Hi forum...
If I want to buy a new phone now, replacing my X10, not because I hate my X10, but because I would love to play with custom roms, then what phone should I go out and buy?
I have 2 or 3 things I would want in the phone, though.
1. good working gps reciver.
2. Fm radio.
3. Nice big screen and battery.
I have NOTHING against the X10, I only want a phone more for fun, and to play with custom roms...

i would suggest Desire HD
If you are a ROM freak HTC is the way to go.

How did you know it is great ? Have you used it ? Sure the ROM in that is great but what about other aspects of the phone ? Do you know it has a good working GPS ? Do you know it has a FM Radio as OP has asked for ? And do you know if its not going to be locked down ?
This looks promising. Teathered too...

The desire hd looks insane good. Makes the iphone4 look 5 years old.
well for sure, not a SE anymore
my nect could be an evo or the nectversion of it xD
I'm going with Captivate.
Worse camera and GPS issues but better CPU/GPU, good screen, more ram, hacked bootloader, custom roms (just not a froyo one still, but it will and at least it already has 2.1). Desire HD is nice but plain expensive still (it's new anyway).
HTC is the way to go because as i see it the HTC phones have the most customs roms available and are better supported by devs and HTC.
I had a HTC Hermes, after that a Diamond, after that a Touch HD, and all of them were supported by devs and flashed Roms every day.
I must say that were great times. I hope we can do it on our X10 sooner or later.
I would buy a Desire HD
I would go for desire HD or a gsm version of droid x.
I'd wait to see what WP7 has to offer. The UI looks unique and sleek. X10 styled WP7 will be attractive if it comes early.
HTC Desire HD will be my next phone, and i have already pre orderd it.
Honestly, if Apple allowed Widgets, I might go that route - but they don't so I'd lean to something like a Driod X.
I'm hoping I can get my hands on a desire hd for sure....if not I will definitely be going back to HTC....I do love my X10 a lot....but I hate SE now lol.
I'm currently looking at the HTC HD2 right now...I really like winmo to...I might give it a shot.

desire z
pros
better screen not so washed out
can overclock to1.9ghz but i think dhd can do that in no time
better battery life ( i think)
Cons
hinge problem although not everyone is having this problem
desire HD
Pros
bigge screen
more popular than desire z in my opinion so will have more custom roms
Cons
washed out screen
battery life

Are you sure about the desire Z being overclocked to 1.9ghz as it has only got a 800mhz processor to start with instead of the 1ghz in the dhd?
Its true,
The difference is noone has tried to push the DHD into "dangerous" voltages yet.
Probably due to the price.
Amazing!! I wouldnt have thought that was possible on the face of it!
Tell ya what, it looks like as ones get a bit more adventurous with the dhd we will have a lot to look forward to development and overclocking wise!
I have an HD but played with the Z keyboard for a short time and was really impressed with it. The best physical keyboard I have ever used on a smartphone. It made me realise the limitations of soft keyboards - even the excellent soft keyboard on the HD. It looked a nice piece of kit too. Can't comment on its battery but I can confirm that the HD's battery is utter ****e.
hi all...
i m looking forward to buy a new android phone. i have 3 options.
1. HTC Desire
2. HTC HD2
3. Samsung Galaxy S I9000
can u help me choose please? which one u think is better and why?
desire/hd2, i prefer the desire though, hd2 has a lot of stuff going on around in dev, flash like crazy haha (im not a flashaholic), but then again it is fun to try out quad-boot os on your phone, id just stick with android though
Galaxy s = iphone knock off plus crap build quality and lag.

Nah... Desire is old... IMO if you want a Desire you might as well get a Nexus One. But I'm a geek

Oooooh you were sticking to the OP's choices. lol
hd2 provides you with a bigger screen but with less color compare to desire... hd2 has also a newer processor, but his running wm... I would take hd2 and flash it to run android...
Galaxy s may be the best on paper but its laggy. If you want to mod it go for the hd2. If you want an official gingerbread update go 4 the desire

lol.... yeah i limited the choice to these 3 phones, because cellphones are are really expensive here in Pakistan.
i sold my wildfire for 20K, and HD2 will cost me 27k, Desire and galaxy round about 30k. (my budget wont allow me to go higher)
Desire. Friend got one, and, its pretty amazing. Seems to literally get hot though.
(Although, after comparing his stock ROM, and mine with CM7 and ADW Launcher EX, he feels my phone is far smoother and faster than his. hint hint. )

Yeah I know someone who has a Desire and feels rooted/overclocked/CM7 wildfire is smoother
Samsung is officially going gingerbread on sgs ,I have an sgs but it's bricked apart from that I'd say go for the galaxy put a good jacket on it you'll never think of how it feels again + trust me you will thank yourself once it's "pimped",max it out you'll see.......

thank you all for the comments.
after reading the comments, i have decided to for HTC Desire.
3-4days ago, I saw that HTC announced Titan and Radar.. and both the cpu is msm8255. Moreover Radar is 1GHZ.... So I think we can port wp7 to our DHD... What do you think?

