Hi,
I'm looking to get an HTC p4000. Looking from comments from someone who has used both. Anyone think its a worthy upgrade? Or should I stick with the wizard? I see that it has a 400 Mhz processor but since they're both by different companies, I dont think it means a 2x performance boost. Other than that the only good thing i see are dedicated start and ok keys, and a jog wheel.
I am not sure how much memory (RAM) does titan has. If it has more than wizard then its worth upgrade, if not, stick with wizard for a while, and buy a kaiser or rapheal.
Well, the Titan is CDMA correct? If so, then you cant use a SIM card with it as it is not compatible with GSM SIM cards or networks. And also, if I remeber correctly, it has either 128 or 256MB of RAM and is indeed made by HTC(as most WinMo phones are). So you may wanna do some research man before you buy!

I have been a Treo 650 user with cingular for 18 months now and have been happy with it. I have experimented with lots of the software available for download and enjoyed that a lot to. I have been looking for another phone and I just found a post by treonaut on the treo web site all about the MDA. The post was very good and has my attention but still I am very new to this MDA phone and am looking for some info. On the Cingular web site i found the model 8125 and am very interested in that cell. I think the 8125 is an MDA type cell, not sure if the MDA is a particular model or a catagory type cell. Next, as with the Treo 650 there is tons of software downloads to play with and experiment. Is there any software out to do the same with for these MDA cells? In particular the 8125? If so, ware do I find it all? I have been useing the xWeather program for my Treo and would hate to have to give it up along with many other programs that I use on my Treo. Next, are the sim cards the same? Can i use one from my 650 in the 8125 type MDA cell? OK, no more questions for now, I will stop here. I would really like to buy the 8125 after reading what treonaut had to say but will not jump. Thanks for any help offered ...
To answer your questions:
1. Cingular 8125=Tmobile MDA=HTC Wizard with each having very minor modifications.
2. Tons of software are also available for download for the 8125. All that stuff you saw in my review I did with built-in software or with freebies. I also have a program that puts the weather data on my Today page. To date, I have not bought a single WM5 program. Search xda-developers in the Wizard section. Also read the very good MDA and 8125 faqs over at howardforums.com. In general any program designed for Windows Mobile 5 (WM5) and the ARM processor should work with this series of devices. So do a google search for goodies.
3. Sims remain the same. I sometimes swap sims between the MDA and the 650 without a problem.
4. Check out Amazon.com for better pricing on the 8125/MDA.
Thanks very much for the info. I will check it out and most likely get the 8125 soon.. I want to make sure I know ware to get all the extra programs and understand how to install them. I have no clue about what cables i will need to hook it to my notebook and what software i will need to use to install things. The Treo is easy to install things with the Palm one quick install program so I need to find out what to use to do these things yet. Thanks again.
Wait and buy the 8525. It is coming in few weeks
400MHz processor
HSDPA
Etc..
Just made a deal with Cingular for a new 8125 with my corporate discount for 200 bucks. I will have same number and my 450 roll over plan with the unlimited data package for the same 53 bucks a month. It was a good deal so I took it. Now to find all the tricks and goodies
Which one should i get?
I like the m700 for the GPS, design, smaller size
But the TYTN has more cellular networks, 2 cameras
Is cellular networks important? Im just gonna use it in Canada and get a prepaid card when i travel.
Any suggestions? Pros and cons of each decision?
Maybe you should wait for the Kaiser?
Get HTC Kaiser
I would, but isnt that like twice as much as either of the two options there?
don't go for the eten! its full of bugs and the manufactuar doesn't seem to care.
Be warned. The eten is a verry bad device
I'm planning on ditching Sprint for ATT or T-Mobile because I cant get any international texts. Sprint claims its an issue with the international carriers. However, I was with T-Mob for years with the same number and I got tects from, England, Ireland, Germany, Nigeria etc.
Anyway, does anyone know of a good unlocked HTC PDA phone that will work with ATTs HSDPA(yeah I know about the tilt but it sucks). Any ideas please?
if ur willing to suffer for another month or two, the new Diamond is coming out for tmobile, which (except for battery time) is gonna be a whole new breed of ppc. if ur willing to switch to tmobile then yay for u, especially since tmobile is coming out with new 3G thats faster than ATT. if not im sure that there'll be a way to unlock it within 2 weeks of release. anyway good luck.
I've been eyeing the HTC Cruise(Polaris) lately. Actually I've spent the last 3 hours researching it and i think I'll make the jump. It's gonna force me to go to ATT since it will only work on their 3G spectrum.
It might just be me but I'm not intrigued by the diamond. The only upside is has above the Cruise is the today UI, which I'm sure wil be ported over as a cab once the diamond is released.

