Still worth buying this??

Hi all,
After being away for a while and currently not having a htc device i have the oportunity to buy a blackstone used. It looks nice, good preservation, no scratches on the screen, all acessories included. My question is it still worth it???
I have seen some new models of htc but they are a bit expensive here. This one goes for 250€ but i'm afraid it's a bit "old". Please if you can give me your opinion about this issue.

Yes it is worth it. It still runs all the latest OS etc. I'm glad I bought mine a few months ago. The HD is a good all round performer, and like you say the other devices around that are better/newer are a lot more expensive. When you can get most the features of the HD2 on the HD for half the price, why not buy the HD. That's the way I see it anyways. The price you stated does sound a bit much though, I'm sure you could get it much cheaper on ebay, but this could just be down to the crappy exchange rate here against the Euro.

Thanks for your reply. Since e-bay is out of the question because many of them don't ship out of their country and i also don't have a pay-pal account it doesn't leave much choise. I have seen the site and i know it's a lot cheaper but still not an option for me. I see that according to users the HD can (almost) do the same as the HD2 and i think i will go for it. Would like to have other opinions though.......

I purchased my blackstone last week after trading in my hero. The hero was a nice handset, i just didn't think android "was all that". I don't think the functionality of android is great, even 2.1. However i am running a the lastest blackstone henge rom on my device and i think its great.
The internal specification of the blackstone is the same as the hero if i'm correct and the hero is a relatively new device in comparison. Don't get eaten up by the snapdragon ghz band wagon, the touch hd still holds its own and imo is a great alrounder.
What requirements do you have for a handset when you look at buying one?

The HD is pretty good still, but a bit slow, and always was, for that sort of money I'd be inclined to buy a new acer S200 now and get the fastest Wm device available, very similar to the HD and are apparently very easy to flash other roms on to if the acer one is buggy.
Despite my disappointing experience with an F900, I would still be prepared to give them another try, I've had bad experiences with HTC and HP branded HTC's also.

Yes, HD is still front runner, specially if you find cooked ROM which has what you like.
And there's plenty of cooked ROMs, and more than half of them are still developing...
Price of 250 € is nice one, if device is really good preserved.

I can't comment on the price but I just bought one (t8285) on Ebay for 450 US precisely for the reason that a) I've never had one and didn't like the bulk of the Rhodium and b) there's an EnergyRom for it
The Telstra versions are rare in the US but work on the 850 range which is ATT's 3g band. I wanted to see if I could live without a keyboard and didn't want to pony up the big bucks to get an HD2 for Telstra until I signed off on the soft keyboard.
If you can afford it and find one you like I don't think you can go wrong. It's not the latest and greatest but it is a strong contender.

i agree with this !! this is my second hd i was planning to move over to the hd2 but i was way to big for what needed so i go one with the hd2 engery rom... as its just Ace...

The only bad part of it is Microsoft abandoning WM
Yes, I've seen some used ones in Ebay for $200 - $250. The Touch HD has everything (big screen, WiFi, GPS, FM radio, G-sensor, 5 mpix camera). It's a lot of hardware for that price.
Of course it runs Windows Mobile, which is dying right now. Sooner or later you'll have to move to Windows Phone 7 (vade retro) / iPhone / Android.
Any app you use (or God forbid, purchase) for Windows Mobile will not be transferable to any other phone in the future. Ask the developers if they will port the app and to what platforms.
You have a very good WM 6.1 ROM from KWBR, and a lot of WM 6.5 ROMs. I've used a few of them and am currently running a WM 6.5 with Manilla 2.5 and Opera 10.

Why dont get the mini HD?? it's about that price too?? got similar specs, in fact improved, and I think capacitive screen too?

Hello, should i buy a new phone?

Hello guys, i got an HTC HD2 LEO EU with 8gb sd card
My question if is the hd2 still worth it, or are there any other good mobiles for a good price?
The main problem from the HD2 is the screen, it uses too much battery, its empty fast for me.
Im running Dorimanx ROM, with airplanemode standby is 2mA which is very good

If you really want another phone then I'd honestly say hold out and wait for the Next Nexus phone to be released. The Hd2 is a very nice device with a lot of devs and roms to back it up. I honestly recently traded my myTouch 4g for this phone. This is a nice phone in my opinion. Its almost as if nothing can stop it.

