The Sedna may not be interesting enough for the major audience simply because it is more of a plain business tool than the "usual" HTC cell phone/PDA gadget.
Yes, the Sedna has a fingerprint scanner and yes, the display is outdoor proof and can be used in bright sunlight. Yes, the Sedna plays video files without stuttering, even from a memory card. BUT: the Sedna is HUGE, like a PDA on steroids and the great outdoor display is horrible for watching videos since it looks somehow dull and the colors look washed-out.
To make it short: the Sedna may be a very interesting product from HTC but it can't do anything perfect and it definetely isn't usable for multimedia stuff, not even watching pictures. So why would people spend so much money for it if it is actually useless to them?!
With a better(more vivid) display and an extractable keyboard, the Sedna could have been a real hit. Right now it is probably exactly what HTC made it to be: a business tool for specialized applications.

So clean watchable video on a big but slightly dull screen or an irritating experience on a stuttering, slightly brighter smaller one. Not a no-brainer I'd have thought.
The WM6 keyboard is a real turn-off though. is there any chance that the finger-friendly keyboard from the Touch could be ported to the Sedna? (awful name incidentally).
And a question that's been asked elsewhere - can us poor schmucks who are stuck with sim-locked Sednas solve that problem by substituting the generic HTC roms that generous members have posted to the forum? Incidentally, the Orange UK rom (ver 1.10.61.2) seems to be a lot earlier than the generic one.
And my thanks to notisz! The p6500 may be a bit of a minority sport, but it does have real assets including a pretty good camera.
Oli told me that soon there will be a section for sedna and dont worry people oli managed to sim and cid unlock mine and now im using the rom i have found on wiki. Contact him and im sure he will help you. Also im using the pocket cm keyboard with iphone skin...much better
Yes!!
Yes it's clunky
Yes it's heavy
Yes it's Industrial
Yes it's Expensive
But I think it's Cool!
Just got mine two weeks ago and can't live without it
I carried a Blue Angel for almost 3 years and this is everything and more (except for the sliding keyboard I really didn't use that much)
It's a Blue Angel plus not 1 but 2 SDHC slots!
Add GPS, a 3MP camera and a sweet belt case from Piel Frama and I couldn't be happier
Not a perfect device as someone has said, but it's close!
Its by far the best htc model if you dont mind the size and NO VIDEO PROBLEMS. The only thing i miss now is a nice wm6.1 rom like those beautiful i use with my polaris.....Please Bepe and all other rom makers something for our sedna!!!
Double post please delete

Excellent that a forum/thread is being created! I do not own the Sedna, but I saw one in the flesh today for the first time, and although large it fits in the normal mobile phone pocket of my suit. It's got better dimensions and is lighter than the Advantage, which I've also considered. It's got a five way scroll wheel. I liked it.

Hi all,
I just picked up my Touch Cruise from ezshop.gr – the online shop of ACE-Hellas – distributor of HTC in Greece.
Yes Cruise is available in limited quantities as they say and you can see the photos as proof.
It seems that Cruise belongs to Greece as ACE-Hellas announced it in public 3 days before HTC officially announced it to the press, in the local DTE exhibition show.
Now
The first Photos of the HTC Cruise in Europe only for XDA users

Fresh News from ezshop.gr !!
Cruise sold out already !!
Mastelos & MinOtaVrS Cruise together !!
Nice, can you provide details on what's in the box? MobilePlant/Expansys doesn't say.
If I look correctly, is the screen black?
There have been a lot of doubts about the screen, if they only have a "silver" version or also the "black" version:
<-- the black version
<-- the silver version
Is this really a difference, or is it just the light?
And how does the screen reflect? Is it too much?
in the box there ac/dc socket, usb cable, ear phones, stylus,protection sheath,cd manual.

Thanks man. Look great. Enjoy your new device.
Awesome. They make quite a pair. Both sharp looking devices. Looks like you might be able to tell us if accessories are compatible too.
One HUGE question I think everyone is wanting feedback on is video playback. Since you have an Artemis, this should also be a good comparison. Do you use the Artemis for Vids? If so, what codecs and rates do you use, and does the Polaris do a better or worse job with the same file encoding(s). I think there is a suspician that the Polaris will be similar to the Kaiser (since it uses the same chipset) and the video playback will be poor.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351986
This will likely be a make or break issue for me, so any advice would be very welcome.
You have any Artemis cradles or holders? If so does it fit?
Yes the assessories of Artemis are FULL compatible with Polaris we have a brando Car holder and fits exactly..
The first impressions of vids are Perfect, Artemis lag not appears with Polaris we continue the tests and we inform u, The tube also is too fast no cracking like Artemis.

