T-Mobile is NO HELP .. Maybe someone here has had some luck, I have searched for the answer, sorry if I missed it, but I can't connect to the internet - I used the settings internet2.voicestream.com - and checked and unchecked "... connects to the internet" Still not connecting. As I said, Tmobile won't help for 2 days because I just added internet to the phone. But in the past, connecting was almost immediate.
Can you connect via wi-fi?
Is this T-mo US? When i first got my Touch Cruise with the cheap 5.99 t-mo web plan this did not work. Now there might be some settings you can change but i was never successful in figuring it out, so in the end i upgraded to the unlimited data plan for $20/month and worked right away with just using the connection wizard.
I have the $20 internet plan and also I haven't tried connecting with wifi .. Tmobile escalated my connection problem and the guy told me I have a VPN account and I need to enter internet3.voicestream.com .. they also said there is a gkibal outage tonight .. Anyone else experiencing this ?? Diane
I entered internet3.voicestream.com into my connection settings and opened the browser. It connected to google, right away .. So then I clicked to update TomTom and the phone wouldn't download, got an error .. about the same time my husband walked through the door and I had to turn off the phone and stick it in my purse .. I have a weeee bit of a spending problem when it comes to electronics [phones and umpcs] so I wait until the prices go down a bit before I let him see what I have bought. Trouble is, usually by the time the prices go down, I have sold my gadget and moved on to a newer more expensive toy .. Last week I bought the Samsung Omnia. Hated it immediately and stuck it up on eBay. Sold it in one day and bought this phone. I don't lose a lot of money with the buying and selling - what keeps me poor is the overnight shipping, because I am like a kid at Christmas when it comes to new toys. The coast is clear .. gonna pull out my phone again and try and download the TomTom update .. OR GPS update that is.
haha I'm the same way, that's why my credit cards are so jacked up. Oh well, at least I have a one of a kind phone.

I actually hate talking on the phone. Most of the time I won't even answer it if I am not wearing one of my M-A-N-Y bluetooth headsets . . so if I must have a cellphone, it must be the coolest one on the market. I hope the Xperia doesn't show up too soon.
I have been thinning out my gadgets. Only the new HTC Touch Pro and my Nokia N93 left - Just recently sold 2 out of 3 UMPCs . .My Sony UX390N and my Fujitsu U810 .. Still loving my HTC Shift.
Get the blackberry plan for 19.99 and connect to wap.voicestream.com
When I put my sim in the phone it autoconfigured. When I looked at settings it had wap.voicestream.com
good luck
Not sure if this is of any help but this is some instructions to connect the t-mo wing via the 5.99 data plan. http://www.howardforums.com/printthread.php?t=1366744 (found it just browsing in the wiki section for the HTC herald)
At least with the touch cruise the connection wizard set everything up for me with the $20 plan. I'm suppose to get the Touch Pro tomorrow so once i get it set up i will try to let u know if i encountered any problems or not.

Lucky you are not married to me, we would always be poor. I guess we would have to eat our toys to make it through winter.
I have the Xperia for testing, but I dont find it so cool. The keyboard on my Touch Pro is much better. The Xperia feels like a toy... I dont like SE anyway. Im hooked on HTC (not XTC, but i might spend similiar kind of money).
Just a pain, here in Japan I have to keep my toys sort of secret or Softbank will send a ninija to sort me out...(^ ^)
If any one has any extra Devices they don't want, I'll take your Xperia or TouchPro, if you don't want it.

either click settings, connections, then click network setup and select USA (if you cannot find it use the forum search for "HTC Network cab"), TMob, or use the search for the TMob USA settings. Your rapheal should work in the states (though you will not be able to use 3g you should pick up EDGE)

I am really happy to hear that the Xperia feels like a toy. Saves me some money, yet I am sort of surprised. For example, I had 2 UMPCs .. The Sony UX390N and the HTC Shift. The entire Sony felt much more quality made than the HTC .. Ended up keeping HTC though.
Finding the best UMPC was a gadget buying nightware .. Bought the UX380N and decided I wanted the Shift. So I sold the UX380N and bought the shift. Was disappointed in the Shift, just the way the keyboard felt when it was sliding mostly. So I sold the Shift, bought the UX390N < Different color - all black - I liked that .. a few months passed and I don't know why, but I had problems with the display on the sony when it came to playing my favorite game of Mahjong. Didn't have that with the UX380N - So .. Sold the Sony and bought the Shift again. Giving it another chance. I am still mad though at HTC for not including the phone as promised in the beginning - I did open up FULL windows mobile though.

howd you get this phone on that contract?

