How about THIS!
http://www.htc.com/www/product.aspx?id=64790
The full specs and photos and info. ALL official on HTC's website!
I'm trying to decide whether to cancel my Diamond order or hope to get enough money from selling it to pay for the Touch HD. Because, I'm assuming it will come to Sprint like all the rest of HTCs flagship phones have. Prolly around March I am guessing.
PS. Mods we need a HTC Touch HD forum now please.
get the diamond. if you like the reviews for the hd, sell the diamond.
but.. i dont think youll be missing much sticking with the diamond tbh.
enjoy your new htc!
Only:
a 1 inch bigger screen at a higher res
a 3.5mm headphone jack (finally)
stereo speakers
thinner
double the rom
a microSD slot (wtf did they not have that on the Diamond?)
a way better camera
So what would I be missing by sticking with the HD?
hi
i really hope we can use the HD roms on the diamond, also i kinda hate htc now, for releasing so many nice phones, that i can only have one, and not all of them ; ;

Amen dude.
While I like the spec of the HD, I also like the compactness of Diamond which I am getting very used to now. So I think I will stay with Diamond for now.
Well reports are coming it that it maybe here as soon as November! see www.coolsmartphone.com for info.
I do hate HTC for doing this, I personally would of waited until the Touch HD was released, I love the Diamond, but id rather have the capacity to upgrade the memory, have the larger screen and better camera.
I always used to wait until my contract was up before going for a new phone, satisfying my desire for new phones by purchasing them off ebay. Now, thanks to HTC, im even considering buying the Touch HD sim free from Devicewire or Expansys. Thats me skint for christmas! hehe!
I've got to get this phone. I love my Diamond, but that thing is even more Diamond than the Diamond is.
actually i'm quite curious about the pricing of the device. althought it will be a lot heavier (146 grams compared to the 110 of the diamond), if all specs look well i just might be tempted to switch.
from the photos i like the touch hd more simply cause of the screen, although they've still kept it a basic 65k color with a higher resolution. my biggest question is whether it will still incorporate a mass storage device of it's own to which the micro sd card is added

No mass storage. Specs are already out. But Micro SDs are getting cheaper and cheaper....
I must have this. I guess the wife gets an early upgrade....she loves getting my old phones after I have tweaked them to the max..... thank goodness for that!
You can get an 8GB microSD for only ~$25. I posted a link in one of the forums. Or there are 16GB microSDs available for around ~$60-$70.
stock expected but no pricing yet? I smell BS......
Does anyone know if HD will use capacitive touch screen?

Also, here's the main discussion thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425031
I'm currently considering picking one up for about £120 on offer but I'm concerned over how good (or not) it is.
My current tablet is a Lenovo A2109 which is Tegra 3, 1GB and a 1280x800 TN display and I use it for web browsing, the odd comic/ebook, videos and emulators.
I would be interested in the Nook for CM support (something my Lenovo lacks).
I have the option of either giving this to my parents or keeping this and giving them my lenovo and either way they would only use it for basic web and video.
So what are your opinions on this tablet?
Thank you.
I got one a few days ago having had a Nexus 7 and Surface RT. Compared to those, it's VERY slow and laggy. A bit disappointing in that respect. But I bought it mainly for comics and videos and in that sense, it's better than both of those devices. I prefer the 8.9" screen for comics and the display is superb. Video playback was decent enough, although it stuttered a little playing a 720p video in MX Player.
Not sure about emulators but with it struggling to just run the OS smoothly, I'm not convinced on games/emulators. For £120, I feel it's been a good purchase personally.
By the way, I got mine from eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111223369872?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649), £115 for the 32GB and it actually was new with just the box opened. It still had the covers over the screen etc.
I never had problem nor with stock ROM, neither CM11. Heavy game like GTA San Andreas run without problem. Excellent for web browsing and stuff. You should buy it for this price.
Nor I. I kept stock and just rooted it and put Nova launcher on. It's one of the most stable devices I have owned. You probably won't notice a performance boost over your Tegra 3 device, but the screen is one of the best out there in my opinion. You can't find anything close for the price.
DagsJT- are you sure you aren't in power saver mode?
Sent from behind the wheel of my car at 95 mph.
Thanks, I'll probably pick one up (albeit from retail (sorry don't like open box)).
One other quick question though, I need to decide between the 16GB and 32GB model.
The price difference is £18 for me but that's also the price of a 32GB micro SD card or the difference between a 32GB and 64GB card.
Since I'll be rooting and dealing with roms are there any real downsides to getting the larger internal model e.g. data loss on the internal storage? or downsides to getting a 64GB SDXC card?
Also, is there an alternative way to stream to a TV without buying the HDMI adapter?
One thing that does concern me with this is that there's no local distributor for the already (relatively) expensive HDMI adapter, what alternatives are there?
I heard CM was working on something but don't know what it's like or how it works.

