Since a lot of people think the DHD is going to get old and move to phones like the HOX, I just want to tell you that the new microSD cards with a capacity of 64Gbyte work on this great device! The HOX doesn't even have half of this capacity.
And...ICS is coming too! We still have some great devs here.
There is no need to buy a new phone.
If I haven't already bought the HOX, I would stay with my beloved DHD
Post 8 is card name and pic!
If this was helpful, please push THANKS.
Yea I'm too staying with my HTC Desire HD , but have you tried the 64gb card in your HTC Desire HD?

What brand SDcard did you use? Screenshot of the available storage?
Nice to know!
I'm going to stay with the DHD as well

No it can't support 64gigabyte
Why it should not?
Or do you refer to the SDXC cards?

Yeah but even in the wiki article it states, that DHD supports SDXC, so it shouldn't be a news?

Confirmed!! Works beautifully. Anyone who says otherwise is dead wrong.

IT DEFINITELY WORKS with 64gb.
Those saying it doesn't work didn't try it.
I'm using it right now ))
Does it have to be a specific 64 gb sd card or any will do?
I think any card is good...as far as is not a cheap clone and is an SDXC it will work (once formatted)
I too am happy to stick with my Desire HD. :good:
...or we could get another next gen phone THAT ALSO SUPPORTS MicroSD... ie SGS3... ^_~ ...not got one btw... but just stating an obvious logical answer besides sticking with our faithful DHDs
imho its a bad move for HTC to remove SDcard support... capacity for external storage for those type of media will only get bigger...
...opportunity to have 64GB (or more) on your smartphone just can't be easily dismissed. Especially if you carry around a ton of multimedia files as well as a chunk of your work and have a ton of pictures and a good part of your music collection! >_< lol!
ie my 1 and a half hour work commutes would be almost unbearable without my DHD with its 32GB card chock full of goodies to keep me from going insane in crappy uk public transport... @[email protected]
Yeah.
Personally, as far as function is concerned, there is little logical use in changing phones for me. I do in fact have a few more months before my contract expires and I'd like to eventually choose a very new phone that I can also support on my site without being a few months behind everyone else.
Having said that, unless another model has superior battery power consumption/time then I don't have a need for a different device. Like you, I commute throughout the day and therefore need the power to last me through the day, so I tend to limit YouTube, GPS or other things which happily eat away at the battery.
The idea of having loads stored on my device on a large SD Card is fine, but based on the above, I wouldn't use much of it.
The idea of losing the phone with so many eggs in one basket is not very appealing.
The idea of a bigger screen though like the Galaxy Note (which my barber has and showed me) is nice. I'd also consider future devices with removable rear covers, so that it's easy for companies like Mugen to make extended batteries for them. From experience that's real peace of mind.
The Microsoft Surface Tablet looks like a nice device which I could use for work maybe. If that became a primary toy, then maybe a phone would take a less important back seat for a while.

DHD + latest Lord's ICS build (8.2 as I type this) with radio 26.13.04.19 has a great battery life even with all the hammering it takes from using DicePlayer, PowerAmp, exchange Email, Dolphin, XDA Premium and even games like temple run & zenonia 4...
With the above usage... I get the trip to work, actual work usage (i have my desk phone on divert to my mobile) and the trip home... all in one nights charge... so I only need to put it on charge before I go to bed.
Hell, I've even forgot to charge it overnight and I was still able to crawl through most of the day... with charging it late afternoon, ready for the 2nd half of the movie I was watching on my trip to work! >_< hahaha!

