Well I finally decided to be brave and ordered the DHD I have spent weeks swating up on it and all though there are reports of certain issues there pretty much is with most new phones so hey. Anyway I hope I don't regret it but going from a htc magic I would say anything is better.

Ye I am the same love mobile phones and android like I say coming from a magic I would imagine the sound has got to be a bit better at least even if its on par that would be fine as that's what I am used to.

Totally agree. After 3 weeks of use I can say I honestly made the right choice with this phone and I too am a real phone junkie!
The speaker is the only disappointment for me also. But I love playing my music through my TV/home theatre system via DNLA !
So yeah, you made the right decision.

Congratulations on your decision to buy one of the finest handsets available today.
Apart from the great hardware spec, and high build quality, the new version of sense is hands down the most user friendly interface I have every experienced. Sense was good before but now it is even better. It really feels like htc have worked very hard to make it live up to it's name.
I have had one for exactly three hours now and enjoying it immensely. I am also enjoying the buzz of being 1337 and exclusive. These phones are normally impossible to get here in New Zealand right now and I hold one of the few in this country in my hand.
I'm going to enjoy the feeling of exclusivity while it lasts. This is the kind of phone android has been needing to take the iphone on head to head against "normal" consumers.

couldn't agree more, im new to android and i love it and the DHD ,yes there are issues(prox sensor/ youtube crash etc), but i know for a fact that if you went on the samsung page or go on the nexus2 page when its out they all will have a few issues that needed sorted
for me i love sense the fact you can have whatever widgets or apps on whatever page in what ever lay out you want is great, i got it mainly for
web browsing excellent
email and text excellent
games excellent
video play back , still trying to find a convertor that doesn't give me audio out of sync issues but ill solve this one no bother like most devices, file formats can be a nightmare
i came from a HTC TP2 which had the best keyboard of any phone but was let down as it was underpowered and had a resistive screen
Congrats
Only the speaker sound it very bad i hope HTC will set the volume higher with a update i hope so
And great phone !!
I have got mine from yesterday. Uh, time to learn bit more. After 3 years with iPhone in the pocket it will take some time to use to it.
But I am very happy with my choice.
Just checked iPhone and DHD speaker and DHD is far louder than 3GS. Maybe because it has much less bass.
I now have mine and loving every minute of it. Its a brilliant phone I don't seem to have all the troubles that most report although I have not been able to replicate lag issue I put USB debug on right away. I do think the covers are pretty shocking and they do seem to not be a perfect fit bit I have a silicone case anyway so does not bother me love this phone and can't put it down!

I would go for Desire HD. Materials and general quality. (Galaxy is plastics)
But it depends in your needs and likes, and price. Sure other people will write big explanations.
Nice upgrade anyway!
eva since my sister shown me the galaxy s i wanted it but i really like the desire as well hmmmmmm but my network offers me a good deal on the galaxy s 300 mins 3000 text and 500mb internet 25.50 a month

htc desire hd has a flasher bigger memory has 2fps better
but from i can see the galaxy s is porting stuf from htc
but i really wana keep the phone stock but them again i like to play so hmmmmmmmmm
The Galaxy S was the first smartphone I bought and it's a great phone. Swype is one of THE best apps I've ever used and I dearly wish it was available on the Wildfire as typing this reply with a bog-standard keyboard is a major PITA.
I principally bought the Galaxy S because it was the biggest screen on the market at the time and watching videos on a small screen blows. Of course, there are now phones with bigger screens, so I've upgraded to the Nexus S. Another key factor in my upgrade decision was that Samsung took a long time to upgrade the Galaxy S from Eclair to Froyo and I didn't want to wait for them to upgrade it to Gingerbread so I bought the Nexus S. AFAIK, to date Samsung have no plans to upgrade the Galaxy S to Gingerbread.
So I suggest you factor this in to your purchase decision and try and really focus on what you're looking for in a smartphone.
I've also just discovered the world of custom ROMs so now I find I'm going to sell my Galaxy S (and possibly my Nexus S - while the secondhand prices are still high) as I'm enjoying my (small and thin) Wildfire + custom ROMs so much that I hardly ever use the other two phones.
So my advice to you is to seriously think about what it really is you like about the hardware. As the software you can change.

