Desire HD vs. Inspire - Desire HD General

I made a trip up to Canada and went in to a cell store to see what kind of phones they have in Canada compared to in the US and I have the Inspire right now and I saw a desired HD and picked it up and could not tell a difference between the two besides the back where the HTC logo is compared to the ATT logo. Is there a difference between the phones or is it one is "4g" and the other is not.
Thanks

No there isnt, not at all.jsut the carrier and the name of course.
But I wanted the htc logo too instead of the at&t one...

Yes there are differences:
Inspire has a S-LCD screen - Desire HD has normal LCD!
4 GB storage - Desire has 1 GB storage
Inspire has a secondary mic for noise canceling - Desire has not!

Desire HD has also super-lcd.

Unless htc changed it the desire hd only has LCD.

Desire HD also has s-lcd. And the Desire HD has 1.5GB of internal memory. The inspire has 4GB. Other than the logo everythiong else is exactly the same. And my Telus DHD also has the secondary mic. I believe the newer DHD models do now. The Telus DHD and Inspire have same the North American 3G bands unlike the European version.

The Inspire does not have 4g internal memory, thats what At&t says but it only has 1 gb.

Only 1gb is user accessable, the rest is reserverd for the os. Taking a look at the ruu its almost its 1.7gb uncompressed. So it would have to have more than 1gb for all that bloat

^ then shouldnt the desire hd have the same?? If it only has 1gb of internal storage then shouldnt there be like -2gb for personal use?lol
So basically its the same ~_~
Im not sure about the mic and stuff though,

Personally I think they do the same amount but its just a marketing by att to make it sound even better. "4gb internal plus 8gb external" to give it the fake wow factor same as their "4g". Just marketing and small little fine print.
I think the only actual difference is the extra Mike. Frequency bands not with standing. I have read of few people say their desire HD have the slcd and I believe the telus version does have the Mike. So I don't know what HTC is doing

You mean Mic?lol
and yeah I agree...

Lol yeah. Got to love the auto correct.

Even with having a single mic, my DHD seems to do a better job at noise reductions than most other phones do. Voice actions records my voice and shows the wave perfectly, and executes perfectly even if I'm in a noise street. My friend's Desire S (3 mics I think) doesn't do nearly that, and gives huge "block" as the wave after a voice command.

Then I am quite glad I purchased the Telus DHD instead of the inspire. I am on a full feature phone unlimited data plan ($10/month). And ATT doesn't seem to be able to detect this phone.

without hesitation I prefer the DHD

Why not just release Desire HD for the whole world? Why restrict it to EU and then make a slightly different one with a different name for US? Weird... s:
Because North Americans like to be "unique"
Is not us north Americans who want to be unique, In this case AT&T wants to have its way as always and restrict the phone and add their usual brand crap. If only HTC would sell it US VERSION UNLOCKED I would pay 600 for it.
I think the mentality is different in the US. People don;t usually buy SIM free phones at the full price there. Most get locked in a contract in which you get a free phone.
Moreover, the US uses different 3G bands than the rest of the world (except Telstra).
HTC Inspire (AT&T) is in FACT a Desire HD (ACE).
There will be plenty of good firmware available for it, including CM7.

The inspire is not a desire HD, for starters its a 4G device, so it will need totally diffrent radios, as for roms, i wouldnt be suprised if it had a revised hardward setup meaning it will need its own roms...

I got rid of the garbage phone called the Inspire after like 5 days. The battery life blows big time and the speaker volume at max sounds like a stereo on volume level 3. The atrix runs much better IMO and is more future proof. It may not have all the ROMs and Kernels the Inspire does but oh well I'd rather not carry a charger around everywhere I go or miss phone calls and texts due to a horrendous speaker.
U are right so far thats what i dont like about the inspire. But hows the atrix? Is it hard to root and can i get custom rooms?

I have both phones and I do say that the Atrix does have a better speaker. When you root and put another ROM on the Inspire that sound quality and volume improves signifigantly.
Also by flashing another ROM on the Inspire the battery life improved as well. I also picked up a spare 1800mAh batter from www.obostore.com and my battery life is even better. Also throwing juicedender on your phone also improves a lot. You can totally customize your battery with just that app.
For me it was a tuff choice to make but I decided to keep both of them. I love HTC and the sense UI. It trully feels personalized with how much HTC software is put into the phone. The Atrix is more bland but what it lacks in sytle it makes up in power. The performance difference between the two phones is noticable in the Atrix favor. It's going to be interesting to see how the Atrix holds up against the LG Thrill with the dual core TI processor. I have my money on the graphics processor company instead of the the calculator manufacturer.
So what would you recomend

I leave it up to the end user. If you like the software that HTC provides then go with that. Also the 4.3" is really nice to have.
The Atrix has that raw power that practically no phones pocess to date. It's really a hard choice in my opinion. Both phones are going to be good choices. If price is a matter then deff go with the Inspire.
I dont care bout price i just want to have the top of the line phone but i hate apple and its isucks i mean iphone

I tried the Inspire on Thursday. The HTC sense was awesome, But the
speaker volume is low and tiny. Also noticed signal strength was not as
good as my iphone. I returned it yesterday. I'm thinking of going back to AT&T today to pickup an Atrix.
well i've had my atrix for a few weeks now and i would definitly recommend it over the inspire, it's not hard to root, and the ADEO rom is really nice, u can't really fully get the feel of a phone in the store(i found that out back when i had the HTC Touch Pro 2 which i regret buying), but the Atrix totally blows the inspire out of the water when it comes to performance and that's a major key when buying a phone, yea the outside of the phone is important to, but you wouldn't buy a Ferrari with the engine of a pinto lol, so definitly go with the Atrix
Thsnks a lot i think im go to att today and getthe atrix

All the so called issues u are referring to can be fixed by flashing a custom rom. I was torn between making a decision but I chose the inspire because the atrix clearly lacks dev support. I like modding and overclocking. The atrix looks like a beast but there are no true mods for it. Who wants gingerblur? Lol

But I would suggest watching videos and looking in forums because you may want the phone for diff reasons. I buy phones based on what it can do after root.

