hi all
i'm in the market for a new htc desire HD and was wondering if I should wait.
I'd hate to buy a HD (i like big screens so am looking for a big screen HTC phone) now just to find out that in a month they are going to release a new wiz-bang version
anyone know whats in the works and if I should wait ?
The HD is the Wiz Bang version...

sure but my question is, should i wait for the next big screen phone from HTC.. ?
is there anything just over the horizon ?
as i said, i'd hate to buy one now just to find a new one being released in a month
Well, there's the Thunderbolt just around the corner, but from what is known at the moment, it's not that different from the Desire HD...
http://mashable.com/2010/12/29/htc-thunderbolt/
If you find yourself unsatisfied with what the DHD offers, I suggest waiting. I don't know what will be coming out after the Thunderbolt but naturally there will be more.
If you keep waiting for the next big thing, you will end up just waiting. For a long time. It's a good way to go crazy.

Dual core phones are about to be released by at least other manufacturers. Worth waiting a little more unless you really need to buy now.
In the worst case if you wait and find nothing of interest the price of current phones will drop.

Agreed! New technology will always keep coming and you could wait for the next best thing but there's always gona be something better later.
Just buy the Desire HD and don't worry about it, unless you are not completely satisfied with the phone.

Yes but there is a difference between waiting for a major release (dual cores) vs the usual releases (smaller insignificant upgrades).
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I am not convinced that dual cores will have such a huge impact on a phones performance. I think its a marketing ploy to get people to buy new phones. Mostly, anyways.

Whatever you buy, the next day it will be old fashioned.
example.. 3D TV with glasses is old tech as the latest is 3d without the needf for wearing special glasses.
The day after iphone 3 released, iphone 4 was in pipeline.
So buy what you want now that will do everything you require, only wait if you want a phone that does something no other phone in todays market will do.
As for dual core, except for business use, there is no point, unless it makes tea when the alarm goes off.
Fully agree with malex1.
Plus, even if dual cores are the next major upgrade in smartphone technology it ain't gona be nowhere near cheap that's for sure. A Desire HD is expensive as it is...

That's what people told me when ages ago, my dad got 1 of the first Pentium IV 500Mhz pc's.......and look at it now
To be honest, I waited for the DHD....otherwise I would have had to buy the SGS or I4.
I knew the DHD was just a matter of time before it would be released and as my contract was expiring in that same range, I decided to wait and hope the DHD was released sooner rather than later.
If I had to choose now, I probably would try to find out if the thunderbolt was going to be released within 1-3 months, if not, get the DHD.
Imo you should wait 2-3 days because Thunderbolt will be unveiled at CES on 6 january and then see what you will gonna buy.
Yes, waiting AFTER the CES would already give you a better idea of what's just around the corner. And it's only a few days' wait

I get your point and I agree, if you wait for better, you wait forever, but if he's about to take a decision, and CES starts in 2 days and he seems unsure, why not wait 4-5 days and make a decision based on more (and better) information. It's really just a matter of waiting for next week. MWC is in a month.
Then again, for me it wouldn't change a thing, because no matter what's announced at CES (or MWC or whatever), Canada always gets it 6 months + late Here, the Desire HD IS the next big thing around the corner (late January at Telus)...
Hi,
As you're interested in the DHD, I assume you're in Europe rather than the US? The Thunderbolt looks like the replacement for the US only HTC Evo 4G (the Thunderbolt being a DHD with US 4G internals) - so it will be US only.
I was interested in the standard Desire in the middle of 2010 but preferred the looks of the US Evo - then heard the rumour of the HTC Ace (which was the codename for the DHD). I decide the wait and got the DHD when it came out months later.
If you get the DHD now, I reckon it's going to be mid 2011 at the earliest before HTC bring out a new top of the range Android phone for the European market - and you'll hear rumours long before it becomes available - with the promise of press-junkets etc for the media.
Go for it now.

I need your help in making a decision.
My Orange contract on my Blackstone runs out in 3 months and 14 days. In 14 days I have the option of renewing my contract and taking a new phone.
I have been eyeing up the HTC Desire, but yesterday I went in to the Orange shop and they told me that there is a global shortage and they have no idea when they are coming back in to stock.
He then showed me the Samsung Galaxy S - my god the screen is breathtaking! The phone itself though feels really flimsy and like it might break, and I generally despise Samsung phones (+ they sponsor Chelsea, and that makes me physically sick).
My questions are as follows:-
- Should I wait until the Desire is back in stock?
- Should I just jump the HTC ship I have sailed so happily in for so long and get a Samsung?
- If I do get the Galaxy S, can I get rid of that crappy Touchwiz and put Sense on it?
Please help!
In three months time the Desire HD should be out...