Honestly, you should wait it out until really powerful phones that make it worth uprgading, are launched. Like the new nexus phone and the HTC Vigor, rumored to have a 1.5ghz dual core cpu. For now, the HD2 is still very much alive here and theres more to come(im particularly waiting for 576mb ram for android). The only thing that this beast cant do is play the new games only designed for dual core cpus. What i would do if i were you is keep the HD2(and take good care of it or course) as its such a good and fast Android phone. My friends recently bought the Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Jet and the LG Optimus Black. My phone beat all of them in internet browsing, flash loading and pretty much everything! It got beaten by the iPhone4, but only by a second or so. Once it came to flash content, the iphone was left for dead. So, moral of the story:keep your HD2.If you really want the cool games on your device,get an ipod touch/ipad.

[Q] HTC done with the HD2?

A couple of days ago HTC removed the entire HD2 section from their Norwegian website. I am linking to some of their support articles on my website and got a message about broken links. I went to htc.com/no (norwegian site) to investigate, and ALL info about the HD2 is GONE. NO support, downloads, accessory shop, nothing.
Does this mean that the HD2 is now officially abandoned by HTC?

the question is, do we need their support? i mean we got dev's who have been far greater at supporting the hd2 then htc ever was. n as for accessories, there are more then many 3rd parties providing that! so cheer up, n enjoy the glorious life of the great hd2~

Gone from the UK site as well so it seems we are (still) on our own

We are only now

But Hd2 isn't done with Htc

US Version Still Available
I went to www.htc.com, and typed in HD2 in the search box. I got a link that took me to the HD2 pages. I could even search for T-Mobile stores in my area. Whether they still have any HD2 phones for sale is another matter. I doubt HTC is manufacturing any more HD2s. Once stock is gone, that will be it except for the secondary market for used HD2s.

Help pages still exist for the UK section of the site http://www.htc.com/uk/help/htc-hd2/index.page?
Haven't seen anything about ROM updates though, which I swear there used to be

Same for me, I went there to find a rom upgrade or something. But search couldnt find anything.

hd2 is still the king of the smartphone, even it is two years old

good job old man (hd2)

I think this mean there no more update for HD2,
but there anyone care about WM6.5 's update ?

In my opinion - just a few people, but not me

Anyone looking to buy one?

HTC was done with HD2 a year ago.
HD2 is my first contact with HTC and I personaly feel betrayed by them.
As far as HTC is concerned HD2 has been terrible experience. About 3-4 months after I bought HD2 last update came from htc and so before half of my warranty time expired HD2 was considered absolete by both MS and HTC. If I had to use WinMo all this time I would replace this phone long time ago.
Few days ago I sent HD2 to authorized service to replace HW buttons and they wanted to replace keyboard flat cable, PBA (not sure what it is...my guess was the board) and something that holds screen. Price for repair was 290 euros!!!
I just paid them for diagnostics and left by mentaly gaving them the finger.
When I asked them why they need to replace entire phone just because flat cable is broken, their response is that htc policy is that they have to return the phone to me in factory condition....also they noted that I am using unauthorized OS
My next contract is open in may....and from this point I dont think it is going to be a htc phone....but I will see then.
Devs on XDA are the one that made it great. And I consider them as only support HD2 had for my time of using this phone.
I had (and still having) so much fun using Android on it. I am forever greatfull to any dev and users who contributed to changing my experience from high-powered phone with crappy and absolutete OS to a great android experience.
I think that the better question we should ask and fear is "When the developers are going to be done with HD2".....

Agree 100%
NAND android still seems very popular, and WP7.5 is too.
Hopefully DFT will bring out magldr 1.14 soon, possibly enabling better linux support.
Which may re-kindle interest in porting linux flavours to HD2.
There are still a lot of HD2s out there combined with the fact that there does not seem to be a nailed-on mod-able replacement around (for me ATM), indicates that HD2 development should continue for a while yet.

