While the Nokia World 2010 event is still mid-way, HTC tried to grab some air time by holding an event right smack in the same city (London) to announce the HTC Desire Z and Desire HD.
If you’ve been drooling for months about the HTC Evo 4G but disappointed that it’s not going to work here in the Philippines, then you’re gonna love to know that the HTC Desire HD will do just that (the GSM version of the Evo 4G).
HTC Desire HD
4.3-inch display @ 480 x 800 pixels
1GHz 8255 Snapdragon CPU
1.5 GB internal
768MB RAM
up to 32GB via microSD
HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, HSUPA 2 Mbps
WiFi 802.11n
Bluetooth
GPS w/ aGPS support
FR Radio tuner
8MP camera with dual LED Flash
720p video recording
Li-Ion 1230mAh battery
Android 2.2. Froyo
HTC Desire HD Price: 599 euros or Php34,500 (before taxes and tariffs).
I expect it to be a bit higher than the SRP of the HTC Desire when it first came out (Php34,900). My guess is that the Desire HD would be between Php35k to Php40k.
On the other hand, the Desire Z could be HTC’s counterpart for the popular Motorola Milestone with its 3.7″ screen and full qwerty slider keyboard (remember the Xperia X1?).
HTC Desire Z
3.7″ display screen @ 480 x 800 pixels
800MHz Qualcomm 7230 processor

HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, HSUPA 2 Mbps
WiFi 802.11n

HTC Desire Z Price: 549 euros or Php31,500 (before taxes and tariffs). Conservative estimate when it arrives in the Philippines will be around Php35k.
Will update the specs and prices once we get them. The handsets is expected to be released as early as October but my previous conversations with the local distributor tells me it’s gonna be near December for the Philippines.
will dis phone be release dis year, I really really really like this! ;-) anyone wid updates?
that was weird! tama ung query in the 1st time i checked on it; it was the htc desire hd —25k but then again, i doubted, so i texted them to confirm, no reply. a few minutes after, the site changed!–it was the htc desire they were referring to. so… FALSE alarm guys!!! hehehe
Sir Yuga, any update on the Desire HD? When will it come out in the country? I’m waiting for this to come out. Still can’t decide if I should wait for this or just settle with iPhone 4.
is there anyone can tell kung meron ng HTC Desire HD sa SM north? and magkano? :D
i love my iphone 3g phone then i have a new htc desire hd.parang naging wlang kwenta ang iphone ko..i super love the hd kaya lng ang bat 1 day lng talaga..
I was aiming for the MOTOROLA MILESTONE 2 then I saw this phone.
It is a good competition even though the HTC Desire Z falls 200MHz short compared to MOTOROLA MILESTONE 2 in terms of CPU speed.
BUT! I love the “Idea” of HTC sense wherein you can save your messages and contact online (www.htcsense.com), this will come handy if your phone got stolen or lost.
Do you guys have any info about the HTC GPS? Does it work in the Philippines?
Di ako makapili! Decided na sana sa desire pero after reading problems regarding its motherboard (shutting down issue), napunta attention ko dito. fixed naman na siguro mobo nito. problema ko lang talaga e di ata maganda tignan pag may tawag ka tapos etong dambuhalang hd nakasampa sa gilid ng mukha mo. hehe!
Any users here of desire and desire hd? pa-share naman..
meron akong iphone 4 ok naman siya sobrang enjoy ako sa retina display lalo sa gyro axis.. ito naman desire hd, alam ko may camera in front din to.. 3g po nagagamit dito sa pinas nuh.. ewan ko lang 4g.. tingin ko balance lang sila ng iphone 4 nagkatalo lang sa porma mas takaw pansin lang iphone 4 kaya mas muka kang sosi dito sa pinas.. kung maaga lang lumabas to malamang mas binili ko to kasi second choice ko lang iphone 4 ko.. ang range ng price nito is 34k to 37k depende kung tutubuan ka ng malaki ng bibilan mo pero 34k ang pinaka price nya pag tumaas tubo na ng nagbebenta yun.. by second week of november lalabas na to dito sa pinas kaya mga nag aabang diyan ipon ipon na ehehe..

check out the profile on the one who did the review: he’s under the cult of steve jobs. that wasn’t a review at all, all he did was to criticize 90% of the time. and most of his checklist are wrong: Wrong about the bezel on the front, wrong about the boot up time. wrong about the app mgr feature of android 2.2. maybe correct with the battery; but remember, its SLCD-designed to withstand longer use compared to retina or oled screens. Still..the HDHD is a phone to beat. Check profile of the reviewer: one of his hotest gadgets are APPLE products..hehe
Htc desire hd didn’t get such a good review from engadget. I think the t-mobile g2/htc desire z got higher scores. Some sellers at sulit are offering the t-mobile g2, cheapest I’ve seen so far is 31k and still negotiable. Leaning towards the latter but I’m gonna wait and check the prices of WP7 devices here before I jump the gun. So tempted to get the desire z!!!
DROOOOOOOOOOOOL. kkbli ko lng ng wildfire. tight budget kc. hhe. sarap nmn nyang hdhd. htc.desire.h.d. haaayyy.
inaantay ko din ilabas ang DHD dito sa taiwan.. second week ng November ata ang release.. SRP is about NT$21K, almost PHP30K..mas mura dito..hehehehehe
best phone ko ever! d kayo magsisisi pag binili nyo to pramis! walang sinabi iphone 4. i love the interface, design, large screen, color(although parang mas maganda tingin ko ung oled ng Old Desire ko). another thing guys, nacompare ko ung responsiveness ng multi touch. mas smooth and nag rerespond properly ung multitouch sa games. dahil ata sa improved touch sensor.
I would really love to have this phone. I wanted to buy this in the States thinking that it would be cheaper, pero I think the same lang din ang aabutin.. Bahala na! I know na dapat mapasaakin ang Desire HD bago magtapos ang taon! Kung sino man ang may exact price na, please update us naman para alam namin how much talaga cost.. :D
gusto ko nang HTC Desire HD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me naka try na ba? Ok ba? =D
