So I’ve had my DHD for a about a year or more now

I still love it even with its limited battery I also have just recently started trying out root access and used my first rom

But I still find myself wanting a new phone & hardware; does anybody else find the recent phones from HTC all much the same with nothing that stands out?

I like HTC Sense its one the of main reasons I got my DHD but I’m considering jumping ship and going for a Galixy Nexus.

I hope HTC come up with something good when they release the first HTC Android 4 phone.

I thought it might be interesting to hear what other members and owners of a DHD are hoping for in your next phone from HTC.

Personally I’m over the CPU/GPU marketing race I find my DHD has more than enough power for the way I use it its IMO very similar to the Megapixel marketing of digital cameras.

I’d personally like to see a shift or segment of the market move into phones that last all day, perhaps with some new battery technologies

What are your thoughts / ideas and & wishes for your next HTC phone after the DHD
[Desire HD General] ponk2k:
Something with a tegra 3 chip. Plus it should sort out the battery life as well. Some of the leaked shots of htcs quad core phones look great so I'll probably stick with them because I've not been let down by my dhd plus the build quality is miles ahead of Samsung and lg. Only Motorola have such durable builds out of the other OEMs but I've always found their software let them down, maybe that'll change with the Google takeover. Anyway this is all talk for another day as my dhd feels as though I'll get at least another 8/9 months out of it without problems
[Desire HD General] cordell507:
in the next couple weeks im switching to an SII then that should hold me to July when i'll buy whatever the best phone out is or maybe the galaxy nexus
[Desire HD General] shad0wboss:
tbh tegra 3 is not a real quad core but a dual core with 4 threads meaning it's faster than tegra 2 but in theory by 25%. You can say that 4 threaded dual core can be equal to a 3 core CPU.

So i believe i'll get something with real quad core processor until then i'll wait for 1-2 years...DHD would work just fine in the meantime.
[Desire HD General] Aamir.Badat:
ill just have to see what phones HTC has released when my contract ends next nov so till then this tough built DHD will do fine
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Yep, exactly my position! Not sure anything is floating my boat at the moment though, would like better battery life but nothing else is screaming out at me. Wont be going with the Samsungs whilst they have the flimsy feel to them, I just like the heft of my DHD in my hand too much
[Desire HD General] ponk2k:
Maybe I've picked it up wrong but that's not what I've read about the tegra 3. From all the PR details the tegra 3 is a genuine quad core with a fifth slave core running at 600 MHz which is the main utility driver with the other four cores kicking in on demand. From all the write ups I've seen this equates to a genuine saving of power on day to day tasks but a real world benefit of double the power of the equivelant dual core. I'll see if I can find some links later as I'm on my phone at the mo and I can't be arsed copy pasting
[Desire HD General] matthew33:
Man this seems strange....I got my Desire here with 1ghz processor.

My very first PC was the fastest out at the time, with a 120mhz processor and 8mb of RAM & a 1gb hard drive....lol.

But now yuh got dual core 1.5ghz phones and quad cores coming along!!

Wonder what will be about in 50 years time?

Prob HTC Sonic Boom, 55 core super charger x 4 turbo 1,000,000mhz processor

CRAZY how technology seems to whizz along!!!!!

matt
[Desire HD General] ponk2k:
Won't happen, we'll hit the singularity before then. They reckon it'll be in the next twenty years :)
[Desire HD General] hero000:
I've ordered Samsung GSII, should be delivered by the end of next week.

Still not sure whether I'm going to like it or not. I'm used to sense ROMS.

Let's see :)
[Desire HD General] skystealth:
Nokia Lumia 800 or the Galaxy Nexus :)
[Desire HD General] ponk2k:
You'll love it, its a beautiful phone.

I love sense, I've tried all the roms but always end up back with sense. The only one that's broken that cycle is the beta ics rom going round but none of the others come close in my mind. Even cm7 with go launcher(the best way to go to my mind) is incomparible to HTC sense. Sense is beautiful, no other weather widget is even within touching distance if sense 3 or 3.5 and many other sense features are the same. The only problem for some is the bulk that sense takes, but sense comes fully loaded. You don't need a launcher, don't need a weather app, don't need a anything, its all just there. Problem is android users feel the need to be different more often than not, hence the flashing addiction( trust me I'm one of em) but for the uninitiated or those who just want it to work out of the box sense is the way to go.

