@JesseBochekTV its actually a newer version of htc hd2 or a slightly different version of the htc evo in the us. I don't really know why they called this one the desire hd because actually the desire z is like the newer version of the desire
@wafcarl I can see your point about the unlocking, but currently I use a HTC Hero, which has the power button on the front, the problem with that is it has a tendency to pocket dial
Getting the HTC Thunderbolt 4G since im in the US. Love this phone. Just watched it cause our phones are similar. Except we have a front facing cam, more ram, 8gb internal memory, kick stand, extra speaker behind the kick stand and 4G. If I was not in the USA, would definitely get the DESIRE HD!!!!!!
@Zoom1818 Hi again i've just checked T-Mobile.com and they seem to be selling the HTC HD2 already... where as in the UK it's not out till later this month
@wafcarl Not really. The higher end processor and gpu makes it much more efficient. Also, android is power-hungry??? The os itself is very efficient. And there are a few tricks such as completely charging and draining battery twice. And the few ovious ones such as disabling gps and wifi so they are only on when you are using them, lowering brightness to around 40%. That should help a lot if you are having problems. My vibrant lasted me 7 hours, but now it goes through the whole day.
It's BIG, but if you want to watch HD movies in dolby surround on your phone, than it's better to have a bigger screen. Question is how often you watch movies on a phone (I don't travel much, or fly with planes)...
@MrZaintZ By today's standards this is actually quite small, It depends on what you're prepared to carry round with you. The Dell Streak and the Samsung Galaxy Tab are way bigger that this.
@SuperNoypii This phone's sibling, the HTC Desire Z (otherwise known as T-Mobile G2) is pretty much the same thing but with a flip-out keyboard. Engadget gave it a very positive review today.
I am thinking of getting this phone, but I am confused about which to buy HTC 7Mozart or the HTC Desire HD??? If anyone has bought this phone, how is the screen sensitivity?? Thank you.
@wafcarl out of all that you respond to it's the ringer volume.. never mind the better quality camera or video recording, or the fact that your beloved iphone is jailbroken et nauseum because people cant stand the limitations. n73? that phone was "passable" for one thing: doorstop.
@Stjarnor I am just relaying what most "proper" reviewers are saying. All of the major reviewers are saying that the battery is not a problem unless you have lots of widgets activated. The same can be said about all phones that have widgets.
no sure how i like the front styling.. think the EVO looks better and understated however the back is a lot better then she plain old plastic EVO cover... i would have to see this in person
@wafcarl youre missing the point. the HD beats the Iphone where it counts CPU/RAM: HD-1GHz/768MB, iphone-1GHz/512MB Cam/Vid: *HD-8MP/720P, iphone-5MP/720P *dual LED v single=no grn halo OS: HD-android (the OS that ppl dnt jailbrake when they buy it), iphone-iOS 4 Body: HD-aluminum unibody (not flush OMG :O ), iphone-glass(it cracks and screen is not replaceable) iphone yays: facetime(only wifi), retina display(useless when cracked), multitasking(isnt real, it freezes your app if it doesnt crash)
@anybody who has a HTC desire HD can you please tell me if your HTC is laggy or slow, mine is 2 weeks old is so slow i try to play game such as angry brids and sometimes crashes does this happen to yours or do you think i should take it back?
@wafcarl I really wish the headphone jack on my phone was on the bottom. When I put it in my jacket pocket, I have to put it in "upside down." I risk dropping it trying to flip it over when I take it out. =/
@SN00PY746 The idea is that its like the HTC HD2 but this one is android so they put Desire infront of it...There is nothing HD about iPad apps but they still call them that..
Get the HTC Desire HD if you want a phone that can do anything except video call people. Get the iPhone 4 if you want a phone that can do anything except call people.
@3doog I have checked around and a lot of users are saying this. I think I may not buy this phone because of this particular problem. I think I'm gunna wait until the middle of next year for a better phone.
I have an HTC Desire , awsome phone but battery performance is very poor. Turned off animated wall papers but no difference. Battery last about 12hrs before needing a recharge thats including normal calls , some camera use , some wifi. When the bar turns red you have less than 40min of power. Sounds like the HD is the same
it would have been perfect if it had at least some hard buttons... to my opinion the htc hd2 has got the better design... ;( still i will get it as it has more flexible price plans than the iphone 4.
I love this, it's adorable, but the EVO has already captured my heart :3
I would love to get it. Looking forward to the navi and the large screen.
