asking few questions to legend owner.
between legend and desire, i'm leaning towards legend because of its design.
but snapdragon on desire sounds very tempting...
what do you say legend users? do you experience any lag because of lack of cpu or ram compare to desire?
The desire is more powerful but don't forget that its screen has a higher resolution, in other words it needs more power...
Why I've chosen the legend over the desire?
- First of all the legend has a much better finish than the desire, that looks too "nerd" for me. It looks more like a small computer than a cell phone..
- The legend is very smooth and do not really need more power
-The legend can almost do everything the desire can do but with a better pocket size.
- With a 3,2 screen instead of 3,7 screen, and a worse processor, it think the battery is better.
However, you should take the desire if:
- You really want to watch videos on your device
- You like playing a lot with your device because i think that games are going to require more and more config to run...
Look at the price for both desire & legend, its nearly the same: there is no best phone between them...
=> The legend has one of the best design for a smartphone
=> The desire is the more powerful
Allow me to offer a few pointers. I've got both devices. Desire for myself and the Legend for my wife.
Performance-wise, there's no doubt the Desire edges out the Legend. But the Legend is not 40% slower as the CPU clockspeeds may suggest. You'll encounter the occasional hiccup with the Legend when compared to the Desire, but you probably won't notice it unless you have both devices like I do. I would call this round a draw.
Aesthetically, it's very subjective. When you pull your Legend out, people will be drawn to the aluminum unibody enclosure. When you pull your Desire out, people will be drawn to the large 3.7" screen. I think the Legend looks nicer, but the Desire is in no way "geeky". It looks better in real life than on photos/videos. I'd describe it as more sophisticated looking while the Legend is more sexy.
Surely, you've read/seen reviews of both. See here for my review on the Desire and here for my review on the Legend. I tried to only put down things that were not mentioned or covered extensively by others. And I mentioned a couple of differences that may or may not matter to you.
Personally, I think it comes down to your screen/device size preference.
every time I pull out my legend I always get asked about it. it stands out from the crowd especially being in a country where you cannot buy it in store.
as for lag on the legend, it gets a little bit of lag if you quickly switch between lots of applications but other than that its fine
also if lag is a problem then disabling HTC sense is always an option but then you are limited to 3 home screens
it is a very good looking device tho.

big help from all of you guys......love the look of legend and i think i will go with legend instead of desire unless htc decides to make a legend looking phone with snapdragon processor
i think you will be very happy with it , especially once it is rooted and we can save apps to the sdcard :

Everytime I pull out my Legend in public I get a fine for indecent exposure. But that's for a different forum.
I love my Desire both how it looks and how it performs. Just needs a better battery to really make it the best phone period.
I haven't touched the Desire, so I can only write about the Legend.
In my own opinion:
The Legend looks GREAT, ATTRACTIVE & CLEAN design, & feels SOLID. I get so much compliments about the phone, even old folks, who don't care about phones, think the my phone is very nice looking.
However, the sharp edge on top of the earpiece sometimes hurts my ear.
It performs very well & smooth.
I use the phone MAINLY for calls & text messages. & I don't play & care for games on the phone. Therefore, the Legend's SIZE is PERFECT for me.
The phone has GREAT audio quality, which is nice & clear, & has good battery life.
I read somewhere that says because of the Legend's aluminum case, it doesn't get excellent signal. However, the reception has not let me down yet.
I'm also using HTC Touch Diamond 2, & HTC HD. My house has really bad signal & I have NO PROBLEMS with the Legend, whereas the other 2 get drop calls constantly.
It has 4 plastic buttons that feel REALLY CHEAP. You'll be disappointed with these buttons.
It has some other Cons, but you'll get that with the Desire too, so I won't go there.
I think you should also go to the Desire's board & ask what they like & dislike about the Desire & then make your own decision.
For now, I'm keeping the Legend until I can find a phone suitable for my need.
Cheers,
D
yeah the only real problem with it are the cheap feeling buttons which is a shame but the rest is of a very high quality
legend or desire
i have used nexus one before i got my legend. speed-wise, nexus one is no doubt faster than hero. but when i used legend, it's almost as smooth as the nexus one. also, when you install a lot of apps or put a lot of widgets in the homescreen, there's a tendency to lag. after using the nexus one for 2 months, i would say i like the legend more compared to nexus one. sorry im comparing legend with nexus one instead of desire. they both have the same specs anyway, well majority.

