I've seen brown advertised (Handtec) but has anyone seen the black one available?
[Desire HD General] v-b-n:
Already running the Desire HD ROM on my HD2 and will definitely buy it when it comes out in Singapore :)

Love the new Sense and overall feel !
[Desire HD General] BuzzFuzz:
when I was looking for mobile and orders...

@ eXpansys is dark brown on some pages black (omio.com, negrielectronics.com...)

PS: but the problem is where to order black
[Desire HD General] himu007:
My contract finished last month and I'm waiting for the Desire HD. I love my G1 a lot though :) Anyway I'll keep both.
[Desire HD General] lynxboy:
I've been waiting for this phone for far too long so my Nexus is getting bumped on to the missus and my order should hopefully ship between 6th-11th October :-)
[Desire HD General] riz157:
I have sold my sgs got a decent price for too and looking to get hdh on upgrade if under £500.00 otherwise will purchase sim free. HTC probably have a far superior mobile in the pipeline perhaps launch that in the first quarter.
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
I think you'll probably find the "black" pics are from prototypes or poor contrast images. Amazon have the "black" pictures too, but they are clearly from a prototype non-retail model.

I think they're all brown at the moment - and unless HTC announce another colour, they'll stay brown.
[Desire HD General] la3bna:
I too have med a pre-order on a Desire HD

May my BS R.I.P
[Desire HD General] stiefa00:
I emailed to superetrader.com because of the modaco bundle and ask for the colour. I got the answer, there will be only this brown one.

Because I'd like black much more I asked amazon as well. They answered... they can't say which colour I would get, because they can't look into each box... and if the colour is not the right one for me I should send it back (this was the worst amazon answer ever!).

Funny is that they can't say which colour it is or that HTC don't seperates their DHD stock into colours... :rolleyes: But I think their will be only this brown one :P
[Desire HD General] FaceOn:
My Nokia N97 (don't say a word! haha) went in a bucket of water a month or so ago and ive been waiting for the DHD to come out. Already pre-ordered from Amazon, can't wait! :)
[Desire HD General] JLG's HTC:
I like the looks of it very much but my HD2 is not too bad either.

My worries is the android thing.

I have a windows phone for te past 5 years and got used to it.

Maybe there wil be a rom chef with a windows mobile 7 out there somewhere for the desire hd?

Cant decide just yet.

My contract ends in dec-10 so i still have some time.
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
Thing is, Windows Phone 7 is *completely* different to WM6 as well. They're nothing alike - so either would require you to re-learn how to use it.

I've been loyal to Windows Mobile since before it was called Windows Mobile (good old PocketPC 2002) and I've decided I've had enough of putting up with WM.

I like the look of Windows Phone 7, but it looks too locked down for my tastes, and while I'm sure it will be hackable, Android has been around for a while now, is established and has a good user base.

Maybe once Windows Phone 7 has been around for a while (and if it survives!) then I'll give it a go - but for now it's Android's time to shine!
[Desire HD General] JLG's HTC:
OK, then replace WM 7 by WM 6 or 6.5

Given the specs of the D'HD WM 6 would run very very fast.

I will wait for release date and will be watching this forum like a hawk.
[Desire HD General] BuzzFuzz:
Damn, thx for info mate ;)
[Desire HD General] willk22:
Just had a fresh look at the DHD pics... Tbh I never even noticed that it was brown! And it looks quite good in brown anyway, so im happy :D
[Desire HD General] maruchan78:
Thanks, that's a shame but it looks like...brown it is! :p
[Desire HD General] MaybachMan:
Thus far, I'm probably ditching my iPhone 3GS for a Desire soon.
[Desire HD General] riz157:
Windows mobile are not very finger friendly as compared to Android and certainly Iphone. I actually can't see windows 7 doing anything revolutionary perhaps different but not step forward.

I was windows mobile user (HD2), that's because android wasn't about and iphone is to expensive and restrictive, but never again.

I doubt they will ever get to the popularity of android unless there is some serious investment which by the looks of it won't be happening. Not sure why not as they certainly can offord to so safer option go for android forget windows.
[Desire HD General] darrenjdoc:
I just sold a couple of phones and got mine ordered for 8th October.