@JesseBochekTV its actually a newer version of htc hd2 or a slightly different version of the htc evo in the us. I don't really know why they called this one the desire hd because actually the desire z is like the newer version of the desire

Damnit, i just cant wait! Looks very smooth & good.
@siralexu The Desire HD is the international version of the Evo 4G
@JesseBochekTV the original desire was released in march.
God you guys make me envious... Any idea whether it's going to T-Mobile UK or not?
@ChrisRyles You do know that most of that only applies in the United States?
does this phone have the feature where you could see the the person ur talking to on the phone on ur crean like the i phone 4?
I CAN NOT WAIT TO GET THIS PHONE NEXT WEEK!! :D

@faddys1234 Don't think so.. .Although who needs it?
This phone looks nice, but i have a regular Desire and i love it, not worth the upgrade. =)
HTC
Miittl
@Stjarnor I'm not exactly sure but it's better than the previous desires. I'm buying one soon and I'll let u know.
@wafcarl Not really. The higher end processor and gpu makes it much more efficient. Also, android is power-hungry??? The os itself is very efficient.

how big and heavy (or not) does it fill in the hand.??
@TheGadgetByte My mistake, then. It seemed pretty dead common to me from my time spent there, but I wasn't really studying it.
do you know if this phone will come to Canada and when?
@waynestateman why would you even need a front facing camera?...
It's BIG, but if you want to watch HD movies in dolby surround on your phone, than it's better to have a bigger screen. Question is how often you watch movies on a phone (I don't travel much, or fly with planes)...
Should i get this or the samsung galaxy s?
@yassarikhan786 I wasn't declining. I was just wondering. What IS the battertime? =P
HTC:
Quietly using similar phone
designs for not one, but all
phones.
I love the maps app. :-)
@MrZaintZ By today's standards this is actually quite small, It depends on what you're prepared to carry round with you.
The Dell Streak and the Samsung Galaxy Tab are way bigger that this.
@moslsalat11 then why didn't they put a 1500mah(which is well within their capabilities) and let people enjoy very long lasting battery life
@psyteamZ I think the image stabilization was off or something. I noticed that right away when I started editing.
does it have a front facing camera ?
@Kronossos It does have live wallpapers! See the video!
@SuperNoypii This phone's sibling, the HTC Desire Z (otherwise known as T-Mobile G2) is pretty much the same thing but with a flip-out keyboard. Engadget gave it a very positive review today.
@wafcarl Just wondering, which department do you work in at apple?
I am thinking of getting this phone, but I am confused about which to buy HTC 7Mozart or the HTC Desire HD???
If anyone has bought this phone, how is the screen sensitivity?? Thank you.

which is better evo 4g or desire hd ? some one answer me . i need your help and opinion . thanks
@short2dude But the Processor runs slower so doesn't drain the battery as quic
@123foraflee
I suppose that it's better than being to small though? :)
when is the hd desire out on o2.
does the 'car panel' app use up data?
is this better than the desire z?
@Stjarnor I am just relaying what most "proper" reviewers are saying. All of the major reviewers are saying that the battery is not a problem unless you have lots of widgets activated. The same can be said about all phones that have widgets.
does it have accelerometer?
does it have tv channels??
would it run on tmobile usa
@whatever87592 how would you know this? the phone isnt out yet
Wait, is the coming to the U.S.?
No front-facing cam???
How much will cost this?
no sure how i like the front styling.. think the EVO looks better and understated however the back is a lot better then she plain old plastic EVO cover... i would have to see this in person
@wafcarl youre missing the point. the HD beats the Iphone where it counts
CPU/RAM: HD-1GHz/768MB, iphone-1GHz/512MB
Cam/Vid: *HD-8MP/720P, iphone-5MP/720P *dual LED v single=no grn halo
OS: HD-android (the OS that ppl dnt jailbrake when they buy it), iphone-iOS 4
Body: HD-aluminum unibody (not flush OMG :O ), iphone-glass(it cracks and screen is not replaceable)
iphone yays: facetime(only wifi), retina display(useless when cracked), multitasking(isnt real, it freezes your app if it doesnt crash)
@toonlass as my friend told me ,yes it has the option but i am not 100% sure..
@anybody who has a HTC desire HD can you please tell me if your HTC is laggy or slow, mine is 2 weeks old is so slow i try to play game such as angry brids and sometimes crashes does this happen to yours or do you think i should take it back?