I hear you there dude... I had my 1st DHD nicked through a burglary... =(
However, all I ever lost was my 1st 32GB class10 MicroSD as well as my nandroids...
All my files, movies, music and photos exists on multiple devices... so anything that was on my DHD is a copy from my other machines...
...pity I didn't do the same with my Nandroid... I keep them locally for the purpose of error recovery... would've kept copies of it off the device had I wanted to be safeguarded from potential theft... =_=
As it's looking now.. unless HTC starts building new units with SD support, I'll not be jumping on their new range quite just yet...
If November 2012 hits and they've not released a device that fits the bill for me... its looking a lot like I'll be going for SGS3... =_=

I'm personally not too concerned since 16GB seems like more than enough, but I'm sure people will be asking if it can be upgraded or not. We really won't know till someone tears into it which is more likely since it was released today.
*UPDATE*
I just came across this: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4015/htc-surround-review-pocket-boombox/8
It doesn't seem that difficult to get to actually, just a bit of disassembly required. It apparently comes with a SanDisk Class 4 16GB microSD card.
AT&T kills another great device! They also did it to the Tilt2 when they removed the 3.5 mm jack from that device. Somebody needs to fire an executive in that company.
T-Mobile did the same thing with the HTC HD7 but someone managed to swap cards and the HD7 worked with a 32GB microSD.

Actually, It's not AT&T's fault. It's just that WP7 doesn't support swapping out memory yet, like say an Android phone.
Bought my surround today. ATT said there would be a patch comming out and not to insert a sd card yet....

Yeah, we know you can't swap memory yet but the devices in Europe allows you to upgrade memory capacity before the 1st boot. AT&T choose to remove that option on the Surround not the Focus. AT&T's fault...
Just picked up my phone. Very solid device.
I got my surround yesterday, and so far, I am pleased.
Has anyone actually looked under that piece yet? A teardown of the Mozart revealed a similar metal piece that was not hiding a microSD card.

Good find. I'm still waiting for mine, so someone else will have to dig into it.
Anybody care to break down their Surround?
Got my Surround 2 days ago
Nice phone, well built, the OS is slick with a lot of promise. Active tiles are slick, the Zune software on the phone & PC works great. In 2 days I managed to get back my BBC stream, got some video news, GPS is great, loaded some of my movies, set up my email, my contacts we transferred from my old sym at the AT&T store and I had no problems transferring them to the phone, and there are 100s of free apps already out and more coming every day. Pretty soon all of the developers will port over their apps and all will be fine again. Many apps use the GPS to find your area and cater what they deliver according to where you live. I paid $200 for it. I MAY have preferred to have the HD7, not sure since I haven't seen it and held it yet, but the Surround is really fine and if I decide to change or upgrade later on I wont lose anything. While we all get used to old habits and the way things work I thing this OS is an improvement and half the fun is setting up our toys the way we want them. Flash will be added to IE soon, upgrades will come from MS, we will be able to access the file system, more customizations will become available. The screen is twice the size of my Dash 3G. I am hoping an IRC client will be ported over soon since that is what I miss the most.

I completley agree with everything you said. The only thing that kills me is the battery life. It is down right terrible. I dont fiddle too much with my phone as im usually too busy to do so, but when i do want to use it, seems like the battery is just not up to the task.
Tips & tricks
Have a look in the Windows 7 general discussion..there's a tips and tricks thread at the top that give you ways to lengthen battery life. There are quite a few things to do like time out the screen sooner, turn off geocaching, etc. It should help. So far I haven't seen any spare batteries for sale on Ebay but they will come. This is a GREAT phone.
Updated the first post.
I would, but:
1) Haven't bought it yet and
2) I'd probably end up breaking it.
I was going to buy a 32gb class 4 card (Kingston), but $100 is half the price of the phone and I couldn't justify it. I also loaded a decent amount of stuff on it and have 9.7gb left. I think I can hold off for a while till prices drop.
If you look at the teardown article further you will see that under the metal cover is a metal pad with foam and under that is a 16gb micro sd card. Not sure its worth it as someone pointed out it will cost a bit for a 32gb micro sd card and you will void any warranty. As for the post that said WP7 does not support changing cards out I thought one of the 3 phones with WP7 that AT&T sells had a removable sd card and onboard as well. That would make more sence that the drive with the ROM needs to static but if you have that the os should support a removable card its just that the surround does not have build in memory so the micro sd cannot be removed.
The Samsung Focus has an accessible microSD slot. I believe it also has 8gb internally.
I have just received mine thought I'd share some pictures and can take some more that people ask for, in exchange for a thanks click. In the mean time please look at my pictures below.

