I think this looks really smart so would be delighted if someone could make a theme similar to this. Or infact if someone has already started to link me to that thread.

Nice concept...for the phone, I think I don't like the silvery part on the back...It's kinda too much...

Damn.. I want to bash my HD2 every time I think about the HD3.... in any way, as long as winmo7 is not in it, it will kick the HD2's ass and make me regret putting so much money on it ><

Well officially there isn't any news about a hd3 at all, and the only unofficial rumor i have heard was that someone found a "hd3" name in some random system (what am i missing) so i doubt that we will see a HD3 for quite a time, and i am more than just pretty sure that it will not have the specs of that concept, as it seems too unrealistic for me
And when the HD3 comes, i am also pretty sure it will be shipped with WM7, and not WM6.5.x, since WM7 is the newest from microsoft, and also seems to be the most user friendly, which, whether you like it or not, is what gives the most customers Us powerusers is not the main audience, the casual user is
I will buy Win7 phone only if someone confirm some Win7 hack's or downgrade possibility to win6.5(.x) I dont wanna having cool, modern, but unuseless (restrictions) phone.
I think better is change fav platform to Android, coz it have future and it shoot itself to foot like Micro**** do.
Looks cool but a 4.7 screen is just too big I think.

I'd agree there. The HD2 has the screen size pretty much spot on. Any bigger and it's going to stop fitting in pockets and become a bridge device between phone and tablet PC.
If HTC want to make a tablet PC though, I'm fine with that As long as they make it out of strong alloy so i can use it to beat iPad fanbois round the back of the head with
the concept has 4 led flash wtf

lol i agree 4 LEDs is pretty crazy. why not just a xenon flash or something like that? apart from that.. looks nice. and yes probably a bit too big. i would think the same size as our hd2 now, maybe even a lil thinner, with the AMOLED or even super AMOLED from samsung would be really nice. would help save a lot of battery consumption too. then of course.. faster processor, more RAM. sweet!

Hey all, thought I would post this here since you all have some time under your belt with the HTC Arrive.
I have the opportunity today to trade my Nexus S 4G for an HTC Arrive. I really like the Metro UI and that keyboard is dreamy. Not a big fan of the tilted screen. Wish it could stay flat.
Anyways, what are your thoughts? Good even trade? Would you go back to Android if you could? Is there a better Windows Phone 7 coming down the line I don't know about and should wait?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
I really like my arrive, the keyboard is great (and a physical keyboard is a must for me) but I agree on the tilt screen, it does nothing for me other than making it more of a pain to close. I dont have any inside info or insight but I dont think I would count on another WP7 device coming to Sprint until 2012.
If you think you like wp7 I say go for it unless you really need 4G.
I have an Evo sitting in my desk right now and I'm sending this from my Arrive. I do like the WP7 UX better than Android, but the lack of available apps can be frustrating coming from an iOS or Android background.
Ultimately the choice is up to you, but I'm happy on the WP7 bandwagon.
Sent from my T7575 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I guess I should have mentioned that I came from a Palm Pixi and there are definitely some things I miss from webOS but app support is not one of them.
Thanks for all the suggestions. It feels solid like you are holding quality stuff. The keyboard is fantastic. I forgot how wonderful physical buttons are.
I did go ahead and make the even trade. Beforehand I did look around and even if I would have sold the Nexus to buy an Arrive, the difference was minimal. So I did an even trade and we're both happy with the swap.
The UI is snappy and there is no lag or hiccups. If there is, I don't notice them. My signal has been good so far. Haven't tried the Telenav yet. Connecting to Xbox Live was more pleasing than I had anticipated.
Bought Fruit Ninja and when I heard that achievement unlocked sound I just popped a big ol smile. Looking forward to Mango. I'll miss my Nexus and definitely will miss some of my Android apps, but I'd trade all over again in a heart beat. This is a sweet phone.
Also, the Nexus' Super AMOLED display is the best and will definitely miss that. The Arrive's LCD is decent though and I'll get used to it.

I used to have a Pre. I LOVED that OS, but boy was the hardware lacking and the dev support is disheartening. It will always be the OS that should have won the Mobile OS race in my opinion. At least it inspired other companies to improve theirs. Mango is proof of that with the card view option which I am so looking forward to.
Ok, so, let me start by saying, you must have a non defective unit for this lol... To love it.. I've had both defective and non defective and its night and day..
I love my g2x (had one since release give our take a few Weeks for the crapsation). This phone is rock solid. I love the speaker on the bottom under the awesome grill. The stand alone hdmi port is great for still needing to charge while using it. The iPs display at 4 inches is the perfect size, it has a amoled like color with sharpness in texts amoled doesn't give... I could go on and on, but I just wanted to state that i'm sticking this beast until I get my hands on a quad core. Nothing else is a upgrade...
Did mention the awesome games? Try sprinkle on this.. Smooth as a hit of Sativa..
no haters....
I love my g2x, ordered it minutes after it was available online. It works great never had any issues with it.
Best Phone ever!!
I like my G2x as well (love is way too strong a word here) but I would like it even more if the FFC were of any use, if the A2DP worked, and if the promise of vanilla Android leading quick updates had been kept.
So yea, I'm looking forward to something better.