Had an inspire, tried like 4 roms, audio fixes, OCing, and cm7. Same story crappy to almost acceptable battery life, low volume, bogs even with a 1.8 oc because it's still a single core cpu, almost no internal media storage, and slower ddr ram.
The only things the inspire has over the atrix imo is bigger screen (which could go either way based on preference)and hsupa (which att is enabling 4g in april supposedly so thats valid for only another month). I'd mention roms as a plus but all the do is try to fix the crap already wrong with the phone.

Don't know if anyone has posted this or not, but the size is what made me go with the Atrix. The Inspire made me shift my hand to reach the unlock button, then shift again to reach the home or back button. The Atrix just fits.

Thanks for the reply. What I noticed is that the Samsung has less RAM.
Samsung phones suck. Big time. No way in hell would I trade my phone for that piece if crap.

i agree with the other posters...i had a samsung phone...never again...support sucks and will continue to suck
Actually, my girl has this phone, and has had no problems with it at all. while ive had to warranty out mine over four times now (mt4g), she hasnt even had a problem with it. if you are looking for something new, it wouldnt be a bad trade.
Agree with the rest..
The only products that Samsung makes that are decent are their dumbphones and the Galaxy Tab... Keep the MT4G and wait for the next gen on HTC phones...
My friend has a galaxy 4g, and we did a few tests:
Web browsing : glacier is faster
Camera: glacier is much faster, by that i mean the time from unlock to actually have a photo taken, i prob could have taken a pic and put my phone away before he takes a pic. but galaxy has builtin stitch but no flash.
Screen: i like the lcd better than led, the led has a blue tint to it unless you are looking straight on, the old galaxy had settings for tuning color, but cant find it in the 4g one.
Speaker : galaxy won for sure, glacier 's speaker is a joke.
Wifi module : galaxy can get on wifi within 5 seconds, my glacier takes at least 10, if not 15.
I am starting to like soft keys but rather have a track pad and deal with the clicking.
Mods: from what i have heard, galaxy doesn't have much of development.
TLR = no. Keep the myTouch 4G

Not much... ram is important, the more the merrier. Cpu you can always overclock but with ram you are stuck with whatever built-in. Besides, htc vs samsuck is no comparison at all. Just my 2 pennies

[Q] HTC one x

What are your thoughts?
Is this enough for you to leave T-Mobile for AT&T?
Just posted about the One S which is coming to t-mobile, check the general section for the link...will be dual core with sense 4.0 out of the box...think I will be staying myself, though at&t's version does sound better...
Nothing short of a gun to my head would make me switch to AT&T - A.K.A. the slime of humanity. Even then I'd have to think about it.
You know humanity has gone down the toilet when people are willing to chase a phone to join a carrier that they hate, because leasing (yeah, I said leasing) a phone that is grossly overpowered to perform phone-like tasks, is a life-defining event.
Then again, it already happened numerous times over with the iPhone, so why not with the One X?
I have never been on AT&T, only Sprint and T-mobile. I am not thrilled about Tmo as I think Sprint was better for me in my area. I just think it is a shame that tmo gets the second hand htc one..s.. Then they have the nervous to go and announce it as if it is a game changer
you guys do know that the HTC One X on AT&T is also a dual core processor right?
only the International version of the HTC One X will be Quad Core...

Pretty much. Either the one x or s. Basically the same (the U.S. versions) but the s has a .4 inch smaller screen and is qhd samoled as opposed to super LCD hd on the x. Imo you can't go wrong with either one.

If im correct I read from a site which all said that T-Mobile will get the Tegra 3 version that AT&T Snapdragon S4. Also a stock version of Ice Cream Sandwich (Plus the Beats & Camera) as well like how they did with LG Optimus 2X which got rid of all 'LGs' things etc.
Now my 'opinion'.
The Snapdragon S4 is a better choice and its a shame its only for AT&T. Reason?
Dual Core Cortex A-15 'More Power efficient' which means less heat plus manufactured on a 'die' of 28nm. This phone should be hard to get hot or even warm.
Im sure many of you had a dual core phone, seriously how hot does that get while playing game? Galaxy S2 for example, or even Galaxy Nexus :\!
Nevermind Quad A9! The Companion Core won't kick in when your gaming...

HTC didn't really make many T-Mobile phones of that generation. Just the MT4G AND G2. Spec-wise, the Samsung Galaxy S 4G is similar, but the Vibrant has much better support by devs here.
I think you can also unlock the Infuse 4G to run on TMO, but I'd check on that yourself to see if you can get it to run on TMO's 4G network. Otherwise, sell it, save up some cash, and buy a T989 used. Some great ROMs for us over there.
root it through a custom rom on it, sell it for $120
