[Q] which phone to choose - Desire General

Hi,
I posted a poll here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822642
to have some advices from you
Could you help me to choose between the HTC Desire and HTC Wildfire?
I really don't know which noe to take.
Thanks ;-)

Are You serious man? I don't know any advantage of the wildfire over the Desire... the wildfires specs are all worse than the Desires ones

Even The htc hero is way more powerfull than the wildfire! Also it looks ****ty with the awful qvga resolution

Id rather have my old G1 that a Wildfire. Its a midget Nexus/Desire hybrid with a crap res and even worse specs.
But if you lile throwing your money at people in exchange for rubbish phones then go for it

Hello everybody.
I have to offer HTC wildfire S nu my little woman, in fact I found is very smartphone
fluid compared to my acer liquid A1.
but I have some questions:
My first: you it is possible to root the Wildfire S? if so how?
My second question: I have a wildfire worries the S is equipped Sense 2.1 when I go
custom skin and then there are two skins that I can apply but when I want to download
other by clicking on "more" that sends me this hub on HTC brand "can not
download the list of skins. "and though I tried again still the same as the rest of htc
hub works. Do you have a solution to this problem?
And my last question: given that the official skin does not work, I found on the XDA
skins for htc Sense 2.1 rom here: I arrive in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048894
installed but then I see no appication for by not even in the skin of
Custom, proved why?
I know it's been a lot of questions but being new to the world I struggle to htc

Thank you in advance for your answers.

I am recieving my wildfire s tomorrow, so I will be able to give you better answers tomorrow.
1. There is no root presently available, and unfortuntely with the HTC Sensation coming out soon with high end devices, I expect that they will focus on those phones and not the wildfire S. So I expect it will be months (if ever) before the wildfire s is rooted.
2. That sounds like a software error, maybe explain the error to HTC in an email and they can fix it for the next firmware.
3. Those skins look like they are for the desire hd, this has a bigger resolution than the wildfire s, so this is a reason why they might not work.

Some thoughts...

Hello folks, hope that everything's going great out there with your phones.
I have some thought's about the HTC Wildfire S..
Sadly, it seems that it's not going to get rooted in a while (unless you're a fool to buy the XTC clip), and even if you do that - WHERE ARE THE ROMS?! I can only see just one custom rom on this forum, and it's probably similar to the original, i suppose that's because there aren't even any screenshots of it!
Alpharev X was really a life saver, because they actually managed to overcome the ugly S-ON on the HTC Wildfire. But talk about getting disappointed when they wrote that some things didn't work out on the HTC Wildfire S. I think that someone from Alpharev X wrote;
"you're better off getting the desire S and/or up.
much better devices.
Wildfire S is just old **** in a new package."
WELL - WTF is Wildfire then?!
I actually read that 4 times just to make sure that it actually came from Alpharev x.. Thanks for that guys..
Sadly, i think that our WF S won't be S-OFF in a while, and if it does, people are going to forget it completely and custom roms won't exist for it.
Just read the Wildfire forum, people are launching new roms almost everyday!
Just my thoughts.
(btw don't complain on my English, you wouldn't write as well either if you talked 4 languages as i do)
You're right, Alpha guy with high level of culture and interpersonal skills ( maybe gay as for me...) told me the same on IRC, when I stupidly ask for marvel status ... Screw them.
Personally I'm waiting for HTC unlock, maybe near September we'll know something more ...
ROMs for Buzz are weird as for me, maybe 'cause I'm familliair with Cyanogenmod from previous device I can live without Sense at all.
Cheers

Im thankful that they worked on the Htc Wildfire, but it's REALLY a big shame writing that WF S is some old ****. Maybe i don't wan't to buy a f-ing Desire because it feels like carrying a eee pc in your pocket.
Let's hope that HTC will help us Have a nice day man!

[Q]HTC Desire or iPhone 3G?

Hey,
I have a iPhone 3G and a HTC Desire, but icant decide which one i should use iphone have better apps but android have live wallpaper
CAN YOU GUUS HELP ME???!!
Desire
Hy,
I chose HTC Desire because the android is more customizable, it has a better hardware and you can find almost all the apps what iphone have.
But this is my opinion, you chose what you want

Thank-you for reply
You asking in a HTC Desire forum if you should pick it... that's like asking in a mac forum if you should pick mac or windows.
Seriously, you should do some "objective" search and then decide.