There is an option to stream in CM11 but I assume you need the hardware on the TV side which I don't have. I use the HDMI adapter and it works great no issues with quality and I watch movies from it at least a couple of times a week. I do need to take it out of the case I have as the case prevents connection but that is not the devices issue.
Thank you.
edit:
Just a quick update, I purchased the 32GB model and I'm currently making the stock backup using CWM.
I would like to buy this phone for my dad. My dad has 2 SIM cards (private and work) so this dual sim phone could be useful to him, but I am a bit worried after reading about the Memory management problem when the phone shuts down apps by itself.
Should I avoid this phone?
Well i'm a moto G 2014 user since the first day and i don't have any problems with memory.
i'm pretty sure that's a good phone for your father i recommend it.
have a nice Christmas.
Small apps like facebook and the browser are great for multitasking too. But for example games the moto g kinda struggles like every other smartphone. Even the galaxy s5 doesn't have a great multitasking system. I own this phone for 3 weeks now and i didn't see any apps force closing while i was heavily multitasking. So for the price and the quality definitly not avoid this phone And also the battery is great! And if you are interested in software. The european model wich i have does still has 4.4.4 kitkat wich is a great operating system. I hope they will update the planned lollipop for EU models asap.
I have the XT1063 (single SIM Global model). I've owned it for about two months and have been very happy. I upgraded to Lollipop last week and I could not be more pleased. I haven't ever seen any issues with memory but I don't use my phone for heavy gaming as many do. I do play Hay Day on it when I am away from home, but for the most part it is a phone and that is how I use it, for phone calls and texting.
I think most of the complaints about it tie into the fact that people expect it to perform like a high end tablet and are disappointed when it doesn't. But as pointed out above, it is the same no matter what model phone you have. I have friends and relatives who own the iPhone 6 Pus and they complain about that as well.
I can't speak for the dual SIM version but for my part, bottom line, I don't think you can find a better phone for the price, period.
Well, my dad is definitely not a power user. He doesnt use Facebook or playing demanding games on the phone. I know some ppl dont have this memory problem but from what I read it does exist so I assume its not with every single model.

It's actually not even a problem with the phone, and it isn't present in android kitkat... it is a well known bug on devices that are running 5.0 and 5.0.1
only some users are suffering this issue but it is being worked on so i wouldn't even have that as a reason not to buy the phone. I've had the 1st and now the 2nd gen moto G and it is better than any mobile phone I've ever had. even beating my iPhone! GO FOR IT!!!
I´ve got the dual-sim version XT1068 for europe too and I can only follow my preposters,it´s a great phone,everything performs as it should. I don´t have memory issues,no problem for instance in using chrome while listening to music,opening Gmail etc. The only thing I realized is when taking a photo my musicapp (poweramp) stops. The dual-sim function is clever and easy to use. I´m still on Kitkat and the phone works fluid and fast,there´s no big difference between the so called flagships and the Moto G. Lollipop is still to come and I don´t think it will make anything worse.
You can´t get a better phone for the price imho.

Price shouldn't even be a factor. It's a great phone full stop... the fact it is so economical is just a bonus
I am trying to decide if I want to get in on the last week for Cricket with the htc 510 for free after rebate.
Reading up on this phone it looks like you do have root but the 64bit cpu is causing a hinderance with getting things like TWRP recovery and cyanogenmod.
It also doesn't appear to have little quality build things like gorilla glass.
Since the phone really isn't free, you have to pay for service for a month or two, I am wondering if anyone would hesitate to sink money into it again.
I don't see the benefit of 64bit on a phone and being the first means it also will be last to get software extras.
no, due to its complicated steps of hacking
- unlock bootloader (relock, and re-unlock (not available yet?)),
- TWRP recovery not assessable after relock bootloader (fastboot oem lock)
- cricket online would show device as "non-cricket device" and your phone's bootloader would say "TAMPERED" -> reduced resale value
- scarce ROM options compared to MOTO G
- ROM/radio/kernel options are mixed up for Sprint/Boost/Virgin/Cricket and no one knows for sure which works on which...
- digitizer seems not register touches properly. you need to touch lower part of what you wanted to touch (button, softkey) to get the phone respond
- digitizer seems sometimes less responsive to touches while other times too sensitive to a little moistures (like sweat from hands)
- its charging port on the right bottom side make it inconvenient to get docked in the phone holder in my car and be charged in the same time. (The stopper is usually on both sides of the phone, leaving the middle part open (where most phones having their charging ports))
i have mine in light use since 12/26 and i regretted my decision, I used MOTO G before but I dislike its round and curve back case and I wanted to experience stock Sense UI. So I took the chance experiencing it... but...
if you have a MOTO G in mint condition from cricket (LTE-support), I'd consider a trade with the extra $25 LOL
good luck

