HTC Desire HD Review

PhoneArena reviews the HTC Desire HD. Now that the T-Mobile G2 (HTC Desire Z in Europe) has just received an awesome thumbs up here on phoneArena, it's time to see if its multimedia-centric sibling, the HTC Desire HD manages to enamour us with its huge 4.3-inch screen, cutting edge processor, 8MP camera and brand spanking new version of HTC Sense sprinkled generously over the already popular Froyo...

This was my first Android phone, I loved it so much! Eventually, I may try to find a good used one for nostalgia sake.

Having owned this for a month now, I think this is the best review out there.
Very much my thoughts, average battery that needs to be monitored, besides that nothing else, lag can be eliminated by the usb debugging fix.

It’s so surreal listening to him list all these “great” specs that aren’t so great anymore in 2022 lol… this is how people in 2010 felt when they heard specs from a 1997 Dell PC!

Bought that phone since 2011, still in service today

My second android, coming from the HTC G1 blew my away back then really helped me in my previous job got through loads of movies on it, now got the note 8.

finally a good review with the usage. How the phone works, the music player etc.

I just preordered a HTC one because this monster of a phone was getting too old. Still absolutely loved it!

[pawelgedyk]

I’m confused, did he say that the colours are not as vibrant as in amoled screens…? In 2010 ?So when were they first released and used for phones?

[invaderhim]

I have this phone and it is absolutly amazing. It's also my first HTC phone and think I'll be sticking with them.

Good review, You tell a clean and clear language! It's good for those who are poorly understood English!

[algirdas]

I made a really good decision when I bought an HTC. The phone is awesome! I'm never gonna buy a different phone. HTC For Life ;D

[kabosumamadoge]

I miss those times when HTC actually made exciting phones with very good and eye candy ui.

[Zayd]

what format is the movie you were playing. And I was wondering can I put a movie that I made on windows movie maker and published it onto the htc desire hd

[austintheng]

@wafcarl complaining about the pocket thingy and screen resolution..why not go with the HTC Desire? it's size is almost the same as iPhone 4 and the contrast of the screen resulotion is quite vibrance and attractive than Desire HD..

[pbassred]

It can't select music by the folders I used to load it on, so I have to make playlist all over again, which is painfully slow.

You CAN NOT make a voice dial call from a blue tooth device. It does not have the bluetooth functionality to "listen" to the head set.
This isn't mentioned here. Does NO0)NE need hands free?

[algirdas]

I've had my Desire HD for almost 2 years now and I just found out about the Desk Clock... It's really useful! :D

[XsBlack]

What is the battery life like? how long do you reckon it will last on fair usage?

[GLyates]

Wafcarl this is partly why the iPhone 4 has out sold the desire HD is because there's more try out. I recently had a go on this phone and thought is was great. Both phones have there advantages and disadvantages. In the end I think both are great phones!!!!
