I'm sure if you checked it yourself, you'll find there isn't one FULL review yet. Everybody is waiting for the same thing, yet the phone is out in a week.

week? more like ina couple of days
Sorry if I miss understood, what do mean by a full review? We all know what andoid 2.1 can do because of nexus one so it's only really the hardware and sense UI you'd be interested in, right?
Have you seen all these? are they in depth enough to satisfty your curiosity?

just wait 1-3 days and you will get it, .. as many people will get their hands on it soon
in the mean time, i highly suggest you read this review about the Legend from GSM Arena
when i read it, i almost forgot that it is the Legend's review not the Desire's they are pretty similar you know, and lots of things you will find their related to our beloved Desire
cheers
some XDA dudes will ge their Desire tomorrow and Saturday, they will certainly post their views.
Do remember the legend has less RAM, a smaller screen and a slower processor, and it will not run flash 10.1 other than that they seem really similar.
It looks doubtful that the Legend will ever support 802.11n where as the chip in the desire does support it and we are just waiting for software (official or cooked).
In that video I posted, the HTC UK rep says that the legend is to be considered the new Hero whilst the Desire is a new bread.
Since we all know that threatening to leave a network and asking for a PAK code will result in a free Desire you'd only take the legend if your spend was so low they give you the PAK code and say good bye (you still don't have to leave) or you want to buy it sim free.
That GSM Arena says the FM radio has RDS.
The mumbles I've seen about the Desire say the Desire doesnt have RDS.
I wonder which one is right.
Some Asian countries doesn't have RDS at all
What is rd5?

So, for some reason i was just lurking around the Desire forums... they're seriously hurting, they are way behind in terms of development, compared to the Nexus One. Does anybody know why this might be? Since they're basically the same phone, why isn't the Desire (so to speak) neck and neck with the Nexi?
I know that the Nexus One is like the biggest badass of all the phones, and quite frankly i don't know why i'm even asking this, but i'm curious.
Because we have Cyanogen, Kmobs and many other amazing devs
It was the same if you compared the hero with the G1 and Mytouch. I think it's because of the framework of HTC and the HTC phones aren't that open as the nexus. this is why i like my Nexus
I owned a Hero and damn the development on the OS was pathetic the only one who really worked on Hero was Paul (modaco) the others did there best to. but it was nothing i even couldn't put CM on Hero. When the 2.1 came out it was ported to G1 but the hero had to wait, wait for a long time. there where some 2.1 releases for the hero but never worked 100%.

Nexarse one is a half decent phone, wouldn't say it was neck and neck with the superior desire but its ok considering they are similar. The problem is htc. I suspect a deal has been struck between google and htc giving the google phone a slight priority in terms of software release. Either way it don't matter massivley, because if people want froyo on there desire, they can get it. The same as all those nexus one users who wanted sense on there handsets,(but obviously on a lesser phone
By the way, hows that trackball holding out?

What are you, five? "Nexarse" is sure the height of witticism, just like "windoze" and "micro$oft." Sorry, boy, but the two phones are nearly identical except yours doesn't have a noise-canceling mic. Your fanboyism is wasted; it's like stamping your foot and whining that the HTC Hero is better than the Eris when the two are actually the same phone, with identical internals.

An ex-Apple fan by any chance? Your attitude's similar. And I've yet to hear of anyone's trackball falling out, ahaha. "Lesser"? Paul O'Brien recommends a Nexus over a Desire--he's got both--and I'll take his (much more knowledgeable) opinion over an immature fantard's any time.
I personally don't think development is going that badly, you have to remember the nexus one has 4 months over the release of the desire and it not being a world wide release doesn't help, hopefully things will pick up more when it gets official releases in the USA
Mod Edit: Post removed please consult the rules take that as a warning.
So... five?
Btw, the OP didn't mean it as sarcasm because this thread was originally posted to the Nexus One forums. Durrrrr.
Thread cleaned, show respect to other members rules are there to be followed.
Back on topic.
Easy, the nexus one isn't as locked down as the desire. And because a lot more people have a nexus one.
Sendt with Swype via tapatalk on my Desire.
I would have bought the nexus if it had been available because of the reasons above.
But it wasn't in Holland until now, I really do like Sense and all the fluff it adds, i'm not particularly bothered about banging a Rom onto a new device as far as i can tell it's not broken.
So only my posts get deleted, ok.
Let me try again in a more respectful and polite manner.
My initial response was to what I ASSUMED was abit of a tongue in cheek question. It got a tongue in cheek response together with my answer. It was simple sarcasm. It appears however the op posted this on the nexus forum and it was moved by moderators. The op probably did not even realize it would end up here. My response was wrong to the Equally disrespectful response that I got and apologize to anyone who saw it.
i dont know why dunbad is in trouble here for posting something that was intended to be funny
since when is it that if you post a joke you get some pompous person sitting in front of his computer with a thesaurus, dictating some sort of speech against the inhumanity of a sense of humour?
geez some people really need to lighten up
nexus one and htc desire, pretty much identical hardware wise, the nexus one has a noise cancelling mic, the htc desire has a bit more ram
nexus one runs stock android meaning its highly customizable
htc desire has htc sense which works really well, and is soon to get froyo like the nexus one
the development in the nexus one forums is SO great because youre all trying to get sense on your phones, lets face it it just takes one look at your development section to see that, what does the htc desire ACTUALLY need developed? its already got root, we CAN put whatever we want on, most people dont because it works perfect already. Froyo's readily available from the devs here, IF we want, and anyway we're getting it officially in a few days, so in all honestly, software and development wise, the htc desire wins hands down
easy as that
The nexi is great but I've noticed an issue with the "nexi." That doesn't seem to effect the desire. If you post a thread on xda nexi forum, the post somehow disappears, somehow reappears elsewhere and a little one liner appears in the subject field that says "MOVED". Its really odd. It happens loads. Go check out there general forums. Software maybe? Hardware? A bug perhaps? Don't know but either way the desire doesn't seem anywhere near as badly "effected."
People are saying this or that's better about either phone, but at the end of the day I wish I'd had got a nexi, in these difficult financial times I could have saved some money.
But anyway, I thank cgrec, but I don't see froyo coming to the desire officially anytime soon. I hope I'm wrong. But I'm convinced that this has everything to do with handshakes in smoke filled backrooms between google and htc, froyo will be a few months away yet.i hope I'm wrong.
Guys apparently the new sense is available soon (December) for the Desire
New sense UI & HTCSense.com available for Desire
HTCSense.com is currently online and running, but due to the service only compatible for Desire HD & Z, no one is able to use this feature. But HTC announced today, future HTC Android devices, no matter the specs, will be compatible with HTCSense.com, so we don’t need to worry that entry level devices will be left in the dark. HTC also announced that HTCSense.com will not be extended to Windows Phone 7 as they already have Microsoft’s MyPhone Service.
Another good news is specifically for Desire Users. HTC said that the new Sense UI will be available to all Devices in the Desire family, therefore Desire users can receive this feature through an update. (This update includes the new Sense UI and HTCSense.com), the expected release date is in December.

