Which phone better then Tytn II ?

Hi,
Having used Tytn II for 6 months now, I guess there wont be any update regarding the display drivers from HTC, which is the main cause of annoyance. I am looking for suggestions/advice for buying something better then this PDA.
Thanks

If you don't mind leaving Windows, you should get a Nokia N96.
Or if you don't want to leave windows, you can get an HTC X7501. The only problem with that one is that its kinda big due to the 5" screen.

But is it better? Does it have a video driver?

lol. That was an April fool's prank http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/news/show/88380/april-fools-nokia-ventures-into-new-territory-n97w-powered-by-windows-mobile.html

hey, i was kinda in the same boat as you, and ended up buying an n95-4 (the 8gb version). i used it for a few days, and now i'm back to my tilt. the biggest reasons are lack of html in ur emails, no qwerty, and no touchscreen. never knew how important those two are to me. wm also has a lot of free programs, and you dont have to deal with getting them signed (wtf is that??) anywayz, while we ***** and moan about lack of drivers, in all actuality, i think we have the best phone on the market...
omar

I think so too. I can't have a phone without qwerty or touchscreen. And no html in emails? What kinda cheap **** is that?

ya thats one thing i hate about the n95-4, it feels like any crappy cheap phone. its light, not very solidly built (search for slider issues on these phones) and the entire layout of the phone feels the same as any free nokia... now to sell this phone, anybody wanna buy a brand new n95-4

I'll trade you an unlocked Wing for it.

Why is everyone forgetting to mention the world famous iPhone!!!
LOL

ha lol, na thats aiight, i can sell it for $600, easy... bunch of nokia freaks out there

Yea the iphone is good if u dont mind losing your QWERTY and u want something simple. i would compare it to a sidekick on speed. But not a bad phone overall

WOW!!! I was being sarcastic.....

I bought a N95 8gb, really nice piece of gear (would be even better if I could learn how to use the damn thing) great media functions BUT!!!!! there is now a new learning curve,wheres the the stick??? there is no stick no qwerty I have gotten use to win mobile and and using a stylus and qwerty keyboard...on the plus side Movie playback and games are Smoooooooooooth

this is the one

That is a harris briefcase phone
I used to build these in 1986, I always liked the Fujisu phones better. If someone tried to carjack me I could hit them over the head with the handset then call the cops to let them know someone was lying in the road.

My Ipaq 614c has just been delievered. Replacing my TyTn II because it was giving me low EDGE speed connection problem.
Will write a mini review in this thread after I have configured it and have used it for a few days.

Phones with keyboards - Android or WM, any manufacturer

Hey guys
I won't bore you with a long story so here goes the short one: I need a new phone, I currently have an Acer M900, I could buy another M900 but why not try another?
must have KEYBOARD!
Current choices and ruled out:
Omnia 2 - b7whateveritisbuthasakeyboard - No diferent to my Acer and no chefs
Milestone/Android - serious concerns over its keyboard, market access for non-network locked. Ruled out.
TP2 - lesser model than my current Acer and its HTC which i refuse to buy having been burnt several times.
So, are there any other top of the line phones with a keyboard i haven't considered?
Thanks!!!

Have you looked at the Sony Ericsson X2?
But only the TP2 has XDA developer support

Not heard of an X2 so will take a look but I know the X1 was somewhat of a disaster and also made by HTC.

omniapro b7610. its basically an omnia2 with a keyboard. (slightly smaller screen and internal storage...)
LG Expo (IQ). 1Ghz Snapdragon and wm6.5.
and yeah the xperia x2. looks really sweet but using old processor. not made by HTC.

Ruled that out.
The X2 does look good but you have just said my very first glance - old slow processor.
Any idea when the X10 is out? That looks spanky...

^just read on gsmarena it will be available in the uk next month.

start or end or no idea? I'm only back in the country for the first few days...... argh!

arghhh!!!
Very pricey and April

X2 will be awesome, and it's coming soon in the States (not sure about elsewhere).
The Expo too is a good phone for sure, what with Snapdragon and a nice keyboard.

I looked at the X2 and all I can do is hope the processor is wrong on all the data sheets i've seen. How can they design a spanky phone like that and then put a processor in it thats older than my grandmother!
I can't find anything about the LG Expo, can anyone supply me a link? Is it out or due out in the next few days/weeks?

