So I’m looking at a upgrade for my phone soon, and I’m on the horns of a dilemma - one horn being the new Nexus S, and the other being the HTC Desire HD (essentially the Euro version of the HTC EVO 4G).

Somewhat irritatingly, there’s also a third horn, which is the possibility of hanging on and waiting for the Tegra2-based phones from LG et al to appear.

My current phone (HTC Hero) is perfectly adequate I suppose, so I could hang around and wait, but what I _can_ do and what I _want_ to do are very different things 🙂

Anyone with an opinion care to offer one?

I upgraded before Christmas, and had planned to go for the Desire HD. It’s a sensational device, but I went to the Vodafone shop to have a look, and it’s of a size that really must be seen and held. I’m quite tall etc but I thought the HD was too large to use with one hand

I’ve got an HTC Desire HD, and I absolutely love it. But then again, I haven’t got a Nexus S so can’t compare. 🙂
