WM7 ??

Guys im sure this has been discussed before but couldnt find anything
any news on wm7 beng released anytime soon?

Not until 2010!
Regards,
Carty..

i did an article over this a little while back, windows mobile 6.5 is due out in a little while, but wm7 is a long way off

well I all I know is that all WM Phone that has been made in the past 6 months should get a FREE upgrade to WM7. I say this because WM7 Should have came out by now but like always MS likes to push dates back and the phones was made for WM7.
and if we dont then I'm saying BYE to WM and HI to iPhone.

thats what i thought - last i checked it was out soon, but that was a while ago - oh well lets see what 6.5 has to offer
2010!! peh! better be good then

Raphael or Dream?!

Hello,
I want to buy a new mda and i'm torn between a Raphael and a Dream...
I'm having trouble choosing between these two.
I mean i'm very curious about the Dream, running Android and all, but on the other hand, looking at the tech. specs, Raphael seems a bit more packed and i could still use IGO. Kind of got used to WM i guess; i currently have a Nike200...
Could anyone please tell me what's your opinion, which one would you choose...?
Thanks.

WM or Android
Welcome to forums
I´ll choose Rapahel definetly
I think Android OS is not mature yet, perhaps in a few years but not now.
Just my 2 cents.
read , search, respect and enjoy!
Good luck,

well..im having a dilemma now too..i tot of buying android phone..but i love to taste the window mobile phone..but i suggest u to take raphael like what orb said is true..but if u have little more money to spent on android phone i would take both.cos i want to get familiar with the OS...

Thank you for the replies. I guess I just needed a little push towards HTC Raphael...

Great choice!!
Then go to Wiki and to Raphael secton and enjoy!

If you are not in a rush, you could even go for the Touch Pro II. T-Mobile already has it available and it is roughly the same that AT&T, Sprint, etc are charging for the Touch Pro/Fuze.
But I agree with orb, Android is far from being done (although the Hero interface does look pretty neat)!

Need some advice regarding future purchase

Hi all, I come here to seek for your valuable knowledge... I'm kind of in the middle of a dilemna here. I want to upgrade from my HTC Touch Diamond, which I love of course, but seems like a VGA screen isn't an option anymore, and the Ram as well as that processor are getting to old and to small for my needs.
So I've been longing for the Touch Pro 2 for about , well, since it was anounced back in february, but then, the Touch HD2 aka Leo showed up, which, IMHO, spec-wise is the phone I want inside the Touch Pro 2... 4.3" is too big for my pocket...
Plus, we're approaching October 6th, so WinMo 6.5 is just around the corner, and I my guts tells me that the Leo is the first of many devices with those specs...
So, basically, here is my question:
Drop off 600 euros for a cellphone whom form-factor I love, with basically the same specs as my Touch Diamond, or wait a couple more months to see what's coming up?

If you can wait a few months, great devices will be announced I´m sure.
if you are in a rush for a good device go for TP2 definitely.

Thank you Orb, I think that's what I will do.
Worst case scenario, I end up bying the TP2 for christmas
If there are more opinions, please feel free to enlighten me!

Seconded. My advice is to wait.

I hope Htc will anounce something else than the Leo tomorrow...

HTC with Keyboard!!
Sure they will.
Let Leo be in the main spot for some weeks more and then another device will displace Leo to 2nd position...
Hopefully this time with a hardware keyboard!!

That would be the best news ever! Leo with a keyboard would be as close to my dream device as possible.
I still need a d-pad, but I might be able to overlook it lol.

Please, please, please, HTC, surprise us with a Touch Pro 2 with all the Leo internals!

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:

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?

There's a sticky at the top of this forum, called [EXCLUSIVE] HTC Portfolio 2010 (Q1-Q2). It has all the 2010 Q1 & Q2 devices with full specs and info. The rest is pretty self explanitory

ROM Comparison chart

I thought I'd leave you all with the ROM comparisons that I did when I was actively using my Universal. Half way through I upgraded to 128 MB, so this is reflected in some of the memory readings.
These are my own personal findings - I tested programs on the ROMs that I was interested in. Perhaps I'm opening a can of worms here, but I hope you find it useful.

Thanks Jonny!
Great information, will add to the FAQ
How do you feel with your new Rhodium?

My new rhodium is great - I'm not looking back! (Oops, perhaps I shouldn't have posted that here!). I know it doesn't run WP7, but there is certainly life in it yet (and I have a lot of bought programs which run on WM6.5 only, so I'm quite happy).

I enjoyed too my Rhodium!
And moved to Leo was a big shock for me coming from a real keyboard line devices...
I expect to go back to keyboard devices soon as I find a similar spec HTC device

Jonny could You paste this file with .xls extention? I don't have Office 2007 and i cannot get into it
Thx in advance

Ok, updated first post to include excel 2003 version Rom Compare3.xls

very useful information!thanks

Great
OMG...
You HAVE used your Uni buddy!
And I thought I was a serious user...still using though...nobody in my town knows what a 128 MB Uni means to me...will just keep it till I grow old.
I'm waiting for a really good WP7 piece...checked one HD7...but the software glithces.. or shortcomings are too many....let's see.

Hey kalya! nice to see you around
Perhaps would be wise to wait for Touch Pro 7

Great job!! Obrigado!

what next?
I don't know Orb...which would be my WP7 handset.
As always , win mo are dull,very down to earth,mature looking gadgets...they will never be fun and I accept that....
Just waiting for a great hardware & the new OS's perfect synchronisation.
Uni was it...we got maximum from it...but my country's mobile network never caught up with the handset.
Just waiting for it...hoping...HTC would almost deliver and I know XDA members will make it perfect.

Yes it´s true...
I have played with WP7 on my Leo and decided to go back to WM/Android as it´s to damn closed platform it seems like apple...
If WM is really dying which I doubt I think I go to Android instead...
Please let me know what you finally decide to upgrade
Cheers,

Maybe Galaxy Tab if nothing good comes out in the near future.
We win mo users don't want a new OS or high config devices as much we need really new --FRESH-- apps,but maybe the new apps reqire both the things..OS+new hardware.
Otherwise I stll have some of the handsets in my sig(and some nokia ones also)
