Hey guys i just got the HTC Touch Pro 2. i just wanted to say this phone is like the wing on crack and steriods. I highly recommend this phone its very very nice

and what about this on

Ever since I left my Tmobile Shadow (Juno) for the G1, I've been missing Windows Mobile phones. I am so thinking about the touch pro, but the price is just too steep...
Tmobile version of Tp2 sucks!
They made it uglier by removing the chrome, took off the secondary front facing camera, and changed the beautiful original HTC black and white theme w/ real flip clock. If it wasn't for the US 3G, I would have gotten the original htc tp2.
Speaking of flip clocks, does anybody know how to change tmobiles non-flipping clock just like what they have on the original htc tp2? I tried the sprint2flipclock.cab, changed my clock, but won't expand in landscape and removed my world timer. Thanks to anybody who can help in advance.

You could try to flash the phone, use custom roms.
Thanks, I didn't think it would be too much hassle just to replace a non- flipping clock with real flip clock. Thought it would be just a cab file. Hopefully, the free WM 6.5 upgrade has the real flip clock, don't know how long I have to wait though...

Have you even looked at any of the new 6.5 today screens ?
Hope you are not too fixated on that flip clock.

Hi, I guess, that's the newest beta of Wisbar Advance Desktop 2.0 Beta 2 (http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=59), which has the ability to "slide your today screen". You can have many today screens with different plugins on them. It looks like someone made a very good looking theme for it . I'm not sure about the slide to unlock thing, but I think it could be done with Wisbar Advance Desktop as well.
Does anyone know this "slide to unlock thing"?
search for s2u2 its made by A_C
S2U2 0.99p is the latest

dude slide to unlock had been around for a while.
plus i dnt want those things. if i wanted an iphone i would have bought one which is much cheaper than the touch cruise in nyc. if i wanted an even cheaper iphone i could have bought a hiphone which is the clone to the iphone and is twice cheaper. i dnt want no iphone so i dont wont my cruise operating like an iphone.

I agree, I really don't see what the skin my WM phone to look like an iphone excitement is about. The iPhone is cheaper, bigger, and has less capabilities than our phones. Besides all that, the last thing I want is to lose the ability to see upcoming appointments, tasks, and such on my home screen. Losing that, so I can have Iphone icons on the homescreen completely defeats the purpose of having a PDA in my phone.
I'm all for eye-candy, but seriously, the iPhone has great transitions and animations, but its homescreen is not sexy at all.

Wow - a truly great today screen. It's the sliding today that I'm after just like in the video. Wisbar Advance Desktop doesn't have obvious instructions....does anyone have this nailed yet that I can just download?
its slide to unlock pro. i know where u an find it but its at that place where we need not mention in this forum. no hackers allowed. try www.freewareppc.com or pocketpcfreeware.com or u know what. that thing people use alot: oh oh i know GOOGLE!!!
I know I'm super late but today I managed to play with a Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. Honestly that phone is hands down the best WM6.1 phone to have come out in 2008. I fell inlove with the interface. Is it possible to put that interface on the ATT Fuze? I would LOVE my phone if it was possible.

i feel like teh fuze with spb 3 is AMAZING. beats the iphone in terms of UI (now taht the portrait landscape bug is apparently fixed). try that? it has a carousel which you can configure to work like the tabs that the x1 has as well

yeah i played with one a month or two ago and it was fun
i don't tihnk there's any way to unless you flash an x1 rom? I don't think this would be all too stable thoguh...i haven't seen any apps or skins or shells for this though. IMO SPB MS3 comes teh closest to that experience, but it's not teh same, i know
I havnt purchased my HTC Pure yet but I do plan on getting one. In the meantime I was curious.
Is it possible to load the HTC Sense UI from the HTC HD2 and load it on the ATT Pure?
The HTC Sense UI im talking about is the one found in this youtube vid I found on Endgadget
http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/08/htc-hd2-gets-itself-a-promo-video-and-a-website/#continued
You would need to flash this ROM
So would that particular rom be possible on the ATT Pure? Or would hardware differences prevent it from running like its being ran on the HD2
You should be able to flash it no problem but since the Hardware Keyboard on the Pure is different from all variants of the Diamond2 then you would have to find a cab or registry tweak to change keyboard layout.
Edit: The ROM is built for Diamond2 even though it's using packages from the HD2
Pure has no hardware keyboard
The pure doesn't have a hardware keyboard, and yes, there are numerous ROMs cooked by chiefs already that have the sense UI found in the HTC Leo (aka HD2). You just have to pick one and flash away
lol what was I thinking, yes at the time of my last posting I was thinking so much of the Tilt2 as I had just placed an order for it.

