Camera isn't better! No way to doubt it.

And don't say you haven't used it, oh yes I've used it a couple of time.

Except from that Xenon flash would be perfect. :D

It has the best design ever, imo too.

About CPU/RAM, it could be better, that's right, but Sony will sell such devices in 2012.

And now don't come with woow samsung will sell a quad core, you won't need it!

And for internal memory you could use Link2SD.

Btw, we've all knew this, when we bought the phone.
[Xperia Arc General] ShyamSasi:
So according your theory only 452 Arc got sold :confused:

I have to says there might only few cases not like above 50% If you not sure about the actual fact please don't argue.
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
Which one isn't better in your opinion?
[Xperia Arc General] Gambler_3:
I very clearly said in my post "here at xda" genius. :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc General] dp94:
Except from low light pics, the Arc is better, imo.
[Xperia Arc General] samuel109:
I've seen some posts of the S2 overheating and burning the motherboard. And the amoled burning the screen.
[Xperia Arc General] Gambler_3:
Are 50% users having such issues? No.

Plus AMOLED do burn in, it's an inherent drawback of the tech and is not just limited to S2.
[Xperia Arc General] Gambler_3:
The arc over saturates and whether that is good or bad is subjective. The problem is it looks good in daylight but in other situations in ends up making a mess and the example is the document pic where the arc has a pinkish tint. You can easily edit photos to saturate S2 pics but not so easy making an already over saturated pic look "real".

The difference I see is in the document pic, the arc seems to show a rather pink page and it seems to me the S2 pic is closer to the actual color of the document right?

And as I expected zooming in reveals a clear difference in the detail and clarity thanks to unnecessary compression from SE.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] paintballkev812:
I've had Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync set up on my phone for a few weeks now. Over the past weekend I noticed that it quit working. When I opened up the email app it said something to the effect of it wasn't connecting to the server. I deleted the email account and tried adding it in again, but it just won't connect. I will put in my email account and password and it'll eventually say it couldn't connect and there is a button to manually edit the setting. When I click that It shows the server as pod51010.outlook.com. I know this is the correct server and since I didn't put it in it must have been able to successfully find the server, just will not allow me to connect for whatever reason. I have co workers that are using other android phones(HTC inspire, Samsung Stratosphere, Google Nexus) and none of them have the issues. It's just my phone.

Anyone have any idea what's happening?

EDIT: I also check my Captivate and it no longer works, So maybe its just a selection of Samsung phones.
[Desire General] Chilldesire:
I have had my desire for 18 months now and its been amazing, but looking at the current crop of phones there just doesnt seem to be a decent replacement. I dont like the new 4.3" phones as they are far to big to carry around. Ideally I would like a 3.7-4" dual core phone but there only appears to be the LG 2x and I dont want that phone due to the poor support from LG. I have looked at the SGS2 which has great spec but again the screen is just to big! Are there any phones on the horizon that suit my needs? I may even look at an Iphone 4S!
[Desire General] KreeZiE:
There is one, but it's US only according to this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19282336
[Desire General] deakodude:
Yep agree with op my contract is almost done yet no phone is drawing me towards it.
[Desire General] KreeZiE:
Waiting for MWC2012 where they will announce new phones. Personally I'm curious for the HTC Ville :)
[Desire General] nickabbott:
I agree with everything so far! The quad core phones look nice but my android desire running aosp seems to do everything I need it to do that is it worth upgrading or just wait another year and see how things turn out?!
[Desire General] DaveRichardson:
Yeah, I recently grabbed a DX2 just to mess around with...I don't know how, but my CM7 Desire is faster/smoother than the dual core, just 6-month old X2 in almost every task.

HTC hit the Desire out of the park and haven't outdone themselves yet.
[Desire General] deakodude:
I like the look of this if we ever see it that is.

[Desire General] mikbe:
Let's hope that Ville comes to Europe. That looks Delicious. (And has proper camera too. Only thing bugging me with the Desire.)
[Desire General] Costena:
agree, fast, reliable and perfect size. Thinking about Sensation XE, but bother me size.
[Desire General] Salem24:
Same with me. Even if I would want to buy a new phone there is none, and that's a shame concerning the enormous amount of phones thrown on the market.