But back to the topic, the sgs2 is awesome. My brother. In law has one and I must say its a staggering achievement. Powerful, smooth and a great clean crisp display, plus its in line for one of the first ics OEM updates make it the phone to have to my mind, even in front of the galaxy nexus mainly due to the camera.

You really will not be disappointed
[Desire HD General] dasj24:
What about HTC Zeta.

Any real news about it other than rumers.
[Desire HD General] ponk2k:
Problem with this us HTC aren't planning on release of its new range until march/April do anything before then is pure speculation but that was one of the phones I was alluding to, the other being the htc edge
[Desire HD General] xTremePower:
Yesterday I ordered my Motorola RAZR :)

I hesitated between Motorola and Google Nexus Prime, but Prime is no Mass Storage ... and only 5MP camera and No Gorilla Glass

Prime is on ISC but Motorola on Gingerbread but he will have an ICS update in January
[Desire HD General] shad0wboss:
haha now i can't find the link where i read it. I think you're right because i just read about tegra 3 and it does say that it has got 4 cortex A9 cores and a fifth core running at 600mhz...

i think i got my pc mixed up with tegra 3; recently got a mobility i5 (dual core with 4 threads) lol

Cheers!
[Desire HD General] sprogurt:
Ideally something with a native fedora, realistically probably something i can dual boot
[Desire HD General] ace9988:
possibly stick to htc ...unless they take a turn for the worse

if android jellybean comes in august or so, by november (when my contract ends) i'll have a htc jellybean phone
[Desire HD General] Laatst:
I'll be keeping my DHD for another year, by that time AFAIK there should be quad core phones from all brands, I've heard the Samsung Galaxy SIII will be awesome, but a part of me never wants to leave HTC.

Does anyone have other suggestions for late 2012 (let's just assume the world won't end).
[Desire HD General] okkie:
well.., for me i can't live without

HTC sense

, and i love HTC company very much iam using there phones from along time HTC always different and with HTC sense you are unique.

iam thinking to buy HTC EVO 3D, i like this phone but also i love my phone too :)
[Desire HD General] PaulR27:
I don't upgrade until November but the HTC Edge is probably favourite for my next phone at the moment.
[Desire HD General] Dennse:
i like my DHD and will start looking around for a new phone later in the Year
[Desire HD General] robbi22:
Galaxy Note! Its Amazing))
[Desire HD General] Cappelletti:
I will return a problematic notebook to the store I bought it, but I can't get the money back.

So I will get a new phone for me and another one for my girl.

They don't have a good variety, so I think I'll get a Samsung Galaxy S2. Hope it does not feel terrible on the hand like the Galaxy S.
[Desire HD General] DensetsuShun:
I can upgrade in September, but judging by the phone market I might not go with an HTC flagship device. I would either get a Samsung flagship, see what phones with keyboards come out(that have great performance though) or I'll buy a Galaxy Nexus at a beautiful price.
[Desire HD General] clouds5:
I still like my DHD very much although the ear piece speaker is distorted sometimes. But there was just some news that it'll get an ICS build in spring, and it still plays all the games and has very decent battery life with custom roms and the mugen 1500mAh battery.

Any new phone i'd buy right now would only be a minor or no improvement over my DHD. There world doesnt need more electric waste!

So when i upgrade itll be something lighter than the DHD, with about the same scren size 4.3" thats ideal imho. Probably a stronger battery and faster cpu/gpu.

But the most important feature will be its Unlockability. Thats why its very possible that i get another HTC phone coz they have the unlock tool.
[Desire HD General] DexterMorganNL:
I have been considering lately to upgrade to the HTC Evo 3D because it dropped in price. However I'm not sure if I should do this upgrade. Yes the HTC Evo 3D has a dual core and 3D features but for rest its not so different from the DHD.

http://www.mediamarkt.de/mcs/catentry/EVO-3D-schwarz,48353,286553,223763.html

Its on sale for € 269 but I don't have the money right now and i'm looking what I still would get for my DHD.
[Desire HD General] techjunkiereviews:
OS switch

I am thinking about switching OS for my next phone just to try something new, maybe a Windows Phone 7 but I will not ditch Android or the community as I will keep my DHD and continue installing Rom's etcetera.
[Desire HD General] Kegan_:
I'm getting really bored of mine now, had it since release, kind of leaning towards the next iPhone when it comes out, or maybe the Galaxy Nexus or whatever the latest Google phone is when my contract ends.
[Desire HD General] Melankolia:
I think Sony comes with a really good phone this year and Samsung comes with the GSIII:D
[Desire HD General] Aerials:
I went from the Aria to DHD...simply because the EVO came out for Sprint and I wanted that extra screen estate that was offered. This was after I used each of the 1st 4 iPhones (they're basically all the same....nothing new....nothing special...)

