In need of a phone - General Topics

hey everyone,
my unlocked T-mobile wing is broken and instead of trying to fix it and probobally destroying it im checking to see if anyone is seling a wm6 phone with a qwerty keyboard. preferably att tilt or htc fuse. i checked ebay and the prices are rediculous im lookin to spend in the range of 100-200$
thanks

i went from the wing to the tilt. I have to say my wing is a lot more stable than the tilt. I thought i would use the gps a lot more than i actually do.
you can get used wings for pretty cheep on eghey

yea the wing was prty damn sturdy.. the only reason i like the tilt more is the upgraded ram.camera and gps

For that $ perhaps you can buy an HTC S621, very good smartphone indeed
Good luck,

no by stable i mean that the software is a lot more stable i find myself hard reseting my tilt about once a week. i only had to hard reset my wing maybe 4 times in the year that i have owned it. btw if you get a another wing just 2 clean is the best rom ever. i wish it would be released for the tilt.

Sold my precious TyTn :'(

Well I was in a little bit of a money bind so I sold my ATT 8525 for $300 and an 8125.. Do you guys think that was a decent deal or should i have sold my 8525 over ebay?
Also, should I look into buying a Kaiser or hold onto my 8125 until something newer than the Kaiser is released?
Thanks

1. I think it was a decent deal.
2. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=345262 - I, personally, wouldn't get the Kaiser because of the unfinished firmware. The Touch Cruiser seems to be a better choice if you don't need the thumbboard.
Oh dang.. when did they come out with this new touch? lol

Doesn't the Touch Cruiser have the same chipset as the Kaiser?
If I would have known what I know today about the Kaiser, I would probably have picked another device instead.

Touch Diamond / Touch Pro

"TOUCH PRO" "TOUCH PRO""TOUCH PRO""TOUCH PRO""TOUCH PRO""TOUCH PRO"
my brain is now doing overtime........
When is HTC gonna give us break?
for the last few months i have been waiting with patients for my Diamond upgrade,
Now reading the Diamond posts and checking out
http://www.htc.com/www/default.aspx
i found out that the so called "TOUCH PRO" IS ON ITS WAY GRRRR!!!!!
What does 1 do????
wait again for it to come out,
which by dat time HTC will most probably bring out the "HTC TOUCH PRO DIAMOND ULTIMATE THINGY" or something....
here we go again.......
My advice dont get the 1st batch wait a little longer and you still wont be happy or have wot you wanted in the fist place...
"that didnt make sense see wot its doing to me"
I will do wot HTC wants:
Diamond 1st then wait for the Touch Pro....
So they can sell the same product again & again & again with suttle changes and a shiny new look....like every other company...
Lets have your comments or advice.....
Forget the Diamond - wait for the Pro.

Bite your tongue man!!
In IT, there is always something bigger and better just around the corner, you just have to decide when your going to bite the bullet and buy a phone.
HTC will soon make something better than the Pro, do you wait for that?
Diamond Pro for me
pro for me
i hope tmobile usa will get the pro by years end .... i like the diamond but the pro is the icing on the cake.... found out that tombile uk is getting one of them soon think its the diamond
I must admit that I'm getting tempted by the Diamond. Rumours are that it will be out on Orange in a few days. Still no word on the Pro.
Play.com say they're going to have them on 29 of August for £549.99

Better start saving up!
expansys have the diamond in stock for around £400 ish, TBH HTC is not that pad, the Pro is essentially the long awaited successor to the Universal, there has been nothing pocetable with a
VGA screen
Fold out Keyboard
and up to date spec like in built GPS and HSDPA
since the Uni in 2005

The Universal isn't the most pocketable of devices... And there have been offerings from other companies (Toshiba G9XX anyone?), but the Raphael is probably the best yet!
lol i guess i must have big pockets, the uni was an excellent device in its time, and whilst there have been offerings from other manufacturers, I was talking about HTC
the only issue with either of these phones with me is that they are both only triband... i need quad..if it wasnt for that I would jump all over either one really.
From what I have been reading, wait for the Pro.. I am

