Treo 680's Palm OS® 5.4.9 on the Treo 750v... I wonder, is it possible?
Maybe, I think that the 680 shares the same hardware...
The screen resolutions are not the same....WM is 240x240, Palm is 320x320.
Why on earth would you want to swap a new WM5 OS for an at least 5 year old PalmOS (basis PalmOS 5)

Second that question *ggg*
It is possible!
Actually, it's WM5 that has compatibility issues with 320x320 screen resolution, not the Treo hardware. Once again we can thank Microsoft for not having thought of this possibility.
Why do I want to swap it? Because as I suspected, it's twice as fast as the 650 with Palm OS on it and I am disappointed with WM5's performance on the 750v. Plus 240x240 is a step back as far as I'm concerned.
The 750v does take the Palm OS 5.4.9 on 320x320 and it's a breeze!

True WM5 doesn't support 320x320 but it does support 480x480 today which is pixel doubling from 240x240. Just because you want 320x320 today, don't slam MS, they were actually thinking forward with the resolution to future devices and screens. Read about it here if you want the MS perspective.

As for the 680, does it support UTMS? I was under the impression the POS was unable to support UTMS data networks...
The hardware between the 680 and the 750 are totally different. They only look similar.
Please let the Palm OS die...
I was playing with the 680 this week and they are not the same hardware. Its just the same shell, different screen res, memory card type, and the buttons are positioned differently.

Yes, but they were made at the same time. Like the 700's: W and P. If they could put UMTS in a Palm phone, they would have.
Treo 750v with Palm OS!
Is Palm OS really possible on Treo 750v?? Does someone know how to get there?
I have 750v in German and I need English on it...?
Have to say that after Treo 650, MS OS on 750v is crap and slow as rented mule!!!
Voilition - You want Palm OS on 750v ?
K.. I'll trade you my 680 for your 750v and you have what you need and I will too... Lemmeknow....

It is NOT possible and it will never be possible. They are different hardware.
If you want Palm OS apps on WM, just get Styletap. Best of both worlds.
http://www.styletap.com/
Styletap is quite primitive though.... its like one step back...
the appearance of palm app on styletap is horrible due to the 240/320 pixel alignment. I can imagine how bad it looks like for Palm OS on 750v hardware

I had the 650 and I now have the 750v and I can't say that the 750v is slow.
It always depends on the installed programs, if you install a lot of third party "crap", don't be surprised. Also try to keep your programs up-to-date, sometimes an update can do wonders to memory management.
As to Palm OS on the 750v: IMPOSSIBLE, completely different hardware. The Treo 680 has a pretty "basic" GSM part, nothing else. While the Treo 750v has a Quadband GSM phone and a Triband UMTS module. Difference is like day and night.
wtf are you talking about? tro 755p or whatever one that looked like the treo 750.....blue one, has the same hardware that treo 750 the same palm os 230x230 screen and perfectly works on treo 750,i have already tried it resulting in a new treo 755p, however you first have to remove and add some inner parts of the treo 755p to the 750, for the wich you better stay with wm 5 or 6 now....

ive discovered why it works with my treo and no in others, it has nothing to do with resolucion its all the same, but the treo 750 its actually a wifi missing htc hermes rebuild, its basically a hermes with treo look and no wifi.....

Welcome to the forum!
My vote goes for HD
I agree with orb that it's HD for 2008!
bty, there are already many threads on this "best" subject...
all i see anywahere is alk about the HTC touch. never used one but i guess it has to be a great phone
I think it should be the HTC Touch Diamond, because it's internet memory of 4gb

why X1?
Fuze/raphael/HD does everything X1 does, minus the $1000 price tag and pkus better performance.
Fuze and G1 get my vote
......sneaks in....
iPhone?
.....runs VERY fast and very far away......

LMAO.... if it was "best overrated toy of 2008"
if best pda means best specs, features, and style... touch pro all the way
but i vote for the Titan for the sole reason that its over a year old and has gone through it all and still up to date with current models. from locked to unlocked gps, crappy internet speeds to evdo rev-a upgrade, wm6.0 to wm6.1, from standard wm today to htc home to manila2d etc. etc.
unlike the iphone who needed to release a 2nd gen model just to get 3g speeds
TOUCH PRO! ...with an extended battery.

