its only a matter of time until windows mobile on the hd2 is completely replaced by 100% working android rom on the nand instead of the sd.

It is the same in terms of speed now but some minor fixes for g sensor. And lighter sensor and it will be the same

I would wait for little bit more phones that are 4G... EVO is ok device but still suffers from two major defects to call it that way: battery and defective screen.

Thanks for all of you guys advice keep it coming

i dont know about you but i pay USD $128 including taxes for unlimited voice, data and 300 txts for TWO PHONES with tmobile
sprint 2year contract, i have NONE
evo4g $200+/- HD2 paid for already
wifi router $25+/- HD2 free eventually will be working
Even with it running off the SD card its still pretty damn good for a 100% daily use...at least for me it is, anyone can have a evo4g. Not to many can say they got a WM6.5 phone dual bootin android! Thats WOW.

double that.
there's not enough wow factor for me to switch over to sprint for an evo4g. there's no 4g in my area yet anyways. too much extra money, would feel like a waste to me.

You couldn't pay me to go to sprint. Sprint alone a reason not to get the evo. Unless your a huge nascar fan or something.

Thinking About an EVO..

I was wanting to upgrade my GSM Hero to the Desire HD, but do not have the cash at the moment.. lol, sooo, my sister is with Sprint, and i was looking at the EVO 4G, and, it seems like the same phone pretty much? I was just wondering what input the wonderful people at XDA have on the EVO? thank you^^

You will get great feedback on it for sure, but how do you have the gsm hero (are you in europe) and trying to get the desire hd?
Anyways the Evo is a desire hd without the new look and without the new sense most of the stuff is the same , and is great device, is the only phone the hold me this long to get another One(I got it back in june 2010 when it came out ) and is the best android device in Sprint at the moment (sorry I hate the epic 4g) if you coming from the hero you will definetely feel it faster and better (specially cause of the processor and the big screen ) and they have offer online to get it at 150$ or maybe less on contract

I am in the U.S. and i got the GSM Hero unlocked, and was going to do the same for the Desire HD, but.. at around $450.. I decided to have my sister put me on her plan through Sprint so i could get it a lotttt cheaper, I think i read it $199 after the mail-in rebate, so.. $299, and I don't think it is bad and i would have better service than T-Mobile.. -.-; (GSM Hero isn't compatible with their 3G....)

you should look for the EVO online .. can get it even cheaper.
there is a $125 additional credit if you qualify for porting from another carrier. search for the details.

The Evo is a great phone. Giant screen, fast, smooth, efficient, excellent developer support (if you ever want to root your phone and flash stuff), it has 4g, there's a huge selection of good cases and accessories.
The bad?
Battery life
uhm
Battery life
but we're fixing that,

I figured battery life could be fixable with the right ROM etc.. Rooting it a difficult process? My Hero was crazy hard due to it being the first Android phone I touched, haha, and wouldn't the cheapest be through Spring? With the rebate and money off for the contract?

Rooting the Evo is easy as pie.
EDIT: and there's an a phenomenal development community here that is very fast, very active, and very good. The community here in this forum makes the Evo the best phone in the world, IMHO.

Nope Amazon mobile got some good offers and root is easy with unrevoked, and there is guys too, Idk but I find it easy

where you see the $99? lmao, i think i mightttt be a little tipsy, and i was gonna use unrevoked to root my girl's Incredible, but.. it seemed too easy to be true? lmao, and does that go with like, my sister putting me on her plan? lol

For what it's worth, I bought one on launch day and havent regretted it once. Even Sprint's customer service has been remarkable... which surprised me since I used them from 2000-2006 and it was always like dealing with "some guy" working out of the back of an old van...
There are now 5 Evos on our plan.

The Desire HD is like a second generation EVO. Better display (SLCD), 50% more RAM, faster/more efficient CPU, a significantly better GPU, and way more internal storage.
At this moment it'd be kind of foolish to get a EVO. The newer HTCs are better, and their "real" next generation phones are just a few weeks away from being announced. TBH, the real handicap with the EVO is it's GPU and internal storage.

Well i paid for this month of T-Mobile, so it would be a couple weeks.. and Sprint is the cheapest way for me to get a new phone due to my sister being with them already..

I had the regular hero before the evo. I was happy with both.. Hero was al ittle dated tho.
You likely gonna get a more bias opinion here than anything else... but the EVO is a great phone. Of course it's fast and smooth and all that... but what makes it stand out IMO is the outstanding dev support for it.
The custom roms here range from Sense UI, to aosp like CM, even MIUI. I never tried MIUI but as far as the other roms, most are excellent. Smooth, awesome battery.. Devs constantly updating and making tweaks.
You also have a deep theme/mod section to play around with for the evo. The only knock I can think of is it is starting to slowly become dated.. but that doesn't at all make it a bad phone.

Same here. Got it in June but the phone crapped with bootloop in Jan...called Sprint they shipped the replacement the next day. That's without the TEP...I've had best customer service experience.

T-Mobile USA HD2 Still Worth Buying?

