I have owned the HTC 8525 and now own the HTC Tilt 2 and I want to upgrade to another phone with a qwerty keyboard. I was wondering what options are out and/or coming out? I'm looking to get an android or something with WP7 and at&t is my carrier. Any input on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Eh? Lern2internet.
Or is google and Engadget too hard for you?
But while I'm at it let me spoonfeed you:
HTC G2
Motorola Droid 1/2
HTC Vision
HTC Desire Z
Google for more...srsly
No need to be a ****. I did use google but seeing as how this site is FULL of people who live and breathe mobile devices I figured that I would find more information here even after checking Google, Engadget, Gizmodo, GadgetU, GSMarena etc... If you come across any of my other threads and you feel the need to be a complete asshole just feel free to click the back button and pretend you never saw my thread. Thanks for the little help you provided anyway though. Have a good day lol
o'll suggest an HTC hd2 or desire..
they are great phones..

Ow, now my help is little, cause I called you out? LOL
It was such a simple and easily googlable question that deserved a much worse answer (or just ignoring) then mine + it's so bloody broad that at least 20 phones or more would fit it.
I answered cause I'm looking for a possible TP2 replacement and after I saw your question I actually googled it and came up with this in 5 min. So it's not that hard.

Agreed. Not the most helpfull answer Kosmarnik.
As it goes, you might want to look up the Samsung S Pro. The standard S model has reports of serious GPS issues however, the S Pro has been delayed so maybe thats to fix these issues?
I like the Desire Z but it´s only Android
Hope HTC launches a hardware keyboard device with WM so I´ll be able to run both OS in one device!!

Two things:
1.) Why get a EVO? They're overhyped. The HD2 has better RAM (Evo: 512MB HD2: 548 MB) and runs WM, plus, you can boot Android off of it and that in my opinion makes it better because you can have two fully functional OS's. The only thing Evo has over the HD2 is the 4G that not everyone can get in their area, and an 8MP camera.
2.) Really, if you have a problem with the person's question shut the hell up and get off his thread. XDA is supposed to welcome people and treat each one with respect. You make people feel unwelcomed. Either help the person out without criticism, or get a life and stop hassling people for their questions. Dickhead.

Sure sure, but WinMo is a dead platform while Evo is a native Android device. If you can't get Evo, well, go for HD2, but otherwise you're just setting your self up for unneeded work/compatibility issues...
Also for most people just flashing a new rom is too hard, so running a dual-boot setup is out of the question.

I did not insult anyone, I merely suggested that he get's on with the times and learns to Google/Bing/Search forum, if in a tad jesting manner, but insult him I did not. Plus he called for any input on the topic
You on the other hand, rushed in with your whitekinghting and insults. Pfft. I fart in your general direction.
Searching before posting is just common sense.
Now, can we continue with the mourning of Rhodium and lamenting the lack of a decent successor?
And thanks to using the SEARCH BUTTON I found out that Desire Z/G2/Merge are the same phone: HTC Vision with different amounts of ROM! That clears up a lot, but leaves me sad.
Vision seems to use the Rhodium keyboard form, but only 4 rows??? Why do that? And no tilt? 800MHz?
Also, first reports say that the slide hinge is broken:

Update: way to go darth_vato, more internet whiteknights to rescue the thread with their contributions! Now with free lame insults!
If you're looking for a hardware keyboard I'd recommend the HTC Desire Z because at 800mhz it's benchmarks are very near the 1ghz ones in HTC Desire/Google Nexus One. And it looks quite good with Sense UI.

Sorry, didn't realise you were also listing WP7. In that case, check out the Dell Lightining. In all honesty, as long WP7 holds up and does what I need (FULL Exchange) then this will probably be my next phone.
Only one serious concern, I understand that it might not work with SD cards at first release. I currently have a 32gb card full of tv progs, music and work data... this would be a deal killer for me Guess will find out for sure on Monday!

Let me copy and paste an extract from the front page of this great site:
"Welcome to XDA-Developers.com
This site is mostly about certain PDA-phones, made by a firm called HTC in Taiwan. They called them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN', but almost nobody knows them by those names. They are sold through mobile operators that give them their own names. We got our first such phone as 'XDA', hence the name of this site.
Since we developed software for these phones, we needed very specific technical information. When we started xda-developers, neither Microsoft, nor HTC nor the mobile operators seemed eager or even willing to give it to us. So we 'reverse-engineered' the devices, found a lot of information, and shared it with the world. But as our site grew we realised that lots of ordinary users were also suffering from a lack of support. They started using the xda-developers forum to communicate and before long the forum was as much a user forum as it was a developer forum."
This is an HTC devices only forum, that is the position of the owners which I support.
Hope you still be visiting us here, if not would be a shame...