Yes, my phone is More Gangsta than yours...
Yes, my phone is a beast. Just before meetings start, I used to whip out my n900 playing angry birds and everyone else would eventually look for it on their iPhones, They moved to android based phones...THEN While everyone whips out their verizon driod X2, their ATT android phones and show off angry birds...whip out my phone and I show off Backbreaker...and sit it on the table and the meetings start...
Everytime I whip out a phone, amazement sets in... 'What kind of phone is that, it's so thin, sounds good, is that an HDMI port at the top, that looks like a 'droid' <-- c'mon folks is my normal response...Droid's were on Star Wars, android devices are phones and tablets maybe even a microwave or refrigerator. So STOP CALLING THESE ANDROID phones 'Droids'...
I sit it down, meeting stops, The glare from the side in shear amazement, because they can read my text messages from 4 feet away...
I say the same thing...My phone is awesome. Basic android Friggin great!

Right there with ya. I've been on board with the G2X since early on. Got mine back at the end of April. Definitely love it, as much as one can love a phone. Lol
Thanks for this thread smashpunks. I know some people have legitimate issues with their phones. But it's nice to hear the other side of things too.
Love my g2x to death too just rooted and flashed to bionic rc1
After Gingerbread all is well for me!

Love mine even though it has screen bleeding. Just rooted and flashed Cm7.
the g2x is fine but i was watching the stock market and saw a lot of double purchases g2x stock and ky. so that is a little worrisome. im not buying any used g2x's.
Masters of redundancy here. How many times do people feel entitled to review a device? Or is this a cheap attempt to keep things alive in the G2x forum by prevoking argumentation since that is all these sort of threads ever amount to? From someone that makes it quite clear they are a frequent visitor of the g2x forums making yet another one of these threads instead of contributing to the plethora of similar ones screams "I want attention."
And since some are going to cry 'troll,' I'll say my piece: this phone is powerful but needs a "Some assembly required" sticker on the box. Other than that I stuck with this device thru my woes for a reason & I see nothing comparable to it despite its flaws.

Take a look at the popular game downloads, read a few messages, and see how many don't run correctly on the GSII and sensation. I am sure its a wonderful phone and whatnot, but software does not seem to work with great compatibility. Beyond running Tegra games, the Tegra runs all games with better compatibility.
See anyone posting that there favorite games don't work?
G2x is fastest on gaming benchmarks still.
Even i am loving my T-Mobile G2X so much.
In-spite of being purchased an used one off ebay, my phone didn't have any issues.
No reboots, no screen bleeding etc.
Very happy.
Just point me to a place where game discussions are happening around this mobile phone.
Just got my replacement. Haven't had one reboot yet. Battery is about 20 hours on stock gb . Lovin it.

For the past few days I've been enjoying the skyrocket but I've been feeling a bit nostalgic after ditching my iPhone 3GS. I find the size of the phone to be a tad too big for me because I have to maneuver the phone a lot to slide down the notifications and the feel of plastic in my just doesn't seem right to me. I also feel that the phone lacks in music controls from anywhere whereas iOS double home press is so flawless. Does anyone have any tweak suggestion for this fix? Because If there isn't I'm just gonna go back to iOS since I feel so at home with it and with 4S jailbreak just around the corner, there's gonna be endless possibilities for it.
Thanks and Happy Holidays to all XDA members!
Man just give it some time you will get use to it. I gave up my iPhone 4s for this super skyrocket the thing is I love both platforms it came down to the screen for me iPhone to small yet better screen.
My needs are met I can't complain to much .... plus this white skyrocket is just out right beautiful

Man, I came from a 3gs, there's no going back. There are things I miss about iOS, but its all made up by features I love in android OS. I pick up my wife's 4s occasionally and laugh at how tiny the screen is. Personal preference, but I would stick it out a bit as I too had these same feelings.

Skyrocket should automatically show the music controls on the lockscreen while playing.
And the plastic, you just need time, you get used to it.

Oh I was talking about using PlayerPro or in fact any alternative. Even with the stock player it only shows pause and play. Ugh I'm so bipolar with phones LOL. Mostly because I'm scared of any problems or buyers remorse that might come up in the future.

