your family owns doesn't means you own it, have you personally used the Desire for months before judging it?

the processor on Desire is definitely faster, but not everyone will notice it,
its just like i5 vs i7 processor, when you are not utilizing the i7 to its max, it would just behave like an i5.
Yea, you can OC the processor, but have you really tested it?
FYI OCing your xt720 would drain the hell out of your battery, so what's the point?
You're saying 256MB of RAM is the same as 512MB of RAM?
so why do people even bother spending money to get more RAM on their PC?

plus, gaming? Just get an PSX Emulator, done. Why bother with sub-par 3D games?

Xenon Flash means it'll drain even more battery when you need flash, and you can't use it as a torch smile.gif

oh and, the root support for Desire is way way better than xt720, there are many options of custom ROMS for it,
and most software support will take Desire into consideration first.

by the time froyo landed on xt720 (if ever), Desire user would be on Android 3.0 already smile.gif

all in all, you get what you pay for, its pointless to argue which phone is better when the price range isn't even same.

phones
more often than not
its being defined by price
sometimes its the brand
n not the functions

lower end phones
mid end phones
high end phones

all the above only applies to the price

true
performance wise
high end versus mid end
it may lose out or just lose out abit
bt those r the end results of the endless customizations or such
more often than not
the tests tat justify their prices
r done on stock sets
no mods or watsoever

like someone defendin their desire
like someone defendin their xt720
to tell the truth

tell me
u can list out all the pros
bt would u list out all the cons?

n yea
i do hav a iphone4
bt to b honest
i do prefer my x10 the most

everyone hav their likes n dislikes
why not live together n share the good stories
instead of bashin each other's phone

yea
just my 2 cents

pls dun bash my android 1.6 x10

come on bro
ppl r askin for opinions on those 2 phones
u wanna advertise ur xt720
do it after u explain those 2 phones
dun just cancel out other phones
n just say ur xt720 is the cream of the corp
since u r sayin ur xt720 is so pro
btr u dun change to any other phone
n use it till the day u leave gaia
cuz if u change to other phone
in the near future
wont it means u hav regretted buyin ur xt720

QUOTE(lost123 @ Oct 30 2010, 12:10 PM)
Both have its pros and cons..

for the wildfire
pros- cheap, compact, and uses sense UI, android 2.1 (i tink)
cons- poor screen resolution, and because of this, some apps might not be compatible

for the x10
pros- nice big screen, higher resolution, more apps should be supported as compared to wildfire, good camera (i would say the best camera of all currently available android fones)
cons- more expensive, android 1.6 only at the moment, timescape can be a little sluggish

so its up to u.. why dont u also check out the HTC legend. slightly faster processor as compared to the wildfire, also uses sense UI, better screen resolution, most apps supported, android 2.1 (sadly no 2.2 yet for this fone), and not very expensive (but more expensive than the wildfire tho)

you can also check out the motorola xt720, which is also a good fone, but if u plan on rooting and flashing to custom roms, if im not mistaken this fone does not allow that.. and the RAM on this fone is a little on the low side, but besides that, it is a good fone..

another fone would be the motorola milestone, good fone, but might as well wait for the milestone 2..

if ur budget can go higher, u can also check out the desire and the Samsung galaxy S..

overall, i would say tat if between wildfire and x10, i would personally go for the x10 coz i prefer larger screens, but do also take note of the HTC Legend
*
now
tis is the best answer to the question being asked
answerin both phones pro n con n then only talk bout other phone
in tis case
being ur treasured phone

i know that 2.1 was on the way to x10, but i juz didnt noe whether its officially available yet.. and i didnt wanna mislead others because altho i sed the camera on X10 was good, i failed to mention that the performance on it is not as good as other fones..
and yes personally i feel that Sense UI has a better social media integration than the rest, i didnt say others cant, i juz sed tat Sense UI is better in that scenario.. come on, even my samsung Galaxy S has social media integration, and i still prefer the one on sense.. Come on, even on my old HTC G1 the first ever android fone, i could do social media integration with cyanogenmod.

and no one else is here to help provide recommendation, so why not help out.. im juz trying to help..

not dunwan to help recommend
bt i only know my phones
so btr keep my mouth shut lolz
least im gonna the phones im usin is the nicest there is

haha.. sgs not as bad as u say la..

i would say the only thing bad about the SGS is their software implementation.. in terms of hardware, they lead the pack (besides build and flash).

