Hi boys and girls!
I was planning on buying the new Diamond 2 as soon as it hit the shelves here in Norway, but as HTC still thinks I should pay for the repair of an USB port which was DOA I have decided to try to find some other phone...
So - anyone have any good suggestions?
Cheers!
Nokia 5110
I prefer the lime green casing myself, but that is personal preference, as is selecting a device or a type of wine.

@ Red: Thanks for the suggestion, but I find it too small for my liking. My three "musts" are:
1. The handset need to be sturdy. If i forget my hammer, I need something to hit other drivers with.
2. Must come with its own backpack, and the fabric must be washable.
3. I sometimes use the phone in my care, so the top part must be possible to detach from the battery. There just isn't space in my estate car to have the battery in the front.
My best bet til now is this model:

haha great response. With all honesty go with something a bit inexpensive in the meantime if you are waiting for TP2 to be released in your country.
Actually, I'd rather go for something NOT from HTC...
Go for Touch Pro 2 or Toshiba TG01
Or buy the new HTC Touch HD ...
Thanks for the suggestion. Will have to have a look at the Toshiba. As for HTC, I'd really like to stuff the aforementioned phone (the Ericsson) somewhere the sun don't shine. Unfortunately, I think I will have to use "most people" as a baseline for sun-exposure, as I have a feeling these guys (?) do a lot of "work" on all fours
I understand your reluctance to get a HTC again I for one have a HD which is actually really good although when i first brought one it had 3 dead pixels and although htc wouldnt replace it the shop i brought it from would, now after 3 months or so my replacement has just developed a stuck pixel which I have never seen before I've has so many products with lcd screens and worked in a shop for a bit that sold them and only ever seen them come with a dead/stuck pixel. its not really noticeable but very annoying considering the price of the phone. So I was thinking thats the last time i buy a htc but then I realized there isn't any 1 else who makes anything near as good in terms of features and looks.
my first choice would be the hd
go for the HD or a super processor snapdragon on the Toshiba TG01

I came across this looking for a replacement for my MDA, want a better one. Look at this one on http://www.jarengoh.com/
Its a XScale 400MHz and 4MP camera, and WM5..... Coming out soon. What do you think?
tried PIE and wm5 opera I think you might have a dead link
matrix849:
Try desktop browser. The whole page is one big flash so I doubt anything on the PPC will show it properly.
weezy:
It looks great, but they don't say what it has (hardware wise) besides the camera and WiFi.
Is there BT? How much memory? Screen resolution? Is it a Smartphone or Pocket PC based? (touch screen?)
It's not on the products page of the company they gave the link to, so I don't see anything to be excited about yet.
From memory, I believe this is supposed to cost around $300,000, with the White Diamond consumer end model around $4000.

Yep, bang on it's on the website at $300,000 available 2007
I think I'll buy two
Buying that phone you would think does it come with 8 rooms and a five car garage. Still good phone to look at :lol:
Addition to the design phones
Hi people,
Here are two additions to the design phones. Both are concept though.
But still are really wicked.
So have a look and let's hope the companies do build such smartphones.

I don't know the rules about forum swearnig but "F**k me!" that's a breath taking phone...even more breath taking than the V3 RAZR and on the same level of breath taking as the Vertu range, which cost around £3,000.
Oh my gosh I've just discovered that Vertu is owned by Nokia Corporation ... so they're just high-end flashy Nokia mobiles?
Uh, what a disgrace!
Nice find
Vertu are hardly high end, feature wise, but they're blingin.
A guy at work here has the Bang & Olufsen Serene, which is also expensive, and damn user unfriendly. But at least it has a motorized self open/close mechanism

Take a look at this too http://keesoo.multics.org/articles/jan2005/se/se_design.htm
This is strange looks like Wizard (designer is so impressed I think)
All of these jaw-dropping / mouth-watering / breath-taking phones are just pure luxury...I think I'm just going to have a heart-attack and collapse ontop of the Pool table.
:lol:
Read about it here. Sad news. I was planning to replace my SE P990i with it. The Nokia E90 suddenly looks very nice. (I would pick the Kaiser but I have had enough of QVGA displays.)
Bad news. It only makes me want the HTC Omni even more
HTC Shift
Maybe the HTC Shift? Recent rumors about it being able to run Windows Mobile makes it an interesting machine. I've always wanted to look like a fool taking a call on a brick-like PDA.
I read on another site that this news is confirmed "NOT TRUE" as they are released at different times. Also there should be a 6th model.