Agreed, traded my nexus for the Legend.
It's a bit slower but nothing that ruins the Android experience.It's till very quick.

nexus one being almost identical to desire, every piece of info helps! thanks
... and something important too: Nexus one is due to be the "first in class" android, so is the most expensive one. Desire is cheaper than Nexus one to avoid confusions in the market. Legend need to be cheaper than Desire due to processor speed. I believe Legend would be more expensive if Nexus and Desire would not be available in the market. So, Legend has a competitive price with an excellent hardware and software configuration.
no doubt you are right. Best device I ever had

week with legend
I been using Legend just about a week.. first phone ever that don't make any kind of hardware sound.. almost every phone that I had and tested even with HD2.. make those hardware movement noise.. this phone is rock solid.. by the look and design.. it's phone, fit in ur hand perfect.. one of the best sound quality phone that I had.. HTC sense and Android.. sense work great.. since this is my first android phone.. I can't tell much about it..I used my bro's Hero about a week. Legend is much faster.. here in US.. 3G service don't work.. but even with Edge,, it's much faster and smoother internet experience than any other phone that I had or tested.. only thing that I don't like about the hardware is the 4button key.. I wish HTC made this with capacitive touch key like the Nexus one or touch HD..
buy the Legend.. it's cheaper than Desire.. also more phone factor than Desire..
if u need super PDA+ huge phone.. buy the Desire..
LOL.. just buy either one.. u'll like it anyhow..

I have used google nexus one and legend (I dumped the nexus one in favour of the legend).
i challenge anyone to say there is a difference in speed
the 7227 is a much improved cpu over the hero/touch pro 2/diamond 2 one etc.
its not just the speed.
I think the cpu is a side issue
the real difference between these two is just the screen resolution.
my 2 cents:
1. most android apps just scale up, so actually look worse on 800x480 (no doubt will get better)
2. you can't actually browse at 800x480 on such a small screen, so its benefit is mostly in smoothing
3. 480x320 video will be smoother. very little the human will gain over 800x480 at this size and 320x480 video files will be smaller.
4. 800x480 screeen uses slightly more battery
5. lower resolutions are here to stay, e.g. HTC Tatto, Sony X10 Mini, etc. only have 240x320 !!!
In summary, whilst 800x480 would be theoretically nicer to have, it makes no difference to me at the moment. the biggest thing I wanted was amoled, which I have got.
You will LOVE the Legend. Its a keeper.
I've got the Legend, because my X10 got swiped.
(Risking OT Compared to the X10, the Legend is much smoother.
However, for me, I may consider the Desire strongly, but simply because I am using a Mac and that the WiFi teether on the Desire makes things a snap for me, especially when I am out of the office.
But otherwise, I do agree that the Legend is a keeper... maybe I'll hand it over to the wife, or to one of my kids.
legend looks super awesome in comparison to the staid desire ..
i want to thank everyone on the great informative reply. i just ordered mine at htcperida can't wait to play with this bad boy!! once again, thanks a lot everyone!!!!
Hi dear,
I own galaxy s and I like it.
After I saw HTC desire hd, I've changed my mind though.
I'm about to sell my phone and going to get the phone ot desire.
Do you think if I will get desire(not hd), is it too late to get it?
Should I wait for desire hd?
I'm tired of the laggy on galaxy s...
13 days till HD is released, thats nothing honestly.
I've been waiting for months =X
@jorkobe23 The only reason you're considering buying a DHD is because of the lag issues on the SGS? If so, why not wait until the end of the month for the SGS update to 2.2 to see if it fixes the lag issues?
It may save you a lot of money to wait, especially since from your post it seems that other than the lag you're happy with your SGS.
nono,
I love sense ui and I want to have bigger screen.
I heard android froyo is optimized for snappgon cpu not hummingbird.
So many people guess even though froyo will release for galaxy s,
the laggy and gps problem will not be solved.
Idree: Haha,
did you sell your galaxy s?
wait for the DHD, its will be on stock very soon, until the 22th.
dono, for me anyway the SGS is not the real thing, no cm for that device yet, and dono, its made like plastic.

