Hey guys.. I just got the New HTC Whitestone a.k.a Imagio from VZW... Is there gonna be a sub forum for this phone?
It's under the TOPAZ section. The CDMA section there. It's basically a reskined Topaz with a bigger screen and antenna. (So They Say)

I'm wondering the same thing!!! I'm seriously considering taking it back and getting the Verizon Touch Pro 2. I love this phone and the Imagio (Whitestone) and the camera is better than anything I've ever seen on a celli! But then I haven't touched anything in the past couple of years other than iPhones and a few Blackberry's. I'm just tired of coming to this site everyday and watching everybody flashing these beautiful LEO ROMs! It's killing me!!! So what do we do? You're the second person I've met with an Imagio (Whitestone)! So tell me! Are you as frustrated as I am?

Well, no CDMA users have LEO ROMS yet.... I mean, they do but they can't flash them yet as the unlocker hasn't been finished.

ehhh.. patience my friend.. it takes time.. this is the best verizxon has ever offered from htc.. beleive me.. the developers will jump on it pretty soon..
I have faith in this comunity
I think I'll still go ahead and switch to the touch pro 2. Just having a hard time getting used to typing on the keyboard. the letters are incredibly small. Plus the touch pro 2's screen automatically rotates when you open the keyboard and I can't get the screen to rotate when I'm using skyfire. Its kind of frustrating watching video on websites in portrait mode! Actually it sucks!! Any ideas on a way to fix that?

Like I said in post #2 the Imagio is in the TOPAZ forum under CDMA TOPAZ.
Skyfire does not rotate automatically. Search for an app. I think it's G-config, I think. It will allow you to make almost any app auto rotate. The keyboar with the big screen should be easy to use. The buttons aint small and I use a TOPAZ. So the Imagio buttons aint small. I got no nails and big thumbs. You will get used to it and typ fast. Give it a few hours of typing if not then give it a week. Some peoples learning curves are higher.
The imagio is basically the CDMA touch HD. The true topaz/diamond 2 (AT&T Pure) has a much smaller screen, no media flo tuner/antenna, different version of TF3D without location based weather on home screen. The imagio has the exact same specs as the HD. Fundemental differences between the topaz, and whitestone.

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.

If you could get an HTC Dream(G1) would you trade in our Fuze/Raphael?
thoughts, comments, rants
No I wouldn't get the dream, as I'm not a fan of Android.
ive heard that the g1 keyboard is **** but i like having the big screen(ipod touch early adopter)

i used to have a G1 and yes the keyboard sucks like you cant tell if you pressed a button or not. The keys were so soft and there was barely any feedback. That is the one main thing i did not like
not yet I wouldn't, android is still a baby in terms of software, i will eventually dump my fuze for the next HTC//SE android phone, but not right now
I think Im going to look at getting a g1. The fuze is nice and all but i dont care fore tf3d and it is a lot of hype but doesnt really deliver. now just gotta find the stock att fuze rom
the dream is more like a nightmare
I have a Dream/G1 and it is so bad that I dropped t-mobile after 7 years for the Touch Pro on ATT.
Android is nothing more than spyware for google. The phone feels like (scratch that, IS) a toy compared to the Touch pro.
I can not think of one single positive thing about the Dream/Android combo.
nada.
YMMV.
turns out i wouldnt get service anyway due to atts decision to chane he bands up
I am using my VOX for almost one and half years and I am feeling like upgrading to a more recent product. Since many of you are having a wide experience of using PPC I would request you to suggest my next upgrade as to whether to go for a PPC or remain in smartphone. My thinkings/doubts apprehensions are as follows:
1) I am being allured by Touch varieties of WINMO, the reason being, bigger screens, smart looks and above all the wide availability of softwares both in numbers as well as variety. In fact I love to install various apps to my phones and enjoy fiddling with them.
2)UI or Touch Operation : Though I have recently purchased a Nokia 5800 and I have quite well adapted myself fully on Symbian touch screens. I would like to know what are the advices/experiences of actual users in WINMO. By the way the TouchFlow3D/2D attracts me very much and I like the kinetic scrolling and gesture control of WINMO devices.
3)Although it is pretty sure that I will go for HTC (of course due to this huge and unique support of XDA-DEVELOPERS) is there any other practically viable alternative?
4)The battery lives of WINMOs are generally poorer than symbian etc. What about battery lives of PPC in comparison to Smartphone (WinMOs)?
Thanks
Hey
I can't answer all your questions, but here are my 2 cents:
For battery life the s710 is awesome. Online reviews of other phones will tell you what to expect from a new phone, you'll have to do the research.
Personally, I wanted my phone to be a PHONE with internet,etc on the side.....rather than a mini-internet browser with some phone functionality on the side (if you see what I mean), which is why I went for an s710.
The next best option I see is this, and I was considering this for myself at one point: http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=161302
Basically I think you'll have to decide what you want out of the phone. Do you want to be fiddling with a stylus to send texts? Ive been told touchscreens won't work out if its drizzling outside and specks of water are splashing on the screen. Touchscreen is cool, it's just not as precise as a keypad.
There are loads of advantages to PPC's (many of which you know). You'll just have to figure out what suits you personally.
(also there's no alternative to doing the leg work.....if you want to find the best deal out there, you'll have to do the research).
Oh and also, if you find something cool let me know.....
What about the HTC Hero?

