These phones run MTK and Windows Mobile,what is MTK?
http://www.mtk.com.tw/
check it out via above website

I wouldn't mind having that handset, in terms of its design anyway! Dpad and numpad combined, not too bad!

Was that a question at the audience? At the site, MTK is said to be a company making chips (for dopod presumably). But by the look of the touchscreen (note the 5 touch areas) I would guess that's the popular Chinese handset interface (nothing special there though, will find a review if anyone's interested).

it's very popular in china,because the price is good for the customers,any other companies could release the PPC phone as cheap as this one?it seems none!

I would get one too ...
I does not quite understand the overpricing of the HTC products ...
as we can all see customer support sucks ...
after all who will give 800 euros for a TyTN 2 (Tilt)?

osavioro,u have to know,such as HTC these big company,they got a huge profit on phone,then release a huge price for the customers,they r JS(JS=奸商=profiteer)，we must refuse them,go ahead

Actually I got my t-mobile wing at $135 which isn't that much more than this one. (The sales person at the T-mobile counter gave me a price break after a half an hour debate on the phone. lol)

wow,henrynhl,really?haha.pretty nice.

This is 2 year old model and I suppose that you've signed contract ... try to get Tilt with no operator contract (just the phone).

excuse me,i want to know,is any one here using this phone or the similar?

everyone ignores me

很酷！我就是用这个手机的。
it's cool。

Anyone have a link to more about this phone? Googling "Shanzai" brings up this thread and nothing else related to phones, and www.m8cool.com (as seen in the photo) doesn't exist.

www.m8cool.com exists ... not that I've been able to extract any particular information from it

Soooooooo where can you buy one?
That link takes you to a page but you can't buy one there.
This looks like it might be fun to play with.

Did some searching and found this:
http://www.eemobi.cn/mobile/search.aspx?keywords=COOLO818i
Its Not $99.00 -- more like $150.00 and then shipping from China. Gets pretty expensive.

Oh ok, it must have been down yesterday when I tried to get to it.

guys check this site out for chinese handsets there very cheap for British & Europeans, however prices go up alot when I select U.S. dollars so I guess they not much use for our American brothers

I just got back from China and they had quite a few phones like this but they were all quite a bit more expensive.
However, everything is China is MARKED very high. Doesn't mean you pay alot.

Phones with keyboards - Android or WM, any manufacturer

Hey guys
I won't bore you with a long story so here goes the short one: I need a new phone, I currently have an Acer M900, I could buy another M900 but why not try another?
must have KEYBOARD!
Current choices and ruled out:
Omnia 2 - b7whateveritisbuthasakeyboard - No diferent to my Acer and no chefs
Milestone/Android - serious concerns over its keyboard, market access for non-network locked. Ruled out.
TP2 - lesser model than my current Acer and its HTC which i refuse to buy having been burnt several times.
So, are there any other top of the line phones with a keyboard i haven't considered?
Thanks!!!

Have you looked at the Sony Ericsson X2?
But only the TP2 has XDA developer support

Not heard of an X2 so will take a look but I know the X1 was somewhat of a disaster and also made by HTC.

omniapro b7610. its basically an omnia2 with a keyboard. (slightly smaller screen and internal storage...)
LG Expo (IQ). 1Ghz Snapdragon and wm6.5.
and yeah the xperia x2. looks really sweet but using old processor. not made by HTC.

Ruled that out.
The X2 does look good but you have just said my very first glance - old slow processor.
Any idea when the X10 is out? That looks spanky...

^just read on gsmarena it will be available in the uk next month.

start or end or no idea? I'm only back in the country for the first few days...... argh!

arghhh!!!
Very pricey and April

X2 will be awesome, and it's coming soon in the States (not sure about elsewhere).
The Expo too is a good phone for sure, what with Snapdragon and a nice keyboard.

Orb, i don't know how many times in the past I have told YOU I will never have another HTC manufactured device. I've also mentioned it in the original post. So thanks but, no thanks!

I looked at the X2 and all I can do is hope the processor is wrong on all the data sheets i've seen. How can they design a spanky phone like that and then put a processor in it thats older than my grandmother!
I can't find anything about the LG Expo, can anyone supply me a link? Is it out or due out in the next few days/weeks?