Well at the risk of turning this into a not-allowed phone vs phone thread, I'll just point out that while the quality of the Moto G is undeniable and worth the $25 extra, the problem is the model Cricket uses for their Moto G is locked down hard with no available bootloader unlock and no root, so forget roms.
Only reason why I was considering the HTC 510
I also just learned the USA version of the 510 is the 32bit cpu model so that improves things as TWRP is available for that one (I think?) but the camera is not auto-focus and no flash.
If it was truly free-after-rebate I'd still get the 510 but since you have to pay at least two months of service it is really a $70+tax phone and I'm not paying that for no flash and no auto-focus.
I managed to get 2 of them free by upgrading from CDMA to their gsm network I gave them two ****ty blackberrys from like 1998 lol

Thanks for that comment, ck. I was gonna do some research on cricket moto g, but still finishing up with 510 for now.
I jumped on the cricket deal on black Friday and gave my son the phone for Xmas. It was his favorite gift by far. I couldn't use this as a daily driver but it is definitely worth two months of cricket. Cricket service has good coverage with 4g and late but I can't get speeds of more than 8 or 9. The phone is basically free and can handle any games apps I've thrown at it. Display could be better but no other complaints.

This phone sucks if you've ever used a high quality phone like any of the galaxy series, note series, HTC one, nexus, I'm saving for another quality phone. No memory here, camera is horrible. Phone lags, yes the digitizer is horrible. And, I love music and with headphones it sounds terrible to use, I just don't see myself ever going this route again.
And I'm rooted running custom ROMs which is improvement, but I don't see any ROM fixing the negative about this phone, just improving crap

When my CDMA Cricket-flashed Galaxy S2 finally died, I replaced it with the Cricket 510 and must admit I'm a little disappointed, although I wasn't expecting a world-class device at that price. Battery life and performance are better than I expected, but the grainy flashless camera, low storage space, and somewhat finicky digitizer leave much to be desired.
This is also my first experience with Sense and I'm not liking it too much, but there are replacement apps (launcher, messaging, keyboard, gallery, etc... ) that get the job done better. But as soon as the camera is fixed in cm11, I'm flashing it.
Would I buy another one? Probably not... I think I'd rather spend more for a better device. But if you're low on cash and need something quick and decent, this isn't a bad way to go at all.
Definitely not for the reasons already stated by everyone else. It is too much of a pain.
Unlike everyone else, I'd buy this phone again in a heartbeat. I got it for next to nothing and it works completely fine. Out of the box the lack of space on the internal storage is a little unnerving but it does have an external micro slot and now that it's rooted deleting the mass of bloatware installed by HTC gives up tons of space. I've flashed CM on mine now and it's even better and works beautifully especially considering it's a no-contract pay-to-go phone.
It amazes me that people want this phone to hit the ground running but NO PHONE DOES THAT save maybe the OnePlus One and the Yureka. We have a limited pool of devs on this phone and they have their own jobs outside of this forum and other phones that they work on. Stop being so self entitled and if you don't like the lack of development on the phone do something about it. The current devs we have already have a device tree up, ported the CM MSM8974 kernel, and a vendor repo (or you can use ./extract-files.sh and pull your own). It really doesn't take that much to get to learning on how to build CM and although deving is a little more, if you don't like it learn it. The phones not been out that long people, like less than five months.
For all it's worth, the phone works perfectly and has better specs than most of the other pay-to-go phones. Like I said, storage out of the box is lacking but there are given alternatives and if you don't like them then root the phone and remove the mass of bloatware. The touchscreen works fine for me 95% of the time. There are some times where the touchscreen gets a little crazy but it's once in a blue moon. The only real downside is the speakers and one of the devs here in the forums found a mod and if I remember correctly ported it to the 510 to work better. Yeah the camera issue on the current CM build is a little annoying but that part comes with flashing ROMs especially ROMs that aren't supported by CM themselves.
The device worked perfectly for me out of the box and the device continues to work like a beast for me with the current CM build from @rbheromax, @kalisto2002, and @shinru2004.
Like I said, I'd buy the phone again if I needed to because it was next to nothing.
That's my two cents.
I got mine free and regret every penny I didn't spend on something with more internal storage.
Thing is that is my only gripe with the phone, the lack of internal storage space. SD card can't help you if you can't even use the device because it's out of memory.
I've moved almost every app I have to SD card, still no use, and I only have a handful installed whereas on any other device I had about 5 times as many apps.
Would it really have killed them to put 8GB in this thing?
So, no I wouldn't choose this device again.
NEVER!
Nope. NEVER AGAIN!! A smartphone with no storage = basically a flip phone with a color screen. Waste of my money and time and the BIGGEST rip off ever!

