This question is for the moderators....
I think this board is great, but I think it needs a newbie section. somewhere newbies can go to get an overview of what with the phones.
I'm asking for this just because I am a real newbie I inherited a XDA phone from my nephew because he upgraded to the XDA III I think and I have no Idea what is going on.
I think there are common things between all the phones that can be explained such as rom versions, design etc.
thanx
If you take a look at the top of your screen, you will see an link to http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
Ever tried this?

Hi guys
as you all know , samsung i780 is one of the most powerful pda with a slick design , it grabs your attention even if you hate samsung company, its really a special pda
so my suggestion is why we dont make a separate thread for this device, a thread that has sub threads like general , upgrading and roms hacking, accessories and FAQ, like the one for tytn II or touch curise
so what all of you think ?
thank and best regards,

Thanks lembee
Seems that this phone is selling very well, at least in europe.
A dedicated room makes absolutely sense.
I would
also love that ! Just stopped using my Tytn II and is using my new i780 as my primary device - the Tytn II is in the drawer. But I love XDA so I would love to have a i780 section event though it aint an HTC phone
thank guys
lets hope we get separate section for samsung i780
would be cool but i gues all owner of this phone think so
I completely agree, finding infor on the i780 is pretty difficult and it would make things easier to make a special topic for it. I have been using the i780 for two weeks now.

lets hope the owners of this forum do it for all of us
It would be nice to have a section dedicated to the Samsung i780!!!
I hope.
Thanks
Agree with everyone !!! Since i780 is the first 320 X 320 device. New section will help everyone to discuss in future...........
I'm agree too
This phone is one of the best on WM...
Thank you all guys (dariog78, harrisoon and sebastientoussaint)
it seems there are alot of people who are interested on this device ,therefore a new section is really needed for this device.
I jst traded in my HTC Hermes for a new Samsung i780 and loving it. It would be nice to be able to share all the tips and tricks with other people.
Thanks!
seems like i780 is a very popular phone..
I agree, the I780 must have it's own home. I have a herald, but when I got my hands on this baby, wow nothing like it. We should start to encourage developers for this new kind of screen.
While I have no doubt that the Samsung i780 is a good phone I must say that it should NOT get its own section here.
On the Main Page you will see this....

Welcome to xda-developers.com
This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a firm called HTC in Taiwan. Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN', but almost nobody knows them by those names. The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA', and that's what we had in our hands first. They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56, Hermes and many, many other names.

So Unless I missed something in my search, The Samsung device is not made by HTC. I'm all for there being a Developers Forum for a Samsung Device. If I had some web hosting space left I'd offer to host it. However this is an HTC site and I think it should be kept that way.

but as you can see in the devices section, there are sections for HP ipaq and Palm Treo 750, and from my knowlege HP ipaq and palm treo 750 are not htc devices therefore we dont see any problem to have a section for samsung i780 since the hp ipaq and palm treo 750 had, also the samsung i780 is a special case because the resolution of its display is 320*320 which means it will has its own programs and games, thats why it is important to have a section specially for this device
@AbdullahT
HTC is the manufacturer of the Treo 750 and several HP iPaq smartphones. So it's normal that they have their place on the XDA-forum.
@JimmyMcGee
While I agree with you that this forum is all about developing for HTC manufactured devices I still think the i780 should have it's own place here on this forum. First of all, this site has been created in order to port Linux to the XDA. That aspect got somewhere sort of lost, since this forum talks more about porting the latest Windows Mobile versions to older devices and writing Windows Mobile software to enhance the experience with Windows Mobile devices then porting Linux to HTC devices. So this forum has evolved and I can't see why it couldn't evolve into a forum that also talks about other then HTC manufactured smartphones.
Personally I would welcome a dedicated i780 section. It would make finding information about tweaking the i780 a lot more easier. The main problem is, that there are other popular smartphones around, like the LG KS20 which also deserve their own section.
In my humble opinion I think the current structure of this forum doesn't allow anymore for adding more smartphones. So I think it would be a wise idea to rethink the current structure. I would think more in terms of activities then in terms of different devices.
go for it!
Will the samsung moment be getting a section here in xda?
Welcome to forums
This has been discussed several times before
We are an HTC devices only forum and non HTC devices won´t have a section now or in the future.
other fourm?
hmm... I've just converted from the vogue, to the moment... so after getting used to the high quality of work and posts of all the members here, i'm hoping that there will be a fourm for the samsung moment that even slightly compares.
If it's not against the rules, does anyone know of a high quality fourm that will support the samsung moment?
ppc geeks - samsung moment
I put a request out there for a fourm:
here is the link:

Those palm and sony xperia were built by HTC
the moment's still kicking - sprint said it couldn't run froyo but it does (and more) thanks to sdx - I know I'd appreciate a small moment forum here - occasionally it's helpful to reach out to people for help who aren't on the other site
The moment was a rock solid phone that took all the root and rom abuse that I could throw at it. It is still kicking for a fairly large group.
From a humble noob to XDA
Good Day! I've just registered on this forum, and would appreciate any help if anyone can give me links to the threads where I can find apps/games for my Samsung Omnia 2...
I tried looking for my model here and unfortunately can't find it yet...
My phone's resolution is 480x800 and currently runs on Windows Mobile 6.1...
A good zip utility with password support would be a great help...
Thanks in advance!!!

we specialize in htc devices here so you wont find much if anything for the omnia, maybe you should look in the Windows Mobile software development section and Windows Mobile applications and games also check the threads from other wvga devices like the HD/HD2 as most of the software will be compatible with your samsung
Thanks a lot! I fell stupid for asking that question but I think there's no hurt in trying... Thanks again!
Ofcourse you should ask the admins here dont mind people with non HTC devices using the resorces of the site and if you ever have a problem with your omnia you could always ask in the off topic section here, im sure other omnia owners would be happy to help you
Thanks, I will definitely try that... Looking at the Leo thread as I'm writing this... Thanks a bunch again!
Hi everyone I'm new here and know quite little about phones.
My question is how do I install the latest build of Windows Mobile on my Samsung Omnia II?
Also should I be worried of damaging my device? ie. Bricked Screen
Thanks.
Hi, Welcome to the forum, unfortunately this site is dedicated to HTC devices so you will not find many answers here
You may want to try modaco.com or maybe other xda members might know a site that will be able to help you
