Its time for my nexus to rest so which one should i go for Samsung galaxy s Or HTC desire hd,which has better CPU and gpu and ram.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I say Nexus One, wait until there is a phone that have things that the N1 don't have or can handle... the SGS and DHD is no big upgrade imo.
Between those 2, go the HTC. Samsung has a bad name in android, until they change that, HTC is always the smartest option. For support, stability and updates

Lol what about windows mobile 7

I'm going to be getting a new phone soon as well.
But I'm in the US. I hate getting subsidized phones, due to being locked in for 2 years, and the fact that once a new phone comes out on at&t (like the recent galaxy s) everyone gets it.. and that's annoying.
WinPhone7 looks kinda goofy. But I can't take a poke at it since it's not officially released yet.
The Desire HD is something I really desire though.
had a play with one of htc's yet to be released windows phone 7 phones and I've got to say, I'm considering hanging up my nexus for one. I hope someone manages to port windows phone 7 to the nexus, that would be sweet

Other then the EVO, there is no US-carrier freq spec Desire HD unfortunately.
someone just offered me a vibrant+$50 for my g2.
OR
HD2+50
yes? no?
No.... $150 and g2 maybe.....

Lol hell no are you serious? Like the guy above said at LEAST 150. I would even bump it to 200.

Both of those are downgrades, IMO. Why would you want to take a step backwards device-wise, even for a little extra money? Remorse is sure to ensue.
Vibrant is cheap plastic, and lots of issues with that phone (CPU lag, major GPS problems) and there is less developer support on XDA for Samsung phones. HD2 is old hardware, that phone was released Nov. 2009.
Check out this post by another guy that traded his G2 for the Vibrant, and totally regrets it. Don't be him.

Replaced 3 phones in 3 months, just cuz I was never happy with my all 3 android devices, finally got DZ launched here in canada and I was craviing for it, purchased my DZ over a month ago, loving it so much that I can't even think of letting this phone go in my wildest dream...
Straight no to any other trades, even if u get a lot in return... this is the phone u will regret letting go...

Than try Desire HD, HD7, Evo Shift, Thunderbolt or something similar, but not outdated phones like HD2 ;-) And Samsung is not a choice at all IMO. Low quality, cheap plastic, disposable toys. They could'nt even make their own design and copy-cat'ed an iPhone.

If you like trying new phones, the HD2 doesn't qualify. Its a very old phone. 14 month old hardware may as well be 10 years in the smartphone business.
And a Android port is never going to run as well as a phone that is designed to run Android natively. So don't think that you will really have an Android phone on your hands if you buy an HD2 and flash an Android port. Old hardware that runs a very outdated OS, that also has the ability to run an Android port = not worth it.
I'm actually getting an HD2 to run Android and ditching my G2. It has the same hardware as my N1, which is running wonderfully and is a year old now, so I am not worried. I want the big screen, dual LED flash, and the Desire HD ROM. I've been waiting for T-Mo to announce a 4.3" HTC phone but who knows if it'll even happen at MWC so I am using the HD2 to hold me over until one ever comes to T-Mo.
just thought i'd let you guys know, i got the hd2 and am now running CM7 on NAND. its amazing. i love it
I had the hd2 before i got my z and it is a good phone with good support on xda. I just couldnt get used to its size. The z just "feels" better.
Last night I went to the Australian launch party of the Sensation and entered a competition to win one, and today HTC messaged me and told me I won, so I won't be on the DHD section for much longer.
I've had my DHD for since it was released in the UK (roughly 7 months) and it has been the best mobile phone I have ever had.
The battery life wasn't the best to start with, but improved over time. (it can last for days, even when I'm constantly using WiFi, 3G or listening to music)
The Camera was always what I expected from a phone, and although lots of people criticized it, I thought the overall design of the phone was great. (i got used to the weight and size fairly quickly)
I know that the upgrade to a Ssensation isn't a big step, but like many people on here I always love to have the latest and greatest tech.
I'd definitely suggest the DHD to someone looking for a great Android phone with a big screen and enough features to keep you entertained.

Happy to hear you are the winner. With dual core technology, and a 1.2GHz Qualcomm processor you will not know what hit you
Congratulations for winning the competition and received the brand new Sensation. Damn you're so lucky. Anyway, its kinda bit sad for losing a dhd comrade but I'm happy for you and your new phone.
I bid you farewell my friend. :')

Wow. Congrats mate.!
Sensation is definitely an upgrade. and after all its the reliable HTC.!
So jealous, both of the winning, and the upgrade. The DHD is quite possibly the best phone i've ever had, its done all i want, and sometimes more without asking
Congrats for being a winner!!

