Buying New Phone Need Advice

last week i started a thread looking to see if i could get a hero.. in the US (currently live in london) that would work in the uk.. the awnser i got was NO... so im looking at any phone.. prefrably something like a hero or a xperia that i could get while in LA and where i might be able to buy one SIM UNLOCKED... at the moment i have a touch diamond and well its really ****... so i don't want anything like it..(my 2005 i mate jam was faster...) so any help is a great help to me as i am rather out of touch with the HTC market at the moment ..

Touch Pro 2 is actually a great device, if you like hardware keyboard is the best on the market
have a look on marketplace section, you can find great deals sometimes
Good luck,

android & Microsoft & vice versa

I was wondering (sorry for sounding stupid); if you can put android into a microsoft phone, can you put microsoft into a Dell Mini 5?
I've been trying to find some site to answer this but I think the best place to answer this is here.
Thanks

AFAIK windows mobile isn't open source. So the kernel code is not available.
Android however is open source so you can download its code to port it to other devices.

I appreciate your answer. While patiently waiting for the HD2, this Dell Mini 5 is now being shown, now I'm a Windows man (?) & the Dell being Android which is kinda new, I use Google search. With this in mind am I already familiar with Android???
I hope you understand my dilemma, simply put am I already using Android?
I don't like Bing I use Google search.
Lastly am I waiting for a Windows phone or should I be getting the Android (Dell Mini 5)???
(Lots of questions but again Thanks).
This is driving me crazy!

I hope I understand your question. Android is a very user-friendly OS, so it's not important if you're familiar with it.
If you buy an HD2, there will be android available for it in future and maybe also windows phone 7 series.
I hope you understand my dilemma, simply put am I already using Android?

I don't understand your question. Do you want to ask if you are already using Android when you use Google search?

Again, I suggest you buy the HD2, it's a great device!

No problem, you're welcome.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Thank you, you did understood my questions.
I've been following the 'Leo" for a very long time but since then new apparatuses have arrived & all this talk with Android, I just wanted to make sure that by the time the HD2 gets here it would still be proper to buy.
You have calmed my nerves & waiting for the HD2 is "still" at the top of my list. Its been awhile but good things come to those who wait.
Again Thank you

I figure here is the best place to say this, Android is lagging in so many ways I'd be a fool to go there. The Dell Mini 5 looks good but the Android really is lacking. I truely hope Windows can get themselves into the cloud as quick as possible. Regretfully the HD2 isn't allowed there (WIN7) & to wonder how long before another phone would be developed with regards to the mighty HD2 makes me accept the HD2 & use it for the lenght of time until the WIN7 becomes usable, concidering this is a new decade with new ideas.
I don't think I will have any regrets doing this.
Thanks.
Hope this makes sense to you.

maybe a bad question, but need to know it

Best all
before I get to excited, I need to know some thing.
Cause I want to buy a wp7 for my birthday,but I live in the entherlands.
So how do I get the phone at all? Do I need to impport it form the Uk, or germany. And can I then actually use it?
Thanks, in avantage

nooo, that takes to long.
So, nobody knows it?

Be patient boy.
Everyone has to wait untill 11 oct before than there won't be any WP7.
After that date it's coming to the market.... and when will that be in the Netherlands. Nobody knows!
Which provider? Nobody knows!
Buy yourself a nice and beatiful HD2....
then you've got 3 options.... 1: WM6.5, 2: Android, 3 possibly WP7 (from the devellopers here at XDA)

I would say that buying a HD2 this close to the WP7 launch is a bad idea, especially if he wants WP7.
There are no warranties whatsoever that WP7 will run on the HD2, at least not good. I would imagine that it will take a while before it will work as good as a "real" device

You're right but the HD2 has got in my opinion the biggest chance to be a WP7 phone. Sure it will take a while.... but I'm patient
Unfortunatly he's not because of his birthday.
Conclusion: Buy a WP7 device hahaha
Thanks for your add to my reply.

thanks guys, only 5 days, woot
Iwilait, cause yea, I'm not so paitient, and I hope that some phone will be cheaper then 500 bucks ;D

[Q] I need help so I dont brick my phone!

I just got an HTC HD 2 today from a friend, and it already has a version of android on it. I dont know how to replace the android files without messing up the phone. Can someone help or walk me through this?

i know this aint help but have u tried the hd2 section

also is your name from coheed and cambria lol!

I have looked through the section and I cant find anything on how to replace the files. Yes it is. The greatest band ever!

sry i dont know anything about the hd2 and yes sir you are correct i just saw them in dallas for the neverender tour 4 hours of nothing but coheed it was amazing my 3rd show i may add new orleans, little rock, and dallas!

you shld be able to ask the same question in that thread im sure someone will be able to help

If your friend was so generous to give you that nice piece of hardware I´m sure he can guide you to replace the Android OS with that Microsoft crap. Your friend has invested some time and energy in the modification of his phone so he would be interested in having you enjoying it, too, wouldn´t he?

To be able to help it would be useful to know if android rom is nand (ie has replaced the original wm6.5 os) or is running from sd card.
When you boot up the phone, does magldr load?
I would suggest you do go over to the hd2 forum and look at the sticky threads, tey have all the info you will need to change/update android to something newer or even change os completely to say wp7?
If your droid is nand, it is very simple to update, just head over to the HD2 nand forum
Cheers.

Thank you everybody for being kind and not throwing noob slanders at me. The friend who gave me the phone actually bought it off of someone who put android on it haha so this nice phone is a hand-me-down for sure.

I would love go on vacation in New Zealand. Unfortunately, not anytime soon. Good luck!

there is a bunch of clutter right now on mango, but you should read as much as you can so nothing goes wrong, it finally made it to my phone
sure after about 6 hours of reading and actually doing it. but trust me, it is well worth it, you won't regret it, mango is awesome!
good luck to you

Am I right in thinking that it's Mango OR sideloading? There's no way to keep HTC Youtube and Navigon on my Omnia 7 and get Mango?

Thanks for replying guys.
But no one can help me? t.t
is it fully functional though?
I mean, is it fine to use in daily?

lol what a small world, i live in auckland, nz.. im in north shore to be exact, though i`ve decided not to upgrade to the beta as i heard some incomplete features and such. so im better off waiting for the real deal.

Might have some luck with the Samsung network profile tool. It does handle registry edits since it can setup for mms,etc. Read somewhere it uses provxml also. Not sure of the name it need to be and would have no way to test it.
Do samsungs have access to read/write to the windows directory?
