Which you guys think is better?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Xperia Arc is off the menu straight away because it is a Sony Ericsson phone. I had an X10 once and that was a bad enough experience to keep me away forever.
Nexus S isn't bad but I don't need NFC, you can't run Sense on it, and development section in general seems a little bland. The lack of a micro sd slot is also annoying. In its defence it has great (for a smart phone) battery life, 16 gb of rom (much faster than an sd card, and front facing camera (not that need one). It has less ram than desire hd and a lower resolution camera.
Desire HD wins. It has the most ram, highest resolution camera, full metal body, and the killer - Sense. Also Leedroid has this phone. Victory by KO.

Having said that Desire HD FTW .
You should try them all in a shop because nobody knows what kind of smartphone you want to have.
I ony can say that I'm very happy with my HTC Desire HD.

imo, samsung are going to run the smartphone market for the foreseeable future, just because of the innovation of the company, htc's devices are same old same old, where as samsung has just developed a brand new display called samoled plus, a new type of superfast ddr2 ram, a brand new chipset to replace the hummingbird, ive also seen reports there working on a 250gb nand chip looks like it's samsung that have been quietly brilliant, while HTC was acting cocky lol

Hardware wise it rocks. Unfortunately Motorola Blur is terrible. If it don't get some aosp custom rom living it's dead in the water as far as I'm concerned.

Does DHD has gingerbread? And how easy is it to put rom on DHD? Cause once I tried to put rom on my wife's desire. I messed the motherboard. Luckily telus repair for me put new motherboard. I have x10 I never bricked it. *knock on wood* lol
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
if you can read, and fallow simple instructions, like: press and hold button or type that... it's pretty hard to brick this devices, but of course, there is always a chance...
official gingerbread with sense is coming in q2, in anycase you can flash it with cm7, i used it for a while, but i really missed sense... =o)
If u love sense, of course buy a htc device....but I 'd prefer incredible S, since it's a desireHD with a plastic cover (metal it's fragile, can peel and it's a mess at the first fall) and it's got a slcd screen.
I own a dhd and I want to sell it as soon as possible in order to buy an amoled nexusS.
main problem of dhd is how it sux on basic functions. I use h3g as provider, that works on umts, and my dhd is 50% on roaming on gsm tim, so I can't use internet connection...whereas my stupid dummy 80€ huawei ideos sports a strong antenna and never goes on roaming.
another problem for me is the battery. sense roms have a kernel that doesnt drain battery, but I love cyanogen roms...and they drain battery.
wot about loudspeaker and screen? loudspeaker is completely crap, try to use navigator while driving a car with open windows...
lcd is washed out comparing to slcd and amoled....
I know that these basic functions are improved on nexusS...only thing I 'll miss, it's notification led, but I know it's an amoled and it's possible to display such a notification pixel on the black screen while saving battery.
other brand, is better don't think about them...they all have strong hardware with very bad user experience. and I think it's better don't run on a dual core for a while
my two penny'th worth..
1. SE - dont make me laugh sony hate consumers, they want to tell you what you can do with your device and dont even think about rooting it only one thing I can say to this option "46 DC EA D3 17 FE 45 D8 09 23 EB 97 E4 95 64 10 D4 CD B2 C2"
2. Nexus S - feels like a cheap plastic toy, no SD slot, that'll make sticking a custom rom on interesting, the rest of the specs make it sound like a downgrade from the SGS
3. DHD - a no brainer to my mind, there are no hardware issues with my device speaker etc are fine it's by and away the best phone i've ever had and i cant see a device on the immeadiate horizon that could get it out of my hands
Thanks Bro for changing my mind was gonna wait for atrix. Does DHD custom rom do copy and paste?

hi guys,
i'm new to this forum..currently, i'm doing some research for SNS as i'm going to make a choice between this device or other HTC devices. Regrettable choice is intolerable! I was totally confuse really. I heard there are some recognizable problems with SNS such as no LED notification, no fm radios, bad compass and etc. So i would like to ask, whether this phone is worth to grab, and what make it so special compare to other phone?
i'm using a lot of gps for navigation, and i used to sync a lot to fb and my google account, and imap for e-mail is very crucial for me. USB Thetering or bluetooth tethering is available here? i used to chase custom roms when i was with my htc phones before for performance improvement. Sometimes, i made a good time playing games from my phone to release tension. so does this phone still worth for me?
if there's anyone coming from DHD, did you satisfied migrating to SNS?
Thanks
I'm coming from dhd and i am pretty satisfied...
Dhd battery is awful and the screen is really bad too. I really dont care about the fm lack, i never used it in my old phones. And for led notification i use bln and it works just fine.
Dhd is too big, and despite htc's fame for making devices with good materials, i really dont like dhd build construction, my volume button doesn't last three months, also my power button. The speaker is really low and in call volume isn't the best thing either.
I really like my nxs, sure i miss some things from dhd (like the ram amount), but the overall experience is really better...
edit: ah, the thing i really miss is the browser. Nexus browser is simply pathetic when compared to dhd one