REally?!?! You have Galaxy S, Nexus S, but you prefer Wildfire?? I have too much envy right now!!! But it's a little strange, isn't it? I mean they are fantastic phones and Wildfire is great, but no so powerful!
Yes, it surprises me as well that I find the Wildfire to be more to my liking. I guess I just like its size compared to the others. Each to his own, but it has been an expensive exercise for me to find out what I really like.

i got a samsung galaxy s for my gf. its a really nice phone, but she did experience an issue with the battery. it would hardly last 14 hrs. (with GPS, background data disabled, only 2G mode and abt an hour wi-fi use)
Not to worryed about battery as I usally have ne phone either plugged into my pc or on charge whilst im on my motobike so not to fussed about battery life

I thought it was kinda neat at first. I almost wanted one then I started thinking about it and looking at the pictures and video. I saw the hinge on it and how thin it was and I knew that might break easily.
I don't really know what new kind of phone would make me want to get another one. A tablet seems like a neat toy, but after my epic experience, I will not buy another samsung device. I read that there was a rumor about htc getting into the tablet market. That might interest me. I don't want to get another account for it though. I would want a wifi only model. If I couldn't get that then I guess I would get a regular one and only use it on wifi and not 3g.
I saw the new motorola tablet too but I ain't paying around 800 for that! Yeah I could get it cheaper on a contract but I don't want to go that route. I'd just use wifi tether from my shift for the tablet and maybe just keep the phone in my pocket.

Tablets are nice. I've got an iPad from work, and it's replaced about 80% of my laptop usage. The Motorola Xoom looks like it'd be REALLY nice, but the price is just too outrageous, not to mention it sounded like there was a requirement of getting at least a 1 month plan on Verizon in order to use WiFi at all. I'd love it if HTC got into the market with a nice, solid tablet. Something with plenty of metal on it the way most of their phones are.
Bulky
Looks nice, but a bit bulky. Looks to be several inches deep and not comfortable for everyday carry, at least for me.
As for tablets, I have an unofficial 7" Chinese android tablet that I love. The processor is a bit slow, but I bought it mostly for Internet surfing and book reading which it does well.
the new Echo is an interesting idea, but i think most of us who went with the shift won't give up a physical keyboard for two displays.
as for tablets, if you want a cheap and functional tablet, see if you can get your hands on a Nook Color, then head over to the nook forums and see about rooting it, turning it into a fully functional android tablet
$249 for the nook and a few hours getting it set up and off you go.
I am personally not impressed with the dual screen phones. I think they look stupid and I will never trade in my HW Keyboard. I have big hands and the keyboard makes it so much easier to type.
Total garbage.

Kyocera + Nintendo DS clone...
To hell with it. Since when has Kyocera EVER made a phone that was even enjoyable for anything besides phone calls (if even?)
Although, video calls could be pretty sweet if they actually take advantage of both screens. Actually have a big enough preview of yourself to see if anything embarrassing is laying around!

To me it looks awkward and I just wouldn't trust Kyocera.
Very interesting concept and if it shows promise I'm sure HTC, LG, Moto, or Samsung will give it a go.
Apple will probably come out with it and act like they invented it. Then all the Appholes will parade around with dual screen iPhones.
I just happened to stumble across info for the nook color and rooting it and adding stuff to it. It looks kinda interesting. 250 for a wifi version and I'm guessing some time rooting and adding programs. Not too bad. It seems not as powerful as a regular tablet but you can't complain about the price.
Hmmmmm
I did consider getting the Echo by trading in the Shift within the return period, but meh. Too late now anyways. I have a feeling there won't be that much dev work on it if for no other reason than it's made by Kyocera which has little to no third party support as it is on their existing line.
Kyocera is a joke. This phone might appeal to a small market but holy **** it's ugly. And to think it was Sprint's big announcement... an even bigger joke. Wow. It's like Sprint WANTS to lose customers (bumping prices, cutting benefits, no amazing phones to lure people in). Sad, really.