I sincerely hope you are right.
I am little sceptic if we will ever see another magldr update and personaly I would prefer rmnet support for cLK more.
Development on HD2 has a lot of space for improving, but most of it is probably wont be finished because of HD2 not being native android device and has radio that is designed to work with windows environment and it is hard to make it work as good as it could get.
I installed CM7 on a friends Galaxy Ace yesterday, which is lower device then HD2 but in many areas work a lot better, like smooth touch, real dual touch, camcorder that records in more than 15-20 fps......
If only htc would help us by providing another radio everything would change for HD2 I guess. But that aint happening.

Last chance have lots of inquiries!

Of course they'd fine you the price of repairs, you have voided the warranty.
You should have removed HSPL from your device and put back the original, it isn't HTC's fault .

Insurance can't replace HD2 so offered cash value - get another HD2?

My HD2 decided to go faulty so I claimed on the insurance I have with my bank account. After some faffing around with them not repairing it twice they have offered the cash equivalent of a HTC Trophy from Amazon.co.uk as the HD2 is no longer available new. They offered a HTC Legend but I said this was too low a spec when compared to the HD2.
I could get another HD2 off eBay and their cash settlement easily covers the cost. I am wondering whether this is a good move though as Windows Mobile 6.5 development seems to have ground to a halt. I cooked my own WM 6.5 ROM(s) but have suffered with the Phone Canvas issues, VoIP & earpiece issues, Bluetooth issues plus some other issues that I never really found fixes for.
I had Androind running off the SD card on the HD2 but it was never perfect, although this could have been down to the versions I was playing around with. Development for Android seems to be continuing (and gathering pace). I also installed Windows Phone 7 at one point but quickly removed it was just too restrictive (this was a while ago however so things may have changed?).
I could go full-on Android and get a HTC Desire HD for slightly more than a HD2 and again the insurance money easily covers this. I think all the features and software I had with the HD2 I can get (equivalents of?) with the DHD. Plus the DHD has the same physical dimensions as the HD2 so it should fit the HD2 car cradle?
The key uses of my HD2 were:
A phone - calls, contacts, SMS/MMS
Email - Exchange ActiveSync - plus hotmail with Windows Live and POP3/SMTP with my personal email.
SatNav - I use TomTom Navigator
Internet access
VoIP - I use SIP to get cheap calls when outside the UK.
I think everything except TomTom I can replace with Android equivalents.
Any advice?
Andy

Really I am always very surprised when I hear about HD2 with WM 6.5. Already using Android on NAND (MIUI) for 2 years and have never thought of returning to WM.
Dont know what to suggest. If I had the same, I probably took HD2 again. However in my country HD2 is a bit more expensive than Desire HD. Around 540 USD. Don't know about Amazon. Any possibility for you to add some extra money to the claimed one and buy Desire HD?

Hi and thanks for replying. The insurance money will more than cover buying either a HD2 or a Desire HD so the cost isn't the problem. I was just after some opinions/advice on whether to get another HD2 or something else based on my usage (satnav, email etc).
Andy

Desire Hd is a really good phone but if you like changing rom or OS hd2 is better
sent from my HD2 using XDA App

replace ?
i had the screen go on my HD2 and just replaced the phone will get another screen and have 2 at some point ,I dont realy see another phone/ operating system around that is that much better than the Leo at the moment.I have ran Andriod and 7 but as nice as they are i just like my cookies home and all my apps. I would suggest getting a 2nd hand HD2 and keeping the change to maybee buy another phone in about a year as prices drop a lot (however not realy that fast on the Leo)
Regards Mark