Gps is outstanding. All tethering is available. The nexus is a great choice as it seems to do everything better. I came from htc. The pure ginger bread feels like what other phones work towards. The custom roms are the most stable you will find. The phone is sexy with a curved screen and completely blacked out. I use gps every single day and always locks instantly. Over clocking makes it perform better than dual core, with out all the bugs of tegra.(still new) I have no regrets, fits perfect in pocket and sitting down doesn't feel like it will break in the pocket since the phones screen hugs your leg from the curve. Personally the size its great not rediculously large or too small, very classy to show off. And no lag...ever . If you want some extra features go with decks rom, it integrates cm7 features with fantastic bagreet life and a stock feel ..which is a very good thing on the nexus.

Came from a Desire Z and Desire, the NS still feels snappier and gives more battery life. The only thing HTC has a upper hand on is the browser which is the best on any mobile platform! Sense is good but it really bogs down the system, plus it's just pure eye candy especially with sense 3.0

I've had my NS for about 3 months now, and all flaws it had has been fixed.
Since this was my first smartphone, I don't know if my opinion really is of that much weight, but I love my phone, it's simply put amazing.
The screen is incredible.
The build quality doesn't leave anything to be desired.
The ROMs available are awesome.
The... eh screw that, it's just awesome in every aspect.
I can guarantee you this: you will NOT be disappointed.
Oh, and welcome to the NS forums

cant wait to get the phone delivered. still, have to wait till end of this month
but, you guys are so friendly..i would be happy to join this community
I didn't come from a Desire HD but I have played with a Desire, and a Desire HD and personally owned a Xperia x10, and a Samsung Captivate...and recently bought an xperia Arc and traded it yesterday for a Nexus S.
The Nexus S is miles better than all the phones I listed above. Its just so fast and smooth...one word that comes to mind is slick. The build quality is amazing, the device is the most comfortable device I have ever used. Calling, texting, and web browsing is amazing and better than all listed above. I love this phone and think you will be very happy with it.
I know from now on the only Android device I will ever own is the Nexus line of phones, and they are googles baby so you'll always be looked after : )
hurrmmmm...sry for bumping up this thread..by the way, currently, I've been looking for i9020 but seems, it was pretty rare in malaysia..and if there is, the price was like +-300 for one amoled screen!! so guys, is it really worth it to aim for amoled, or i could just take i9023 for super clear lcd? hurmm
I also looked into nexus s , coming from desire and all htc bull**** with updates. How is screen in nexus s? Its not gorilla , easy to scratch? Also battery life? What about rom space , can we use all 16 gb or are there partitions? Thanx guys

Easy question.
Taking into consideration, power, reliability, build quality and possibility of future software updates. Wich of this phones. do you recommend to someone who is going to use the phone with official firmware only, no ROMS.
And if possible, the whys ;-)

Easy Galaxy S2 as it's faster without any of the sense bloatware and it's pretty much the best phone out there, so why settle for second best?
BUT if you like sense then go for the sensation.
And PS you came to a Galaxy S 2 forum so expect the answers to be biased!
Well i can tell you now that i had to send 4 sensations back for letting dust in under the screen. I was selling this gs2 and im glad i didn't, got so frustrated with the sensations that i popped the seal and have been using it ever since. Also when the sensation gets the sticky ring as i call it you will get that frustrated you may end up launching it at a wall

I've played with the Sensation...I'm a fan of Sense and HTC devices altogether along with their features.
I now own a GS2 and I can honestly say, it's better than HTC Sensation.
Simple Answer, GS II
The GS2 is undoubtely the best smartphone available there is simply no comparison,read the many online reviews for yourself.
Galaxy s II of course,,,,, as some1 already said it,,,if u can have the best y settle for the 2nd best

galaxy s2 is better in everything (excluding sense 3.0 )
sensation is heavier..much heavier..metal is not made for phones..galaxy s2 plastic is very high quality...
screen has high resolution but is a very poor quality lcd..can not compare with the s amoled plus..no way..
ram is less and no internal ext4 storage..no sd cart can be faster than internal memory so galaxy s 2 will always be faster...
battery is 1500..galaxy s2 with the battery drain sorted can last much more..

