Hi Guys,
I recently bought a SPV M700 which unfortunately arrived not working.
At least I've found your website now, so, in your humble opinion, what's the best one to get?
I like my psp for connectivity, podcast download/playing and screen size, I also like my HP IPAQ for it's windows/office features with handwriting recognition.
Think it's a good idea to get your views before I take the plunge with another phone.
Cheers
Lyvia
hi,
i like my touch niki, having owned a polaris and tytn ii, this one runs smooth and has a slideout keyboard, no wifi or gps, but i can live with this as i have unlimited web bolt on, and a solar sirf iii gps bluetooth receiver
Depends on how you use it.....
The best phone is always the one in my hand.
After owning a Qtek 9100, Qtek S200, HTC Tytn and HTC Tytn II and now a Samsung SGH-i780 and I can only say that the Samsung beats the crap out of the HTCs The only drawback is there are no home brewed rom for it. But for a fast, stable, very nice looking phone filled with features - don´t look any further
Otherwise you can buy my Tytn II - I never use it anymore since getting the Samsung - it feel slow and old
How much did you want for your tnty II? What condition is it in etc.
Regards
Lyv

how can you compare a smartphone to a pda? SGH-i780 is a smartphone isn't it?!
I guess I'm thinking of the 760.. I don't think the 780 is avail in U.S.
android!! or iphone =P i know people here dont like the iphone, but honestly its very light, its got a great browser, and now that the sdk came out, theres gonna be alot of programs available for it. theyre coming out with a 32gb 3g model in the next couple months, so keep an eye out.

No it is Windows Mobile 6 Pro and not smartphone.
Interesting, I do like the look of the iphone I must admit.
Have been having a look at the Hermes and Wizard phones too. Would like the Kaiser type but they seem a bit on the expensive side at the mo.
Cheeers

The i780 is only a tiny bit larger than the i600 but runs on steroids.
Meaning: WM6 Professional, extremely fast Marvell CPU incl. PERFECT video playback even playing large video files from a memory card, nice display quality(a bit shiny though), built-in GPS, WiFi, etc. etc. etc.
This little baby is really impressive, unfortunately it is only Tri-Band GSM(GSM 850 is missing) and Singleband UMTS/HSDPA.
I have been waiting for and just taken delivery of an i-Mate Ultimate 9502. I have put a review here
In function and aesthetics it's the best I've had (albeit that it has had to be exchanged with a hardware fault...I have chatted to other owners via the imate forums and this seems to be a one off).
Cheers
yea the 9502 is nice, but it costs wat, $900? and that still most likely wont be compatible with wm7 when (if) it does come out. I have a Hermes, and im trying to convince my sister to get me an iphone for my birthday. And the Kaiser and a bunch of others of the newer phones have the problem with the video driver. HTC has become crap lately, and alot of us are getting tired of it and jumping ship with the arrival of the iphone and the soon to be released android phones.
Hi, Mole,
Have been looking at the iphone too, keep getting told by people though that when you connect something downloads and you end up getting locked out from using other networks. I am with O2 anyway but only use a pay and go sim. From speaking to O2 they reckon you can't use the iphone with pay and go.
Cheers

iphones can work with payg but no company supports it due to wanting more money..
i have a hermes and i love it - still waiting on recieving my memory card and gps reciever but im still enjoying tweaking n playing around
Hi, thanks guys, may look at the Hermes or perhaps give the trinity another try, must admit, it has put me off a fair bit having received on that appears to be bricked.
The iphone is nice but will leave it a year or so before I go down that route.
Cheers

My Hermes has worked beyond my expectations these last 12 months! Good Luck!
as much as I HATE apple, I'm sorry to say I really think iphone is the superior device on the market currently.
Thanks for that......

Superior device ? You must be joking ! It has a superior INTERFACE i must admit, but it's very far from being the overall superior device...
Check this thread...
In the end, it all goes down to what you intend to do with your mobile device.
Hi all..
again this very same question..
my first PPC was a QTEK 9090 (from audiovox), it was so fast and reliable that i have fallen in love with it, but its only CDMA and i needed GSM, so i decided to move on and upgrade to one more complete, the HP hw6945 (AKA Htc Sable), and i'm so disappointed with it.. its freacking slow, it hangs all the time, and now out of the sudden it stopped working.. the complete opposite from the QTEK....so, i'm going to buy a new one, this time, with more research .. and i hope to have more good times with this new one..
what i'm looking foward is a good sized screen, fast cpu, gps, reliability!!.
so, what u guys recomend to me?
i have seen some on the net..
htc touch pro
sony xperia
nokia n97
what else??? please give me your opinion and suggestions.
thankss
Welcome to forums
Have a look to:
Touch Pro 2
Toshiba TG01
HTC Hero
For mentioning just some...
Or wait till the end of the year, great devices will be announced!
Good luck,

Depends on Carrier.. You said GSM So its either ATT or TMO
If TMO Get the new MyTouch
if ATT Get a HTC Branded Magic
There basically the same phone except that the Magic branded device has more ram & will work on ATT 3g Instead of TMO 3g.. & Although I would like the extra ram its not worth giving up 3g since I am a tmo Cust..
& If android isnt your cup of tea then get the Touch Pro or Diamond (or the #2 versions of each, but I am not a fan of the new styling & love the pocketability (is that a word) of the original diamond).

