Would anyone trade a Touch HD for a Tilt 2?
I'm not looking for a trade, just wondering.
Thanks
Moved to Q&A as not marketplace since no trade or sale.

If someone offered a Tilt2 for a Touch HD it would be his or her dream come true.
There is nothing on the Touch HD that is better than the Tilt2...
The only thing that the Touch HD has compared to the Tilt2 is the damn 3.5 mm headphone jack. Are you serious about the trade? Cause your question doesn't make sense.
So of course someone would trade (give) his Touch HD for a Tilt2.
Is your sentence wrong? Because if it is then this would seem to be a more plausible question: Would anyone trade his Tilt2 for my Touch HD?
The answer would be hell no. Unless the Tilt2 was heavily used, full of scratches and has hardware/software issues, no one will want to exchange it for a Touch HD.
Well I know only diff is that the Tilt gets Att 3G, the button QWERTY, and doesn't have a 3.5mm.
I really like listening to music and I use my phone as an Mp3 player because I dont want to carry a phone and a Zune.
I want the 3.5mm headset jack and don't mind the lack of a keyboard. I was just wondering If I did get the Tilt2 if It would be crazy to try to trade it for a Touch HD.
Thing is I'd have to get a dataplan to get the Tilt 2 to trade for the HD and then I'd have a touch HD that can't use the dataplan I'd now have.
I already have the Incite which has WinMo 6.5 and a 3.5mm, So I guess I'd still use the dataplan when I have my sim in the Incite.
So The question is do I want to stick with the Incite and it's Wifi
or
Do I get a dataplan and a tilt 2 that I trade for a Touch HD and only use the dataplan when the Sim is in the Incite.
Or I do as above but give the dataplan to my brother's phone and Just have a Incite and a Touch HD both with just Wifi.
Too bad I cant get the HD2... XD Because while it's hard to decide how badly I want the Touch HD over the Incite, the only real difference is that the Touch HD has a bigger screen.
If I had the choice to get the HD2 over the Incite it'd be a no brainer. The HD has the Snapdragon, more RAM, more internal ROM, a bigger screen that is capacitive. I dont even mind it doesn't get at&t 3G.

If you don't flash your phone then you are stuck with a phone with older software. Also, the finger friendly Windows Mobile 6.5.3 is probably not officially supported by HTC on your HTC Touch HD, so you probably will need to flash it on your own.
And trading a Tilt2 for that would be freaking crazy.
I'd like you to know that the HTC Touch Pro2 has the one of the best keyboard around, I mean it's better than any blackberry, better than my Nokia E90, better than any android phone so far, and better than a touch screen keyboard, of course better than Palm, etc!!!!!!!!
If anything, trade it for a Nokia N900. Though, not windows mobile, it's processor is faster than the HTC Touch HD, meaning less likely to have skippy music or delay during music playback. Furtheremore, the N900 speaker is just as good as the N95, and most people who know about phones can verify that the N95 speakers are not only very loud, but very high sound quality, and you get two speakers like on a laptop. And it has a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
The Tilt2 also has tilting screen, so you can watch videos while working on a table, which is kinda geeky but whatever.
Tilt2 also requires a data plan if you get it on ATT. So why would you pay for data plan just to use a phone that doesn't support the data plan. Isn't that stupid? And if you are going to buy a Tilt2 on eBay or something, just buy a Touch HD so you don't go through with the trade.

The HTC Touch HD does not have a snapdragon, has less RAM, and less ROM, and it is resistive.
The HTC Touch HD2 has a snapdragon, more RAM, and more ROM, and it is capacitive.
Thanks for confusing me. Next time, pay attention to the series number, and report the right number, or you will get different answers.
For the Touch HD2 yeah the swap seems plausible, if you do it now, you might get a swap, but I suggest keeping your Tilt2 unopened and 100% brand new. Do not peel any stickers or anything. If you have to get your hands on it use latex gloves, but do not peel the sticker on screen.
Next, you have to swap it with someone with a used HD2 who really abhors his HD2. But soon, the HD2 for T-Mobile will come out, and it will be impossible for you to find someone to swap an HD2 because it has become more valuable for the Americans, and they wouldn't want to swap you. Why? Well because the ones with the European Touch HD2 are going to get the American version for T-Mobile. So right now there will be people more willing to trade it for a brand new Tilt2.
Or, if you are smart, just go month to month with ATT until the T-Mobile HD2 comes out. I heard that month to month on ATT doesn't charge you more, it just means you can cancel anytime or renew a contract for a brand new phone.
But when the T-Mobile HD2 comes out, transfer your phone number to T-Mobile and sign a contract with T-Mobile for an HD2 with a data plan that you actually use.
BTW...I think that swapping it will be very hard, and what you are doing is crazy, and I knew it when you said that you "weren't looking for a trade" you were actually looking for a trade, cause obviously if someone wanted to trade you would trade.