The unlock ring to unlock the phone gets very unresponsive, to the point it can take 5 or more attempts to unlock. Then once in you can launch an app then hit back button and that is unresponsive for upto 5 -9 seconds.
I just call it sticky ring as that's just how it feels

Owned both and I stuck with the GS2 its much better. Sensation may feel nice in the hand but the death grip is very real so it went back.
Gs2 is simply the best on the market now.

Its "quality feel" isn't so much any more. The volume rocker has fallen off a few, dust gets under the screen, the power button's crooked, the back cover's delaminating, and there's display touch issues (may be software). If you read their forum, it's not a happy place.
P.S. - The SGS2 is more than the Sensation, at least in the U.K.
My Sensation works perfectly as does my SGS2. I've had ever dual core device currently out including the Evo3d (which IMO is better than the Sensation). That being said, there are devices than their is the SGS2. It's not only the best Android device available, but may be the best device currently on the market.
I choose the GS2, had no regrets.

Hi,
I will answer your question under two main thoughts.
1. Having used HTC already and nothing but HTC:
I have been an HTC person since day one. I owned the XDA,PDA2K,Tytn II,HTC HD2
Always seen HTC as a good phone, however I did have several hardware problems with them. (XDA,PDA2k none, but the PDA2k keyboard got very loose). Tytn II, one day I was using my phone and it reset, when It turned on again, the RAM available was 0. Basically I had a phone that was "read only". Could not save anything on it, not even the call log, however it used to make calls I had to change the memory chip in it to make it work again. HTC HD2, same problem happened once and after around 1.5 years of usage, the touch screen started to become buggy. I thought it was a software problem until finally the touch screen died after around 3 month of the initial symptoms. I did not fix it, I just sold it as is... I know two friends of mine who have had the same touch screen problems with the HD2.
2. HTC sensation vs. SG2:
I am the chief software specialist at telephone.com. So you can imagine that I am a hardcore developer and a very advanced user. I read over 50 pages worth of detailed reviews between the 2 phones and I must say, SG2 got the favor, always and the comparison wasn't close, Just a small recap: Wifi is better (has N), 3G speed is faster,Camera is better (both front and back), the front being the only one with 2MP in the market, most of them are VGA. Battery better, screen much better (although the resolution on the Sensation is slightly higher). GPS lock was faster during the reviews I read. Hardware in SG2 includes active noise cancellation or whatever it is called, should make your voice calls better quality.SG2 is faster (benchmarking). Memory is more, with built in 16GB and still with the possibility of sd card...
Joining these two thoughts, I decided to try out Samsung, I have never owned samsung phone before.
I have it now for around 1.5 month and the phone is simply excellent, flawless. The only problem with it was the "Wireless sharing" application that runs in the background sometimes and drains ur battery quickly. I developed the habit of killing the process after turning off wifi as I did not root my phone yet and not planning to unless I feel the urgent need for that.I think this process only starts if it detects "DLNA devices" (or Allshare devices) on the wifi, which I do have in my home. Also if I use it heavily, It tends to warm up to an above average level, I wonder if this would cause hardware problems in the long run... I usually let it rest my turning it off or exiting the CPU intensive application.
As for the plus side of using a samsung:
-Screen is excellent, beats the LCD very easily
-Being very lightweight, at first you do feel the "cheap feeling" as we are trained to feel it robust/reliable when a phone feels heavy. But after using it for sometime, especially long phone calls, I fell in love with how light it is. after 10-15 min of talking you don't feel you have a phone on your ear, which is a feeling I never had with any other phone before.
-Battery life: better
-After using touchwiz4 and getting used to it, I now like it more than the HTC Sense. The main reason behind this is that, while it may not be the best looking (but it will grow on you), interface is very smart/practical. I could intuitively find my way around the phone and using it, it is like the interface was designed for me Lots of thoughts went into making it practical when using it, even small things that the end user misses or dismisses as not important, takes lots of thought by the designers of the phone.
-The SG2 could have used dual flash for the camera, I miss this from the HD2, since sometimes at night, it does come in handy and I do feel I miss the extra light...
I hope this post makes it clearer for you to decide
I think SG2 is an excellent phone, it can easily change you from the HTC train to Samsung in no time, at least it happened to me
Best of Luck in your choice, although there is really not much room for luck in choosing, just be smart

And not enough ram is also a big problem

Waiting for the Nexus Prime, and dont want to get a slow phone again.....
I find the legend to be a great phone. Not the fastest phone but it gets the job done in a small metallic package. I'm afraid we will not see to many 3.2 inch phones in the future...the trend is really big displays now. I guess i'll just have to settle with 3.7 inch.

