Hey guys,
I'm sure you get asked this all the time on these forums and sorry if i'm raking over old ground but i'm new here.
As an A**le iPhone user i am now looking to move to android. I am frustrated with how locked out and feature bare the iPhone is and the keyboard just doesn't work for me as i have big hands lol. I love the keyboard on the Galaxy S and it's a HELL of a lot better than the iPhone. (My misses has a Galaxy S) and apart from gaming and browsing i mainly text al the time.
My question is should i go for the normal Desire (looking at a 5 month old one with an OLED screen, before they started using SLCD) or should i go the extra mile and go for the Desire HD?
Since an eBay item (regular Desire) fell thorugh i have been researching more and now i am really not sure whether to go for the HD or not. I love the size and look of the thing and i love the HTC sense interface.
But then the Desire (older models) does have the OLED screen and has a better battery life.
Now battery life isn't a major concern for me as i always charge my phone, whatever it is every night without fail so no worries there. And i think i'd like the larger screen for media, games, browsing etc as i'd mainly be using it for that and texting (also a plus having a bigger screen for that too).
So i suppose everything points to the HD but i have heard a few things on trusted review sites i use often (tech radar, pocket lint) that always place the HD lower than the normal Desire, points wise etc (but never by much).
I suppose i'm posting here because you guys have the luxury of using the HD or Desire day in day out and i just wanted to know the deal. Is it worth the extra for the HD? Do you notice the screen difference? Does it stand up to the galaxy S? (My misses has a galaxy S and i have to say it's awesome and the screen is a beauty but i don't think it's quite optimised and as smooth as the HTC models).
If anyone could shed anymore light on my situation i would be grateful. Until then i have to put up with my misses flashing her Galaxy S in my face every chance she gets lol. (Although that is the phone that made me fall in love with Andriod, so
).
Many thanks in advance.
Paul.