G900, i have one and its higher res than the universal and roughly the same size as the TyTN
800x480. However, res aint everything. I am now downgrading on screen real-estate to an Omni because, whats the point in having a tv that will do 1080p but is only 32inch? There ain't none. I now question 640x480. It's all very well having sharpness but, on 2./3.2inch screens, that are essentialy phones, does it make any practical diference? I'm sure there are people who watch movies on there phones but no one can honestly say they are any good at this - yea, yeah, it will play and you can watch it but, come on, its rubbish quality compared to pmp's.
I spoke to orange cs today regarding the Diamond they said if HTC dont change their mind
it shoud be out by the middle of this month @ the latest.....
I've made my mind up im getting it... "THE HTC DIAMOND"
and i cant wait.
The last time i upgraded it became a 12 month contract in stead of 18 so it aint so bad....
""" if i hear that THE PRO wont be delayed much longer i just mite consider waiting"""
i got my ELF as soon as it was released & within a month they released the Vogue & the Nike...
I was gutted but then when i found out that the Nike aint got WiFi,smaller screen and a slide out keyboard that aint much help etc etc etc...i was smiling again (-)
but as 1 of you said ""DO YOU JUST KEEP WAITING AND NEVER HAVE WHAT YOU WANT""
I want 1 & i want it now.....
I cant believe how many ppl have viewed my post looks like its gonna go a long way.............keep em cumming......
Whats the difference
Between the Dimond and the Pro, is it just the keyboard or something else ?

Thanks, no doubt its thicker as well, one of the reasons I sold my Kaiser and kept the Niki !!!
I have a few questions that I'm sure one of you all have the answer to. I am in dire need of a new phone, currently using a pos Treo 750. I am stuck between the Xperia and the Touch Pro as most are. Will the Touch Pro work on the T-mobile USA network? Do I have to wait for a US release of the phone or can I purchase one overseas to use thats unlocked? Sorry for all the question but I'm kinda new to all this.

My HTC touch pro :: pick it up tomorrow yay

As the title says, im all excited , HTC touch pro, original unlocked, brand new. Tmobile contract £35 a month 700 mins, unlimited texts and 1gb a month internet.
Canni wait !
Well,...I'm excited with ya then!
I'm gonna pick up my brand new touch pro saturday!
I've got a contract with the provider KPN (holland)
Got already an 8 GB sdHC card.....
AND offcourse I've read allll about the raphael on this forum...
Im buying an 8GB SDHC card tomorrow, have IGO8 ready to go on it, and some lovely expensive headphones.

Care to specialize which ones?
howd you get this phone on that contract?
expansys
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 !

Which phone ...

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.

Looking to get PDA after few years out??

Hi, looking to get a PDA after not having one for 2-3 years. I used to have a polaris and before that a wizard so I want to know which to consider to get now.
I would ideally like one with slide qwerty, but not particularly bothered.
I have trawled the net but all too confusing , so many out there now.lol.
I would spend up to £180 second hand. I know they all have their niggles , so what is a good all rounder that can be customised with roms and the like?
I used to flash and flash my old one's with allsorts of roms. Been to iphone and got bored of that so I am off back to the old trusty PDA.
What would you guys recommend??????
Cheers all!!

Hi, I need one with GPS built in ideally. I know the kaiser has it built in does the touch pro 2?
Which one has better customability? As in custom roms etc......
Was touching on kaiser myself but was thinking maybe a bit slow now, which would be the same allrounder with gps and rom cooking?
Thanks.

Hi, bought HTC tytn II brand new for £100. I think this is a good deal, u think??
I will play on this for a bit then upgrade when I get back into the swing of things.
Thanks for your suggestions guys.
P.s just one thing , the phone is locked to vodafone, I presume it is quite easy to unlock?
(It used to be!!)
Thanks.

Hi, Ahh, bit of a development, I got the Kaiser , then I got what I thought was the deal I could not refuse.
I got a brand new HTC touch 2 pro for £230, so now I have 2 PDA's when I only wanted one.....arrrggghhh.
I presume this is a good deal and worth keeping over the Kaiser?
What would you guys do?
The Kaiser is for sale if wanted by anyone. (If pro 2 any good)
P.s Why is the kaiser sim unlock free, but htc touch pro 2 isn't????????
thanks.
Stu.
I'd keep both the TP2 is a far superior device than Kaiser but keep the Kaiser as back up, b.t.w the price you got TP2 for is awesome
If you want to compare the specs Device Database @ top of forum will show you how much better TP2 is