Sorry I forgot that...
but no need to get mad, I also pointed to a non HTC device

looks very stylish but, that snap on keyboard is not going to be handy when I need it as it will back in my draw in the office or something....
and only a 3mp camera in this day and age????

Yes but a VGA front camera!
And for the KB we should test it before having any 2nd thoughts...
Peace,

Still doesn't change the fact that the keyboard is not permanently attached - no matter how it "feels". Its not going to be with me all the time and a lot of that time will be "I wish I had my keyboard with me right now"

Also, I am not too fussed with that big blob in the middle of the keyboard.

What is your favorite device?

Hi everyone, I have been wondering what people think is the best phone on the market and why?
This thread is designed for those who want to purchase a new phone, but don't want to buy something that is only hyped and has no substance. By the people, For the People!
Please state the phone and your reason why it is your personal favorite. (Note: It could be any phone, even the iPhone 4.)
Thanks To all those who post!

I thought the Motorola Dynatac 800X was pretty coollio, last week!

My favorite phone by all means is (because I own it) HTC HD2. Mines is a TMOUS, but if you are planning on buying one get the world version its universal. Here is a video (not mine) on why the HD2 is better than iPhone 3GS in versus type explanation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9cOMoouatY&feature=related . The HD2 is a versatile device. It has the capability of running Windows Mobile 6.5, Windows Mobile 6.5.x, and new to the device many versions of android. I personally enjoy its big 4.3 inch screen. It has a pretty good 5 megapixel camera with a dual LED flash.
Exception: The phone overheats alot!

That's funny,

There are way to many phones out there to choose from. Money is also a variable. I have a HTC Doual Touch and I am happy with it for now. I am aware that it is not the best but it is good enough.

Whats funny is this was a monutmental breakthrough in cellular phones. The precvious model looked like a car battery with a phone on top. My neighboor got the first car/cell phone ever made and showed it off to the neighboorhood. It was funny because no one ,,,, got it. No one understood what that big ass cynderblock represented and what it would lead too. So when ever I see the older cell phones I think back to the original and laugh thinking, if you'd been carrying that car battery the past 2 years this thing looks like its from startrek.

I here there will be a new Brick just around the corner

WTF, mine never overheated, and im using it so hard >.<!
my favorite is the htc hd2 too, but thats because i love winmo, and i love the option to boot android too (wich works just awsome, better then i thought).
but for a totaly new person, i wouldnt recommend to buy a winmo 6.5 phone, cause that OS is sadly dying more and more, and the hd2 will probably the last winmo device.. ;(
i would wait for a new phone to come out..

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=599210

I'd go for the hd2, I don't own it. But I like the device.
sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...

Now i have a motorola dext. pretty good phone, really.
But i love the NexusOne and the HD2, if i have money i buy one.

I love my HD2. Even before I Android running on it. WinMo is smooth as silk on it. I love options too.

I love my diamond,if i have money i would buy a desire!

Well,mine is the Desire.I own it,I love Android,I love the device itself and would recommend it to everyone!

Thanks for the Replies

Wow, everyone seems to LOVE the HD2 here, and HATE it on howardforums.
I really don't know what to do. :/

i just got my new n shiny galaxy s n i m just lovin it..

To me:
Android: Dell Streak
Winmo: HD2
WinPhone 7: whatever next from HTC

I love my X10a, it's super good looking

I have a vibrant and hd2...I don't like my hd2...I would say any of the new samsung galaxy s phones with the new bright colorfull screens!

[Q] Best hardware keyboard of any phone that you've ever used?

They aren't fashionable these days, but for texting and emailing, they are still very practical. Out of curiosity, what do you consider to be the best hardware keyboard that you've ever used on a cell phone? Why?
Personally, I think that the HTC Touch Pro 2 was the best keyboard that I ever used because of its excellent layout. I also firmly prefer 5-row keyboards, which is one reason why I choose to import my Samsung Epic 4G and use it as a wi-fi device. The keyboard also allowed me to type at a decent WPM rate.

I'm hoping for an Android phone with a similar layout. The G2/Desire Z is a 4-row keyboard and I think that the hinge might snap on that phone.
Note: Please back up your opinions with why if you are going to post a new keyboard.

Without question, the Touch Pro 2.

