Hey guys,
I'm really looking into upgrading my Kaiser to a new Touch 3G (I've wanted one from the start), but I don't see that there is a forum available for it, even though there are ones for the Opal/Jade and Blackstone/HD and G1. Is it possible that we can see one, or maybe upgrade the Elf one to the 3G?
Thanks
Hmm yep since I pre ordered mine yep I will have to agree here
great, I guess I'm not the only one
can mods give their opinions on this?
I'm thinking the Touch 3G will be my next device. (Assuming it has US 3G) Would be nice to have a dedicated forum. I've noticed that there doesn't seem to be too much interest in the device. Maybe overshadowed by the HD.

It now has it's own forum
At the end of the summer, I'm hoping to buy a new HTC phone. I don't have a data plan (I rely on Wi-Fi), so it doesn't matter if it has European or American 3G frequencies, I just need it to work with AT&T (GSM).
I was hoping to get one of the following:
HTC Touch 3G (cheapest)
HTC Touch Diamond2 (sexiest)
HTC Touch HD (biggest)
I have an LG Incite, and I'm hoping to upgrade to a quality phone. I can barely stand this POS. Spocky, his ROM developments, and this forum are really the only reasons I can even use it. I would really prefer the HTC Touch HD because I want a large phone due to my large stature, and I want the Touch 3G because I'd prefer not to spend too much. And the Touch Diamond2 is just hot.
Any and all suggestions are welcome, even if they're not on the list.
I´m not sure I´m smarter than you, but I would say go for Diamond 2!
Well, rumor has it (and by rumor I mean official documentation) that the Diamond2 is coming to AT&T, so that could be a win.
Yes I heard that, also TP2 will come to that provider
I would probably prefer that, actually, as I'm all for hard keyboards. Though it currently costs an arm and a leg.
Probably two legs now, seeing as how the value of most currencies are decreasing right now, including limbs.

HTC Touch Diamond 2 ... the 3.5 adapter is basically the only con....
That's really why I want the Touch HD.
With the death of my Zune (I think it got kicked in the chest by Charlie Murphy), my phone has been my main MP3 player. And I could never lose my Zune Premium headphones.
Would anyone trade a Touch HD for a Tilt 2?
I'm not looking for a trade, just wondering.
Thanks
Moved to Q&A as not marketplace since no trade or sale.

If someone offered a Tilt2 for a Touch HD it would be his or her dream come true.
There is nothing on the Touch HD that is better than the Tilt2...
The only thing that the Touch HD has compared to the Tilt2 is the damn 3.5 mm headphone jack. Are you serious about the trade? Cause your question doesn't make sense.
So of course someone would trade (give) his Touch HD for a Tilt2.
Is your sentence wrong? Because if it is then this would seem to be a more plausible question: Would anyone trade his Tilt2 for my Touch HD?
The answer would be hell no. Unless the Tilt2 was heavily used, full of scratches and has hardware/software issues, no one will want to exchange it for a Touch HD.
Well I know only diff is that the Tilt gets Att 3G, the button QWERTY, and doesn't have a 3.5mm.
I really like listening to music and I use my phone as an Mp3 player because I dont want to carry a phone and a Zune.
I want the 3.5mm headset jack and don't mind the lack of a keyboard. I was just wondering If I did get the Tilt2 if It would be crazy to try to trade it for a Touch HD.
Thing is I'd have to get a dataplan to get the Tilt 2 to trade for the HD and then I'd have a touch HD that can't use the dataplan I'd now have.
I already have the Incite which has WinMo 6.5 and a 3.5mm, So I guess I'd still use the dataplan when I have my sim in the Incite.
So The question is do I want to stick with the Incite and it's Wifi
or
Do I get a dataplan and a tilt 2 that I trade for a Touch HD and only use the dataplan when the Sim is in the Incite.
Or I do as above but give the dataplan to my brother's phone and Just have a Incite and a Touch HD both with just Wifi.
Too bad I cant get the HD2... XD Because while it's hard to decide how badly I want the Touch HD over the Incite, the only real difference is that the Touch HD has a bigger screen.
If I had the choice to get the HD2 over the Incite it'd be a no brainer. The HD has the Snapdragon, more RAM, more internal ROM, a bigger screen that is capacitive. I dont even mind it doesn't get at&t 3G.

If you don't flash your phone then you are stuck with a phone with older software. Also, the finger friendly Windows Mobile 6.5.3 is probably not officially supported by HTC on your HTC Touch HD, so you probably will need to flash it on your own.
And trading a Tilt2 for that would be freaking crazy.
I'd like you to know that the HTC Touch Pro2 has the one of the best keyboard around, I mean it's better than any blackberry, better than my Nokia E90, better than any android phone so far, and better than a touch screen keyboard, of course better than Palm, etc!!!!!!!!
If anything, trade it for a Nokia N900. Though, not windows mobile, it's processor is faster than the HTC Touch HD, meaning less likely to have skippy music or delay during music playback. Furtheremore, the N900 speaker is just as good as the N95, and most people who know about phones can verify that the N95 speakers are not only very loud, but very high sound quality, and you get two speakers like on a laptop. And it has a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
The Tilt2 also has tilting screen, so you can watch videos while working on a table, which is kinda geeky but whatever.
Tilt2 also requires a data plan if you get it on ATT. So why would you pay for data plan just to use a phone that doesn't support the data plan. Isn't that stupid? And if you are going to buy a Tilt2 on eBay or something, just buy a Touch HD so you don't go through with the trade.

