I am so torn between getting the Touch pro, X1, Omnia or maybe keeping the kaiser. I think I have ruled out the X1 after doing research. I was wondering if anyone has/are going to dump the new Omnia rom build: DXHG4 with the new updated homepage; or if its even possible.

Hi,
I'm currently using the O2 Orbit (original) phone, and have really enjoyed my time with it. HOwever, I am now due an upgrade
I am debating between the Stellar and the Orbit 2. I don't miss the keyboard on the Orbit (had the Mini IIs prior, which had keyboard of course), but I wouldn't be too depressed to have one. As far as I can see, there's not much to seperate the two phones, but from user experience, which one would you buy, and why?
(or can someone think of any other alternatives?)

Hi,
I found the Kaiser (o2 Stellar) very bulky, that's why I changed. Also fm radio on orbit II, better touch flo experience. Check out the new ppc's from the Barcelona WMC2008. maybe u ll find something worth waiting for. but in any case, i don't think they will be in stock with any operator soon enough for ur upgrade. i d go for the orbit II.

I'm slightly worried about the Polairs' video driver issue... or is this not so much of a problem?
kaiser and polaris suffer from the same driver thing
people report that htc have bulged and will pay qualcom for the driver
they so far been too cheap to pay for
otherwise another possiblity could be other devices comming out using the same chip
like toshiba
Definitely go fot the Polaris, man! I'm tellin' ya
It's slimmer, more solid, and pretty And if you don't miss the keyboard of the Mini S (heh, I also had one, then changed it for a Neo (Prophet) and didn't miss the keyboard ), the Polaris is maybe the best PPC out there.
My opinion - BioTouch is much better than an old touch screen combined with a hw keyboard. And with the number of the input apps out there, it's the ultimate choice.
Tried Opera 9.5 yesterday - amazing. This browser makes your PPC the ultimate mobile internet device and combined with the BioTouch it simply rocks!
This website says HTC Touch Diamond will be the best phone of 2008: http://www.mytouch-diamond-phone.com
Anyone feel the same way? I know the new iPhone has 3G but the Diamond also touts 3G speed...
The iPhone is not a WinMo phone.
Why even bring it up if you're asking what the best WinMo phone is?
My candidates for the best WinMo phone of 2008 are:
Super number 1.- Htc Advantage x7510!!
1.- Touch Pro Raphael
2.- Samsung Omnia
3.- Toshiba protegé g910
4.- Diamond
Iphone is not WinMo and can not compare with any of the ones above
Iphone sucks in several aspects.... so let´s not talk about it!
Cheers
thanx for spamming us with your site.

Yeah, all 5 of his posts are basically cut-and-paste.
Currently I would say the HTC Touch Diamond.
Either the HTC Touch Pro or the SE Expreria might surpass it when they become available.

Hahaha you're joking, right? I presume yo;ve never actually used any of the above, especially the G910...
My vote would be the i780, possibly followed by the i900 if you don't want a keyboard (too early for real user reviews yet). Forget the eye-candy and go for something that works better than any other PPC out there - at a bargain price. Not just my opinion:-

hello from italy
i had samsung 780,and now i have diamond and omnia, i beleve omnia is the best or will be the best, it have a good battery, superb cam, big display (alas with bad resolution), good touchscreen, write on it is easy without stylus, problem with navigators, tomtom7 needs of gps gate, garmin is free (why always this problem?), the fix is good,
some little problem with installations of some programs and games, with diamond no problems, for me however omnia is the best for NOW
By now, most should have seen about it. I have tried it during CommunicAsia 2009 here in Singapore and I'm very impress how Samsung recreate the interface. Note the word recreate. I'm wondering will it be able to port into Blackstone and Topaz since the main different is the processor. OmniaII will be release in Singapore this coming Sat
Should be able to.
This thread has some info about it.

That is for Omnia I900, But for OmniaII, It isn;t as simple as just add on imo so I'm still very unsure.
Awesome news, HTC is giving an official (free ) upgrade to Diamond 2, Pro 2 and Snap in all markets worldwide. This would also come with the (somewhat degraded version of) Sense UI found in the Hero.
The offical launch date of WM 6.5 is October 07
Samsung Omnia Pro will also get a free upgrade to WM 6.5

What about touch pro 2?
Touch Pro 2 is also confirmed for 6.5 official upgrade.
HTC Leo, Acer E1 and F1 confirmed to be launched with 6.5
Acer launches (E1 and F1) within a few days of Windows phone launch.
Note the new branding, its no more a Windows mobile, its a Windows phone
More updates soon, Acer has confirmed 1 more model and ASUS has as well (guess its M29) but not sure yet.
Cheers!

When you say the manila 2.5, you mean TF3D ?
If yes, this is strange 'cause mine is already 3.0 in my EU stock rom...
i mean the new manila - it has bits of HTC sense, like a facebook integrated profile which i have already noticed .. possibly a coloered UI
used the HTC Mega right now.. test phone.. the touch flo is colored
If anyone is planning to buy the Omnia Pro B7320.; PLEASE WAIT; Samsung is going to release Omnia Pro B7330.. better hardware, larger scree, pre loaded with 6.5 and looks far better
Hello all,
Now that I have a few days off before I go back to work for the new year thought I would find a project to keep me occupied.
I have what i believe to be a Dopod /HTC/ 838 Pro.
Thought I would upgrade it and maybe get a few more years out of it, since it has been sitting in my top drawer for the last two years ever since getting my Iphone. Had TomTom running on it as a navigation device, but the Iphone does it sooooo much better that I found I was not using the WinMo.
So in light of the above, any advice appreciated.
I live in Australia so a Rom specific to the region would be great, as I would like to upgrade from WM6 to ----> 6.1 with Touchflo or 6.5 if possible?? Is it ???
Ideally I am after the touchflo experience, I know its a whole buch of fancy graphics etc...but before I get flamed for being lazy and not looking etc thought I would see what your opinions are. (and yes I am being a tad lazy too) please no flames only constructive advice.
I have seen the WM6.1 touchflo installed on the phone on Youtube however could not find the Rom, having searched ..(possibly with the wrong words) but I did try.
Could you also suggest a failproof method of upgrade..
Starting with Hard-SPL_V7 if it is required ???
Any Help appreciated.