I absolutely agree, I can only hope there will be a newer model with a keyboard this awesome some day!

hTC Universal has been byfar the best kb device I ever used, of course my Rhodium was a great experience too but never compared to the magnificent kb and rotating pivoting screen of the Uni
Let´s see the Touch Pro 7, hope it will continue the great line of business/kb devices

There's also the new HTC 7 Pro, which is a Windows Phone 7 device. It appears to resemble the Touch Pro 2.
Lets phone for an Android version soon.

TP2 easily. So much space, and so comfortable.

You could have easily made the title of the thread:
Everyone reply to this by saying "Touch Pro 2"
...and gotten basically the same results.

At least one person thinks the HTC Universal is a good keyboard.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and not go with the epic 4g or any android phone in general, but rather the lg xenon. (;
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

The SE Xperia X2's keyboard is amazing! It had a good feedback and wasn't too "clickey"
Too bad poor software made this phone basically unusable ...

Rhodium phone for sure.

Why was the G1 so good as keyboard? It didn't feel as good as the TP2, unless you've never used it. Or if you're being sarcastic.

I liked the tp1, moved to tp2 and LOOOved it
I have the epic now and love it too. It's near perfect. (Only issue is when you type fairly fast it begins to mis letters and such...not that often though. Maybe 1 every 25 characters)
Overall tp2, epic and tp1 grade A keyboards
Epic Is As Epic Does

hTC Desire Z is also a good competitor, shame only Android on it...
Hope in 2011 the development of real hardware keyboard devices continues and give us a nice surprise!
Still thinking the best all times keyboard device is Universal

I've never used the TP2, I was answering the question. Best keyboard I have used. My opinion.

Yeah, I like the G1 keyboard. Haven't used the TP2 though it certainly looks decent (layout) in photos.
Waiting for a new Android phone with a keyboard at least as good as the G1. G2 loses because of no dedicated digit row.

The best that I've used is probably my Moments keyboard. I liked the soft keys and the spacing. The worst I've used is probably tied right now. Either the Palm Pre keyboard since it's so small, or the Droid keyboard.

Tizen UI leaks ahead of Samsung I9500 debut(SGS III)

It looks so much like Android.
I'm confused. This may sound like a separate topic but, since Android is open source, does it mean that I can copy it over and change it around and call it MyMobileOS and sell it for money?
Is what XiaoMi phone is doing legal? They just take Google's code and change it around and massively put it on their own phones and sell for money?

nvm. wrong post

i dont like this, if samsung does this, i will just go for the iphone 5.. enough said.

Yeah, finally they have quality products, if they do this...wow

Certainly will be a huge change of OS . . Its ok. . SGS2X will last awhile .......

If anything they will release a phone with this and another equally speced phone with android. No way they are completely abandoning android.

i will definitely move on to the iPhone, or even a wp7 phone if this happens

HTC screens are garbage. I personally think that if Samsung was to go ahead and make this move without continuing to release any Android phones then that would be a negative decision on their part financially.

U would leave android because sammy did?

I seriously doubt the SGSII will have anything but android on it but I certainly don't doubt them making a phone with another OS. look at how many android phones sammy makes. you think they will stop all that?

Tizen is also open source - so you should not pay any money to have it. And looking into the source code - all of the drivers are under Apache License with Samsung as owner. We will probably see Samsung running Tizen soon. Not to mention that Intel is supporting the project hoping that they may enforce x86 instead of ARM processors arch (the same way they are forcing Thunderbird instead of USB). Android got one major flaw - that's the java virtual machine or I should say Oracle.

Looks like a Touch Wiz OS. Low end devices most likely, similar to Bada.

Oh c'mon with the exaggeration.. they're a far cry from 'garbage'!
Samsung screens are nice but the colours (from what I have seen personally) are over saturated in comparison to others such as HTC, which have more natural colours, something a lot of people appreciate.
My best friend has a GS2 and while his screen is nice, it's also tinted yellow because the colour temperature is way off, so the colours on my 1 year old Desire HD actually look better. He's not alone either there's a 200+ page thread on it. Then there's the banding issues people are having on the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note displays.
What I'm getting at is all current screens have their downsides but they're all far from being garbage.

i think that's a new incarnation of BADA OS

It's a bada os, but it'll be open-source this time.
I don't know who need this... Bada failed, Tizen will fail too.

This would be a HUGE mistake. Right now, people love Android, and some of us have quite a bit of money invested in apps and other things. I don't see many devs jumping ship either...