But then I sold off my DHD after about 3 months to get the Atrix and a host of other phones.

I lucked out with getting the Streak for $200 off Dell's website when they had that brief firesale. So it's been my 1 solid 'back-up' phone for almost the past year now.

I'm likely going to get the at&t version of the Note once a solid/stable ICS build is released for it. And/or I may import the GS3 is it's out by early May.
[Desire HD General] ashboe:
Since rooting the phone and messing around with ROMS and looking into the customisation features of each, I am happy once again with the Desire HD.

Judging by HTC's results this time, I bet they will really up their game again and churn out some more fantastic phones - I am up for upgrade in October so will look around from Sept - December and see what is out there.
[Desire HD General] ozaghloul:
Mobile World Congress

I can't wait to get a new phone. I really need a front facing camera as Skype is now very important to me. A much larger battery is also a must. At the moment the best phone for me is the Sensation XL.

However, I'm holding off buying it until I see what phones come out in the Mobile World Conference at the end of the month. Has anyone heard about any rumored HTC phones? If so please share your info.
[Desire HD General] ashboe:
Actually the battery is such a big issue (as is the GPS and poor 3G) that I have changed my mind - bloody HD!!! :p
[Desire HD General] flow86:
I like my DHD and it's great support in the forum here. But a Front Camera in next Phone would be nice.

Earlier I thought the battery could be better, but with ICS on DHD it finally got very good battery life :).

So I'll wait till summer and look around for new phones :)
[Desire HD General] myself11:
Check out the thread about HTC Ville and HTC Edge on this sub-forum. They will be presented at MWC.

HTC Edge: tegra 3; 4.7" s-lcd 2 720; 1 GB Ram; 32 GB Rom
[Desire HD General] ozaghloul:
Thanks, just noticed the thread. Can't wait for HTC Edge. ITS ****ING AWESOME! :D
[Desire HD General] crisis1977:
Having my DHD for almost one year now...I think I'm going to keep it until it breaks...in the meantime I think I will order a tablet :)
[Desire HD General] 555frost555:
I still like my DHD. Developers are working and I do not care about new phone or Sense update:)
[Desire HD General] Oxygene114:
With ICS custom ROMs my Desire HD runs flawless. :cool: Better battery life than in GB. So far no need for a new phone. :) I'm waiting for a HTC-Phone with Quad-Core, better battery and front-camera. IMHO design could be nearly the same as the Desire HD. :D
[Desire HD General] ozaghloul:
You are describing the new HTC Edge which will be released in 2 weeks.
[Desire HD General] mol1974:
Still love my DHD and there's nothing else about that really takes my fancy. Only thing that would make me change phones would be a big step up in battery technology.

As it is I reckon I'll get another couple of years out of this phone! Lol
[Desire HD General] humanoutlaw:
Probably HTC Rezound or any other phone with HTC Sense which is good enough to last a day.
[Desire HD General] hohinder:
Lumia 900

I am waiting for this one. :D
[Desire HD General] *Edisson*:
My next phone will be HTC Endeavor - the big 720p display & Tegra3 are perfect combination :)
[Desire HD General] MyFarewell:
Some quadcore phone with good resolution, maybe HTC Endeavor :)
[Desire HD General] nikosssb:
I think Galaxy Nexus would do the trick. Although I am waiting for later this year, I heard some quadro core phones are gonna be released ;-)
[Desire HD General] abhimar1128:
Tegra 3, edge, that'll be the ****
[Desire HD General] janarp:
My next phone must have good xda support... thats it... :) but i know my next one is for HTC ... Thats all i know right now... :)
[Desire HD General] rraresh:
This Spring , Sensation XL .
[Desire HD General] okkie:
Sensation XE

will be the next, maybe soon :rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] roms23:
For me the next is the Galaxy nexus for ICS
[Desire HD General] Buddhainuk:
Hmmmm like the look of the

Sony Xperia™ S

Or mite just keep the DHS
[Desire HD General] ziyad9:
i still have my DHD but i think my new phone would not be from HTC the main reason because the battery sucks what i need is a supercellphone that last at least 24 hours with 3g on i knew it seems like dream

i think motorola did a good job with the new razr maxx it has 3300 mAh oh my god thats what i call brilliant

am also disappointed with new htc cellphone .

