrading? To what?
Im probably upgrading ill set aside a check from work and put it towards the nexus two when it comes out or maybe the hd2 i like that lol or the mytouch HD
I upgraded from the G1 to Mytouch 3g and then I upgraded to Nexus One and now I got a HD2 and and running Froyo 2.2.1 on it. I think is an upgrade from the Nexus One just because of the screen size otherwise it runs just as great as the Nexus One but the difference is the screen size. I love the 4.3 inch screen and will never get another Android phone without a 4.3 inch screen.
G1 --> Mytouch 3g --> Nexus One --> HD2 with Android

Should I trade my HD2 for a Desire/Nexus One?

I have the opportunity now to change my HD2 for a Desire or a Nexus One. Keeping in mind I will only ever use Android and do not intend on ever going back to windows mobile, should I go through with the trade? How are the speeds between the two devices on Android, say with a SuperRAM build on the HD2 and a build on the others?
Also, would a Desire or Nexus One be the better trade? im leaning toward Desire due to its increased RAM and physical buttons and optical trackpad.

I would trade instantly

I wouldn't trade for anything less than a Desire HD.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I wouldn't trade only because of screen size, if you don't mind going down to a 3.7" then I'd get the Nexus One for these reasons:
1) AMOLED Screen
2) More stable ROMs with better power management drivers
3) development
4) awesome lighted track-ball
If you even have to ask then trade it yesterday. I don't even understand why someone would waste their time even posting a question like that. Or why I would waste mine answering.

Hmm thanks for the replies guys. So does the Nexus One have better development than the Desire?
Also has anyone who used one noticed any difference in the screen resolution quality between Desire/Nexus One and the HD2? I ask this because of the PenTile RBGW technology both of these phones use which gives it an actual resolution lower than stated.
I had a Nexus with CM 6.1.1 and then flashed back to stock... The phone is OK... I would trade it because it's worth more than the HD2 but it's not faster than the HD2 on SuperRAM. Not way faster but it does go quicker.. Also on the HD2 I am getting H+ vs on the stock Nexus was stuck at 3G.
I sold my Nexus for $350 on ebay... you can get an HD2 on CL for $200-220
Jost for desire hd
Strange question why wouldnt you put android on sd of youre hd2?
Angry birds whas better playable then on stock hero:-o
just saw that there busy with booting android as nbh so dont think that will take much longer
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I would trade not sure which though, maybe desire for sense?
I am thinking something 2, i have HD2 about one year an would like to get something new, but there is notheing what I am looking for.
1. amoled 4.0 or bigger
2. good camera
maybe dell venue one day
my opinion is...Stay with hd2 cause one day you will have the posibility to run even wp7..you can try so many android builds and even running RAM..soon you will be able also ran RAMsense..!!!my girlfriend has desire HD and believe me runninjg desire hd on hd2 sdcard is faster than my girlfriends phone..the only one that desire hd beats the hd2 desire hd sdcard build is that have 720p video recording and faster app downloading via market !!so choose wisely..thats only my opinion
Depends if you are someone that likes to play, experiment etc..
I had a Nexus One, loved it until September this year, awesome phone, great colors on the screen and a fast update from google to 2.2
However, I was getting bored with the device and decided to get a HD2, I view a lot of video on my phone hence wanting the larger screen. The Desire HD was non existent then and I knew android would run on the HD2..
The development I have witnessed since September, many issues being fixed in the short period I have been on board with the awesome HD2 devs has proven to me this is a great developers phone.
One thing I love about the HD2 coming from a G1/Magic/Hero/N1 is that to flash a new rom I simply rename the android folder or modify the startup.txt and boot the new rom while not bothering the old rom.
This on a native android phone requires, Nandroiding then wiping, then flashing. If unhappy with rom then Restore nandroid. the Process is time consuming.
The thing I miss about my N1 is the Trackball for alerts, hell even my Magic had a tri colored LED.. the HD2 can only produce Green and Orange.
If you just want a phone that can run android and is stable and requires little attention, Flash a rom here and there get the Desire/N1.
If you want something to play with that is very flexible then id say keep the HD2.
I personally would not give up the 4.3" now after owning one, I have used a few Desire HD's and they are not bad not bad.. but not worth upgrade/sidegrading for..
Please note: This is all IMHO. Do not flame me!!