I agree, unfortunately im stuck with it. It was my one shot at a phone and it looked awesome though I do work with tech a lot I do not mess with phones at all. So I got this and am currently desperate for a rom that can trim up this memory the on board storage gives you about 300MB after fresh install and updates. This is useless even with 30gb flash card. I have managed to unlock and root it just fine but mine is HTC 510 boost so not I am hoping they make a rom for this that works on my phone until then I am removing as much as I can but these apps do not do much to free up space. if anyone has any info I could use some As I said phones are not my thing.
I agree with dipspit.
Initially I was dismayed over the lack of space on this phone, however I purchased it at a good price and it was a definite upgrade (spec wise) compared to my old device. In all honesty even without the support this device has received from a few members here I still would purchase this again.
It's just an added benefit to have some wonderful members here who are doing all they can to make this phone awesome.
I was considering to buy this phone to my wife instead of her Desire HD. And the best thing about it was a 4G in it, but after reading all your posts I think I will go find something else. One more thing was stopping me from really buying it - 1G of RAM. I don't think it's really enough this days.
The 1GB ram is not a problem. I've since switched to a Moto G 2nd Gen. and with 1GB ram it runs smooth. I love the new Moto G and it's quite affordable, I recommend it.
The storage is the main issue on the Desire 510.
Never!
Its very sh!t phone,slow,very sh!t screen,etc...
My Xperia SP with 2 cores much better and faster
Just bought it as a temp phone till I figure out what phone to get. Besides the crappy screen and camera. It's fairly smooth for a midgrade phone.
Hmm...well I did get this phone for free. Although it does perform much better than my old phone the HTC One SV, the camera isn't as good as the SV (which I really miss). I'm used to phones not having very much development. My first smartphone was a Samsung Admire, then an LG Optimus C. Then the SV and now this. They didn't have much developing, but it was never disappointing. If I could get this phone for free I would. But if I had a chance to buy another phone and had the money, I definitely would. This gave me a taste of Sense 6 and the performance of HTC phones. I've never had it lag while casually using it. Although I do get some crashes, but that's what I get for messing with some of the system's files in order to perform much better.
Overall it's a good phone for performance and gave me a taste of Sense 6. The space isn't much of an issue for me. I've never ran out of memory space.
I love HTC phones and I would get it again if it was free again, but if I had money I would buy the M8 instead (or the upcoming M9)
If anyone was concerned about space, all they would have to do is buy a memory card.

Hello guys, I am going to buy a new phone and I want either lg g flex or lg g3. My questions or doubts are as follows
Is the 720p resolution noticeable in such a big screen? I think 1440p is a total overkill for such a small display
Are the colours better in LG G flex? How is battery duration?
Is LG G flex TOO big? Is it comfortable? would you buy it again?
Last but not least, What would you pick?
I have a flex. I like the size but the lg software is a little behind say htc's. For instance, if your out and about, talking on the phone and need to look something up on the internet real quick, unless your connected to wifi you cannot access the web. For some reason, the lg software doesn't allow you to use your lte whilst on a call. It's a little getting at times. The pictures it takes are lacking as well. There is no stabilizer on the camera so you have to hold it very still when taking pics otherwise it's blurry. With a phone this size it makes taking "one-handed" pics a little hard. I hope this helps a little. If there's anything else you wanna know just ask. Thanks
How sharp is the screen? can you tell that it is 720p?
You really can't tell it's 720p. Nice crisp and bright. Sharp

I agree and disagree. If it's your only phone and you have no reference you can't "really" tell. Hold it next to any 1080p screen, Note 3 for example and it becomes pretty apparent. That being said, I love the Flex.