Can't wait :D
[Desire HD General] chizzwhizz:
I currently own a TP2 but i cant wait for a US 3g version of this phone so I can get it...was previously set on WP7 but i think i'll wait and see how it does first before I get into it
[Desire HD General] cobhc:
I had an e-mail from Clove today:-

Steven

It will be in Graphite which is a nice colour (v similar to Desire)

Back orders are strongly recommended as demand is very strong

Regards

Sales Team

Clove Technology

Looks like at least Clove will be getting something other than brown.
[Desire HD General] KaidM:
I placed my order with Clove today and had a good 15 minute discussion as I could not decided on whether to go Desire or Desire HD. In the end the extra screen real estate is worth it for me as I really appreciated it on my Touch HD.

Clove are saying that I should be on the 1st shipment .... hurray :)
[Desire HD General] Beards:
You won't be disappointed with Clove, without doubt they deliver on their promises.

I've known Chris Love and his Family business for nearly 20yrs.

If there's one thing you can guarantee with Chris is each customer is not just a number. They look after you and where there's an issue with a phone they will liaise with both you and the manufacturer in getting it sorted.

If you speak with Clove again give my regards, he'll look after you.
[Desire HD General] Atomicman:
I bought yesterday a brand new HTC HD2 for a bargain price which now runs Android quite fine.

After playing almost a day with the device i know, i'll sell it again, and i've already cancelled my order for the Desire HD. For my hands is the HD2/DHD to big in the way of one-hand-use, and i think the big screen is great - but hey, it really needs more resolution otherwise i do not have a big advantage except on videos..

But, i'll switch with my Desire to a DesireZ - hope it arrives soon!
[Desire HD General] bubano:
I'll skip this update, maybe Desire HD2 though.?
[Desire HD General] DesireHD:
Sounds like a good plan for my 5 year old N70.

Can't wait for the DesireHD!!!
[Desire HD General] bmw-boy:
I made order from clove

And I request DHD black

They income me that the DHD black will be available
[Desire HD General] Mafiatounes:
My boss wants me to try android for the company as symbian is outdated we all have nokia e52 and e72's. So I'm getting the DHD together with my iPhone 4 love my job!
[Desire HD General] extreme22:
I have a Desire and a iphone4 and i cant put down my desire i am looking forward to moving over to HTC Desire HD

this baby is what the iphone should of been htc really htc this one out of the park
[Desire HD General] QUEDRO:
If it supports T-Mobile's HSPA+, I AM IN!

PS: currently I have MyTouch 3G (HTC Magic)
[Desire HD General] jhenrikj:
My SE X1 will be replaced by the DHD. I placed my order about a week ago som now it's a looooong wait...Will still keep the X1 at work, like the keyboard when emailing.
[Desire HD General] bloke:
Im currently using a Hero, having sold my Xperia X10 a few weeks ago, cant wait till I get it. ;-)
[Desire HD General] adonis07:
I am using iPhone 3G two years ago and now its time to sell this iPhone to my sister and buy my new HTC Desire HD. :D :D :D
[Desire HD General] azreil24:
Going to change my SGS into Desire HD :D
[Desire HD General] misterzak:
Well, I got lucky. I upgraded to a SGS in store, but saw the DHD (funny how those two acronyms are right next to each other on a keyboard :-D) advertised two days after ordering.

Tmo UK let me cancel the upgrade and reorder the DHD. Still have an X10 too, maybe it will get updated someday........
[Desire HD General] DocRambone:
Looking this way to... :)
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
I will do the same, my X1 just broke and I am using Nokia 9500 Communicator at the moment :D I will buy DHD after a month from the release, because the price will drop about 50 euros in Finland during that time.

See X10 for example at a finnish price comparison site http://hintaseuranta.fi/tuote.aspx/363265

Click "Näytä hintakehitys", it is a graph of the price.
[Desire HD General] Idree:
I've had this HTC Wildfire for 1~2 months now.

My very first android phone, just to see how good the OS really was.

Loved it and pre-ordered a DHD.

HTC Raphael -> Samsung GS -> HTC Wildfire -> HTC Desire HD
[Desire HD General] weetabix1980:
I have a iphone4 and a desire but I ordered the HD. I love android and i am a gadget freak :D
[Desire HD General] bruce007:
Same here. Sold my SGS already. This will do nicely (understatement)! :)
[Desire HD General] Bumble-Bee:
Same Selling My SGS for the Desire HD.

HTC i missed you !! :)
[Desire HD General] Kimi72:
I'm switching from HTC Touch HD.

