What phone will you take after your HD2?

Hi there,
I was wondering what phone you would get, after your hd2...
Still love this phone and don't know wich phone to take... i'm start looking for a phone on wich i can just as hd2 can tweak alot
On hd2 i can use WP7 + alot of different android roms.... and (still using) windows mobile... For example i havn't find a gps nav software like igo 8 for android or wp7
What phone will you get after your hd2? And why?
Just wondering
Bye

Another HD2 ?
I looked into this but seriously there isn't one that i would like it to be the replacement for my HD2, i had a desire (great AMOLED screen but meh), a Desire HD (very nice phone, no extended battery but meh, just android?)..and so on.

uhm...i'd pick any phone that's prettier than my hd2..and a phone that won't freeze on me after every text or so..also..i have a thing for slide phones..i'm sorry i cant deal with full touch screens...>__<..i'm considering the myTouch (violet) phone...but i don't like the tiny screen... =[ *sniffles* if only my hd2 could have all the cute lil android stuff...

Just bought another hd2...
It will run wp 7 and Android.. .
This phone is da bomb!

can anyone help me
i think of getting a used htc hd2 am really amazed by the multi os system am getting it at resonable price of around 13000 INR its 6 months old and is in good condition
if i get it now wont it be like am missing out any thing that present has to offer????
so what do guys suggest this phone or any other???

buying used HD2 is some kind of risk. Everybody knows about it`s issues with CPU heating and damaging digitizer with constant pressing red/cancel button.
But this phone is definitely unique, especially at nowadays price. Not the most powerful but the most customizable

so is there anyway to determine the digitizer and stuff are in good shape?
Phone i saw looks gud atlst otsde is gud
n ya nt mst powrfull device bt stil a 1ghz processor is stil gud aint it?

I'm thinking of buying the Galaxy Nexus because it seems to be a really great phone.
But the fact is that the HD2 is the best phone if you want to change roms, try windows, meego, ubuntu, android.
So I'm still hesitating.
The best thing would be to find a ne phone (faster one) with the same dev community

I'm trying to hold out until the HTC EDGE is out about March next year according to a HTC rep I was speaking to.
Unfortunately for me my back button on the HD2 has just stopped working today
Hoping I can find a way to fix it.

I'm also asking myself the question about what next after HD2 because mine just have this damned digitizer problem : no way to unlock the screen !!!
I've tried 3 Android ROMs , 1 WM ROM and even the Orange stock ROM : same problem everytime so it's definitely a hardware problem...
The Samsung Galaxy S2 looks nice, but I wonder about its quality and ability to be customized.

The best thing to do is figure out what you want it for. I'd probably go with a sensation or Droid RAZR depending on what has more activity on XDA. Honestly that's the only real way to go forward IMO. Track new phone progress on XDA and see which ones have a lot of progress and supoort in CM and other devs. Then get that used on Craigslist or eBay before it becomes super popular. I got the HD2 when Android still didn't work on it, and that let me pick it up for $115 then second one I got was 2 months later and it was already $150. Now, almost 2 years later it's $250. That's just amazing. The same thing might happen to other phones once they get good dev support on XDA and you have a bunch of code heads trying to pick them up used.
Sensation, RAZR, Thunderbolt, MyTouch 4g is okay. I'd just stick with good companies with good support. HTC IMO is the best there is for smartphones.

Many phones are good for customisation. The only problem is the dev community.
We should all choose the same new phone so that we can have a great community.
So, go galaxy nexus^^

galaxy note
I'll be getting galaxy note. Once you get used to a big screen, you'll never be satisfied with smaller one.

I am thinking SGS2, looks like there will soon be some good DEV's shifting to it.

Ye, that was I thought too. I've cheked some tests, benchmarks etc and Galazy note is the best phone on the marked. I've played with Galaxy S II and it's fastest device i saw. All the test says that Galaxy Note is even faster and better.

Good buy Hero you will be missed :'(

Just got my new Galaxy Nexus today so have to say good buy to my Hero but I will be selling it to my flat mate for £45, Thanks to all the devs that created the ROM's and thanks to any one that gave me support even when I asked stupid questions but I'm so glad to have a new phone that is fast but I will always remember my Hero as it was my first Android phone and I loved it .

Same story here. It started on Android 1.5. Now it runs ginger 2.3.5. Quite a lot of updates i would say. Best phone...

I agree...

Jep its sad to say but Hero is slowly getting to old.
Maybe I give him a bite of IceCreamSandwich and try going with it, if it turns out ICS is his Kryptonite and makes my Hero weak and slow.
I will release him and he has to stay on Gingerbread.

I'm also waiting for a Galaxy Nexus to retire the HTC Hero.
After that, I'll try out different Roms that may not be so stable.
I'm going to try some Roms with updated HTC Sense versions.

Still using Hero but with Custom Rom Elelinux-7.1. Speed is not too bad after OC, but definitely can't run any 3D or heavy app.

Ditto, had my Galaxy Nexus a couple of weeks ago, holding my Hero now it feels tiny! And thick lol. (that sounded a bit dodgy..)
Anyway yeh it was a great phone, I shall miss it!

