i'd go with the desire hd for sure.. sad thing is, i'm not sure when it will come out on TMOUS, if it would even come out.. so i settled for MT4G, whish isn't really that bad.. i just like the looks on the desire hd, and of course the big screen..

that's why this is hypothetical question, it looks like all the features are the same with these phones but there are key differentiators like battery life, screen size, track pad, and ofcourse the stock froyo. So, I thought I would ask which ones people prefer over the other.

Well....maybe you want to specify in a little bit more details, what your requirements are.
Do you need a keyboard, do you want performance, does size matter, etc...?

hmm, looks like you already chose

I dont like desire Z due to its mechanical design for the flip..its look like easy to break after u use to flip it many time..i use to have N95 nokia which flip type..after 1 year use it, the reben wiring below display had tear off..even after change new reben, its only can last for 6 month for its to tear off again..twice change reben same problem..that reason i dont like mechanical design..i now use dhd n really satistify with it

I haven't decided as yet. My requirements basically are good looking phone with good internet browsing and which could play movies.

well
desire z
pros
better screen not so washed out
can overclock to1.9ghz but i think dhd can do that in no time
better battery life ( i think)
Cons
hinge problem although not everyone is having this problem
desire HD
Pros
bigge screen
more popular than desire z in my opinion so will have more custom roms
Cons
washed out screen
battery life

Are you sure about the desire Z being overclocked to 1.9ghz as it has only got a 800mhz processor to start with instead of the 1ghz in the dhd?

Its true,
The difference is noone has tried to push the DHD into "dangerous" voltages yet.
Probably due to the price.

Amazing!! I wouldnt have thought that was possible on the face of it!
Tell ya what, it looks like as ones get a bit more adventurous with the dhd we will have a lot to look forward to development and overclocking wise!

I have an HD but played with the Z keyboard for a short time and was really impressed with it. The best physical keyboard I have ever used on a smartphone. It made me realise the limitations of soft keyboards - even the excellent soft keyboard on the HD. It looked a nice piece of kit too. Can't comment on its battery but I can confirm that the HD's battery is utter ****e.

Here's a link that explains the differences, but basically DesireHD is almost exactly like the HD2...if has a 4.3" screen and similar body style. The DesireZ has a 3.7" screen and a slide out keyboard. Both Android versions are basically the same, though. At least in my experience with the MDJ DesireHD and the dandiest DesireZ builds, I see no difference other than the dandiest build being faster and smoother and almost perfect.
DesireHD vs. DesireZ

what about landscape Sense? does Desire Z have it?

dan's desire z build is faster coz its overclocked.
you'll need to do a side by side comparison on both being overclocked to the same speed to really see.
that being said,i've tried dan's build.its smooth and faster.less glitchy.but i didn't overclock mdj's DHD build,so i cannot say for sure if it will be the same on the same clockspeed.

Yes it does have landscape sense with g sensor

Personal experience: ced's Desire HD2's keyboard has directional buttons, whereas dan's Desire Z counterpart hasn't got those...

[Q] new phone

hi all...
i m looking forward to buy a new android phone. i have 3 options.
1. HTC Desire
2. HTC HD2
3. Samsung Galaxy S I9000
can u help me choose please? which one u think is better and why?

desire/hd2, i prefer the desire though, hd2 has a lot of stuff going on around in dev, flash like crazy haha (im not a flashaholic), but then again it is fun to try out quad-boot os on your phone, id just stick with android though
Galaxy s = iphone knock off plus crap build quality and lag.

Nah... Desire is old... IMO if you want a Desire you might as well get a Nexus One. But I'm a geek
edit: Then again, here I am with a Wildfire so I shouldn't talk.

Oooooh you were sticking to the OP's choices. lol

hd2 provides you with a bigger screen but with less color compare to desire... hd2 has also a newer processor, but his running wm... I would take hd2 and flash it to run android...

Galaxy s may be the best on paper but its laggy. If you want to mod it go for the hd2. If you want an official gingerbread update go 4 the desire

lol.... yeah i limited the choice to these 3 phones, because cellphones are are really expensive here in Pakistan.
i sold my wildfire for 20K, and HD2 will cost me 27k, Desire and galaxy round about 30k. (my budget wont allow me to go higher)

Desire. Friend got one, and, its pretty amazing. Seems to literally get hot though.
(Although, after comparing his stock ROM, and mine with CM7 and ADW Launcher EX, he feels my phone is far smoother and faster than his. hint hint. )

Yeah I know someone who has a Desire and feels rooted/overclocked/CM7 wildfire is smoother

Samsung is officially going gingerbread on sgs ,I have an sgs but it's bricked apart from that I'd say go for the galaxy put a good jacket on it you'll never think of how it feels again + trust me you will thank yourself once it's "pimped",max it out you'll see.......

Buy either the wildfire s or galaxy s2.

thank you all for the comments.
after reading the comments, i have decided to for HTC Desire.

Desire HD ROM?

Is there a Desire HD Rom anywhere for the G2?? I know there is a Desire S ROM.. but I would imagine that's not about the same as the HD rom?

There is absolutely no need to be a ****. Did you get this far (in your apparent superior knowledge) without ever asking a question? And have you as a human being ever asked a stupid question? Id bet money you have. And to my knowledge there is no Desire HD rom out currently. cheers!

Aha...How nice. Am not sure if there is one out but try out magics disire S port. Really nice rom

I might be wrong here, but I thought the Desire Z and Desire HD stock ROMs were identical (from a features viewpoint). I've got the Desire Z and my friend has a Desire HD and whilst I'm now on CM7, her HD looks/feels exactly like my Z did (well a little bit quicker probably because of the bigger CPU)
They launched about the same time and were both originally the only ones which could use htcsense.com as well so realistically if you're just looking for a Sense ROM for your G2 I would just suggest Virtuous (which to me felt like the stock ROM, but a million times better) or one of the other DZ ROMs. Hope this is of some help!

What diff in HD rom?

Well it might be the same sense but you would still need to port it. Remember Disire Z has a keyboard and HD does not.

You mean the Desire HD and the Desire Z, I think.
Desire S is Gingerbread.

there is a desire hd gingerbread sense rom, but its exactly the same as the desire s rom. no point in porting it.

Maybe you're used to other forums or blogs or something, but try not to be a jerk here at XDA.