Good day all,
I've had my Galaxy S II for about 2 months now and I love how it works.
But still, it seems that my hands are a bit too small to type good with just 1 hand..
Therefore I was thinking of getting it replaced with an iPhone 4.
Now I was wondering if you guys think I would regret it?
The thing I'm most worried about is the speed of the web browsing. Is it really that slow on the iPhone that I will have to wait much longer than on Galaxy S II?
Also, does anyone know if I can get text reflow on iPhone when I jailbreak it?
Thank you very much already for any answers.
Kind regards,
Hybbie

If you really wont to switch to iOS i'd wait till the iPh*** 5/4s comes out, rather than buying the old model...
EDIT: in terms of web-browsing, it isn't that much slower! (if you can live w/o flash...) iOS runs DAMN fast, even on bad hardware! (i compared my lovely SGS 2 to a friends iP4...)
Try Swype and you will forget about iPhones all together....
Yeah, I think you should switch.
To be honest only you can answer this. I personally would regret it. But that's because I've owned 3 android phones. I had the zte blade first,then the awful wildfire,and now this! Certainly my best phone. When i look at an iphone i think yeah it does some good stuff but is so bland.
No widgets and your rammed with apple stuff and forced to do things the apple way if your not willing to jail break the device.
Android devices are customizable out of the box and allow you to play about with how it looks straight away.
Like i said its solely down to you we are all going to favour each device in some way and the majority likely to follow the good ol S2! Anyway regarding the size surely its of a similar height/width?!?

Why would you ever switch from the Blade to the Wildfire? That's a straight downgrade.
iOS is great if you're fine with having only icons on your screen... iPhone 4 still wins display clarity IMO... but GS2 has richer colours.
browsing isn't that bad on iPhone but it is noticeably faster on GS2... antenna is better.
I agree... wait for iPhone 5\4Gs whatever they call it.
Apple products are all overpriced pieces of Sh*t. Don't bother with it.
You will lose a lot of normal functions (Bluetooth as an example. Has to go trough Itunes or something like that -.-'')
Just get a keyboard that suits you better. Swype should be included.
As a person that sells phone here's my thoughts... iPhone stunning design and well easy to use. But this is where it ends as HTC etc have android now its easy to use but look at the way it does things... syncing android is instant with Gmail, plug it into pc it turns into a external hard drive/memory card drag and drop any file you want to it from any pc of Mac.
Bluetooth isn't just for audio.
You can customize it all day and all night uses a micro USB cable everywhere has one. Memory cards not built in memory. Give you a idea in the shop where I work we sell around 55 contracts a week and since the first week of Jan we have only sold 4 iphones. That is a very low number as of android handsets we have done say 75% of all contract sold

After that, I'll have to see like everyone else hours it stands against GSII.

I agree with everything above. Again, it boils down to what is important for you. I also thought about iPhone 4, but SGS II prevailed big time, due to things I do with it. You can copy music, videos, pictures any time, hassle free. Really. I never really felt comfortable working with iTunes, never knew what stuff would be deleted. Big argument for me also was the ability to copy and play divx files without needing to convert. I watch loads of movies; just copy to phone and you're good to go. It's a cheesy line really, but think what you plan to do with it.
I went with SGS II and do not regret.

