[Q] Which phone: HTC HD7 or LG Optimus 7

---

Ok, I'm really considering converting my HD2 to a full-time Android phone and getting a WP7. After some use, I will be able to decide which route to go

However, for the WP7 device, the Optimus is my prime candidate due to the larger memory, but - will it be as easy to upgrade and flash, should that be an issue? Anyone got any views on that?

And please keep this thread clean - I'm simply not interested in rumors or how people think they look. I'm interested in facts

I would go for the optimus
In Italy there isn't hd7 and the optimus is cheaper(at least in italy)

I would say; go with the HD7. Its 4.3 inch display makes using the WP7 OS much easier. Typing on the on-screen keyboard and also browsing the web with IE is really easy with such a big display. You could always extend the memory by replacing the SD card if its really necessary. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=121
Replacing memory will require a hard-reset.

Off-course, the big plus the optimus has is DLNA support. Which the HD7 doesn't.

I don't think we'll see any custom-roms and/or flashing in the near future, mostly because WP7 isn't a OS that needs any tweaking. It works well and Microsoft says it's committed to listen to customers and releasing periodic updates. If you really want to be tweaking your phone; don't get a WP7 device and stick with Android, as Microsoft has gone through a great deal making sure it doesn't get hacked. Updates, however, will be sent from Microsoft directly for all devices. So HD7 or Optimus makes no difference there.

Thanks for the replies! My WP7 phone is just to gauge if I really want WP7 or not...the HD2 will be running Gingerbread as soon as a good release comes out

Is there a list of recommended SD-cards for the replacement?

The phone comes with a Sandisk microSDHC class 4 card, so it's best to replace it with a same card. Though on the forum people are recommending both Kingston and Sandisk class 4 cards up to 32gb.

This thread is all about the storage cards with the HD7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807900

Hello bambinos fellow friends.

If i was you and you helped me.

Which phone would i go for and the reason why:

HTC HD7

or

LG OPTIMUS 2X ?

I tell you what i want a phone to do for me, I want a phone that contains lots of (social chat apps) (lots of interesting and intertainment and productivity and lifestyle apps) I dont make much calls but i do make lots of (texting sms to friends)

pretty much i would use a phone that lets me stay intertainment of everything has to offer for the (apps store) and for (text sms to friends)

NEGATIVE SIDES: i dont like facebook i dont like twitter and defently i dont like sharing my personal photos to people around the world. I dont like games and just games...

However i do like to play (some games for apps) but not allways dedicated to apps as i preffered more the social ladies chat apps around the clobe that has people there using it.


So Which phone would i choose if i was to get one lets say in NOVEMBER 2011
Remember HTC HD7 is windows phone 7
And LG OPTIMUS 2X is (android)

Remember HTC HD7 has a new update for MANGOS soon in SEPTEMBER. (but that wont change any differents to what i will like in the apps store) considering android has the social chat apps i enjoy the most and infact wp7 dont have any social chats that i normaly use....

But mangos wont bring lots of social app chats just like what android has to offer.
'

However i dont like just games on the phone... and i dont just browse the internet websites with a tiny phone. I use it more for downloading fun and intertainment and productivity and social apps and lots of allways SMS texting.

But which one would be much better and the reason WHY if i was to (EXAMPLE) choose any one of them in NOVEMBER 2011

I allready own HTC HD7 but this is just an example between 2 phones.
My htc hd7 is 99% boring because the apps they have doesnt interest me. But which phone would u recommend and why if i was to get one example lets say NOVEMBER 2011 ?


best regards

Please keep it to the topic because the moderator preciates everone staying on the topic to that headlines. Thank you

@tiwas keep in mind that replacing the internal SD card will break your waranty. So be carefull

Furthermore...I would choose the HTC over the LG also (especially if you don't care for DLNA). You could also consider the HTC HD7S which features the SuperLCD screen which is a improvement over the "old" LCD screen of the HD7 (in terms of contrast etc.).

EDIT: Wow...i just noticed tiwas his post is already 6 months old :S Only sandrax2020 replied just now :S Sowwy!
