I need one!

This seems to be a newer version x7500 now x7501
I really dislike the htc athena because of its weird keyboard design and the size of the phone. Its like carrying a brick to street, making yourself looking like an idiot. I rather buy HTC hermes or the universal. Both have WM6 and have pretty much the same functions, except for the screen.

Hi guys,
I currently have the Xda IIs version of Blue Angel, running on the TuMa 1.3, but it seems like time for a change. I'm currently considering 3 options: HTC Universal, HTC Hermes, and Advance TC M.A.G.I.C. (I know it's not HTC, but...)
Details on M.A.G.I.C. can be found at:

Thanks!
For me, it's gonna be Hermes. I had a Qtek 9000 (Universal) for a week to play around with, very nice features and the screen is very good, but it is far too large for me. I come from a Magician, so the Vario was the best option for me now in terms of size. I am very happy with it, so Hermes (with same form factor) is definitely the successor to my Wizard. Same goes for M.A.G.I.C. far too large for me, although the specs are astonishing. And since this phone is the first ever made by that company, expect lots and lots of flaws, poor support etc etc.
Have you seen the thread on the other HTC devices due to come out this year? Some include GPS, others the same specs as Wizard but much thinner etc etc. if they all make it to market here, it's gonna be a hard choice, but for now I am aiming at the Hermes.
If size is not an issue for you and neither is money, I would go for the Universal any time. it is available now, there is good support from this community, the specs are very good and ROM updates are frequent.
Eh...you forgot the winner - Atom! :wink:
Ha ha, sorry for that. But for me a keyboard is very usefull. Willing to give it up for a GPS, but Atom does not satisfy my needs, sorry!
Ideal devices all depend upon personal preferences, so Atom is no option for me. But if you don't need a keyboard, Atom is definitely a good option!
I don't think you should count on getting that M.A.G.I.C. any time soon! We really have no idea if it is good or not, and it wont be out for months.
M. A. G. I. C., but .......

Koksie, my previous PPC was a BA with hardware keyboard. I have found that I type a lot faster with PhonePad and T9 on the Atom (HTC version, ripped from a Wizard ROM) then I ever did with that BA keyboard!
I find that I use the hardware keyboard more than I could ever have imagined when I had my Compact! On the Compact, I hardly send sms messages, because of my hesitation in using the phone pad or the on-screen keyboard. I just couldn't type fast enough to be convienent! With my Wizard, I just slide it open and type away! Well, every one has his favourite input method, that much is clear! Well, if you don't need a keyboard, better go for Atom or Prophet, since they combine a small form factor with great specs. Or wait for the trinity, which also look very good.
Hi , cant decide which of these phones to get. I'm getting either on 02 uk, anyone help me to decide which is better? (orbit2 or vario III).
Thankyou.

kaiser got keyboard
poraris got fm radio and is suppose to have a mouch touchflow'ish screen
Yup, it's pretty much keyboard versus no keyboard. If you don't need it, save yourself the bulk and get it with a flush screen.
Touch Dual
I um'd and ahh'd bought the Kaiser (loved it) and just 2 days ago got the Niki, suffice to say the Kaiser is going on eBay (well i'll give it a few days more).
The niki vs the kaiser, lacks wifi, gps and full keyboard.
But, its so so sexier and cool, feels good and is awesome.
depending how much I can be bothered to spend I was considering a Nike. The polaris looks sweet (Next generation Artemis??) but the one thing id miss is a hardware keyboard.
Kaiser should be coming into its own soon with the driver situation looking a bit brighter but Baring in mind the next Hermes/Kaiser type device wont be that far away methinks (TyTN III?).
"The polaris looks sweet (Next generation Artemis??)"
well it looks kinda like artemis but under the hood they are not related much
polaris is pretty much as stated the same hardware as kaiser without the keyboard
and with fm radio
htc dont truely run families like that
some may look kinda alike
and others may have 100% the same insides

This Dutch tech news website has cought some info about the driver issue not being fixed with drivers, but with patches to boost performance. They do however mention that it all comes from unverified sources, so it could be just some rumour, but it could be true aswell.

