Both the camera's are the same. Price wise, the desire HD is more expensive atm because the IS is not released yet. AP sets are almost the same price. The only difference is the front-facing camera and the battery.

But the Desire HD life can last a long way if you calibrate the battery or flash a custom rom, something the IS can't do atm due to its locked bootloader. To me, the bootloader is important, I'm leaning more to the DHD side. Plus how can the build quality be worse? DHD is aluminium body..

hmm..how long the Desire HD battery can last?i thinking buy Desire HD..RM1.4k, is it worth it?
*
Worth it.. and the battery depends on usage. Heard that the people in this forums can run the battery for 40 hours on moderate usage. Heavy users can use it for a whole day. They have the secret formula to make it run that long...

IS have 4inch screen, so I prefer DHD that provides 4.3inch.
But do IS have the chance to do bootloader in the future? Any experts on this can answer this?
Also the front facing cam, since they don't support 3G calls, so it doesn't make any difference isit?
*
Can... but you gotta wait... it will be unlocked one day by the people at XDA dev. So ya

hi, need some help/advice.
looking for 2 android phones:

1st
Brand: (having DEFY on mind now)
Price: ~1.5k
Any other better recommendation other then DEFY around this budget?

2nd
Brand: Any
Price: 1k - 1.3k
Specs: preferably larger screen size, android 2.1/2.2
Others: not too laggy, flash compatible

Thanks
*
1st option: defy is a good phone, esp if you always drop your phone often. Other choices are HTC Desire AP, Samsung Vibrant or Captivate, HTC Desire Z

2nd Option: Galaxy Ace or X10 AP maybe?

QUOTE(krk24 @ Mar 27 2011, 12:11 AM)
1. Brand. (HTC)
2. Budget. (1.5k-2k)
3. Specs. (1GHZ / high as well RAM / latest android / larger the better)
4. What you need in the phone (Sense UI ? Touch Witz ? Battery life? Form factor? = ALL i need)

P.S. in my mind kinda liked HTC desire HD

Main reason of changing phone is my current hp kept turning off by itself.
*
Either DHD or wait for the Incredible S. Incredible S has a brighter screen, front camera and better battery, with a locked bootloader. DHD has bigger screen, no front camera and smaller battery. But you can calibrate to last 40 hours on moderate usage. The users here have the magic ingredient


QUOTE(Music Mania @ Mar 27 2011, 01:07 AM)
Guys, getting really really confused right now between the Samsung Galaxy Ace and the Sony Ericsson Xperia x10.

Just found out that the x10 is getting the Gingerbread update after all, and that is a VERY big news. Further more, the price difference of the SGA and an AP set of the x10 is only around 100 ringgit.

So guys, opinions? :/

Though I'm very curious with the locked bootloader of the x10..
*
Get the X10 if you don't wanna modify your phone a lot. Or without, Galaxy Ace is the way to go...

Phew...3 questions answered tongue.gif

The camera is better. Engadget reviewed the IS and said that it was. So did a few other reviews. I went to GSMArena and compared the photos. The Desire HD had a granier picture and was more vibrant and fake while the IS had a more smooth, cool picture and realistic colours.
Its cuz 1 screen is LCD and another is S-LCD.. S-LCD screen is so much nicer than an LCD, and therefore the picture when viewed through it is much nicer. But 8MP will be the same...

wat is the difference between htc incredible s and htc desire hd? which one is better?
*
One has a front facing camera thats all. And get the IS if you want out of the box goodness for now. If you want customisation, go for DHD. Bootloader for IS is locked

QUOTE(weeling2828 @ Mar 28 2011, 02:46 PM)
anyone know the price for IS?
*
Man.. the price 2k for original 1.7k for AP

Not forgetting the hope for DHD.. if you dare to flash custom rom and root etc.. you can run your phone for easily 40 hours on moderate usage..

glad that i noticed this thread...
would like to ask some opinion coz i want to sell my bb and planning to switch to android....

1. Brand. (either htc, or samsung or any other suggestion)
2. Budget. (1k-1.2k) limited RM
3. Specs. (don't want much, as long as it worth the price)

i have htc wildfire and desire in my mind rite now but if i'm not mistaken, can't get the desire with that range of price....
*
Top up around 300 and you can... an AP set desire... if you don't mind, a Samsung Galaxy Ace will suffice..

Its not worth it now to keep your eyes on the HTC phone esp at that budget.. samsung and LG has better low-mid range phones

Hey guys.. I decided this coming months to come, I will be getting myself a single core phone and not go for the new gen dual core phones. So among this phones which would be the better choice. Budget less than 2K. Better if Ori, but I don mind AP.

Google Nexus S, Samsung Galaxy S, HTC Desire HD, HTC Incredible S or Xperia Arc.

1st phone to knock out is SGS... too "old" ~ and its price still high~ IMO DHD < IS ~ Arc wise, nothing catch my eyes expect its superior camera ~
finally...my vote will go for nexus S, if Im not mistaken, I read a review of comparison between Atrix & NS from  Irenic(one of the forumer here)... seems like NS... can on par with atrix... so wat say u  biggrin.gif

WOW!! But wonder how is the community support of this phone? Still trying to wonder.

DHD has less ram, a smaller battery and a tft screen. IS has more ram, a larger battery, and a SLCD screen. But the IS has a weird shaped back.
*
DHD and IS has the same amount of RAM, IS has less internal storage la bro..

Btw guys, deciding btw the Nexus S and the DHD. I'm a person wan wanna customise my phone. Which is the better device?

Incredible S vs SE Arc?  Almost same price AP set.

I would say IS. Bootloader can be unlocked by the community real quick, it has a front facing camera and most of all its HTC!! They receive faster OS updates
