HTC Desire HD - user opinions and reviews

It's 2013 now, and this phone shows it's age. Overall, the experience I've had with this phone can only be described as rotten, with me silently cursing HTC's "Quietly Brilliant" slogan as I repeatedly need to restart this phone because of lock ups, horrible lag, and the poor battery life.
Unless you're going to be using this phone for the very minimal apps, such as SMS, Twitter, Email, and the phone, I recommend staying away from this phone, you're only going to regret it a month down the line after you've finished convensing yourself that it was worth it because you don't want your money to feel wasted. But even if that's all you're gonna do, there's better phones for lower prices.
Overall the phone has been really slow, occasionally locks up completely requiring the poor battery to be removed in order to turn the phone off. Apps crash all the time and android gingerbread is awful to say the least - and lots of apps are dropping support for it now.
The real kicker for this phone for me was when it started calling people - like my boss - on my phonebook in the middle of the night because when I had earbuds plugged in, it would occasionally get signals that were interpreted as voice commands.
TL;DR Just don't buy this phone, seriously. It's slow, tedious, has an awful battery, and it phones random people by itself.

I've been using this phone since 2011. After 2 years, the phone becomes slow and always loading, especially when the Wifi is on. Camera is not bad, I am satisfied with the quality. Sound is also okay, because I use the Dolby option. Battery, as you can see in the specifications, it is quite small in capacity, so after 5-6 hours of using the Wifi, I need to recharge the battery. So far, until now I don't have any big problems with the phone. It depends on how you take care of your gadget.

I stopped using this phone yesterday after using it for past 3 years. At the time of lunch it was a great machine for what it was. But battery life sucked.it was not useful for me as most of the time device never had charge, but rather i was forced to use it as i have spend a lot on the phone on buying.
I would not recommend you to buy this phone.
4/10.