Sounds interesting. I hope someone can do this id love to give it a try.

Well, the problem isn't just the chipset. There are also other hardware parts that probably aren't the same as in these devices.
And that parts are the problem because wp7 is closed source so you can't really modify drivers, kernel,... Since android is open source, the drivers can be "easily" modified or replaced by others.
But if HTC uses the exact same hardware in these devices, there is a SMALL possibility that it will be portet someday. But imo it's unlikely that it will be ported.

It would be awesome indeed. But I doubt that someone will do it.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
In my opinion, if you want to use wp7 and don't want to spend very much, you can buy a used hd2 around 100€... I am playing with this idea now, because I use two phones and wp7 looks nice and works good, but my main phone is and will be my DHD with Android because android can do more, than I would wish on a phone. It's the most amazing operating system ever...
Sent from my HTC Desire HD-T2X using XDA Premium App
the question, why? I would have answered, just because of the good feeling that our phone can do that. I would never use W7 but I would like to try to look again and tell myself that the DHD with Android platform the best choice.
Well, if there are someone who will to create a new custom bootloader, den I think multi boot on multi os is possible

[sarcasm] Wow, surprised this hasn't been asked before[/sarcasm] If you want WP7 on your phone go buy a windoze phone, it's closed source and would be a helluva a lot of effort for people to go to and why bother?.
Anyway MODS any chance you can close this thread as you have the other 100+ asking this question?
I suppose that it will be nice to have dual boot, but IMO wp7 sucks. The effort in achieving this is just not worth it.
Have wp7 on my work phone and I must say that win 6.5.x on my topaz is much better. Yes the speed and UI are better but some general things (which are very annoying in daily use) need to be polished.
Many missed calls as the wp7 can be powered off while phone is locked. So every time you put it in your pocked you must be sure that power button is face down.
i just can't honestly think why any one would want wp7 as a daily OS, maybe for a play, but why, really why?

I for one would love to see WP7 dual boot with CM7 on my DHD. Even if it's just for a proof of concept. The new Mango update does give WP7 ability to run on DHD hardware. Maybe not e'thing would work but the chipset will be supported. So porting it to DHD shouldm't be that difficult.

Garbage suggestion
The Same question was in my mind and i was going to post topic about it right now
why there is no chance to get WP7 running at Desire HD ???
It was my first and one of the best phones ive used ever. Big thanks to all the devopers who have made my phone amazing such as mike1986, and lordclockan. And a much thanks to all the members of the forum for all their help for asking my questions. Rip desire hd you will always be remembered...

What kind of problems? I have both DHD and HOX(being my main phone).
DHD is one of the best phones I've carried.
But HOX is even better imo. I'm loving this phone as well as the amazing community for this phone here on XDA.

Why did you buy a HTC One V? It's nearly the same only worse camera, less RAM, but a bigger battery. Doesn't make sense to me. You should've saved that money for something better, like One S :-/
I guess you mean One X and not One S, right?

The backlight flicker has been resolved in recent updates.
Battery life is very decent imo. With the right ROM and Kernel you can get a very good battery life.
S-OFF hasn't been a disadvantage for the HOX community. We're able to flash custom ROMs and kernels very easily.
However, the only reasons I would agree with you on the HOX not being the best phone in the market today are:
- Not having a microSD slot
- and the battery being irreplaceable.
Bye
Have fun with the next one!!
Ok. The reason I got a One V is because all the other phones were 300$+ for it. The One V is 150$. And after using it, I've noticed that it is overall better than the Desire HD. Despite, having smaller screen, smaller camera, and less RAM, it just feels so much better than the Desire HD. Its alot smoother too.
Move on, but stay tuned.. This phone still rocks

You went for a downgrade!?
DHD has much better specs all around. DHD was a flagship phone by HTC. If you want to "upgrade" you should consider the current flagship, which is One X or wait for the upcoming one.
Anyway, I'm glad to hear you got your DHD back. You did the right thing.
Simple rule. Thought DHD has crossed warranty period so if I get half of the price I can get another HTC without adding anything. But we are foolish to think that way.

If I were you, I will wait for new WP8 phones from Nokia or Samsung before my DHD went off-duty. For now, this phone is still the best (at least for me)