indeed, I can't wait myself
btw, just read through the google translation...lol, even I can't understand what it's saying...have to refer back to the original article XD
If you run the entire article through google translate it says:
"Another good news is to hand Desire the user to hear. HTC said the new Sense Desire interface will extend to the entire family, so Desire can also upgrade the way through, enjoy the convenience brought new Sense interface, while supporting HTCSense.com. As for the upgrade schedule, HTC said that probably about 12 months or so."
So in a year, and not around december

no my friend, the google translator failed there. I read mandarin and i know what it says
we say the 12th month instead of december
guess what, i will do a proper translation tomorrow, for now I need to lie down and rest...
to be honest December seems like a reasonable date, i believe it's coming, white desire will be launched end of month, Desire Z and HD simply complete the family and it's T3's phone of the year
Really? I thought the White Desire was launched long time ago...
anyway, proper translation up
Very cool. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the info
good news! thanx for sharing, i still think that the desire should have been compatible since the beginning of htcsense.com, dont think it needs more than "htc hub" app and some ROM tweaks.
anyways, cant blame HTC for marketing the Desire Z and HD as a priority as long as they will not leave the original Desire behind
Oh neat! This should be really cool Hope they release to all the regions once and not do it batches!
I am already loving htcsense.com with HD Roms.

Woop!!! It's here
dissappointed there is no microssd slot, but woop it is here. On first charge as i type.
I have not turned it on yet as it has not finished charging yet. Does anyone know how long this takes?
HTC HD2 trusted old pal has served me well, but time for a faster more poewerful system.
Looking forward to the Dev on it for the xda-dev's lets hope it is easier and more stable than my wifes Wildfire S.

To HELL with SDCards. I got 6 of them and only take one out to transfer big files from my laptop. It's a dying technology... Been using them since my I-MATE JAM and never filled a 16mb card, nor felt anything special for them except invariable frustration with their variable performance. Cloud is the future - together with unlimited internet bandwidth.
Mine shipped yesterday on DHL Express from England, so, YES I could kick u in the nuts lucky son-ova-gun

I used to be proud to call myself a nexus *****. I had a gnex,a n7 and used to fantasize endlessly about the nex 1, but couldn't afford it because I was in college then.
When dev rascarlo introduced the term nexus ***** for us crack flashers, I adopted it without question, because I believed thats what I was. I hated tw with a passion, but I always loved the look of sense, but kept myself from buying the one x by saying to myself that it's a slow device heavily bogged down by sense, multitasking is **** on it, and the screen is bad compared to my super amoled.
Then my wife broke her galaxy s. N took my nexus. So being short on cash right now, I had to choose between the onex, nexus 4 and the note 2. Note 2 being too pricey, and nexus 4 being too brittle,I chose a 32gb hox, albeit with apprehension.
I AM IN LOVE.
I instantly fell in love with the build, the optically bonded screen is mindblowing, sense just plain works, beats sound is super awesome, camera is light years ahead of my nexus and everything is just do damn pretty. Btw viperx rocks like crazy. After 2 weeks of use,I also finally solved my battery woes. I just can't express how much I love this phone, it's like something I can just plain enjoy, nothing else, no ifs no buts.
I KNOW I AM MORE THAN A YEAR LATE TO THE PARTY, BUT HELLO Y'ALL!
You lucky bastards, you....

Welcome to the HTC side of force
Its not easy to hold myself back when Sammy launches a new Galaxy, i mean specs are mind blowing usually. But after holding the plastic brick in hand and just looking at fisher price colored menus, choice is clear. HTC starts to make sense.
Better late then never, lots of decent devs in the HOX forums. I'm certain you'll have heaps of fun. Happy flashing.

Love the sound quality as I'm a Dj I use my phone to listen to all my mixes everyday . Screen is awesome .
Love it fact .