Guys, this Phone is 1,5 years old. It´s just outdated.
Although, Htc built it for Design Users, not for Power Users. Legend has one of the best looking case of all phones.
Just changed to HTC sensation, which also has a unibody frame, last week.

I love my Legend, It's better than my wifes Wildfire and more stylish than the other phones. Best of all, it's mine and I can do what I want too it and it does what I require just as well as my friends Desire HD or sensation, the difference is theirs is a bit quicker
HTC need to come out with the Legend S in a few months, I think it should have these specs: 4.3"/4.5" screen, 2Ghz quad core, 1Gb Ram, 32Gb on board with SD slot for more, along with the usual wifi/BT/Radio etc
That'll make it a Legendary phone

Darn you all
Problem with being in Canada is that it's one of the most expensive countries for a cell phone plan in the world. We don't have 2-year contracts, our max is 3. And if you try to land on a 1- or 2-year committment, it wouldn't be as economically wise as to buy it outright, which I did, but regret.
Wildfire S here is $250, Galaxy Gio is $70, Legend was bought for $400. Oh noes. So that means I'll be lugging this device here for another year after you all move on (it's no-contract, but it's the prime time where I actually earn enough cash to actually spend it on another mobile device).
Unless, you know, I win the lottery.
I disagree. Legend is a great phone.
Do not think rooting a Legend is hard challenge. The custom ROMs are also very good.
Not to mention the design - the aluminium block is one of the best smartphone exterior I have ever seen!
And the display size - it's not the biggest in the smartphone portfolio, but it's still pocket size, which I think is great. After all, I want phone, not tablet for my jeans..
I've had my Legend for 10 months now, Best ruddy phone I've ever owned, I've owned about 12-13 phones over the past 10 years, this one is the best, "for me". It may not be the fastest phone, it may not have the most memory, it may not have the biggest screen, it doesn't have a dual core, but thats fine by me.
When I got my phone, I really loved HTC sense, Eclair and Froyo, which I loved even more, how ever, now that I have rooted my phone and seen what's out there in the way of alternative roms, I must now admit, the stock HTC with sense rom really lets this phone down, hell, Blay0's rooted version of Froyo is awesome.
My opinion is at the end of the day, the hardware is great and it really all comes down to the ROM, and the stock HTC is a bit of a fail....
Oh BTW, the physical size of the Legend is also a winner for me, my wife has a desire HD, ruddy thing doesn't even fit in my hand comfortabily!
I have my Legend over a year and its (except a small screen) the realy legend! its survived a lot of thig, with a two scratches only on the body.
now i have HD2, and now take care to not fall even with two feet :S
Legend isn't bad, it's just an old mid-range phone ...
it has everything I need for my daily activities in addition to handy size.
I don't need anything better for now.

iphones have a lot to answer for,i had this discussion with someone the other day though who has iphone 4..
the end of the arguement was
iphones for people who want an easy phone,everythings ready to go out of the box..easy to use and dont really need to do much(so sheep if we are getting down to it)
android is for geeks.Android phones are pretty simple as well but then taken up a level to development of the o/s
ios isnt open source,bit like a heavily guarded fortress..just in case someone actually does something to it..that makes people want to stop buying every version they release whilst the actualy operating system hardly changes... lol
xda is a pure reflection of...a geek loving site.
Don't forget that the iPhone is also for games..
But imo the smart thing to do is to get yourself an iPad gaming purposes, and pack an Android for everything else
Well I'm a geek and a tech junkie, and no other mobile OS has been able to deliver the flexibility nor the customization like Android..

Same here.
I really love my Android for its flexibility and usability.
I can do so much with it, my girlfriend is jealous on my phone
What I'll be looking for when i decide to replace my dhd are the following:
-Improved battery life
-Quad core
-SAMOLED at least 4"
-Min. 16GB internal memory with memory card slot
-Physical qwerty keyboard (i just prefer a slide-out keyboard)
-Front-facing cam
I know I'm being too demanding--and maybe too optimistic--but imo the specs above can easily be packed into the next HTC..
What do you think?

Well, i still couldn't decide what's for after DHD.. Damn, this phone is already 2 years old and still lots of thing happenning for this phone. Thinking about keeping it for another 1-2 years.
Well, i love galaxy note, but at the same time, i hate the plastic feels. i love iphone4, but the OS sux..
Maybe a 5" screen with aluminium unibody design that's all it takes. Single core or multi core, i don't care, as long as it's snappy.
Still loving my DHD though.
The Dhd isn't old at all..I wouldn't even class the desire old be honest...only classed ad old because New phones released all the time so its phone life in commercial not actual phone life!
Having a LG cookie is being old or tocco...etc