I was going to go for that contract , but t-mobile used to be terrible in Bristol , so i'm not sure if it's any better now ..
found it now....http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=171303
i need to wait for phones4u to bring it out so they can buy out the remainder of my contract!
Thats the one buddy, im overly impressed with it. As it only comes with a standard headset i bought...
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=150195
Then these razer headphones ( excellent headphones, cant hear anything else when they are in..perfect for the bike )
http://scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=486536
And an 8GB card
http://scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=847397
All in all an excellent combination, i just wish there was a bug free app that locks the screen when in pocket
So glad i got the actual HTC handset and not some operator branded rubbish * cough vario 4 *
yeah i hate it when the networks put their logos and software all over it.
I am torn between the Touch Pro and the Xperia X1.
I am leaning towards the X1 becuse of the larger screen.
The main reason for getting a new phone is to use the internet more, so i figured a better screen would help me!
can anyone tell me when this comes out for ATT and when i cant wait to get it.....thanks please please please im soooo excited
I'm with you guys... mine arrives on tuesday, ordered today once i knew they'd arrive... booyah! Now to get rid of the tytn ii and the wizard... it was a good run

Working spot on buddy, few reg tweeks ( see tweek thread ), sensorlock, core player etc etc and im loving it !
Ok, so I have a decision to make, and only till Wednesday to make it ...
Currently, I have the Palm Treo Pro. It's a GOOD phone, I LOVE the keyboard and I love how small/light it is. I DO NOT like the proprietary USB of the "end" key as its uber sensitive. Also, most of my programs don't work on the screen (OliveTree Bible, Mud Inc. Pocket Cribbage, and Handmark Monopoly V1) ... so my other options are
HTC Diamond - I get $ back, but, I lose microSD Card or HTC Pro, I pay around $100 more, but I get the microSD Card slot and sliding keyboard.
WiFi is important, and I should point out, I am on the TELUS Network.
HTC touch Pro 2
There are many same subject threads on XDA with further information....

hmmm TP2 ain't on Telus ... not yet ... not till the end of '09 / early '10 when they turn on their UMTS/HSPA
kepp this phone until tocu pro 2 comes out
One more for TP2
Is not the "Perfecrt" device but is one of the best candidates available
THIS IS NOT THE TOUCH PRO 2! This is the Touch Pro. Version 1. Telus Mobility DOES NOT HAVE TP2 yet and won't till probably December or January ...
I think they're all recommending that you wait for the TP2, they understand that you're talking about the TP1. I well third and fourth that notion. If you can wait for the TP2, it'll be well worth it. You'll probably have to pay quite a bit of money without a contract.
However, to answer your question, i'd definitely go with the TP over the Diamond.

I can't wait 14-18 months for the TP2 (which is about how long Telus will take to get it *L* as they have ONLY had the Treo Pro for about a month!) ... I think I'll go on Wednesday and get the Touch Pro.
Then why don't U buy it unlocked from another country next month
Because Telus is CDMA but soon (2010) to be UMTS/HSPA

Where on Earth do you live???? Sahara??? Middle of the Atlantic ocean?
Ok some usefull info for you:
Diamond - has serious heat issues and its very well know to fry its own screen. HTC are constantly fighting people and refusing to repair faulty units. I owned one and then returned it as it could also not play music without jumping/skipping. Both these issues can be easily found by going to the Diamond section of these forums.
TouchPro - (not the TP2 as everyone else seems to have got confused over) Never owned one so comments are limited to what can be read on this forum but, I miss having a keyboard and am now ordering an Asus on Monday that has a keyboard. Typing an email on the Diamond was a pain in the a*&e and its only marginaly easier on the bigger screen of my Omnia.
Palm thingy - never owned one, never used one. Can't comment.
If I HAD to chose between these then in all honesty, i'd probably keep the Palm! Why? HTC build quality sucks donkey balls. Its a well known and easily googled reputation. Its a shame really as they spec out the phones very well and seem to have every intention of making excellent devices, just somewhere the penny pinchers seem to take control and quality drops.
Best of luck with whatever you chose today
edit:
Diamond overheat issue - dont think anymore needs to be said on this
Music link - with $125 reward for fix
Music link - check out how many pages!
And just for good measure, another music link
Very quick google brings up over 32000 hits on hardware quality

Maybe the guy doesn't have/want to spend hundreds of £/€/$ on a phone?
OK so ... I was downtown yesterday, getting my Security Guard License and walked through Toronto Eaton Centre ... and I picked up the Touch Pro.
So far, I'm happy. I'm still testing things out and seeing what is good etc but ALL my games work, all my programs work AS THEY ARE SUPPOSED to, and I'm happy ...

