HD2 and Sony Ericsson's Xperia X10

can anyone tell me which is better to get ??? i have no idea about the performance of the Android 1.5 ... plzz help me

If you want to consume over the phone... Android / iPhone is a go ... if you want consuming plus billion possibilities of making your phone more fun, more easy, more of everything - get HD2 ...
I'm HD2... are you?

Thanks Dude .. now am goin 2 be HD2 myself

The expert of M3digtal word have tested both of them and there give to Xperia 10 in the scale of 10 a 5,hd2 have a 8!

I've never used an ExperiaX10 but I've had my HD2 for about 4 days. I must say i picked up my 8525 today and thought "Damn this **** looks ugly!".
My wife was always the one complaining about me being on my phone all the time. Now that I got her an HD2 also, she is bragging about it to everyone she meets, watching movies while working out at the gym, taking pics/videos of the kids all the time and basically being a total freaking junkie like I've been for the last 4 years.
I can only say the HD2 is a great experience.

Don't know but isn't the latest version of Android actually 2.1 Update 1 so it's out of date already?

I am in the same boat now..
2 questions that are still un answered for me --
1. Will android 2.1 update make x10 a better phone ?
2. Will HD2 be getting a fully functional android when its elder twin brother HTC EVO comes out in another 2 months ?
Meanwhile i will stick on to my everhated iphone ( jailbroken iphone ofcourse) that actually meets all my needs

1. Yes, it will.... if it is made.
2. No, the EVO is not the same phone, any more than a Corvette is a Porsche because they both have four tires and a steering wheel. The HD2 will likely never run Android fully, and definitely not as an HTC sanctioned ROM.

HD2 is better for you , X10 suck

X10 comes with Android 1.6 with the support of upgrading to 2.1 in the future. However, the multi-touch is announced to be not supported no matter which android version the phone receives.
Android will have more apps, but HD2 basically has more possibility of making it better and more fun if you just spend some time doing research and try out new things.
If you are not a so much tech person, maybe android will be a better platform to choose over WinMo 6.5.

go and get htc desire ,or x10 but never get hd2 ,android is the future ,wm6.5 is totally dead

i returned to love my hd2 again

after 8 hours from upgrading (i mean downgrading ) to xperia x10 with the ****ty android ,i realized that i was wrong (really wrong) ,the android is very un usable and un mature os windows leads allot ,i now know the value of my hd2 ,and i will through the x10 into garbage

But android's apps are quite fun, I think, at least I miss Tunewiki, Fotmob and some widgets.
Anyway, definitely a right decision that u made

in defence of android the x10 is only using1.6 and other than that SE has done a ****ty job with their UI.

my friend has a desire , and i used it for 30 munites before i got x10 ,x10 is better than desire , the screen senstivity is nearly equal to iphone ,with better camera and sound quality ,and with respect to android 2.1 it inly differs from 1.6 ,in some skinning ,some minor user interface update and the support for 16 million colors , in spite of all free application released for android market ,they really miss the quality and functionality not like wp6.5 apps even you cannot change themes in the android without 3rd party application (and the device must be rooted ). android is really a ****ty un mature os and i really regret spending 650 dollars on an android device

Finally a worthwhile HD2 praise thread welcome back!
I have to be honest though, i am very interested in trying out android, and as mentioned earlier i would assume the desire to be much better than the x10. Is android really not that good? My touch HD and HD2 are the 1st phones to keep my interest for so long, usually i get bored quite quickly, and so i love these phone, and winmo is pretty decent!

yes it is not that good

i have a desire and i love android, still love the HD2 though
i think alot of the trouble with the X10 is that it runs on a old version of android 1.6 i think the desire has 2.1

I dont see my self getting along with droid.
I might try it if they ever make a workable droid for HD2. But knowing me ill just flash back.

I'm actually using android phone (chinese N21), a good quality phone, with original android with market and other stuff.
I like android it's not perfect but neither bad. It's good phone OS, Id mention here google contacts auto synchronization which is very good thing. There are also some good apps out there because many developers are working on market, but keep in mind that there are also about 70 % of crap apps or apps that copy an actual useful app already on market. One more bad thing about android is apps storage (your forced to use phone memory), there is an method of using apps2sd to save apps on sdcard but it's not noob friendly.
Im waiting my HD2 to arrive these days, so I will leave android for now.
Btw I like winmo very much it's very good OS, I just hope more developers will work on creating useful applications for winmo.

