thanks dude but it's tooooooooooooo much

did you get the maps through HTCsense.com??
[Desire HD General] NoEnd:
:confused::confused: ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

ummmmmmmm

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :eek: :eek:

the current dealer in bahrain (Future Communication LLC) says that the DHD will be available after 6 months, and he was so confident while he is saying that :S omg it's just 1 day flight from Taiwan (HTC Manufacture) or UK (where i'm going to buy it from :cool:) why six months :SSSSS i mean 1 month would be just stupid but 6!! will be insane
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS

Just bought my new Desire HD, will be here on Tuesday....

Sorry guys but I just had to share that with someone, if I mention the words Desire HD to my wife again I think you may be reading about me in the newspaper ssshhhh.... I feel like a kid again hahaha.....I cant wait !!!:D
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
OMG is he on drugs ??

6 months is ridiculous, what's it been shipped by..... donkey???
[Desire HD General] NoEnd:
hehehe no body really care about the middle east right now, they dont support the official language of 26 countries which means 280 million person in the world, plus we are the last place to have the phones released officially in our markets. i know 6 months are tooooooooooo much but what to say :rolleyes: we are just between Europe and Taiwan and :eek: what they skipped us :D lol.

btw congrats on your phone:cool:
[Desire HD General] DarrenT:
You cant post that without saying where from dude!
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
HAHAHA Sorry, I guess not, I bought it off ebay, he had taken pictures of it and had over 500 100% feedback, I even spoke to him on the phone, his brand new upgrade and its unlocked...fingers crossed all should be ok.

Manual + Looking for mirrors!

I've got a manual for you guys! After all it was hidden on the SD-card.

http://kaipee.co.uk/dhd/DHD_manual.pdf

http://files.danhof.org/DHD/DHD_manual.pdf

http://leviathan.planetaclix.pt/DHD_manual.pdf

http://finalcity.com/dhd/DHD_manual.pdf

And an important other question to you: are there any people who can mirror all the files we've uploaded? It's 200MB of data, and all the mirrors together pulled 1.7TB of bandwidth right now. If we don't get more good mirrors the files will have to go offline. If you're able to help with a mirror, please PM me the FTP info and I'll upload everything.

Huge thanks to the people mirroring right now! @Craig and @jords12
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Hey dont worry, just seeing the screen is good enough for me, that screen is just fine and settled my mind, the speaker was what I expected but no real biggy as long as I dont miss calls ect, again thanks for your time...Im so pleased now and really cant wait to get mine.
[Desire HD General] Clock1932:
The piece around the flash is a patch of rubber/plastic from the same material as the battery+sim cover. It's just a little thicker, so it sticks out a bit. Very little though.

It's properly attached and doesn't come loose.
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Yes well spotted I think your right !
[Desire HD General] eddyrick:
its look brilliant compares to the Touch HD, is it possbile to have some examples of sound and as said above the manual is on CD :D
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Glad I sold my galaxy s now, a bit of a gamble but this phone looks swweeeeett.
[Desire HD General] Clock1932:
There's no CD in the package, only a small quick guide with the insert-battery stuff in it. The phone isn't on the support site from HTC yet, so the full manual isn't available yet.

(XDA let me post only once every 5 minutes)
[Desire HD General] Devilsduck:
D'oh!

It would have been nice to see the manual. I'll keep checking the HTC website every 10mins or so :D

God, this phone is going to give me a heart attack
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Im going to stick my neck on the chopping block and say compared to the Touch hd that has the same res but is lcd, that the Desire HD is in fact after all S-LCD..

Yep thats a full 360 turn around from what I said yesterday.. really who cares...just look at the screen its fab either way !!

Can you tell us about the performance going through menu's and surfing the web ect...
[Desire HD General] core_sa:
Dont personally see any reason to exchange my SGS for the Desire HD. No front facing camera, no amoled screen, am I missing something?

On the upside, I just traded in my HTC HD2 and I can honestly say it was a super phone. Build quality was amasing and the Desire HD looks like the android version of the HD2.
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
I hear you on that score, Ive drove my wife up the wall talking about it !!
[Desire HD General] eozen81:
wow, cong pal.

1) Is it on contract or How much did you pay?

2) I believe it's not unlocked/simfree, right?

3) Please do not sleep tonight and test the battery performance :)
[Desire HD General] BartOtten:
Please edit only one post. So I can refresh only that post and include it in the topicstart. Saves me a lot of time :)
[Desire HD General] Devilsduck:
Yeah, my wife said she was going to write HTC Desire HD2 on her head so I might pay her some attention!

lol
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
In one hand I loved my galaxy s and in another I hated it, had so much go wrong with it and Samsung support with there updates and then the lag of the phone, then the black screen, then no signal with calls, I just had enough, I love HTC and cant wait to get this phone, Samsung can keep their super amoled screen, nice but not worth the sacrifice.
[Desire HD General] Clock1932:
Performance is great. Surfing is (with 3g) a whole whole lot faster than with the Touch HD. On the THD you'll have to wait for it to render the page and the pictures, on de DHD it's all done in a second or so.

