Sell Galaxy S and buy Desire HD or wait?

Before starting off, I would just like to say I did search for topics similar to this but they were fairly old and dont have much relevance since phones are changing rapidly these days due to roms, updates, firmware etc. So I just wanted to get some advice on what I should do.
I currently have a samsung galaxy s and I have had a few issues with it so im planning on selling it. The phones still functions almost perfectly but there are some issues with my particular phone so lately I was thinking if I should get a DHD instead. I have had my eyes on it from a looooong time even before it was introduced but I didnt get it due to lack of availability, barely any roms and at the time it was around $700-$800 with insane shipping times. So I got the vibrant for $250 and I snatched it up. Now i can get the desire HD for around $450-500 and im thinking if I should make the switch. I just would LOVE the 768mb ram and 4.3 screen and recently I have been using phones with large screens and cant go back to "tiny" 3.5" screens anymore. From my research the only issues with the DHD are camera quality and battery, but it seems to be getting better with newer roms and Im sure soon they will get even better. So are there any other issues which make the DHD not recommendable?
I am also aware that MWC is right around the corner and we will definitely see some crazy dual code, 1080p shooting handsets. But I think many if not all of the good handsets wont be available right away and once available, they will cost a good premium. If the good sets will be available by summer, that would be no good for me since Im thinking of getting rid of my vibrant SOON. Also any other phone alternatives you guys think might be worth checking out. NOTE: I dont keep a phone more than 2-3 months sometimes less or more depending how much I like the handset(had nexus1 for ~5 months, n900 for less than 1 month) so I can always sell the DHD once something very nice is available. Also Im wondering, anyone regret buying the desire hd and wish they had bought a different phone and current dhd owners, any phone you guys have in mind which you are looking to replace the dhd with. thanks so much for your thoughts.

My advice would be to wait. While the desire HD is a fantastic phone, mobile world congress is just around the corner in 3 days now, theres going to be some kick ass announcments about new phones.

What phone are we moving to after Incredible?

Yes we are a collective
So what phone should we move to after the Incredible?
I really don't like the Thunderbolt very much and the Motorola phones are obviously out of the question due to locking.
Should we just get the Thunderbolt next and accept its flaws or wait for another HTC dual core to come out? Samsung Galaxy is rumored to come over but we all know Samsung isn't very well supported. I guess I want to take advantage of locking into unlimited 4g.

Ill let you know in november when I'm eligible lol. Realistically by the time a lot of the ppl can get new phones, these phones are going to be so much more advanced. Even in a year. Google is making a big push towards NFC but not many phones have theme yet. Dual core chipsets are becoming common w/ quad core mobile chips expected by next year. Its really to hard to even say what I would want now.

Nothing worth upgrading to has been announced yet (IMHO). MAYBE the GalaxyS II if VZW gets it...... maybe.

If it comes out maybe LG revolution. I like the way it looks. But I love HTC so maybe give in a get a Thunderbolt

My contract isn't up till next April :/
Though when it is time I would try to another HTC Sense phone that will be top of the line. Besides I don't like any the new phones because I don't feel they are worth the upgrade other than the Sensation.

My contract isn't up until December of next year, so I won;t be moving on from my Dinc for a while. There really isn't anything worth moving on to right now anyway, so for now I'm going to wait and hope that Verizon gets a pure Google phone before my contract is up.

Holy crap I haven't been in the DInc forums in a LONG time!
But really, it's your own choice. The developers choice? Thunderbolt.
I moved to the TB, Slayher has moved to the TB and many other DInc developers have moved to the TB. Overall, it's a rock solid phone that can have its flaws and issues sorted out by us. It's honestly nothing to avoid. Lemme know if you have any questions about the TB and I'll be glad to help

On the day I'm eligible to renew I'll gonna wait for the newest release, so whatever that is

i am really considering switching carriers and getting either the htc sensation or htc evo 3d but who knows lets see what verizon has in store for us because they really need to step up to the plate or they are going to be left behind.

Hopefully when I can upgrade Verizon should have 4g/lte in my market

Not eligible for upgrade until next summer but my next phone is definitely whatever is on Verizon with the best dev support. Kinda jealous of those with the TB but there's no 4g in my area and probably wont be even next summer but I'm assuming most offerings will be 4g by then.

No upgrade for a long time for me, too. But I am very happy with htc's sense, and hardware. So, I expect my next phone to be whatever htc android with the smallest screen is available at the time I upgrade.