I know about flashing phones, my Incite it running Dark Wolf's newest 6.5 Rom
I like the Tilt 2 also but the 3.5mm is like critical to me.

Sorry about that, it was a typo, the HD you bolded I meant to type HD2.
The point of this thread was just to find out if I got the Tilt 2 if I could trade it for a Touch HD because I really want that 3.5mm. But you're probably right because the Touch HD cant use the dataplan I should probably just keep my Incite, But If I could trade a Tilt 2 for an HD2 then I'd probably get the Tilt 2 and do what I said about just using the dataplan I'd now have on the Incite every once in a while or put it on my brother's phone since I bet he'd like that.

Are you considering switching to T-Mobile for the upcoming HD2?
well I'm currently on my dad's family plan so I'm not sure, plus I dont know how much the HD2 will cost even with new contract so I'm not too sure about that.
The problems with getting a contract with T-mobile is that Calls between my family and my best friend and I wouldn't be free. Plus I'd have to get the T-mobile dataplan which I dont really want especially because it's not as good at at&t's

Well just get the phone and do with the trade. If you can't do it, at least you have the best phone there is on ATT (aside from the iPhone).
I wouldn´t trade my Rhodium for a Blackstone
So people would trade a HD2 (Leo) for the Tilt2 (Rhodium)?

Well the HTC Leo costs 800 dollars.
The ATT Tilt2 costs 500 dollars.
The HTC Blackstone costs 500 dollars and if you are lucky may cost around 300-400 dollars.
Tilt2 trade for Blackstone is a guarantee.
HTC Leo trade for a Tilt2 is almost impossible.
Not me, as hardware keyboard is a must.
Even if Leo has better specs...I prefer Rhodium!
I'd be willing to get and trade a tilt2 for a HD2... question is should I get the Tilt 2 and try?

You can try. It's not that I think it's a bad idea what you are doing, but it's that it's really hard. I wouldn't do it because the HD2 is a league higher than the Tilt2, and it's hard to get someone to trade his HD2 for the Tilt2.
to me the HD screen and integrated buttons are much more appealing while the Tilt 2 is really just the next generation of a long line of HTC phones. Now that the HD2 is out, I think the Tilt 2 has lost some luster and this wouldn't be such a one sided trade anymore. I may even consider it, lol.

This really good news after the big disappointing of HD. However, the next question is, how much is going to be from AT&T with contract?? because they going to bring it for sure.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2341160,00.asp
hopefully its not over $400 from AT&T with contract or up grade, Also, big hope they not going play with the keyboard and make it ugly like Tytn 2 and FUZE. This one looks really good and easy to type and much faster.

At the end of the summer, I'm hoping to buy a new HTC phone. I don't have a data plan (I rely on Wi-Fi), so it doesn't matter if it has European or American 3G frequencies, I just need it to work with AT&T (GSM).
I was hoping to get one of the following:
HTC Touch 3G (cheapest)
HTC Touch Diamond2 (sexiest)
HTC Touch HD (biggest)
I have an LG Incite, and I'm hoping to upgrade to a quality phone. I can barely stand this POS. Spocky, his ROM developments, and this forum are really the only reasons I can even use it. I would really prefer the HTC Touch HD because I want a large phone due to my large stature, and I want the Touch 3G because I'd prefer not to spend too much. And the Touch Diamond2 is just hot.
Any and all suggestions are welcome, even if they're not on the list.
I´m not sure I´m smarter than you, but I would say go for Diamond 2!
Well, rumor has it (and by rumor I mean official documentation) that the Diamond2 is coming to AT&T, so that could be a win.
Yes I heard that, also TP2 will come to that provider
I would probably prefer that, actually, as I'm all for hard keyboards. Though it currently costs an arm and a leg.
Probably two legs now, seeing as how the value of most currencies are decreasing right now, including limbs.