The Sense skin (and Android ofcourse) provide a far better user experience than the THD on WinMo. The rendering of the windows is instant, just as the browsing and the animations. I'm not yet familiar with Android, so I don't know what's normal.
[Desire HD General] stiefa00:
My keyboard and his F5 button say thanks. :D

Please make some pics without the covers for battery and sim card or memory card.

The non aluminium parts and the aluminium parts... do they fit togehter fine? The non aluminium parts... do they wobble?

Thanks alot m8 for this thread!
[Desire HD General] patriotaus:
I finally got my iPhone 4 sold so now i can preorder it... i probably wont get it for a while because first shipments are already full, but i am hoping for second shipment.

Can't wait to actually have some ram in a device. My TYTN II doesn't like doing anything in android.

Thanks for the pictures and the info about the screen. I dont care if it is not SLCD,. just as long as it looks that good for me.
[Desire HD General] DarrenT:
I can see clock1932 becoming a very popular man on the internet today.

Looking at one of the images you took it was at 1250 iso for 1/30th second. I don't suppose it would be possible to get a bit more light into your room so that you could turn the ISO down a notch or two? Ultimately pics are key but low noise pics are cooler.

EDIT: scratch that. Having looked at all 6 only 2 are iso800 or above. The rest are down nearer iso250 which makes for much better looking pics.
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Again thanks..

What about the picture and video quality?
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Yeah you said it ! :D Im trying to get my questions in before it all goes to crazy later :D
[Desire HD General] koba:
Can i root this Phone or not? Someone test this?
[Desire HD General] Black1982:
Just a comment on battery life. During the night From 2 to 11 i lost 3%
[Desire HD General] deadite66:
dropbox is free and they give you 2GB.
[Desire HD General] LeviathanPT:
Omg thanks clock1932! Now im going to cry while reading it... brb
[Desire HD General] mupet0000:

[Desire HD General] Clock1932:
I'd rather not be the first one to try. Haven't rooted any phone yet, and I'm far too happy with a working DHD. Maybe later.
[Desire HD General] Hero Yu:
Just wondering but can it play divx movies and does it have tv out feature? If yes my galaxy s is heading for ebay
[Desire HD General] LeviathanPT:
I can only host up to 156Mb on that ftp but the bandwidth is unlimited. Cant create another account either its my isp :/

Oh i got a hotfile account if needed ? :f
[Desire HD General] koba:
I ask because i hear that the desire z have i chip and cant be root. i want to knowthat desire have it also?
[Desire HD General] zomfgwtfbbq:
Oh I wonder if this has been asked yet, can you do voice dialing with the desire HD? Voice dialing without using a bluetooth headset?
[Desire HD General] jords12:
I still have a ton of bandwidth left (180GB) - if other people are getting too much it can go to my mirror
[Desire HD General] fubofo:
I Resell Hosting and have provided an ftp with Unlimited space and bandwidth on my personal site. Technically I'm not allowed to host files sharing, but let's hope we can get away with it for a while lol.
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:

DHD Manual

http://88.159.160.46/DHD_manual.pdf
[Desire HD General] NoEnd:
np bro we kinda got used to this type of Racial actions ;)

seriously how a company like Nokia has been supporting arabic since nokia 3310 :eek:, even in their UK version, till now the n8, i don't just mean the availability of the keyboard or the other input methods, but when visiting an Arabic website or receiving an Arabic text it'll draw it in an excellent way. And a company AS LARGE AS GOOGLE with this enormous amount of resources can't!! a question mark is above my head :p

ps. Not just Arabic, every Right to Left languages such as; Hebrew, Persian and Urdu etc.. i mean HELLO google we are here :)

hehe just saying what is in my heart.
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
So Ive had another play with my friends phone and the more time I spend with it.. (when she lets me haha) the more I love it. I can only compare it to my SGS I sold and this is much quicker, the sense UI is sooo much better than that stupid excuse for an UI Touchwiz...touchwiz off..

There is no lag going through menus and never lagged when playing games on it, the only slight and I mean very slight lag was when web viewing but I think that is because of flash 10.1 and its loading pictures and banners ect..either way it beats up the SGS pretty bad, even with a lag fix, trust me on this.

The screen I have mentioned before is very nice and bright, in fact I love the feel of the phone compared to the SGS, the cheap made SGS would creak at times, not with this, very well made. Ive not found the battery cover to be a bad fit at all, it looks fine to me. I would of liked a bit more volume on the external speaker, Its not bad but its not good either.

All in all I love this phone, it is far better than the SGS, this has to be the number 1 android phone.....so far !