I have a Mytouch 3G at the moment, it's getting slower and slower everyday and it's driving me crazy. A friend of mine is willing to sell me his HD2 for $175 (comes with original packaging, accessories, etc.) Seems like a good deal to me, but I wanted to know some things before I make my decision.
Is ROM development active (for WinMo and Android?)
How well does Android run on the HD2?
How is the overall speed of the device on WinMo?
Am I getting a good deal?

it is really worth buying though the stoch wm sucks u can still upgrade to energy roms (the one which i preffer) it just sprints with android on nand and wp7 i havent tried ...comming bach to the question ya hd2 is quite stable and fast on energy roms but stock roms are crappy ... get it

I have a htc hd2. I like it very much. Yes you can flash this phone to andriod. It is very to flash it and there are tons if roms.

Rom development seems active.
Decent price.
I've bought 2 off CL here in the Bay Area.
One for $150 and one for $200.
Most of them are listed for much higher than that but I doubt they're selling.
Gotta be careful since many of the HD2s seem to be having hardware issues.
First one I bought is showing signs of impending MB failure which is no doubt why the dude sold it.
Not sure how one would test for that in a short meetup since it's intermittent.
OT: CL is filled with grifters and frauds anymore.
Just following in the footsteps of our politicians and business leaders I suppose.
Sigh.

...
man buy the hd 2... why not one of the best phones on the market...

Buy the HD2 and flash an android rom it will seem like a brand new phone.

Yes it is worth buying, especially for the amount of money you're getting it for.

Hell yes! All HD2s in my area go for 250+ on craigslist, plus this phone is just about the most supported phone with devs.

depending on the condition and cosmetics of the HD2, $175 is a good deal. Im used to android on my Glacier/mytouch 4G, and didnt like the stock win6.5 on the HD2 so I flashed android. ROM development is awesome and there are plenty of options to choose from(android, win6.5, wp7, meego, ubuntu). currently running cm7 rc4 and havent had any issues with the ROM or device

I bought my HD2 T-Mobile half a year ago on e-bay for $210 and it is really the best smart on the market nowadays.
This phone definitely worth buying (T-Mobile version is preferred since it has more memory).

Agree! Just to add that we all hope AT&T and T-Mobile merger never goes through and that way we keep using our HD2s in full 3G capabilities!!!
If we end up going to AT&T we are done with HD2 running 3G

I love my HD2 no doubt. But I'd say no, unless if you can get it for $125 or less. As much as you love a phone, remain objective on what exactly (in concrete terms) the hardware is netting you for the dollar you are forking over.

Thanks all! =)

i just sold my HTC HD2 today.. i cant hide that im kind of sad for selling it because this is the best phone i have had and seen...
i dont know what im gonna get now but i would love some advices...
so what do you recommend me??
it has to be as good as htc hd2 or better (if exists one )
thanks in advances =)

Go for HTC Sensation!
If you're living in US maybe you should wait from T-Mobile coz I've been reading latest news that they will release Sensation too.
Well on HD2, T-Mobile version is quiet different from EU version, right? So maybe in this Sensation too.

Afaik, T-Mobile now is part of At&t or opposite of that, cmiiw. So might be Sensation will come to Mexico eventually, or just buy them online from ebay or Amazon, etc.
Well, Sensation must be the choosen one if you look next generation HTC smartphone. Or just wait until HTC release the unlocked bootloader version one, and they will be come awesome device for you.

Htc evo 3d - 3d!!
Htc samsung galaxy s - super amoled plus and perfect camera
I would not go for sensation becuase the screen is not that good as sgsII + the camera lenses on htc arent that good yet

i need a att phone because im from mexico and the att frequencies are compatibles with mexican companies frequencies,
i had the tmobile htc hd2 and i just had it with EDGE thats why i sold it :/
or is there another phone i can use with 3G or 4G from the united states??
the ones that i have seen so far from at&t are:
- htc inspire 4G $300 USA Dollars
- Motorola ATrix 4G $300-350 USA Dollars
- Samsung Infuse 4G $500 USA Dollars
- Samsung captivate 4G $200-250 USA Dollars

Samsung galaxy s 2. Works with a T&t's 3g bands, but costs a hell lot. The price to pay for the best phone you can get at this time.
I mean tell me, which phone can run 20 tabs at the same time and play a HD youtube video fine? Pretty sure the sensation can't handle that with sense eating away the power.

It is funny how you guys are talking about the new HTC Sensation when it hasn't been out yet. Wait till it gets released then you guys can keep talking about how bad it is smfh..

The sensation is out. >.>
It's been selling in I think vodafone. It was out since last week I think, or before.

Been released in Europe a couple of weeks ago.
I am also doubting between the Sensation and the S2.
I saw some 720P and 1080P videos that where taken with both phones at the same time and boy ow boy the Samsung kills the Sensation on that front by a mile.
Since my HD2 is in repair I had some issues concentrating (called toying)and bought myself the very cheap ZTE blade. After 3 days I am starting to fall in love with it (especially for the price I paid for it).

