Difference between Inspire and Desire HD?

[Yourdogsdead]

Is there any difference between the two phones? Besides region and carriers? I was just wondering, cause I know Cyanogen is waiting for the source so he can get the sound working on his ROM.

They can't be too different considering the Inspire tells services it's the "Desire HD". Our Good server at work shows my Inspire as the "Desire HD"

The biggest difference seems to be that the Inspire uses a different sound amplifier than the Desire HD. The devs need to wait for HTC to release the kernel source code for the Inspire to see how to use this new amp compared to the old one in the Desire HD kernel. Once HTC releases the source code, the devs can start customizing this thing in earnest.

Thanks for the responses. I just rooted my friends phone, wanted to know what his options were.

so i'm assuming cases for the desire will fit the inspire perfectly fine?

In all cases that I have heard of, they fit fine. I have the Desire HD otterbox defender myself.

Only thing with it is the belt holster covers the headphone jack. I never use the belt holster though.

I thought HTC already released the source code a couple weeks ago

Yes, they did already release the source code. Here's a link to the article on our favorite site: http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-releases-inspire-4g-source-code

The post you quoted was from a month and a half ago.

Dude, I already knew that. I was just pointing out that Cyanogen already had a head start on incorporating it.

Is the Desires Speakerphone as poor as the Inspire's?
So far that's my only complaint regarding the Inspire.

I would imagine so. The hardware is identical from everything I've seen.

Hardware is nearly identical, as the Desire HD lacks a noise-cancelling microphone. A case for the HD will cover your NCM.
