The SGS was great and still is the king. The only reason people would sell it is because they expect a better software but some users dosent care as long as that phone is capable of performing intense jobs such as great graphic experience and such. I guess people selling the SGS to get DHD is not quite an update since the SGS is still the king of android powerhouse. The Desire HD upgrade would only be worthit if one is a fan of HTC Sense or wishes to have a bigger screensize

Not everybody thinks SGS is king. It's got a nice Super AMOLED screen, but it's build quality feels plastic and it's a fingerprint magnet. Also it's got lag issues. I've tried both and I prefer the regular HTC Desire. The HTC Desire also won T3's Phone of the Year.

I agree that the SGS is king just soley based on its hardware specs. But its software implementation is really poor. If one ever used the Nexus or Desire , the difference is very obvious. Even my present Dell Streak and old HD2 on Android performs better than it. Samsung needs to put in lots of effort to catch up on its software.

SHS is the king in terms of hardware for sure.. the plastic build opinion varies from user to user.. at 1st i feel that its very plastic but after a while playing with my dads n my friends unit, its not bad at all.. the Gorilla glass is also one good thing about it. The lag issue is there for sure. Ive been using a HTC Desire previously and i didnt notice lags and if there is some, it would be the moment when apps are installing via the android market (very common thing isnt it?).

The Desire HD wont beat SGS in terms of hardware but in terms of software, hopefully it would be valid till the next 4.3inch comes. Good thing about 4.3inch phones is that its only out once a year. Eventhough there would be a new htc perhaps releasing in march-april, it wont be 4.3inch for sure so Desire HD would be the flagship for now till early 2011 and will remain valid since there are no direct contenders of phones with a 4.3inch display. Just look at HD2, it is still rocking up till now. We may not hear much since its a winmo (yes, the android port is there) but still HD2 rocks out for now until HD7 is mass supplied through out the world

What I'm hoping for is another phone about the size of the original Desire but with better specs. The Desire HD2 has a big screen but also has the same resolution as Desire and a battery with lower capacity than the Desire.

And I wish HTC would use white or silver more often. Quite tired of seeing their dull brown/gray Desires.

Desire Z is ur option but not everyone wish to carry the extra burden of the keyboard. Or maybe u wanna wait till feb/march next yr.. HTC might gonna announce some new phone running the same 2nd gen Snapdragon but clocked at 1.3-1.5Ghz.. but i recommend if u wanna go a higher clock, wait for the 3rd gen of snapdragon since no use of getting higher clock on the same chip based since it will use more power.. 3rd gen are based on ARM Cortex A9 like the Samsung Orion which is better, dual core and better on the battery (lower power).. and hell yes, HTC is always late at implementing such new technology, thanks to Qualcomm.. lol

Desire Z is definitely not my option because it's too heavy at 180g. My Nokia N86 at 148g already weighs down my shorts. Also, I don't need or want a physical QWERTY keyboard.

I'd just like the Desire form factor with better software hardware specs.

agree...my dslr original battery just 1400mhA but last 50% longer the 3rd party battery with 1700mhA

guys, it seems like there is an issue with the proximity sensor not working on the DHD ==" .. european users are reporting it.. the phone wont respond once u pick up ur call and the screen goes dark as the proximity sensor is triggered.. the only way to enable back the screen and buttons is by pulling the battery out..

wow thats serious flaw... seems like a software flaw rather then the proximity sensor though. guess its good that the europeans are the DHD guinea pig 1st. Hopefully by the time it we get it the problem is fixed


edit i think u meant something like this?
Proximity Failure in DHD
