I hate to muddy the waters, but I'm being tempted by the HD7 Windows phone, also due next week.

I have considered this too. Always open to the alternate option.

WP7 doesn't interest me the interface looks cluttered and busy.

Each to their own I guess :)

Well the Android App Market is still playing catch-up with the Apple App Store so imagine how far behind WP7 is gonna be with apps.

That's the main thing that puts me off it anyway.

True, but take into consideration the market in 12 months time will be saturated with Android tablets and handsets in which I feel then Apple will be playing catch up to Android.

Hey guys, sorry for asking here but How Can I follow Hong Kong release dates of DHD?
Click to expand...

It's hard to get release info for Hong Kong and most Asian places. If you find any info, I'll stick it to the post :).

Very true. And it doesn't have multi-tasking.

Theres a review HERE of the OS itself.

Give it 18 months and then look at it :).

I found this article, saying that a source from HTC denies any delay; it's all rumours. But it also says that an official release date is not determined.

HTC: no delays to Desire HD and Z - Telegraph

In the article above, was the thing I wanted to read, I hope it's true because Asian peope stick to their words and this is really important for them which I hope for a luck for us.

HTC said that it had only ever said that the phone would be delivered

HTC may be saying that they haven't broken their promises to the consumer, that much is true but there has been a delay.

Someone told all of the retailers it was going to be available the end of last week and then changed their mind at the last minute. That can only have been HTC.

Its one trade off against them all, everyone has a different side, different theory.

Lets all just be happy for when it gets released :)
 
Updated post for information on Three UK carrying..Only found that I was looking into a Windows Mobile 7 Phone *shhhhh don't tell anyone ;)*

FURTHER EDIT

Updated again to show India price for Desire HD
 
OK I'm on the verge of cancelling my DHD order now. I'm being tempted by WP7 with every new bit of info I read about it. It DOES technically do multi-tasking too in that you can "pin" the apps you use more often onto your home screen and they become active thumbnails in effect so the app is constantly running right there on your home screen.

Only problem is that if I DO get one, I'll then have to buy CoPilot again (when available for the OS) and that'll mean I then have it for all 3 of the main phone OS'........lol

I just don't see what the DHD will really offer me over my current HTC Desire.

Am I wrong? Do I just want the new tech? Probably........:confused:

You may be interested in this article, where they compare OSs.

And which has convinced me to stick with Android.
Click to expand...

Been searching for comparisons like that all over the web but none, including that one, are really very definitive.

I think I'll leave my order as-is and see if I can find a WP7 handset to play with. It seems I've got plenty of time........:rolleyes:
 
A good sign:
HTC Desire HD - Compare Prices - PriceRunner United Kingdom

This link to Pricerunner.co.uk says that the HTC Desire HD is IN STOCK at Amazon.co.uk. At Amazon, however, it still says "November 15"...

I have a contact here in Sweden who's been on the phone with HTC and got the information from them that the phone is available in Sweden October 18, and THAT IT IS ALREADY AVAILABLE IN THE UK.

Confused.

I guess the DHD will cost more than 28000 in India.. Currently the price of the Desire in the Indian markets is anywhere between 26000 and 27000.... The DHD must be more expensive than that...

As it is, looking at the previous trends HTC has been following... there is usually approximately a 6 month delay between the UK launch and the Indian launch... The prices might drop by then... Will update the price from the Indian grey market as soon as it is available there....
 
Just spoke to them as I am patiently waiting to upgrade to the HD, especially since I dropped my Galaxy 7500 into a sink and it stopped working. Using my old HTC Touch Diamond as a stop gap - Windows Mobile 6.1 sucks big time after using Android!

They don't have any record of this phone on their coming soon list and the guy suggested I just keep an eye on their website and call back when it is listed. He did note on my account that I had registered an interest in the handset but I doubt that will mean anything.

I heard that O2 won't stock it for business reasons (Sales and upgrades team has been briefed). I found that in the O2 forums.

My 2 pennies is they don't want it so they can try and push for the exclusivity on the new iphone maybe?
 
recently i am interested with this phone

If that turns out to be the case I will be moving provider quick smart!
 
Got an update from MPD saying that my phone was expected before the end of October, I ordered on the 8th.

As for the Windows Mobile 7 OS, I really can't see anything that appeals to me, Android (especially with HTC Sense) wins on every count for me personally.

I did have a Windows Mobile once, about 2006-07 ish. It was a Mio A701, bought mainly for it's built in GPS. Fairly decent OS for the time, better than Symbian at the time, certianly. Shame mobile data was bad value at the time, on O2 I worked out it would cost