Sweet! Specifics on file encodings would be very helpful and enlightening.
Apparently the issue also affects game play. Not much for games on myself, but I know many others are very interested.
Awesome! I love the black colour that ya got. I wonder if they come in white as well.
Do let us know if you happen to try out stereo BT, and to see whether the music skips while playing high quality stereo. Most PPCs sucked in that...
Thanks!

Upload to rapidshare an already testing by u vid to test with polaris And off course describe the problem to see if it happens

Checking in!
Just to share a thought. Looking back more than a year ago, I had to spend some good effort hunting for the TyTN 1 (Got the first available variant model Taiwan CHT9000). This year alot of decent phones came out, making decisions much harder to make. I guess it is good news...
The Raphael would be a dream keyboarded WM 6.1 micro SD device but since I currently own the HTC Diamond and Apple iPhone 3G. I have to double think before getting this. May be I will have the Diamond sold and get the Raphael.
The iPhone lacks AD2P Bluetooth which is a serious draw back. The battery is non swappable, no memory card (not really a big deal cos the itunes sync is much more reliable than Active Sync ).
Feel free to share your thoughts!
Wow, you really are a "PPC-Warrior" with all those devices :O.
drivers?
Shall we get the Raphael?
Mmm that depends of the performance of the gpu,
or presence of a graphic driver!
Does anybody has information about this issue?
Does it take SDHC or just regular microSD?
takes SDHC up to 32GB
I had a dream...
What about the famous HTC Dream. its been long roumered to be out before year ends. Would it be worth waiting for I wonder.
I have so been waiting for this device to hit the shelves. HTC should have had this thing available 2 weeks ago or at least made some noise about it. Imagine if people knew about this!!
Apple sold 1 million Iphones here in Australia in the first 3 days and you cant even type on the damn thing without having to constantly correct yourself if you have fingers bigger than what my 5 yr old has and the GPS cant speak directions, no messenger and list of draw backs goes on.
I'm just hanging for this thing to arrive.
Will the Raphael have the same diamond back as the ,uh, Diamond? I read somewhere that the diamond doesn't lay flat on the table. I also read somewhere that there will be an optional flat back. Any thoughts?
The T-mobile branded Raphael has a flat backcover...
I can't really think of any reason not to buy a Raphael. This looks like the perfect device for current standards. And I don't think it has any serious flaw, which kept me from buying other devices (like the video issue on Tytn II for example).
The Raphael looks indeed quite great to me, but I like the screen size of the Xperia. Would there be a reason not to go for the Xperia?
The only thing that's putting me off is the screen size. 2.8 inches really isn't very big, especially when you're used to the Universal and its wonderful 3.7 inch VGA screen.
The xperia 3 inch screen isn't much bigger than the touch pro, plus I prefer the touch pro styling. I also wonder if the xperia's WVGA screen will cause software compatability problems?

1. maybe software problems with that screen solution
2. no video out
3. probably no (or not a lot) support by the chefs and professionals in this community for that hardware...
4. no release date avaliable

I have read the keyboard is awful. Unless they improve it before releasing, which is highly unlikely because that would change the design, I wouldn't buy it, afterall the main reason for me to choose Pro instead of Diamond is the keyboard, which is considered excellent by some people who had a chance to use it.
thanks, your arguments make enough sense to reconsider my liking. I wish the Diamond Pro would have a 3' screen ;-)
I heard that X-Peria is going to be released only in oct end , so thats quite some time whereas Raphael is scheduled to be launched on aug 5th i guess.
I am eying on the Raphael.

the physical screen size of the X1 is only 0.2" than the Raphael...
A good reason not to go the X1 is the wonderful Xda-developers forum
Another is that it's a bit delay
Personally the perfect phone for me would be a Diamond with micro-sd card support and a 3.5" screen with VGA but I sold my prophet and I can't no longer wait for the perfect phone. So, the best for now is the Raphael...
P.S. - Samsung Omnia is also a no go for me cause it doesn't have a stylus...
Actually the omnia has a stylus which looks like lipsick lol, there's nowhere on the handset to store it thought.. picture below.

Sunlight readable?
I am pretty sure I want to get the Touch Pro over the Xperia X1 apart from one thing. The reviews of the Xperia say it's screen is readable under direct sunlight. People I know with the Diamond say it is not.
I've spent the last year with the Tosh G900. It also has the 800x480 like the Xperia but it can't be seen outside. I was thinking that all these small screen high res phones were unreadable in sunlight. Maybe there is a problem with transflective displays at this pixel density?
The Touch Pro has a lot of advantages over the X1, 5 rows of keys, TV out and 640x480 screen (this is better I now know after living with the 800x480 for year and finding loads of apps that wont work). But I like to use TomTom while cycling so sunlight readable would be quite a bonus...
This phone so nearly does everything that I've been waiting so many years for, apart from decent camera with optical zoom and OLED screen. Guess I'll have to wait a few more years before I'm completely happy!
actually the diamond is the first pda/phone i have that the light sensor really works, if there is too much sun he will increase the display light, for me it is quite readable ( better than x7500 for example )
E-Ten have kindly loaned me a Glofiish V900 review device which isn't due out just yet, and I thought other members may want to know more about it, please see my quick hands on review on our site 4winmobile.com here .