Which new phone

Firstly, if this has been topic been posted pls post link
if not, I have an HD2 now and in a couple of month [finally!!!] get to upgrade
but to WinMo or Android??
Now I love my HD2 only because of Cookie Monster and his amazing widgets and the other widgets that amazing developer have posted.
will I lose all that if I go over to the dark side
Well I'm looking out for the HTC Pyramid and the Galaxy S II.
Pyramid or evo 3d
Thunderbolt or HD2
Pyramid
P.S. Buy your HD2
HD2 is the Lord of the SmartPhones
HD2 is God of Smartphones
I really wouldn't know. I am more leaning towards a WP7 and keeping my beloved HD2. Not sure what would be my daily driver tho. Can't miss the HD2.
My upgrade is due in a month, Im probably gonna go for the DHD......
Not sure how long I'll hold on to it. Will probably sell it on to put towards a newer large screen dual core android device when one turns up.
Hell, I might even just sell it straight away and buy a new laptop. I have my HD2 after all, why do I need another phone
You still get to keep your HD2 for 6.5/CHT goodness remember
You just can't go wrong with good ol' CHT...
... however I am leaving hd2 for galaxy s II on three uk in may.

What phone will you take after your HD2?

Hi there,
I was wondering what phone you would get, after your hd2...
Still love this phone and don't know wich phone to take... i'm start looking for a phone on wich i can just as hd2 can tweak alot
On hd2 i can use WP7 + alot of different android roms.... and (still using) windows mobile... For example i havn't find a gps nav software like igo 8 for android or wp7
What phone will you get after your hd2? And why?
Just wondering
Bye
Another HD2 ?
I looked into this but seriously there isn't one that i would like it to be the replacement for my HD2, i had a desire (great AMOLED screen but meh), a Desire HD (very nice phone, no extended battery but meh, just android?)..and so on.
uhm...i'd pick any phone that's prettier than my hd2..and a phone that won't freeze on me after every text or so..also..i have a thing for slide phones..i'm sorry i cant deal with full touch screens...>__<..i'm considering the myTouch (violet) phone...but i don't like the tiny screen... =[ *sniffles* if only my hd2 could have all the cute lil android stuff...
Just bought another hd2...
It will run wp 7 and Android.. .
This phone is da bomb!
can anyone help me
i think of getting a used htc hd2 am really amazed by the multi os system am getting it at resonable price of around 13000 INR its 6 months old and is in good condition
if i get it now wont it be like am missing out any thing that present has to offer????
so what do guys suggest this phone or any other???
buying used HD2 is some kind of risk. Everybody knows about it`s issues with CPU heating and damaging digitizer with constant pressing red/cancel button.
But this phone is definitely unique, especially at nowadays price. Not the most powerful but the most customizable

so is there anyway to determine the digitizer and stuff are in good shape?
Phone i saw looks gud atlst otsde is gud
n ya nt mst powrfull device bt stil a 1ghz processor is stil gud aint it?
I'm thinking of buying the Galaxy Nexus because it seems to be a really great phone.
But the fact is that the HD2 is the best phone if you want to change roms, try windows, meego, ubuntu, android.
So I'm still hesitating.
The best thing would be to find a ne phone (faster one) with the same dev community
I'm trying to hold out until the HTC EDGE is out about March next year according to a HTC rep I was speaking to.
Unfortunately for me my back button on the HD2 has just stopped working today
Hoping I can find a way to fix it.
I'm also asking myself the question about what next after HD2 because mine just have this damned digitizer problem : no way to unlock the screen !!!
I've tried 3 Android ROMs , 1 WM ROM and even the Orange stock ROM : same problem everytime so it's definitely a hardware problem...
The Samsung Galaxy S2 looks nice, but I wonder about its quality and ability to be customized.
The best thing to do is figure out what you want it for. I'd probably go with a sensation or Droid RAZR depending on what has more activity on XDA. Honestly that's the only real way to go forward IMO. Track new phone progress on XDA and see which ones have a lot of progress and supoort in CM and other devs. Then get that used on Craigslist or eBay before it becomes super popular. I got the HD2 when Android still didn't work on it, and that let me pick it up for $115 then second one I got was 2 months later and it was already $150. Now, almost 2 years later it's $250. That's just amazing. The same thing might happen to other phones once they get good dev support on XDA and you have a bunch of code heads trying to pick them up used.
Sensation, RAZR, Thunderbolt, MyTouch 4g is okay. I'd just stick with good companies with good support. HTC IMO is the best there is for smartphones.
Many phones are good for customisation. The only problem is the dev community.
We should all choose the same new phone so that we can have a great community.
So, go galaxy nexus^^

I'll be getting galaxy note. Once you get used to a big screen, you'll never be satisfied with smaller one.
I am thinking SGS2, looks like there will soon be some good DEV's shifting to it.

Ye, that was I thought too. I've cheked some tests, benchmarks etc and Galazy note is the best phone on the marked. I've played with Galaxy S II and it's fastest device i saw. All the test says that Galaxy Note is even faster and better.
