            Got the Desire HD on 22nd December, returned it on the 23rd !!!!!!!!!!
            Waste of time, couldn't clearly hear ringtones when in a pocket. In call volume was way to quiet. Can only connect Bluetooth to a Headset or Car Kit.

            Changed to a Samsung Galaxy S....... Miles better.

                            Wawoooo... thanks a lot......... as per ur advice i restarted the phone and it works fast now.

                            for now i have chosen 'restart' option in the menu appeared after pressing 5 seconds the power button.

                            just have one doubt.... restarting the phone is same as 'turn off' and 'turn on' ???

                            becos i did it many times before but it was same.. but now just selected restart...its fast as beofre.... whats the difference...

                                Sasikumar, 25 Jan 2011i recently got HTC DHD.. initially touch experience is grea... moreIt does have the option for a normal alphanumeric keyboard if you'd just look for it.
                                It sounds like you're also not saving things to an SD card which you should be doing.
                                And also, when looking for just contacts, go into the "People" app, not the phone icon at the bottom of the home screen (it's more or less your call log).
                                If you don't like the battery life then adjust some settings (screen brightness, mobile data always on, etc.), or you could buy a bigger battery, you can get one online for like £16.

                                Hope that helps.

                                    Sasikumar, 25 Jan 2011i recently got HTC DHD.. initially touch experience is grea... moreAfter copying some vidoes and photos, its too slow... i just copied 100mb files. i dont know whats the problem. Cann't imagine what will happen if use more memory. Very very slow. e

                                    - experienced it before, you need to properly stop the USB connection in your PC. To fix this, try restrating the phone. (press and hold the power button for 5sec and select restart).

                                    i really dont liked the way they designed showing call history along with actual phone book contacts when we press 'phone book' icon

                                    - when using the phone, instead of searching your phonebook, try typing the name of your contact using the numeric pad (example: AMY = press 2 then 6 then 9)

                                    . i charged 8 to 10 hrs but not giving me 5 to 6 hrs for normal use... i really hate it...

                                    - the battery life depends on how you use the phone, if the phone's wifi and mobile network is always on, then you'll be draining the battery faster.

                                      Even home screen display also dead slow when i press home screen button when i am in some application...and phone book also same problem.. i really dont liked the way they designed showing call history along with actual phone book contacts when we press 'phone book' icon.

                                      And the keyboad displayed for sms purpose is too bad...should have normal keyboad too like other mobiles...den only we can use single had to type letters.... full keyboard means we need to use both the hands to type... i was using Sony Vivaz pro which is 256mb RAM, but DHD is 786mb RAM which triple but slower than my vivaz displaying msgs and composing too....

                                      Then last but not least... battery life... having dolby and SRS, we surely used DHD to listern music even if we have ipor or other music players.... if we use dhd for music means then we must keep charger always with us.... very very bad battery life... i charged 8 to 10 hrs but not giving me 5 to 6 hrs for normal use... i really hate it...

                                      I am not blaming DHD or anyone... its my experience... dont know we need to do some settings to avoid all dese issues...
