Htc Sapphire (Magic) or HTC Dream (G1) - General Topics

Hi, this is my first post
So, I want to buy an Android device.
Which one would you choose?
I see that there's more Dream Android's Developing than Sapphire developing;
also the different versions of Sapphire (Roger's, Vodafone, HTC Branded) are... messy...
What's your opinion?
Sorry, my english is kind of weird

Welcome to the forum
You have great choices!
I would go for Dream just because the keyboard!
It is a must for me

HTC Prophet forum

When can we have an forum dedicated to the HTC Prophet? This phone has been out for a month now and this is probably the time where people would need a forum most.
I will fully support the opening of this section too.

So you bought the Prophet (Dopod 818 pro from expansys?). I'm still waiting to fork out the 500,00+ euro's.
Still happy with my Magician.
Is the Bluetooth headset caller id working on the Prophet? (as it was on my P800 2 years ago)
Still little BUGS.... I read device has to be on...
(I keep the device in my pocket off, I want to here who is calling me before I pick up the phone, P800 could do that 2 years ago...)
That would be a BIG + for me to buy the Prophet.
On the other hand I'm missing GPS and 3G. (DECT would be nice 2)
Still hoping a bit for wm 2005 on my Magician or the Bluetooth caller id
to be hacked out of the wm 2005. Although everyone here say’s it’s a hardware problem.
On topic: YES there should be a HTC Prophet forum. I like to read people’s experiences with the device.
there is a special forum for website related matters. don't forget to post there as well.

I read on Mobile-review:
HTC Prophet is a complete copy (both software and hardware are meant) of HTC Wizard. On the other hand, it's equal to HTC Magician in appearance

So I think that's the reason ad/mod do not want to open a new box for HTC Prophet.

No no no....The Prophet is NOT equal to the Magician in appearance! The Charmer is. :roll:
The prophet is a bit like in appearance but certainly not equal. :wink:
agree ..
prophet at least had wifi (802.11g)
charmer is really like a copy of magician ...

Re Prophet Forum
Hey all
After a month of enjoyment of my wizard, have just managed to sell it on E-Bay and ordered my Prophet (I-Mate Jamin) of Expansys, as did not find the Keyboard quite as usefull as I thought still could not match CalTech Quick writing as an input system, however nice machine if you like keyboards, just wanted a smaller machine with WiFi and had my doughts about the long term durability of the keyboard & stylus, so come lets get that Prophet Forum going its on releas with expansys on Friday and it is a HTC item unlike the XDA atom, and I think it is going to be very popular amoungst the none keyboarders,
Regards Ash'e
Yes looks the best of the new small wm5 devices. I just hope O2 have it in the UK when my contract is up for renewal. I did email them when I saw O2 Germany was releasing it and, of course, got the pointless reply
> Thank you for contacting O2 Customer Service.

Hong Kong-based, but it's all in English... feel free to join us!

OK, I've read the review. I still stand by what I said. Also, so Mobile Review it would seem:
The appearance has not changed much from the HTC Magician's time, it just got rounder. Side edges are not splay as earlier, but slightly project. The body is made of a less smooth, almost dull black material (the front part is of metal, and the back and sides are made of plastic).

It is very similar - but not identical (equal in appearance)
The Charmer is identical.

i created a group of forums for prophet stuff.

Official T-Mobile Mytouch 3G XDA-Forum???

Will there be an actual T-Mobile Mytouch 3G Forum or will it be mixed in with the Sapphire?
No kidding.
It deserves its own forum.
http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/...apabilities-and-sherpa-application-confirmed/
this site say that the device is htc magic it already got it's own forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=480
As far as I understand the original HTC name is Magic, no matter if any crazy mobile carrier change it´s name, design or specs, so if I´m right here´s the forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=480
And if so no other forum will be created, I believe...
I see your point but the fact is the Magic is european and myTouch is American.
Dont they also have different spl's etc.?

the magic is world wide, not just European.. Just like the dream was worldwide, but the G1 was US..
as a mytouch owner I dont see a reason for it to have its own forum.. Eventually it will get rooted & it will get its own how to root sticky.. From there its just another sapphire..

Wow.....Xperia has a european and american version
Touch Pro2 has european and american version
Touch Pro has european and american version
alot of phones have european and american version
What is your point?
I guess my point is..someone like you would jump on this thread and be a complete asshat and offer absolutely nothing of value.
The fact of the matter is Much that goes on in the Magic forum just doesnt apply to whats happening here in the states.

Then what about the Google ION.. Its hardware is 100% identical to the MyTouch as its also does T-Mo 3g here in the US.. Or wait we better not exclude the Voda version as it also uses the 32B board like the ion & the MyTouch & it even has the same amount of ram..
There is no reason for the MyTouch to get its own forum.. & This is coming from a MyTouch owner..
If the forums get too specific then the growth on what can be done stops.. Hence the CDMA phones that have there own forums.. There US only & pale in comparison to most of the GSM based phones forums that are combined.. Hence look at the Wizard Forum.. There are specific revisions that must be addressed when flashing roms But they all still get along in the same forum..
Fact of the matter is that if there was a forum for every phones individual revision then we would be overwhelmed as there has to be several hundred individual forums...
Edit: & Oh by the way calling someone an asshat for pointing out facts that contradict your small minded way of thinking is a pretty dumb thing to do..

Should I got HTC Windows Mobile or Android?

I am waiting for the Sony Xperia X10 to come out, but was wondering, what is the best Windows Mobile device coming out that will be able to run windows mobile 7?
I was waiting for the HTC HD2 , but understand it is not able to use 3g on At&t's network.
I like the Sony and not sure what the pro's of having windows mobile would be. Looking for a upcoming windows mobile device to contend with the Xperia.
Welcome to forums
Wll I would choose an HTC device because the great support of this site.
As for the new models, have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=595648
I´m not sure about which one will be able to run WM7
I would stay with WM as Android is to young and unmature OS for now, I´m sure in the near future will be great.
Just my opinion
Good luck,
That being said, what is going to be the best WM device say through Feb 2010?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=599210
Thanks that helps!
Anything new coming out 1st Q of 2010 worth mention?

I did, but as you know those are existing WM devices. Im asking about new ones coming out first quarter of 2010....

HTC Magic or HTC Tattoo

I am being offered from my service provider, any of the two for the same cost. So....which one and why?
I kinda like the teeny-ness of the the Tattoo, but I dunno if the Magic is much better, a bit dated perhaps, but....not all dated phone are out-of-date.
Cheers,
Paul
Go for Magic!
when it comes to touch screen devices, this rules: the bigger the screen, the better! this is the first thing u must pay attention to. u can customize the magic later, with for example Sense UI. Good Luck!
