I have had my Desire HD for a week now - bought from TKS in Germany (and paid more than it would have been on Amazon). Overall I am very happy with it:
PROS:
- Solid build quality and, unlike most other phones, its not a glossy fingerprint magnet!
- Large and beautiful screen with great color saturation
- Runs fast and is very responsive - I have not encountered any lag
- Wi-Fi Hotspot is easily set up so I can pull e-mail into my iP*d Touch
- Replaceable battery in the event that the battery fails
- Image quality of camera runs circles around *Phone 3GS and is better than IP4
- Sound quality is fabulous for music and great for calls
- USB internet pass-through functionality to save 3G data charges
- Its a small thing but the live wallpapers are beautiful
- Setting up IMAP to pull in Exchange e-mail is easy
- Otterbox makes a very nice case for it
CONS:
- Battery life is only so-so - a day and a half at best
- Poor design for SIM card slot - the SIM causes a (slight) unsightly gap on the bottom cover
- Removing and replacing the battery cover is tricky - mine has a tiny gap after it was replaced
- Limited storage (8-Gb micro-SD) for the price - should have been 16-Gb
- Android market is a mess to say it nicely - limited number of good games
Complaints about the box and size are silly. Why would you buy a large phone then complain about the size? I have a 3GS and iP4 for games - but this phone has completely won me over for daily use. The screen is large enough to comfortably surf the web and handle routine e-mail. It's so good that I can hardly put it down and I can easily overlook the cons!!

First of all, this is my 3rd android phone, and my 2nd HTC android phone.
What i like:
==========
-the screen is really crisp
-the touch feel is more responsive than my HTC desire
-screen size is just awesome if you do a lot of reading with your phone "emails, news"
-the phone is surprisingly lighter than it seems, one may think "this must be heavy", well it is not
-the phone is very slim, which gives it with the huge screen size some CLASSY effect
-nice htc widgets available, specially email and news widgets, can't live without these two
-htc new sence feature like locating your phone, locking it .. etc, really nice, but i disabled them thinking this might affect battery life
- rom space is just awesome, no need for app-to-sd to keep all ur market installed appz available.
- better multitouch experience than the former htc desire
what i hate:
==========
- the battery life .. are you kidding me?! 1230mah on such a screen is just too funny for anyone who is heavily using his phone, switching to 2G only network is a must if your daily talk time exceeds 20 minutes to be able to pass the day with one charge.
- mobility, can't fit it into my pocket, used to fit its elder, tinier brother the HTC desire with ease, even with the extended battery
- htc must do something about their package ease of opening
- htc must change the phone access ways, never been so afraid opening a phone before, feels like it is gonna break a plastic pin all way through.
- no space for respectable extended batteries, which is what this phone REALLY needs.
- the LOUD speaker experience in all HTC phones is not the greatest, my wife's XT701 the 1 year old phone is WAY better than this 1 month old telephone
- upto 320 hours standby time on WCDMA and 480 on GSM >> that's just a big fat lie.
- the price kept me from buying it for at least 45 days till it dropped a bit, initial prices here for high end new electronics are crazy
What i wanted:
============
- better resolution, one of the biggest screens in the market and still using the same resolution as 3.5 and 3.7 inches phones?! i want something to compete with the iphone4 screen creating a new standard of its own.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I have the nexus one.
I bought this for the bigger screen,the 8 mp camera and Gps map availability without internet.What a difference to the nexus.
Its just not only the screen size, but the response to touch is much better as well.
The HTC sense makes a big difference over the stock android that nexus has to offer.Small things like news app,facebook app,email app also make life easier.
Over time I have used the Sony X 10, HTC desire ,iphone. This wins by a big margin.Definitely a buy if you are looking for an unlocked Android smartphone.