Neither.. I assumed you were in the US.. Whatever carrier you get should use the Same bands as AT&T though so my recomendation for them follows.. Also the hero is a solid device with identical specs but doesn't have the trackball.. Personally I like the Magic styling better..
If you can hold out for a bit, I suggest you wait another 3-4 months. Right now, most of the phones that you will see are ~528 mhz. By the end of this year, the SnapDragon chipset will come out (1 GHZ). Mostly all the phones mentioned above are all 528. If you can wait a little longer, you can get double the speed for ~$200 extra.
Hello to all...
I am new here and my name is Allen and i would suggest same as Orb3000 that
You must have a look to:
Touch Pro 2
Toshiba TG01
HTC Hero
I've been thinking of selling off my Xperia X1 and thinking of getting me a HTC Diamond 2. Bigger screen than the Xperia, plus I found myself not liking to use the keyboard. So hmmm.. Any other recommendations you fellas would recommend? I'd like a phone that has a big screen, of course, good hardware to last me at least 1-2 years. Doesn't need a keyboard...
Cheers fellas!
Wait till the HTC Thoth comes out

HTC X7501 would be a nice couple with you all
strong hardware, big screen, optional keyboard
thanks guys for the quick response. I am thinkin between HD and D2 right now. Checked out both HTC X7501 and Thoth. More interested in Thoth, though I've read that it's actually HTC Leo? Could anyone clarify more?
Hello, all
To start off I've always favored touch screen phones.
i've had devices like the iphone (who hasnt?), htc diamond, amongst others.
Currently i dont have a touch screen phone however i do want one...
and i am debating between these three...
please note where i am now (baghdad) the devices available that i can get are as follows and are the ones i am debating ...
Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 which runs for $500 dollars
Acer F900 for $600
HTC Diamond 2 $700
So those are the only ones available to me...
please advise which choice would be best?
also, i'd be VERY interested in running android on whichever one you select...
Thanks
((edit: lets remove the HTC D2 from the list above for reasons such as no camera flash, and there was another reason which i forgot. also the htc software which everyone seems to love i really hate. this leaves us with only the acer and the se x1.)) please vote?
If you are going to pay for an HTC Diamond 2 for 700 bucks than you might as well get the HTC Touch HD2 for 800 bucks on ebay and that phone is much better.
actually i tried to re-do my message but the message boards werent loading.
after doing careful reading i found the d2 was bad as it had no flash, amongst other things leaving my selection to only the acer and the se.
I think Acer F900 is better...at least the screen is bigger. To me 2.8/3.0 inches are not enough for me especially when viewing doc and pdf

In Italy you can buy F900 for 200€.
Your $ are U.S.A. $?
bye.
Go for D2 definetly!
You´ll have the support of this site if it´s an HTC device which is an important point, at least for me
I went ahead and bought the X1...
its a very nice device. (so far )
and it doesnt have that stupid "bevel" people keep talking about. at least it doesnt bother me when it comes to tapping the start button
hi i have a HTC Hero now and i decided to buy something new. i looked for Sony Ericsson Xperia x10 and Samsung Galaxy S. Anyone can share their ideas ? Samsung Galaxy S is pretty well but i think samsung's quality is a little bad then HTC or Sony Ericsson... What about u ? Do u think like me ?

well i'll always go for HTC... i'm a kind of WM fan but no matter what i'll always choose HTC over samsung or sony ericsson... just my thought...
thank u for your idea. Yeah i learnt that htc is very very pretty brand. But in Turkey, HTC's technical support is very bad. i broke my Hero's screen and i searched a service that can repair it for a week. finally i found one but it was very expensive. because there isn't any screen to be changed. so they bought from another country. luckily my parents can afford this. i'm a lucky kid in Turkey economically. but samsung and sony ericsson, there are lots of technical service for them ! :S i love HTC too, but in Turkey it's not popular...

well u think i should buy an htc. which htc can it be ? desire ? nexus one ?
Desire and Nexus is pretty good.
If you are willing to wait for a couple of months, you should probably get the HTC desire HD aka HTC ace.
Sent from my HTC Desire
my hero isn't working full function anymore. it fell down from my hand :S screen is ok but everything is not ok ... i can't wait couple months i think ... =/
I've been looking at new phones for the past month lol so here are some ideas:
Acer S100 Liquid E: Cheap/mid to high range phone/underclocked 750mhz snapdragon/LCD/256mb ram (350$) "its the poor mans decent android phone"
HTC Desire/Nexus One: similar good all around phones/1ghz snapdragon/AMOLED/512~546mb ram (550$ newish 400ish used)
X10: insane camera (8mp)/1ghz snapdragon/256mb ram (490$ new)
LG Optimus Z: not yet released but a beautiful phone
Acer Stream: expensive and the same as the X10 =\ (600$)
Samsung Galaxy S: fastest and best phone on the market currently
personally I'm getting the galaxy S on contract soon since in the long run it'll be cheaper and better than buying a new nexus one
If you're intent on getting a HTC manufactured phone I suggest the Nexus one, since it will probably get software updates quicker than the Desire

there are no contracts when buying phones in Turkey and there aren't any Galaxy S with official selling. If i'll buy it, i'll buy it from another country.
What about samsung Wave ? It's very sexy
htc desire - a no brainer android(you cant go wrong with it..just close your eyes and buy one) but i dont like the pinkish tint on the AMOLED screen and i am not a fan of its look.
xperia x10 - by far the best looking smartphone (according to me)..the screen is gorgeous..but 1.6 is outdated and lack of MT may be a deal breaker..
in the end, it comes down to your personal taste..i went for xperia x10 because of the looks and better sony tech support in my country.. and yes, this was when desire wasnt OFFICIALLy available..
and about samsung WAVE..it has bada OS..if thats not a dealbreaker for you..this is one of the best VFM smartphone iv seen yet..