my wizard is getting old and slow so I thought yesterday when I saw new htc P6500 and touch diamond that I need newer phone. should I wait and get diamond or just get cruiser now? what about other htc phones? no real need for keyboard since i got bluetooth one.
cruiser seems nice and low priced. gimme ideas and thoughts about those phones and maybe other.
diamond dont have a sdslot så you cant expand it's 4GB or use sdio devices
Between those two? the diamond obviously, if it's not too expensive for your needs. It's more advanced than the cruise, and has a much better UI that won't show its age as soon as old TouchFlo will (yes I know it's only one year old, this is a crazy world).
But my real advice is keep waiting. There are more new htc devices coming soon, and some from other brands too. If you don't need to change now, hold on and you'll have more new stuff to choose from.
Cheers!
I've got the LG KS20 coming tomorrow - that's just replaced my MDA Vario that 1) I was totally bored of and 2) I bricked anyway
I wanted something without a keyboard, unlocked, WM 6 out of the box and this one fitted the bill for me. Looking forward to a change.
Love the look of the HTC Diamond it looks stunning, but the price won't be, especially in the UK - it's currently listed for £480 without a contract and £200 on the contract I'm on.
There's always going to be something newer, bigger, better round the corner, so I always look at what my requirements are and then find a device that fits it that doesn't cost too much! Early adopters always pay the price and all that.
I've had my Tilt for about 6 months now and I've finally got it the way I like it with all the software and stuff (thanks xda!), but now I have the opportunity to swap it for an HTC diamond. Should I do it? I don't know much about the Diamond and really dont have the time right now to look it up so I'm leaving it up to you guys. Btw incase it might help I use my phone for mostly 1) phone calls, 2) Wifi on my University campus , 3) Texting. Thanks for your help.
Unless it was an HTC Touch Diamond Pro then I wouldn't recommend it. Sure the Diamond has slightly better specs, but it lacks the nice tilting keyboard, but then again you can always do with the on-screen keyboard instead. Hers my take on it; I wouldn't buy a new HTC Touch Diamond to replace my HTC Tilt, but if I had the opportunity to swap it for free then I would go for it. Anyways hers a specification comparison between the two:

Dimond touch
speaking of it, does any one of you know if theresa plugin of some sort to make the Dxian X999+'s accelerometer work as the g sensor????
PS. this probably isn't the best place to post this but i need help
Thanks
for hat you your phone for they both work. only thing is your going to miss your keyboard. if you want both devices put in one try the htc raphael. has vga display and a keyboard. you loose features but gain some newer technology 3d drivers (but as you know kaiser is close to realeasing m3d ) I beleive the raphael has g sensors and it is has a vga display.
the whole point is he can SWAP for a diamond, he doesn't want to be told to spend $800 on a Touch Pro, as I'm sure he knows that it's essentially a combintion of them.
I would say keep the Tilt, youve got it perfect, I'm sure it runs fast enough for you, and the Diamond doesn't really have better specs at all (fake amount fo RAM)

Go For HTC Touch Diamond..!
Hi Mighty,
Hey buddy.Don't hesitate.Go for the HTC. I also bought my HTC Touch Diamond from Press Digital in the last week.So far i'm very impress with it.I'm sure you also can feel the fun.Go for it..!
Brad..!
All i gota say is, Dont do it lol
with its lightness, beautiful design, autofocus camera, scroll-wheel i have to say this is the best HTC/WM phone i have used until now (having tried the Magician, Hermes, Kaiser, Diamond, Samsung i600, i780, plus many other non-WM phones)
has HTC got anything similar on the way? or possibly any similar spec/design WM/Android phones already released?
Hmmm.... camera is piece of sh*t, but the rest is true.
However, since they had to replace my radio chip due to BT/GPS problems, I doubt that can count as "best ever".
I'm looking at Blackstone ATM, and think it'll be my next HTC...
Leo sounds nice, but it's a bit ovekill for my needs... and a bit too big. And a bit too expensive.
Topaz & Rhodium were also under inspection... but I need separate audio jack and mini USB.
My opinion, no one has to agree with it...
The best HTC device ever
