Nice choice mate! I got one Dec last week for 26K. After using 4.3" screen, my previous phone(HTC legend) does look very small.

Sent from my Desire HD

Congrats Naveen.

Please tell us some more about the battery life.
i am using this beauty since two weeks now and i disconnect the phone from the charger in the morning around 7 am when i get up

then my usage is:

1. 60-90 minutes calling

2. 20-25 text messages

3. 30-45 minutes gaming

4. 30-45 minutes chatting on Gtalk and Whatsapp

5. light surfing for about 15-20 minutes on Edge

6. two gmail accounts, Gtalk & Whatsapp with Direct Push services.

7. Screen Brightness set to automatic.

8. Weather and facebook syncing every 2 hours.

i think thats all

i have around 25-30 percent battery remaining when i check around at night 11pm ...

i think thats pretty cool for a 4.3" screen

Note: i am getting all this after rooting the phone and flashing it with a newer radio but stock OS i.e. 2.2

Congrats NAV33N for a great purchase

Congratulations on the purchase mate, but you could have got a HD2 in much lesser price and had the option of multibooting all the OSes except iOS !!! anyway that's just me speaking :)
BTW, where did you get it from?

Before getting it i did give it a thought though. but sensibly speaking i never even used the front camera on my iPhone 4 :)

if you still have an option to buy it, do go for it....

Thanks all. :)

@ CeDrIc - i bought this off ebay from here

the seller took about 5 days to ship it & then i finally got this in my hands almost a day & half ago :p

the screen looks awesome,even after shifting from iPhone,my iPhone looks tiny in front of this.

the only problem i see is that unlike iPhone this phone is not easy to operate from one hand.

@ Ankur - Can't really tell about the battery life as the phone is New & i've recharged it only once till now

Thanks vriship for answering all queries :)

@ Tech_enthu - i do know about that but on HD2 it seems slow & responds slow.

@ delguy19 - earlier i was going to buy Galaxy S because of it's Screen & front camera but earlier i had Nokia N73 ME as well but i never used it's front camera even for clicking pictures :p

loved the screen size,the unibody design & HTC Sense.so,bought this instead & to be honest i don't regret the decision i made.

@ Vasishta.Sushant - Thanks,i was planning to get Streak but it was Huge so dropped my plan & got this.anyways it's just me :)
