Have been offered the exec as an upgrade and other phones but am wondering if it is worth it, it doesn't seem to offer a lot more than the IIi?
Your thoughts please?

Ditch O2 and get unlimited data on t-mobile. Then get an MDA Pro. Its wm5, so its a bit slower, with a lot less memory. Its however about the same size as the xda2i, but offers a wonderfull keyboard, lovely VGA screen (which makes mobile browsing much much better) and 3G data speeds, with no concern about being in wifi range.
The HTC Universal is definitely a worthy upgrade to the xda2i, but to really make it worthwhile you need cheap fast unlimited data.

Do you mean this sort of price plan

I'm going to wait a couple of months for the t-Mobile Vario II (HTC Hermes), just a shame the screen isn't VGA
Yes, it really provides value from your purchase. I'm feeling very American now, streaming podcasts and surfing with pictures on!
Surur
heh
the lack of wm2005 for IIi
makes many ppl think IIs or even the old II is a good upgrade from a IIi
Screen that closes, helping protect the touch area from damage when it's in a pocket.
WM5 and Persistant storage
3G
I would say upgrading from an XDA-II to a Universal was a good move.
guys!
Im planning to buy an xda phone the problem is im confuse which one I will hoose betwwen xda IIs or xda II mini, help... i want the one that will satisfy me most between this two
are those 2 models even made anymore ?
they are pretty old
your choice should be between hermes, universal and Trinity
It would also help if you told us what you are looking for in a phone.
I for one would never get a Universal, simply because of its size.
Got a brief glimpse of a Hermes in person, and liked it mostly (still seemed a bit sluggish despite the improved processor).
But then again, I am happy with my Jamin.
SHould i get a touch or wait for a while to see what other phones comes out for sprint Like the new Samsung phone

Technology move faster and faster each day. If you wait, you'll still have to wait later.
I am looking for a replacement of my TyTn II.
I will wait to see when both the HP Ipaq 610C and Imate 9502 are out. And both these models should be out very soon, say less than a month.
I will then try to go through reviews to see if these do not have major problems and decide on one.
The SE Xperia is a bit too much in the future to wait for.
You may want to wait a little longer

It really depends which Touch you are refering to...The GSM Touch with the OMAP 200mhz processor? or either the Touch Dual or Touch Cruise? IMO, they all have thier problems. OMAP is too slow and seriously outdated, and the Touch Dual/Cruise lack proper video drivers. If you have a good phone I would wait...
If you have an old phone with some issues, I would get the Touch Cruise today. Which is just what I did

i was talking about the HTC touch from sprint
Depends on what you're looking for...
...and how long you're willing to wait.
Possible cool phones that will probably show up in the next 6 months:
- iphone v2 with 3G
- more VGA phones
- Sony Xperia
- iMate 9502

You're right I got the new HP 614c since 1 week now. Works like hell. Only misfit in this : the camera is BAAAAAAAD.

Hi Guys,
I recently bought a SPV M700 which unfortunately arrived not working.
At least I've found your website now, so, in your humble opinion, what's the best one to get?
I like my psp for connectivity, podcast download/playing and screen size, I also like my HP IPAQ for it's windows/office features with handwriting recognition.
Think it's a good idea to get your views before I take the plunge with another phone.
Cheers
Lyvia
hi,
i like my touch niki, having owned a polaris and tytn ii, this one runs smooth and has a slideout keyboard, no wifi or gps, but i can live with this as i have unlimited web bolt on, and a solar sirf iii gps bluetooth receiver
Depends on how you use it.....
The best phone is always the one in my hand.
After owning a Qtek 9100, Qtek S200, HTC Tytn and HTC Tytn II and now a Samsung SGH-i780 and I can only say that the Samsung beats the crap out of the HTCs The only drawback is there are no home brewed rom for it. But for a fast, stable, very nice looking phone filled with features - don´t look any further
Otherwise you can buy my Tytn II - I never use it anymore since getting the Samsung - it feel slow and old
How much did you want for your tnty II? What condition is it in etc.
Regards
Lyv

how can you compare a smartphone to a pda? SGH-i780 is a smartphone isn't it?!
I guess I'm thinking of the 760.. I don't think the 780 is avail in U.S.
android!! or iphone =P i know people here dont like the iphone, but honestly its very light, its got a great browser, and now that the sdk came out, theres gonna be alot of programs available for it. theyre coming out with a 32gb 3g model in the next couple months, so keep an eye out.

No it is Windows Mobile 6 Pro and not smartphone.
Interesting, I do like the look of the iphone I must admit.
Have been having a look at the Hermes and Wizard phones too. Would like the Kaiser type but they seem a bit on the expensive side at the mo.
Cheeers