That actually has nothing to do with the software what-so-ever. The problem you describe is a network band issue. CDMA is notorious for this limitation and several phones on the CDMA network got around it by adding a separate radio specifically for data paths. S3 and I think the S4 and the older WiMAX phones like the Evo and such, but once they went to the "Tri-band" or Spark which is how Sprint wants to spin it (G2, G3, Flex, HTC M8, S5, etc etc.) They ditched the ability to talk and surf at the same time.
This isn't an issue on AT&T or T-Mobile because they are on GSM which supports dual modes regardless of the phone.

Correctomundo. No GSM phone ever has issues doing both. This is not a "Flex" or even an "LG" issue. Gosh I don't miss VZW.

Many of your questions are really matters of opinion. If you think a super high res screen is overkill on a phone then why are you considering a G3?
- battery life on the flex is fantastic. Amongst the best I've ever used.
- colors...the G3 screen is better. It just is. Especially since you can adjust it in stock settings. Anyone saying otherwise is really just trying to justify their purchase. I'm not saying the Flex screen is bad, because it's not...it's just not better.
- is the flex too big? Only you can answer that. I dunno if you have Andre the Giant sized hands or hands the size of a lawn Gnome's. The Flex's size was fine for me but I have large hands. I use a Nexus 6 just fine when many think that is too big.
- should you get it? Honestly? If it comes down to cost and you can find one cheap enough the Flex is a great phone. I picked one up just the other day for under $200. But, price aside, I'd go with the G3. Replaceable battery, SD card support, better screen, better camera with OIS (optical image stabilization) and it's more future proof. Both phones are getting replaced but the G3's specs are closer to today's market. Good news is you can't go wrong with either.

If its in your price range, G Flex 2 would be an awesome middle ground.
1080p on a 5.5", SD810 makes it faster than G Flex even though higher resolution.
Havent seen any battery tests, but has to be better than G3, but maybe not as awesome as G Flex.
I've played around with the g3 for a little bit. It's a very nice device, and has a lot going for it. It's got a nice crisp screen, SD card support, removable battery, and a much better camera.
But, the g3 just does not perform well in regards to battery life. My flex can easily get me through the day with heavy usage. I'm talking Bluetooth media streaming, YouTube videos, a whole bunch of web browsing, some pictures, and your other daily stuff.
If you looking to buy out right the flex is not a bad choice, considering that you can find it for under 250 right now. But if you're looking for a little more support especially here on XDA, getting the g3 now or waiting for the GF2 are definitely not bad choices either.
And if you're into benchmark scores, I've got mine rooted with exposed and I'm easily pulling 42000 in antutu. That's easily on par with the g3 and the HTC One m8.
Thank you all for answering, you have cleared my doubts, I decided to go for the OnePlus One in the end

I was looking for a phone to upgrade to from my Nexus 4 for under $250 and this seems to be the best option. Thoughts? I'm on AT&T network so I was looking at D950 version.

I've played around with the g3 for a little bit. It's a very nice device, and has a lot going for it. It's got a nice crisp screen, SD card support, removable battery, and a much better camera.
But, the g3 just does not perform well in regards to battery life. My flex can easily get me through the day with heavy usage. I'm talking Bluetooth media streaming, YouTube videos, a whole bunch of web browsing, some pictures, and your other daily stuff.
If you looking to buy out right the flex is not a bad choice, considering that you can find it for under 250 right now. But if you're looking for a little more support especially here on XDA, getting the g3 now or waiting for the GF2 are definitely not bad choices either.
And if you're into benchmark scores, I've got mine rooted with exposed and I'm easily pulling 42000 in antutu. That's easily on par with the g3 and the HTC One m8.

What is the Antutu score with stock rom? What is "exposed"? Is it a custom rom?
My scores are on stock ROM D95020b, rooted, debloated, with xposed framework.
The only other ROM out there is an unfinished cm11... And I'm not touching it until sound and calls work, if it ever will.