Hmmm, you should have added a vote with the most common devices listed!
However, 'BEST PDA' is really a personal opinion - it all depends what you use it for! There are certain criterias, so, if you ask me about the keyboard, I most likely would say: Tytn II. If you ask me about the performance and features, I would say: OMnia. If you ask me about the design, well, I can't help it: X1!!!
Samsung i780...
A701 rules
I'm still using the A701 and I think it's a good allround device.

By that criteria it should be the Nokia N97 since it has 32 GB of ROM.

The X1 has more RAM than any of the phones you listed and a higher resolution screen than all but the HD.
..and xperia looks way better than others, also got keybord and xpanels which are more useful than touchflo3d also better battery, and camera(pictures are looking better on screen on x1 than on others, only hd got more MPX) and LED
Touch Diamond.
Small and sexy with sharp display, only negative about the device is the poor battery.
thats why there is an comm-menager to switch on/off the data and wifi and bluetooth on this device?
and thats why u get an charger in your box with it
AND THE WINNER IS......
SONY ERICSSON XPERIA X1 [SEX1] !!!
(IMHO)
Why ?? Well, matter of choices really, I won't argue; just speak out my oppinions:
Sony has done a cool blend of high tech and art here. A real "convergence device". HTC is GREAT, but HTC+SONY=SYNERGY !!!
I've had the tytn, diamond, blackstone... none of them gathered what Sony put in here:
1- beutiful WVGA screen
2- handsome and sexy metal case
3- cool LEDs
4- "bunny-forever" big battery
5- biggest RAM in the market
6- hardware keyboard
7- Sony's "panels" interface with the neat Sony media panel
8- etc etc etc
LOL, I just don't see that this thread is going anywhere ... evry1 has a different opinion anyway, so, what is the point ???
Agree
Perhaps if all can vote here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446362 (Only devices made by HTC and supported on this site)
We could get concrete results
I seen this topic before but i made this one because some people may put here pda's like Asus or something... i didnt meant only HTC devices and only made in 2008
i love the effects and style of sony ericsson timescape & mediascape.
can we have it somehow in HD2?
I believe your refering towards the Android UI for SE X10. May be if someone can create a similar interface which replaces Sense UI.
Besides I would like to see someone port this SE X2 3D Panels.

SonyEricsson is releasing the X10 with Android 1.6 because they're having troubles converting the shell to Android 2.0.
So I think it's kinda impossible to get timescape running on Windows Mobile.
Man... I think Sony should definitely make a Timescape-like panel and a Mediascape like panel for X2 .. Think it would actually make the x2 worth the $ .. Otherwise will continue to make the xperia devices shine and set apart from other devices in a positive way.
Hi Guys,
Im planning to buy an affordable android phone this year and my target is HTC Wildfire or the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini.
For you guys, w/c is better between this two phones? I know in terms of camera and audio quality x10 mini is the best
Ive read that wildfire have some great extra features
Pls advise.
Thanks
I've been debating this also, the gf needs a new phone, but I don't know what to suggest.
The only thing that's stopping me from recommding the wf outright is the screen resolution, my magic's screen size is the same as the wf, but the wf has half the pixels, I can imagine it would look pretty ****ty.
Here's my comparison:
Wildfire
3.2" QVGA
528mhz
384mb RAM
Sense UI
No Keyboard
Xperia
2.8" QVGA
600mhz
128mb RAM
Timescape
Keyboard
My friend has the wildfire and she is pleased with it. Make sure you're OK with with the resolution

Okay. The problem is my Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 has a digitizer ( ClearPad 2000 ) which supports Dual touch, but really it doesen't have it since Sony Ericsson cripled the chip that handles that. So we only have 1 touch only but due to our Developers on the X8 forums we have fake pinch to zoom which is not really good. So is there any way to uncriple this? I mean its right thare but somehow blocked out in hardwere or something.
Not sure if no one can help, or no Dev is online
No one cares
If the X8 developers can't do it, then nobody else can, except Sony of course