I'm not eligible for another 1.5 years I believe. Even if I was now, there's nothing eye catching or worth upgrading to IMO.
MAYBE the Charge, but even that is a stretch. The TB or the Inc 2 aren't very appealing to me. I need my phone to last a little bit longer than the TB and the Inc 2 is a modest spec bump over the Inc at best.

I agree with this. Not sure what issues people have with the phone, but my brother got one and I am slightly jealous. No front-facing camera? I can live with that. I'd never get anything other than HTC for a phone, after the Incredible. (Yes, I currently have a Dell Streak7 - couldn't keep waiting for an HTC tablet).

I seen a phone just like what you described yesterday at "Dreamers R Us".

I have 6 phones on my account so usually one of them is up for renewal about every 3-4 months. Right now 3 of them are up for renewal and I'm just waiting for something to become available with the "wow factor" that the Incredible had when it launched. I still have my original Incredible from 2 weeks before launch last year and I'm really going to have a hard time getting rid of it. Either that or I'll get one of the unlocked developer phones and can root/flash custom rom's without worry from the carrier.

Why move from it if you are happy with it?
I just got my new incredible yesterday. Picked up a brand new AMOLED model off ebay, got a month to month verizon account, just rooted the thing last night, and I plan to rock this baby for a long time.

Good to hear some guys really like the Thunderbolt. The only thing that urks me is that we don't have yearly/annual upgrades anymore so we will have this phone for almost 2 years.. As long as not having dual core for a couple years isn't a big deal.. Thats really the only thing making the decision a little harder.
Before it wasn't a big deal to get a new phone because I could upgrade every year.

Mostly to lock into unlimited LTE for at least 2 years. I wasn't that interested in upgrading until I found out they weren't tiering LTE plans for at least a couple months.

Guys, have we forgotten about the Droid Bionic!?
Moto promised unlocked bootloaders in all their future phones, post-Droid X, Dual core tegra 2, 4-inch screen goodness! It's basically a phone with XDA written all over it!
Plus my contract doesn't end till next year, since we knocked down a line on our family plan, but I really don't mind the 2 years+ that I'll have with my CM'ed Incredible!

Speed up s-off (unlocked bootloader) update

Facebook and Twitter is the only way to speed up unlocked bootloader process guys. You want publicity, not private conversation. So it's quite pointless emailing htc, we had a win, now we need to make sure that potential customers are aware that HTC is taking it's time in keeping their word, so they hold back on the purchase. If sales figures drop, HTC will pull the finger out and will HAVE to do something about it. PUBLICITY. REPUTATION. SALES. That's what we need to address. Make sure that you mention that even average Joe which doesn't want root can be affected, as if company doesn't keep up to promises, they do it to EVERYONE. Mention that they lied about Desire getting GB (well, calling it lie is exaggerating a bit, but we want to make it look bad, and I hope you heard the news), so average Joe can't expect to have his HTC phone to be up to date for the whole length of the contract (normally 24month in UK). Make customers think before buying, even if takes only one week for all the customers to decide, HTC will definitely notice it, and will realize what sort of impact small group of unhappy customers can cause.
Also, as a lot of us hang out in other forums (i still pop in to Desire forum now and again), i suppose we could start threads there with links to this one, or just quoting it, so we get a lot more people to help us (we are a small group of Sensation owners in the end of the day). I do believe that even Sammy, LG, MOTO etc. owners will be sympathetic to our cause and will help us to become louder.
THANKS LADS.

Erm... I got lost somewhere in this but from your first sentence, HTC are unlocking their bootloaders. I don't get what this whole thing is about.

Yeah, I don't get this either. Are you asking for Unlocked Bootloaders like Meaple suggested? If so you are about a month behind. Already been announced. If not, I'm lost.
KYI

I'm a very patient person. I did wait for unlocked bootloader quietly, but seeing how HTC is messing about with us ( GB update for desire ) I lost all the trust in them. So my thought is to put as much pressure on HTC as we can, or they will assume we forgot about it and will let it go on and on and on.... My 2c.

Sensation will probably get an unlocked bootloader with the next (bigish?) update.
Same with Flyer perhaps if that is locked?
other devices will probably not be updated unless there's another big update - as it stands the people that were threatening to leave to SGS2 were the ones targeting the sensation and sensations bootloader - with all the rooting abilities in the wild at the moment - what's the point of changing the rules and playing field? just leave them be to use unrevoked and alpharev etc. ?
Personally I'm thinking that I'm happy with the thoughts of an eventual unlocked bootloader policy, open source for sense bits, and a possible update to the desire, (being the last update we'll see!)
Anyone get the feeling that sometimes if you ask for too much in one go you get nothing at all?

