I would recommend HTC HD
But first check here so you can make your own slection based on what you really need form a PDA:
http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdachooser
Cheers,
Assuming money isnt a problem.
You need to know what you wanna do with the PDA.
1. Do you need GPS?
2. Do you play games?
3. Fast internet?
4. Do alot of typing?
5. Powerful Processor?
6. music and/or video?
7. Advance configuration like changing roms, cooking and major software tweaking?
If all the above is yes. Raphael is the overall best.
Touch HD got no D-pad so gaming is a little tedious. It also does not have a keyboard but has a superbly large screen.
Processor need not be powerful and need not type alot? got for Asus. P750 if u have the budget P320 if not.
Are you intending to learn to cook roms and develop software. Try HTC G1 android.
They're all my opinions only. As Orb3000 wrote "But first check here so you can make your own slection based on what you really need form a PDA:

thank you guys! artemis is HTC p3300?? how about samsung omnia i900? is it good? i like the design and the specs ... i like the HTC HD but the price is so high ... 700 euros ... that's a lot of money that i will never spend on a PDA phone! I had the LG KS20 in may this year and i was very, very disappointed!

So far there has only been one good response to your question (Serphinox). You need to identify what YOU want the phone to do and be specific. All you will get is blatent favourtism with the way your question is worded.
Blatent favourtism...... (and my honest, very experienced opinion)
I have owned serveral HTC phones and regreted each one eventually. I now have an Omnia with the HJ5 firmware (a must!) and its absolutley awesome. It kicks some serious HTC booty. I've had a Blue Angel, TyTN, TyTN 2 and currently still own a Touch Diamond (Of all my HTC phones, I've had at least 2 of each due to hardware failures/poor manufacturing). Which phone do I use everyday? The Omnia.... no contest. The Omnia does have a lower res screen than HTC devices but actually, this is well thought out. It allows for a longer battery life, its VERY fast at updating (even my TD with Swiftblade 7.5 don't stand a chance) and .... because its low res, its VERY finger friendly like the Iphone. Put simply, it works. I now have zero issues with it, something I have NEVER been able to say about ANY HTC phone i've used. It simply does its job, everytime, 100% of the time with no fuss. Note though: Because of the screen res, don't buy it if you want to play games as they are generaly written in the standard screen formats of which this is not. Btw, dont use Samsung Widgets, they are for Joe Punter, you want Samsung Today 2... its the daddy!
Oh, who else has 32gig storage in there phone? Currently I have some 2500+ songs and iGO8 with all the world maps ..... and still loads of storage free
You know, i've also owned a Tosh G900 which was FAR from "tosh" and again an excellent phone. I only wish more people realised there was more to life than HTC.

edited my signature .. thank you for the great answer ! gonna get the omnia ... maybe dont know 4 sure but i believe it's a great deal. you say that the ress of the omnia screen is different from the other phones and i will not be able to play games ... now that's not GOOD
now i own a nokia e71 and i can change the ress of games and than install them into to my phone and they work ... is there a way that i could change the ress for the games that work on wm 6 devices??

its not that you WONT be able to play games, its just that you need games that are coded to work with odd screen sizes - and this can be limiting. I think its fair to say that most games written now are for 480*640 (640*480) and this is not the Omnias screen size. That said, the Omnia does seem to be selling very well so I would hope more developers start creating there apps to scale mathmaticaly rather than fixed for a specific size.
Should you wish to use SPB Shell, you are also limited to the amount of custom skins available however, this will grow .... you could even create your own!
As for your games, I would think you will be ok. They should be on your PC in your activesync program. Once you create a new sync between the pc and your new device, you can then go into activesync's add programs section and select to install. Of course, if you have the individual .CAB files (which are also actually on your pc as well) then you can just drag these on to your new device and install.
edit: I cannot stress enough though, you need to update to the HJ5 rom if you buy it. Details can be found at i900.modaco.com.
I vote for the Touch Pro.
In my opinion HTC devices I own or owned (Universal, Tytn and Touch) are great devices, never had problems with them, so that makes me stick to HTC because their experience manufacturing WM powered devices, also the great support and the main reason because of this wonderfull site!!.
If you decide for the Omnia you will not have the support form this site has for HTC devices (I´m sure exist another sites for Omnia)
So once again I´ll recommend an HTC device absolutly
Just my personal opinion
Good luck on your decision!

Yes you do, search and see! Windows Mobile is Windows Mobile You can also get cooked roms also from various sites.
However, OP, you have not really said what your requirements are and you need to. Be specific and people can really recommend properly rather than our phones

Whats got two cylinders, does 0-60 in 3.8 seconds and holds the production record for top speed in its class?

as long as you upgrade to latest firmware (see i900.modaco.com) you won't regret it. I would recommend though you try and see if you can get an Omnia-T. As mentioned, same phone but has DVB-T and 800*480 screen - although this will decrease battery life a little.
Anyway, enjoy!