I even would maybe buy a 4.3'' one but only with bigger resolution than Desire (so, SGSII is out). And also with big enough internal memory (so all HTCs are out, and in principle after the mess with our Desire, I don't want to buy a HTC anymore).

The only possible one would be a Google phone, but both, the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus don't have micro sd card slots, so they are out.

No phone left. Well done, manufacturers...
[Desire General] tikkalamt:
Agree. Another possibility currently on the market could be Motorola Atrix. 4" and if I remember right, it's dual core.

Edit: checked that out, it's Tegra 2
[Desire General] dgattenb:
I have my tablet now.. arnova 10g2.. market place etc working ... so i use that for email etc and my phone for text etc.. playing a game on my 10" tablet then going to my phone is odd... do i want a larger screen , dont think so .

Do i want to use my 32GB SD card , yes.. would I like to use USB hosting ( like my tablet ) yes... my desire is wonderful .. but i think one day i may trade her in .. may ...
[Desire General] erklat:
Define what you mean by 'mess'?

Yeah, I agree that is a paramount for devices with 16GB of built in memory.
[Desire General] mullemulle86:
I have a tablet and a desire so i use my desire mostly as phone and for things like games i use my tab...
[Desire General] DabuPL:
I'd probably go SGSII or Galaxy Nexus because of good community support but yeah... there's nothing as good as Desire was. Especially from HTC which releases really crappy phones nowadays. :(
[Desire General] K900:
I'm thinking Xperia S or ion if Russia ever gets it. Sony have been nice to open source community and I quite like the specs. No ICS at launch though.
[Desire General] gaps07:
Just like you I though about getting a SGS2 but it's to big to carry around.

I agree also. Motorola Atrix would be great but with quad core phones around the corner I would rather wait to MWC 2012 and see what they came up with. Also has anyone seen/heard about the Motorola Milestone 3 the specs don't seem that bad after all
[Desire General] andQlimax:
Why you need sdcard? Those phone have 16/32 gb of internal memory...

Anyway, let's decide after the MWC at Barcelona, other top phones will come out..

[Desire General] elladan7:
rumour of a 3.7" dual core phone by HTC soon. hopefully it will be qHD resolution.

goo.gl/ AVN4i

personally i find 3.7" to be too small for web browsing though
[Desire General] stankyou:
Whaddya mean there isn't any decent replacement for HTC Desire? There are A LOT of decent replacements out on the market.

The only difference is unlike when Desire came out sticking out like a sore thumb in the mobile market, today's mobile market is very competitive.. congested even.
[Desire General] Draqula:
I'm also thinking in the direction of Xperia S. Looks good, has ok specs and SE has been really kind with updates lately. Especially now that it's said to have GLONASS on board - should make navigation even smoother.

In Estonia 3,5G (HSDPA) is using 900MHz and 2100MHz bands (900 has better coverage and is cheaper to build, 2100 can cater to more clients at once but coverage is inferior).

Xperia S has support for both. Ion only has 2100MHz (according to gsmarena), so no 3,5G outside towns - no Ion for me.
[Desire General] hudl:
Seems the best phone with a "small" size is the MI ONE with official MIUI installed - I currently use MIUI on my Desire and this ROM is just great!

MI ONE specs:

- Unlocked bootloader!

- Android 2.3.5 pre-loaded (MIUI ROM)

- 4inch screen at 480 x 854 res

- Dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S3 (MSM8260)

- 4GB ROM

- 1GB RAM

- Up to 32GB Micro-SD card support

- 8MP Rear Camera

- Noise-cancelling microphone

- 1930mA battery!

- GPS (U.S. GPS and Russian GLONASS;)

- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity

- 266MHz Adreno220 GPU

- 125 * 63 * 11.9 (mm)

- GSM 850/900/1800/1900

- WCDMA 850/1900/2100

There are rumors for a new and improved version too! It's hard to get though which is really, really bad... snif... :(

Solid replacemant for desire. :)
[Desire General] para76:
There are tons of replacements possible. Perhaps there is to much choice. To much choice makes it alot harder to find the right phone :(
[Desire General] Someone09:
I renewed my contract this week but I, too, am very surprised how few improvements have been made since I got my Desire.

I mean sure, dual cores are all fine and all...but considering I got my Desire for 18 months this is not that much of an improvement.

I am waiting for Asus to officially announce the Padfone at the end of next month and I have high hopes for this.

