If you are wating for an EXPERIA X1

Your wait just got longer. Its been delayed to Feb 2009.

that phone was ugly anyways, i think i'll stick with my kaiser

I think that the drivers are not available yet LOLOL

Still on track!
Not delayed
http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/sony-ericsson-says-xperia-x1-is-still-on-track-for-this-year/

31th of December will still be in 2nd half of 2008 but will most certainly be a long wait...
But then again maybe the X1 will be the first flagship from Sony Ericsson that will not be delayed - you never know... I wouldn't bet my money on it

heh, i think that kaiser looks just like a brick in compare to xperia. se is beautifull and i swap to it only if it will be possible

Whatever...you can always wait for tech to get better. That's a long wait, so it's not even worth mentioning really.

I want it, but I want to keep my kaiser too . . What to do what to do. . .

I really cannot see any reason what so ever for changing the Kaiser with the X1. I think the screen and the camera on the Kaiser is very nice and basically isn't that the only differences on the two models apart from the design?

Hmm would still stick with the Kaiser...

Another good reason to "trade up" is...
For us in the US, and on T-Mobile, we will not be able to utilize 3G when it is completely rolled out, right? I heard that T was rolling it out in the 1700 MHz band. If that is the case, then no 3G for TyTN users.

well i'm for the looks for the xperia...altho it doesnt tilt as much as the TytnII i'd still want it...the silver...mmm...reminds me of my old p1i...and the optical navigation pad...however taht works...should be awesome too...i hope

If quake doesn't run on it then I don't see why I would trade.
pew pew

2009 release was a mistake it will be second half of this year
I am extreamly tempted by it, largly due to the sony camera, and if the build quailty is like that of my old w800i and w850i then its a huge bonus.

I've been holding off on the Tilt to see how this is going to pan out. But what I've seen of the Experia X1, I'll be heading down that road....

If you want to play Quake (and other 3D accelerated (!) games), get a second-hand Dell Axim x51v. 10000 times better than the Tilt.

lol if I get anything just to play games on then I will get a psp.

Wow, I am blown away by some of the comments here. The screen resolution of the X1 is enough. 800x480 is even better than Diamond, and the 3" screen is sweet. Enough to make me drool. And at 140g it's 25% lighter than the Kaiser. Now port the Manila interface from Diamond to it, and we are in business

What's the best phone

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.

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
Lyv

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

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.

What i should buy?

Hi all..
again this very same question..
my first PPC was a QTEK 9090 (from audiovox), it was so fast and reliable that i have fallen in love with it, but its only CDMA and i needed GSM, so i decided to move on and upgrade to one more complete, the HP hw6945 (AKA Htc Sable), and i'm so disappointed with it.. its freacking slow, it hangs all the time, and now out of the sudden it stopped working.. the complete opposite from the QTEK....so, i'm going to buy a new one, this time, with more research .. and i hope to have more good times with this new one..
what i'm looking foward is a good sized screen, fast cpu, gps, reliability!!.
so, what u guys recomend to me?
i have seen some on the net..
htc touch pro
sony xperia
nokia n97
what else??? please give me your opinion and suggestions.
thankss

Welcome to forums
Have a look to:
Touch Pro 2
Toshiba TG01
HTC Hero
For mentioning just some...
Or wait till the end of the year, great devices will be announced!
Good luck,

Depends on Carrier.. You said GSM So its either ATT or TMO
If TMO Get the new MyTouch
if ATT Get a HTC Branded Magic
There basically the same phone except that the Magic branded device has more ram & will work on ATT 3g Instead of TMO 3g.. & Although I would like the extra ram its not worth giving up 3g since I am a tmo Cust..
& If android isnt your cup of tea then get the Touch Pro or Diamond (or the #2 versions of each, but I am not a fan of the new styling & love the pocketability (is that a word) of the original diamond).

Neither.. I assumed you were in the US.. Whatever carrier you get should use the Same bands as AT&T though so my recomendation for them follows.. Also the hero is a solid device with identical specs but doesn't have the trackball.. Personally I like the Magic styling better..

If you can hold out for a bit, I suggest you wait another 3-4 months. Right now, most of the phones that you will see are ~528 mhz. By the end of this year, the SnapDragon chipset will come out (1 GHZ). Mostly all the phones mentioned above are all 528. If you can wait a little longer, you can get double the speed for ~$200 extra.

