Desire or HD2

Hi, newbie seeking opinions/advice.


I am trying to decide between the Desire and the HD2, although I am also considering the Samsung Galaxy, but am put off by the lack of flash.

I used an XDA Exec 2 (PAYG) for a while but found it too cumbersome.
WinMo 6 also ok but inclined to crash, so I switched to a cheap Motorola W220 phone on PAYG.
I am now considering a contract for the first time having always used PAYG, but worked out that it would be as cheap to get a contract.

Main uses:
1) Talking

2) Some mobile internet (mainly checking prices online against shop prices if out and about)

3) I also take notes (to do lists and shopping lists)

4) Occasional photos as well, but I want a decent quality photo not something low res and fuzzy.

5) My burglar alarm phones me on my mobile if it activates, or to inform me of a power cut where it is on battery power and it needs to warn me if the battery is running low.


I have no experience of Android vs WinMo so again advice appreciated.


I may want to use the phone abroad (Europe and India) on the odd occasion.
Not long back from a friends wedding in India and am going again next January to another wedding in India.

Also looking for advice in respect of the best provider (O2, Voda, etc.)