But in case Asus screws this up I might get my hands on a Motorola Razr Maxx.
[Desire General] donverse:
I'm having the same issue.

I'm looking for a new phone but I don't really want (read: need) a quad-core phone or whatever. I want a solid dual-core phone with a nice screen, expendable storage and a decent battery life, which basically leads me to the Motorola Razr Maxx.

But I might just wait for MWC to see what HTC has in the pipeline, since I like their handsets a lot :)
[Desire General] Someone09:
Well, I do! lol

Of course, what I forgot to mention: While I really really REALLY love Sense I don´t see my next phone becoming a HTC, again.

Unless they will show up with a battery-packed phone or one that is similar to the Padfone.
[Desire General] sky104hk:
i think Lg O2X is ok, i run Cm7 and it's fast and smooth...the screen is 4" Nova is way sharper than SLCD's...before that i own a desire too...it's has been mod by me oftenly on it's preformance...i find out that it is "limited" somehow, ram and internal memory r the big problem><

therefore, O2x is worth to buy, although it's support is abit suck but the performance is great, as long as u follow the track^_^
[Desire General] Katamave:
I have replaced my Desire with Samsung SGSII and was a right choice for me :D.

It took like 3 days to get use to bigger size...
[Desire General] Salem24:
I think I will buy a Galaxy Nexus. Looked at several phones yesterday. Well, due to several reviews HTC seems to have quality problems - they just focus on quantity. SGSII: Well, to low screen resolution for the big screen (why moving from Desire to a bigger screen with not increasing the resolution?) and it feels like cheap plastic, don't like the design.

Sure, Galaxy Nexus is also plastic but feels qualitatively better, more valuable.

And: No update problems anymore.
[Desire General] kokusho:
I'm waiting for the Galaxy S III, seems like you can't go wrong with those nowadays.
[Desire General] roundeye1987:
Ill throw my 2 cents in and recommend the Motorola Photon. I haven't heard any complaints about the hardware (1ghz dual core Tegra 2 with easy oc to 1.4ghz, 1gb RAM, 16gb internal storage, 8mp cam with future 1080p recording, qhd screen) plus we have a great ICS build that is only really missing the camera.

Edit: plus for a phone with that spec list, people are seeing 12 - 17 + hour battery life with average use.

Sent from my CWM OC'd CM7 Electrify.
[Desire General] Gatos7:
I think this will be the best alternative for the desire too. Its gonna be mid range so not aggressively priced.

Here are some specs (not official but that's what everyone gathers from leaks)

3.7-inch touchscreen toughened up with some Gorilla Glass

1Ghz dual-core processor

512MB RAM

5-megapixel camera.

Android 4.0

Sound sweet :)
[Desire General] schalmers:
I was also reading about the Primo and it sounds very interesting but I have a few questions that I can't seem to find answers for yet n

How much internal memory? (don't want to deal with a2sd anymore)

what screen resolution? 3.7" that includes the buttons gives us less space then the current Desire. I think 4" including the buttons would be perfect.

Also why not 1gb of ram?

Let's wait and see for MWC...
[Desire General] ShclasH:
I've seen G-Shock smartphone mockups from CES they say it's going to have android on board ... So I guess I'll wait. My good shaken and scratched Desire should last a year or more but it takes mountain biking like a pro.

Next phone is a Sensation and that is now sent to service for the second time..

The Desire is by far the best phone i ever owned!

Really no need to change when ICS is running as good as it does. :cool:

Will use my Desire until HTC will launch a device similar to the Vigor. Don't understand why it takes so long, same for a 10" tablet. :-|
[Desire General] thesavagedonkey:
Had a good look in the phone shops in the UK yesterday. The only phone that appealed to me was the Desire S, which isn't a significant upgrade. Gonna wait and see if there anything comming up in the next 6 months when my contract ends.

If there are no alternatives I would be happy to keep on using my Desire as now its got ICS its flying.
[Desire General] Geegeeoh:
I'd say that the One S might be the one (ehm) that will replace my good old Desire.

[Desire General] erklat:
If that 40 something is not of grave importance, there is nothing to choose there :D

If there ain't really a big price difference, then I'd personally go with the one with the better hardware specs. Dual-Core is so 2011. :D

Don't just look at 2 vs 4 cores... Krait is niiiiiiiiiiice.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5563/qualcomms-snapdragon-s4-krait-vs-nvidias-tegra-3

Also 4.7" it might be... too big.