Too big for a WinMo device, too small for a decent WinTel one.
I prefer a 4"-at-max PDA + a preferaby ~12" full-featured, lightweight (x61s, for example) subnotebook.
seems it was just a rumour

..Clove has removed that news piece!
Entire Ultimate series still on track
I can't wait for another clamshell PDA to come out. I do agree with Meinsys that the SHIFT is too big. It has nice features, but the size just turns me OFF from it. Plus on another site I saw, the reviewer said it has no phone application included, so basically it is just a PPC and Vista. I'd rather have the PPC and Phone with a decent camera in one device.
I am actually awaiting the release of the HTC Omni and the IMate 7150. Once they're both out, I'll wait a bit for the reviews to come out, before I decide which to choose.
---
7150 is not axed, but panned for next year that is 2008, may b early 2008.This is 100% true
I am using an ATHENA. I use my home PC (with RDP) as XP machine on-the-road, having all my files safely stored there (and NOT on-the-road )
It isn't my best phone, is my best SECOND phone, EXCALIBUR is in my shirt's pocket and ATHENA is the heavvy-duty device. Size doesn't matters but helps! and a PPC used with mouse, connected to a big display (4 in 1 cable is a must for ATHENA owners) is IMHO the best choice for business users
I will vote for a better ATHENA as next killer device for managers, bigger resolution, backlight for the keyboard, HSUPA
Two phones, same OS... I am still using my old laptop sometimes but my back and my right shoulder are really happier now!

Have you found a good case with a belt clip for it?
Imagine hanging this baby (HTC Shift) on your belt. Serious unpantsing-risk!

No, I don't. During the winter I use coats with big pockets, no jeans and without the leather case it fits in my pants pocket
So I've decided that, as I've gotten a few comments already, I wanted to start a thread related to showing off your device. Take a moment, grab a camera, and take a shot or two of your device(s). Right now, I've only got my phones and primary phone accessories included (I count my GSM Datacards as part of the accessories). Not sure how many of you will throw your list in, but I'm welcoming you all to it. Hopefully, I haven't missed this somewhere else...
As you can no doubt tell, I've got some wear and tear on my devices...
nice collection of toys you've got there
Show me yours... I showed you mine... uh...wait..that sounded uhm...dirty....
Are the slides on all those pretty much still tight?
I'll show you who's boss in a couple of days

None of them slide without me telling them to, if that's what you're asking. Each one will go to its regular sliding spot, stop, and hold until pressure (I'd say regular pressure, not just a tap, but actual pressure) is applied to push it back. I didn't have the Wizards when I started, so I can't speak for them. The Tytn and Kaiser I had from day one, both work just as well as they did then.. I do notice a bit more of an overhang to the opposite side (i.e. when it's in, it hangs a bit more than it should, but nothing overly noticeable).
Heres' my set:
Top Row:
-left: HTC Handomium (made it in Ceramics, not yet released )
-right: Motorola S9HD
Middle Row from left to right:
-ATT Tilt, Cingular 8525, ATT Fuze, Cingular 8525 (bricked radio), HTC Universal
Bottom Row:
-left: HP Jornada 567
-right: Motorola S9 (going back)

Here is my stash. I didn't include my iPhone, I felt dirty putting it up there with the windows mobile stuff, but I threw my touch in it.

I should have put my blue angel in there along with my curve. Damn I have too many old phones and stuff. If anyone wants all that I'll trade everything there (except the touch ) for a touch pro that is in great shape with no problem
^^ isn't that the iPhone in the red condom anyways?

He said it was his Touch and good decision in not putting the iPhone in there
You'll trade all 7 devices for a Touch Pro?