Main reasons:

- Android

- Bigger screen for easier web-browsing

- Flash support

It was possible to prolong Touch HD lifetime with WM 6.5 ROM updates, by I think time has come to move on.
[Desire HD General] jamieeeee:
im switching from my HD2 :)
[Desire HD General] azlan96:
give your hd2 to me :p so that I can have 2 HD2's :p
[Desire HD General] Axiol:
Say bye to my Milestone for it :)
[Desire HD General] bratfink:
SGS

Sold my Galaxy S for it. Couldnt deal with the problems and the lack of real development. HTC all the way from here on out..!
[Desire HD General] turkification:
I have a HTC Hero now. It served me well, bit it's for something bigger and faster.

(thats what she said?)
[Desire HD General] Inc:
Currently have Desire - just bought the Desire HD ;-)

Haven't decided if I'm going to sell the Desire - still a nice phone :)

/Inc
[Desire HD General] shorty083:
Sold my hd2 and pre ordered the DHD, keeping sgs as backup.
[Desire HD General] d3sm0nd:
I have the Desire... and I'm thinking to get the Desire HD for xmas... but I'm not sure if it's worth the upgrade... the Desire is also very good but I don't like the design of my device itself that much. The Desire HD is very beautiful...
[Desire HD General] telnet05:
I have the Desire and i pre-ordered the HD. Can't wait....
[Desire HD General] v-b-n:
I have the HTC HD2 already running the DHD ROM which will be almost ported completely and with nand flashing on HD2 .....

I preordered the DHD from clove and my wifey will get the HD2 with DHD ROM on it .... :D
[Desire HD General] SyndicateXDA:
DHD is my primary candidate for a replacement of my X1.

Looking forward to the reviews, especially regarding the display.
[Desire HD General] icedx3:
I'll definitly switch from my HTC HD2 to DHD as soon as it arrives in Slovenia-I'm so sick of windows mobile, can't wait, counting the days.
[Desire HD General] tekmobile:
Currently got HD2 running the DesireHD ROM and loving it but getting the DesireHD as soon as available.
[Desire HD General] cantIntoCode:
Seriously considering going for a Desire HD. Samsung have let me down to much with the Galaxy S it's just a shame I'm tied into a two year contract. Will wait for the reviews and stuff coming out before I make a full judgement.
[Desire HD General] lostboy42:
Desire HD ordered yesterday. Will stay on T-Mo as its been reliable with my Touch HD for two years.

Why am I moving? Faster CPU but also apps availability on Android. Windows Mobile development is declining fast.

I just hope the DHD/Froyo/Sense mail handling is as good as WinMo with MS Exchange
[Desire HD General] combat goofwing:
upgrade due in 5 days so thinking of jumping from Win MOB and my TP2 to android and the DHD

its a big step to take i hope im doing the right thing, no doubt the device is awesome its the just from one OS to another that is the biggest decision
[Desire HD General] devilleather:
Hello all, I sold my Xperia X10 and I should recieve my pre ordered Nokia N8 this week. However if I do not like the new Nokia flagship phone I will sell it for the DHD. I know the N8 specs aren't the best. You guys that have used nokia phones before think I am making a bad decision? I am really into the camera feature in the smartphones but am very unsure if the N8 cpu will be powerful enough for games like asphalt and I am also worried about lag issues. Any input you can give me would be greatly appreciated, as of now my c card has not been charged so its not too late for me to back out. Thx
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
Have you tried Project Android (XDANDROID) on your TP2? It's a good way to have a play around if you're not sure.

I am also moving from a TP2 to DHD, and for me the biggest issue is the lack of QWERTY - but I'm sure I'll get used to it :)
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
In my opinion the last good Nokia phone was the 6230i, way back when. Since their push towards Symbian I've found their phones to be sluggish, underspecced, overbloated and very flimsy.