Especially a phone that only does 3G at 2100MHz to use in a country that uses 850/1900.
As the title says I have just brought a new touch pro 2 and I like its keyboard very much. I also have my touch hd and was thinking of selling it but the trade your phone in places will pay £140 and I am wondering if there is any reason I should keep my touch hd?
Do any of you have 2 phones and if so why?

Hi there, i have a TP2 and an Diamond, so that if I brick my TP2, i still have something to mod
It just makes sense to have a backup
What a strange question?
I keep 3 devices (on my sig) because I like them, that´s it

140 that is a ripoff ebay it if you dont want it. also i really like phones i would keep them. just look at my sig.
I keep two smartphones and a dumb phone just in case (a moto razr), check my sig. I keep my dash usually as a back up if i need to go somewhere and im in the middle of flashing my kaiser. That and i flash my kaiser a lot, so if something goes terribly wrong i still have a smartphone i can use. I'd keep it, just in case.

I have actually been asking myself the same question lately as I expect the HTC Supersonic to come out and I have a touch pro 2. For me the question boils down to the following. I need a GPS, I want something i can comfortably surf/watch movies on while I am on the go, I like using my touch pro 2 as a MP3 player, I like using a phone as a email device/RSS reader and I like using my phone as a mobile Instant messenger device and for keeping up with my Facebook.
The problem is I can't use 1 phone to do all things at the same time. I can GPS or I can phone or I can use it as wifi hotspot or I can chat, or I can MP3...
With 2 phones I can GPS on either one and use the other as a phone. When not phoning I can hotspot so on so forth.
Looking at things from the oppositte perspective, I can take viliv s5 or a dell mini 5 and do everything I want to do but phone at the same time. If I get it with 3G I can even hotspot with the mini.
SO I am strongly leaning towards getting a MID device.
Have 2 and right now the Hermes is just a backup.

Those two are good phones, but why do you like the Excalibur? It doesn't look good.
Excalibur is my wife´s telephone and it´s really good one for someone that needs basic functions only
As you can see keyboard devices are my choice
I think most on here have more than one phone, I have a whole host of winmo phones in my collection:
XDA
M1000
2 x Athena
Touch HD
Omnia
Hermes
Spv
Plus a couple of windows PDA's
Next month will be getting an iphone for the wife to use, april will get a desire.

It's a classic device modded more than any other SP of it's time Very well made with a great hardware keyboard
3 in sig as i don't see the point in selling to get a menial amount of money also like to have a back up.
Just like orb3000 the gf uses the Excalibur
i have 3 devices i never really use 2 i have a xda2 i never use not in like 3 years a blackberry curve 8900 i might swap back to soon and current a touch hd. but as soon as i get my android device i will use that as well so 4. but theres no point in me selling any of my devices i will just spend the money on more phones and if i sell my blackberry 8900 id probly get £150 i can't get any phone for that money that would be better than my 8900
Well it depends if you like your second phone or not. If it's sitting gathering dust and you don't have a use for it, I'd suggeest ebaying it as anything gathering dust is just wasted money. As with cars and general tech gadgets they all generally drop in price in time. So if don't have a use for it you are better selling it off sooner rather than later to recoup your purchase.
I have two lines, so the HD2 for my personal, the iPhone 3GS for my work line, and then the Hero is my extra phone.
So the $130-140 per month we pay for our family plan of 700 minutes and unlimited web + text on the NexusOne and LG G2x, is a little steep right now.
I have to say, we are leaving Android™ for a little while.
With both of us unemployed, I should probably stop buying the latest Android™ device that comes out. And I promise I'll stop AFTER I GET MY NEXUS THREE! lol
So I just sold my wifes old Motorola Defy.
I am in negotiations to sell/trade my beloved Nexus One, and also the G2x I just bout two months ago.
Now that just leaves wifeys old MyTouch 3G.
I just bought a Nokia N97 (I might let her keep it as she kinda likes it).
What do you all recommend?
I had a Nokia N73 for a while, then sold it to buy my first HTC Dream.
I've never owned a BlackBerry.
But I'm open.
I would say I am a little media-centric. I take lots of pics and share on Facebook. I used to LOVE editting with PicSayPro before uploading.
I text ALOT!
Facebook a few times throughout the day.
Games, very little.
Go for HTC HD2, since it can run many os'es like wp7, wm6.5, ubuntu and even android, you will never feel like your phone needs android. And if you plan to switch back to android later, you can just install android easily and use it. And the price is not too high, so it might be suitable for you or ur wife Good luck on choosing one.