I was actually going to say the same thing. Well Said.
Desire and 3G have same hardware more or less. Downside to Desire is internal storage. If your wanting to get a HTC Android phone, maybe the Desire S or Sensation. But do some research.
Punched in..
I prefer the desire, but I loath anything made by crapple.. Too restrictive.
Swyped from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App
Well i say you used both at same time since you have both of them.

This is not a good place to ask this question. Lots here are bias against Apple products. So they will say Desire just because they never gave the other a chance just because it has the Apple name.
I love both. It depends on what you are looking for. If you like entertainment, then you must choose iPhone. Android gaming is not even close to what is on iPhone. Want to do photo editing and blogging? My Inspire 4g is nowhere near as useful as my iPhone. But my inspire does have comparable general apps and a large screen. More customization. I still keep iPhone around because seriously ... Specialized apps like photo editing or even gaming on Android can't be compared to iPhone. IPhone shuts it down in that category every time.

About to upgrade from Desire to One X...

Seeing all the negative posts, am I making the right move? Is the Galaxy S3 really going to be that much better?
Would anyone recommend rooting the One X and using Cyanogen from the start?
I don't think that it will be much better than the One X.I've read enough forums and i saw that the SII had his share of problems when it was launched,so,i don't think that the SIII won't have any problems.
This phone does not have any issues, that stop it from working. I made the same move from desire to one x (my desire was on the verge of self destruct) and love it. I dont think the SIII will be necessarily any better, I have also found htc devices have a great bunch of devs working on them. Therefore those guys can fix most of any software issues

Yeah,most of them are software issues which can be fixed,if not by HTC by the awsome dev's that are here on XDA.
Well, I'm glad I made the switch to the HTC One X. It rules!

Lol this is wildfire thread so i say buy the wildfire or get out of here and go ask on wildfire s forum ONLY JOKING BUDDY.
obviously the wildfire s as it has a gpu which wildfire does not. The s has slight improvments over normal wildfire but ive had my willy nearly 2 years now and to be honest its an amazing little phone that just keeps surprising us all with its ability to keep up with current android development and here on wildfire xda forum you have an even more amazing community(not as good as it was :what: but still) so if you dont mind a little lack of specs from the s then get the wildfire as what it lacks from the s is made up with great development from all in xda.

When I first saw your comment on all caps, I read it as if you were screaming. It was funny.
OP, go for the S.
Our Wildfire is quite old, and besides the S doesn't have THAT much of a bed dev community

Do whatever you want. Hate it when users slag off their own phone. If its so bad and outdated then wtf are you still using one for then!! Sell it and get the other so called better phones in this price range. Ive got access to any phone i want but i am quite happy with my little willy and dont mind waiting for my contract to run its course. Im in no rush at all to swap, sell, exchange or disown this phone yet. Ive give my opinion on the question asked and have taken others opinions as a personal attack on willy lol so the guns are out and he's firing back. Willy will survive longer than its users. Respect what he has given you. Peace out and rant over. Loooooosers.

Oh yes i respect my wildfire. It is the best phone imo.
But what if I had bought it just for gaming?
If a guy comes who dont know what gpu **** is and buys a wildfire, he definately expects it to run 3D games
And then he would die in frustration!
This is the reason may be most of us dont recommend it.
P.s. I love my phone and won't ever give it away for any reason.

makes no difference.....but the truth is wildfire is a pretty weak phone....it has a ausum built quality....and i love it because it was my 1st android smartphone...
i personally wont let it go till it dies out.....peacE !!!
the main reason why i wont recommend it :
ldpi screen @ 240 x 320 pixels, 3.2 inches (~125 ppi pixel density)
no gpu.....no 3d games and no hardware acceleration
aging cpu....528 MHz ARMv6 (no flash support)
chipset .....Qualcomm MSM7225
but widfire has an ausum built quality and its 5mp af snapper is good...

Can't deny the part about the build quality. This has to be one of the most resilient phones I've ever owned.
Let's just say that the phone has had a "couple" of high-speed close encounters with the floor.
The back side paint is pretty chipped off,, but it's still running like it was on Day 1 (well. ..maybe better, because of custom ROMs )