and guys do you think its a good time to get a new cellphone?
[Desire HD General] sheidmik:
I should get from my work SGS2. Apparently it's my next phone, but my daughter will inherit DHD :)
[Desire HD General] Stevie_:
i guess my next phone will be one running either ICS or a jailbreaked iOS - we'll see what tomorrow brings... :)
[Desire HD General] oddbin:
The next nexus device.
[Desire HD General] WalmsLo:
In a very similar postion. Thinking about staying HTC and grabbing either Sensation XE or Evo 3D
[Desire HD General] PipelinerArd:
March 21st, Samsung galaxy note!
[Desire HD General] Slavon-93:
Thought about Mi-One but when i'll have to change my phone it'll be outdated. And Sense seems to become a good UI, so will take something of HTC.
[Desire HD General] arknailed7754:
galaxy 2 is highly rated man, i agree without sense its weird but since ics i think ditching sense is fine,galaxy 2 has ics with everything working? not sure but it might have. great phone though serious,there galaxy range are highly rated. nice
[Desire HD General] apad:
Mine still would be next htc. I choose quality
[Desire HD General] JeromeSama:
I think i'll get SGS3 when its out finally :)
[Desire HD General] dukynko:
I bought finally HTC Evo 3D :)

plus seidio 4000 mAh battery :)

Perfect :)
[Desire HD General] radashin:
HTC Ville
[Desire HD General] bbawden:
I guess either a Galaxy Nexus or one of the imminent Tegra 3 HTC devices.
[Desire HD General] jazon7:
i definatelly want one with a big bad ass battery. i don't give a damn about ultra-slim phones. i'm using a otterbox anyway
[Desire HD General] heymikachu:
Galaxy Nexus.

1. Roms

2. A/S

3. Price

4. Big Screen
[Desire HD General] bigdaddy83:
In any case none no sense! Currently I would say XL or sensation that comes in October / November low.
[Desire HD General] liamstears:
I got a Sensation as I got one for the same price I sold my DHD for although it took ages to find a Sensation with the better sharp screen

Chose sensation as its got 1080p video and for software mainly, got sense 3.6 now and I know I will get sense 4.0 soon and that just doesnt seem to be happening for the DHD

My contract comes up for renewal in november so I will just pick the best htc phone on the market at the time, possibly quad core with sense 4.0 and maybe something better than 8mp camera...
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
is the sharp screen really better? the one i have has bad view angles and response rate
[Desire HD General] liamstears:
depends what you like in a screen, going from a dhd the acer screen is completely different, comparing the 2 the acer screen on the sensation looks a lot more dull, darker, worse clarity and worse color reproduction

In general comparing all screens ive ever seen including tvs/monitors and phone the sensation sharp screen has very good color reproduction, bright, clear, no ghosting or bluring and overall is a great screen, its a shame the same cant be said about the acer sensation screen

BUT

I still think the DHD screen is slightly better than the sharp but only marginally

As for viewing angles on the sensation I found it about the same for both the acer and sharp screens and thats you can view both screens and see them clearly from any angle but if looking at the screen from anything other than straight on the colors change, seems as if you have put a thin grey layer over the top, its not bad but noticeable if viewing from other angles and I think this may have something to do with the type of glass on the front of the sensation although ive never taken one apart to confirm or deny this and I wont do unless mine breaks in some way or I drop it etc

So yeh if your going for a sensation definately go for the sharp screen If you like bright sharp clear images with good color reproduction

If you get the acer screen there is an app which allows you to change the RGB values of the screen which does improve it slightly but still it doesn't compare to the sharp

As for likeliness of getting a sharp I got a contract online which I cancelled as it had an acer, went instore and got a contract which I also cancelled as it had an acer and then went into a CEX store and looked at around 10 phones and only 1 had the sharp screen
[Desire HD General] nikosssb:
Htc one x!!!!!!
[Desire HD General] combat goofwing:
One X

sent from my leedroid powered Desire HD
[Desire HD General] ATZ-007:
HTC One X :)

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD General] torxx:
HTC One X, as well!
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Ill see you there!
[Desire HD General] clouds5:
I love the new HTC phones, especially the white ONE X. Sadly sadly they removed the SD card slot and my next phone should have more than 32gb somehow. My DHD with 32gb+1.5gb is just barely enough, but i constantly have to remove stuff, audio books for example... And cloud storage wont cut it for me. I already have that but network coverage is just too bad in my country (lots of mountains, tunnels and stuff) and also too expensive to really use it for listening to mp3s constantly through it.