HTC Touch Diamond 2 ... the 3.5 adapter is basically the only con....
That's really why I want the Touch HD.
With the death of my Zune (I think it got kicked in the chest by Charlie Murphy), my phone has been my main MP3 player. And I could never lose my Zune Premium headphones.
I am currently with tmobile and ordered a Nexus One without a contract... So now I got to thinking: I like the Incredible and EVO 4G...but is it worth getting a whole new contract on Verizon (1 Or 2 Years) or Sprint (2 Years only) ? I am kind of stressed out about this -it is a headache for me, I just want to get something I will be happy with...
I had the HD2 and returned it (not enough suitable games for the hardware...so I decided to move to android)....
So I think my two most reasonible options are to:
+ Stay with Tmobile and keep my Nexus One until something else comes along compatible with TMobile USA... (I am paying about 140.00 a month w/ 3 lines unlim texting for all...and unlim data for two lines... plus 1000 minutes, and free mobile to mobile)
+OR Sign up with a 1 Year verizon contract...
(now mind you, I will be paying @ least 90 to 109$ a month for an individual plan and keep the other two phones on tmobile until their contract expires...will be about 90 a month for Tmobile after this). So all in all costs = about 190 a month to get the incredible...
I know the pros and cons of the phones pretty much:
EVO 4G:
+ 4g, 4.3" LCD screen, front facing camera (nice but I dont think I may use it much), hdmi out, better multitouch hardware than N1
Incredible:
+ OLED 3.7" screen (same as N1?),8GB onboard + 2GB micro w/ verizon, optical 'track ball' ,also better multitouch hardware than N1
N1:
+ trackball ?(a neg for me actually), nothing else above the others that I can see....
sorry if this is a stupid thread...just asking for your advices/ideas/thoughts...please help me make a decision....Thanks for your time...
any ideas?
Stay with the Nexus & no contract...I think your going to really like it's performance! If not, then you can try the others not on GSM...
Well my .02 for what it is worth would be keep the N1, the Incredible while seemingly better is a slight upgrade from the N1 imo... I heard the onboard 8GB of memory cannot be used to install applications on, and one review (Engadget) said a lot of things couldn't even see the memory... The Nexus One is a great phone, and I just got mine for AT&T; give it a go first!
But the incredible doesn't seem too hot for me, I hear VZW is going to LTE and what-not soon! However the Evo 4G does look really cool, but it is on Sprint. It seems like keeping the N1 is economically feasible and you won't be disappointed, or at least I haven't!

Thanks for BOTH of your responses...
I do like the N1...nice sleek and small...just makes me think when I hear about the EVO 4G and the Incredible having the better multi touch...
also that 8GB would be nice to have instead of just 4GB with the n1, also VZW will be giving a 2GB memory stick with it so that is 10GB of usable storage (somewhat usable)...
I guess the N1 is a better choice since I also still have the option to upgrade my phone at any time, hopefully Tmobile will come out with some better phones than the HD2 some time soon -I am sure there will always be better phones, but its just a matter of if they will support the TMobile USA bands...otherwise I may have to switch companies...
I also like the Optical trackball...I think it would have a longer life than the actual trackball...but on the EVO I do not like the LCD screen, the AMOLED screen is much nicer...
The N1 is also the first device to receive an official upgrade to Froyo (and let me guess also future versions). For the others you have to rely on HTC.

I don't see why the HTC Desire would get LESS support than N1. The N1 has just been around a bit longer so you probably find more support but I guess this soon changes. In the end both are HTC devices and will receive equal support, probably Desire with even more support thanks to Sense UI included....

