Hey guys! I'm just wondering if you could give me some advice. I'm a little upset. Lol.
I used to be a hardcore BB user until my company wouldn't give me anymore short of paying about 400 euros (argg...) so no. THey did give me the HTC Touch Dual for about 100 euros, which was a good deal, but I'm upset with how long the battery lasts! I generally keep IM applications open all day 24 hours a day on my blackberries, and I would finish the day off even with heavy IMing ALL day, emailing ALL day and browsing the web a little and would still have 40-50% on a regular OEM 1000 mah battery. Now with the HTC touch dual, I hardly ever IM, and browse the web a little and still e-mail, but I can BARELY BARELY BARELY get through a day IF THAT. I used to leave the IM application on all day, and now in a mater for an hour or 2 with the IM app open, it goes down to 80%. I ordered another battery, and I'm going to try it. 1400mah, so I'll see...
If not, I'm going to sell it off, and look for a new device. Are there any Windows Mobile phones with a QWERTY or SURETYPE keyboard that has a good battery life? I would like it to be 3g, but i've lived forever without it, so I don't mind it not being 3g. All I need is a GOOD battery consumption + qwerty or suretype keyboard.
Thanks.
Kent.
Found one!!!!

Ohh how much for the Barbie phone? I hear it has bluetooth 3.0, and HSPDA 100mbs. It's highly intuitive if you get the brain implant. lol.
Joking aside, if I can't get that barbie phone, I'd think about the TYTN but how long does the battery last for? I mean, it's already a large device (but having a BB Curve & 8800!) I'd say this is also a large device, and I don't mind. But if I'd need an extended battery for THAT Phone... I'd kill myself. lol.
with microsoft exchange active (on 'push') the tytn battery is very poor (standard battery). same goes for wi-fi use.
i'd get one or 2 extended batteries and keep them as spares/backups.

I came across this looking for a replacement for my MDA, want a better one. Look at this one on http://www.jarengoh.com/
Its a XScale 400MHz and 4MP camera, and WM5..... Coming out soon. What do you think?
tried PIE and wm5 opera I think you might have a dead link
matrix849:
Try desktop browser. The whole page is one big flash so I doubt anything on the PPC will show it properly.
weezy:
It looks great, but they don't say what it has (hardware wise) besides the camera and WiFi.
Is there BT? How much memory? Screen resolution? Is it a Smartphone or Pocket PC based? (touch screen?)
It's not on the products page of the company they gave the link to, so I don't see anything to be excited about yet.
From memory, I believe this is supposed to cost around $300,000, with the White Diamond consumer end model around $4000.

Yep, bang on it's on the website at $300,000 available 2007
I think I'll buy two
Buying that phone you would think does it come with 8 rooms and a five car garage. Still good phone to look at :lol:
Addition to the design phones
Hi people,
Here are two additions to the design phones. Both are concept though.
But still are really wicked.
So have a look and let's hope the companies do build such smartphones.

I don't know the rules about forum swearnig but "F**k me!" that's a breath taking phone...even more breath taking than the V3 RAZR and on the same level of breath taking as the Vertu range, which cost around £3,000.
Oh my gosh I've just discovered that Vertu is owned by Nokia Corporation ... so they're just high-end flashy Nokia mobiles?
Uh, what a disgrace!
Nice find
Vertu are hardly high end, feature wise, but they're blingin.
A guy at work here has the Bang & Olufsen Serene, which is also expensive, and damn user unfriendly. But at least it has a motorized self open/close mechanism

Take a look at this too http://keesoo.multics.org/articles/jan2005/se/se_design.htm
This is strange looks like Wizard (designer is so impressed I think)
All of these jaw-dropping / mouth-watering / breath-taking phones are just pure luxury...I think I'm just going to have a heart-attack and collapse ontop of the Pool table.
:lol:
Been a long time HTC user, my first was a Prophet (Orange M600) and loved it before moving up to a Kaiser (O2 XDA Stellar) before getting a Rhodium (Direct HTC Touch Pro2, no airtime mess) and they've all been brilliant.
Now I'm out of contract and not liking the looks of WinMo at the moment, I was perfectly happy with 6.5 but seems like MS have other ideas, so I'm quite tempted to go 'droid and the Desire being the pick of the crop so it seems.
Thing is it's been out a little while and maybe a replacement is due soon? Plus I've kind of got used to the hardware keyboards and going back to onscreen on my Prophet is not fun (or even using the Rhodiums when in it's overboard waterproof pouch when I'm out cycling - in case of rain) so that kind of puts me off.
I've seen some rumours for a HTC Vision but to be honest the design doesn't fill me when awe and the keyboard looks like a step back to the Kaiser days.
So what can people recommend? Will I get over my hardware keyboard addiction with a Desire, will I be best waiting a month or two (pretty hedonistic so probably won't wait more than that) or is there a handset out there that I've overlooked that would be ideal for me?
P.S. - no iPhones, tried a 3G and had a look at a four a guy at work had and simply loathe the things.
IMO Currently I wish I had an Android phone of my own. Right now I have TP2 with WinMo 6.5, its decent and ok for now, but Android seems much more appealing to me.

