well i want to make sure before i buy the phone
You can use the Desire HD if it is unlocked on 2G and EDGE not 3G due to the difference in frequencies

I love 4.3" screens like the desire hd has and my hd7. I love ther 4g capibilities my g2 has. In the US they don't sell desire hds. I found a guy on craigslist who's willing to trade me his desire hd plus 150 cash for my hd7 and g2? It wouldn't be that big off a deal but it'll run edge because it doesn't have US 3g. Is it worth it, or can I just get a hd2 and it'll be the same thing.

Why not just get the mytouch 4g instead? Apart from screen size and MT4 has FF Camera its exactly the same and at least you will get US 3g.
We all must agree the mt4g is the ugliest phone other then the htc magic

4g ? So this means it is diffirent hardware? Like the difference betwn gsm and cdma?

It's still GSM but supports the upcoming 4G LTE. It should work on European networks, but only at 2G speeds, just like the DHD works on US GSM networks.

Why not just release Desire HD for the whole world? Why restrict it to EU and then make a slightly different one with a different name for US? Weird... s:
Because North Americans like to be "unique"
Is not us north Americans who want to be unique, In this case AT&T wants to have its way as always and restrict the phone and add their usual brand crap. If only HTC would sell it US VERSION UNLOCKED I would pay 600 for it.
I think the mentality is different in the US. People don;t usually buy SIM free phones at the full price there. Most get locked in a contract in which you get a free phone.
Moreover, the US uses different 3G bands than the rest of the world (except Telstra).
HTC Inspire (AT&T) is in FACT a Desire HD (ACE).
There will be plenty of good firmware available for it, including CM7.

The inspire is not a desire HD, for starters its a 4G device, so it will need totally diffrent radios, as for roms, i wouldnt be suprised if it had a revised hardward setup meaning it will need its own roms...

I made a trip up to Canada and went in to a cell store to see what kind of phones they have in Canada compared to in the US and I have the Inspire right now and I saw a desired HD and picked it up and could not tell a difference between the two besides the back where the HTC logo is compared to the ATT logo. Is there a difference between the phones or is it one is "4g" and the other is not.
Thanks
No there isnt, not at all.jsut the carrier and the name of course.
But I wanted the htc logo too instead of the at&t one...
Yes there are differences:
Inspire has a S-LCD screen - Desire HD has normal LCD!
4 GB storage - Desire has 1 GB storage
Inspire has a secondary mic for noise canceling - Desire has not!
Desire HD has also super-lcd.

Unless htc changed it the desire hd only has LCD.
Desire HD also has s-lcd. And the Desire HD has 1.5GB of internal memory. The inspire has 4GB. Other than the logo everythiong else is exactly the same. And my Telus DHD also has the secondary mic. I believe the newer DHD models do now. The Telus DHD and Inspire have same the North American 3G bands unlike the European version.
The Inspire does not have 4g internal memory, thats what At&t says but it only has 1 gb.

Only 1gb is user accessable, the rest is reserverd for the os. Taking a look at the ruu its almost its 1.7gb uncompressed. So it would have to have more than 1gb for all that bloat

^ then shouldnt the desire hd have the same?? If it only has 1gb of internal storage then shouldnt there be like -2gb for personal use?lol
So basically its the same ~_~
Im not sure about the mic and stuff though,
Personally I think they do the same amount but its just a marketing by att to make it sound even better. "4gb internal plus 8gb external" to give it the fake wow factor same as their "4g". Just marketing and small little fine print.
I think the only actual difference is the extra Mike. Frequency bands not with standing. I have read of few people say their desire HD have the slcd and I believe the telus version does have the Mike. So I don't know what HTC is doing

You mean Mic?lol
and yeah I agree...
Lol yeah. Got to love the auto correct.

Even with having a single mic, my DHD seems to do a better job at noise reductions than most other phones do. Voice actions records my voice and shows the wave perfectly, and executes perfectly even if I'm in a noise street. My friend's Desire S (3 mics I think) doesn't do nearly that, and gives huge "block" as the wave after a voice command.

Then I am quite glad I purchased the Telus DHD instead of the inspire. I am on a full feature phone unlimited data plan ($10/month). And ATT doesn't seem to be able to detect this phone.
without hesitation I prefer the DHD
Hopefully I'm clear on what I am trying to say, but if I were to buy a Tmobile HD2 and have it unlocked, would it be possible to use in uk still? I'm not expecting 3g buy 2g at least?
Cheers guys

for CDMA use? or for GSM?
assuming your refering to the VM cdma 816...
as for GSM,seems the phone is either too well locked down,or lacking the correct physical hardware. at the end of the unlocking thread,there was a post stating that the phone had errors after attempting to add GSM bands. i went thru every process i could find a few days ago,without any success. i could not even get to a point that the phone didnt give me the sim card error. i finally gave up and sold it to a friend to use on virgin mobile.
there are a couple people using a cdma sim,and that seems to be working fine. so you may be able to add something there.
if youre refering to adding bands to a gsm model,id venture to guess that would be possible,and am interested also to hear anyones experience with that.
Thank you for sharing. I was referring to adding gsm lte bands to European model desire 816 need Canadian frequencies
