Nokia have really shot themselves in the foot. This stunt has had nothing but bad press.

No hdmi? Not the upgrade I was hoping. I was expecting them to leapfrog the iPhone 4 In terms of specs.....

That's a bit disappointing - I thought the Desire HD was going to be an upgrade over the Evo's specs. It does have an extra 256MB RAM but other than that it's essentially the same as the Evo.

Actually I take that back. It has an updated version of the Snapdragon 1GHz processor+GPU, the second generation MSM8255 (compared to the 65nm first gen processors in the Evo and original Desire) so should actually be significantly more powerful and power-efficient, especially with its 50% greater RAM. Demo of the new processor's performance here:

must admit i went with the desire over the galaxy as i preferred its size

Size is the last thing I'm concerned about. This is the man who used to own an E90.

if you think that is big then have a look at this video and have a laugh at the size and that chap pulling it (the samsung galaxy s tab) out of his jacket and using it as a phone!!!! other than that i like the specs of the device but better android devices are being launched every few weeks now

That is quiet bad from Nokia- laughable really given that they've had the wheels fall off really.

sounds good im in two minds about getting a desire anyway

should i wait now till the hd is out so prices might come down on the original?

T-Mobile have announced that a free Desire HD will cost £40pm on a 2-year contract. They won't even say how many minutes or texts that will give but, being an Android, it should be 3gb of data, I suppose.
