Things To Do While Waiting For Our HD's ?

While reading some of the other posts it seems ppl are so excited to get there phones and are upset about the suposed delays. So for those people who are wanted to do stuff with there HD without having it here are my sugestions :-
-- Making some cool theme ieas in the theme section
-- Dessuss the accesories that look good/bad in thee accessories sections
-- Looking for cool new apps (thats always fun)
-- Pass the time catting to fellow HD owners to be in irc (freenode #DesireHD)
-- Reading this thred you probably spent 10-15 seconds reading this you have now gotten 10-15 seconds closer to getting your phones (yay !)
I do Not recomend
-- Refeshing the Realese date threds every three seconds (which i seem to be doing)
:-D

-- Alternatively, Stop procrastinating on those assignments

-- Email all big tech blogs and beg for their Desire HD reviews!

Buy an iPhone 4

^Wow that is a good one! Nice idea
I think if we have developers around here, maybe rooting could be a good place to start? I mean, we do have the original rom to take apart.

Waiting for DHD
Well guys I am going to buy a desire 2nd hand and then see what the reviews say about the DHD and make a decision then.
After all how much can I lose £50???

I just purchased desire brand new £250.00 already sold to someone for the end of the month pickup.
Now where was I ow yes living

I just got pipped at the post on ebay. I dont mind paying £250 but its difficult finding one at the right price.

Try gumtree that's where I found mine. You could buy mine and I could get another!

The iPhone really sucks. You have to wait for a jailbreak (and that's going to take a while) and you can't tweak the iPhone. Just wait for the HD.

A bit extreme - personally, I will never use a "closed" device again. Android is the light in the Apple Dark.

Well guys I bought myself a second hand Desire this morning and the seller rang me up to confirrm despatch.
The great news is that I can get rid of my iPhone 3GS and have use of a "better" phone for me.
That means that I can be less anxious about the DHD release but will wait for the reviews etc and then decide whether to skip the DHD for the new dual core phones out post xmas and which should run Andriod 3.0
Keeping my pre order with Clove though and hedging my bets

Here is some good naughty stuff to get you started:
http://tinyurl.com/3x2ljt7

Got email from Mobilephonesdirect.com this morning.
We are
expecting to be able to fulfil your order in the next 15 working days which
means your Desire HD should be with you by the end of October.
I pre-ordered this back when delivery date was the 7th.
Looks like none are getting them before the end of this month, ow well at least we know now.

Drool!
Im gonna overclock my touch hd as much as possible... doesnt really matter if it breaks anymore!
Actually, I need to sell it... oops

just thought i'd let you guys know. if you do a youtube search of HTC Desire HD and sort by date to most recent, you'll get a ton of new videos from the last couple of days.

Goodbye X10 with thanks to all

I've just picked up a Samsung Galaxy S II so my beloved X10 is going to be my backup phone.
Just want to thank all the devs and others that have helped in making using it such a great experience.
Cheers all

Damn at least a month before it is released here. I will be joining you soon Yeah it is definitely a great choice.

Got a message today that a phone recycling company has agreed to pay me the full working price for my mobo afflicted X10. So I only lost £2 on the deal. My 26 days with the X10 showed me A) What a good phone the X10 could be with the right ROM (tried 2 Froyos and 1 Éclair all very good) and B) How crap SE are – I had both stock 2.1 and 1.6 on the X10 and both were sh*te, never mind the bloody hardware fault. I can confidently say that will (and have) continue to opt for Android it wont be a SE handset.
OP – Had a play with a SG SII last night, very nice and what a screen. I am jealous as my replacement for the X10 is a ZTE Blade lol. Still at least the blade can function in warm weather unlike that bloody X10.
So goodbye for now XDA, I will return with something different to the Blade in October when I upgrade.

I want the sgs2 so bad lol

He mad..
We don't it's to push your buttons.
I believe, XDA IS ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT AND DISCUSSION OF CELL PHONES.
not cell phone.

i am not mad,i am just pissed of
well,if this continues,then in 1-2 years the 99% of the threads will say "leaving x10.many thanks to developers",etc.
Imagine that in all mobile sections...
and also believe me,the 90% of users,dont give a damn if i broke my x10 or it got stolen.(except when developers say it)
If you think creating nosense threads is right,then there is nothing i can do

Take care mate,enjoy your SGSII ,i myself changed to a Motorola Defy which couldnt get better (Not 2xCore but works awesomely) ,it has a locked Kernel...but you dont need it unlocked lol,has a perfect functional Multitouch,16m colors,CM7 for it with Everything working(Including camera and such),and everything ^
Besides i get 2.5k at Quadrant with a Overclock @ 1.2ghz ^

Good luck with your SG II. I switched to the Moto Atrix about 3 weeks back.

