I'm the happy owner of a Blue Angel. However, with posts of up to a week ago still showing on the first page of Forum Index -> Blue Angel, I can't help wondering how long it will be before Blue Angel will no longer need a niche of its own here. My curiosity about what others here may think naturally led me to the idea of an XDA dead pool.
Some of the 15 phone-types currently listed in the forum index have already been discontinued by their manufacturers. Which is next?
Apache
Atom
Prophet
Universal
Wizard
Magician
Alpine
Himalaya
Andes
Blue Angel
Wallaby
StarTrek
Typhoon
Hurricane
Tornado
To keep our dead pool as sound as possible, please place only one bet in this thread. Thanks to all who may be interested in this meritless idea.
I'm going to say...the Wizard.
Whilst I am requesting new forums i just wanted to throw this out there as an idea. I am sure it has been asked before.
Why do we only have HTC phones on these forums.
I am busy in loads of these forums as i have a
Blueangel
Alpine
Magician
Universal
Hermes
Trinity
Typhoon
Tornado
Vox
but i also have a Samsung I320 and a Samsung I600
There is stuff in the Dash forum about the I600 so i feel there is a demand, maybe we should have the option to poll for new phones or something.
I mean lets face it there arent that many windows phones that are not made by HTC and all windows phones whatever make are relevant to each other.
Cant we have some of these as well.
Pretty please.
... motorola mpx series
i also having a htc pda phone but samsung smartphone....
If you'll read the Welcome message on the home page, you'll see why this site is only for the HTC phones. While there are threads and posts concerning other phones, the developers of this site develop exclusively for the HTC phones.
There are other forums for other phone manufacturers on the web. You just need to look for them. Google is good. . .
Modaco pimps for every phone under the sun. However, if you're duly surreptitious you can usually slip a non HTC post or thread under our radar. But yes, we are pretty much tied to HTC phones.
I think that if it's general WM issues, post and we'll see.
But as HTC phones have so many specific issues, some of your queries may fall on deaf ears.

adding more support for more devices dont mean one get more
knowlage about those devices
sure add support for all wm devices ever made
but that dont mean developers will always pop up
worst case is forums for eten, hp, dell, toshiba
forums with only threads with people asking questions
and nobody answring and thats really not much help
Look, this forum supports monopoly. Specifically Windows Mobile and HTC, if you're not down with that, then you can just take your free market free thought views elsewhere!
Im joking above, and whilst its unlikely a website thinks too far into the future as HTC looses its market share and more windows mobile devices roll out, perhaps even this year, I belive we may see the beginnings of a more diversified forum.
The imate ultimate series, Gigabyte devices and O2s latest non-HTC offerings will all be popular WM6 devices, that to exclude will most likely just generate a plethora of postings in the general sub-forum.
Actually why not use the Xda developers brand to develop a sister forum that caters for these specifically non-HTC phones, but pumps some ads on the site owing to the relative ad-free forum experience we have here. [Im not a fan of web ads, but I use HTC devices for now and the forseeable future so doesnt affect me ]
Hi Guys,
This is my first post and its 1 in the morning, so please forgive me if this has been asked before
Later today, I'm wanting to place an order for the HTC Cruise. I liked the Glofiish x800, but dismissed it because of the potential buggy nature of the unit from reviews I read and of course the support forum is nowhere as good as this
So my question. Since the Cruise already comes with a cube, will I be able to use any of the Cubes created by developers on this forum, since they are much cooler. If so which ones?
Are there any other apps that will work from this site, that will add the kewl factor? For example the 'apple-esque' lock function S2U2 - will that work on the Cruise?
Sorry if this is a stupid question or has been asked before, but I'm a newbie to the Pocket PC and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi guys
as you all know , samsung i780 is one of the most powerful pda with a slick design , it grabs your attention even if you hate samsung company, its really a special pda
so my suggestion is why we dont make a separate thread for this device, a thread that has sub threads like general , upgrading and roms hacking, accessories and FAQ, like the one for tytn II or touch curise
so what all of you think ?
thank and best regards,