I completely understand what you are saying Lothaen. I had same opinion untill i heard about all that Desire GB business. It confused me a lot. What was the point? Anyway, while i'm a big htc fan, all i've seen from them so far is just talk. I do understand that releasing updates takes time, but i feel if they actually were in the process of doing it, at least they could release an explanation of how they are planning to do it, and why it will take some time. See, some communication does wonders sometimes. At the moment to me it looks like a dad/mum who can't be bothered to explain things to the child sort of a conversation.
Customer: i'm not happy, i want unlocked bootloader,
HTC: you can't have it
Customer: tantrum on the floor
HTC: ok you can have it ("just shut up")
Customer: any idea when please?
HTC: you'll have it....
Customer: i want my GB update for a Desire too, you promised
HTC: no, you are not having it ("not bothered to make an effort")
Customer: tantrum on the floor
HTC: ok ok ok, have it
Customer: but when?
HTC: you'll have it.....
Don't really mind about Desire, as it's unlocked so we can do whatever we want to it, but a lot of customers are not rooted, so they are stuck.

No company explains things. They can have a road map or what ever it's called but that's about it. You can ask them personally when stuff will get released but you will get "soon". That's how it is and always will be with ANY company. Don't just think it's HTC. I think they are a wonderful company that release some really nice products. Just because in the past 2 months they have said something twice and people have responded badly to it and demanded them to change their decision doesn't make them a bad company. It just merely suggests that that company has made a mistake and changed it's mind. If they turn out products that there is no unlocked bootloader or they won't release an update like they said they would then their reputation would massively go down, they inevitably would lose sales and would be back to square 1.
And as you nicely put
but a lot of customers are not rooted, so they are stuck.

they have the option to root their phone. Not just for the Desire but other phones as well.
I seriously don't get it. You seem to have some personal hatred for the company just because they have made 2 mistakes and them mistakes have been rectified.... seriously now.

Oh no, there is no hatred. Sorry if it sounds like that. As i said, I'm a big HTC fan, and I love their devices.
What confuses me, is all these promises, then u-turns, then u-turns on u-turns.
I should have probably explained that this is a copy/paste from Sensation forum. All I would like to achieve is HTC to speed up unlocking process, or at least give us some information. We are a minority (people who root phones ) so we have to involve an average Joe to be noticed. Quick promise without any more information I just can't consider as a serious statement.
At the moment it looks like they are trying to shut up people who are not happy with thing HTC are doing, so their Facebook page is not filled with negative comments. Saying that, some of the posts are atrocious, I always say that swearing doesn't get you anywhere.
Absolutely love my Desire, especially after rooting it, so Sensation didn't really live up to expectations. I truly believe that devs can improve it x-fold.

Well it is how it is and you can't change that. I think when a company goes back on itself in a good way for the customers is a good thing and you should expect good things. Like I said, company's will say something and then not release any information really. They might when it's close to releasing it but other than that it stays quiet. Purely because other competitive company's will keep tabs on each other. It's just a matter of waiting really.

Have to disagree with your first sentence. We did force them to change their decision on locked bootloader (i hope) so things can be changed if a lot of people ask for it.

I totally agree that you want the sensation unlocking and that'll come 'soon' (hehe)
big outcry number 1 achieved that goal - shouting about it to get it sooner is probably not going to help.
as someone said htc didn't really have to go back on their decisions - and a lot of companies probably wouldn't have anyway - but the Sensation is brand new still - in fact it isn't even available here till next week on any network apart from vodafone if I read rightly - so you'll probably have to give them a month or two.
You know when you buy a PC game (or probably xbox and ps3) and as soon as you install it it says you must download a hotfix or patch and its day 1 of release, you think 'geez, they have to patch something so soon - why did they release it so early?' Well I guess it's the same sort of thing - technically the Sensation isn't broken so they don't want to make it look like they did a bad job - give it a month or two and you'll probably get the update which will unlock - or if lucky the unbranded/non-vodafone handsets might be unlocked anyway?
Then it's probably also down to the network again to push the updates out after htc release them so more delays...
So all in all I think you just need to give it a bit of time

