Just trying to get peoples opinions on the HTC Desire HD. Getting bored of my iPhone3GS and have been looking at the HTC Desire HD.
So far the only downside I found is the battery life, battery on 3GS aint great either. Have you got one? Used one? Whats your opinions?

Don't have the HD, but I have the Desire Z, which is more of less the same phone, except for the processor, screen and battery. Although, I think that the battery life is meant to be about equivalent...
I preferred the DZ over the HD because I didn't want such a big screen, and wanted the physical keyboard. Although the one thing I've found over time using it, is that the keyboard just isn't as good as the Touch Pro 2 I had. I think I was spoilt with that keyboard. But, the touchscreen keyboard is pretty good.
Battery life, I have found that I get roughly a day out of it, but that's with quite high usage. Often using tapatalk to check the forums, gmail push, exchange push, imap checking every 15 minutes, wireless always switched on, bluetooth on for about 2 hours a day, at least 30 minutes talking a day, at least 20 odd texts a day...
Currently I'm having problems with the htc sense though, in that it doesn't pick up my messages, contacts, call logs etc. But, I can make it do the ring, lock the phone and find the phone...
If you want any further info, then I can pass it on to youAs I said, very similar phones
I might buy the upgrade today, I'll have 7 days to return if not happy anyway. Suppose you cant really see how a phone like this is like until you've really used one.

My advise would be to go to the carphonewarehouse or somewhere that will have one on display for you to actually play with (probably aren't many, but I'm sure if you ask, they will likely be able to get one out for you to play with), then you can hopefully get an idea if it's something you'll likely enjoy using?! What is it you want out of the phone?! Is it just that you're fed up with the 3gs, or is there something that the 3gs annoys you with, and you're hoping that the dhd will improve?! Or, is it like most of us, you're bored with it and just want a new gadget
Just want a new gadget lol!
The main thing i'm looking for is ease of use with email and interent and a nice screen. I did try one in Carphonewarehouse yesterday, was quite impressed tbh, but like i said you really need a few days to play with it.

One thing I would suggest you do before you sell it... Apparantly, the iphone has the ability to set your number on to the sim card. E.g. previously, when I used my sim card in my DZ, if I got to Menu -> Settings -> About Phone -> Phone Identity, under the phone number it was blank. There is no way to change this on android phones that I've seen (apart from in the cyanogen mod rom apparantly, but I never tested it). But, I nicked a blackberry off a colleague for a bit, and that as well as the iphone allows you to set your phone number on to the sim card. This then allows you to have a "Me" contact card. This is used for sms threading etc, where it detects that it was you who sent the picture.
In terms of email, what type of accounts do you have?! Since android is a google system, google is heavily used in it, so you will have to have a google account to make good use of it
Any further questions, then lmk...

hi sic i have the samsung galaxy s and i love it lovely big screen and very fast on the internet, i had the htc desire befor this and hated it,it kept dropping calls so sent it back and they gave me another and that done the same i even replaced the sim, so i wouldnt touch the desire myself, i love my samsung like i said and apps r easy to install, and it is easy toget any app free , i will help u with that one if u decide to go to android, so personal choice i like my samsung, def 5/5 for everything on it m8,
Sic ...let me know about the iphone , would be interested

I would guess that was to do with the radio though?! So, I would guess that the radio in the sgs is better than the one in the desire. Not sure whether the z/hd use the same radio as the desire though!? I've had a few instances where I've not been able to make calls because the signal is too low. But then again, I had exactly the same signal issues with the orange sf...
well i think so pooface, like i said i love my samsung galaxy s, the battery life is alot better than the desire too
Might be worth waiting for the Google Nexus S...
It's based on the Galaxy S, but has android 2.3 inbuilt...Code:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-11930190

@ Poo, is your HTC on orange? Do they add their poxy customisations to the rom? Still making my mind up on this.
