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.

    i recently got HTC DHD.. initially touch experience is great. After 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

    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...

                Regarding the battery, ( i guess u heard & not ur own experience ) it last for 2 days with normal use.

                after all DHD is away better than Galaxy S

                  I had to choose between Galaxy S and DHD...It was a very difficult decision......but I chose Galaxy S.....but that doesn't mean Desire HD is not good.

                  1. DHD has 8 MP cam but Galaxy's 5MP cam is equivalent to it even better in some daylight pics, DHD has flash but LED flash doesn't make much difference.

                  2. Galaxy has world's best 4" Super AMOLED screen(Scratch resistance Gorilla glass display) and full touch phones are all about navigating on screen like browsing internet, watching videos, watching pics you took or uploaded into your phone, playing graphics rich games etc all is pleasure on Galaxy's screen. DHD has 4.3" S-LCD which is good too but .3 inches doesn't make any difference as 4" is more then enough and S-LCD can't be compared to Super AMOLED.

                  3. HD video quality is far better in Galaxy S and has video out capability.

                  4. Galaxy S has front facing cam for video calling.

                  5. Better Audio quality.

                  6. Most importantly battery life.....DHD needs to be charged by evening after moderate use but Galaxy S's battery works whole day even more.

                  I compromised on build quality and LED flash because that is not much important for me then the other things specially Display and battery backup.

There is this wonderful thing called Google or even the website you posted this question on which has all the info about the phone. You just made yourself look the dumbest sales person ever!! Don't by a used car from this guy or even a phone for that matter.

                                    Battery does not last the day before running into the last %'s.
                                    Wonder if I must call the shop to complain...
                                    The rest of the phone is great (imho :-)

                                        Bought it. Hate it. It's reception is terrible compared to even my aging Noia E72! As a result I'm selling this fancy paper weight and buying Nexus S instead.
                                        Here's hoping...