Unfortunatly, this is how businesses work. Old models get left by the wayside = More revenue for new devices. If Microsoft constantly updated Windows we would all still be on Windows 95. But, they stop support to force your hand into buying a newer version. HTC are no Different.
Personally, from a business point of view and not my personal view, its a sound business model. MAKE people buy your latest and greatest releases.
Unfortunatly, HTC have more support then I think they realised and HAD to give in to pressure, but I don't think it will continue for the forseeable future. I think they decided to ride the crest of a wave while it was till good.
KYI

I know where you are coming from, but Microsoft supported Win95 for more than a year or two...
Also Win XP's support has been extended because so many people are using it on the same wavelength.
a 24 month contract and a phone that is out of support in less than that - it's no wonder people are grieved...
It'd be nice to get 18 months support on a phone, and after that you can almost expect it to be old hat.
I wouldn't expect any updates after GB (maybe a bugfix if there are any)

True, Microsoft support is more then 2 years, but their releases are not (At least not far behind). The Reason support is less (occasionally) then 24 months is due to the carriers. The Contract is 24 months at Vodafone/Orange/O2 ect Discression, not HTC's.
You CAN get a Desire on 12 Month contracts, but you pay more for the handset first off. Most people have CHOSEN a 24 month contract as the Handset is subsidized over the 24 months. HTC are not obliged to release updates for 24 months, if you have a 24 Month contract (I do) then that is your choice (It was mine)
Either Way, IMO, Gingerbread is a Bonus, not a right on HTC's part

aren't manufacturers (soon to be) suppose to be supporting a device with updates (unless hardware prevents) for 18 months, as mentioned by google... probably not in place yet though but...
anyway yes I think GB is a bonus.
I think if HTC said from the start that GB wasn't coming they wouldn't have had this massive public moan about it being declined at the last minute probably would have been a much smaller moan
I chose to buy my handset outright and have a rolling 1month contract - meaning it cost me £400 to get the phone, as I was peeved by the HTC Touch HD / Blackstone on a 24 month contract only for it to be out of support almost instantly, no upgrade to 6.5 (without custom rom), and also the HD2 came out about 6 months later...

Every one keeps saying "well they dont have to support it its already over 12 months old"
You keep forgetting that HTC just released the desire in north america in August of 2010. Dropping support for a device thats just over 6 months old is not a good move on their part.

And that is a very valid point.

After the Incredible?

What is everyone planning to get as their next phone? I love my Incredible but the last couple of days, I've been getting FC's left and right and strange errors, missing texts and calls, random reboots, etc.... I think it's on its last days .... I'm eligible for a new phone but didn't want to get one until now ..... any recommendations for a new phone? I haven't really seen any announcements for the next big phone from Verizon and 4G phones kill your battery and are overrated (IMO) right now.

Well, if you're staying with Verizon there's the Droid Bionic, their Galaxy SII variant and the HTC Vigor. Granted, you'll have to wait a month or two for em, but they should be worth it.
If you don't plan on staying with Verizon there's always the Nexus Prime.

If you've got 4G where you're at, it's really nice, so nice I'd NEVER go back to 3G, but it's also heavily ROM and radio dependent as to how it eats your battery. 4G on my Tbolt is basically as good as 3G on my dInc is. If you could care less about 4G, the BEST 3G device to be had is the dInc2. I never even thought about charging that thing most of the time. The battery just keeps going and going. 2 days, easy.

My re-up time is coming up in late November, and I'm looking at the Vigor or Bionic. The stats we're seeing on the Vigor are awesome. Dual core running at 1.5g, front facing camera is 2mp, and 4g. The only thing I'll need are extra batteries
Sent from my Incredible droid via XDA Premium App

my last early upgrade happens the first week of September, at this point there is nothing available from big red that excites me. My next phone must be a dual core LTE phone. but I'm thinking of waiting until November or so, Vigor sounds promising so far.
My DINC still rocks, so there is really no hurry.

I'm in the same boat as the OP. Tons of FC's and SMS and MMS not showing up even after full wipes X 3 and fresh installs from the market. Recently I can't find a ROM that runs smoothly on my device.
I have my eyes on the SGII or the Vigor, but it's going to be tough holding on for that long... I'm ready now.

Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters

Galaxy SII, HTC Vigor....but most likely the Nexus Prime if it comes to Verizon

I'll be keeping my Dinc until a good phone with native PC dock support comes out on Verizon (unless another network with great coverage like Sprint gets it first). Then I'll never need another laptop.

Would love the next nexus phone, but I'd bet money it won't be on the "largest high-speed wireless network in America." So the it will be the Cativate 2 or maybe the Bionic....