I bought an N80 because it seemed great when I had a play with it - I used it for 2 days before casting it aside and going back to my SPV C550. OK this was a while ago so things might have changed - but my relationship with Nokia is not a good one.
[Desire HD General] icedx3:
Nokia is simply not competitive anymore on the market of the smart phones-HTC is the best at moment at least in my opinion-my previous phones were almost all Nokia but not anymore now I'm using HTC HD2 which will be soon replaced by DHD.
[Desire HD General] combat goofwing:
thanks for the input, im with vodaphone also have you got a good deal on a upgrade??
[Desire HD General] chuchu777:
I am getting a DHD :D
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
I didn't even bother trying. While I haven't had any problems with Vodafone, they haven't had the personal touch I've had with other networks (mainly Orange) so I am now trying out T-Mobile, who have a cheaper contract and are now sharing their network with Orange (or will be very soon).
[Desire HD General] d19375:
I'm still using my G1 from 2008, this is going to be a huge upgrade for me! Gotta admit though, Biffmod 2.0 and ADW.Launcher combined has made this phone reborn and it's fast! I'll still keep it around as my back up phone.
[Desire HD General] hoss_n2:
i will wait for devices with dual core processors
[Desire HD General] combat goofwing:
is this right if so then t mobile for me, we have orange at work (remote location) and if they are going to share networks then the Tmobile deals at MPD will just about swing it for me
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/05/orange-and-t-mobile-complete-uk-network-merger/

It's not quite a "you will have access to full signal from both operators" which would have been nice - but at least in dead-zones you stand a chance to get at least some signal!
[Desire HD General] riz157:
Vodafone have pretty terrible customer services, their upgrade and new contracts options in comparison to T-mobile are limited and poor.

From the 5th Oct T-Mobile and Orange customers can use each others networks, I have signed up and so far I have found my reception has improved in areas it was weak. This is another plus for joining T-Mobile.
[Desire HD General] vidarb:
I have a Tattoo with froyo and my contract runs out in november.

Definitely going for the DHD after that :)
[Desire HD General] isaw:
Well, I thought about the DHD.

However, as I have a rooted/rom'd Desire, so it wouldn't been enough to change.

Plus, the announcement of the Sharp IS03 and its 960x640 display and Advanced Super View technology (read: iphone4 screen) tells me that just around the corner manufacturer's will be upping the screen resolutions and quality significantly.

And I'll hold my precious cash for that. ;)
[Desire HD General] edi1907:
I sell my hd2 today and I am going to buy dhd. But when will it come to Turkey? I don't know, maybe on 2011 :) If someone comes to Turkey I can buy from him :D
[Desire HD General] riz157:
Hmm food for thought. Sharp sounds interesting will have to look into this.

Just had a quick look, nah screen too small completely puts me off, small RAM inferior. Some good features but the screen size and design a no no.
[Desire HD General] Beards:
Here's a simpler idea..... Get an i-Pad.

I give them away to my patients all the time... :D
[Desire HD General] isaw:
Oh, i agree - in terms of the majority of the specs, the IS03 doesn't compare to the DHD.

It's the screen res that I like. And the fact that someone IS producing them for Android makes me want to hold out for what will no doubt be coming in the new year.

Yes, the IS03 screen is smaller. But I think people like HTC, Samsung and LG will start gearing towards screens that compete with the iphone's, in terms of resolution.
[Desire HD General] riz157:
On the contrary I think it will be Apple who will be turning to larger screen sizes to compete with Android, that is if they want to retain customers. More and more iPhone owners are turning to Android and this a growing trend.
[Desire HD General] DarrenT:
I've pre ordered mine and will be leaving my Hero. Its been a nice phone but its just not fast enough.
[Desire HD General] Jim P:
After one and a half year I took the decision of abandoning my beloved day one Xperia X1 for the Xperia X10, as it was better in every way, I proceeded carefully cause by now I learned that no one should buy a new phone at least for a month since its release, so I found out how underperformed was on the market and realized that Sony would not support it for long...

So with these in mind and some hardware/software shortcomings I changed my mind and considered the new iPhone 4... long story short iPhone was a big let down and abandoned this too

Knowing the industry I was completely sure that the big companies would announce new phones for the holidays, Imagine my surprise when HTC announced the new Desire phones.

I know I talk too much, so to end my line of thought I am now in love with Desire HD, There are some compromises to be made but all of them are not such dealbreakers. I look forward to the first month of its release and I hope everything goes well :):):o
[Desire HD General] oprisnik:
I think that the Desire HD will replace my Hero too.
[Desire HD General] Craptastical:
Hi. my name is Craptastical and I'm a recovering iPhone addict (3G and 3GS). *Hi Craptastical*

Originally I thought the iPhone was the way to go. When Android was announced I thought it would be just like every other smartphone OS that had a lot of hype but died out (except for Apple's, of course).