SGS with custom rom and lagfix is fantastic!

in which sentence did i mention tat u buy a crap phone
mayb u r not a fan
just a fanatic

nope
im just followin u my friend
u always ask ppl to buy xt720 cuz of tis n tat
so i also follow u n ask u not to change phone in the future
else u will leave those tat may hav follow ur advice n leave them high n dry
trend?
then is the trend only xt720?
how come so less ppl usin it since its the trend

wrong again
im also followin u
bt im not promotin at all
whereas u always promoted ur xt720
i on the other hand
agrees wit u tat x10 is a crap phone as u mentioned previously
nvr did i argue like u
sayin ur phone is tis n tat
while desire n galaxy s bites the dust

if u wanted the reference
try to check around 10 pages back
see who is the one tat is onesided n promotin the phone

ppl r buyin phones based on their own choices
who r u to always force ppl to buy the phone u like
everyone buyin phones for diff reasons
while most of the ppl hated timescape in x10
i on the other hand like timescape n tat is one of the reason i buy it

oh wait
u r gonna say u r just explainin the xt720 n not promotin xt720
u r just gonna say u r sayin the downside of galaxy s n desire n not bashin those phones

like i said
watever
hope wont hav much ppl buyin the wrong phone for all the wrong reasons

seriously, i really dun see what is ur problem? i did say that software implementation was bad, and obviously i meant samsung la..
i juz sed that with custom rom and lagfix the fone is fantastic.
and honestly even without, i still can live with the lag.. depends on how u use ur fone.. coz for me, the lag wasnt that bad coz i didnt have that many apps, mebbe bout 70 apps oni while others using SGS keep from 100 to 150 apps..

it was samsung's fault about the lag, but no need to bash a fone solely because of its lag.. no fone is perfect, and ur beloved XT is nowhere near perfect either.

i wanted a more future proof fone, so i went with SGS, and honestly, i have zero regrets. Its screen and GPU is fantastic, no other android fone can match it, CPU is great, and has everything else i need.. I love to play games on my fone, and no other android fone run games as smooth, and the screen makes videos on the fone look awesome.. and besides that i use it for the basic functions like calling and sms, and theres no problem there either..

so, sure the lag sucks, and maybe samsung sucks as well, but to me, SGS is still a fantastic fone.


Added on November 18, 2010, 12:01 pm
agree  smile.gif

yea
my fren also say its a good phone
yup
no phone is ever perfect
bt wat to do
ppl wanna promote xt720
so let him ba
for him xt720 is perfect
bt tis is a recommendation thread
sometimes ppl r askin for recommendation between lets just say desire n galaxy s
cuz they hav their eyes set on tis 2 phones
pls giv a btr answers like pros n cons to those 2 phones then only promote ur xt720
dun just jump in n say xt720 only
then when ppl brought another phone
u go n continue to bash their phones

n for those tat just wanna join in
i nvr recommend the phones im usin
cuz everyone has their likes n dislikes

i dun care wat xt720 can do or mayb cannot do
i only like my choice of phone

everyone got diff things they wanna do wit their phone
not everyone likes the exact same thing
live wit it

Since many ppl asking about Galaxy 5, this the weakness everyone should be concern about
the main advantage of Galaxy 5 is pricing

Dudeeee, seriously, what is ur problem?!?!? this is a recommendation thread, its not a fanboy thread. Did i even say that xt720 was bad? NO. i even said that xt720 is a pretty good fone even without custom roms.. so what the HECK is wrong with u? Im juz stating facts, and the fact of the matter is that Desire and SGS are considered high end android fones, which xt720 is still considered mid range.. and im even stating the limitations of the SGS and that he should choose his fone based on his needs and budget.

I know u love ur fone. But sometimes be a little open minded can anot? We are all android users, so why bash each other.

owh, and a recommendation thread wont work if an individual only talks about his/her current fone, questions wont get answered. So if one has used or has experienced the other fone, or even read tons of reviews from other users, or seen many videos on how well the fone functions, juz provide some input.
*
his problem is
he is a dam loyal fan boy
wat we must do at tis android phone recommendation thread is just one thin
xt720 is a phone made by the gods for the gods
other phones r crap compared to the almighty xt720
u cannot even say 1 lil teeny weeny bit bad of xt720
u can only say good things bout xt720
n the first n golden rule
xt720 is the best perfect phone
all other phones r crap phones
then only will he [insert name] b happy

seriously
if a phone is really good
no need to advertise also got ppl buy
no need promo so hard
everyone got their own budget n wat they prefer

QUOTE(clon12 @ Nov 22 2010, 10:13 PM)
Just states your points..let the other forumers to decide which is their phone...dont have to argue

not findin anythin to argue
bt really am bored
readin bout how good xt720 is n all phones r plain sarkz
even when ppl is askin bout desire or sgs only
will still butt in wit the almighty xt720

Can upgrade to 2.2, SE just haven't confirmed it. Devs at XDA are already working on froyo custom rom if you don't wanna wait for SE. Step into X10 thread to look at photo samples. Right now the experience with 2.1 is amazing plus it has high end specs at 1.1k ap set. It's a very underrated phone due to SE's stupidity in marketing their own product  doh.gif
