Truly a beautiful phone, let down by an under powered battery. From fully charged, in a 5 minute car journey, the battery life fell to 95%, with everything off (Bluetooth, WiFi, gps and unneeded apps).
By the time I had finished work, after less than 15 minutes use, just browsing the news, and no calls or texts, the battery was flat.
Shame, I could get used to this phone. But if the battery cannot make one day when new, what is it going to be like after a year?
I just got the Desire HD yesterday from Vodafone Netherlands. I am extremely happy with it. My previous phone was the HTC HD2 and I have to say that visually speaking, there isn't much of a difference other than the fact that the Desire HD has touch sensitive buttons vs. the HD2's actual buttons. Additionally, the display seems to be a bit better. Where I do see the difference is in the speed. The Desire HD seems to exploit the Snapdragon to a greater extent than the HD2 did.
In short, it's a better, faster, stronger and better OS running HD2!
Does anyone here have any hints/tricks/suggestions they would like to share?
Thanks in advance.
The phones pretty good does what it should do and a lot more besides. Having a good laugh at the nerdy comments ref the benefits of the Nokia v the htc - sad bastards. It's only a phone!!!!!

Mobilemaster, 18 Nov 2010Yes, in my opinion HTC make the best Android smart phones in the world.That your opinion and i respect it but it was sony ericsson with x10. Anyway HTC is really good but in in 2009 Moto have the best android the droid, in 2010 droid x is the best not in my point of vue but in real. Let see which phones will perform better between HTC and Moto in q4 2010 and q1 2011.

Matt, 17 Nov 2010No lagging whatso-ever on my DHD and I've got quite some apps installed (please don't make me ... moreSo I guess that's the common fix cause that's exactly what I read else where. Would be annoying spending so much and having that problem. On a separate issue do you or anyone here know how to get into the settings for the phone's band frequencies? I could do it on my omnia hd so that I could switch up the bands. Also if anyone knows how to open up that menu could the person take note of all avail bands? letme know particularly if the hauspd bands include 1700 cause I would like the 4g to work in the U.S. thx

Kids don't need a smart phone, they need a Java phone, this is my opinion. They don't really need touch screen phones, or they don't need phones with big screen.
customers in Germany are still waiting to have their HTC Desire HD delivered. The phone is completely sold out (first week. From Amazon to any other major retailer, the phone is simply not available for delivery... one more week and I will cancel my order and get a samsung galaxy S.... at least i can save over 100 euros here!