Hello to all...
I am new here and my name is Allen and i would suggest same as Orb3000 that
You must have a look to:
Touch Pro 2

HTC 600 mhz+ phones

Hi, I have a quick question to ask. I bought my touch pro (1) last year and I was looking at all the nice new phones HTC is coming out with. I was honestly thinking about getting the HTC Diamond 2 or the HTC Hero, but looking through the specs, I see that they all have 528 MHZ processors. That is literally no improvement over my touch pro, which also has a 528 mhz, and chances are, there wont be much of an improvement over what I have.
I think I am going to wait it out until an HTC phone comes out that is 600 mhz or more.
I know of the HTC Leo (Firestone), which is a concept phone and I don't even know if this phone will ever move into production. Does anyone know of any other HTC phones that are bound to come up that have at least 600 mhz of processor? Also, maybe even a quality camera that is at least 5 mp will be nice too.

Yeah, wait till the end of the year great 600+mhz devices will be anounced!
I´m tented to do the same!
I have alreadymy 700Euro saved to buy my new device, initially I was going for touch pro 2 but decided to wait till december to make the right choice.

I was looking at the touch pro 2 but one thing I didn't like about it was its bulkiness. It seems pretty thick in the pictures, thats why I was looking at TD 2. But as soon as I see something that is 600 mhz, I'm gonna look into buying it. the SnapDragon processors for smartphones must be really expensive when they come out. Perhaps in the $1000s for an unlocked :-\.

Doubtful.
All new smartphones seem to cost $700-$800 unlocked regardless of specs. As of right now, you can preorder the Toshiba TG01 (which has a Snapdragon) for $800.
By the time it actually arrives, my guess is that it would be in the $700 range. If you want to get it now, though, you'll have to import it.

Actually Toshiba is already available in Europe, and importing will depend on where are you located

I really like HTC phones. I really hope they release a nice snapdragon that is in my price range by march of next year :-\

That's what I said; it is available now and if you want it, you'll have to import it. Those preorder availability (and pricing) I mentioned is presumably for an NA release.

Guyz if you want faster phone... then the year is 2010... AMD and Samsung also announced another chip which can clock up to 1000mhz (Hummingbird) like snapdragon on Toshiba G1. and windows mobile 7 is on the corner ... and my HTC Universal also has 528mhz processor which was released in 2005 ... so i think waiting until 2010 is best choice.....

Completly agree.
But wm7 is not around the corner, I donñt think we see it before september 2010

WinMo 7 sounds great and, hopefully, HTC will also finally update their specs in 2010 (but if not, I suppose Samsung will continue to have the best specs).
Nonetheless, while the Hummingbird sounds great, it's supposedly just an overclocked Cortex A8 with a modified architecture. Isn't the much better Nvidia Tegra also supposed to be release in 2010? It would probably pay off to wait for that instead.

.
(How do you delete a post?)

lol.
So many 1ghz phones in such a small window.
I really hope HTC pulls through and actually makes something decent.
This is what I"m hoping to find:
1-smoother processor
2-ease of use (typing, web surfing, etc.)
3-long battery life
4-nice productivity features
5-improved TF3D that has been revamped to be more "scheduling" friendly
The following two have the lowest priority, however, I wouldn't mind if these features were included
6-A nice camera with good picture quality (5mp, hopefully)
7-a good 3D accelerator that will allow for nice graphic games as well as HD movies
Hopefully all this on a 3.2-4" screen., although I don't know how huge a 4" screen will be
Does anyone have any info on the HTC Firestone?

My friend, I reiterate, check out Toshiba TG01. Coincidentally, that phone also has a 4.1in screen. Link: http://www.gsmarena.com/toshiba_tg01-2662.php
On the other hand, I don't think a phone screen needs to be that large to improve readability. I think a 3.5-3.7in screen would do fine.

Touch Pro 3 to have snapdragon?

Is it likely that the Touch Pro 3 will be Snapdragon powered like the Leo?
And I suppose that as the TP2 hasn't been out that long, I guess we will have a long wait for the TP3? At least a year?
I'd like a Leo but will really miss my Kaiser keyboard and D-Pad / Extra buttons.

I doubt the Touch Pro 3 will have a D-Pad. I would expect it to be Snapdragon-based, and to be released sometime around next May (but that's purely a guess based on the relative release dates of the Touch HD, Touch Pro2 and HD2).

Well if you want to wait and buy a US branded version than yes I'd say you are going to have to wait a year for it. But come April-May the GSM EU/Asia Unlocked versions should be arriving. Seeing as that is when the Touch Diamond 2 and Touch Pro 2 originally went on sale.
US carriers are usually always 6month-1yr+ behind on sell phones and Technology.

does anyone have any specs in the touch pro 3 ?
i could hold off upgrading my xperia if there was something cool and exciting round the corner ... ?

Well, if you look at HTC's past it will be likely that all high end devices from now until about two years from now (initial EU release dates) will use that exact same Snapdragon processor, yes

yes, Snapdragon cpu is the way to the future