Sorry I forgot that...
but no need to get mad, I also pointed to a non HTC device

looks very stylish but, that snap on keyboard is not going to be handy when I need it as it will back in my draw in the office or something....
and only a 3mp camera in this day and age????

Yes but a VGA front camera!
And for the KB we should test it before having any 2nd thoughts...
Peace,

Still doesn't change the fact that the keyboard is not permanently attached - no matter how it "feels". Its not going to be with me all the time and a lot of that time will be "I wish I had my keyboard with me right now"

Also, I am not too fussed with that big blob in the middle of the keyboard.

[Q] Best hardware keyboard of any phone that you've ever used?

They aren't fashionable these days, but for texting and emailing, they are still very practical. Out of curiosity, what do you consider to be the best hardware keyboard that you've ever used on a cell phone? Why?
Personally, I think that the HTC Touch Pro 2 was the best keyboard that I ever used because of its excellent layout. I also firmly prefer 5-row keyboards, which is one reason why I choose to import my Samsung Epic 4G and use it as a wi-fi device. The keyboard also allowed me to type at a decent WPM rate.

I'm hoping for an Android phone with a similar layout. The G2/Desire Z is a 4-row keyboard and I think that the hinge might snap on that phone.
Note: Please back up your opinions with why if you are going to post a new keyboard.

Without question, the Touch Pro 2.

I absolutely agree, I can only hope there will be a newer model with a keyboard this awesome some day!

hTC Universal has been byfar the best kb device I ever used, of course my Rhodium was a great experience too but never compared to the magnificent kb and rotating pivoting screen of the Uni
Let´s see the Touch Pro 7, hope it will continue the great line of business/kb devices

There's also the new HTC 7 Pro, which is a Windows Phone 7 device. It appears to resemble the Touch Pro 2.
Lets phone for an Android version soon.

TP2 easily. So much space, and so comfortable.

You could have easily made the title of the thread:
Everyone reply to this by saying "Touch Pro 2"
...and gotten basically the same results.

At least one person thinks the HTC Universal is a good keyboard.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and not go with the epic 4g or any android phone in general, but rather the lg xenon. (;

The SE Xperia X2's keyboard is amazing! It had a good feedback and wasn't too "clickey"
Too bad poor software made this phone basically unusable ...

Rhodium phone for sure.

Why was the G1 so good as keyboard? It didn't feel as good as the TP2, unless you've never used it. Or if you're being sarcastic.

I liked the tp1, moved to tp2 and LOOOved it
I have the epic now and love it too. It's near perfect. (Only issue is when you type fairly fast it begins to mis letters and such...not that often though. Maybe 1 every 25 characters)
Overall tp2, epic and tp1 grade A keyboards
Epic Is As Epic Does

hTC Desire Z is also a good competitor, shame only Android on it...
Hope in 2011 the development of real hardware keyboard devices continues and give us a nice surprise!
Still thinking the best all times keyboard device is Universal

I've never used the TP2, I was answering the question. Best keyboard I have used. My opinion.

Yeah, I like the G1 keyboard. Haven't used the TP2 though it certainly looks decent (layout) in photos.
Waiting for a new Android phone with a keyboard at least as good as the G1. G2 loses because of no dedicated digit row.

The best that I've used is probably my Moments keyboard. I liked the soft keys and the spacing. The worst I've used is probably tied right now. Either the Palm Pre keyboard since it's so small, or the Droid keyboard.

Do you still love your Nexus S?

Take the poll!
So do you? Is it just okay now? Is it awful? Share your experience and thoughts on the NS!

Yeeesssss, loft in its beauty. Feel it in your pocket.MMMMMMMMM. So good.

I bought mine on launch, and I still love. My only regret the is potential loss of tmobile, but the FCC seems to be leaning against that.

I really like it a lot. I think it's still the phone I'd choose today if I was in the market again; I've really appreciated the stock experience, especially post-2.3.3 patch, which fixed pretty much all my gripes with it.

I love it, but the only thing that I can think of to change is making the speaker audible when laid on it's back. I had a few missed calls because of this.