You could wait till aT&t releases their version, which will be cheaper prolly.
Or the HTC infuse is a good choice, along with the cappy, super amoled is my cup of tea.

yeah im agreed with you, and more even here in mexico where the assaults are in the skies ;/
so im willing to pay 450 MAX maybe for the Samsung infuse, i saw some camera shots of that phone and i felt in love with it, but otherwise i really love HTC SENSE
it is so cute and unique!!
is there a way to have "like sense" in samsung infuse 4G?
or do i have to stay with the htc inspire 4G?
because i already look the motorola atrix and i didnt like it at all :S or can someone defend it?

Sense can be ported, but from how I see it, the infuse will not have a lot of devs working on it, so sense might be impossible in this situation.
I'd say go for the inspire 4g, lots of devs.
For one, i've never used a atrix 4g before, but I won't vouch for it being good. I've been to the atrix 4g forums when it came out, and all I saw was problems, problems, problems, "lagginess", screen was uninspiring, camera had issues, it's just not worth it as I see it.

Maybe the first released of HTC Sensation had locked bootloader (but with genius devs in xda I think it eventually will be unlocked no matter how it does to works ) that will make the phone couldn't installed with custom rom.
And you're absolutely right about HTC Sense. You can't leave that easily too.

[Q] Should I buy MyTouch 4G with my 200$?? or something else?

hi all.
should i buy MY4G with my 200$
or is there a better phone for 200$?
I want a FAST Android phone.
i have the G1 ATM.
and i saw that the MY4G is really good.
what do you think i need to buy with your experience with this phone?

I had the g1.
Traded for a mytouch.
Was faster in my experience. And loved the ffc

Depending on whatS more important to you. Do you Carr if you have a physical keyboard? Larger screen? Cause to be honest most phones are around the 1.MHz to 1.2mhz and m then you have the dual core. I love the mt. It can literally do anything. Just the other day I blew up a car with it. Pretty badass.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

i would recommend either the mt4g slider or the sensation but are new phone and personally i think they are the 2 best phones t-mobile has. they are both $200 i think.if you want netflix on it then deffinately go with the my touch 4g slide it's on sale right now on the site and comes out in like a week in the stores, so hold on and wait for that one if you want a my touch phone

The only problem for you would be getting MT4G at a price of $200 (assuming that your declared location is correct, which means you won't be buying a contract deal with T-Mobile, but paying full cash for the phone - in which case it'll cost you $450 with T-Mobile or a bit cheaper - just a bit below $400 - on eBay).
Personally, I think it's the most cost-effective phone on the market right now.

just wait for a month or so and get some dual core action when they are more mainstream

This phone can be troublesome with the chance of a bad screen/chip, I would just go for a dual core phone, they're faster and have better battery due to the way 2X cores work compared to 1 core devices. They will have better support for longer. But I'm waiting to get a new device when the Nexus 3 is around or Ice cream sandwich is out. When ICS is out they will have 720P res and no more HW buttons according to the news. And Quad-cores are in the works so it's really up to you, I would save my money up and stay with the G1, you had it this long so why not wait a little bit more? This phone is nice, but it's defiantly showing it's age now, official support will be dropped for this in a few months i'm guessing for the MT4GS and the successor for the MT4G, maybe MTHD or something.

I came from a g1 and it lasted me 15 months b4 i decided i needed a faster phone and it really was painfully slow compared to phones out these days, i lucked out and got a sweet deal on my current mt4g phone(even tho it has bad emmc chip, i still got a good display and no problems so far...) on craigslist. Which saved me my upgrade that's in august, but now that i have the mt4g it's really not as hard to decide to wait on the Hercules, Nexus 3 or whatever else is around the corner in 2012
Wait it out a bit longer if you've decided on the mt4g the slide is dual core beast, even the sensation will be fully unlocked and available to public in days.
Ace has a good point tho

Because you don't know what issues the Slide has then I wouldn't tell someone that this phone would be less troublesome. The Mytouch 4G could turn out to be a G2X, awesome phone if you have one that works. I'm sure everyone said the screen was great on the Mytouch, until they started comparing, and how long did it take to start noticing the very minor problem of the chips?

Get a MT4G from Craigslist... I always see them going for about 150-200$. Then keep that until the merger. That way you can get a phone with the appropriate bands. No use in using your upgrade then having the phone to be unusable within 8 months.

You don't say? That's like saying you traded up to a Corvette from a Yugo, and what do you know, the Vette was faster!

Hercules is gonna be ATT ready if the merger does go thru, so unless HTC makes the next nexus phone and has similar if not better specs then Samsung Hercules I'm upgrading to some super amoled + greatness.

Only thing the infuse has in common with the hercules is the 4.5 inch screen and internal storage, the hercules has:
dual core 1.2 ghz Qualcom processor
1gb ram

Dunno about the battery yet, but those specs alone have me sold unless the nexus 3 can dethrone it.

The nexus prime is suppose to have a 720P HD screen, ICS, no buttons on front, super amoleds, OMAP4460 @1.5GHz. It looks really nice too with no buttons.
