so for ur opinion, desire is better than desire hd?

What you want in a phone, first is battery life right? And with a smartphone, battery drains really fast. With 1300 mAh, even faster.. So desire would be better although its older. But if u wan a bigger screen, then I cant stop u

X8 seems better than x10 mini IMO. Camera good or not depends on what you use it for. IMHO, no phone camera can give you the level of satisfaction a real camera can.. If your camera is only use for sending mms pic, I think X8 or X10 mini can do the job well...

Desire is an almost perfect phone. Great usability, battery and everything else. Desire HD has a very small battery. 1300 mAh. Thats small for a huge phone with great display quality. SGS i heard got lag issues. So in the end, the choice is yours. Do check some reviews and see which side you will fall on
Nexus for me if based on his explanation

Desire Battery sucks very fast lar....one day habis...if active angry bird, half a day also habis...

Smartphone power cannot last long...coz do too many things....

btw, i am deciding between the following for my wife:

1) Iphone 4
2) HTC Desire HD
3) Samsung Galaxy S

HTC Desire HD - great UI, 768MB RAM ( currently i think it has the highest RAM among all Android phones) but don't like the internal 1.5GB storage....most Android apps needs internal storage and not all apps can be moved to SD card.
SGS - good screen and GPU, 8/16GB internal storage!!! But crappy camera...flash pun tadak..not even an LED...damn cheapskate for such an expensive phone!
Iphone 4 - the almost perfect phone except you have to pay for everything in the app store (unless you only use 'Trial' or 'Lite' versions). But camera better than both DHD and SGS.

But i think wife more lean to iPhone....haha....but i try to poison her 'Android is Better!'..... thumbup.gif

Guys.....Let's say my budget's at .....RM3K.

I want a phone that;

1. Is as close to the Blackberry as possible in terms of typing on a physical keyboard.

2. Is as responsive to touch as the iPhones

3. Is much more fun to play around and tweak compared to the iPhone

4. Powerful as hell just cuz .....I duno, cuz if I'm gonna splurge, may as well get the best money can buy at the moment.

I'm currently deciding between,

1. HTC Desire Z.
2. HTC Desire HD.
3. Samsung Galaxy

I really like the Desire Z but it's currently offered only by Maxis which makes it a bummer.

Can anybody tell me why I should NOT get the Desire Z?

The Atrix....I heard was gonna cost way beyond 3K wasn't it?
And does it have a physical keyboard? I'm still researching but if there's any kind souls that can tell me if there's any dual-core phones with a physical keyboard, that's currently available, it'll be great!

$330 pre-order with subsides i heard. So far no dual- cores with physical keyboard. But ATRIX got it's own lappy dock.

Your best bet would be the Desire Z or T-Mobile G2 (same phone with stock android).

Other than that, your out of luck. No announcement of dual-core physical keyboard phones yet. sweat.gif

Hard to get option 1 and 2 la. Maybe 2nd hand, but you will have very little warranty left on it. HTC wildfire is ur best option.
