HTC phone comparison

Probably a question asked a million times before, but the more I search the more I get myself confused!!

My contract is finally up, I'm on a Nokia 5800, and want to go to a HTC phone. There are about a zillion different HTC phones I'm being offered. How do I choose????

Do you want Window or Android?

Assuming Windows, its pretty much what your network has. If network is no issue, then an HD7 is bigger, a Mozart is smaller and an HD7 Pro has a slide out hardware keyboard.

Assuming Android, then I would say it comes down to which of these 2 things is most important to you - size and price.

Sensation - biggest (4.3") and most expensive
Incredible S - next size down (4"), and slightly cheaper
Desire S - next size down again (3.7"), and cheaper again
Wildfire S - smallest (3.2") and cheapest

The Sensation is most powerful, Wildfire the least and the other 2 in the middle.

Cheers. I was thinking Android, and as I don't particular like having a brick in my pocket I'm leaning towards the Desire S.

The desire s is, in my opinion, the most polished of the devices. It runs beautifully in a way the sensation somehow doesn't. The sensation has an updated version of the user interface which many people like, but I find clunky. That said, its due to be getting quite a big update very soon.

I think you will be happy with it. I use a Desire S for the same reason - the Sensation would be nice, but is just a tad too big for my liking.

I just clicked the compare phones between Sensation and Desire S on the carphonewarehouse website, and apart from the screen size, the Desire S looks better in most specifications than the Sensation anyway?

Anyway, cheers again, Desire S it is.

The Sensation is the best HTC phone around at the moment spec wise. The Desire S is a slight step down, but not by much - it "only" has a 1GHz processor [Sen. 1.2GHz DC], "only" 720p recording [Sen. 1080p] and "only" a 3.7" screen [Sen. 4.3"].

Or you could wait for the EVO to come out.

I "downsized" from an iPhone to an HTC Trophy and am loving it. It's a Windows 7 phone.