I think I'll go S.
[Desire General] stankyou:
I'm to lazy to verify this if the info is correct but a quick comparison on GSMarena shows that the actual body size of the phone is just about the same as Galaxy Nexus. If you think Galaxy Nexus is way too big, then I get your point.

EDIT: So, The One X has non replaceable battery... Now how the hell are we gonna get out of the mess we do when we flash a buggy ROM that hangs? Wait til it drains the battery? :D
[Desire General] DHTC:
Exactly my thinking, the s would be a nice phone to switch to from a desire. Will have to wait and have an actual feel of the size of both phones.
[Desire General] Zorigo:
@nickabbott

It really is up to you; if you feel you need the extra juice and features a new phone would bring then i would go for it, but if your phone does what it does well and you're happy then hang tight till you really need to. That way newer stuff will come out, making the stuff like the new HTC one series cheaper, like i only got my SGS i9000 a couple of months ago, and the 1GHz of RAM is plenty for me, i dont do that many demanding things on my phone. So i'll wait it out for a while, especially as my phone can gt ICS ROMs; i'll probs save my money for a new laptop :)
[Desire General] DHTC:
Expansys have the s for 412.99 and the x at 499.

And thinking about it I'm tempted to keep my desire now, it just works. I'm sure you guys know what I mean.

Well after 2 years I'll upgrade for the sake of it... I know I don't really need to but c'mon.

HTC one in canada

Anyone know who will carry the HTC one series in Canada? I'm of the mind that 3.7" is too big to put anywhere but a purse. I do like the specs though.
[Desire General] donverse:
I think the One s may be the perfect one for me. Really like the style of it!

And it's not that much bigger, of course, 4.3 inch is a decent step up, but , personally, for me, still bearable.

I like it :)
[Desire General] balthor80:
Still not good replacement for me, the desire is still the best !

No 3,7"~4" with good perf, good dimension, good battery, and

good support from the developpers !
[Desire General] thesavagedonkey:
well the HTC ONE series has a few options.

The one X is the big daddy with tons of power and huge screen, the screen puts me off slightly

The ONE S which only has a dual core and still a massive screen

The ONE V is a 3.7 inch model running ICS with sense 4.0 undefined processor yet but cant imagine they would put anything less than a dual core in it.

Personally I think I may go for the ONE X as its an absolute powerhouse, but for all you that want one with a similar form factor to the desire , the ONE V is a worthy replacement.
[Desire General] Geegeeoh:
We can't judge that for the Ones just presented...
[Desire General] Lothaen:
One V is the only one of the One range that supports removable battery and microSD slot too - bit disappointing that they are all going down the iPhone-sque route of no removable storage/battery to be honest.

I'm going to be holding out and looking elsewhere for awhile...

I just bough a galaxy nexus!! (also because a limited good price offer)

I agree, the One S is absolutely perfect. It's only 20mm taller and 5mm wider then our Desire, I don't think it'll feel that much different in the hand and you get a much better screen.

One S looks best for the purpose. No sd-card I don't get, though.. Anyone know what we can expect, batterylife wise?

Still, I probably won't upgrade until my desire until it breaks. At least not now with ICS coming along nicely from the dev community :)
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
I have played with ics on the galaxy nexus for a while today. I must say I was not that impressed. :-\ am I the only guy around here who thinks that android (still) needs sense? I've only played with it for 15 minutes, though... Maybe if I used it a little longer, my opinion would be different. The guy that has it said he doesn't miss sense.
[Desire General] laserlion:
I've only really used the sense that came with my Desire, not the newer versions or custom ROM-based, but I grew tired of that one. I like the stock ICS look a lot, even though it's a bit flashy.

Sense 4.0 looks great though, and I love the more minimalistic approach to the launcher. Never was too fan of that brushed aluminum look :)

I dont know... I really dont like the idea of going through all that trouble of making my sim incompatible with the rest of my old phones or majority of other users where I am located. I wanna make it sure that if ever I cant get my new phone to work (because of some stupid stuff I did modding it) I can just put my sim to another phone and not worry about people not being able to reach me during those time. You can say I can just make an adapter but then why go through all the trouble?

Im pretty sure micro sims would be or is the standard right now but its not widely popular where I am yet.
