Lookingto upgrade my phone...any suggestions? - General Topics

I know I've seen a thread before that talks about what are the hottest and best phones to buy but I cannot find the link.
I currently have a HTC Wizard/Tmobile Wing and I am ready to upgrade. I am going to go the unlocked phone option because I am not really interested in the Wing if their are unlocked phones out there that are better.
I really don't know what is all out there but maybe you guys can throw some phone names at me that are ppc and I can google them or you can tell me why you suggest that phone. I do like my Wizard, I just havent bought a phone in awhile so I need to get my fix

HTC Panda owners join me!

Has anyone here got some good stuff for the HTC Panda (P6300)? I would love to upgrade to WM6! Also, would the Kaiser Home Screen work properly on a Windows Mobile 5 device such as the P6300? And finally, would it require new hardware, or just a software upgrade to make EDGE functional on this phone?
Anyone know of any way to upgrade the P6300 to WM6 yet? I guess not too many of you own a Panda!
Maybe Not Same Name?
Is this phone labeled as something else by other carriers?
yes there are panda owners im one
have been asking the same questions for a while now
there is software out there that works on our windows5 devices but no windows6

Question about phones i can use

I was wondering.. Since i have a contract now with T-mobile, i cant go and get the HTC-diamond or for that matter, any of the HTC phones can i? except the stupid FUGLY g1? or the "raphael"? I liked the original style for the diamond better, like the way its shaped and stuff. Also the HTC -HD looked nice too... could i order a HTC diamond or any of those HTC phones from somewhere and slide my sim card in there? I was looking on the HTC site already but its too confusing...
So basically I figured maybe someone else maybe already has used the diamond. Actually any of those HTC phones like the HD,dual,or cruise with t-mobile as their provider.. and could tell me if that worked or not. Considering my contract isnt due anytime sooon.... and all of "t-mobiles phones" look lame! I have the wing right now, and let me tell you this phone is junk, mainly because of its memory and processor speed. But enough of my babblin, any help would be aprreciated guys. Thanks!
I would recommend to start here: http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdachooser
And then try to search in your selected device specific thread
Good luck!
you sure can get the htc fuze (at&t's version of the htc touch pro/raphael) and get it unlocked and do whatever with it... just do your homework and read before you do anything.

HTC HD2 -= or =- Google Nexus One

I'm kinda cunfuse between buying those two devises. I need a little help with answering some qustions.
I'm a WM fan since the first day i got the I-mate Jam, I-mate JasJam then finally HTC Touch HD.
I'm little afriad of going out of the box of WM and trying to put my hands on the Android N1.
I would like to know how to instull apps and flash a rom and what are the meaning of rooting and something about writing a command in the N1.
Basically , I want to know the devise and its system before buying one
and also, is the N1 work outside the US?
I would recommend the HD2 because of all the problems the Nexus One is reported to have. I would wait for the N2 mainly because it will feature a physical QWERTY keyboard.

Of course Leo!!

Touch Pro 2 Newbie

Good Evening all!! My TP2 for sprint is on the way (hopefully tomorrow but possibly monday)! I have been out of the upgrading game for a few years now. I am coming from a mogul and even in the last year I haven't done anything to that because I felt like I have explored everything in the previous few years. Will anyone point me in the direction of some good links? I feel like I am starting all over with this whole process. anyway... where do I begin? I've been looking for stickies for sprint unlocking but it seems even the basic terms are beyond me....PLEASE HELP!!!
P. S. I formerly used and loved DCDs' ROMs.....what out now is similar to those?
Hi, welcome back to XDA. Seems like you enjoy custom ROMs and personalizing your phone. Everything you need will be in this forum because we use CDMA phones. Seeing as how you are probably going to use a custom ROM, you will first want to check out the Hard SPL thread here.
Once again it is very important to make sure you download CDMA versions as the GSM version can possibly brick your device. The same goes for downloading custom ROMs, which i suggest you download from PPC Geek's CDMA TP2 upgrades.
Below is the configuration that I use. To review different benchmarks on some different custom roms check out the PPC geeks ROM Showdown.
Best of luck with your device and always remember, if you don't know, READ IT AGAIN. If you still don't know, Search the forums. If you still don't know ask one of the experts here
thanks you very much for your response. i'm going to begin "studying" tonight. My TP2 is scheduled to be here before 3 on Monday (so excited). is it all everybody thought it would be and more? I've been out of the upgrading scene for years
hey, i recently did the same thing (upgrade from mogul to TP2)
as burtonsnow linked, HSPL is stickied in this forum
personally i use NRG's rom (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=86489)
i used to use DCD because it was lightweight, but the TP2 doesnt have the same RAM issues as the mogul, so i found i can indulge in a rom with some more eye candy
anyway, hope you like the TP2, im loving mine all my iphone fanboy/girl friends who thought my mogul was "nice, but not as good as an iphone" nearly **** themselves when they say my TP2 (they all want one now lol)
radios and such
is there a list of what radios work best with certain roms (and works well with gps)? when i had the mogul i used to use garmin mobile xt...is that the best program to use for the TP2?
i dont think there is as big a selection of radio roms for the TP2, ive really only seen the sprint stock radio around
i use TomTom on both mogul and TP2, so i cant comment on garmin