To be honest, I don't see anything at the moment that is coming close to HD2 due to the versatility of the OS and options available. Sure, there are higher spec phones on the market, perhaps with better screens and dual core CPU, but it's not about the specs, is it? I have my T-Mobile HD2 and it gave me the opportunity to have the best of both worlds - Mango and Android running without any trouble. I was torn between WP7 and Android for some time, until Mango came along (thanks, Yuki and XBmod, among many others - you, guys, are the best) and the choice of dual booting was made. The biggest problem I am facing every day is what OS to start the day with, haha. A friend of mine has purchased Samsung Galaxy SII last weekend after giving up on Iphone and following my Android recommendations, but now he envies my HD2 running Android and WP7.5 because he likes it a lot too, HTC Hub made him cry with envy . So there he was, saying 'But it's a thousand dollar phone, why can't I have both too???'. He likes his phone very much and it is an impressive piece of electronics, but it's not HD2...
A few years ago and after many, many HTC smartphones, I got JasJar (HTC Universal) and reached a point where nothing that came on the market afterwards could lure me away. I still have it, but the only phone that could take its place in my heart is HD2.
So if you can't be bothered reading all of the above, what I am trying to say is yep, another HD2 would be something I would go for in your position. Best of luck.

Or... you might want to part with the broken screen one, as in sell it to me, because I am looking for a mainboard to have another Leo repaired and used for development. Just a suggestion.

[Q] Thinking on buying a HTC HD2

Hey guys, since the HD2 is like the most developed phone ever, I'm thinking on buying it. Do you think is worth the the hardware? Are there any usual problems? is it easy to install ROMs on the device ( I really didn't install any ROM on any device, but I'll probably do it on a kaiser later) ?
Thanks for the help,

P.S. I have the original Touch HD, but it really sucks, and this device can take pretty much everything

depends on what u need for spec ,but if you want a phone that stops starts and goes lol the, it will be ok its easy to put a rom on it long as you read and understand the guides out there for a old phone its stil got a lot of fans ,

Probly cause it has the specs of a MT4G 4.3" screen eryone loves a big screen. good camera and more development than the space industry and can run meego < even though its not used much > ubuntu windows 98 , android all the way up to 4.0.4 ICS win phone 7 win 6.5 I mean this phone does it all!! You can find these on craigslist for 125-150 nowadays and you get alot of device for the money !!

On eBay you can get mint condition (almost new) hd2s (phone only) for around 190 usd (buy it now price). More used ones (Inc. Accessories) and carrier locked for less, down to around 110 usd, which is usu the max prices of broken ones. It's a good price considering the repair fees total around that much and you are buying the only phone that can dual boot wp7 and android.

Hey guys, I know this thread is a bit old, but like this I don't do a new one.
So, it was me who started this thread and I'm still thinking on buying one of these, but I got questions about the screen:
-I still didn't understand if the screen is resistive or capacitive...
-Does the screen use pressure like in a resistive one, or does it work like a capacitive screen?
-Does it have a good definition?
And one more question, not about the screen:
-should I buy the T-mobile version just because of the specs? I see it has a lot of problems, and if it does, I would buy the international version with no doubt!
Thanks in advance,
mfsr98

T-Mobile has no more problems from a hardware perspective over the international version.
Main issue with T-Mobile (TMOUS) is idiots flashing a .51 radio & can't really blame the phone for that ...
Digi is capacitive ... Buying with care & at reasonable low cost still makes it a worth while buy, buy badly & you will have a nice desk paper-weight. Many for sale are badly repaired or have mainboard/nand/digi issues ...

Images are sharp, colours are poor and performs terribly in direct sunlight

Buy either, the TMOUS basically has more internal storage and is slightly taller than the EU one.

Answered in red. Also in response to one of your much older questions, the screen only supports 2 points, and it isn't particularly good at doing even that.

I have this phone for while, and i had only one problem. One day, screen just doesn't responded to my touches. So, i had to change sensor. But still its best smartphone that I had

Got mine from company I work for ...
in terms of screen colours I think they are quite good, Samsungs look awful to me though so each to his/her own.
direct sunlight visibility is poor but so are most.
Good phone but if intending to use Android only plenty of better hardware & stronger hardware devices available for a little more cost ...

Thank you everybody for the answers. Being capacitive does it mean it's not pressure activated, just like, for example, you touch it with less force possible and it selects ? (like the sll)

yes, thats what capacitive means, , not pressure. The screen is glass, you'd put your finger through it if you tried a pressure press. (well you wouldnt, cos its pretty tough, but u get the idea)
