Does anyone know why the Desire got the froyo update first when the Legend actually came out earlier than them?
Because Desire is HTC's flagship, top of the line, finest product would be my guess.
And I don't how heavy 2.2 is to run but Desire comes with the 1GHz Snapdragon CPU and will run a less fine-tuned OS better than the Legend (this is also a wild guess)..
Edit: another reason is the N1, with almoast the same specs as the desire meaning its easyer for htc engineers to modify it for desire.
will the legend ever get the update ?
I sent a question to HTC yesterday, asking when we can expect the update on the legend... This was their answer:
"Android 2.2 (Froyo) update is sent out to customers in waves. This is done so we don’t overload our system. And because of this it may take longer for some of our customers to get it. You can try searching for it by typing the following: Settings -> about phone -> updating systems software -> Search now"
Not sure if she misunderstood me, I specified that I've got a Legend, but I would guess the response could be interpreted as if she thought I've got a Desire. I dunno. I just want the update.

even the EVO got the froyo update ... so i dont think thats the reason ... its probably cause the Desire has a larger user community then the Legend ..
I'm pretty sure we'll get it but we will have to wait until all other phones made in 2010 get it.
Because the Legend has the smallest community.
That's just simply what HTC needs to do, satisfy as much people as fast as possible.
So after all EVO users got there updates it's probably going to be the wildfire who's next and then probably us.
The legend hasn't specifically been named, but they have said that all android devices made in 2010 will get the update in Q3. So the legend will get it, just be patient.
Are you serious that even the Wildfire will get the update earlier than us? This must be the biggest joke ever.
So HTC's strategy is to get the more popular phones updated first and place the less popular ones below?

I dont think the Wildfire will get it before the Legend. The Wildfire is a mass-market low-end device unlike the Legend.
I think the delay is due to addition of new features like Live Wallpapers, as Froyo gives a supposed 450% performance boost that coupled with the same graphics chip as the Nexus One and the Desire should give the Legend a lot of processing power.
I agree. The Wildfire will probably get it before the Legend.
But the Legend will get it before Q4 afaik. Since HTC said all their 2010 devices would.

think on the bright side .. HTC trying to integrate live wallpaper into froyo 2.2 for legend user that why it take so long..
who said wildfire community is bigger than the legend .. i don't think so ...
Are you sure that Legend is getting live wallpapers? Where did you hear that?

I just suppose it is, it is much more price friendly therefore much more in the price tag that most people are looking for.
jonas :
yea right , but still the extra money offers better specifcations and many also will think put the extra money for extra quality ..
but anyway wildfire first or the legend it dosen't matter but the most important thing that they should not forget the legend ..
Its probably easier for HTC to update the Wildfire because of its lower hardware specs.

Yea, probably not.
But no one can know which gets it first.
And if the Wildfire gets FroYo first. It's probably because it's newer. But as said before. All 2010 HTC devices will have FroYo before Q4.
Hopefully.. Never know with HTC.
if the wildfire gets the update i will have no doubt that the legend will get it because of the similir specifcations and hardware ...

wildfire. All i have to say.
I had a x10 but sold it and got a wildfire.
The x10 is nice but no custom roms at all as the bootloader is not cracked. Also the x10 has a 4" screen but no multi touch, which for certain stuff suck, i use the snes emulator for example and it is unusable on the x10 as are most good games. The wildfire is very moddable wearas the x10 is not. Lastly the wildfire is close to getting cyanogen rom for it, it will never happen on the x10 and wildfire is close to getting froyo and the x10 has not even got 2.1 yet.
Its upto you but for me the wildfire is much more versatile then the x10 will ever be(imo)
Cheers for that .....widfire it is then .........

I vote for Wildfire. I'm pleased with it.
This little phone (wildfire) is just amazing. Today I visited a local store to see what is available. There were many phones from Nokia to Samsung, including the wonderkid Samsung Galaxy S. I dont know what it was. I knew Galaxy S had all yhe bells and whistles but I would not get it to replace my wildfire. Maybe it was the size, or the touchwiz overlay. But I am very happy with my wildfire ..
So I recommend wildfire

Me and the other half upgraded a month ago, She got the Wildfire and I got the Desire, I have to say, they're both epic devices.
Her wildfire goes a couple of days without a charge and does pretty much everything with ease, and hopefully with 2.2 around the corner, things will only get better. All in all it's a great little device.
I'd recommend the Wildfire over the X10 a) Because I've used the Wildfire a lot, and b) I've not heard great things about the X10 and I've also read on here how much of a pain in the arse they are!