That statement was made ancient time ago, and when the old timer doesn't have much PDA phone choice.
So as this site grew that statement is strongly not appropriate anymore. Do you agree?
Worst thing, O2 aka maker of the original XDA already close-down for good.
Does this mean XDA-developers.com need to close-down as well? (I hope not)
If it does, it'll be really shame as lots of ppl love this site, including me.
Byw,grabbing hard on HTC foots does not earn anyone a single dim or any mercy at all.
XDA foot? Door closed long ago. Wake-up!
That will be a decision of the owners, which I think it won´t change...
p.s. As far as I know O2 has been buyed by Telefonica (Spain) and still alive
okay
A, orb3000, we all know this is a htc forum, but we still like to be kept abreast of the latest technology, we want people like newforce to post this type of news as it gives us an idea of what hardware other manufacterers are putting in the devices
so when u write "Not of much interest here as we dedicate to HTC devices only", this just isnt true as we want this type of info to keep us clued in.
just because this is a htc devices forum doesnt mean we dont want people to contirbute news on other hardware.

Oh my... Oh my... my bad, sorry borce_razor, I had just found out the report is truth.
Samsung OMNIA-2 indeed something different on this aspect from all the PDA phone I had ever own and used.
Yes the web article from wmpoweruser reported correctly,
Samsung Omnia-2 indeed the first multi-language Windows Mobile phone.
Hooray! It's a good news for most WM phone users.
Although this language changing operation from English to others lang took about 10 minutes include a HARD RESET, but think it's worth while to invest in for users in Europe.
Hmm I heard that only need soft reset btw would you like to make dump from rom ?

@pilot, that is my opinion and is very valid, as yours or any other, here we always try to make discussions and opinions respecting each other.
And not all know this is an HTC forum, so making that clear is good.
The WWW is large enough to visit other places and find what other manufacturers are puting on their devices, I think on this site as an HTC specialized forum and that´s because I´m here, if I need any other devices comparative I can go to off topic or visit any other site.
We all (or most of all) have experience enough to do that.
So my point of view does not change, I have some time here and I think this site is large enough with the devices are included here to add more...
Yes comparatives to others brands are ok but in it´s proper place.
Anyway not you or me will decide this, for that we have a great Mod team!
Thank you very much, NewForce. I am highly interested in another phone which has the exact same CPU (B7610), so this is very helpful to me.
The looks good but the memory is to little for wm phone Im I right the first omnia was slow becouse of the low memory
Is it possible?????
No.........

So where are all the #android builds for #hd2 ? Now that we have the working #linux kernel, chefs are letting android fanboys down

ofcourse not, but it's surely not impossible. The hard part was having a working kernel which they do now. it should be easier from now on.
FAQ
*the tmobile us hd2 is the same htc leo as sold in different places in the world. the advertised hardware differences are only marketing talk
*It's known that there are problems booting the kernel with certain AMSS versions. with 2.08 or newer radios it works
*To write a driver for the leo touchscreen we are looking for a datasheet. Name is "Elan B81_". <<<=== any help still welcome
*We are basing on the htc nexus one and codeaurora kernel now. we are aware there are kernel sources for other qsd8k devices (incredible/desire/bravo/..)
*Many drivers are working already and at some point we will have a very good port
*Yes, android will work

I think most people in this thread, myself included, even if they would like to see Android ported to the HD2, are tired of people asking the same question over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again.
I went to tmobile at the mall and i had asked them if i could play with the hd2 before buying one, and the guy had android on his... i'll try to go back and get pics or vids of it.
htc evo has got the same mother board of htc hd2...just let's wait some porting . that's it (who really wants android, can sell his own hd2 and buy an android)

Well boys and girls I just want to say thank you for the fun. I've made the jump to the atrix and I am loving it.
Thanks to all the developers who made my captivate usable. Gonna miss these forums, but its time for me to use a better phone.
Later all.

No more mkv playback for you.
And a locked bootloader to boot.....
Have you guys tried one of these yet? And I ask that not as a smartass ir anything but seriously. This phone is amazing. I don't see anything wrong with it and don't feel the need to use a ROM on it.
This is what a phone should be like. I'll accept all the negatives you guys listed. Besides....the gps works
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I must say I didn't notice my GPS not working on my captivate when I had it navigating me to a tire repair shop today... thank god for making it give me turn by turn directions. lol.. but seriously GPS works thanks to Devs! and Yes I've tried a Atrix out and it just wasn't for me, not sure if its the Blurr or what it just felt sluggish for the UI.
Now the Inspire feels good smooth no locked boot loader, OC 1.8GHz now that is a piece of hardware I'd get my hands on if I didn't know there were better phone's right around the corner
Oh my gps worked on my captivate after finding the right ROM. This one just happens to work out of the box. About to go hook the phone up to my hdtv with the included hdmi cable and watch some videos I took

Man quit being a jerk! Seriously though, you're right in a way, but really I think the multiple threads are fine and those who have an issue with them need to remember that they don't have to read them. They really cause no harm. People will be people and do it even with a sticky and people will still complain about it.