Technically got it last night, but it was in the hotel and I was at the launch party been setting it up on the train home. Feels so much more responsive than my x10!
Launch party was a blast, didn't get in till 3am, met a few people, liked the decorations!

Damn i wish i had mine in already. I wasnt able to pre-order as i have to pay 100euro when i extend with my current provider. I hate being broke.
Got mine at lunch time
just got mine a few hours ago.... my first android phone, i've always been a windows man. So this is quite alot to take in.... my first impression is that android is ****... but everyone has told me that it will grow on me.
I'm a windows man to, tried linux, tried mac, stayed on windows for pc. Always preferred WM6.5 over iOS and blackberry OS (also over palm for pda).
But I am giving android a shot with this one, really need the games and I don't think I'd like windows phone 7. The reason I preferred WM6.5 was it opennes and at the time all the avaible apps you could downlaod everywhere and easely install.
I hope a rooted android will give me the same. But I'm sure the emu's will make up for it plenty if it doesn't
And to stay on topic, I'm getting mine monday!
could one of you guys do me a huge favor and post your build.prop file from /system?? I am developing for this phone and would really appreciate someone doing this for me thanks.
Three promised me it would come on Tuesday, in spite of the delay. Will be my first android phone, so not sure what to expect. I'll be praying to the postman gods it comes though!
No pics, but got mine today from CPW on T-Mobile, and should enjoy it when I prise it out of my kids' hands!!
Mine is sitting in my local ups depot but they sent it express saver so no delivery till Monday. I ordered it as an offline/ wifi only device as I'm very happy with my phone and service. But this is the only decent android powered gaming handheld.
We will not speak of odroid

I am a Windows Phone 7 fan girl...NOT windows mobile.
I love my hd7 and i love xbox live integration
However i will be getting this phone when it comes to the US on Verizon.
Android by itself is rather...dull to me and just feels half baked(great hardware but the software just seems one step behind)
and I have owned plenty of android phones.
Currently own a mytouch 4g and HD7(my main phone) and I am hoping the xperia play will make me fall in love with android all over again
I do recommend that if you guys dont enjoy your plays to either trade or return and try a windows phone 7 device.
GREAT DEVICE and I am so jealous of those of you who already had it.
LOL i can't wait to move to Europe lol
whats so great about wp7?

Nice find! Here's some other footage I found on it.
I've had my eye on these for a couple of weeks now. I have an iPhone 4, and I must say, for gaming it sucks. I also had a Novo 7 Elf and that was OKAY. But these JXD gamepads are really awesome looking. So I've decided I'm going to get myself one. Payday is in about 3 days, not including shipping time...
For as many threads of these JXD devices as we see, it's a shame there aren't as many reviews out there. They look really interesting, but I just don't know if I'd trust the manufacturing quality.

I'm really interested in this. I'm just waiting til I top up my debit card again.
One question though: Most articles I've read say it's available for pre-order at $150 but all said articles point to WillGo which prices the device at $160+ excluding SD card. Why is that? $10+ dollars is something big.

$150 was the special pre-order price. You can still find it for $150 at other stores, but if you can afford it I'd go with the Willgoo link because they're quick to ship and offer very good after sales support.
got to get one of these, for that price anyway, shame there is no white in stock !
I received mine a couple of days ago. My honest impression of it so far is that it's an incredible piece of hardware trapped by ridiculously poor firmware coding. This thing has so much potential, but the mistakes that JXD made with the code are mind boggling. For example, the left analog and d-pad are distinct pieces of hardware, but they cannot be mapped independent of one another, and the right analog is mapped through the touch screen. And it appears that the display might be locked at 50Hz.
It would seriously benefit from the aid of some of xda CFW gurus, but the problem with that is, so far, JXD won't release the source code. A pair of users have actually made a good bit of progress improving things, tremendously so given that they're no experts and they don't have any source code to work with, over at http://boards.dingoonity.org/android-devices/jxd-s7300-fixes-firmware-roms-thread/ but it still needs more help. I would encourage anyone with the skills, time, and inclination to head over there and try to lend a hand. If people are successful in correcting JXD's mistakes, this tablet could actually be worth the price.
There is a recent review in Euro Gamer,

I'm definitely thinking about getting one of these..... but I have too many gadgets... ARG...