if you want a bigger screen i wouldn't go for the desire because that has a 3.7" screen which is smaller than your current phone, which is 4" the desire hd will have a screen of 4,3"
Desire HD advantages:
- updated graphics GPU (faster 3d games performance)
- bigger screen 4.3 vs 3.7inch
- 8MP camera with real 720p recording vs 5MP and broken 720p
- more RAM and more internal storage (internal is no issue on desire with A2SD+)
- Full aluminum body
- new sense
Desire advantages
- Slimmer, lighter and easier to operate in one hand
- Higher screen density (252dpi vs 233dpi)
- AMOLED or SLCD (Sexier colors and blacks then standard LCD on the HD with better viewing angle)
- semi aluminum frame
- new sense is on the way (either officially or by xda)
i'm personally in love with my dense SLCD screen and slim body, so i wait for the next desire, praying for 4inch version
Haha Thanks for useful information, hamdir.
Hm... I think I should go desire HD cos I heard desire has had multi touch problem, right?

a slight multi touch problem, the desire is dual touch, i'm not facing any issues with games like hero of sparta and emulators
the issue appears with FPS like games for example where you might keep one finger still on the movement buttons and aim with the other
in games like heavy gunner where you have to dual control both left and right guns i faced no issues and i've enjoyed that game
as for the interface no problems, pinch to zoom works perfectly
but yes your right if that is a concern go with the HD (i'm not sure if multi touch is confirmed), the HD is more suited to games anyway because of the much faster GPU
for me i compared the HD2 usage to Desire usage and the size was unfortunatly an issue for me
Ok.. so I'm in the same situation here... and I can't make up my mind between the 2 phones ....
I've read this whole forum and also looked at the 20 best mobile phones at techradar - The original desire is still at number 1.
I like the big screen. I am basically in front of a pc the whole day .. So I can pretty much charge the phone anytime.
So I would like some input from fellow xda users ... which is the best to go for? Desire or Desire HD?

I have a Desire and just got the DHD last week. The DHD doesn't seem like a big enough upgrade over the Desire for me personally and I prefer the more compact size of the desire.
If I didn't already have the Desire, I would be happy with the DHD on it's merits.
@Cranzy: my opinion is that if you don't mind the extra 4mm height and 8mm width, if you don't mind the touch buttons and don't need the optical trackball, if you don't mind the maybe little lower battery life (on other side, on first run i still have 52% battery after nearly 12 hour run, so it looks like a full day with a bit higher usage than usual for me), then go for Desire HD. I got it yesterday, and it's impossible to compare with my old Milestone, the speed is like from a different planet .
Thanks for the info... Think I'm much more leaning towards the Desire HD ...
Ok... the more i read the forum here .. the more I'm thinking Im gonna make the wrong choice by moving to the desire HD and that I should rather be moving to the normal desire ... maybe I should go start reading the normal desire forums ...
Each phone has probably got their own problems...
Will future firmware updates fix most of these little nagging problems ..?
I am upgrading here from HTC diamond .. so both desire or desire HD is a major upgrade ...
Is everybody still saying I should go for the desire HD?
It all depends what you want, but don't forget that graphical performance of HTC Desire is ~50% of the Desire HD or Z.
I really like the big screen and htcsense feature ... i don't mind the battery ... just been reading about the sensor and camera issues ...
Im still leaning towards the Desire HD though
I'm on my second day of my dhd not totally sure if I'm keeping it . Love the screen size and battery life . But its not that much of an upgrade from my desire and I do like the amoled screen better on the desire .