Pretty much every phone/gadget news feed says October is the expected launch date, that'll make at least six months since the desire launched, which seems reasonable.
So if the choice is between a Desire or a higher spec Samsung, I'd wait for HTC's next release
ah damn it... i best ring orange business and see if they have stock of the desire - got a phone on order thats needed.

Am I missing something here? I had one in my hand just this morning - it's been out for a long time!!
I have been through millions of comparisons, and been in to the Orange shop - think I will be going for a Galaxy.
Not just because they are in stock, but because of the screen and general performance. I will miss Sense, but there seem to be lots of widgets that come close to it.
Never thought I'd leave HTC, but the day is getting closer!
My phone is due for upgrade at the end of the month. Ever since it was announced i have had my heart set on a Desire HD and planned to upgrade to this as soon as it was released.
A spanner was thrown into the works today when I bumped into some articles dating back to May about the glacier. The spec looks a huge leap ahead of the desire hd but I could not find any recent references to this device at all.
Does anyone know anything about this device? The reports from may say the launch was planned for end of 2010 and that it has the dual core snapdragon.That is all I can find.
Cheers

Qualcomm began sampling the dual-core Snapdragon back in early June, promising both 1.2GHz and 1.5GHz versions. There’s no telling which the HTC Glacier might be running – doing some basic sums on the difference between the single-core 1GHz phones leaves the mysterious HTC falling somewhere in-between – but Qualcomm has said that the first devices to use the updated chips could be on the market before the year is out.
This was just my views about the Desire HD using the evo lcd screen to get the phone out quicker to make way for the new dual core. Around December/January time there we be a new phone from HTC Im sure.

That being said you can wait forever and then 3 months down the line there's a new better phone and so it goes on, Im just going to get the Desire HD and then sell it on for the next model if its good enough and I like it, enjoy whats out now and upgrade later...
You're basically in between the generation gap.
The Glacier will be announced officially in November (around the 5th), but there's no telling when it will be available to the masses (retail).
The question is rather: what are your uses for the smartphone, and do you really need the extra power. Unless you're a dev (especially working on native/multithread apps), you won't be needing the extra HP.

Any idea how much it will cost, I don't want to pay £470 for the DHD and find out that next month a better phone is announced for the same price. I wouldn't mind if it was next year some time but it's less than a month if you say 5th November announcement.

There will always be a new phone comming out every couple of months, you will be waiting forever))
If i was you i would get this "great" phone, then in a year from now sell it and add about 150 -200 to get the newest phone out.. and you can keep doing this every year!
If your always waiting for the newest release, you will be waiting all your life!
Next year, samsung are supposedly gonna go into overdrive on AMOLED and S-AMOLED production, so all top of the range phones from next year will be SAMOLED and of the dual core chipset.. I will sell my HD around June next year for around 250-300 and just add 150 and get the new beast...

I believe the conference in London in October is for the Windows 7 based HTC Phone. They had sent me an invite Facebook. Im pretty sure the'll be no Android based phones at that conference.

from what i've been reading, the Glacier will be released for T-Mobile US. In other words the 3G won't work here in Europe. I don't think HTC intend for that phone to be in the European market so i think you should forget about it and get the DHD.
You can always wait.
Wait, and wait...
Soon you’ll be dead and is being buried with your old Nokia 3220.
Or!
Get the things you want, and sell them when something better comes along.
A word of caution tough:
Don’t take this advise when it comes to people
And by that I mean, Christmas is right around the corner and though I don't celebrate it cool new phones usually come around this time. Especially now that Gingerbread is getting closer.
Plus there's that rumor about Nexus Two. Developer support+assured updates would be fantastic, though I'm still not sure just how useful it'll be without a keyboard (who needs Tegra 2 or whatever when you can only use it to play casual games?! Only other use I can think of would be 1080p streaming/output)
However, the G2/Desire Z looks like a fantastic phone and most people who are 'serious users' and did not receive a defective unit agree on this point.
So... are you going to wait?
We can safely assume, that most of the people waiting for Desire Z will not switch away to other phone. You must realize who are the people who preordered Desire Z - they are the ones who require a physical keyboard. And considering that so far there are only 2 phones in EU having physical keyboard (G1/Dream and Motorola Milestone) and only other 2 are announced/going to be released (HTC Desire Z and Motorola Milestone 2), there is no other option, only waiting.
And the chance of new phones till Christmas are pretty slim. Maybe something from Samsung, maybe Motorola will finally release the Milestone 2, but that's it.
Tegra, dual cores - for phones that's next year, end of next year. Yeah, you will see Tegra tablets in H1/2011, but that is 2011.