So, how's it been working for you? Just saw this last night and have been googling around for more info. I have a Nook Color right now that I use for reading, how well does this do on non-game related apps? I want to get something I can play games on and emulate with but I also don't want to have to carry two devices around all time so I'm hoping to be able to use this as my eBook reader, Web browser and media player too...
Also have you (or anyone else) tried using a microSD card larger than the listed 16GB?what were your results?

I received mine yesterday. The build quality is very pleasing for the price (£98 for me) although some have mentioned problems with soldering etc internally.
There are problems with the analog sticks but they look to be resolvable. On the Dingoonity boards a couple of developers have released a very good rom that fixes a lot of the typical problems with cheap chinese tablets such as bloatware, slowdown etc.
The main problem seems to be the screen running in 50hz mode which causes stuttering in some emulators. I have played using FPSE, Mupen64, Dead Trigger, NOVA3 and they all run really well, even though the mali drivers are apparently rather out of date.
I use a 32GB SD Card and all seems fine. It's just formatted to FAT.
I have high hopes for this having owned and been thoroughly disappointed with an Archos Gamepad.
I'm interested in buying one of these they have a lot of potential. But the tablet seems too pricey for me. Have any of you guys seen the JXD S3500 or Yinlips YGP13?

To be honest it looks rather interesting, especially at that price. But after my parents once bought a chinese "iphone-like" tablet with some ancient software on it and i tried to update it, i am rather sceptikal about android products from china.
Still more interested into than a wiiu though.
Hey guys, my i9500's internal storage is just 9gb. Normally, for 16gb phone, it must be around 11gb. So, where is 2gb lost ? Thanks

Even worse thats what you have left for apps and games, as by default these cannot be saved to the memory card. This phone should never have been released in 16gb with so little memory. 32gb should be the minimum.
Why can they not be stored on external card?

Yeah it sucks and they haven't released the 32gb version yet

still wondering why this is a surprise to people. this is getting ridiculous.
I'm probably not even going to get it because of this stupid decision to only have a 16GB version. I don't know what the hell I'm going to do now, my X2 is all but useless and I need to buy a phone off contract to keep my unlimited data. I'm not spending $500+ on a phone from months and months ago, so I guess I have to wait until the next "big" thing comes out. Joy.
At first I was just mad that Verizon was taking a month longer than everyone else, but as usual, things can always be (and in this case, are) worse.
My international unlocked 9500 showed 9 available on the phone but when looking at in on the pc the number was actually in the upper 8s, don't recall what it was exactly. After I used Ti to install the 91 user apps I had backed up 2.4 gigs of that was consumed with 6.6 remaining. Since I always send my photos out to SD and this is my entire collection of apps I obviously have enough room as I use the phone. I cant speak for anyone else but it seems to me that most people with the exception of gamers who have a number of large games they want to keep on the phone at all times will be ok since I would be able to install somewhere toward 200 more typical apps without running out of space.
This is not to say I don't agree with the fact that 16 gigs is now becoming just enough and will not meet some users needs. If the storage were not expandable I would not be able to carry the payload of data I carry. This of course would be true even if it were 32 gigs because I now use my phone as my mp3 player as well and I have my entire library on it. I actually prefer having this out on removeable storage anyways though because I hung up my ipod years ago and just move my music on the card from phone to phone along with the pictures and some other data that I carry with me for work.
And no, my phone did not pick up LTE when I was down in Seattle, I do not have it in my area though and it is not even on AT&Ts roadmap yet, if I did I would have likely went with the snapdragon.

If you have the Octa version, several reviews of that version state the LTE function is on the chip, but disabled.
Yeah I read such myself and yet no one has confirmed it which at this point is surprising because there are now many out there and even if it should be so there is no surety that it will ever be working thanks to the smart gents here. Best IMO to leave the gate with the horse that has LTE aboard if you are in an LTE area and want to make use of it. This one for now doesn't have it and a rumor that may or may not be true isn't something I would hang my hat on.