I gathered from the forums that if you are coming from the desire .. the upgrade isn't really worth it... but for me coming from htc diamond ... it will be
To be honest they are both great phones . Very tempted to keep the hd but will live with my desire till something a bit better comes along or my desire goes faulty . But never the less the hd is a class phone if your coming from something totally different .

Is it worth it? I have a nice offer to buy a Desire HD afterwards I would sell my normal Desire.
My issue is if its worth the upgrade and the extra money? I really like the bigger screen from the Desire HD but the development is not as advanced as on the normal Desire.
Rooting and S-Off is apparently harder than on the normal desire and I dont see many roms on the development section.
I know the device is pretty new and this will come as time goes by.
Just post your thoughts what would you do.
Upgraded to DHD from wildfire here and got addicted to the HD screen. Totally worth it..
Easy S-Off with Easy Radio tool v2_2 and rooting with visionary. Mine asia 1.72 but no problem rooting it.
I had the Wildfire also the wildfire has a crapy display no match for the desire amoled display that I am on right now.
If I had the wildfire I would do it right away but from desire to desire hd is the upgrade not all that stunning.
Still I love the 4,3" screen and the looks of the new desire HD. But technicaly is it worth it?

i just bought a desire HD, im still deciding if i should sell my desire, the main reasons im upgrading is the bigger nand on the HD and the multi touch, im sick of the crappy axis flipping on the desire i hope its worth it
Thanks I already tested the HD2 and the Desire HD and I like the bigger screen much better. The swap wouldnt cost me that much.
Had desire and swapped for hd. Totally worth it. Bigger internal memory (finally can install whatever I want without worrying about space) bigger screen which in my case is not a deal breaker. Multitouch its not 5 point touch but does the job nicely. Try game "slice it" on normal desire and hd difference is incomparable. And I know it's going to sound funny battery. It last longer than on normal desire with superpower app. Ohh and ability to swap sim without taking battery. There are some flaws but they are small and I got use to it. Which is quite could not say about normal desire...

I am lucky enough to have both.
Had my desire for about 4 months before i got the dhd and i was very impressed ... the difference between the two phones is alot more noticeably than what i anticipated.
Hardware wise it is definitely worth it, my battery life seems to be the same on both devices.
At the moment i use the dhd as my full-time phone, i am by no means in a hurry to root or start playing around with the software, for me as an 'out-of-the-box' phone its perfect.
I rooted my desire within a month of getting it and havnt looked back since ... at the moment its my favorite toy as i basically do as much to it as possible!
I came from a nexus one running a sense port which is practically a desire for all intents and purposes. I upgraded because of the camera, the bigger flash memory (apps2sd is far from an ideal fix) and the locations software. Not everyone likes locations but I've found it very good.
I don't think the battery is that much worse than the nexus one, it lasts me thru the day with plenty to spare on most occasions and I recharge every night.
The phone is also noticeably faster it has more RAM and a better gpu.
At the time of purchase the size of the HD wasn't a selling point. I remember looking at it in the shop and thinking it was a bit too big. Now I've grown to love the big screen, it just makes touch input that much more accurate. Thankfully its nicely curved and thin so it doesn't feel that much bigger in my pocket.
I would say go for it - you will still get a good resale price for the desire so you won't be out of pocket as much as it may seem.

so what would be a better choice thanks
i like the htc but that screen from samsung look good
what do you guys think
They are both nice devices. Here is a quick comparison I found that could be useful to you http://blog.etech.com/2011/01/20/nexus-s-vs-htc-desire-hd-review/
I prefer the Nexus S over the Desire HD primarily due to battery life. HTC as much as I love their products don't seem to place very much emphasis on a lasting battery. HTC Sense is nice feature but it does come with a small performance cost.

I have both. The Desire HD's advantages are the big screen and more powerful browsing ability (less lag with Flash and heavy sites). Some people will also prefer the SD card slot instead of the 16MB internal storage found on the Nexus S.
However, on the Desire HD the external speaker has low volume and tinny sound, the GPS is slow to lock, and the video capture is typical HTC mediocre quality. Plus the lack of front-facing camera on the Desire HD may be important to some people.
Neither.