I have just downloaded and installed the new Xtrat game for X2. However, the accelorometer mode doesnt seem to be compatible with HD2. ? any idea
and also Experiment 13...
SE probably uses some next modules and drivers.
As far as Im aware Xtract (from the SE X1) has no support as the SE X1 had no g sensor,
Experiment 13 should work but doesnt for some reason

the new xtrat for X2 has acceloremeter support
For experiment 13, go into Settings>Game settings>Motion sensor on.
Maybe that helps for that?
Update: Just tried it. Didn't work =(
what a shame. Still a good game though
This is the probem we're going to have until WM7 arrives. There's no standard API available for programs to use, and the developers here weren't aware of/didn't care about supporting our devices.
where can i download those games?
Do not be lazy and do a decent search on Google, you have a good phone which can even search for you...

Googling for Xtrakt is quite simple, but googling specifically for the X2 version of it isn't quite so easy.

Because there is no special Version for the X2. It's the normal Xtract Game, which also works on the X1

don't even need to google it. go to the x1 forum and look at the x2 thread ..
use gpad app, worked on hd and i can confirm works with xtract on hd2 makes it very playable. run before you run game.
I've read people have it working with g sensor on the htc Imagio?

Just noticed this post: this is entirely wrong, there are two different versions of the game, one that originally shipped with the X1 and one that shipped with the X2. The actual gameplay is the same, but the X2 version has accelerometer support (on the X2), a different intro animation, and 3D previews of each track, as well as some other cosmetic differences (e.g fonts).
Has anyone tried to add the games window class to accelerometer whitelist? It worked for NFS Undercover.

How do you do that?
This seems like a really obvious answer if you know it... but i have been looking high and low to figure this out. Is android 1.6 working fully on the HTC Diamond 500 CDMA (Telus)? I keep seeing things such as the GPS, Bluetooth, and data don't work on version 2.0.1 so I was just trying see what I was getting myself into if there's extra work
It's been a week and no replies but enough views... So is that a no? does no one know?
Is Android 1.6 (Donut) working on HTC Diamond?
Yes. Check Xandroid website. You can install android on your SD card, and also install Gen.Ydualboot.......meaning you will have two OS ( wm and android). I have got them on my HTC HD.

Does everything (Camera/GPS/Mic./etc...) work? I've recently seen that Android 2.0.1 (Eclair) has made some progress but that is still not able to run these things which personally would render my phone useless
no man i was using android on my diamond for a long time, the system is good but sometimes the bugs are just @#$%^.....
That's why I got a cheap second hand HTC dream. I can say this phone is just so wicked! full keyboard FTW!

damn too bad. maybe one day thanks guys. and yea the dreams too big for me... gonna look into the palm pre (plus)
X10, N900 or HD2.
So now I need you guys and gals to help me solve this problem; which one to buy ? Last one I had was Kaiser, and it was god awful, but I loved it anyway and HTC made phones has got this site as a plus side and ehh... TOO HARD
just a good list of pros and cons would be good because I don't know any of them, since I have been out of this scene for a long time and haven't had time to follow any reviews. Has there been any problems with drivers or anything with any of those phones ? How is the build quality etc, can I upgrade X10 to A2.2 ?
Personal experiences are more than welcome, specially if you have tried all three phones.
like a hard keyboard: N900 runs with Linux and nice interface
wanna play around with an easy interface: X10 running android combined with sony ericsson games and apps
like a big screen with big processor: out of the three i would go with this devices because of it's big screen making it good for watching movies and browsing xda also it is very fast with it's 1Ghz processor!
I would go for Leo with no doubt as it´s HTC and very powerful device with nice big screen!
Have a look here to make a detailed comparision
Can I upgrade Android like Winmo ? Just flash it and it's done ? I read somewhere that this isn't like in WinMo and I would hate to wait until SE releases new version to their devices : / And I also read that there is some hardware related multitouch issue with X10 ?

Android is a bit different in that you have to obtain 'root access' before flashing a custom ROM - think 'run as administrator' on a PC. You also get a recovery partition which you can flash and put enhanced features on, which can be nice.
Basically, once you get root and flash a HardSPL then you can flash a new ROM as easily as WM - easier in fact, as you normally do it by SD card.
Anyway, you won't be able to flash a HardSPL or a custom ROM until that root is available, which it currently isn't for the X10 (although it's only a matter of time, really).
Finally a full basketball game for Android, although there's nothing about Xperia Play Optimization which is kind of sad, but there's nothing confirming that it WON'T be optimized for our phones I hope it will be though, because NBA JAM just isn't doing it for me.
I would post links, but this is my first post. You can find some articles by googling "2K13 coming to Android"

*UPDATE
It's out now, but it's incompatible with all of my devices ...

WTF to 2k, this just because the ****ing compatiblity of ICS. Google want to save his face so ask some devs to add OS restriction to their new games, not base on ics directly.
And i just found a pirated version with restriction hacked which can be run on 2.1 flawlessly, maybe 2.3 as well

Care to share what search terms where involved?
Do hardware buttions work?
Bah, at this point, since it's only available for ICS I doubt it has optimization. I emailed the developer yesterday wondering why none of my devices had shown up as compatible, but it's just the ICS restriction. I also asked about Xperia Play Optimization.
But I haven't gotten a response yet, so fingers crossed!
If I have to believe what I saw, it isn't XP optimized and it doesn't work properly in our phones. In fact it's optimized for Tegra devices.

If some one can get it to play without restricitions you can in theory use "Game Keyboard 2.0" and optimize it to the gamepad on the Xperia Play and see how that works out. PM me a link to that version thanks and good luck to you guys keep us updated.
