I bet it's because the Malaysian market is small.

very small indeed... coz this is expensive... if u work in sg u can but 4 desire HD using ur 1 month salary (lets say 3.5k) but in malaysia u can't even buy 2...

the specs for the phone is there i think and the design seems ok. but its the OS leh... i know it looks plain and simple, but i dont think i will do plain and simple within the first few months. I am more of a "information overload" person. i like it having a lot of stuffs.

LTE phones should be launched in early 2011 rite? it prob be a really good reason to skip DHD since it wouldnt support LTE anyway. When LTE is launched here I think the resale value of the DHD will plunge.

Added on November 16, 2010, 6:55 amif it is small den a small shipment should be too difficult to secure rite? i mean a shipment of 10000 pieces shouldnt be too difficult for early adopters like us im sure 10k units should be sufficient for the past and next 1-2 months

Waited 2 month for the DHD, I really need a phone to replace my failing E71 (not worth repairing IMHO). Finally last week I settled for SGS - I figured I need a phone now and for practical reasons no device is worth the 3month wait (unless you just want it for a toy). Also they are worries about battery consumption and big screen/same resolution issue (though the HD2 looks fine for me) etc

SGS works just fine, no GPS problems, put in the lag fix and it bearable. No phone is pefect.

i might jump ship to SNS at this rate...

patience guys. the old desire also took 3 months to get to xbolehland...so if we calculate 15 Sept DHD launch - should get in 15 Dec.

we are at xbolehland la - everythin oso 3 months slower geh - even ip4 launch at msia oso at sept wat.

so even if we wanna wait for Nexus S which was rumored to be released at Q1 2011, by the time it reach xbolehland oso Jun July liao.

zzz...

a good time to upgrade from SGS
couldnt wait for DHD, I bought the SGS instead. not much of difference.
but DHD have superior GPS with installed maps (Locations)

good luck waiting guys

good point~

i would advise strongly against being patience with HTC/SIS, mainly coz the time between the Desire and Desire HD is only 6 month, so with the availability only 3 months after launch dat means u only have 3 month before it becomes obsolete. i do see HTC actually releasing a Desire HD successor within the next 6 month, using at least Android 3.0.

DHD is coming to HK on next monday (22nd Nov)

For those who knows how to read chinese :

hmm...they mz be the first in asia. so lucky.

any sifus know whether if i get DHD from HK will i be able to claim warranty from SIS or HTC Malaysia?

Yup, exactly.

By the time the DHD is finally available here, I bet within 3 months or so you will see leaked news of the DHD successor.

So I asked myself, do I want to make myself wait and wait and wait just to finally buy a phone that will be obsolete within 3 months or so?

The answer is NO WAY. Even SGS/N1 successor, the Nexus 2 is already on the rumour mill and we're still waiting for the DHD? What a joke.

Anyway, I've given waiting. I bought a Samsung Wave two weeks ago. Bada is no Android, but I'm still very happy with the phone overall. Super AMOLED screen is gorgeous. And at least I'm holding it in my hands, not looking at pictures of it online.

To those who are waiting, yea, I wish you good luck.

sigh....

Hongkong release next monday neh.

siapa ada pegi hongkong!

DHD was launched in Asia on 8 Oct in Taiwan. On 15 Oct they had a private event in Msia to launch it as well.

But here we are, in the middle of November with December coming soon, and still we can't buy the phone.

Seriously, what is the point of having an official launch for a product if it's not even going to be available for another few months?

And what's worse, for Malaysia, we don't even have a clue when it will be made available.

This is just very sloppy marketing work.

Ya , you are rite... no point to launch if you can supply the phone...

do you guys really need to have the phone as in NOW .. NOW? by the time DHD is out, you will be seeing another newer model advertise..cannot chase technology especially phone

Agree , malaysia is so slow somemore , each time any phone reach m'sia, new phone released and advertise , so you might want to wait the new phone for another 10 years