I had an atrix for a day and it was enough for me. The phone was very fast but the screen did not compare to my captivate. I'll be waiting for the galaxy s2 to come out.

Agreed. Why does everyone feel obligated to say they're leaving the captivate? I mean how important can that actually be
Lol it is a great phone; very fast and has a ton of RAM. I'm actually taking mine back in place of a Captivate and Nexus 1 tomorrow though.
I'm sure the bootloader will get cracked or something eventually and when that happens, my upgrade will be used.
These threads do nothing but cause conflicts as the the person leaving will always gush over their new purchase (and sometimes put down their previous device) while thread readers will always defend their device because they still have it.
I can't help but think that these thread starters do so with the intent to ruffle some feathers on their way out. More like a "I'm better than you" attitude masked by pretending to thank the community and developers. If they really wanted to thank developers, they would send them a PM. As for thanking the rest of the community, in all due respect, I don't think anyone really cares.
Now if it was a prominent developer leaving, I could see the reason for a thread in the general forums but a run-of-the-mill user who hasn't contributed anything significant won't affect anyone in the slightest.
Conclusion: These threads are a waste of time.

Now if it was a prominent developer leaving, I could see the reason for a thread in the general forums but a run-of-the-mill user who hasn't contributed anything significant won't affect anyone in the slightest.
Conclusion: These threads are a waste of time.

Thank you so much for assuming my intentions. In all honesty I was thanking the devs and simply saying goodbye.to a good bunch of people.
Personally I think that everyone who has to ***** about a thread they don't want to read are a waste if space and are only doing so to call attention to the fact that they seem to think they are better than anyone else and want nothing more than to belittle everyone.
So glad though that you could see right through my guise and to the heart of the matter.
Maybe one day you will realize that no one really gives a **** about you and that you are a waste of space, but I digress, I wouldn't want someone to assume I harbored any ill will to someone who is only here to make himself feel better about, well himself.
Again thank you devs. You made a good phone great, but I would rather have a phone that worked out of the box and.provided a great experiance that can be built upon, than a phone that could have been great out.of the box, but had to be improved upon to make it usable.

Oh wow this thread is funny. I could care less about people saying they got rid of their captivate and went with something else. I personally like reading threads like this and hearing debates about the differences it makes me know good and bad points about each phone. But I definitely seems like the dude was just thanking developers and saying goodbye...maybe bragging a little that he just upgraged to a dual core processing phone but that cool there's nothing wrong with that.
As for me I still love my captivate and am excited about the galaxy s 2. Super amoled plus and all the other good stuff. Plus I don't care what people say about samsung I love em. Maybe they suck at updates but whatever.

I wasn't saying that he was doing any different. But there has been a more than a few of these threads as of late, and I just feel it takes a bit away from people coming in to these forums looking to discuss their current phones.
Hey Darell, is that true that the GPS connects very very fast?? I saw a video and took only very few seconds to connect.
I am happy your happy with your new Atrix. I did go to the store to try it out, seems nice overall, but not really 'nicer' than the captivate to me. I do love the screen on the captivate. I am waiting myself for tegra 3 phones before I jump...

don't mean to sound like a jerk, but maybe all these recent threads about people jumping ship can be stopped by making a sticky and ONE thread where members can says goodbye to all and thanks to the devs - and even thoughts on their new purchases.

If they really want to thank the developers they should just donate to the whomever's ROM they were using and move on. The "Bye, I've left for the XXX" just comes off as rubbing our noses in it. Nobody really cares.

I know i have did a little joke about the CDMA Hero and webOS but it was in fact harmless, and since i will be getting a hold of the 3.0 WebOS rom, I am going to work on "Porting" via emulation on the EVO 4G. (So no one can ban me, and everyone can use it, even without ROOT.)
If anyone wants to help, or has ideas, drop me a PM or even just reply on here.
I will be doing this LEGITIMATELY and LEGALLY of course, and also, i will be updating this thread almost everyday.. ALMOST everyday. NOT everyday.
Thank you in advance for any help.
im down to be a tester

I also don't think "coming soon" threads are allowed (see here). Hit the triangle in the top right of the OP's post and mod alert ask to stop this now before it's too late.

