Hey guys check the review here:
HTC Desire HD - HardwareZone.com
Do you think we have exaggerated DHD so much?
HTC Desire HD - HardwareZone.com
It did really bother me that the battery performance really sucks and the review says that they are not impressed as much as they expected. They are saying not a big improvement compared to Desire except Htcsense or big screen.

It will not be perfect. The screen is not the best and it will not have great battery life.
No phones at the moment tick all of the boxes for me.
I would take a DHD over my Galaxy S any day.

just wait it out
your getting as bad as me lol..make your mind up lol
haha.
Really? How weird. I got mine from P4U instore on Saturday and its the copper one. :s
Yeah actually you are right, brought it outside and it does have that copper look to it, however on the contract paperwork in does say black?
See above - he confirmed it's not black.

It could be metalic red and P4U wouldn't know the difference!
That sounds quite nice
Actually, there is a red wildfire that's quite pretty. Also the new Aria clone in green is also nice.

I got a call from nice Manager called Andy at CPW in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire (in the UK) yesterday afternoon he got 2 delivered, Orange wouldn't let me upgrade(as they weren't doing upgrades yet!!) so I just got a new contract (I was out of contract anyways) waiting for the HD to arrive,
It's mega fast just getting used to it, it's a breeze to use and sat on the bus this morning with phone in my jeans pocket listening to music on last fm, (sound is good!) so no issues with size of the phone for me
Here's some pics I took this morning, at home before I left for work, apologies for the pics, it's only my little digital camera, Ignore the date as I don't know how to get rid of it or change it on my camera
I've blue toothed my contacts over last night, joined HTC sense, and just added apps, faffed around in general battery seems fine though the screen was live screen was using a wopping 77% of my usage. I'm not that bothered about a pretty screen, easy to access all the wifi network at work and home
I haven't had an android phone before but intuitively figured it out ( isn't that the fun of these phones)
it came with 8GB SD card
Very impressed so far

This is really concerning me!!
I have a SGS and i can just about cope with the battery life - the DHD looks considerably worse!!!
Why on earth they didn't put a better battery in.
I agree it's slightly worrying and HTC have possibly made a slight mistake here, but I'd happily go for worse battery life over my POS Galaxy S.
The GPS, lag and wifi are shockingly bad enough (the phone never should have made it through QA testing), but the way Samsung are handling it is even worse.
The latest is they've pulled the 2.2 update without telling anyone and that it will be reworked (considerably) and released some time in Nov/Dec.
Probably sensible as it didn't actually fix any of the serious issues but the fact Samsung haven't come clean is unforgivable.

I am disappointed with the SGS as it has the potential to be a great phone! Unfortunately Samsung have screwed it up and as you say the way they have handled it has been even worse! Ridiculous that you have to rely on a third party to write a fix to make the phone useable!
The only reason I initially went for the SGS over the Desire was the spec - HTC products are in a different league in terms of quality, and now the DHD is of similar spec, it is a no brainer! People did warn that they would never go with Samsung due to the post-sales support... unfortunately they were right.