I want something with a similar footprint (3.7") to Dinc — my Dinc2 is too big for my liking. Funny, some low-end droids (samsung iirc) had similar footprint to Dinc. I just like HTC phones though, so I'm waiting for another >4" HTC, or buy [lightly used] Dincs from eBay until phones stop trending so huge (over 4.3" they might as well be a tablet!)

I seriously doubt you'll ever see anything as tiny as the dInc from HTC again. The EVO Shift is probably as small as you're going to get from here on out. As the screens get more efficient, I think you're going to see them trend up to roughly 4.3 inches or so and hang out right about there. 5" is WAY too big. Apple has got to be realizing that resolution only matters so much and you're only going to sell phones with postage stamp sized touch screens for so long before you're the ONLY one doing it. Since the dInc is gone, they really ARE the ONLY ones doing it. Sorry, but that's just how it is.

I'm really impressed with the Galaxy SII but I love me some HTC phones. I can't upgrade until the end of December so I have plenty of time to go crazy for the latest and greatest phone only to see it trashed in the forums until the next big thing comes along.
I'll probably fall in love with at least 3 phones before it is over with.
I'm not getting another new release phone. This next one will have to be out for a while before I buy it - I'm tired of being the guinea pig.
Only 3 more posts until I hit my 10.

That's why I'm going to try to hang onto my dIncs as long as possible. But I think there'll always be a market for small sleek gadgets, including phones. If I _had_ to choose a replacement today, I suppose I'd go with one of the samsung skinnies (not a samsung fan), but I'd have every expectation that htc would remember it's sleek design roots!

I bought this as a stop gap until more 4G phones came out..but I'm growing to like this phone a lot

I'm happy with my Incredible so far but my only issue is with battery life. Would like a Incredible 2 but it just doesn't feel like a big update. The only thing that would make me jump on the incredible 2 is if it had a dual core and maybe a better camera also. Will always love anything that is running ASOP android. Don't need sense or anything fancy like that. Hoping the Nexus Prime comes to verizon. Maybe?

I hope this comes true. I would pounce immediately.

I really hope that there is no 4.65 inch screen. Give me 4 inches. Thats all we really need.

[Q] New phone or continue with my Desire?

I love my HTC Desire more than any phone I have ever had. I baught it the day it came out, and I have not had any trouble with it ever since. I have used CM since 6.x version and I love the product. It has kept me up to date without having to upgrade my phone.
Now im testing out some of the ISC versions that works on my phone, still I feel that the hardware is now not enough for me, (including cam- quality, and especially internal memory and processor speed).
So I wonder what phone should I consider if I decide to buy a new phone? Or should I wait for something extraordinary to come on the market?

Wait for HTC Edge or Ville. I also came to conclusion that I want better GPU and better camera. For 2-year-old phone Desire is still unbelievable competitive.

Those two phones looks amazing, especially the Edge with the quad-core. Hope the camera could be a reasonably replacement for a digital camera. I havent seen many phones that can match the flash that regular digital cameras have.
I am more devoted to stay with HTC after I saw they have the HTCdev.com .
Was considering to look into some of the samsung- phones, but I feel its a bit more plastic than HTC.

I agree with mikbe on this one. My Desire is suprisingly competitive after almost two years. If I should buy a phone today, it would probably be the SII. But since my Desire is still alive and kicking, I'm gonna wait for the "next big thing", whatever (or whoever) that might be. I love my HTC, but I'm not married to them Maybe the SIII...?

After experimenting with launchers and AOSP I have always come back to Sense. That's why HTC is my next phone.

i got the galaxy nexus, but i still use the desire, its just more fun playing with different roms & mods

Same here, still enjoying my Desire as if I got it yesterday.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

if you buy today,then I would choose HTC Sensation
but it is reasonable to wait for HTC Edge
if you buy the Samsung I bought a samsung galaxy nexus

Just be a few weeks until the next set of HTC phones will be released at MWC. I would wait until after then - something might grab you, or if not, the current phones should come down in price. This is the worst time to buy just now!

after my htc desire I may switch to the htc sensation
though...i also like the size and look of it very much
having a tablet some of the 'new-power-devices' features are not required
i may even go back to a smaller phone next time...so having more a 'telephone' than a small supercomputer
I was htc fan for many years now..but also considering a samsung as my next android phone

I think I will wait for the next great HTC phone. Now that I have Sandvolds ICS I can float a bit longer. And now that I have an extra partition I can install lots of stuff. The ICS is a bit buggy, bit hopefully it will become complete. Sandvold is doing a great job. Recommend it for everyone !