There's a swype version on cydia btw and it looks to be working well judging by the youtube video
If you dont mind the boring walls of icons then youll be fine with the iPhone 4 which has better battery life and gps and the apps to boot.
You'll be missing things like the filesystem and the tweaking on the SGS2 though
Don't forget the loss of flash and better media playback.
So NewEgg has a deal on the Galaxy tab currently (30 dollars off plus 50 dollar gift card) and was wondering if it is still something worth buying. Considering the progress made with HC as is, I can only expect it to get better if/when Google releases source.
For the price, is it still something you would buy today?
I just bought mine a couple of weeks ago and have no complaints. It gets used way more than my Asus Transformer does. I love the 7" screen, perfect size for me.

Was looking at the transformer too. May I ask why? Is it too big?
Exactly. Try reading a book with a 10" device always seem to need two hands. Typing with both thumbs on the Tab vs finger pecking on the transformer. The size of the 7" is perfect for me.

I'm still looking to get one. Which version is on sale?
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
its worth buying if you can get a deal.
As mentioned above 7" is a major bonus. By implication though it means you really want 3G as well. When I was contracting (and hence moving around, taking a lot of different public transport routes etc.) it was an awesome travel companion. It also makes it a great ereader in a pinch.
Custom ROM it and performance is pretty good, esp. as Samsung's browser is hardware accelerated.
If its going to be sitting on your coffee table w/ wifi though, or the price is comparable to a 'current' honeycomb Tegra 2 10" slab, I'd go honeycomb/dual core. There's not much of an upgrade path for it, honeycomb is going to be an unofficial port (if at all?)
I got mine at a knockdown price and really like it. However I still wouldn't have paid RRP for it (by the same token I'm not paying RRP for transformer etc. or even ipad so duh)

Agreed... pretty easy to find on ebay or CL for $250 or less... picking up another one tomorrow for $200... Almost as good a deal as the HP TP and a lot more clarity about its future, apps, upgradability, etc.
It's still a great device. Is it the newest and latest? Nope. Will it run tons of great apps and be a solid performer for most of your uses? Sure! Now is also the time to snap up cheap discounted cases and other accessories for the 7".
I flashed the Overcome ROM on mine after I was tired of waiting on T-Mobile for the 2.3 update. That's a great ROM. Super battery life, video calling (with FFC working great) via Google Talk, excellent ebook reader, calls over Google Voice with Groove IP, etc etc.
I say this even though I also have the Galaxy 10.1. That's for lazy home use. I can take the 7" with me just about everywhere.

funny, I have the same mindset/usage pattern between my Galaxy Tab and my iPad...
I been hearing great things about the SGS2 so I set aside the cash for it and yesterday went to get it but came back without making the purchase.
When I held it in my hands I just couldnt figure out how the puny screen could be any better than my SGT. Battery life is similar, I can run similar or same applications and both can do depending on what I install from the market. With the custom ROMs my SGT OS is probably higher version, less buggy and smoother than what I would get on the SGS2. Yea there might be some new high tech capabilities but do I need it. Most likely not and at this time don't even know what they are.
So I gave up the idea of going smaller than the 7". Quite a while back I kicked the idea of going bigger than 7". I can still put my SGT in my back pocket or my jacket breast pocket and cary it with me anywhere. Try doing that with anything biger than 7".
For me there is absolutely no good reason to go for anything else for a while.
Yep, still worth buying.

New or used?
I'm looking at buying another used one for $200CDN for my GF. She prefers the Galaxy Tab over the Transformer as well.
I'm thinking about buying 3 of these for the office because of the portability. It would make a great tool for our QC department.
Definitely worth buying. Look at my signature of what I have had and look at which tab is still standing. The 7" form factor is the best. Not to mention this thing plays any video I've thrown at it. Such was not the case for the others tabs.

Floor model from Brandsmart.
It seems that we are all thinking the same.
Its great product, and still worth of buying if you can find it for the right price.

you cant go wrong with the latest release from Overcome Team. I cant think of any further improvements they could come up with but I am quite sure they will.

Or it can be bought from me.
Shameless plug for my thread in the marketplace.
