HTC Touch Pro, is it possible to replace the back cover?

Hi all
I'm just in the middle of a talk with a supplier to get a HTC Touch pro into my hands and i was looking for a bit of advice from some of the early adopters
the hermes was found to develop a few common issues with the first few batches, does this seem to be the case with the raphael too?
also,
If i was to purchase the touch pro today, could i go and swap the back cover of the touch pro with that of the vario 4? (i.e. the 'smooth' cover) i dont really like the whole multi faceted business going on
many thanks

I know the flat back from the O2 variant does not fit on an unbranded device..
Besides - the Vario IV is a different shape from the unbranded no?

windows mobile phone for around £100 gbp

im looking for a windows mobile phone for around £100
only thing's i really want is wifi and qwerty keyboard on it.
any idea's???
all help and input welcome

You wouldn't get one brand new for that kind of money, but you may be lucky enough to get a second hand one from ebay or something.
The HTC Touch Pro 2 seem to go for about £150 on ebay, so you should get the HTC Touch Pro for about £100 > £110.
The mWg Zinc II (I think...) may be quite cheap this way.
Note that I haven't had any of the above mentioned handsets so I don't know if they're any good - they're just the ones with wifi and qwerty keyboards that I can think off which would be about that price range.
I suppose it depends on what you're hoping to do with it - If the qwerty keyboard isn't an absolute necessity, you may even get a HTC TouchHD (Blackstone) for about £100.
Good luck!

Inspire or Desire Z NAM

I currently have both phones and trying to decide which one to sell. I am leaning more towards selling the Desire Z, but not really sure. The main reason I would have for keeping the Desire Z would be because of being able to use to $10 unlimited plan. I don't really use to keyboard, but it's nice to have. However it's looking like ATT has made the effort in having highend Android phones since the iPhone is on Verizon too. Meaning I eventually would have to pay more for a data plan because of other ATT Android phones that will be available throughout the yr. I usually keep phones on average for 4 months or until a better one comes out. Here are the advantages I have when comparing both phones. I always root every Android phone I have owned so SW and performance is similar between the two.
Desire Z A7275:
- Keyboard
- Trackpad
- Can use $10 unlimited Data Plan
- Ease of Access for Battery
- Less People will have in the US
- Better Build
- Camera Button
HTC Inspire A9192:
- Larger Screen
- Feels Slightly Lighter, less bulky
- Lower Price if buying outright($430 w/tax in DFW area)
- Slightly better Battery
- 4G Capable....soon
- Can send for warranty in US
- Better location of USB port

i was tempted to sell my inspire once i got it...not because i was displeased at all, but because they were going for upwards of 500 on ebay and i got mine for 99 with an upgrade.
check completed listings in ebay and see which phone is bringing more money, maybe that will help sway you one way or the other?

I had the Desire Z and was ok with it but did not like the hinge system a little flimsy and was not that tight. The screen was good and I liked the build but nothing can beat the size of the Inspire screen. I sold my Desire Z and my Desire both on E-bay to get this phone.
I thought long and hard about it but in the end it came down to how well the screen size is easy to read with old eye's. The unlimited data was nice and in the end I lost it but I really do not miss it that much and it was not that much of a factor in getting this phone.The track pad on the Z was a joke to me, my Desire trackpad was better than the Z.
Battery access on the Impression is not bad at all I have had no problems with it at all. In the end it comes down to what you want to spend you money on, for me it was the Inspire AKA Desire HD.

What they are selling for on e-bay is no indication, it took me three times to sell my Desire Z and in the end I only got $450.00 for it which sucks considering I spent $650.00 to get it from Canada only three weeks before I sold it.
To the OP you would probably get more out of selling your iphone than selling the Z!!!

this is a no brainer for me! i cant go back to screen less than 4.3!!
i can exchange my inspire for atrix with dual core. but i think bigger screen is more important to me than dual core.

After seeing what they are selling that Motorola for all I can say is forget it there is NO motorola worth that much and that processor is going to eat batteries like candy!!!!

Desire Z all the way!
I have both phones (among others) and I honestly believe the desire Z is the best phone I’ve ever had.
I love the inspire and its large screen but the build quality of the desire Z seems higher, its battery life is better and the track pad and keyboard seal the deal. The hinge while odd at first works brilliantly and after using the onscreen keyboard again I’m double sold on the hardware keyboard. Granted until I spent 2 week with WP7 on an HD2 I thought the htc touch keyboard was the best but now it’s the low point of the phone.
Of course I use my phone for business and travel so I make a lot of use of the keyboard. Of course it is fun to bring out the inspire in front of my iphone toting friends and have them ask about the screen and widgets

I don't think you can get even 3G with Desire Z. Desire Z works on HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz but ATT runs 850/1900 MHz (soon 850 only)
Edge is way too slow for me...
Mine bad, Canada version of Desire Z do works on HSPA/WCDMA (850/1900 MHz). I was looking at the Euro version b4. Sorry.

Everyone who is using the Desire Z with ATT 3G is using the Unlocked Bell version(A7275). This came out back in October of last yr. The tmo and Euro version(A7272) doesn't work on ATT 3G

[Q] LG Optimus 2x (Broken my HD2)

Hi Guys,
This weekend my phone fell out of my hands and now the glass display is broken, which sux a**! To repair it, it will cost around 150 euro. So I started thinking about buying a new phone.
Surely I'd want to buy the SGS 2 or the HTC Sensation, but the price of 500 euro just doesn't do it for me, I was already very happy with my HD2, so why spent so much money on a phone which will open my mail in 200 ms instat of 400 ms
But the LG Optimus 2x of 400 euro's is one i'd consider. But, this phone comes with Android 2.2 standart which I think/hope is the couse of all the bad tests on the internet. But if I look into the LG Optimus 2x forum here at xda, I see there are not very much roms available, and it looks like they are not jet completely stable. (or a i wrong?)
So, is it worth it to buy this phone, or should i look into a SGS/Desire HD/Desire S (for better battery usage) or just repair my HD2?

The 2x is a very well priced phone, and there is cm 7 for your froyo troubles.

samsung galaxy s2 also good ，I am using desire S2 iphone4 and orange v880

Whoever gave you that repair quote is really trying to rip you off. We have never charged more than 100USD for glass, 150 total for glass and lcd. I would say keep looking, youll probably find a better repair shop that charges you less to fix it.
HD2's are excellent phones, ive passed up a Nexus S 9020 and 2 iphone 4's in favor of my pocket laptop

Best unlocked GSM phone under $200?

Any recommendations? Preferably with a qwerty keyboard. I've been looking at the Motorola Cliq and Sony X10 Mini Pro

from retail or private sellers?
i recently picked up a HTC HD2 in solid condition for $100 from a private seller. needs a new screen, but that's about it.