One of the major things which made me think this was the number of *quality* apps available for use on the iPhone compared to Android phones. Back then the apps available for Android had horribly inconsistent UIs and IMHO were junk in comparison. Of course there was/is junk for the iPhone as well, but it wasn't quite as visible.

What changed my mind in the end was that the applications appeared to be improving in quality and the apps' UIs were more or less improving to the point where I'm no longer bothered by the inconsistencies (I usually don't notice them anymore either, except for in extreme cases such as Touchdown).

So for me, screen size had nothing to do with it (although the larger screens do make reading the news etc on the way to/from work soooo much easier). It was more about software maturity and consistency coupled with price:performance for the Android devices.

Something I wish would change with Google and Android though.... I wish Google would not just treat the bits as open source, but would instead treat it as a real *open source project*. Allow and encourage external contributions on the code destined for the next release. Getting a code dump once they've already released the software doesn't do anything to help their development and test cycles, and it certainly doesn't encourage external participation (external meaning outside of Google). It seems that Google treats Android as Open Source by name but not in spirit, especially when considering the usual community involvement of OSS projects.

Oh, and I have a gripe for HTC as well. At least release a SDK for Sense. There are a lot of things I like about sense, but as far as I know 3rd party apps can't make use of the Sense APIs. I looked. I searched. I found absolutely nothing that will allow for this. That's a bad move on HTC's part.

Wow. Those were a good couple of tangents. I agree with your point that iPhone users are coming to Android devices, but I'm not so sure it's just due to big screens. I know a couple of people who purchased Android phones and dumped their iPhones because they were smaller than the iPhone so they're easier to carry around (ie X10 Mini).
[Desire HD General] Devilsduck:
I will be moving to the DHD from my N97. pre-ordered with VF last week and then spoke to someone this morning about the delay. He read me an email saying it was delayed by google, but he also said they already had them in stock and would just need to re-flash the phones once google where happy
[Desire HD General] Martin5000:
I've also preordered the Desire HD. My current phone is an SE X10i, which I'm very fed up with... Can't wait till week 43
[Desire HD General] ujkadusko:
Moving from HD2...because I love HTC but hate Windows for stupid copy of Apple iOS called 7.
[Desire HD General] vysus:
Quote, sold my Leo this afternoon, same reason, but actually my heart is cryin' out..
[Desire HD General] deerxmoose:
Legend for it
[Desire HD General] Beards:
Can you tell me Guys ~ why didn't you change the Leo's to Android?

I'm guessing you are after the full experience... just curious as I have a Leo and the only reason I am keeping it is because it's a damn good phone.
[Desire HD General] vysus:
I've tried several android builds, I loved Darkstone's works, but there's something missed up in everyone of them.

If you love Leo, you'll love more Ace
[Desire HD General] jamieeeee:
I am upgrading from HD2 also, i just would love a device that's build for android, because i think its a great OS. also the 8mpx camera and newer cpu convinced me.

It would be great to have a phone that just works and i think that with the hd2 android will never work like it will on a native android device. Even with NAND Desire HD will beat it.

And when selling my HD2 it will only cost me an extra 200 euro's to upgrade.. for me thats worth not having to try every rom / android build and dealing with crashes etc..
[Desire HD General] ahmedalishah:
I'll dump my x10i as soon as sim-free/unlocked version of Desire HD is released. But I am also contemplating on buying iPAD, so lets see.

If Desire HD's audio does not match up to the iPhone's iPod, then thumbs down to HTC as well. Sony Erickson has already lost my trust.
[Desire HD General] adwinp:
You DO know that the keyword in the DHD is it primarily being a PHONE.

If you want sublime audio experience, go buy yourself an AUDIO player with bose earphones.

The same for those, complaining about the camera quality.

In any case, if you've gotta complain about it, don't buy it. It's as simple as that.

You're just like those lost dogs, which will just yap and yap, but will do what they're asked of in the end anyway.

The comparison was done (camera pix); audio remains to be compared, but then again, it's a matter of a few posts, not 130.

Lucky I'm not moderating that forum.
[Desire HD General] pshdo:
I will jump from my X10i to DHD, i allready ordred it...

Now my X10i will be my spare phone ;-)

My X10 mini pro can then be a spare-spare ;-)B-)

Send from my X10, still without 2.1 *&%#
[Desire HD General] kingcedz:
out with Nexus One, preordered DesireHD, will use it along side iPhone4
[Desire HD General] Wafster:
