what phone - General Topics

OK im very new at this and i was wandering if you guys can give me a hand
im with verizion and im looking for a new phone i have never had a pda or ppc and im looking for a very customizable one i was looking at the vx6800 and the i760 but like i said i got no idea. il look at any phone i can use on verizon
oh anyone know anythang about the verizon glyde?

well no answers?

HA! The XV6800 is from HTC, and this forum is mainly based on HTC PDA's so you'll find more topics and customiztions for it. But the biggest thing to remember is, your gonna spend a nice chunk of change for it, so make sure you pay for the one that suites you best. Go to the store and mess with them a bit.

Please help a complete newbie

I have been reading over these forums for a few days and have came to the conclusion that I need help from more experienced people.
I currently have a blackjack II, it serves me well but i would like something I can "play with more". Plus for the life of me I cannot get tmobile working properly on it.
So here is my question out of the Tmobile phones which is currently the best of skype and messaging. Thats all I am concerned about and call quality. being able to mod it is a plus since I get bored very fast.
i was looking at the wing, I really like the tilt and know pretty well from reading how to sim unlock. But once again theres the stupid tmobile settings.
Sorry for the newbie question. i have used search and the phone selection database but also wanted a more opinion of actual users. BTW my price range is around $250 give or take.
Thanks to anyone that can help
The newbie xda girl
stupid t-moblie settings? I'm a tmoblie user and ive had no problems with the tilt, wizard, or wing.
I haven't had any issues setting up any other phone other then the Blackjack II. Sorry if I seemed incompetient in my posting of "stupid settings" But it can be rather frustrating.

Raphael or Dream?!

Hello,
I want to buy a new mda and i'm torn between a Raphael and a Dream...
I'm having trouble choosing between these two.
I mean i'm very curious about the Dream, running Android and all, but on the other hand, looking at the tech. specs, Raphael seems a bit more packed and i could still use IGO. Kind of got used to WM i guess; i currently have a Nike200...
Could anyone please tell me what's your opinion, which one would you choose...?
Thanks.
WM or Android
Welcome to forums
I´ll choose Rapahel definetly
I think Android OS is not mature yet, perhaps in a few years but not now.
Just my 2 cents.
read , search, respect and enjoy!
Good luck,
well..im having a dilemma now too..i tot of buying android phone..but i love to taste the window mobile phone..but i suggest u to take raphael like what orb said is true..but if u have little more money to spent on android phone i would take both.cos i want to get familiar with the OS...
Thank you for the replies. I guess I just needed a little push towards HTC Raphael...
Great choice!!
Then go to Wiki and to Raphael secton and enjoy!
If you are not in a rush, you could even go for the Touch Pro II. T-Mobile already has it available and it is roughly the same that AT&T, Sprint, etc are charging for the Touch Pro/Fuze.
But I agree with orb, Android is far from being done (although the Hero interface does look pretty neat)!

Should I go with the Samsung Propel Pro?

I've been looking for a new phone for the past month, and today I have to make my decision.
For those of you who have a Samsung Propel Pro, or have used it for a while, I've got a few questions for you guys.
How is it?
Is it easy to put apps and other things on it?
How do you connect it to the computer?
Any annoying bugs on it?
Im not really a business man since i'm still in high school, should I still go with this phone? I've looked at other phones and they're either cheap looking or touch screen, which I don't really like since its sort of hard to text and can be sort of laggish at times..
Welcome to forums
We are an HTC devices only forum, so my recommendation is:
Go for an HTC device!!
I would go with an HTC PureT, and thats like the only HTC phone there is for AT&, but its a little bit over my budget :\ Could you PM me a WinMo based forum?
winmodevs.com
In fact a lot of non HTC users members are on that site
have a look on marketplace section
you can get sometimes a real good deal!
If you like to flash roms & customize, then go with HTC & XDA
There arent as many people there as there are over here lol.

Centro Hacks?

I've dug around a little and Google doesn't really show anything. But does anyone here know if there is a way to flash a palm Centro?
I know it sounds silly, but i happened to get a Centro free on contract with Verizon when i renewed and kept my old phone (Treo 700w) active on the account, i didn't want to pass up a free phone since i figured it should be hackable to some degree.
Any Advice?

Welcome to forums
Perhaps some of the tweaks here can work for your centro:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=466
Hope it helped and good luck,
I had thought to post there, but since they deal specifically with WinMo based Palm handsets, i figured general would be a good start.
But i guess i'll go see if any of them know of anything.
Thanks

Hello everyone

Hey guys, my name is Sean and I'm from Pittsburgh PA.
So I believe I found the right place here at xda-dev. I just got a Touch Pro2 with sprint. The guy I bought the phone from offered me one with newer firmware but I told him I wanted the one with the oldest (in case some vulnerabilities were patched), so I think it is WM 6.1 or something, definitely not 6.5. Anyways, when I go to setting -> about is says TouchFLO 3D 2.1.38416.1; what other information can I find as to my version that may be of use to me?
I am sorry I am such a newb at this. Basically, I want to get the most out of my phone as possible (hell, it cost me 300$ [no rebate since I have an older data plan]) and do not even know where to start. There is so much information on these forums I am having a hard time making sense out of it. If anyone could give me some information as to how to figure out what I can do or some recommendations I would very much appreciate it. Thanks
-Sean
edit: I have been looking through the wiki and faqs so please give me a bit more insight other than steering me to their direction. Thanks again
I suggest you look on ppcgeeks for more cdma based TP2 information. Most of the people on the tp2 section there are sprint users.
thanks
thanks for the advice. ill check it out.
you're going to want to upgrade to 6.5, you can do so much more! and check out ppcgeeks.com.
So a few days back I installed mightyrom and about 20 cabs. Wasn't that difficult once i figured it out. Thanks for pointing me to ppcgeeks.
That's about it, but, what kind of stuff do you guys put on your tp2?
my personal favorite is slingbox, nothing like having a portable cable box that makes calls .
is it possible to play netflix's watch instantly on the tp2? That would be awesome.
