Buying New Phone Need Advice - General Questions and Answers

last week i started a thread looking to see if i could get a hero.. in the US (currently live in london) that would work in the uk.. the awnser i got was NO... so im looking at any phone.. prefrably something like a hero or a xperia that i could get while in LA and where i might be able to buy one SIM UNLOCKED... at the moment i have a touch diamond and well its really ****... so i don't want anything like it..(my 2005 i mate jam was faster...) so any help is a great help to me as i am rather out of touch with the HTC market at the moment ..

Touch Pro 2 is actually a great device, if you like hardware keyboard is the best on the market
have a look on marketplace section, you can find great deals sometimes
Good luck,

Replacing my Universal...

Hello there, I'm planning to replace my HTC Universal after great 3 years of working! and I'm still pleased with it to be honest!
My new PPC should has a keyboard, so my question is simple! is the HTC Raphael the good choice to go with?
I know there is the SE X1 as another choice, but I think I liked the HTC more
What do you think?
so guyz...no replys at all?
I really like my Raphael and as far as i worked with it, i had no problems and would recommend it.
There are (of course) some bugs, but they can be fixed with progs out of this forum. So if u are not afraid of spending some time in setting up ur raphael this could be ur new favourite.
The keyboard is pretty good (for my opinion), the buttons are small, but i don't have a problem hitting the right one, even though i got thicker fingers.
If u have some specific questions just ask, i'll see if i can answer.
hi there
having used the universal and then using a hermes as a day-to-day device and now the raphael i can only say that im glad i bought one!
the size of the device is simply astonishing for what has been crammed into it
what do you primarily use your device for?
the universal is a well seasoned device with much support and it appears the raphael is heading that way too!
Thanx guyz,
No problem at all with spending time fixing bugz cause really I like these stuff and I enjoy searching and fixing...that's what kept me from replacing my Universal
good to hear that about the keyboard, cause I really need it and I think by time I should be used to it...
yup, the size is a great thing compared to the huge universal for sure I'm now a medical resident...so I will use it to have some books around me all the time beside its internet & phone cababilities...
there is nothin specific now in my mind to ask, but I got a positive impression in general and I think I'm gonna buy it soon
I'll get back to you!

Wow! Those are fabulous prices....get them all !!
Personally, I'm not into devices with keyboards so it's a toss up between HD and Diamond 2. From your list....HD all the way! But that's just me.
Also not into keyboards, so get the HD now or wait for the Diamond 2.
well im not into keyboard devices also, its just there isn't that many new htc phones to choose from ( no diamond hated lol)
what concerns the prices, i live in New York and a lot of retail stores here attract customers with such discounts, if you get a contract from us for example we will give you such and such off. ( but maybe they do that everywhere)
by the way will i have any problems with using internet with HD since it has no 3G in US?
but thanks anyways guys for your replies, its my first post. hope to hear for advice
happy passover and Easter to everyone.

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!

Fuze or Xperia

ok so i want to get an experia really bad but idk if its better then my fuze... could someone please help me make a choice? everytime i post my fuze up for sale or trade someone ends up deleting it and its stressing me out. so someone help me make a choice
thanks
The xperia is indeed not much better that the Fuze.
If I was you I should wait for the X2 with Android, it's a nice device.
Or the TouchPro2, or wait some time and get one of the 2010 models from HTC.
Your call. The motorola Droid is also a good device with a sliding qwerty.
thanks a lot. i did some research and yea the xperia is slow and not as awesome as my touch pro. i think i wana get a tp2 now
Good choice!
Good luck, hope you enjoy your device and xda-developers!