This is good bye from The Gingerbread Man (temp)

Hello my friends here at XDA!!
It brings me great sadness to say you wont really really see much of me round here for a while. I originally planned to make this thread in about a weeks time when i leave for my holiday to Florida for 2 weeks but im going to post now as today i have sent my beloved X10 for repair due to accidental damage. My x10 is not due back till wednesday, the day before i leave for my holidays.
This leaves me phoneless, i do not own a laptop and tbh i rarely have the patentience to use my **** old pc which sounds like its about to take off with the fan spinning so loudly! I odnt know if any of you notice but 99.999999999% of my posts and pm come from my xda premium app or tapatalk for this very reason!
On the plus side when i get back from my holidays i will be up for an upgrade on my contact and be able to get a better newer phone. When i find something i really like and want i will be leaving you guys. I will pop in of course to 'visit' and when i can i shall post before my holidays. I have a full time job and girlfriend and fairly active social life so dont expect to see much of me is all im saying and when the time comes to move on permananltly il leave you all know.
So really this is just to say you wont see much of me round here for perhaps about 3 weeks give or take a few days.
Peace and out,
Steve
PS
Im open to suggestions for new phones to get and reasons why. Im staying with android and dont want a sgs2
Bye for now..............

Hey Steve,
Hope the effect of cider wears off your x10 soon!!
Enjoy your holidays man!!
As for the new phone... stay with us mate! jk

can you please mention the reason you dont like SGS2 i think is the best option for replacement phone

Wait for new nexus phone...that is what I would do.

Hi Bro,
It is strange not seeing you around today as i know you will be missing all the fun of the bootloader unlock. What a time hey to get your phone drunk, i bet you not do that again mate lol.
Well i hope you get a phone sorted quick and that you enjoy your hols, maybe when you get back you can sort out another cheap x10 so you can play around with the unlocked bootloader with us all but if you get upgraded maybe you will not want to bother as you will have something better, well hopefully.
chat when you can mate.

What to say i feel bad

I know exactly how you feel, my x10 got stolen and vodafone didn't have any x10
They gave me Neo instead and its a awesome phone and all but with the bootloader unlock now I'm gutted...
Have a good holiday mate

you lucked out huge.

it is tomorrow i leave for my holiday, 2 weeks time il be back and hopefully have a phone, mine still isnt back from repair, im leaveing for manchester airport at 5am uk time so looks like no phone to take on holiday. Im sad without it and iv missed loads since iv been gone only one week.

Just paid almost $700 for the Uk Unbranded GS2...

I must say i did not know that my version was light years thinner and lighter then all the us models untill i played with all 3 models anyways my question is what would you have picked? the real Uk Gs2 or branded GS2 now my uk version gets 4g but on Att only but im on tmobile and i keep my clear wireless on me at all times so im never on edge but witch model do you guys like? The exnoys Cpu is a beast and faster then the S3 i hear but again was my choice a good one i love how thin this device is and the fact its not tied to any network so the Ics update should come with no problems and theres tons of roms and development for the uk gs2

Lmao your pathetic. 700 dollars when you easily could've got one for >500. Ok and no offense but, how dumb could you be! Also the AT&T model is the same as the international model lmao (same thickness except it has 4 capacitive buttons). So you obviously didn't play with AT&T model and you got ripped off. Oh yea and its pathetic that you have to carry a hotspot with you at all times just to get 3G speeds.

My choice, I would have bought the cheapest, and not asked for opinions after buying it in the wrong part of the forums.

i9100 is $560-580 right now.

well also here in ontario i purchased a new device rather then those of "kijiji" or "ebay" b/c of some people bs'in about things and products and with tax of 13% i paid about $700 but with that i got a leather case + a protector and also from a wireless store and got their warranty + 1 more year on top total of 2 yrs. so yeah i looked @ my benefits but now whether it'd be galaxy galatica or note or sgs3 come out im 150% on my device + no contract either .. so till death this device is with me and i know yeah LTE and all this bullcrap but i don't need that sh** nor am i tempted to get htc raider or sgs 2 lte or w/e is out b/c all of them have same specs xcept maybe "screen" which is useless you might as well carry a tablet or a laptop ..and nfc which is no biggie b/c unless ur a doosh and lazy to carry a wallet then u might as well grow up and start carrying a wallet..lol no offence anyone plz don't start a bashing contest cause ill laugh and thats just that and as far as speed you can overclock sgs2 to 1.4 or 1.6 anyways with dual processor. now lets be nice and enjoy what we have and how we have it and so on..

Aperently samsung dose not want to update this phone anymore so what will happen to the vibrant
i believe our phones are in the hands of the developers to make roms like ics passon that will be the closest thing to the ics rom that we will get

Well considering my contract ends in october, im not worried about this phone anymore. Switching to verizon

my contract ended a long time ago we jest havent swiched providers

It's old yes, but it never really got any updates. It got 2.2 but I think it wasn't ever an OTA, it was a kies only update that bricked a lot of phones. Ive only used custom roms, but if I had kept this 500 dollar phone stock and never received any updates/fixes for it, I'd be pretty pissed. I don't know of any other phones that got the shaft THIS bad...I cannot believe samsung/tmo got away with this. It was a flagship phone, not some $199 retail phone they gave away........Hell all the other variants have OFFICIAL 2.3...nexus has the same specs and has official ICS....