The i780 is only a tiny bit larger than the i600 but runs on steroids.
Meaning: WM6 Professional, extremely fast Marvell CPU incl. PERFECT video playback even playing large video files from a memory card, nice display quality(a bit shiny though), built-in GPS, WiFi, etc. etc. etc.
This little baby is really impressive, unfortunately it is only Tri-Band GSM(GSM 850 is missing) and Singleband UMTS/HSDPA.
I have been waiting for and just taken delivery of an i-Mate Ultimate 9502. I have put a review here
In function and aesthetics it's the best I've had (albeit that it has had to be exchanged with a hardware fault...I have chatted to other owners via the imate forums and this seems to be a one off).
Cheers
yea the 9502 is nice, but it costs wat, $900? and that still most likely wont be compatible with wm7 when (if) it does come out. I have a Hermes, and im trying to convince my sister to get me an iphone for my birthday. And the Kaiser and a bunch of others of the newer phones have the problem with the video driver. HTC has become crap lately, and alot of us are getting tired of it and jumping ship with the arrival of the iphone and the soon to be released android phones.
Hi, Mole,
Have been looking at the iphone too, keep getting told by people though that when you connect something downloads and you end up getting locked out from using other networks. I am with O2 anyway but only use a pay and go sim. From speaking to O2 they reckon you can't use the iphone with pay and go.
Cheers

iphones can work with payg but no company supports it due to wanting more money..
i have a hermes and i love it - still waiting on recieving my memory card and gps reciever but im still enjoying tweaking n playing around
Hi, thanks guys, may look at the Hermes or perhaps give the trinity another try, must admit, it has put me off a fair bit having received on that appears to be bricked.
The iphone is nice but will leave it a year or so before I go down that route.
Cheers

My Hermes has worked beyond my expectations these last 12 months! Good Luck!
as much as I HATE apple, I'm sorry to say I really think iphone is the superior device on the market currently.
Thanks for that......

Superior device ? You must be joking ! It has a superior INTERFACE i must admit, but it's very far from being the overall superior device...
Check this thread...
In the end, it all goes down to what you intend to do with your mobile device.
hi guys. im an old iphone user and now thinking about switching to wp7. have Omnia 7 in mind can anyone suggest a good site for it? i want to buy an unlocked version and get it shipped to the US.
btw, my gf has an Omnia 7 US T-mobile version. she cant get the copy paste function even after updating it all the way. any clue??
thanks
Go for HTC hd7 it's amazing
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Having used the HD7 and owned both the 7 Pro (Arrive) and the Omnia 7, I can say that the Omnia 7 (16 Gb version) is the best of all 3 devices for consumers. The NAND memory makes the user experience more fluid and the AMOLED screen wipes the floor with the HTC screens. Plus the screen isn't much smaller than the HD7.
However, if you plan on ripping the phone apart to add more storage, want to use homebrew applications or flash pre-release ROMs, then the HD7 is the superior device - simply due to community support! That, and the hardware keyboard, is the only reason I switched from my Omnia to my 7 Pro.
edit: And to answer your original question:
http://www.expansys.com/samsung-omnia-7-i8700-16gb-217100/
HTC phones have more options for hacking/development. go for the HD7.
I'm using it right now. and i'm the happiest boy in the world!!
Why are you thinking about moving to WP7 now? I would wait until Nokia comes out with their devices. Clearly MS is looking at Nokia to make WP7 or 8 into a contender, in their earnings call they only mention WP7 in terms of their partnership with Nokia. No update on how many licenses were sold or how much money WP7 generated.
You know, nobody even attempted to answer his question.
One option is ebay.
You can also try gsmarena.com. Click on the phone you are interested in and on the left hand side you will see some places that carry the phone.
Omnia 7 can be had for in the mid $300 to mid $400 range now.
HD7 is about that too, sometimes less than the Omnia 7.
I would pay no more than $400 for either. I prefer the Omnia 7. I have read bad things about the original HTC HD7 screen. Plus the memory expansion and the camera on the Samsung are features that may sway you. On the con, the Omnia 7 has seen its update issues.
Edit: now saw your edit Blade
Omnia 7
Thanks for your replies. I decided to go for it.. I got a new, unlocked HD7 from the AndarinStore.com. Surprisingly, their listing for the omnia 7 is a bit cheaper.. 349.99, any idea why? I liked the look of the htc more,, although. It wasn't an easy decision.

I have never heard of that site. They do not carry a whole bunch of original phones, or anything else for that matter. Why did you end up choosing them?
Windows Phone devices are so similar that it comes down to personal preference in screen size, and build. Most have one differentiator (DLNA, Dolby Surround, 16GB Internal, AMOLED, 8MP Camera + Xenon Flash, Slide out, Slide up) but for most nothing that is an absolute deal breaker.
If they made the Samsung internals in the Mozart casing I would be sold.
having an htc, dell, and samsung
for multimedia, the samsung devices wipe the floor with htc and dell. Easily. For business (keyboard) I like the dell but there are a myriad of issues with it. Finally when it comes to hacking the htc is good for you
best phone ever!! best price ever!!!

Unfortunately you can't upgrade the memory on the Omnia because it's NAND, rather than the standard SD card. That's why the 16Gb Omnia is the superior option - but that's only available in Europe if I remember right.
The 16GB version of Omnia 7 is only available on eBay or Amazon.de.
I went through several WP7 (LG Optimus 7, Omnia 7 8GB) phones until I ended up with the Focus. I chose Focus because it's almost the exact same specs as Omnia 7, but it's lighter (119g) and has a SD card. The major drawback is that it doesn't have a ROM so you have to rely on the backup if something happens. Also, the memory is not NAND but that's not something I care now, as I have a total of 24GB of memory...
Now, I also suggest you have a look at the HD7S. In term of customizing, HTC phones are close to none, so you might want to have a look at it. The same specs as HD7, but the screen is SuperLCD. Haven't personally seen one, to express any opinion towards it, though.
Be careful if you use ebay. There are a lot of devices floating around stuck in demo mode being sold.