I'll take everything there + the Blue Angel and Curve. I'll go get a BNIB Fuze/Touch Pro for you. Come to Georgia we can do the transaction in person.
Bah.. Looked again.. Most of those are CDMA. I wont do that... :-(
Great collection kareem9nba!!
I wish I can hace more...
My collection is no worth to include here... just Universal and S621
I want your Universal... Show us photos anyway!
Reviving a thread.. now show us your boo..ermm..phones
I'm reviving a thread, now so us your boo..ermm...phones...
Been a long time HTC user, my first was a Prophet (Orange M600) and loved it before moving up to a Kaiser (O2 XDA Stellar) before getting a Rhodium (Direct HTC Touch Pro2, no airtime mess) and they've all been brilliant.
Now I'm out of contract and not liking the looks of WinMo at the moment, I was perfectly happy with 6.5 but seems like MS have other ideas, so I'm quite tempted to go 'droid and the Desire being the pick of the crop so it seems.
Thing is it's been out a little while and maybe a replacement is due soon? Plus I've kind of got used to the hardware keyboards and going back to onscreen on my Prophet is not fun (or even using the Rhodiums when in it's overboard waterproof pouch when I'm out cycling - in case of rain) so that kind of puts me off.
I've seen some rumours for a HTC Vision but to be honest the design doesn't fill me when awe and the keyboard looks like a step back to the Kaiser days.
So what can people recommend? Will I get over my hardware keyboard addiction with a Desire, will I be best waiting a month or two (pretty hedonistic so probably won't wait more than that) or is there a handset out there that I've overlooked that would be ideal for me?
P.S. - no iPhones, tried a 3G and had a look at a four a guy at work had and simply loathe the things.
IMO Currently I wish I had an Android phone of my own. Right now I have TP2 with WinMo 6.5, its decent and ok for now, but Android seems much more appealing to me.

Just some phones you could look at.
Thanks for the recommendations - based in the UK so the Evo is out I'm afraid. GalaxyS doesn't look half bad so might have a read up on it.
Being an IT Engineer I've slated Dell for years so wouldn't be able to show my face holding one of those (though the size on it you probably wouldn't be able to see my face holding one ).

Hi there, just thought I would share this with you and ask what you think.
So, I have a Moto G 3rd (bought it a month ago), I quite liked it and was a good upgrade from my original Moto G. However, I never expected it to be so fragile. After one small fall (like 30 cm) my screen seems to be completely messed. I mean the display, as outside the phone is just fine, no cracks or anything, and it was the first time I dropped it. Here's a picture:

}
This is really disapointing, and I'm in complete shock, as probably warranty won't cover it and the phone was a major investment for me. Has any of you had a similar experience? Is the moto G not as resistant has it once was? The original one could take a LOT of damage, and it just dying like this on me breaks my heart.
So, what should I do? I contacted Motorola on the website and after a long talk they basically just told me to go to the store where I bought it, which I'll do thursday (it's far from where I live), but I fear they won't offer help. If they don't, is there a way to still send it to Motorola and pay for the repairs? I've tried china replacements on other phones and was never quite satisfied, and this is a new phone :/
Thanks for reading, needed to share my pain!
That's exactly what happened to my previous phone (samsung galaxy s3 neo). Screen was ok, also because it was protected by a tempered glass, but the lcd broke and only showed a few purple lines.
Unfortunately, the outside screen spare was quite cheap (30 euros) while the lcd repair was 120 euros, so I decided to buy the moto. A bumper should protect from this kind of accident.
I'm afraid it's bad news.
Hi guys, just here for a quick update.
I went back to the store and since the device was in very good shape they sent it to warranty and said it could go off has a gpu fault.
I'll update when I, hopefully, get it back!

Great news, let's keep finger crossed and hope they can fix it for free.
Hi again!
Just here to tell you guys I got my phone back and the repair was covered by warranty! Hope my story helps if anyone runs into similar trouble. It was fairly quick too! (2 weeks)
Bear in mind my phone only had 1 month and was in really good shape (no scratches).