Aww man, this phone is legend you shouldn't had sell it, I'm going to keep mine forever till it dies. I'm now using the ICS 4.0.1 rom from Glassmacka and it's quite stable and fast. Not for daily usage yet though. But it's nice to see it work so well on it.
ICS rom for Hero

Same here, not long got an upgrade to an HD Desire, Thanks Elelinux for the great Roms, gonna miss coming to this part of the forum.

i'm sad to say that you may be right about the hero being 'past its sel by date'. i remember when you could have a phone for 3 or 4 years and it would still be considered a good phone but nowadays with the amount of competition it seems something new and 'improved' comes out every week.
i'm actually considering getting a new phone myself but for the life of me i can't decide what to get.
currently i'm thinking about getting either the iPhone 4s (i can see me getting some hate for even mentioning that but i like the apps haha), HTC Sensation XE or HTC Sensation XL
what are your opinions on those phones?? perhaps you could help me decide?????

I'll be honest with you fella, both the sensations you mentioned are rubbish. (IN THE CURRENT MARKET) Either get the galaxy nexus or the iphone 4s, nothing better going tbh.

Well, the XE isn't THAT bad, but unless you really want HTC I would go for something else. Galaxy Nexus is nice, but you might want to take a look at the sgs2 as it has better gpu than the nexus and the price has dropped a bit and I hate iPhone, so yeah I usually say iPhone is for those who cannot use Android (from the android is for those who cannot afford iPhone thingy ) ...
sent with love from me to you

thanks one and all

Just wanted to say i have been an avid lover of my hd2 and this site for the past 2 years.
Not sure i made the right choice but i have just bought an evo3d simply because it was cheap with changing my phone i have also changed my userid.
So i just wanted to say many thanks to all the wonderful members and developers here that have helped me and my phone flourish. This was my first ever phone and i cannot believe how good it was.
Thanks.

I also upgraded to a Galaxy Nexus. It's not the same as the HD2. It was a cult.
What did you do with your old HD2. Sell it?

hey mate i really liked the look of the nexus or the s2 but with all the hype about the quad cores i was going to wait. but the deal on the evo was too good really.
i sold my hd2 to a relation they are still selling on ebay for nearly 150 they are a good phone. i reckon i will end up buying it back off him soon.
what did you do with yours?

I still have it. It has the NexusHD2 ICS Beta10 on it and other than the fast battery drain, I actually like it more than my new Nexus. I like the heavy, solid feel and the hard buttons.
I will see how the new HTC Edge/Endeavor is received and I might upgrade.

Yea I just upgraded too, but got the Samsung Galaxy S II, miss my HD2 a little, had it since launch, but my power button was out and I didn't fill like cracking it open. I'll still flash it every so often, theres not many ROMS for this phone yet, but ICS is coming, sooooo.

It's the very good phone. I'm using it and don't have any complaint about it.

Agreed, Thanks to one and all!!!
I've only recently received by HD2 as a hand me down with win6.5
Took the plunge last night and put Nexus ICS CM9 on it.

No probs so far.
From what I've read and searched, this little unit is going to be a rippa to work with - so looking forward to it.

I've been thinking about upgrading to a newer phone, but there are none that match the versatility of the HD2 yet! I don't know if we'll ever have another one as awesome either . I'm going to continue using my HD2 for the rest of the year, and buy the 2nd gen Xiaomi phone. It sounds like the closest thing to an HD2 follow-up to me.

The little device that could

I'm so proud of the HD2 , its grown up so nicely. Surpassed benchmarks people said it never would. I miss my HD2 I had 3 of them and kept breaking them One got trampled on by a few thousand people at a concert , one got dropped and broke into a thousand pieces and one I busted the screen up bad. I figured it was time to move on. I just wasn't having any luck with keeping a HD2 intact.
And now I have a mytouch 4g slide LOVE IT . But I still miss my HD2 and to add insult to injury YOU FREAKING GUY'S HAD CM9 BEFORE MY CURRENT DUAL CORE DEVICE!!! Unreal. I hope devs never give up on this phone. If my MT4GS ever breaks I think ill be getting another hd2.

Farewell my 'ol friend

Now its been 2 years with the HTC HD2 and I was really excited about what the phone actually can do.
I cheated in my finals, I lost my gf, anyway when I was in trouble, in a ****ty situation my HD2 helped me with any app, mod or anything.
From now my new mate will be the HTC One. The Change had only one reason: my HD2 was too 'old' and 'slow' for me.
I wanted a newer one, a faster one with more tweaks and mods.
But I didn't want, that my HD2 RIP and wastes in my showcase. So what I did is: flashed the latest rom (Touchwizmod), and gave it to my younger sister with the wise words: it can be your best friend, it was my light in the darkness. Handle it good!
So I think this was a good decision 'cause my sister is also interested in modding.
Yesterday I checked the last time the threads of http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=928, I did a last full wipe, charged the battery full and plugged my charger off for ever.
All in all, it was a long journey with you my pal, but for now i have to say thank you and have to reach the crown of smartphones further.

Still a better love story than Twilight
Personally im torn bout selling my oldie, pissed of by Android, moved to WP. Let's see how it can impress me ( marketplace SUX BALLS )
