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.

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.

Orb, i don't know how many times in the past I have told YOU I will never have another HTC manufactured device. I've also mentioned it in the original post. So thanks but, no thanks!

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.

Andorid Phone with Keyboard?

Hey fellow XDA'ers! I have a HD2 now, and want to get a phone with a keyboard after having a N900
Well, I know the dell lightning will have a nice slider, but Im liking WP7 less and less as people talk about it. I want a android, with a keyboard.
Thanks! - GamerMYJ
Mods- Sorry if this is in the wrong section, feel free to help me move
Yes, I did a google search, so dont flame, just ended up with 1 y/o threads on HF and stuff.

gsm or cdma?
In my opinion:
CDMA- Samsung Moment

GSM- MyTouch Slide
Just stay away from Motorola's

Actually moto droid/milestone is by far the best android if you need a keyboard, it is as thin as without a keyboard. it has no buttons around the sides and the notification light is the very best - not rediculously bright.

The keyboard on that thing SUCKS, but then again, it's all a matter of opinion (and I share the same opinion as most people).

I really don't think the keyboard is that bad

how about the lg eve? the keys are small but are better spaced out.

Im looking for a GSM, and considered the mytouch, but the processor is slower then most phones I've had... How come most phones with keyboards arnt as good as touch only?
Droid: I've really heard the keyboard sucks, dont want to risk it
Lg eve: TINY screen. Going from hd2 to eve: suicide.
I with the EVO had a keyboard..

Cheap QWERTY Android: Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro.
Expensive QWERTY Android: HTC Vision (HTC Desire with a Keyboard) (Unknown release date, rumored to be after summer)

This one

HTC Rhodium with XDAndroid

HTC Kaiser with flashed Eclair 2.1, why reinvent the wheel?

I would stay away from the Moto Droid's KB. The phone itself is great but the KB is awkward IMO.
Geek press says the mytouch slide has great KB but haven't personally tried it.

+1 on rhodium running xandroid..some things arent working still..ie :sound,bt, but i can deal with that

Why get another phone only to put Android on it? Seems pointless to me.... especially if you're suggesting something that breaks sound.

Why so few physical KB's on Android?

I am so close to getting my entire family on HTC devices.
I have a TP2, daughter has an Eris, Son getting an Imagio.
The wife wants an Android phone but she (like me) needs a physical keyboard.
Of all the Android devices HTC has put out, why are there so few with physical keyboards (both on T-Mobile at that).
UGH...
Now she is leaning towards a Moto Droid... .

Not only on young Android
for WM too
Hope last qt2010 we can see something
What about this one?

Tmobile my touch slider

Every major carrier has an HTC WinMo device with a keyboard. That being the TouchPro2 is carrieried by the big 4 and some of the smaller carriers too, whereas TMO is the only US carrier to offer HTC Android devices with a keyboard.

True, but verizon does have the droid.... If you really must have HTC then idk...

HTC Wildfire may has QWERTY keyboard...
MOTO milestone and ME600 also have QWERTY keyboard.
QWERTY keyboard is unnecessary for me.

The Wildfire doesn't have a QWERTY keyboard. It's like a baby made of Momma Nexus and Papa Desire.

PC70110=HTC Wildfire?
In China,many sites say PC70110(or Wildfire,you can visit:http://www.pdafans.com/article-6189-1.html) has QWERTY keyboard......

The PC70110 is not the Wildfire. The picture is the Wildfire. The PC70110 looks has a keyboard like a TouchPro2.
Interesting phone although.

I literally just posted this in another forum today, but I completely agree. I am dumbfounded by the lack of an HTC Android QWERTY. Then again, looking at the history, it could be on its way in 4th quarter. Granted, these were almost all WinMo phones, but still...
HTC's Verizon release schedule for example:
Keyboard
HTC Harrier - November 2004
HTC Apache - February 2006 (odd delays, believe me, I remember)
HTC Titan - December 2007
HTC Raphael - November 2008
HTC Rhodium - September 2009
No Keyboard
HTC Vogue - April 2008
HTC Diamond - April 2009
HTC Droid Incredible - April 2010
Seems like a pretty obvious pattern to me. Sometime in 4th quarter most likely, but I'd love to see some more leaked info soon. In the past, we've typically already seen the first in the wild shots, FCC info, etc... Nothing so far, which has me thinking I'll end up with the Droid 2.
I will say that I'm getting closer to being comfortable moving away from a hardware QWERTY. I am definitely switching to an Android device this fall, and with multi-touch keyboards and Swype, I'm feeling a little more confident in the transition. Big step though, had a hardware keyboard since 2004.

