Kauban ang Desire Z, mapasalamaton ko nga nakakita ko sa laing engineering unit sa HTC Desire HD nga ilang gihuptan ug sama sa kanunay, nagkuha kami og mga litrato ug video aron ipaambit.

Ang Desire HD adunay kini nga talagsaong dako ug nindot nga touch display screen. Ang Super LCD wala nakapahugno ug wala gyud ko makit-an ang kalainan tali niini ug sa AMOLED nga display sa orihinal nga Desire. Padayon kini nga klaro ug hayag -- dili duol sa ubos nga resolusyon nga display sa LCD panel sa Wildfire.

HTC Desire HD nga mga espesipikasyon: specs:
4.3" Super TFT nga display @ 480 x 800 pixels
1GHz Qualcomm 8255 Snapdragon CPU
1.5 GB internal
768MB RAM
hangtod 32GB pinaagi sa microSD
HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, HSUPA 2 Mbps
WiFi 802.11n
Bluetooth
GPS uban ang aGPS nga suporta
FR nga tuner sa radyo
8MP kamera nga adunay dual LED Flash
720p video recording
Li-Ion 1230mAh nga baterya
Android 2.2. Froyo

Para sa ingon kadakong telepono, katingalahang nipis usab kini (bisan pa nga nagtuo ko nga naghatag kini og mas nipis nga impresyon tungod kay ang lawas nagtapok padulong sa mga kilid).

Ang dako nga 8MP nga lente sa likod klarong naglabang ug mahimong hinungdan sa kabalaka (posible kini nga makasamad sa nawong nga imong gibutang o mismo sa lente). Sa akong tan-aw kini usa ka isyu nga dali ra masulbad pinaagi sa usa ka maayong gel case o susama nga butang. Wala nakakuha og mga test shot kay medyo ngitngit ang kwarto.

Ang touch panel para sa mga kontrol ug menu kay gipatong/giprint sa salamin nga panel sa ubos ug wala maghatag og bisan unsang klase sa feedback kung gipislit. Bisan pa, pabor gihapon ko sa pisikal nga mga buton sa orihinal nga Desire.

Ingon nga makita nimo sa video sa ubos, ang handset kay hapsay kaayo, responsive ug snappy. Sa 4.3", halos imposible nga magsulat gamit ang usa ka kamot sa kini nga unit.

Usa ka YugaTech nga magbabasa nga nagpuyo sa Dubai nagsulti nako nga nakapalit siya og usa nga mga Php25k didto. Apan, ang usa ka ig-agaw nga bag-o lang niagi sa Dubai Airport kagahapon nagsulti nga ang presyo sa Duty Free nga tindahan kay USD$800.

Ang akong lokal nga tinubdan naghatag og estima nga Php37,000 apan ayaw kabalaka kay mahibal-an nato ang eksaktong presyo sa paglunsad sa Nobyembre 23.

Update: Mahimo nimo susihon ang Top Electronics alang sa presyo kung kini opisyal na.

As stated here, Desire HD is using S-LCD. According to Taiwanese, Desire HD is usingã€€normal TFT-LCD in their country. I have checked the news release from htc website as well, it stated S-LCD once again (Philippine Launch). Taiwanese must getting mad and angry….

Guys, any news on the desire hd? went to check out the HTC store in SM north, and they said the device would probably be available by January next year?! Ang tagal pa, and at the very least the price would be around Php37,000.00

pupuboy · 16 years ago

Hi guys, just want give info:

Been to HK for the past 4 days, and they still don’t know when it will be coming. I’ve done some research there and found some local stores posting they’re selling it, but when i got into one of the address we can’t find it (its either a hoax or di lang talaga namin nahanap). But, i’ve read a local HK forum saying it will be available by Nov 22 (SAYANG di ako umabot!) huhu. BTW, prices that was posted about 5800 – 6000 HKD, which is also close to the one expansys HK price (see expansys.com)

@graci

kung magbablackberry ka it is better kung postpaid coz if ur goin on prepaid you won’t use the all specs of the bb and if ur goin to htc… i can say it is a great phone but ung display ay same lang sa x1o mini which means pinilet lang kaya siya pixelated… i suggest you to get samsung galaxy five if u are a first time android user… at madami pang service center pagnagka problema….napagdaanan ko narin yan between htc and bb… nbsa ko kc kung magprepaid ka lang sa bb parang call and text lang mggamit mu better to buy pa black and white phone…lol and ung htc nman… ok nman but as i read a lots of review stock na siya sa android 2.1….

hope it helps…

Hi sir yuga, saan kayo bumili and magkano? Do you know how much it’s going in taiwan or hk?

graci · 16 years ago

guys i need your opinion, which is better? htc wildfire or blackberry curve 8520? i’m more of texting and i’m afraid that touchscreen phones would be harder to use. i like blackberry bec its something new and im specifically attracted to its qwerty keyboard, but comparing these two, features are incomparable.thanks!

malabo ba talaga on a direct sunlight?

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 16 years ago

@Alexei Rivera – the reps I talked to refers to it as Super TFT.

Alexei Rivera · 16 years ago

It hasn’t been clear if this actually uses SLCD. Some websites are changing the SLCD spec for this into LCD and it looks that way.

HTC hasn’t clarified this but they’ve also removed mention of any SLCD in their official specs.

I’m almost certain that they originally planned for SLCD but had to do LCD instead. The Desire Z, on the other hand, has been confirmed SLCD I believe.

I think one of Gingerbread’s new features is video calling.

Sexycutioner · 16 years ago

@razorous They dont believe in video calling, according to some HTC peeps ive met.

@yuga, i think the build quality of the battery and sim/sd card cover sucks, madaling masira. but all in all maganda sya especially the HTCSENSE feature (yung sa http://www.htcsense.com)

razorous · 16 years ago

Why did HTC start having new models without the front facing cameras for video calls? Any ideas?

mr.bogus · 16 years ago

i like the specs, functionality and features of HTC cp but the prob is the battery life i hope maresolve nila yun.. lalo na yun htc evo4g, better that iphone4