Hero is a Android phone which I am interested in. I will only restrict my choice within WinMO.
I'm going to "upgrade" in 2 months. I'm going for the Touch Pro 2.
It has WM 6.1 pro with a free upgrade from HTC to 6.5, the big keyboard, high res screen (480*800).
Further it has 3G, GPS.
To me it looks like a kick-ass phone. I'm saving up money for it right now
Grtz,

It sure is!
The diamond 2 has almost the same features, only no keyboard. And since the Vox i don't think i can live without
But it's all up to you
REEEEALLLLLLLLLY bored with it...
Nobody wants to see this ****. Post this somewhere else.
mind your business noob....
This should not be posted in the upgrading section. Please don't clutter this forum with threads like this. They really don't contribute in any way!
I believe that a lot of people agree with you that it's a boring device when it comes to ROM's etc. On the other hand you can still tweak it a lot!
I use a TouchPro2 now but I just can't get rid of my Pro 'cause it's such a good device for me
Hope there will be some new life into this thread when the Pro get's released by other providers.

As a matter of fact yes, we have an unlocker and 3 roms to choose from, but all 3 are not working the way they should. We need more cooks and more testers before things get released that simply do no work.
why don't you just ditch the phone and get an htc hero when it comes out. that's what i am going to do, eventually (probably dec 15, my birthday, when i get $$$). the phone was once good but now obsolete. there are so much better phones than it coming out if not already out.
Bored with your Treo Pro?
Give it to me, i have a Tilt2 (Touch Pro 2) and I'm just as bored it not more. (Wow i been around since 2006 and this is my first post begging for a phone) Sad.
trade?
I will trade you for a used HTC fuze if you want...I am bored with it as well and am looking for something with a front facing keyboard...but its gotta be a gsm treo pro

Damn,... I wish I could trade it with you,.. sadly mine is GSM subsidized.. so I can't get rid of it. Love my Treo Pro,.. but I'm as bored as anyone.. I carry it and my Touch Pro2 and I still can't get enough of the eye candy on Sense..
Wish someone brought Sense to a 320x320 device..
the treo pro is a much better phone over the Fuze or TP
I traded my TP for Treo Pro and... I never once after like 6 months thought about the TP. I did not miss a single thing about it.
Not so boring anymore--Try Androkkid and add programs
The windows today screen is boring but the Treo Pro can be updated with a launcher. Adrokkid gives you the android feel,is fully customizable and works ok on the 320x320 screen. Cab express 4.0 is a great program to update your Treo Pro. Lets you see utilities and more, see ratings and instant download. Battery usage can be limited by doing manual updates on email, weather and gps. Otherwise Treo is constantly checking same.
@Sagitario
I'm using Pointui with Pointsense theme. Search for 320x320 on Community section of website. www.pointiu.com

You can use a cooked rom on this device too
im getting a new phone but dont know what to get. I want something with a capacitive screen and it has to be pretty fast what do you guys reccomend. I was thinking omnia hd but from what I read no one knows if they are going to be getting updates or anything so i dont really want it now and no iphones not a big fan. So what phone do you guys think are good and fast thanks
The HTC Leo kinda sounds like what you want. It has the same minimalist form factor that the iPhone has, but it has a massive capacitive screen and a 1 Gigahertz Qualcomm Snapdragon Processor, so speed is certainly not an issue. If you want more info, you can view pictures and datasheets here. However, keep in mind that it hasn't been released yet, so some info may be subject to change.
is it going to come out some time soon because i want to get the phone within a month
No, it will take longer to come out, have a look on touch pro 2 if you want a hardware keyboard or Hero, or diamond 2
Those are the best available
the only one out of those that i actually like is the hero because im looking for a capacitive phone but its not really an upgrade from my g1 i want something a little better.

how is the resistive on the touch pro 2 is it really sensitive. Would it be easy to text message with the touch screen
The resisitive is quite good, but honestly having that great keyboard I never use on screen keyboard
New here
how are you and how is your work?My name is brayden and nice to meet you guys.I am so happy to join in here.Have a good day!
Capacitive? The only Windows Mobile with capacitive is the upcoming Leo.
Then there's the other OS's.
Android: Hero?
iPhone.
Symbian: Omnia HD?
We are xda-devs, and specialize in WinMos. Which currently don't support capacitive ;P
dang that hecka sucks i had a nokia n810 which was capacititve drove me nuts lol. God so those are the three i have to choose from huh? well i guess it might as well be the iphone i already have the g1 love it but im bored with it lol.