Spent the past hour scouring the marketplace for one.
I saw a few the past few weeks. But none now
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA!!!
I found one, US Tmo HD2 / extra battery.
I hope he replies!
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
So I've been told I can DOWNGRADE MY ACCOUNT and get this HD2 and request some sort of basic data plan with T-Mobile?
I just had my Google Voice number changed to my local area code after moving from Fort Worth. So I woulnd't even need any text messaging plan, right?
Found another here.
Is $200 good?
I just shot him an offer.
I use an Evo on cricket for 35 dollars a month (wifi only). Sure the inital cost is 200, but once you have the phone its like you aren't even paying a monthly fee.

I don't want to leave T-Mobile.
It's a worthy alternative. But I want to avoid ETF.
Hey guys, so i have been wanting to try out WP7 for a while, i have an opportunity to snag up an arrive on contract. since im on sprint there doesnt seem to be much going on in the WP7 area. id love to have a titan 2 like device or even one i know is going to get the latest versions, however that doesnt appear to be sprints concern.
anyways long story short is it worthwhile for me to put my epic 4g touch off to the side for while and snag the arrive and give it a run for its money? or should i hope that some day sprint brings another windows phone out? (preferably with a bigger screen)
I really like my arrive, WP7 is a great OS, but please do keep in mind that this device is getting long in the tooth. The arrive was brought to sprint over a year ago.
The DFT rom is great and enables internet sharing.
I'd only go for it now if you are enamored with the idea of a hardware keyboard. Otherwise, I'd wait until the summer to see if sprint brings a Nokia WP in.
http://www.sprintfeed.com/2012/03/sprint-developing-lte-windows-phone-with-fall-release-in-mind/
Sprint apparently has a new windows phone in the pipeline but it wont be until the fall, I havent seen any other rumored windows phones for sprint. I love windows phone and the arrive for the most part suits my needs but there is definitely some apps missing when compared to iPhone and Android.
Hope that helps.
I switched to Sprint and grabbed the Arrive when it came out ($50 on contract at the time). I love the phone and love the OS, but I'd hold off because I expect Sprint to feel the Nokia love before the end of the year.
The two gripes I have about the Arrive is that it's only 3G and I don't even have the option for ICS (sans custom ROMs which I'm waiting for those to shake out a little more before I take that plunge). Those aren't major gripes, just the two biggest issues I have with the phone. If you don't just totally hate your phone, I'd stick with it (or look at getting an Arrive from someone who didn't like it and is selling it used). Save your upgrade for the Nokia and I think you'll enjoy it even more.
yea after a bit of searching and deciding on it all im gunna try and pick up an arrive on teh cheap and us eteh upgrade on the new one...
sadly they still want 50 dollars on contract for this phone :/ which is teh same amount as the photon which is less then 10 moinths old

I have had my Epic 4g since launch and after trying Win 8 Preview I wanted to try WP7. I went to a sprint store and tried the Arrive and I liked it. So, I found a refurbished Arrive on ebay to try out for $150 shipped. I'm up for an upgrade. But, I know the flagship phones are coming out at the end of the year and I will save it for that. Have you thought about buying an off contract phone and waitng for the phone you really want?
fwiw you can get the arrive for free on contract from wirefly
I just got this phone due to a finally dead TP2. Rest in Peace TP2. I will miss you so very much.
I really don't know why this device isn't more popular. The keyboard is basically the same as TP2, (best ever), and the phone is lightning quick. It's made very user friendly. Slide to what you want and the learning curve is almost non existent. To each their own I suppose, but for me, I will be happy with this device.
i was waiting for a GREAT wp7 on sprint but couldn't wait any longer. Picked up a used arrive today for fairly cheap and man I'm loving it so far. It's so fast compared to my ancient tp2. I've already downgraded spl, rspl/hspl, and flashed dft gold_c v1. Great rom so far. I'm loving ie9.
I agree to others that it is not really worth the contract for this because of it's age, but I still love this phone a lot. Of course I didn't have a chance to try an android phone(or native android phone, I tried the android port on TP2), so I can't say this is better, but it fit my taste.
Now, serious question, how to load 8107?
