so whats the verdict?

---

Been waiting for this phone since it was announced for my upgrade. T-Mobile UK shops should be getting it in either next week or week after. But having read through as much of this forum as i can stomach it seems there are so many unhappy people. Proximity sensor issues, lagging issues, battery issues, navigation issues etc....

So whats the verdict of you people that have one then? Are you glad youve got it? Are the issues really that widespread or is it isolated from the initial batch? I really dont want to dive in and get the phone all excitedly and then find these problems are major ones.

One thing you have to bear in mind with forums are that people tend to voice their opinion when they are unhappy. They are less likely to start threads stating how great the experience is going or about things they like!

Personally I can't find any real faults with the phone. There are little nags, such as the power button being hard to press but nothing that takes away from the overall experience. The battery life is poor over the first couple of days but it's looking like this resolves itself after the li-ion is conditioned.

Working for a major UK phone network, I get my hands on every handset going and nothing compares to the jaw dropping impact the 4.3" screen has! (Ok HD7 maybe, but WinPho7 is not quite ready yet, but will be great!) If you want the latest hardware and spend most of your time browsing or viewing media, the Desire HD is for you!

Regards.

I've had a hd2 for the last year so I'm used to the screen size the dhd is really nice I really like it I personally think to many people have commented to early with battery life mine seems fine and lasts the day with heavy use
My missus will tell you I don't put the thing down
I tried an iPhone 4 for a week and sent it back I preferred my hd2 although the iPhone was very smooth
The dhd is as smooth as the iPhone and the screen makes media and browsing so good, texting is also very good and I personally find the sound awesome through headphones well happy with mine as you might be able to tell