Next rom you post better be attached with a video step by step of you flashing and booting it.

me to!!!!! i wanna test it!!!! I think the combo of evo size and webOS is a great idea. that was my second thought when i saw something some iphone dual boot android, not fully functional but it booted. and i figure it would be webOS 2.0 or later since it has the on screen keyboard.
if there is anything i can help with, I am at your service.
Damn.... Guess I wont be checking this thread anymore, LOL
And honestly speaking... If I want Web OS I'd buy a Palm phone...
Why would you even want webOS on your Evo? It seems to be just Sense, but more palm-y. If you're interested in this, just flash MikFroyo or something.

i think i flashed mikfroyo as one of my first roms, alooong time ago don't really recall, i miss webOS, and would like to see it on the evo, 9 hshalf of it is due to screen size and possible better performance on better hardware. but i am still happily waiting for the new hp phone.

I had the palm pre before I got the Hero and then the Evo... I only got the Palm because I switched from T-Mo and the G1 to Sprint and there were no Android choices on Sprint yet... The Palm Pre was a decent phone.. better than that iPhone I had way back when on AT&T.... but.. It doesnt hold a candle to where Android is at today.... WebOS has been stagnant compared to Android development and I don't expect that to change any time soon.
Ahhh I remember you I was following that thread man when I had my heroc shame on you for that. You made alot of people upset so your respect as a dev is nonexistent until you provide dude. You even went all out to photoshop pics smh. In blankstare news.....is it 4/1/11?

HA! Your right, I remember somebody found the same pic on google! I forgot about that, lmao. I agree with the second part of your post. I remember mrinehart or something close to that was the main Dev for that project. He went away for some break at school for 2 weeks. In the mean time this cat (OP) started saying he got it to boot and started posting files. The first brick was blamed on the flasher not following directions or something. Then it was he posted the wrong ROM files. Then he loads up more files, claiming these were the ones. By that the mods got wind and locked the thread down. Same should be done here before some n00b gets a brick from this clown!
Yea that was me that found the picture and duplicated it, don't forget 2 weeks later when he posted it again after that boot from sd card thing came out and nobody took him seriously

Good find! I do recall the dual boot script and him trying to re-release his bricks/files, lol. Kinda sad because he sent mrinehart into hiding. I ran into him on Android central not to long ago though. We were both working on building a AOSP for the Optimus S, didnt get to far. SD mounted, sound worked, then Beezy got the radio working, right after that Zefie released a CM7 rom

Maybe someone who is a client of T-Mobile USA will ask them about it?..with official e-mail?
What's the point? To force them order a JB update from HTC? It is unlikely to happen. Manufacturers are used to provide just a couple minor updates for the device and give up with their support efforts. They are pushing customers rather to buy a new hardware than to long-term use of a single device. So it is about 99.99% that there will be no official ICS/JB update for doubleshot.

Someone already posted a message from one of T-Mobile's codemonkeys stating that we're not going to get official ICS because "it would ruin the experience of the phone." Which means HTC and T-Mobile both have abandoned what was supposed to be a flagship phone.
Probably never. Even from day 1, it seemed as if Tmobile abandoned ship and headed to the Amaze, Sensation, etc.

Just for the record, the 4G Slide was never regarded as a flagship phone. Just a high end refresh of a mid-tier phone. Sure it has the same internals as a flagship and an amazing camera, but T-Mobile never marketed it as such, nor did HTC
Also, this thread is repetitive and unnecessary.

Yup, just a scripted response.
The thing is I'm sure they'd have to update Sense as well, it'd make no sense to update to 4.0 and have outdated Sense weighing everything down. So they'd have to update that, then the OS on a phone that hasn't been shown much interest in the first place.

It has been said rime and time again that the mt4gs has been left in the dust with the updates. Its ashame because I love this phone it just has a lack of intrest of others because of the sensation and others released as well. But good thing is that we have a few dedicated devs that make these things possible regardless

HTC would rather abandon products. Even Samsung has announced it will update the Captivate Glide (a QWERTY 4" lower-end phone) to ICS on Nov. 10. This is definitely my last HTC product, they've screwed me twice now (this phone and my Flyer tablet). Not again.

Come over to the Relay 4G. Minus the camera/track pad it's better in every way..
I love beating a dead horse just as much as the next guy, but...
Can we let this topic go already?

I would definitely miss the camera we have here, though.
I'm eyeing for the samsung Stratosphere 2 which is coming sooner this month. I think that phone is far superior than the relay 4g in any way. And has also a better camera. Anybody heard of it? And yeah it has 4G LTE, 8mp Main camera and 2mp front facing camera. It also has S4 processor and a 1GB RAM.