Yea, I have the Pure, but debating about returning it for the Tilt 2, if only for the larger screen space. But the camera on the Pure is really good compared to the Tilt 2 (5 MP vs. 3.2 MP). Oh, what to do????
it all bottoms down to whether you want a keyboard or not. if you have a phone i'm guessing you have a digital camera so you probably won't be using said phone to take studio quality photos, just quick snaps here and there. and the .4 inches in the screen also won't make a big deal. if you can type pretty well on the pure and what to save some money stick with the pure. if you are a person who prefers a physical keyboard and the price doesn't matter to you get the tilt 2.
Maybe this phone exists somewhere but if so, I haven't found it - and not for lack of searching. It all started with a 2007 Shadow. I loved the slim size and slide-out form factor, could live with WinMo if I had to but hated the 2.0 mp camera and non-touch screen.
I've tried the Incite, the Kaiser and currently use a G1 for day to day but none of them made me as happy as my Shadow. Part of it's because if I need to make a call I don't like the touch screen dialer. Another factor is the Blackberry-like keyboard arrangement on the Shadow - I really liked it. (I could never master texting using the usual numeric keys.) It's too cumbersome to pop out the G1 or Tilt keyboard, especially dealing with stupid automated phone systems.
I like HTC phones a lot because of the community but am beginning to wonder if somewhere out there is a phone better suited for me. I'd like to stay in the Android fold but does anyone have any suggestions? Has to be GSM and unlockable because I use a weird local carrier, too, although I might consider going back to Sprint (gag) for the perfect phone.

The Palm Pre might suit you...although there is always more to get out your device when you are running WinMo or Android on an HTC device. WebOS is fantastic but you're stuck with what they give you.

I played with a Pre at a local kiosk and was impressed by how nice it was but not enough better than the G1 to go back to Sprint. Now if the GSM version becomes more affordable and available, maybe...
Thanks,
Terry - now if I could just do a camera transplant on a touch dual
It would be something like this:
VGA 4" screen
From factor like HTC Universal
2ghz processor
1gb RAM
Hardware keyboard
Slim nice design
Made by HTC
A mix of Universal, Rhodium and Leo
I guess I have to wait till 2011 or 2012...
I remember reading that android was working quite well on the HTC Nike a while back. That's the same slide format as the shadow.

It is so very close, but I'm spoiled by the ability to do bar code scanning with the G1. AFAIK, the 2.0 cameras can't do that - which is why I made the comment about the camera transplant. I guess I could look into the port a little closer to see if they made it work or not.

hey folks! tomorrow (or hopefully tonight since i'm impatient) i'm finally getting my Tilt 2!!! yay! been waiting a while for this one! i've stuck with my Tilt waiting for the Tilt 2 for a while (no money), but i'm finally getting it! does anyone know if it comes with WM 6.5 or WM 6.5.x?
also, it comes loaded with touchflo already, but i haven't gotten my hands on one yet other than the store model, which isn't even the real phone. anyone know if the touchflo it comes loaded with has weather on the home screen? it doesn't appear to on the box, but i have no clue how close the pic on the box is to how it actually looks out of the box.
and last, but not least, any suggestions for must-have apps or tweaks? i'm no slouch. i've modded the ever-living stuff out of my Tilt. touchflo with custom icons and tabs, all sorts of software, Shifu ROM, etc, etc. just not sure if all this stuff is going to work on my Tilt 2. i assume that depends on the WM version.
i read yesterday that it has dual speakers now and that to activate the speakerphone, you just flip the phone over. does that mean i can play the driving games (and others) that you tilt the phone to steer? i don't bother with solitaire or bubbles on my phone. too boring. but a driving game might be worth having on there! well, time to start ROM hunting so i'll be prepared as soon as i get it. thanks in advance for any answers you might be able to provide me.
Waiting impatiently,
Chris
AT&T's HTC Tilt 2 comes with 6.5, and so far, no indication of an update to anything more recent (at least not officially).
The stock ROM's clock on the home screen also does not display weather at all.
As for ROMs, you may want to look at the Rhodium/Tilt2 forums for something that suits your needs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=490
The phone does have an accelerometer, so it can detect tilt and motion, and if the game supports that fucntion, can be controller with it.