You are very lucky dude.Having a DHD and winning a Sensation is...I don't know,too much!
First off,good for you.Secondly,I don't know if there is actually something that will completely replace my DHD.I bought a Galaxy S II,but a day doesn't go by that I don't use or flash something to my DHD.As for people criticizing it,the only thing I can complain about is the camera in low light.With enough light shots were just amazing.And while others criticized the size and the weight,that's what I loved about it first.I like knowing that my phone is in my pocket and hell,the DHD did give me that.As for size?Meh,I don't actually mind.I can get a bigger one with these sausage-like fingers of mine.
Well that's the way we all will go...newer phones.
I don't see these +4" screens and +1GHz CPU's droids as mobile phones, but as
pocket computers that have the feature "phone calls".
Whish you more Good luck in the future.
Congrats bro jelous!

I was just thinking what phone should I go for after my sweet HTC HD2.. I am proud owner of HD2 for 3 years now and I still love it for what it does even now.. But as you know the next gen phones are coming out every other day with front facing cam, near field communication etc which are hardware upgrades not possible to be implemented in our HD2, I was wondering what would be the next best phone to move on and which would have a good XDA support.. So guys please help me to choose one and also I think this would be helpful for many others..

I too am (still) a proud HD2 owner. That phone rocks, and always will.
I upgraded in December though, to the SGS2 and am thrilled with it.
I swore I would leave it stock, for a really long time...and 4 days later began with the flashing/upgrading/modding again.
There aren't quite so many options for the S2, as the HD2 but only b/c on the HD2 I could flash winMo in various versions, and Android etc etc etc. You know the drill. Mine doesn't have NFC, but really I read an article last week that said that there are sth like 25 stores in America where you can pay with NFC. Bah, who needs it.
If you can afford it, and money's no thing, grab a Nexus. If you're on a budget (like me) and you want a phone that you'll still be stoked with (and absolutely thrilled about the price) check into the SGS2. I'm an Android lover, so I'm diggin' it.
Good luck!
Be patient and wait for a real upgrade - HTC Edge/Supreme (4.7" 720p S-LCD2; Tegra 3; 1 GB RAM). Will be presented next month at MWC.

But what are the chances of scoring one for < €350?
The SGS2 has a major price advantage over anything out now, or coming out in the next year.
Thanks guys for the replies.. I know SGS2 is good but I don't like Samsung's build quality.. I didnt know about HTC supreme.. Looks interesting.. and I always love the HTC's solid build quality..
Waiting for the Tegra 3 devices, for sure! I waited for 2 months for the HD2 to become available and get delivered. Looks to me a bit longer for these epic devices.
Was tempted by the Vivid/Raider/Velocity for about a day, until I saw the Edge/Supreme.
I will be sad to see the mighty HD2 go, but it will go on to a worthy user.
Hi Guys,
I used to have an HD2 and a SGS2. I now have a htc sensation XL and im really proud of it. The quality of HTC is always the best for me. It has a 1.5 gHz processor but a large screen. Its very fast and you have beats audio. If you were happy with your HD2 I think the Sensation XL is the best option for you. The galaxy s2 had so many random reboots. I tried every version on it but nothing works perfectly.
i moved to a galaxy note
I bought the sensation back in October and have been more than satisfied with it. It is a very solid phone and has enough power to hold you over for at least a couple years. Just barely have they started coming out with apps that really use the dual core processors, so I wouldn't worry about having more than what the sensation has. And to my understanding the processor chip is the EXACT one used in XE so overclocking from stock 1.2 to a blazing 1.5 ghz is no problem. Some kernels are available with up to a little over 1.7 ghz so speed is definitely not an issue.
been using HD2 for 4months now and this is a legendary phone...
I'm always looking for a 2nd hand phone because i'm still studying..
I think SGS2 will be my next choice when the price reduced like when i buy my HD2....
To XL owners: is 4.3" to 4.7" noticeable for e-reading and browsing?

I assume it is as noticeable as the difference between a 4" and a 4.3" which in my opinion is quite a bit.

I think, the next HD2 will be the new HTC Ville(Codename). It should available in Q1/2012.
The technical Data sounds good especially for custom ROMS because it has 16GB internal Memory and 1GB RAM inside.

