That HD is a monster
Yep, but that's a decision you have. I like HTC Sense, one of the best and well-thought skins out there for Android 2.2. The Desire HD with its processor is capable of running that new skin smoothly. I prefer a big screen, don't use the camera anyway (although the 8mp camera is better than Nokia's 5800 3.2 mp trashcam) and the build is quite good too.
Anyway, taste differs. Planning to go for a 1-year contract anyway instead of 2.