Exactly! .
How about waiting for something like this for those of you willing to settle with SwiftKey/Swype?
But then again, Sony Ericsson ...
Edit: also, assuming the specs are correct we should be able to 'port' the games to the Desire Z's itty-bitty buttons.
Are you serious Pickx ? That ?
And because it's Sony Ericsson, it's going to be released on Q1/2012 and going to have Android 2.2.

Heh, not really. I've already got the Desire Z on preorder
I'm just seeing what other people think, since I certainly don't have the ability to get a new phone every 9 months.
I don't think they can delay it much longer - I want mine next week
Even they postpone the release for a month, I still want the phone.
i heard that the phone is fake.
With all the delays I do feel a little like I've ordered the Duke Nukem Forever of the mobile phone world!

It's not that there are real alternatives, are there?
So before speculating on the announcement of a not-yet-existing phone (and then again waiting for its delivery) I'll happily stick with my preorder. In three weeks (the latest) we wont look into this thread anymore and start to keep ourselves busy with real stuff again.
The original launch date from htc was late october or november (fourth qt 2010)
If some stores play with their "preorder" dates, thats their problem, not htc's
No delay (or slight delay) = pointless thread

I've been waiting a couple of years so I think I can wait another few weeks or months. I still use Tytn. I missed Touch Pro 2, I didn't need new phone then. And when I decided I need one, I thought that TP2 is too old to buy and I can as well wait for something new with keyboard.

On engaged it shows what HTC has announced and they either have 2.2 2.3 or 2.4 all with sense, and their "Facebook" phones have the new sense with 2.3.3 and it definitely looks like the Evo could run it as the Facebook phone and wildfire s only have 600mhz, granted its the new process and such, but we should be about on par.
The new phones are a disappointment to me, with last year specs pretty much. Just the new 1ghz processors and 768mb RAM. Here's to hoping CTIA has something...

I don't see why everyone is so down. First, new devices do not have to be announced at conferences. They can put together their own event any time they want. Second, there's a high probability that the Evo's successor will in fact be announced at CTIA. That's when the Evo was announced. And finally, it's not necessarily a bad thing that the new device isn't announced yet. It might mean we get a dual core processor or something else really cool that just isn't ready yet. The Incredible S has a second generation, single core, 1GHz Snapdragon. It's certainly better than what's in the Evo, but I'd gladly wait until the summer if it means I get dual core, and maybe even Ice Cream out of the box.

Darn, I was kind of hoping to hang on to my evo for more then just a couple years. It would be nice to see more long term support with these new devices, but at the speed that technology advances, it doesnt really suprise me.
I've got my fingers crossed for CTIA, really putting my faith in Sprint for that one.
As for 2.3...we already have roms for it and androidball ported a honeycomb rom to his Evo a few days ago (it's around here somewhere).
So, I think we'll be getting our upgrades. Not sure about non XDA, non rooted peoples...but we sure as hell will
I just hope Sprint announces something big at CTIA next month. Fingers crossed for EVO2 announcement, or at least a high end Galaxy-S-2 w/out keyboard, thank you.
And I would like one of these phones come this June, or I might jump ship to the iPhone5, with 4" screen, dual core, new AMOLED + Retina screen, and totally revised iOS5 adding Widgets and Notifications finally.

if you say so...
I've never seen people that get so bored of devices so damned quickly.
They really market technology well don't they?
"OMGZ EYE HAS 2 HAV DAT NU DEVIS TUDAY"
People really need to calm down about the whole Sprint and new phone thing.
It's going to happen.
-The fact that the lack of an "Evo 2" this summer would just be about the most retarded mistake Sprint could make.
-The practically confirmed, although still a "rumor", dual-core WM7 phone.
-The fact that there "is NO CDMA exclusivity" when it comes to the iphone. [Could sprint be waiting for the 4g capable iphone 5 this summer? I would if I were them, At&t and Verizon already has any person who wants the iPhone 4.]
-The likelihood of Sprint getting a WebOS device, or two
-The Blackberry Playbook
-Any Blackberry phones that will come out, that haven't even been talked about yet
And that's just NON-Android based devices!
You're silly if you think that Sprint won't be getting a plethora of Android devices over the next 6 - 12 months.
Android is the hot ticket.
Thus, Sprint, a company that is finally starting to gain customers and wants to continue to pull itself out of the hole its been in, HAS to be apart of that hot ticket.
There's just no way, no how that, coupled with everything I talked about up there, Sprint won't be getting multiple Android devices.
Relax.
Let's also keep in mind that, as sweet as the Atrix and other devices announced at CES are....NONE ARE EVEN OUT YET.
So, take a deep breath, and relax.
My hopes keep being put down after each big phone technology show First was CES in January, and not a thing for Sprint really ( meaning an upgrade to our beloved EVO ). Now it is MWC, and I was hoping for some announcement or rumors of the EVO 2 being in the shadows, with at least some spec's leaked out, but nothing, just some slightly updated HTC phones;
HTC refreshes Android lineup;

