Motorola Defy vs HTC Desire HD

---

I know it's a bit strange question but I have no idea which phone to buy - Motorola Defy or DHD It seems that defy has even better processor than DHD or equal. And the price differs so much!

I don't really need that anti-water protection and so on, but after reading some reviews, it seems like Defy is just a great great phone for its price! Is it comfortable to hold in hand? Could you please say some words about it, I will really appreciate it

The two are very good phones... desire HD has 4,3" screen amoled, 8mpx camera, and it has froyo, and in the future 2.3 It has too 768 MB RAM and his processor is better than the defy´s that is secure...
Desire HD is more powerfull... if you like this, and its not important for you that it is a little big... this is your phone.
Defy is very cheaper, and is very more resistance.

its a bit like compairing a BMW with a Ford. They both do the exact same thing... get you from A to B. The Beemer just does it with a bit more panache. You need to decide if you can justify the extra cost.

The Desire HD is a premium phone with a bigger and better screen, better CPU, more RAM, better OS.... etc etc.

The Defy is very good value for money but it has cloth seats, not leather. It is a very good phone in my opinion and offers a better bang for your buck. It will do everything (almost) that the Desire does, the Desire HD does it just a little better.

as i will be replacing my touch hd (blackstone) within the next month i´m also considering both the dhd and the defy.
the only plus for the defy is it´s outdoor use: long-living batteries and water-resistantance. as i expect to undergo longer hiking trips next summer a dhd which lasts bearly a day without recharging is a bit of a plotstopper.
but it is just nicer and .. bigger. i love the display, here web browsing is fun!
so i still have a tough choice to make ..

I had the dhd and although its nice the speaker is awful. You can't hear the ring when its in your pocket. This for a premium media device is very sad. The sound quality is very tinny. Speaker is very important to me.

The defy is also ready for dropping or a bit of rain. I got bored of treating phones with such care.

I prefer vibro mode, so I don't care about how loud is the speaker
Could you please compare some staff like sound quality with headphones, overall performance, GPS, camera, and so on?

as it's pretty relevant to this topic and only slightly a thread ninja.
how does the defy hold up against just the normal desire? the defy actually appears to preform better(with launcher pro) so really what the desire has on it is better firmware support (being already 2.2) and not having this speaker problem

so really the defy for me is $11 dollars cheaper per month then the desire or the same price as the wildfire... what would you pick?

Yeah, yeah etc., etc... Well I have this BMW and I love the idea that I can chuck my Defy in my sleeve pocket etc. no matter the weather. I'm thinking of making a holster for it on my snowboard.

nice moto nice defy

So camera, screen, sound via headphones, camera are better on dhd. More likely to get gingerbread quicker. Dhd has faster processor. Dhd has sense. 4.3 screen.
Costs more.

Defy has better speaker, ruggedised.

GPS same.


Its a question of what you need or want not which is better.

Defy is a great mid range phone
Dhd is a great top end phone with a very poor speaker.