htc hd2 or htc desire

Hello guys.
I am an owner of Imate Jam or Qtek S100 and after a lot of problems after 4 years that i have bought this phone i want to buy a new one.At first when Htc Hd2 came out i was in love!!! and then the Desire came out recently.After many reviews and comparisons i am in the middle now.I know that maybe they have almost the same features but are different due Android and Windows mobile system.I didn't have problem with Windows mobile(only some resets after some days) but is usual with my phones features and programs i had installed.I love messing around in registry or tweaking.I am confused because i don't want to buy a phone and after one year can find an application to install like windows 2003se and after i learn that windows 7 are coming soon and i will cannot upgrade my phone.I want a mobile to last this time.On the other side i am angry that i cant install applications in SD card(even in s100 i have 4GB installed and is almost full).Also i love the iphone like applications that only android supports some of them.(I know about some clones for wm but is not the same-like i lighter).The other dilemma is the screen and colors.Amoled with 16M with TFT with 256K,the amoled looks brilliant and is new but some they say that is a little pinky in white areas.I was having symbian before windows mobile and now i get used the windows mobile for four years,i will get used to android?or i will regret it?or wait for windows mobile 7?
Any help from you that you own or see from close that phones it will be appreciate.Thank you very much.
Welcome to forums
I personally would choose Leo because of WM
Let us know what you´ve got
Desire. I gurantee you won't like the way the WinMO OS is going within the next few months.
Thanks guys for your reply's but i will be glad if you tell me reasons why to choose the specific phone
I'm on the exact same problem lol, I have a Diamond now (it's almost completely broken now...) but I was a flash addict! That, and the fact that the HD2 might (I use that loosely) get an unofficial upgrade to WP7, and probably will get an Android port later.
Yet, I want the Desire because so many people say they think it's the best phone ever (I remember seeing that on a review in the Desire forum), also the Android version of Sense is absolutely stunning.
Again, the HD2 has an amazingly large screen, but the Desire has a better screen...
Ahh I'm stumped...
Ok, even i am in this prediciment as i want to upgrade from my HD.
I look at things like this :
Do you like android or WM? - For me its WM so i dont need to look at android.
WP7 is indeed going to be a major departure from wm6/6.5 and it is unlikely that the HD2 wont get an official upgrade....................but....
....it was also unlikely that my old Prophet would get a winmo 6 upgrade and it didnt. It did however get cooked winmo6 roms from our chefs here.
So, if you want top hardware and like lightening fast devices and is willing to flash everynow and then when wm7 gets cracked then i would go for the HD2 any day.
Of course, if you want to try something different, think about the iphone with os40........Ok its not an HTC but there are big changes happening in the summer so im gonna wait until then.
You have a point my friend.I like WM but i havent tried android and they look very attractive and i think is the future.I have flash many roms from here(THANKS XDA FOR THE INCREDIBLE JOB) but i dont want to buy 600 euro phone and loose the warranty and greek language support;/ (maybe 1 or 2 years later).I think you have right about the changes will happen in the summer and i know i should wait,except i will get crazy and i will buy the first i will see in front of me