Its OK, my bad, i meant out of the devices that were listed, Xda seems to be a GSM device forum (?), i expect the desire, legend and many other GSM phones to be supported here, by default i thought that you go to the PPC website for CDMA (Please, correct me if i'm wrong, i'm in the UK so we only have GSM here )
So i think i wana get the hd2 but im not so sure yet. currently i have a htc fuze and i am thinking of selling it and getting the hd2. but what do you guys think? is it worth the 150 to upgrade with tmobile? i have tmobile currently and i have an upgrade. so the phone would only be 150. but i was wondering if its a good phone and if its even worth upgrading at the moment
thanks
compare and evaluate
Have you looked at and held the HD2 at a store yet? I recommend that you experiment with it if there is a T-mobile store near your residence or work place. I also recommend that you do an online search and read every review and as much about the HD2 features as you can before making your decision.
The HD2 has a 1 GHz processor, an enlarged capacitive touch screen, and a 5 mp camera. As far as user interface, depending on which rom you are using on your Touch Pro, you might not notice much difference. However, the Touch Pro has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and the HD2 relies soly on a virtual keyboard.
A lot depends on what is important to you. Do you want or need a better camera, faster speed and larger screen? Will you miss the slide out keyboard? If you answered "yes" to the first question and "no" to the second, then the HD2 might be for you.
You'll also need to consider how contented you are with your T-Mobile service. If you are happy where you are and don't mind signing another 2-year (or whatever you are being offered) contract to get the HD2 at your upgrade price of $150, then it sounds like a good deal. You could easily sell your used Touch Pro on eBay for $100 to $150 (if it is still in good condition) further reducing your overall output for the HD2. Alternatively, you might just want to keep your Touch Pro as a back-up device.
Ultimately, this is a personal choice that only you can make.
Poster above is right, only you can make the choice, i miss the Phisical keyboard on the HD" (Luckily, i also have a TP2 ) i cant think ot aswome a HD2 with a 1GB rom is. make thw right coise FOR YOU!
Good luck
yes ive held the phone before and pplayed with it. my uncles has one and i fell in love. so i think i made my decision.. im going to sell my tp and get the hd2! yay

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread but...
I am looking at upgrading my contract early and can get an HD2 for $35 after $50 mail-in rebate. My question is ... Is this a phone that will still be a good phone in 2 years? Or should I save the money and drop $200 on a Sensation after the $50 mail in rebate? I like either phone and to be honest I will be installing a sense 3.0 ROM on the HD2 if I get it. Is the dual core going to be that much faster than the single core that it would make the phone lag real bad?
Thanks for the help.

Installing a Sense 3.0 rom on a phone that didn't originally ship with it will make a difference in performance. Sense 3.0 roms are generally pretty large. I'm not really familiar with the HD2, but I know that Sense 3.0 roms on the Evo leave very little internal memory. It's best to have a partitioned SD card if you want to install very many apps. Again, I'm not familiar with the internal storage on an HD2, but it's something to keep in mind.
If you're planning to keep the phone for two years, I think it's best to go ahead and spend the extra money on the Sensation. Since it comes stock with Sense 3.0, those roms will be much more stable. Some people downplay the difference between newer dual core phones and older phones, but I feel that the difference would be worth the price. I haven't upgraded my Evo, but I stick with AOSP and never run anything heavy. I'm not due for a full upgrade, so I'd rather hold out.

Who will be switching from Touch Pro 2 to HTC Evo?
Evo available at Sprint for $299.99 - $100 MIR = $199.99 + Tax on JUNE 4
Be ready 'cause there will be a line.
No way and not for an extra 10 a month for 4g that isnt that much of any upgrade
no keyboard = no EVO for me
EVO Pro....no THERES a tasty thought
No 4G where I live...so not for me either!l
Sorry going over to the evo side looks but will probably be back
We'll see
Just bought one from someone who went to Google I/O. Comes with 30 days free service. I'll try it out, and if I like it, I'll set it up on my main number and sell the TP2. If not, I'll sell the EVO.

Got my $50 preorder first day it was available. I was drooling over the HD2 until it was announced it was coming to T-Mobile..... this is the chance to get a very similar phone with a better operating system (AND FOR SPRINT!!!)
I don't know how anyone would turn away from this phone....even if you are only in a 3G area.... show if off to everyone you know that has an iPhone and watch their jaws drop!
BTW, who in their right mind would pay $30 to tether when the phone has been rooted before it started shipping.....(?)
Hook up with an Everything Data plan with a *COUGH* "Corporate Discount" and you have a monthly price that rivals the old SERO plans

are you referring to EPRP? because that price doesnt rival SERO at all, and I heard you cant activate an EVO on those plans