Well it is moot now. We ended up getting my wife an LG Ally

I think most hardware companies think it's all about getting the latest chips and screens, slapping it in any old case, and getting it on the market. Keyboards take time and effort to design. This is also why just about every non-Apple phone is painful to look at.

Oh, HTC already has the design of the near-perfect keyboard (Touch Pro2). The fact that they haven't put it on an Android device is what boggles my mind.

Agreed....

Honestly, I thought I'd never replace my G1 without having a new hardware keyboard. Wife had a few free upgrades so we got our new MT3GS's, and I've used the keyboard maybe 10 times in the weeks I've had it. SWYPE has made me a believer, I will probably never use the keyboard again unless SWYPE is not available.

I thought the same, and even gave the Imagio a whirl.
I couldn't deal with it, so to the TP2 I went.

What is your favorite device?

Hi everyone, I have been wondering what people think is the best phone on the market and why?
This thread is designed for those who want to purchase a new phone, but don't want to buy something that is only hyped and has no substance. By the people, For the People!
Please state the phone and your reason why it is your personal favorite. (Note: It could be any phone, even the iPhone 4.)
Thanks To all those who post!

I thought the Motorola Dynatac 800X was pretty coollio, last week!

My favorite phone by all means is (because I own it) HTC HD2. Mines is a TMOUS, but if you are planning on buying one get the world version its universal. Here is a video (not mine) on why the HD2 is better than iPhone 3GS in versus type explanation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9cOMoouatY&feature=related . The HD2 is a versatile device. It has the capability of running Windows Mobile 6.5, Windows Mobile 6.5.x, and new to the device many versions of android. I personally enjoy its big 4.3 inch screen. It has a pretty good 5 megapixel camera with a dual LED flash.
Exception: The phone overheats alot!

That's funny,

There are way to many phones out there to choose from. Money is also a variable. I have a HTC Doual Touch and I am happy with it for now. I am aware that it is not the best but it is good enough.

Whats funny is this was a monutmental breakthrough in cellular phones. The precvious model looked like a car battery with a phone on top. My neighboor got the first car/cell phone ever made and showed it off to the neighboorhood. It was funny because no one ,,,, got it. No one understood what that big ass cynderblock represented and what it would lead too. So when ever I see the older cell phones I think back to the original and laugh thinking, if you'd been carrying that car battery the past 2 years this thing looks like its from startrek.

I here there will be a new Brick just around the corner

WTF, mine never overheated, and im using it so hard >.<!
my favorite is the htc hd2 too, but thats because i love winmo, and i love the option to boot android too (wich works just awsome, better then i thought).
but for a totaly new person, i wouldnt recommend to buy a winmo 6.5 phone, cause that OS is sadly dying more and more, and the hd2 will probably the last winmo device.. ;(
i would wait for a new phone to come out..

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=599210

I'd go for the hd2, I don't own it. But I like the device.
sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...

Now i have a motorola dext. pretty good phone, really.
But i love the NexusOne and the HD2, if i have money i buy one.

I love my HD2. Even before I Android running on it. WinMo is smooth as silk on it. I love options too.

I love my diamond,if i have money i would buy a desire!

Well,mine is the Desire.I own it,I love Android,I love the device itself and would recommend it to everyone!

Thanks for the Replies

Wow, everyone seems to LOVE the HD2 here, and HATE it on howardforums.
I really don't know what to do. :/

i just got my new n shiny galaxy s n i m just lovin it..

To me:
Android: Dell Streak
Winmo: HD2
WinPhone 7: whatever next from HTC

I love my X10a, it's super good looking