Come back and post your opinions and experience. It's good to see people do head to head comparisons and find out which they prefer.
Personally, I didn't get the chance to do a direct comparison, but after playing with the Desire HD in the store, I was put off a bit. I know it has mediocre battery life, the screen/body is too big for my tastes, and I don't really care for the aluminum body. It didn't seem like much of an upgrade from my Desire. So I tried the Motorola Atrix and although it has excellent hardware, the software is just pitiful and slow (terrible for a dual-core). So I waited for the HTC Incredible S to arrive, and again I was not really impressed and felt it wasn't much of an update. That left me with the Nexus S, and to be honest I don't like the Samsung Galaxy line at all, mediocre performance and ugly UI. Yet this is a nice phone, really nice. It was all the positive reviews and comments online that swayed me...I'm glad I waited for it and so far it has been really good with great battery life. And "vanilla android" is a treat - factory unlocked, fast and consistent, and I've downloaded all the widgets I liked on the HTC phones.
I'm a happy camper with the Nexus S.
Another thing,
If you don't like Sense UI you can flash CyanogenMod on your HD. It is pretty stable.
One thing I really hated about Sense on the HD was the 5-second lag that happened whenever you delete an appointment in its calendar app.
I actually prefer my Nexus S now, no big issues to complain about yet.
Due to new events, I will recommend you wait for the Sensation

The browsing thing is mainly because HTC implemented Hardware acceleration to some degree, nut if you download Opera Mobile 11 from Android Market its even smoother than HTC's implementation.
And actually the Sd card thing didn't bother me at all, since i never switched Sd cards when i had my hero, and this thing has more memory too ^^

Yeah I know about the hardware acceleration but I have faith that this feature will be added to the Nexus S eventually. Opera Mobile was an okay workaround but the app itself is unstable. Skyfire also works well.

Well it looks like my dhd will out of the window at the end of the month.
Was going to get the htc one x but just looked at the sg3
And hello to the Samsung Galaxy III
Just been watching the launch of it and looks nice what do you think of it guys?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191
Well it looks like its a step up from the DHD.
I would really go with One x, since it has 100 mhz faster CPU and has geforce instead of old Mali 400 (SGS III)
SGS3 was a disappointment for me.
-pentile screen
-still a hardware button
-seems too big
-hardware isn't that impressive compared to current smartphones
User of DHD
Hi,
I am not an expert in phones, however, using the Desire HD for the last year and a half got me to appreciate the efforts were put into it by HTC. The UI is very user friendly and I love all the aspects of the phone.
Since most of our life style and coping up with technology is now becoming expensive as there are tons of phones coming out like every month or two, one have to really evaluate the need for change. I currently have the same question that you are having, should I upgrade and to what?
Galaxy S3. Nope, I don't think so, after understanding the premium quality and feel of HTC, there is something about them that always keeps me attracted to them, not to mention how specs packed is the One X is.
Since HTC is promising ICS for my DHD and since it is in a great condition, I will wait before I upgrade to the One X. Let's see what updates we will get with the DHD.
Sorry if this reply is too long. Just thought it will help.
I wouldn't buy the sg III just because of the pentile screen. Also i think that the back cover looks way too cheap.

That seems to be the only positive point in SGS III compared to htc one x
EDIT: After reading this i would change my statement above and go on saying that this article states that the CPU used in SGS III is actually faster than tegra 3 but despite the fact that it is using the old MALI 400, overall it puts itself below HTC One x. But i don't think you'll be disappointed by both of the phones so now the choice is upto you.

-Bloated and (imho) ugly software, with sooo many stuff that i will never use.
-Screen may be too big. I already had the One X in my hands and i'm not sure i could live with it. I have medium size hands but certain actions just arent comfortable..
One X has the same screen size probem, less not exchangable battery and only 32gb memory (i need more).
Soo i have an update in September but i really wouldnt know what to get at this point... I think the Huawei Ascend D quad XL looks veeery promising. Vanilla ICS, huge battery, 4.5", but its the first superphone from them soo... Its really not that easy atm imho. 6 months ago i would have said SGS II all the way.