HD2 or Desire

I know u ppl got tired of this question , but since I'm ordering new phone these days , I dunno which one to choose.
My vote will go to HD2 , since I heard there will be Android on it aswell (that was my main reason why I even thought about Desire).
I hope you kind ppl can help me solve my "problem"
Cheers,
Alex

Just get a Desire, the HD2 will never run Android as stable day-to-day as phone a designed to run the OS.

Like I thought so, thanks for your reply.
EDIT : Also , other replies are welcome too

depends on what you need most, big screen or android.

Both , but Android on 1st place.

The Desire HD or HTC Ace is due in October basicly a HTC EVO for GSM, it may be worth waiting till that comes out before you buy...
Personally, I will jump to Android when this phone arrives, I'm done (after many years) with WM ...

Thanks for reply , I just can't wait 'till October , but thanks anyway.

if android is your top priority, why is this even a debate???
There has not been one instance of Android as a primary OS on any WinMo phone to date. And that is after, what, 2 years of trying.

Don't let the aesthetics of the HD2 fool you. If your main concern is the OS, then go ahead and get the Desire. No question about it. Android will never be running 100% on the HD2 and if you're not accustom to winmo in general (which mean countless head-scratching as you're trying to make it work), you're screwed.

Then I guess imma buy Desire.
Thanks for feedback.

Actually I'm using desire ROM on hd2, working fine, they made Android really batter in a few days.. think of the advantage of a dual boot

Hmmm , does it have any glitches / bugs w.e ?
Cuz I don't want my phone to freeze or something , and its brand new.

You bet it does. I am an ex-owner of an HD2 and I swear to God that if the guys from the service center will give me a new HD2, I`ll say "no, thanks... what about a desire?" without having any second thoughts.
Personally, I`m done with the HD2. Full of bugs/freezes/etc, and I might say that I`m not quite the average apple fanboy who wants everything to work out-of-the-box. I love tweaking and hacking, but only to an extent.

my girfriend has the htc desire. in my opinion it has only 2 advantages over my hd2: better screen sensitivity and a brighter/more colorful screen (which i find not very natural anyway...).
the hd2 can run android now, it has a larger screen (with more natural colors) and i'm not willing to give up on wm just yet. android is very finger friendly, tons of apps and a more "secure" future ahead but i got bored with it very quickly.
so to make things short, i recommend to go with the hd2 or wait for something else...
oh, forgot to mention - your experience with the hd2 is highly dependent to the rom/radio/location "trinity". i am very happy with mine

I really wanna say: get the HD2.
An Android ROM should be made available in another month or two and with all the development behind the HD2 (on XDA of course!), it might even run Android better than the Desire some day. And who knows, the HD2 might be ported to WP 7 some time next year.
How about them apples?

I serverly doubt there will be a flashable ROM for the HD2, read here, Zarathustrax has a good knowledge of Android ports.

I haven't a clue my friend, Zarathustrax is the man to ask.

I think you should get the HD2. What can the Desire do that that the HD2 can't? And that massive screen dweebs out any other phone on the market. Plus the HD2 is cheaper than the Desire.

If HD2 will get a Stable and fast Android rom.....go to HD2....you will have two SO on a big, big screen.
but just if will have android stable...in contrary....

Things I shouldnt expect from HD2 Android ?

Hi guys,
I might buy a HD2 and I want to do everything that a current DHD or DesireZ can do. So keeping this in mind what are things that I shouldnt expect from HD2 ?
Does it delivers every thing that a nexus one /desire/DZ/DHD deliver ?
I wanted to buy DHD... But its not available in US. Its quite expensive also. And no other options for 4.3 Inch screen
Thanks, Help me decide whether or not to buy this phone as an altenative for desire Z/Desire HD

I don't quite understand what you're asking. You're asking for help with a decision, but from what I'm reading, there is only one option?
To answer your more obvious question, I believe development for DHD/DHZ has stagnated, and the only thing it's missing is the camera. Not sure when/if devs will finish that. The Evo, desire, and nexus builds are pretty much 100% done though
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

If you're in the US, why don't you buy an Evo? I'm sure the new Sense will be ported to it (if it hasn't been already).

If you want the ability to switch between Windows Mobile and different Android builds, get the HD2.
If you want a native Android phone with similar (not the same though, before the pedants flame me) hardware to the HD2 get the Desire.
If you want a more up dated similar Android phone get the Desire HD.
If you want a hardware keyboard get the Z.
Thats pretty much it sport

Thanks
Coming to a conclusion that this phone is not a pure native android phone
Its better I w8 for Nexus S or go with DHD

As a TMOUS user I would just get the Desire HD if it was my first phone and I had the upgrade option. But I didnt, so I wanted the next best thing, a phone I could convert into a Desire HD, which was the HD2. I found one new in the box on craigs list for $250 and shelled out. Studied up on modding it and made it look like the Desire HD.