The HTC Touch HD does not have a snapdragon, has less RAM, and less ROM, and it is resistive.
The HTC Touch HD2 has a snapdragon, more RAM, and more ROM, and it is capacitive.
Thanks for confusing me. Next time, pay attention to the series number, and report the right number, or you will get different answers.
For the Touch HD2 yeah the swap seems plausible, if you do it now, you might get a swap, but I suggest keeping your Tilt2 unopened and 100% brand new. Do not peel any stickers or anything. If you have to get your hands on it use latex gloves, but do not peel the sticker on screen.
Next, you have to swap it with someone with a used HD2 who really abhors his HD2. But soon, the HD2 for T-Mobile will come out, and it will be impossible for you to find someone to swap an HD2 because it has become more valuable for the Americans, and they wouldn't want to swap you. Why? Well because the ones with the European Touch HD2 are going to get the American version for T-Mobile. So right now there will be people more willing to trade it for a brand new Tilt2.
Or, if you are smart, just go month to month with ATT until the T-Mobile HD2 comes out. I heard that month to month on ATT doesn't charge you more, it just means you can cancel anytime or renew a contract for a brand new phone.
But when the T-Mobile HD2 comes out, transfer your phone number to T-Mobile and sign a contract with T-Mobile for an HD2 with a data plan that you actually use.
BTW...I think that swapping it will be very hard, and what you are doing is crazy, and I knew it when you said that you "weren't looking for a trade" you were actually looking for a trade, cause obviously if someone wanted to trade you would trade.

I know about flashing phones, my Incite it running Dark Wolf's newest 6.5 Rom
I like the Tilt 2 also but the 3.5mm is like critical to me.
I dont want to get a phone that isn't Winmo.

Sorry about that, it was a typo, the HD you bolded I meant to type HD2.
The point of this thread was just to find out if I got the Tilt 2 if I could trade it for a Touch HD because I really want that 3.5mm. But you're probably right because the Touch HD cant use the dataplan I should probably just keep my Incite, But If I could trade a Tilt 2 for an HD2 then I'd probably get the Tilt 2 and do what I said about just using the dataplan I'd now have on the Incite every once in a while or put it on my brother's phone since I bet he'd like that.

Are you considering switching to T-Mobile for the upcoming HD2?
well I'm currently on my dad's family plan so I'm not sure, plus I dont know how much the HD2 will cost even with new contract so I'm not too sure about that.
The problems with getting a contract with T-mobile is that Calls between my family and my best friend and I wouldn't be free. Plus I'd have to get the T-mobile dataplan which I dont really want especially because it's not as good at at&t's

Well just get the phone and do with the trade. If you can't do it, at least you have the best phone there is on ATT (aside from the iPhone).
I wouldn´t trade my Rhodium for a Blackstone
So people would trade a HD2 (Leo) for the Tilt2 (Rhodium)?

Well the HTC Leo costs 800 dollars.
The ATT Tilt2 costs 500 dollars.
The HTC Blackstone costs 500 dollars and if you are lucky may cost around 300-400 dollars.
Tilt2 trade for Blackstone is a guarantee.
HTC Leo trade for a Tilt2 is almost impossible.
Not me, as hardware keyboard is a must.
Even if Leo has better specs...I prefer Rhodium!
I'd be willing to get and trade a tilt2 for a HD2... question is should I get the Tilt 2 and try?

You can try. It's not that I think it's a bad idea what you are doing, but it's that it's really hard. I wouldn't do it because the HD2 is a league higher than the Tilt2, and it's hard to get someone to trade his HD2 for the Tilt2.
to me the HD screen and integrated buttons are much more appealing while the Tilt 2 is really just the next generation of a long line of HTC phones. Now that the HD2 is out, I think the Tilt 2 has lost some luster and this wouldn't be such a one sided trade anymore. I may even consider it, lol.
Hi guys
Just wondering what the best Android phone is, in the UK market. I really want it to be good at playing games, playing vids and listening to music. So something really fast and a good screen for multimedia apps. I was looking at Galaxy S and HTC EVO 4G. Are these the best on the market just now?
Cheers guys
Martin
the htc desire hd is the best android phone on the market at the mo
Thanks AndroHero
Has the HTC Desire got the ability to use tilt games, like the iPhone? Like using the phone as a steering wheel when playing driving games
How about the motorola milestone 2?
I'd say it's the Desire HD.
Though the Desire is also a great phone, I prefer it since it has a 3.7" screen compared to a 4.3" of the HD. Though the HD has more RAM and a better GPU.
BTW, the Desire HD is the worldwide version of the Evo 4G though better it seems.
and yep. The phone supports tilt games =)
Thanks guys for your feedback. Is it correct the Desire wont be able to upgrade to Android 3?
I'd say galaxy S. SAMOLED screen is awesome and the samsung hummingbird is faster than snapdragon.
My choice is HTC EVO 4G

He said in the UK.
I have the EVO 4G (U.S. only) too and its awesome for games, so I recommend the international version which is the Desire HD. Not the regular Desire, but with HD in the name.
If you use your phone for mostly personal, then the Desire HD is the way to go. If you use your phone for business, I would recommend the Desire Z (smaller and has a keyboard)
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Thanks again guys for your feedback. I think the HTC Desire HD looks amazing, and would love to go down that route. But I am trying to keep my monthly cost to £25 per month. So might have to wait a while for it to come down in price.
