which new handset? - General Topics

My service provider tells me that I can now upgrade my handset - trouble is, I have an O2 XDA Stellar (HTC Tytn II). Isn't this just about the best handset of it's type at the moment?
Any suggestions of where to go from here?
Many thanks in advance.

Tytn is good but not the best, if you want to change your device do a search on this forum, there are a lot of nice reviews about the upcoming models!
For me HTC HD will be my next stop
Good luck

HTC Prophet forum

When can we have an forum dedicated to the HTC Prophet? This phone has been out for a month now and this is probably the time where people would need a forum most.
I will fully support the opening of this section too.

So you bought the Prophet (Dopod 818 pro from expansys?). I'm still waiting to fork out the 500,00+ euro's.
Still happy with my Magician.
Is the Bluetooth headset caller id working on the Prophet? (as it was on my P800 2 years ago)
Still little BUGS.... I read device has to be on...
(I keep the device in my pocket off, I want to here who is calling me before I pick up the phone, P800 could do that 2 years ago...)
That would be a BIG + for me to buy the Prophet.
On the other hand I'm missing GPS and 3G. (DECT would be nice 2)
Still hoping a bit for wm 2005 on my Magician or the Bluetooth caller id
to be hacked out of the wm 2005. Although everyone here say’s it’s a hardware problem.
On topic: YES there should be a HTC Prophet forum. I like to read people’s experiences with the device.
there is a special forum for website related matters. don't forget to post there as well.

I read on Mobile-review:
HTC Prophet is a complete copy (both software and hardware are meant) of HTC Wizard. On the other hand, it's equal to HTC Magician in appearance

So I think that's the reason ad/mod do not want to open a new box for HTC Prophet.

No no no....The Prophet is NOT equal to the Magician in appearance! The Charmer is. :roll:
The prophet is a bit like in appearance but certainly not equal. :wink:
agree ..
prophet at least had wifi (802.11g)
charmer is really like a copy of magician ...

Re Prophet Forum
Hey all
After a month of enjoyment of my wizard, have just managed to sell it on E-Bay and ordered my Prophet (I-Mate Jamin) of Expansys, as did not find the Keyboard quite as usefull as I thought still could not match CalTech Quick writing as an input system, however nice machine if you like keyboards, just wanted a smaller machine with WiFi and had my doughts about the long term durability of the keyboard & stylus, so come lets get that Prophet Forum going its on releas with expansys on Friday and it is a HTC item unlike the XDA atom, and I think it is going to be very popular amoungst the none keyboarders,
Regards Ash'e
Yes looks the best of the new small wm5 devices. I just hope O2 have it in the UK when my contract is up for renewal. I did email them when I saw O2 Germany was releasing it and, of course, got the pointless reply

OK, I've read the review. I still stand by what I said. Also, so Mobile Review it would seem:
The appearance has not changed much from the HTC Magician's time, it just got rounder. Side edges are not splay as earlier, but slightly project. The body is made of a less smooth, almost dull black material (the front part is of metal, and the back and sides are made of plastic).

It is very similar - but not identical (equal in appearance)
The Charmer is identical.
:wink:

looking for info

hi, iv just registered to this site cos im looking for some info, i have an xda11i and i love it but its time for upgrade, O2 have mentioned about a couple of new pda's coming called the 'JET' and 'ICE' but i cant find any info on them anywhere!! can someone please point me in a good direction!!
thankyou
Here's a list of known HTC PDAs with the names given by the various providers: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
e.g. HTC Prophet is sold as Orange SPV M600, XDA Neo, I-Mate Jamin, etc, etc.
Maybe we'll get more info on them soon.
i looked thru the list, but cudnt find these 2 new ones. iv been offered a wizard, or a universal (xda mini s, or a xda exec) does anyone have one of these and what do u think of them?? rememebering of course i already have an xda11i or Alpine as its called!! i wanted an atom but it doesnt seem to be coming out anytime soon in the uk!!
The Atom is not made by HTC but we won't hold that against it. :lol: :wink:
I know three people with Wizards and they are all pleased with them.
The Universal is a bit on the big side if you ask me. :shock:

anyone has o2 XDA Trion with device problems????

Hi, i'm looking to buy either a Tytn or an o2 XDA Trion......unfortunately they don't sell these here in Australia so i'm going to have to order it overseas......now just looking through the forum there seems to be plenty of minor problems with the HTC Tytn that people are having at the moment.......now for those who have the o2 XDA Trion, please post here any problems you are having as i want to know what would be the best choice for me to buy......right now i'm leaning towards the Trion because no one really has posted any problems with the device.....thanks
I have the Trion here in Germany and I don't get any problems that people are having with the Tytn or the Vodaphone or Tmobile one. Also I think the metallic look of the Trion looks much better than the Tytn. The only problem is that I'm not sure if you can find the Trion which is a English version. I thought the Trion is only availiable in Germany and hence the quertz keyboard. If the keyboard isn't the problem then I'm preety sure you can change the rom and there is a hack to make it work with the German Keyboard.
hi, thanks for the reply......i like the look of the trion as well compared to the tytn.....there is actually an english rom available for the hermes in the xda-developers ftp site......also according to a shop there in Germany (MG&C) were 'm planning to buy my trion from, they can change the the OS to english before they ship the device to me.....so yeah english rom is definitely available......

What should be my next purcharse? The Kaiser continuator...

At this moment I've a HTC TyTN II (Kaiser) and about a couple weeks I gone buy a new device (I think). I can't make a choice. Can you help me?
I'm doubt between a HTC Touch Pro (Raphael), Samsung i900 Omnia and SE Xperia X1. -click- What do think, or do you have an alternative?
Is the Raphael the continuator of the Kaiser? Or isn't? Is there coming an another device?
Because the price of the Raphael is here in the Netherlands not very much greater then the price of the Kaiser.
Is there news about the HTC Omni? What kind of device would that be?
I know, luxery problem but I don't like mistakes.

Here is what you do. You get The Raphael, and if you don't like it, send it to me.
I would love to get a Raphael personally. So that's my opinion.

Thanx for your opinion, I appreciate that.
This could/should be a discussion threat; I think there are more persons with this "problem".
What do you think: is the Raphael the continuator of the Kaiser? If so, why didn't HTC call the device TyTN III? Or would be the Omni the TyTN III?

The Omnia is not made by HTC, it's made by Samsung...
I like the HTC touch Pro as a future upgrade for me...

To Answer your Question, Yes I think the Touch Pro (Raphael) is the successor to the TyTn II (Kaiser).
Why not call it the TyTN III? Marketing my friend. Because of the iPhone everyone is all about Touching the Screen now. So Putting the word Touch in your name will give you that brand identification and you will sell more products.

Yes I know, but you can also see the Touch devices for the fashion people and the TyTN's as office devices...

Welcome to the forum
Well... I would go for TP2 definetly! if you are going for a buissness device.
It´s just a few weeks of launching.
Have in mind that if you select omnia you will not have the great support of this site...as we focus on HTC devices
Good luck,
Dear orb3000
When do you expect the HTC TP2 will be available in the Middleeast & specially in Qatar
Regards,
Talal
Agree with orb, that the TP2 could be your best device now.
Have no idea when available in the Middleeast...maybe your carrier knows.
Or you can get it unlocked on Ebay in June...

hi zongol
As galxys states, perhaps the best way would be to buy an unlocked one on ebay, expansys or any other store.
I´m doing that because in my country it would be later and more expensive
Good luck,