I'm also a TMOUS user and found one of craigslist for under 200. Until they come out with a new 4.3 android phone, this will be it for me. I don't get the data drops and the only issue I come across is the 10 second lag in autorotate with the touchscreen. I'll take that. If the Desire HD (or comparable) ever comes to the US that's what I will move to

Looks like camera fix is available on Desire HD builds now....

what you shouldn't expect a droid hd2...prefection.some builds are still WIP or some bugs not resolved.
then we have the nand camp who wants droid on their fone,wiping out winmo completely.this is still WIP.and still some impt issues not resolved.
other than that,hd2 is pretty impressive even with stock winmo.not that much of a diff between dhd other than a updated hardware.
if you like cutomising the hell out of ur fone but lack the money,go for hd2.you get spoilt to booting winmo cooked rom or droid builds available in the forums.

I dont know how you don't know that? It's a windows mobile 6.5 phone. How can a windows phone be a pure native android phone? If you are looking for a phone that can do exactly what a DHD or a Desire Z, you would have to get one of those phones as no other phone currently runs the new htc sense. The closest phone to a DHD or a Desire Z in US is an EVO 4G.

[Q] Htc HD2 (leo) is stil a TOP Device!!!!

Just curious what people have to say about this statement...

yes it is , think about it you have 3 phones in one (for now (wm,wp7,android))
wm 500 euro+-
wp7 500 euro+-
android 500 euro+-

In my opinion its the best device but the most people think the phone is "crap" because it is almost 2 years old... and that's wrong! My HD2 is better than DHD and the other ones

Yep, superram froyo still remains one of the fastest roms out there, even faster than nand to me. In fact, it is even faster than my old nexus one and on par with a Vibrant on Darky's 9.3!

Long Live the HD2

I got my own prayer mat - arab worship "Allah"
I worship my HD2 - feel guilty tho' as i'm only praying, praising and thanking my HD2 50 times a day - it deserves more!!
will try to improve error of my ways ;-)
matt

its the best.
It has everything even 720P video recording on windows phone 7 ^^ I mean what more do you really expect of a 2 year old phone

I don't want to jinx it now but I really would not have a single clue what phone would replace my HD2 (running Gingerbread MDJ 2.6) if it went bad!!
love it!

I consider it one of the best phones on the market. Especially considering it's age. The amount of internal memory on the american HD2's is off the chain.
HD2 > Girlfriend

Overall yes i would say so. Reasons being you can get it relatively cheap, it has great/modern hardware, able to boot 4 OSes, meaning it can probably suit everyone's needs, stable/smooth/fast.
However the best device in terms of performance? That's hard to say. In android? It's obviously beaten by other 1ghz android devices. WP7? People are saying it beats even the HD7, but are they comparing it to a HD7 with tweaks also or just stock? Ubuntu it obviously can't compare to a real computer. Winmo it is the best.
But as said, its still the best device overall, atleast in my perspective.

I was eagerly waiting for the 2011 WMC to see what new phones were headed our way this year. I was thouroughly dissapointed to be fair. If I had to get a new phone right now, I would get the best phone currently on the market today which is.. an HD2!

You're damn right !
The more I become familiar with my Leo the more I'm proud of having bought it instead of any common Ifone..

Yeah its still a top device.People are still asking what phone is that or is that the new one,its still a looker,nice and smart,ok its not as nice as HD7 in looks but it can still perform just aswell,This was htcs answer to the Toshiba TG01 and relesed it back in nov 2009 at £499,most people have forgoten the TG01 now,had a look on handtec.co.uk ,Desire HD £369.59 HD7 £371.99 HD2 £367.19 just goes to show,this phone is still holding its value well,its still more expensive new than a desire,all these came out after HD2,you got huge backing on here.it boots several OSs,you cant really ask any more from a phone,its still an amazing phone,never known a device like it and i look a desire hd or an incredible S and i think,my phone can do that,just as good.The HD2,its deffinently a real iPhone killer

i had mine for almost a year now )
tried WM6.5 stock and cooked, android & WP7 a while back
now running imilika`s ginger-sense 2.1 ( very lovely BTW )
the point is, everytime i flash a new OS or a different rom, i feel like having a new device, every OS has its features and feel
its the best device ever

yes yes no 1 ......best phone for now i am using android and love zynge poker live............

What if you ask this question on a Steve's worshipers forum ?
