rottenmonkey   10 #14 Posted February 28, 2011 and you can put more memory in it.  Yes most android handsets have expandable mem. Iphones are either 8 16 or 32. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

anywebsite   10 #22 Posted February 28, 2011 Swarfendor, hate to break it to you, but almost every phone & piece of electronics is manufactured in China & Taiwan. If we didn't buy them, they'd be in even worse jobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
terrorfirma   10 #23 Posted February 28, 2011 the original desire is better than the hd, the hd is just big & clumsy. it's the same resolution screen, just bigger, only real difference is that bigger screen.  Not strictly true. The Desire HD has 768MB RAM, Desire 576MB and the HD has faster 3G internet. It also is wifi 'n' capable but it also ships with a lower capacity battery  I recently got a decent deal on the Desire HD with Voda and have been really happy with it. The battery life is a real pain in the a**e though, but after downloading a power management app and tweaking a few settings, I've managed to improve it.

That is until you root it. Then the balance shifts im affraid. As the desire has been available well before the hd there has been far more progression on android development than the hd. Dont get me wrong im not slating the hd at all it is a cracking handset. If rooting aint your thing then yes your right but if like me getting the best out of the handset the desire wins for me.  Also another cheaper alternative to the desire hd. Htc hd2. Far more powerful when played with Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
