[Confirm]Desire HD is not using Gorilla Glass

[Darkaz]

I send a email to ask htc. They inform me that Desire HD is not using Gorilla Glass.

Here is the letter.

Does everyone but me fail to realise that they would have advertised the fact, if the DHD was infact using gorilla glass?

i don't really get the big deal with gorilla glass, my cowon s9 has it and the screen still scratches, the S9 is so light tho that if you drop it the glass wont break anyway

also, why are people dropping their phones ?

but im weird id sell my phone the moment it gets a tiny scratch on it like i did with my legend

For the fun of it, you know, testing that it is drop proof. .

It's always good to know that if you accidently drop your phone, well them people thought it would happen and put a gorilla glass for you !

I've been using mine around 6 weeks without a shield and the screen is still in pristine condition, mind you I don't put it in my pocket with other stuff in there or anywhere it might get damaged.

Take care of it and it seems you won't get a mark on it.

Wise words MrGarak. My old Hero still looks close to brand-new, no added protection, 14 months on.

Then why corning is listing it in their website in the featured products section ??

Believe me, if you accidentally drop your phone, you'll know if the display has broken or not .

I've dropped once, it just slipped of my hand while rushing to work.... and landed HEAVILY on the sides... bouncing thrice before it stop (bounced on the sides). Luckily I had TPU case on it, life saver

Of course if you drop it on a rock with the glass on the bottom, I'm pretty sure that gorilla or jurassic glass might not help much

 

[reyaga7]

Good find and good news for us since apparently our phone is using a "better" type of glass for our screens. I'd still won't drop it though (just saying)

 

[letom]

You say that but on the companies that makes Gorilla glass it does say that the Desire HD has it. I took some keys to my desire HD and no scratches.

from my experience
HTC support staffs are not that knowledgeable about their product
they most rely on whatever they post on their own website

Yeah, I'm gonna go with this, more official than some rep who's most likely clueless. Still, not letting my keys near the screen! No way!

 

[ratykat]

Ive had mine for a few months and not one scratch,

untill yesterday, when it was in my pocket(on its own in a case, no screen protector though)...nice scratch across top which can be seen with the screen on, and can be felt quite obviously with a finger nail.

easy to say I was gutted. I've looked after this phone like it was a living breathing thing, never dropping it or anything, and then it scratches like that?

hohum.

 

[sromer]

I'd trust the creators of the Gorilla Glass over HTC support.

I've had mine since November and i don't have one scratch on the screen.

 

[kamranh3]

I've dropped my phone from insane heights, on my phone you can see metal grazed off and silver, but the glass looks brand new and not one single scratch!

 

[fenrhir]

Confirmed or not, DHD glass proved to be quite resistant.

Personaly, I've let my DHD with my glasses, my car keys, USB Flash keys, or just in my laptop case with plenty of cables, without getting *any* traces on it. This, without any protection...

 

[sromer]

Someone should really change the name of this thread