I love it. Started off a little bit slow, but things are starting to catch up... slowly.
I never get sick of the phone's looks. And getting the Case-Mate Pop Case made me even love it more.
Edit: Slow as in development.

I love it to death. The only way I would think of giving it up is if the deal goes through. Having a 3g phone with no 3g is lame.

I love it even more.

Same with this guy.

my brother has one. ihave iphone 4. last week i bought one. used but almost brand new. not a single cratch with no visible gtid pattern on the matrix pentile screen. it was stunning.
i figured what the hell, i will try it for few days. if i like it, i will keep it and sell my iphone 4. if not i will return it to the store " store owner is my close friend "
so i played with it. i think its awesome. but i gave it to my brother since it was in better shape than my brothers and he sold his phone.
i use skype video calls almost daily. and i play alot of games. i figured i can live without the skype but it was a no go.
its funny how a small things can screw up big things.
all in all i think its one of the best phones in the market. and i recommend this phone over any andriod phone available right now.
unless optimus 2x will have a cracked bootloader, then i dont think any phone coming soon will top the nexus .
right now i am waiting for the xperia play. for the same reason, i play games alo :/

Interesting responses. I for one, do love mine. I don't think I could ask for more except 3g.

I don't see any reason not to like the Nexus S currently...the only drawback is lack of dual core and 4G. But no biggie to me...I can live with 3G speeds and this phone is super fast with custom rom's, kernels even without dual core.
This will be my phone until GalaxyS 2 comes out on T-Mobile

Then you'll complain about Samsung's delay on Android X.X. Just stay on the Nexus line and wait for the 3rd Nexus Phone.

Got mine as soon as Bestbuy opened on launch day, rooted it later that day as soon as Koush posted directions. Still love the phone and wouldn't trade it for any other phone available now or that has been announced/rumored.

I LOVE IT!
best phone I ever had in 10 ten years. none of them made me love it the way NS made me.

It looks so much like Android.
I'm confused. This may sound like a separate topic but, since Android is open source, does it mean that I can copy it over and change it around and call it MyMobileOS and sell it for money?
Is what XiaoMi phone is doing legal? They just take Google's code and change it around and massively put it on their own phones and sell for money?

nvm. wrong post

i dont like this, if samsung does this, i will just go for the iphone 5.. enough said.

Yeah, finally they have quality products, if they do this...wow

Certainly will be a huge change of OS . . Its ok. . SGS2X will last awhile .......

If anything they will release a phone with this and another equally speced phone with android. No way they are completely abandoning android.

i will definitely move on to the iPhone, or even a wp7 phone if this happens

HTC screens are garbage. I personally think that if Samsung was to go ahead and make this move without continuing to release any Android phones then that would be a negative decision on their part financially.

U would leave android because sammy did?

I seriously doubt the SGSII will have anything but android on it but I certainly don't doubt them making a phone with another OS. look at how many android phones sammy makes. you think they will stop all that?

Tizen is also open source - so you should not pay any money to have it. And looking into the source code - all of the drivers are under Apache License with Samsung as owner. We will probably see Samsung running Tizen soon. Not to mention that Intel is supporting the project hoping that they may enforce x86 instead of ARM processors arch (the same way they are forcing Thunderbird instead of USB). Android got one major flaw - that's the java virtual machine or I should say Oracle.

Looks like a Touch Wiz OS. Low end devices most likely, similar to Bada.

Oh c'mon with the exaggeration.. they're a far cry from 'garbage'!
Samsung screens are nice but the colours (from what I have seen personally) are over saturated in comparison to others such as HTC, which have more natural colours, something a lot of people appreciate.
My best friend has a GS2 and while his screen is nice, it's also tinted yellow because the colour temperature is way off, so the colours on my 1 year old Desire HD actually look better. He's not alone either there's a 200+ page thread on it. Then there's the banding issues people are having on the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note displays.
What I'm getting at is all current screens have their downsides but they're all far from being garbage.

i think that's a new incarnation of BADA OS

It's a bada os, but it'll be open-source this time.
I don't know who need this... Bada failed, Tizen will fail too.

This would be a HUGE mistake. Right now, people love Android, and some of us have quite a bit of money invested in apps and other things. I don't see many devs jumping ship either...