UNDER 9GBs AVAILABLE on the S4
SAMSUNG'S TAKE ON LOW MEMORY IS B.S.
Samsung can go on the DEFENSIVE all they want and this DOES NOT SOLVE the problem; A 16gb phone with under 8gb available to the consumer.
Its not an excuse stating that a lot of the memory is taking up by all the bells and whistles which a lot of us will not use. What happens in the future when Samsung upgrades their software more space will be taken up. A lot of people suggest using a micro SD card. THIS IS ONLY GOOD FOR MEDIA FILES AND DOCUMENTS. NOT GAMES.
As a consumer we are paying for 16 GBs and getting roughly half.
I was a Samsung Customer and owned the S1/2/3 but I WILL NOT CONSIDER THE S4 or the NOTE 3 until Samsung comes out with 32GBs.
Until we all stand up and tell Samsung how we feel they will keep on pulling this crap on us.
Thanks

Finally.
Samsung S4 will be featuring on BBC Watchdog over its memory claims. Details http://gavinsgadgets.wordpress.com/2...he-samsung-s4/
samsung has f*ck with this problem. it's too bad for them. they lost me as 1 customer out of 400+million customer cause of this storage.
my galaxy s 4 is the last galaxy after s2, note, s3, note 2 now s4 ( should be my last one )
please use foldermount for some big games. work great.
All they had to do was be more transparent. Also be honest about the apps and caches having to be installed to internal memory. Not everyone wants to root, and I cant because of certain apps that wont work if rooted.
I too have had the Note, S3, Note 2 and 4 other Samsung phones. This is the first time I am left a little disappointed.
Where is all my storage!?!?!
Hey guys,
So my phone says "Storage Space Running Out" but I just check and I am not using anymore than 3GB of the 8.9GB available. I took a screen shot and attached it here. Can someone help?

well now we know its coming
Yay...it looks great. now questions. what countries are getting it? why no prices?
no micro-sd, a leak got my hopes up. Otherwise looks really nice.
I really didn't expect this to be Nexus 7 pricing, if this is around $400USD I am getting it for sure!

My last HTC device was the Nexus One and I loved it. I think I will love this one as well, just waiting for official word on SD Card. Damn internet rumors got me excited.

DAMMIT! No word about expandable memory.
I was sick of the 16GB of my Nexus 10 when I got it, and I still can't get over the fact that they've deiliberatly crippled a device which you, pretty much, only use for media consumption. Yeah, sure, Murica has pretty kewl streaming services, but the majority of the rest of the world still does not. Even if I'd pay for netflix, I can only watch it from inside the US! Ergo, travelling, especially by plane, makes it near impossible to stay entertained!
I can use about 8GB for movies. Wait, a movie is easily over 12GB (1080p).
So now, everywhere I go, I have to use this corsair usb stick, just because somebody didn't think this through - again.
Yeah, I know, micro sd cards have their problems with Android, and how the system has to set up a server to transfer media files onto it while still being able to read the storage, but DAMMIT GOOGLE! DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Leaving it out is not a proper solution for a problem!
"Oh, these seats are really hard to implement in the car, so you are a) safe and sound in accidents and b) get in and out of them without any problems. Let's leave them out - who needs them anyways. Plenty of nice office chairs around! With a bit of rope and a nice knot.. and it's not like they don't have wheels on them!.. yeah.. who needs seats in a car!"
Seriously Google. Do something.
This sounds more "ranty" than I would like, but dammit! They ruin it every time.
I was really looking forward to this device, since the Nvidia Shield Tablet was such an extreme failure. Looks like I'll have to keep looking for an 8" - 8.9" tablet with a decent display, decent CPU and expandable memory that is not complete garbage. (à la ipad - or one of those ipad knockoffs.)
Cheers. Literally.
You looked at Samsung tablets? I'm how you feel about SD card maybe they were thinking that built in memory would get cheaper faster.