Just some phones you could look at.
Thanks for the recommendations - based in the UK so the Evo is out I'm afraid. GalaxyS doesn't look half bad so might have a read up on it.
Being an IT Engineer I've slated Dell for years so wouldn't be able to show my face holding one of those (though the size on it you probably wouldn't be able to see my face holding one ).

hi guyz ,
since honeycombe announced and i am saving money to buy honeycombe tablet but i need help!!
seems like the most known tablets are so expensive and even made me more reluctant to buy them (i didnt like LG) so i have to options the XOOM and the galaxy tab 10.1v,i cant wait for the new GTab coz i hv no one can bring it with him and 28th of this month is my dead line....
so i need your help do you recommend the XOOM to me? is there any bugs/problems with it ( i'll buy the wifi version only)? is it weight a huge problem as media have said? what about the screen is it bad that much?
the Gtb 10.1v is more expensive the XOOM but also with 3G, lighter weight and better screen (as others said,i dont know), but taking in mind in SA it $900 (while the XOOM $600 32GB) it doesn't have an HDMI port and for 16GB
i am stuck in here so i need your help please...
P.S i really care about the updates/support and the performance
Weight is no problem for me. Even when reading comics for a long ass time, I would just switch hands.

If you want updates and support, then I would choose Xoom (and I did).
thanks guys i think the XOOM is my choice!!
Hey,
got them yesterday, using one today. Hard to compare something with flashing new ROMs etc., but they seem at least not worse then the original one

Have a look at item-no: 220816973218 at ebay.de
The price is amazing and they arrived during one week. They use 4.2V instead of 3.7, hope that is not damaging the Sensation but I saw this voltage at other batteries as well.
When phone is off, not hibernate, LED stays orange even when fully charged.
So after one day of using I would recommend this anyway.
Edit: brand is GaliliO
I think this is more like 1400mah than 2500...
Take it to some electronic shop and get it tested while it's fully charged. Youw ill see most of these will not come over 1200 yet alone 2000.

I know these specs are most likely not to be true. Anyway, the batteries are still not worse then the original one, I think even a bit better, and maybe they are getting even better with a few charging cycles. That still has to be determined.
Anyway, the price is still amazing for 2 batteries with charger, even with only 1400mAh which has been not proven, yet.
I would not believe that they are really 2500 mAh. If you are lucky they will not die soon. Usually if I buy a chinese battery they don't last long.
well, you can moan all you want about those chinese batteries... they still work great and last about twice as long as the stock one. Also the LED problem has resolved itself, but that was probably a problem with CWM, anyway.
Hi folks,
I've had my Sensation for 3 days tops and something has happened to the back cover. It doesn't wipe off, have absolutely no idea what caused this.
Pretty poor considering it's two days old and treated with kid gloves, couldn't have looked after this phone more if I tried. Crazy.
My GS2 is still prestine, not a mark or scuff anywhere.

ive had the exact same problem, treated phone with super care. i sent it in last tuesday because of this... makes no sense :<
Nothing like that on either of my two back covers. I'd get it exchanged.

ffs... you had to send the entire phone back?
I've changed roms and allsorts already.
Yeah I'd ask HTC to supply you a new one, not acceptable really. Probably only a minor problem on a select new units because the build quality is usually top notch.
I've emailed HTC via the customer service channels on their site and attached a pic. See how it goes. Sending the entire phone back would be ridiculous. Cost them more in shipping, hassle and man hours.
I had a similar issue I think with my original cover. I had it less than 10 days, always on micro cloth etc. and I had a spot in the back cover. Of course everyone here will tell you it is something you are doing wrong but I handle my phones with the greatest care and always get top dollar for resale.
In the End HTC sent me a new cover and I have not had anymore problems so far, knock on wood..
T-Mobile have said I would need to replace the whole handset if I go through them. I hope HTC have a better answer, got it setup how I like, the battery is warmed up and broken in nicely too.