It really all depends on what you want to do with the phone.
I upgraded to the 4S before exchanging it with a buddy for his skyrocket. The ONLY thing I miss was the Visual Voicemail integration in the iPhone was better. But the Visual Voicemail AT&T provides is pretty neat too, not to mention google voice is another great option. Camera is great on both phones. Siri I didn't use much so can't comment on it. I will have to warn you, the battery life on the 4S has also suffered now that they've implemented the same drop-down notification window thing that Android does.
I agree a jailbreak will make the 4S a great device, and that's one of the main reasons I switched is because the damn jailbreak is taking sooo long. Here they've already rooted this bad boy, and made ROM's for it. Plus I hate going through iTunes. I would much rather drag-n-drop songs and videos directly into the phone (personal preference). Another thing is, LTE is enabled in both New York and NJ and the speeds I get on the Skyrocket are pretty awesome.
These are just the points I thought of when making a decision. I might switch to another Android device in a few months, but I'm done with iOS. It's stagnant now.
@abudabu. I agree with your points as I was thinking the same things. However I have been having audio issues as posted in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408545

I've had the phone for about 3 weeks. I did look at an iphone, but the Skyrocket really grabbed my attention. Winamp is great for music, and I also did not want to be tied to itunes. Even if you don't root and flah a rom, there are great customizations available through android market. Give this phone a chance, it is winner in my opinion.

Listen, if one gets used in a specific interface, other interfaces may look difficult to work with and master. So, if the phone is too big for your hands, and you have usability issues, why fight it? Go back to iPhone. Of course, within 2 - 3 months, the Skyrocket would be running ICS and the UI would be different again. I personally love the phone, I think that it is a great piece of hardware, but size and previous patterns of use is something that would be experienced differently by individual users.
If you want to stick it out, then you must learn a bit more about ICS (Android 4.0) because this would be the OS that you would be running the longest in this phone. My guess is that by the time there is Android 5.0 out there, you would be ready for an upgrade!!!
Get that sweet Iphone.. I mean that awesome 3 inch screen and all the Isheep followers.. who doesnt want that?
I had a Icrap for 3 days.. its so small and you can't do anything with it but look at it..
The SR or any other Android is much better than any Iphone..
get go launcher, our adw launcher, they have downward swipe to get notification down. so that we don't need to have super long thumb.

iPhone 4s is outdated
I can't ever go back to iPhone 4s. Maybe when iPhone 5 is 4.5", offered external storage support, LTE, and DivX, XviD, MKV support....then they've finally caught up.
Not to be mean, but if you have to ask. I hope you are still able to return the real phone for a childs toy. Yes i have seen a 5 year old use an iphone, and i think Fisher Price has some new iphone cases coming out next year.
^^^^^^^^_Lol true true true^^^^^^^^^^^
I agree with everything that you guys said above about the size and the plastic but it is lighter and the screen size is just phenominal compared to the iphone. My friend has an iphone 4s and he is always jealous of how customizable my phone is. I think that is the strongest part of the Android OS, the fact that your phone is totally unique to you
Let me clearly tell you who suppose to use i****!
Kids under 10!!
And Oldies Over 60!!
If you are not in one of those categories than i don't feel like explaining you the difference. Because I think You know the difference between the two.
One is Windows 8 and other is Window XP!
There you have my opinion and I m sure many will agree with me.
If you agree with me Thumbs UP!
Coming from the iPhone 3GS, I don't regret moving to the SR at all. So much more customizable, bigger screen, great interface. I don't even notice the plastic on the phone, because I always use a case on my phones. And, I'm using Go launcher, which is a fantastic interface. It took awhile to get used to android vs. iOS, but I'm so glad I stuck with it. Keep it, and you won't be sorry!
See even former iphone users know iphone cant compete with android (skyrocket) You should listen to her

Yep. That 'bout sums it up.
Only concept phones but it is crazy.
My prefered is the window phone.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/195965/20_crazy_concept_phones.html
The Projector/Printer phone was my favorite. I have to say that I did not realize that so many companies were working on flexible devices. Samsung was the only one I knew of with something viable and worthwhile coming to the market soon.
The thris is very crazy
but i like the 15th :fingers-crossed:
Concept phones are like concept cars, they look so futuristic until they come out (if they do) and then they just look like every other car/phone and not like the futuristic concept.
I could actually see the wrist phone selling, not crazy numbers but it would probably sell.
"That's One Glassy Phone"... just myself who would purchase one if it ever came into production?
None of those wrist phones were sleek though. With all the smartphone-linked watches that are already out I think those inventors have missed the boat.
That’s One Glassy Phone is really cool!!
I like the transforming phone. But that's just because it would be awesome to have a real life transformer. Most of those devices are so completely impractical.
I didn't like them, I prefer my HOX
Well, concepts, sure, but where-da-faq-is-the-battery?
lol very funny.:good:

Beautiful design, but it's a WP. After seeing all the possibilities that Android offers I could never go to such a locked-down interface. Nokia has shot itself in the foot soooo hard by only backing Windows devices. They would sell the crap out of that thing if it came with Android.