Nope, just using an Corporate Employee Plan with Everything Data wireless plan. I have 3 lines that split 1500 anytime mins, unlimted text/data/gps/nav, and AnyMobile Anytime for $120/mo
On the "iPhone" bit, the people I know that have those POS's are so dense they think the TP2 is worse BECAUSE it has a qwerty keyboard.... HA HA HA
No bluetooth dialing so I'm staying with the TP2
I upgraded from the original touch to the HTC Hero for about 2 hours. First time I tried to voice dial in the car I nearly wrecked. Went straight to the sprint store and traded it in on the TP2. Even though sprint says you can try any phone for 30 days they neglect to tell you about the $35 restock fee. (Boo sprint) I've fallen in love with the device. It wasn't immediate love but after the upgrade to 6.5, it's as close to perfect as I've ever seen. I can't believe Google in all its infinite wisdom would leave such an important tool off the latest release.

Froyo 2.2 does include bluetooth dialing, and voice activated text messages (That supposedly works very good..... we will see). Any N1, Droid, or EVO users should get the OTA update within a few months of this coming out. Those creative enough can get it much quicker if you know how.
I look at it this way: I have done nothing but gone up with windows mobile phone - HTC Titan, HTC Mogul, HTC TouchPro, HTC TouchPro2.... the software gets a little better with every revision, but never really gets me too excited about what it is capable of. (At least until MaxSense is released) And even that is a USER driven addon. The first time I played with Eclair on my TP2, I knew it was time for a change. I download the Android SDK and the Froyo emulator...........it is like the first time using and actually understanding Linux........ actually, it's EXACTLY the same. With the exception that with the EVO, you will also have a huge 4.3" screen, front facing camera, and one of the fastest processors available in a mobile phone. And this is for $150 less that I paid for the TP2 (Bought in middle on contract - so picked it up on ebay new for $400 just after it came out) vs. $250 for the EVO after the rebate.
i don't get why so people are so high strung on thinking that android is better than wm from my experience with the android builds it seems to not be much different or anymore or less capable. however because its not Windows , the fact that i just got s free tp2 and that i don't have 4G coverage here in my area (chicago suburbs) i will have to pass on the evo untill someone manages to port wm to it and/or when 4G is available in my area.
I love my TP2, but I liked more the Imagio's sleek design, no slide-out keyboard though... To me, the Evo looks like the Imagio, but running Android, not my choice of OS but it's "ok".. +1 to have a WM "Evo"

To be honest, I would have loved the HD2 had it come to sprint. When I heard it was going to Tmobile I felt a lot like I might as well hang onto the TP2......When I saw the specs for the EVO i litterally thought " wow, its an HD2 with some extra stuff..... but it runs android." This is where I started playing with android on the TP2, started asking people I knew that had an android phone what they thought about it, went to the cell phone stores and played with all the phone ( thats a bad habit anyway :->) I don't want to come out rash and say that this OS is better than a WM Phone..... it is just different. It has a lot of useful features, different UI customizations, and most obviously - different from what I have been using for quite a while now. Is the EVO the best phone ever made??? It might be now.... but I doubt it....
Is it the best phone Sprint has to offer? NO DOUBT, YES IT IS!
I am sure the new iPhone will get everyones attention, and verizon will be stepping up it's LTE towards the end of the year.... we will probably see at least 4-5 MUCH better phones than the EVO before the end of the year. But this is as good as it gets for sprint for at least the next 6 months, maybe even a year.
Yeah, HD2 is very very nice. Just not CDMA
The WM preference is personal, since I program .net and I can write my own apps. Is there a .net android compiler out there? I don't know..but would be nice to know of..
Can't say that I know of one..... - as .net is MS's baby.....
Off topic: This seems absolutely ludacris to me, and would be considered "illegal" due to the fact that the phones are not licensed as such, but has anyone ever tried to port Windows Mobile to an Android handset?
Not that I would have much interest, but it seems as though I have read here and on other forums that if a user could dual-boot into WM and Android (ie GenY Dual Boot designed for WM Phones) they would be more inclined to at least give android a shot. (?)
Figured it was worth throwing out there.
It's HTC's lil secrets (booting addys and hardware drivers) they can if they wanted to, but do they want to?
Here is a good one, same processor, obviously same of a lot of stuff that compose the devices, can an HD2 rom be tested on an EVO? hmmmm
