what did the desire HD bring over the original desire? more RAM, better design, bigger screen, aluminium body, DLNA, HSDPA 14.4 instead of 7.2, new website functionality to track your phone or manage online, 8MP camera instead of 5, inbuilt navigation and maps included, etc...”
More ram .... so a small baby step
Bigger screen ..... baby step ....
Better camera ..... baby step ....
Navigation and maps and tracking???? My desire had all those for free???
My point wasn't to diss the desire HD. Far from it. More to state that everyone's first smartphone is the big leap and anything from there is small steps.
I have a nexus. Whilst IMHO I wouldn't trade back down to a desire I'm also fully aware that the desire did pretty much the same stuff except lower Res and slower.
My original post was that new stuff is being produced. Not all will appeal to everyone but isn't that the great thing about choice?
Dhd screen is big enough for you. Fine. But its not for everyone.
I personally thing lte and nfc will be great once they take off but for this to happen interest has to start and phones have to start gaining these features.
Touch less control .... I don't mean capacative/resistive I mean genuinely touch less as sony as soon to trial .....