cheers kerman....im getting desire tomorrow and looks like i will be getting the wildfire for my son now

Hi everybody,
I would like to buy a nw phone because the tattoo is good but... won't be upgraded correctly to android 2.1 or 2.2. Sometimes it's slow, bugging (e.g.: rebooting while installing the update of google maps, ...)
I was thinking about buying either the HTC Desire or the HTC Wildfire. However, I don't know which one to take
Could you give some advice?
Thanks ;-)
have you got the money? if you do, get the htc desire - higher res screen, bigger screen, can play games better, but the wildfire has better battery life.
Hey,
Yes, I've got the money (if my renovation budget is correct ).
Indeed, Desire is better than Wildfire. But I wanted to ask the question because I was disappointed with the Tattoo (no focus for the cam, for example)
I'm very happy with the Desire that I have - someone at work though is getting the Desire HD today - I can't wait to see all the HTCSense.com stuff on it... but still think i'd rather just stick with my Desire Original
HTC Desire HD seems really nice but really too expensif.
lol Wildfire vs Desire? Even the Wildfire designer will tell you to buy a Desire...
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3337&idPhone2=3077
You can't compare them...
P.s. i have the Wild but if i will ever have that kind of money, i'll buy the Desire.
well, I just bought the Desire ;-)
It was in promotion "-15%" if I gave another cellphone.
The HTC Desire was originally at 429€ and I gave a Nokia 6110 and got 64€ back I'm so happy
The Desire is REALLY nice !
Thanks for your advises ;-)
its always the money problem which brings everyone to the wildfire
Yes, I agree with you.
I saw the Desire Hd and it seems to be better than the normal one. but the price is scary... 599€... for a phone
Desire, hands down.
Choose wildfire if you don`t have the cash, think that the Desire is too big, or if you don`t want to loose a lot of money in case of theft/loosing the phone.
I only wanted a entry level android phone and HTC Wildfire for a 17yr old teenager is good investment

Both of those are downgrades, IMO. Why would you want to take a step backwards device-wise, even for a little extra money? Remorse is sure to ensue.
Vibrant is cheap plastic, and lots of issues with that phone (CPU lag, major GPS problems) and there is less developer support on XDA for Samsung phones. HD2 is old hardware, that phone was released Nov. 2009.
Check out this post by another guy that traded his G2 for the Vibrant, and totally regrets it. Don't be him.

Than try Desire HD, HD7, Evo Shift, Thunderbolt or something similar, but not outdated phones like HD2 ;-) And Samsung is not a choice at all IMO. Low quality, cheap plastic, disposable toys. They could'nt even make their own design and copy-cat'ed an iPhone.

If you like trying new phones, the HD2 doesn't qualify. Its a very old phone. 14 month old hardware may as well be 10 years in the smartphone business.
And a Android port is never going to run as well as a phone that is designed to run Android natively. So don't think that you will really have an Android phone on your hands if you buy an HD2 and flash an Android port. Old hardware that runs a very outdated OS, that also has the ability to run an Android port = not worth it.
I'm actually getting an HD2 to run Android and ditching my G2. It has the same hardware as my N1, which is running wonderfully and is a year old now, so I am not worried. I want the big screen, dual LED flash, and the Desire HD ROM. I've been waiting for T-Mo to announce a 4.3" HTC phone but who knows if it'll even happen at MWC so I am using the HD2 to hold me over until one ever comes to T-Mo.
just thought i'd let you guys know, i got the hd2 and am now running CM7 on NAND. its amazing. i love it
I had the hd2 before i got my z and it is a good phone with good support on xda. I just couldnt get used to its size. The z just "feels" better.
So the HTC Evo 3D seems still to be sold for a low price. Lowest price I found was € 269 and now it went to € 289
And the current price off the HTC Desire HD in the same shop is € 295.
So as far I know the HTC Evo 3D got an 1.2Ghz dual core and an 960x540 screen resolution, further it has 1024MB ram and a 3D screen.
And bluetooth 3.0 and a frontcam which the HTC Desire HD has not. So that is the general difference. And I would say getting about € 200 for my HTC Desire HD should still be possible.
But is it worth? I would still be investing almost € 100 then and there seems to be not so much different, in fact the camera on HTC Evo 3D is 5MP, but it has 3D recording possibilities.
I see the Evo 3D has no unibody design like our HTC Desire HD.
Well, you'll have awful battery life, a bulkier device, and a pointless 3D screen.
IMO, not much if an upgrade. Stick with your phone, it still has a long life ahead, and save up for a newer HTC flagship (One X etc)
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk
Yes its heavier indeed I read. First I though it had an unibody design to, but it doesn't have it. I also already decided that it would not be worth upgrading.
I was only thinking of buying it because priced drop so much, its right now even cheaper then a new HTC Desire HD.
I also think in terms of design the HTC Desire HD looks much better.
I agree, it's not worth it. I would prefer to buy an HTC Sensation XE.
Or save the money for the next HTC devices (One X, One S).
Answer: Nah

