I've currently got a touch dual and looking to upgrade my phone. Is it a good time to buy a touch HD and then put wm6.5 on it or am I better off waiting a couple of months for any new phones to come out?
And anyone know if the HD is getting the upgrade to WM6.5? from what I know, the diamond 2 and pro 2 are getting the upgrade but nothing has been said about the HD.
Cheers in advance
The HD is not getting official wm6.5, but there are many xda cooked 6.5 betas now. The Touch Pro 2 looks great, and I'll be getting one soon! See the Rhodium forum section for a lot of sccop on the TP2!

Currently using Artemis and have done for a while, Re-Flashed loads with new available software, can't fault it at all. Now, Here goes, Looked at xperia and the new O2 Serra, Like them both but was just wondering if there are more better or faultless handsets to upgrade to. With O2 at present and can upgrade any time, Cheers,D

The Blackstone AKA Touch HD is also a viable option.
A friend of mine bought his from Mobile.co.uk (There's a thead in the Blackstone forum on Mobile.co.uk) on O2, got to keep his number etc.

Cheers Dave, Is The Blackstone, AKA Touch HD got the slide out qwerty, Think that would suit me better after pulling out the stylus from my artemis all those times, that's the only drawback with the texting i think. Had a look at a few handsets and was goin to go with what all you guys that are qualified had to say about the best on the market at the moment.
Cheers,D
I´ll wait a little bit
A few days ago has been leaked the HTC roadmap 09 and very very nice devices are coming!
my suggestion is waiting for WM7 to come out.
Well until recently I was certain that I would get myself a Blackstone, however I ha to wait till I was 18. However, MWC has just been and although there isn't much that would make me want to think about not going for the HD, there is the Stantum Multitouch although I don't suppose anything will support it very soon.
The thing is my current phone has just run out of credit so I need to make the decision now. Is it worth waiting another month and top up or is it worth taking the plunge?
ERM, thought I had posted this in Blackstone forum.
I have a blackstone myself. It's a great device, although one new device at the MWC has made my mouth water again .
Wait for the Samsung Omnia HD! Comparing the Blackstone to it makes the Touch ''HD'' look like a wannabe version of a hd device. o.o (which it is, kind of.)

The only annoying thing its Symbian, I think I would rather have a WinMO even though I've never owned a winMO.
Get the blackstone...
If u'r on usa at&t, get the testra HD for 3G...
As my dera friend galaxys says HD
Or perhaps to wait for Touch Pro II?...
Is the touch pro II a step up in terms of hardware at all though? Or will it just be Touch HD with keyboard and new version of TF3D?
I know this quetion has been asked a lot, but what are the chances that a .cab file will be released for the new TF3D soon?
1 - htc diamond 2
2 - htc touch pro 2
3 - htc hero
4 - htc firestone
& why ?
Out of those options, I'd buy a TP2.
I would however *consider* the HTC Hero as it seems like an interesting handset.
tp2 because it's the latest & greatest.
btw, your 1st post...welcome to the great xda forum.
so, wich one do u like & why?
TP2!!
Because is a buisness oriented device, it has nice keyboard and I like the design.
I don't know yet - that's the reason for the Poll
I'm looking to buy a do it all phone that can be customized and playied with and thinking of waiting for the firestone but how long and how much ?
so maybe just buy something now and keep it for 2/3 years
wanted to get your expert opinion first
thanks.bye

nobody seems too excited about the firestone - 0 vote
it's that becouse not enouth innovation or becouse it's too early and the release date & price is still a unknown ?
TD2 4 TEH WIN!!!
Reason= I have one
Diamond 2 or Hero, they look just great and have great specs...
yes TD2 looks really good and would probably be my choice right now but I was wondering if the TP2 was worth the extra money, about €200 (and save them to buy the device that will come AFTER the firestone) from the price that I see or to wait for the firestone if the price is similar to TP2
ofcourse the hero looks very promising and being open could develop/improve faster than waiting for WM7
is the firestone that much better and worth waiting for it or a ROM upgrade could make the TD2 close the gap to the TP2/Firestone
tehhoe about the TD2 do youu have any problem with the dust getting inside the cover?

I would probably buy Toshiba TG01 , But Since Im not in a Hurry Ill wait for HTC Superstar!!!!
BUT I DONT HAVE THE $$$$$$ FOR NONE!!!
Touch Pro2,
The keyboard has everything you need, especially the rare ctrl key.
Got a TG01 two weeks ago. Quite beta OS but a beautiful device!
TD2 or Hero, although the former is more realistic due to US carrier subsidization. I so want a TP2, but I just can't justify the extra hundred or so for the same lackluster internals. Plus I have smaller hands, and the TD2/Hero would probably be easier to navigate single-handed.
thanks
thanks to all who voted or give their opinion but my new toy will have to wait as I had to help a friend in need
well maybe the successor of the firestone will be something worth waiting for
Hero for me!
for me its a tie between tp2 and hero. but hero it is! all the while i thought the hero and the firestone are one and the same gadget. lol!
Of course TP2 ! Great abilitys , 5-row keyboard ...
The best and newest ! (well the toshiba tg01 is even not bad)
not too much enthusiasm for the firestone I see, shouldn't it be better than the TP2 ? better camera and new UI ok no keyboard but with a bigger screen should be ok the soft keyboard too or I'm missing something?
Hello everybody!
I got my touch pro 2 for 5 months now, but i am interested in the new htc desire.
I dont know, if its worth to sell my touch pro two and get the desire, since there maybe will be an perfect running android version for the tp2.
One of the main reasons, why i want to change, is , that i dont like windows mobile anymore.
Maybe thats because I had an iphone after my good old htc tytn, and i liked the appstore and all the easy apps.
I dont want to go back to the iphone, but i am searching for an alternativ.
And i think, i have found that in android.
What do you think i can get for an 5 month old, well looking, tp2 on ebay?
Do you recommend me to go for the desire?
Or is it worth waiting for windows mobile 7 or an perfect running android?
thx for help, and sorry for my bad english :->
no one an idea ?
android is really taking off fast for the tp2 handset. theres already a stable build of an htc desite rom in the android blacstone forum. it still has its quirks but the progress is very fast. i suggest at least trying android out first on your tp2

so you think keeping the tp2 and wait for a perfect android, would be the best decision?

There will never be a " perfect Android " running on the TPII. While ported versions of non native OS' can be made to run quite well, they will never run as fast or as trouble free as an OS running natively.
If Android is what you want then get one, but remember as soon as WP7s comes out , selling your TPII will be like selling your Pentium II PC.
so you think, i have to decide as fast as possible ?
What do you think i get get atm for an 5month Tp2 ?

$200-300 on ebay.
Do a search of completed listings and you'll get a better idea.
Hi Guys,
I currently have a Touch HD with Energy's Sense 2.5 GTX ROM - currently looking at what I should be upgrading to next though. I am in Aus - so on the Telstra Next G Network.
Currently I have been looking at the HTC HD2 and the HTC Desire.
If people could post some thoughts or suggestions that would be awesome!
I am in a similar position here in the uk on the Vodafone network and have been closely looking at the HD2 but having had loads of problems with my old XDA2 windows software have been holding back........is 6.5 more stable???
The Desire also looks like a fantastic phone but of course has a lot smaller screen which I really want the larger HD2 for......have you considered the X10?
I will keep a close look on this thread good luck on your purchase