Thanks lembee
Seems that this phone is selling very well, at least in europe.
A dedicated room makes absolutely sense.
I would
also love that ! Just stopped using my Tytn II and is using my new i780 as my primary device - the Tytn II is in the drawer. But I love XDA so I would love to have a i780 section event though it aint an HTC phone
thank guys
lets hope we get separate section for samsung i780
would be cool but i gues all owner of this phone think so
I completely agree, finding infor on the i780 is pretty difficult and it would make things easier to make a special topic for it. I have been using the i780 for two weeks now.

yes , you are quite right
it will save time , also the samsung i780 desrve to has separate thread coz its great device
lets hope the owners of this forum do it for all of us
It would be nice to have a section dedicated to the Samsung i780!!!
I hope.
Thanks
Agree with everyone !!! Since i780 is the first 320 X 320 device. New section will help everyone to discuss in future...........
I'm agree too
This phone is one of the best on WM...
Thank you all guys (dariog78, harrisoon and sebastientoussaint)
it seems there are alot of people who are interested on this device ,therefore a new section is really needed for this device.
I jst traded in my HTC Hermes for a new Samsung i780 and loving it. It would be nice to be able to share all the tips and tricks with other people.
Thanks!
seems like i780 is a very popular phone..
I agree, the I780 must have it's own home. I have a herald, but when I got my hands on this baby, wow nothing like it. We should start to encourage developers for this new kind of screen.
While I have no doubt that the Samsung i780 is a good phone I must say that it should NOT get its own section here.
On the Main Page you will see this....

Welcome to xda-developers.com
This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a firm called HTC in Taiwan. Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN', but almost nobody knows them by those names. The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA', and that's what we had in our hands first. They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56, Hermes and many, many other names.

So Unless I missed something in my search, The Samsung device is not made by HTC. I'm all for there being a Developers Forum for a Samsung Device. If I had some web hosting space left I'd offer to host it. However this is an HTC site and I think it should be kept that way.

but as you can see in the devices section, there are sections for HP ipaq and Palm Treo 750, and from my knowlege HP ipaq and palm treo 750 are not htc devices therefore we dont see any problem to have a section for samsung i780 since the hp ipaq and palm treo 750 had, also the samsung i780 is a special case because the resolution of its display is 320*320 which means it will has its own programs and games, thats why it is important to have a section specially for this device
@AbdullahT
HTC is the manufacturer of the Treo 750 and several HP iPaq smartphones. So it's normal that they have their place on the XDA-forum.
@JimmyMcGee
While I agree with you that this forum is all about developing for HTC manufactured devices I still think the i780 should have it's own place here on this forum. First of all, this site has been created in order to port Linux to the XDA. That aspect got somewhere sort of lost, since this forum talks more about porting the latest Windows Mobile versions to older devices and writing Windows Mobile software to enhance the experience with Windows Mobile devices then porting Linux to HTC devices. So this forum has evolved and I can't see why it couldn't evolve into a forum that also talks about other then HTC manufactured smartphones.
Personally I would welcome a dedicated i780 section. It would make finding information about tweaking the i780 a lot more easier. The main problem is, that there are other popular smartphones around, like the LG KS20 which also deserve their own section.
In my humble opinion I think the current structure of this forum doesn't allow anymore for adding more smartphones. So I think it would be a wise idea to rethink the current structure. I would think more in terms of activities then in terms of different devices.
go for it!
Hi all,
as in theme. Cause there are some I-Mate-s, which don't have equivalent in HTC phones. So maybe let's make separate forum for our I-Mate-s ?
As stated many times before
This is an HTC devices form only
This is the position of the Owners and Admin
Why are you needing this forum? It's any problem in your I-Mate?
No, there isn't any problem. It would be simply nice, that I-Mate will have support, cause there isn't any I-Mate's Forum, so here is the best place for it
Also many HTC have go their analog models in I-Mate, but we called them names of HTC and then it isn't a problem.
Why don't you try a non-specify PPC forum?