Best thing would be ofcourse keeping the HTC Desire HD after my contract ends and using a cheap prepaid sim card for just being reachable.
As I always use rynga.com for calling. But the DHD is still good and as long it keeps working then I have nothing to worry about.
if you where going from a nokia brick to evo 3D, then yes
from dhd to evo 3d, nope.
€295? really expensive.. I bought my one at €130 last month.. and €99 today without a contract.

You mean the Desire HD? I don't think the new price off HTC Desire HD will be so low, but you are from Korea so it could be that you pay much less there.
But 50% less looks alot to me. The Evo3D is really cheap on the moment, but reason for it seems that it was not selling good.

Do you think that is worth? I could try put it on internet for about € 200 and be happy if I get € 200 for it.
So then I would still need add € 89 by myself and main difference between HTC Desire HD is the CPU and RAM and screen, the rest is not much difference, the DHD even got a 8MP camera and the Evo3d got 5MP.
Its not a bad phone the Evo3D, but its not without reason its being sold for so low price. Because I also see this device doesn't have custom roms like the HTC Sensation has, there are some custom roms but its not same as our DHD, for the Evo3d there is right now not even a ics sense rom.
So I think its not worth really, but if my DHD would break then I would buy it right away as its a good deal right now, but the HTC One X and HTC One S will be released also soon.

If you want to root and install custom ROM, it's better to keep the DHD.
In the new line of HTCs, One X, S and V, there's one that is completely compatible with DHD, namely HTC One V, with just slight difference in camera resolution (DHD got better camera than OneV).
Let's hope that there's a developer in XDA that might pick this up and port it into DHD with all the ICS+Sense 4 goodness.
Officially, DHD would get ICS as well, though I doubt they would give sense4 into it, most likely just sense3.5.
Yes if we look to custom roms then our DHD got more options. But a good ICS rom for the DHD is there right now not yet.
If I look to another aspect off buying a Evo3d then I not only see a better phone, but also warranty for 2 years.
Selling my DHD and buying an Evo3d would not be to bad at all. I need to consider that if my DHD breaks that its nothing worth at all, but on other side it should still keep working for awhile and buying the Evo3d right now will not be a good idea, because there already annouced the new HTC top devices.
I guess I just keep mine DHD till at least my contract is finished, I still have until half October until my contract finishes and be honest most off days lately I'm not using my phone much.
Of course get a sensation /Xe or wait for The One X evo 3d is not worth a gange from a dhd besides some users have reported that they felt a little bit dizy after looking to 3D pics because u dont use a 3d glasses with this phone
I gave my gf an sensation lol. So I bought one but gave it as present and I will just keep using my DHD.
When I switched from iPhone 3G to DHD that was like I entered heaven, but I think an upgrade will not have that experience anymore and our DHD will still function very good.

Are u serious? HTC Sensation is quiet better than Desire HD. If u go to Sensation forum u see a lot of great Roms with ICS + Sense 3.6 and Sense 4.0. Why don't u change with your girlfriend and play with Sensation 4 awile until your contract finish?

Hahaha she will scold me, she doesn't want a used phone and when I bought her the Sensation I though it was better then buying the DHD because the Sensation cost not so much more.
And also its rude to give someone your used phone as Christmas present. I let her Sensation just stock because its not mine but hers so I didn't root it or put a custom rom on it.
I don't consider the Sensation worth to upgrade and only reason I was considering the HTC Evo3d is because its practical an HTC Sensation in terms off specification, but its price is much cheaper right now, but I can see its not a good phone if you like have newer Android version, as certain parts in ports for evo3d are not working good.
But they do have an Sense 4.0 port right now, that's further then the DHD is, we only have an ics sense 3.6 rom which got no internet connectivity. No I really think I can stick with mine DHD, I only still have 8 months to go on my contract and I think the DHD still will do a good job. We already have asop ics.

I've wanted to buy an HTC Sensation, but i changed my mind when i saw the new HTC One devices.
Well not long ago we just had some Sensation roms, so in terms off software we are not so much behind and we will get an official ICS.
Yes HTC One serie looks great.