MobilePhonesDirect will ship their Desire HDs. It's agony

[Desire HD General] fubofo:
Clock this had better not be your handset lol! :mad:

Anyways, there's a lesson to be learned from this - perhaps the handset is not really up to taking any knocks? Wonder what height is dropped.....
[Desire HD General] GemeenAapje:
ok so who can recommend a good cover for the fone? lol.

Or any other "must have" accessories for that matter?
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Trouble is with a case on its going to be far to big.
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
sim free ? with all the stors like clove and so...

first stock - that week, and the rest in the beginning of november.
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
If I was going to get a cover it would have to be a flexisheild gel case, I had one for my SGS, they are really good.

[Desire HD General] fubofo:
I ordered from 2. Direct from Vodafone Online Shop and one from www.mobiles.co.uk .

This delivery is from mobiles.co.uk

I'm not so sure I'm gonna keep this though as I think the Vodafone is a slightly better deal (internet usage) plus I have not heard of any reports on how reliable mobiles.co.uk are
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
fubofo - congrat !

where did you buy it from ?
[Desire HD General] Hakimy:
I don't know about your friend but...

"It took HTC almost six months to bring the original Desire smartphone to the Middle East but just about a week for them to announce the latest models. HTC unveiled the Desire at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February and it went on sale in the Middle East in August.

The two latest smartphones are going on sale in the region by mid-October, HTC said today. They added that for future product releases HTC hopes to be able to bring them to the region withn 30 days of them being introduced globally by the company. Pricing is not set yet but they’re shooting for “south of 3000.” HTC Desire currently sells for AED 2,299 and presumably both the HD and Z will sell for more than that once available."

can't post the link since I'm a new member :P
[Desire HD General] DarrenT:
here's hoping that MPD get some in this week since mobiles.co.uk already have them.

I'd like it to be posted on Tuesday since i'm in all day wednesday for something else and then i'm off work for another 4 days to play!

Was that your DHD thats busted clock?

Edit: cant even get onto mobiles site at the moment
[Desire HD General] NoEnd:
thnx for the info bro, if you can pm me the link
[Desire HD General] darrenjdoc:
I got a text too from mobiles.co.uk saying the same thing.

I wonder is that for delivery tomorrow ?

All the stock phones4u were supposed to be getting into their stores in Northern Ireland never arrived to any of the stores and its still not here today ...
[Desire HD General] fubofo:
Yea mobiles.co.uk site has been down since like Friday. That's another reason I'm considering cancelling them and sticking with Vodafone, means I dont have to rely on a web-only service.

Strangely.........both contracts are with Vodafone, surely they shouldn't allow the same person to take out 2 different 24mnth contracts??

PS: on a side note, if anyone knows a way of changing all account info and billing info on mobile contracts you are more than welcome to do so on the handset I'm gonna cancel (saves me paying to send it back LOL :D)

Btw got a question, do you notice any overheating on the cellphone while surfing in the web for 5 or 10 mins ? My Storm would go insanely hot when surfing :|
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
No I haven't noticed any overheating at all...I can't wait to get mine, Ive got to give this back to my friend now as she has to go home :(..
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Ok about graffiti...

Only had a very short time as my friend has to go so I had to give phone back ggrrr

It seems fine to me and the big screen really helped, I'm sure once I got used to the shorthand alphabet then it would of become even easier, sorry its only short but I didn't have the time.
[Desire HD General] DarrenT:
HTC have updated the facebook query about the screen. They have apologised for the delay but since its the weekend info is obviously harder to get. They are hoping to update again tomorrow with an answer.

At the end of the day it doesn't really matter since rixsta has declared the screen acceptable for all and that's good enough for me.

Review

http://asia.cnet.com//reviews/mobilephones/0,39051200,45305089p,00.htm

Someone asked before about battery time:

"...We got less than 15 hours of use on a single charge of its 1,230mAh battery. This was not entirely unexpected given its enormous screen, though we wished HTC had managed to squeeze a 1,500mAh or bigger battery into the chassis. Our use included frequent phone calls and text messaging, two Gmail accounts on push, and social-networking services (Twitter and Facebook) on 2-hourly syncs."
[Desire HD General] craigspc:
Mirror News:

Bandwidth usage has dropped significantly for me in the last few hours, mainly as a result of successfuly blocking sites other than XDA and Tweakers.net from linking in to my mirror directly (hadn't done it right the first time round).

However, since the 1,500 GB mark I've been paying for bandwidth on a per GB basis. Sadly with a usage now close to 2,000 GB, the bill for keeping the mirror up is getting really quite expensive and is already in 3 digits.

For that reason I must apologise and inform you that my mirror will soon go down (at least until my monthly traffic is reset). I know that a mere three days of mirroring probably wasn't much help on a greater scale, but hopefully it helped some of you get hold of the files.

Regards,

Craig.

Wow, thats going insanely fast :eek:

But thanks for the mirror, it was really helpfull :cool:

And it seems that the Desire HD does have SLCD, but because the pixel density is lower there is less contrast.
