What's a worthy replacement?

andruoid · Jun 23, 2012

I made the move to an HTC One V. I like the size, very much like the Desire. Single core is fine by me, ICS and Sense 4.0 seem snappy too me. The screen is better than my better halfs S2X imho. Build quality is great and the battery seem to last 2-3 days.

Just returned my Desire to 2.3 stock to pass on to a work colleague. I was amazed at how small the screen felt

Well and truly the end of your Desire days then

Thanks for all your help over the last two years

Out of interest, what would one get for a Desire these days for trade ins or a reasonable price for a friend-exchange?

I'm on the opposite side, while I like 4+" screens (had an S2X for a time) for my use I prefer the 3.5 - 4" size. Same resolution on a smaller screen looks sharper anyway

Damn - maybe (feel sure you will be able to answer lol) you can answer my query my post re returning to 2.3!

Yeh got to agree, still need my deisre for a couple of days until my number transfers. It feels like a toy now compared to the SGS3.

The Huawei D Quad release is pushed back again.

Huawei Ascend D Quad delayed until August due to SoC issues

Glad i got the One X and not still waiting for this.
If its any good when its finally (if) released, may be tempted to sell and buy one outright.

Yeah I know. That is hugely dissapointing. I might have to consider SG3 now...

Youngster dropped my beloved Desire, need a replacement if any upgraders want to get rid. mp me

Been tempted to get a SGS3 and using my desire for work and put the SIM in the SGS3 when I get home.

Now seriously tempted just to get the Nexus 7 and keep my desire as just a phone. Looks pretty damn good and reckon it'll have a good following and dev support

plus the price is cracking.