Hello,
the next Phone... hmmm good Question. After i flashed Android 2.3.7 and 4.0.3 i want WinMo back
So i wait for HD8 of course. Maybe in the middle of 2012?

With noticeably bigger screen,dc processor and camera etc ..galaxy Note is a worthwhile upgrade from HD2.May be just wait some more time and get it with ICS + display improvement (?)..
I think i am just stopping with my HD2 when it's broken.
And then move on to another HTC phone, but it HAS to be an android phone.
I just moved from my HD2 to a Sensation. It does not have quite the development that the HD2 has, but it has the same screen size with with better resolution. I have definitely become an HTC fan and I am pleased with the Sensation. Also, they can be found for a little over $200.

I've had my HD2 since 2009, my next phone will be Android and not Windows.
I like the Samsung Galaxy Note and its 5.3" screen but I'm waiting to see if HTC bring out an equivalent to the Note but with ICS pre-installed.

I'm upgrading from a Sprint Evo 4G and I'm blown away when I compare the specs of the two phones, regardless of what Samsung throws out in the next few weeks I'm getting the One, HTC build quality just blows me away, my Evo 4G lasted 2 1/2 years or so and the battery charges like new, and the phone is 95 percent mint condition, with the tiniest scratch on the screen from a drunk accident.
Who else is making a drastic upgrade and from what model?

I'm upgrading from a Samsung Vibrant. I would have kept the device because it was actually good enough for me. But I damaged the LCD cable and now it displays red-tinted colors. This, and some previous problems like a (very) scratched screen, SD card slot half-broken, GPS never works, camera lens missing....
Well, I think I need a replacement

I'm definitely gonna love it. While a jailbroken iPhone was fun and all, and still pretty customizable, It will never have the extensible customization android has. Also Android has come a long way since the time i got my iPhone 4. Can't wait to root my device when a root becomes available. Been reading up on all my stuff so i won't be a total noob when I get my HTC One.

The mytouch4G was my favorite phone next to my s3. Still runs great, after two plus years. Stepdaughter uses it now and she loves it.
This is the 1st HTC phone I have been interested since the Amaze, which the wife has now. I wasn't that big on the Amaze acfually, but was a nice phone hardware wise.
See how it goes after the s4 is launched.

Yup, a lot of my friends still don't believe my mytouch is running the same OS as them and in some cases still very much powerful. If it wasn't for the One being announced, I probably would've stuck with it for a few more month maybe another year. But the One sold me.
I bought the amaze for my wife. It's a very good device. It just never got that support it needed. I'm probably one of the few that think the camera is great.

Same case here! I went to the town in Liverpool to have a hands-on today. I must say the phone is stunning, and without any doubt captures amazing photos, let alone the extra capabilities to shoot slow-motion videos and sequence shots and the ability to edit them thereafter. Boomsound is not only decent, it is so loud that it could easily fill up a small reading room without any assistance of external speakers. The sound is, of course, crisp and clear.
Ever since the phone is rumoured to release i have been monitoring its progress. Have to regrettably admit that i have never been that hardworking in my studies. HTC One definitely lives up to my expectations, in fact it surpasses them.
Ordered the Silver once i got back. Now I'm dying to get it.
Upgrading from the HTC Incredible S myself, there's nothing actually wrong with the phone, and nothing on the market was even remotely luring me into buying it until I saw the HTC One. I am completely sold on it, never been a fan of GS3 (sure, awesome specs, but I really didn't like the way it handled/felt)
My biggest problem is picking the color, I absolutely adore both black and silver, so I picked the silver out of a coin toss
Upgrading from my HTC sensation. While it served me well, I can't resist the HTC One. Was nowhere near as interested in last year's One-X series...have to say that I'm genuinely excited and counting the days until my pre-order arrives.
DHD all the way! I'll still be keeping it

I will be leaving my trusty 3VO. Though not a huge upgrade, it's still quite the upgrade, and I'm especially liking all I've seen about the upgrade in the camera! I will miss my familiarity, as I changed my digitizer twice and my wife's once, and REALLY miss my lack of volume down button (from the 1st digitizer change)...
I'm coming from my (nearly) 3 year old HTC Desire.... Can't wait! got the black version on pre-order.
Upgrading from MyTouch 4g Slide. It all started when the digitizer got broken into pieces had it replaced then a few weeks it totally shut itself down permanently. Right now am using my HTC Sensation so yeah a big upgrade for me.