Ah HTC.. why!? So as it seems my choices are rather limited so far. The only one that looks promising is the LG optimus 4X HD, that has a sd slot as far as i know. Sony dont have a slot either and only 16gb internal memory.

I have to see how it goes, i recently bought a Tablet so i'm not sure if i still need my phone for movies/big 3d games/emulators anymore (thats the stuff that takes a lot of space), and my music library (20gigs) and some audio books would barely fit on the one x... big decisions ahead of me :D

So i still have hopes for the Galaxy S3 :) And if not, i simply wont buy new device until one comes that suits my needs. DHD is smooth, has good battery life and still does its job.
[Desire HD General] drpsyko:
By looking at the things going on now, I would rather wait for Qualcomm next move against Tegra3 powered devices. Sure HTC One X is pretty much awesome and such, but with the oncoming news of iPad 3 and newer version of Android around the corner make me uncertain of rushing things. But if I had given money, I would grab one as well. Heheh. :D
[Desire HD General] Ozma:
yeap. I'm in thoughts what is best - try One X or waiting the new one HTC with Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 PRO and Andreno 320? Maybe for winter it will be already with Android 5.0 Jellybean.. dunno what to do :(
[Desire HD General] Einander:
Probable HTC One X :)
[Desire HD General] albertsmuktupavels:
HTC One X :)
[Desire HD General] janarp:
I bet most of DHD users go with One X... :)
[Desire HD General] blazecho:
One X of course :)
[Desire HD General] Nubzori:
The next gen quad, gonna skip this Htc One V/S/X completely. Still keeping HTC ofc ;)

Probably new phone in 2013/2014. My DHD will last :)
[Desire HD General] katman4:
New phone in October 2012 so probably whatever htc launches at the October event.

Or the new nexus, whichever has the better specs.
[Desire HD General] starkilling:
I'm quite content with my DHD. If I do upgrade, I'd definitely go for a Tegra 3 device.
[Desire HD General] moles1984:
For me it's going to be One X

Wysłane z mojego HTC Desire HD za pomocą Tapatalk
[Desire HD General] MarcVanWake:
Maybe a one x but not sure. Waiting for the completely working ics. Actually I am really happy with my dhd.
[Desire HD General] Bert2662:
Will definitely have my DHD for another year till 2013 as my contract ends at march 2013, den will start shopping at that moment, but yet, One X and Padfone rili caught my attention during the 2012 MWC
[Desire HD General] techjunkiereviews:
Nexus

I will probably go for what ever the latest Nexus is in December when my contract runs out
[Desire HD General] ehnemehnemu:
I'm not sure if I will switch to a new phone too soon, the use of a custom ROM definitely extended the lifecycle of my DHD by at least a year, it's so snappy now :)

The MWC that has ended just a few days ago was pretty interesting. Apart from HTCs new lineup, the Huawei Ascend D quad (XL) was really interesting considering the specs: Quad-Core, 1280x720 4,5" display, and for the XL version a whopping 2500mAh battery!

It might go near an acceptable price next year when I plan to exchange my Desire HD :)
[Desire HD General] TransientMotion:
Im hopefully going to stick with HTC. I know some other phones are slightly better spec'd but the build quality just seems better with HTC. I've had a desire hd for a year now and love the phone, whilst my gf has the sensation. If the zeta lives up to expectations then ill hopefully get something like that.
[Desire HD General] radashin:
Maybe HTC One X, what do you think?
[Desire HD General] mstevan:
Il stick to HTC, propably Sensation XE. Samsung is to plastic, Sony is to ... hm, strange, ZTE and others... Well HTC is for me at no1 place
[Desire HD General] DeltaHF:
I think I will buy a Windows Phone device, for sure ill buy another HTC, so i think Titan or the HTC with WP8 :)
[Desire HD General] gigis50:
One X for sure!
[Desire HD General] dodge3003:
Are you HTC happy now after MWC? LOL
[Desire HD General] yskang62:
I prefer the HTC one .
[Desire HD General] stresser:
I'll stick with the Desire HD. Don't currently see any reason to change. Everything works fine. Using Energy ROM.

Waiting for a fully working ICS with sense. If that is good but slow on the the DHD then that may be a reason to change.

I would consider the Galaxy S3 or any of the 4.3" HTC's.