The next big phone show is CITA in March, and I believe that is where our EVO made it's first debut. Lets keep fingers and toes crossed for the EVO2 there.

Now it is MWC, and I was hoping for some announcement or rumors of the EVO 2 being in the shadows, with at least some spec's leaked out, but nothing, just some slightly updated HTC phones;
HTC refreshes Android lineup;

The next big phone show is CITA in March, and I believe that is where our EVO made it's first debut. Lets keep fingers and toes crossed for the EVO2 there.

yeah and the specs of those newer phones still dont meet up to the Evo really. as i said in the other thread, the next show is our last hope i guess. Hopefully it will be something along the lines of using the newer snapdragon chips with DRM and well get netflix. anything less would be a disappointment really.
What in the crap. All these other companies are making superphones and HTC just barely upgrades all these phones? There's gotta be something going on here.......
Rumor has it....

Also if I'm not mistaken, HTC sources all their chips from qualcomm and qualcomm just doesn't have a dualcore chip yet so that's what they're waiting on. Can anyone confirm this?

The full next generation HTC phone is codenamed "Pyramid" it will have 1.2ghz dual core...double the RAM...double the memory...better screen technology...
It sounds like the perfect device to be the new EVO2...but the strange thing is that T-Mobile is getting this "Pyramid" for a May launch. At least according to the rumors I read.
Samsung flat out kicked HTC's ass at MWC. No ifs ands or buts about it.
htc's next phone needs to keep hiding, the longer it takes to come out, the better it will be and the evo isn't unbearable yet
No wonder Sprint had a big event for the Echo. There isn't crap out there that will serve as the next flagship phone for Sprint. One last mobile event to go so hopefully I'll have egg on my face.
Check out HTC's page on facebook. Getting ripped to shreds.

Dont meet up to the EVO? What the hell are you talking about? These phones aren't great compared to the new dual core super phones but they are definitely better than the aged EVO.

Let put it all in perspective here. LG, Samsung, and Motorola showed off their v10 and v12 engine cars. HTC add 50 hp to their v8 beast. God help me. Yet, either way anything Samsung comes out with no matter how great the hardware is will be crap. Hence the moment and current galaxy S models that still don't have official Froyo. ;p Sorry I had to take my frustration out on someone.
I have hopes the EVO2 will be announced in March / April. Because Sprint would be silly to keep it too quiet for long otherwise buyers will start looking elsewhere. This Summer some bad ass phones coming out. The HTC Pyramid on T-mobile, and hate to say this but the iPhone5 with 4" screen, dual cote, and a rumored major redesign of iOS adding notifications and widgets. If Sprint doesn't at least announce an EVO2 by June, I will seriously think about that new iPhone5.
It looks like at&t and tmobile will get the nice phones... My mt4g was fast but I prefer my evo.

I do LOVE my EVO, with Myn's RL5 ROM, this phone is a beast, and much better on battery life. But seeing these new devices announced, makes me wonder what we could be playing with soon, I am addicted to cool technology.
I don't want much in an EVO2, mainly a thinner and less bulky device, and hopefully improved battery life, and for sure want GPU acceleration, and a better screen to match something like the Super AMOLED.
But if Sprint keeps quiet on a EVO successor, I will seriously look elsewhere this June. Because come this Summer, the EVO1 will be outdated compared to the other high end devices from Apple, Samsung, Motorola...

Actually the best phone for 2011 will most likely be the Nexus-3.0 due out at the end of the year, it will ship with the newest Android OS, and have some amazing technology from what I hear. But if it is for T-Mobile only, screw that, their service sucks by me, and really blows inside buildings.
I hope the Nexus-3.0 is as future proof as the Nexus-One was, it came out with hardware that was like 6 months ahead of it's time. And I have heard that Motorola wants to get in on the Nexus game.
I am still thinking the top phones for 2011 will be;
- EVO2
- iPhone5
- Nexus-3.0