@SupaSix1 Not gonna lie I really like the EVO too, but i just like this phone's appearance more.
Damn people calm down about the HD subtitle... there was no hd screens back then...
damn should of waited for the desire hd but the normal desire is still epic
@CityFlashLights
That still gives no reason to announce an upgraded phone 6 months after release.
@wafcarl I really wish the headphone jack on my phone was on the bottom. When I put it in my jacket pocket, I have to put it in "upside down." I risk dropping it trying to flip it over when I take it out. =/
@mobileburn Saying 'haytch' is just a mistake... It's not a regional thing.
@trdracer21 True, but the 1 problem I had was that it was rather large. This 1 is a bit slimmer and smaller.
@SN00PY746 The idea is that its like the HTC HD2 but this one is android so they put Desire infront of it...There is nothing HD about iPad apps but they still call them that..
@StonersOath this is HD... Z has keyboard
@Rydahshit htc stopped using amoled due to shortages, new desires have super lcd screens, this is carried over to the desire hd too
I WANT THAT FOR VERIZON!!!
Although I do prefer HTC Desire HD abit over the iPhone 4, but the iPhone 4 is still not a bad hone at all!
@PwnedByTheBANZAAAI lol didnt realise we had a language expert present!
@bilem8 I ve ordered one today i cant wait too finally i can get rid of my 5800
The best Mobile.
i sell my desire and get this phone end of october *-* cant wait
@MrZaintZ its pushin it but not that big
@yassarikhan786 the review on engadget said the battery is bad, ran out after a day of not intensive use
Get the HTC Desire HD if you want a phone that can do anything except video call people.
Get the iPhone 4 if you want a phone that can do anything except call people.
Umm guys can u help me,, I'm looking for one of the best smartphones but with hard keyboard?
@bilem8 im getting one today as an upgrade from my nokia 5800
@StickyGeko Ha! My phone will definitely be holding it's value then!
@AllTimeIsRelative im either for the HD OR Desire z :P More on Desire z though
@SimonBinning your 12 and you have a phone?! when i was 12 i had pokemon cards!!
This phones processor uses less power than the previous desire so there would be no problem with the battery. Looks like an excellent phone!
@yassarikhan786 And what is the batterytime?
*waaay to lazy to look it up, rather commenting*
@3doog I have checked around and a lot of users are saying this. I think I may not buy this phone because of this particular problem. I think I'm gunna wait until the middle of next year for a better phone.
Same exact thing as the Inspire 4G. HTC OWNS ALL.
mark1wtf don't be rude. Warfcarl is only voicing his opinion on this phone.
@girlsdrinkfeck lol no, iphone is 9.3 mm orso and the hd 11 orso dont know it exactly
I just buyed it =D
what a huge brick?!
i just bought this phone and compared to my friends iphone 4 i think its much better :)
htc that sooooooooo good!
I have an HTC Desire , awsome phone but battery performance is very poor. Turned off animated wall papers but no difference. Battery last about 12hrs before needing a recharge thats including normal calls , some camera use , some wifi. When the bar turns red you have less than 40min of power. Sounds like the HD is the same
@wafcarl I got one Htc desire hd and belive me thats more nicer than an Iphone + its not so expensive and the apps are free
@MrZaintZ that's what she said
looks dandy, wish it had AMOLED screen
@PwnedByTheBANZAAAI He's British. That's how they say "h". They do that in a lot of countries.
@yassarikhan786 The cpu is a remake of the snapdragon what is way smaller and it use a lot les battery
Why wasn't the Desire like this before? It just seems like a stupid idea to release it and announce a new version of it 3 months later.
wtf i thought the desire z had a keyboard?? this is def not the g2.. unless im gettin the names mixed up
@wafcarl I have had a HTC HD 2, it 's as big and it fits very well in your pocket.. So I find your reaction silly ;)
I love the fact your reviewing a phone in the Airport :L nice phone though
@ChrisRyles You missed one. "I am for girls or those that like to dress in girls cloths"
I would get it but i've been spoilt by Apple's retina display.
@wafcarI I think you have one of these beauties and just want to hog it all to yourself thumbs up if you agree folks
it would have been perfect if it had at least some hard buttons... to my opinion the htc hd2 has got the better design... ;( still i will get it as it has more flexible price plans than the iphone 4.
@arle0127 take it back .. this is one of the fastest android phones no reason for it to be slow.