Well the diamond also has a faster processor and 4x the resolution screen as well as more ram compared to the Cruise.
www.expansys.com sell unlock phones in many countries
and diamond dont have 4X resolution it got 2X
if it had 4X it would be a 1280x960 device
Newest word is Sprint will release the Diamond on September 2nd with the name Victor and the Touch Pro will go a month later as the Herman.
Some interesting facts:
Both Sprint iterations will have more then double the RAM of Verizon versions, 256 vs. 128.
Sprints Pro will have an accelerometer while the Verizon version will not.
The Pro will have 512 ROM verses the Diamond's 256 ROM.

Interesting info. This goes to prove that in fact the hardware is NOT identical in all phones of a specific model, which goes against what many people here have said about the Diamond.
Sprint
I guess if your with Sprint, you get the better end of the deal!!!

I would be to disagree there. The Sprint version gets the better ram the Raphael has with 4gb of built in memory, but the Verizon version just get ram the current Diamond has but it gets a microsd card slot which goes up to 32gb of space at this point in time. I dunno I rather have more space over a slight increase in speed and increase in ram.

Yeah if I had one wish for a feature to be added to the Diamond it would be for it to have a card slot. This Verizon version does it. Too bad I'd rather have my private parts eaten off by rabid wolves than have anything to do with Verizon or Sprint.

well said...I would never deal with sprint or verizon (having tried them both)!
Kind of a mystery why HTC or Verizon would take away the accelerometer. I dunno I have had more luck with Verizon than AT&T.
Verizon has way better coverage that AT&T & Sprint in my area.
If those specs are true from Phonearena, I would pass on better coverage and have a solid/full featured phone.
Verizon version of the Touch Pro is slower, less RAM, no accelerometer.
I'm a power user and I need processing power and memory, but I also know that developers will be incorporating the accelerometer in their software (ie iPhone). Verizon has no business sense and their phones are crippled (BT profiles, etc). I'm leaving them for Sprint or AT&T, whoever offers the Touch Pro first.
My Samsung i760 isn't crippled at all in terms of bluetooth, and neither is my sister Moto Q9c and my friends Touch. What is ISM? Because the slower Qualcom chip has 64mb ism while the faster has only 32mb ism.
The boys over at PPC Geeks have figured out that Best Buy will start selling the diamond at 729.00....steeeeeppp, I am sure this is out of the box unlocked though.
I read Telus is selling the Diamond(not sure if it is 4gb model or sd slot model) for $150 on a three year contract and $350 for a two year.
Has anyone heard any rumours/updates on the next device that would replace the HTC Advantage X7510?
I had a 7501, which I replaced with HTC Shift.
I am looking for a real good messaging device and the keyboard on the advantage was awesome.
The HSPDA speeds seems dated since a number of carriers are going to be offering HSDPA+ this year.
Do you see this as co-existing with netbook or replacing a netbook?
I am in Canada, ideally device with UTMS 850/1900 would work, 2100 band does do work in Canada.

Search in google for Htc Thoth , it's a x7510 replacement , supposed to be out in September 2009 , but may delay due to Wm 6.5 / 7 os . Looks pretty superior Snapdragon processor , keyboard may be slightly improved from x7510 , hopefully it's a 32gb flash drive or similar , let's wait and see . For Shift replacement , it depends Htc Taiwan got the balls to fight it out with the rest of the world leading netbook manufacturers ! Thanks for reading and best regards - jimmunsw

Yes good Info guys also multitouch screen, upgreadable to WM 7.0,more skinny less weight,4.8 MT 800X480 sceen,smaller size,micro sd up to 64GB instead of mini sd.
There's still a lot of confusion regarding the upcoming HTC high end devices. Some commentors are saying the HTC Leo is the successor to the Athena, though it doesn't have a hardware keyboard.
It is possible the Thoth may also appear later, like a Leo with an external keyboard but details are sketchy