Prices have yet to be announced, but should be competitive as E-Ten devices usually are.
Excellent stuff boz also a great review!
This will be my next phone as soon as it comes out...
Can you please tell me how good the DAB radio is?
Any idea on a release date?
Thanks!
The dab radio is part of Freeview in the UK, so all the radio stations for your region should be available and in digital stereo. Don't forget it has an FM radio also.
EDIT:- Sorry the release date should be around the end of September-ish!
Many thanks for the reply boz!
How is the camera, is it any better then Kaiser?
I look forward to its release... time to put my Kaiser on sale.
The camera is FAR superior to the Kaisers, and even has a flash. Overall, it's a far superior device, and is much much faster; but it still has a few quirks that will need sorting before they ship it to market.
The GPS is WAY more sensitive than the Kaisers' too, and even got a lock when I was in a jet last week! 37,500 feet up, 499mph! The Kaiser couldn't get a lock. TomTom does odd stuff at that speed.

Amazing! This is making me even more eager to get my hands on this device.
Any chance of capture shot?
Thanks for the answers.
Sure, here's one I took whilst doing about 20mph in a speed boat.
It took the image a LOT faster than the Kaiser does, and with no smearing at all. Probably about the best you can expect to get from a cameraphone, to be honest.
It's only slightly let down by not being able to control the compression ration of the resulting jpg files. A RAW file mode would be better.
FloatingFatMan,
That picture does look many times better then any I have ever taken with my Kaiser..
Also, the site below claims to have 32 V900's in stock for sale when we know it's not even released yet?
Do you think it's a scam?
Thanks
http://gadgetboxlimited.shopmania.biz/product.html?c=2616&p=37696
Very probably a scam, yes. I've mailed it to E-Ten just in case.
As for the camera, with the addition of the flash, it's way better than the Kaisers. It's still not perfect, and I've made a few suggestions for changes to the camera application; but it's better that what I get on my Kaiser (especially as mine has a fault and I get those 2 blue horizontal and vertical lines now ).
Once they work a few more kinks out of the review model, it'll be ready for prime time. It's a really nice phone, and remarkably light too, but don't expect it to be as amazing as something like the Omnia is.
I'm working on writing up a full review which I hope to have done soon. I've been pretty sick since getting back from vacation, my tonsils are the size of Polaris missiles right now and I'm running a fever too, but I'll finish it as soon as I can.
Thanks for that.
Can't wait for your review FloatingFatMan.
I'm not a big fan of Omnia and will never buy it. V900 offers features I really want and I also like the foam factor. I nearly brought Gigabyte T600 until this was unvailed.
I hope you get well soon!
P.S. are you in UK?
The camera is impressive I must say, I took this pic today when out riding, and it was taken on a cloudy day under trees in dappled light!
WOW! That is impressive!!
Is there any place I can buy the V900 from at all??
This site is selling some but I have a feeling they are doggy, can anyone verify if they are authentic?
http://gadgetboxlimited.shopmania.bi...c=2616&p=37696
Regards!
Yes I have seen that site but it will be a scam, and as previously mentioned the info has been passed onto E-Ten who have confirmed that no V900's have yet been officially released.
I am afraid you will have to wait for it's release in around a month from now.
Thanks boz!
I guess I will have to make do with any reviews and pictures until its released.
btw, unless I am mistaken - Gigabyte t600 (Digital TV phone) it had a function to record from TV, does the V900 have a recording function too?
With your hands on experience so far - what would you say that you are less pleased with about the v900?
Thanks
Well, it has a tendency to grow pretty warm when charging.... That's something they're working on at the moment. The father flimsy battery cover just passes heat like it's not even there.
i see the thing has FM radio with RDS, does it support TMC?
gonna get the phone once it is out, no more missing my shows due to night classes, im gonna watch them in class!

As we draw near to the end of the 'noughties' i thought it would be interesting to see what everyone thought was the phone of the decade.
This decade has truely been amazing in the tech its brought us, could we have imagined 10 years agao the devices we could get hold of today???
This thread isn't just about the best spec phone but (that would obviously be won be the most recent devices) but should also be about inovation, cult status, tech breakthroughs etc.
I own a HTC hd2 which is simply an amazing phone!!! 1ghz under the hood, 4.2" capacitive screen, HTC sense etc. Saying that though i think the phone i loved the most was my tytn11. When i first got that phone it was like a car with its handbreak on! eventually the mechanics here on XDA lifted the hand break to create arguably one of the best devices of the decade?
Also as this decade cames to an end a massive thank you to all the devs here at XDA, we, HTC, and Microsoft wouldn't know what to do with out you!!! Heres to the Next 10 years, what will we have in our pockets then????????

Like your thread mate, very well presented but its not the phone of the decade. seems like you jumped the gun in 2008???
Kovski - Sony Ericsson Xperia = HTC???
You are doing lots of polls but i want to know what people think? Its not a straight forward as one better than the other, its about (as i said in my first post) inovation, cult status, tech breakthroughs etc not just about people having the newest device so 'voting for that!'
I'm encouraging people to discuss their thoughts on this so this thread is b=very different to yours.
Oh and putting Please just vote do not post, even if your device is not on the list isn't the way to construct an accurate poll!!
Thanks for your constructive opinions, I got your point and you got mine
On that case I would say that the phone of the decade is HTC Universal

Y'know, technically there's still another year of the current decade left.
Mine is....
My phone of choice is the palm treo 700w. It was the first phone to get me hooked on wm. Since then i have had the tp, and now i have the tp2 and hoping to get one of my hands on that beautiful hd2. Happy almost Christmas.
HTC's Magician
phone of the decade= HTC's Magician
why= First phone that blew my mind, so small and powerfull (backthen ) 400 mhz, faster than my ipaq!!! I still have the orange m500 version as paper weight I believe the Magician is the true first mainstream smartphone.
For me it is the Apple Iphone due to it pushed mobility to the next decade.
Nokia N95.
Close the thread!
Seriously, 5MP camera, GPS, music, browser, email - it had it all before any other phone did. Some are still trying to catch up. It's a clear winner!

This device was/is packed full of features but lacked......... class? again when this first came out it had a big impact. Issues let it down a bit i think like the fact that the gps was locked to Nokias own navigation software, not much software for it, and the build quality (to me) was terrible?
I have the HD2 but have to agree on the Nokia N95.
The camera is better than any other phone out there still, HD2 comes close though.
It's a bloody tough phone! My brother has dropped his millions of times, cracking the screen and everything and the thing still worked.

Catch all the action live!
Looks like apple is having the same problems as google did with the WIFI there.
You would think that apple would of done something about concidering they came weeks after google and had to of watched their presentation.
And it looks like they won't be able to show some of the key features on the iphone 4... On day one it already gets a black eye.

Farm ville on iPhone
oh okay orb no problem, xda is a win mob fan site (Me too ) but same time there are some apple fan boys here. This might be useful for them ha ha
It is relevant as most users here are used to phone hardware that is far more advanced than the iPhone.
Not anymore. Yes iPhone OS still sucks and of course there is no hardware keyboard, but the new phones display alone is enough to make me a little jealous. 960x640 makes the 800x480 screen on my Rhodium feel like QVGA. When will WE get display's like this? WinMo obviously never will, and WP7 only supports up to 800x480.
I assume Android could support this resolution, but when? Imagine the HD2's 4.3" display at 960x640! LCD pr0n it would be. HTC needs to get on this quickly.
Wow impressive, Video chat over wi-fi and the app which enables this is FaceTime. Cool.
video chat and the book apps is just bs. On the other hand - the screen, the camera (+LED flash), the processor, and the antenna seem like good innovations. Hate to say it, but... Well done, Apple.

You are right mate
I really hate to sound even a tiny bit pro Apple but what exactly about this new iPhone is fail? Besides the screen size it meets or bests the HD2 in the hardware department. The 960x640 resolution is well beyond anything HTC has produced (or plans to?); considering one of the main perks of our WinMo and Android phones has been the high resolution screens this point alone is pretty important.
Imagine Android hacked onto this new iPhone. Might make it arguably the best non-hardware-keyboard phone out there currently.
Hardware keyboard is still a requirement for me so it is an obvious no go. HTC has some catching up to do now, I do hope they soon announce a new Android phone with as high of a greater a resolution (and screen size, obviously) than the new iPhone.
I agree with MooGoo, further what i have heard is this new iPhone 4G has only 256 MB Ram and dont know how they though that they are going to do multitasking with that?? Either the Phone will slow down or battery power leak or can't open as many application as on win mob. But who knows may be they have done something innovative for that too.
Hardware seems nice. Software is disappointing though, I was expecting them to more towards the cloud a bit more and maybe cut that iTunes leash.
