I'm surprised there hasn't been any sort of announcement yet, specially Microsoft.
Any rumors running around?

There are Windows 7 Tablets, just like the were Vista & XP tablets. They just aren't common place or that popular. Just google "Windows 7 Tablet" & you'll find a lot of scattered information. Tablets only recently became popular with the iPad/Android tablets which a Windows 7 Tablet would never stand a chance against as it's not finger friendly. The whole reason for Windows 8 using the WP7 Metro UI.
I'll be buying the Iconia W500 later this month. There's also a version that runs android too under the name Iconia A500... The Iconia A500 actually has a subforum here at XDA already.
I went to compusa last week as they had one on display that I could play with. The great thing was it comes with a keyboard dock that more or less turns it into a netbook too.
Search for Windows 8,
That's true answer for your tablet.

Yeah, i did notice how tablet-like it was as soon as the video demo popped up into the web.
Should be interesting to see where microsoft takes things, but there really hasn't been any announcements, which is what i had hoped/wondered.

I played around with the ASUS *something* Windows 7 tablet (i meant to say windows 7 "phone" tablet in the title) that had the i5 CPU. It didn't feel completely right though.
I don't really think the actual windows 7 truly belongs in tablets.
I guess up to this moment , iPad is the best selling tablet with no decent competitor

Welcome to the "early mover" marketing strategy. People bought the iPad because there was nothing else (yet) and since there are a ton of suckers that bought it, people think it is near impossible for anything else to beat it.
I know this is not out yet, but it should be in a few months if the information is correct: http://www.gizmodigit.com/asus-eee-...ream-sandwich-tipped-for-octnov-release-date/

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.

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.
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
I have a vibrant and hd2...I don't like my hd2...I would say any of the new samsung galaxy s phones with the new bright colorfull screens!

westicle, I have chuckled at things on XDA before, perhaps even giggled, but that was the first time I ever "laughed out loud," as they say. +1. This thread should have been stopped after that 2nd post.
viewsonic is one of the tablets and it has 1ghz pentium processor (i think) but then there are some lower end dual boot tablets with lower specs. It's probably more likely to get windows phone 7 though

You mean like this? It's been up for a while...I ran it for like, a day. It was pretty cool, and is even cooler if you're good with photoshop.
It would be pretty impressive to see Windows 7 running on a Hero or any other Android device.
Well, in order to get started, the first thing you're going to need is the source code for Windows 7. I'm sure a quick phone call to Microsoft customer service is all it'll take to get that....
Forgetting about memory and storage requirements, the cpu is all wrong. Win7 only runs on Intel architecture processors. The tablets that it's been dual booted on are Intel Atom based.
Then there's the fact that even on my reasonably powerful laptop, Win7 is a bloated pig that often runs at a snails pace. The thought of trying to use it on smartphone class hardware makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry.....

Hello
Im looking to get a tablet and iv noticed that the Galaxy Nexus 7 tablet seems to get some pretty good feedback, and the price seems very nice.
I will most likely use the tablet to watch movies, play games, do school work and surf on the nett a bit.
Can someone confirm it is a good tablet for my use?
Thanks =)

Yes, yes, yes. Got one for work demo purposes and love it. Going to get one for personal use as well I reckon.
The voices in my head are telling me to buy one, £200 for a tablet with those specs is a bargain, but my wife is telling me no
So far she's winning, but if it had 3G I'd give my works crappy ipad3 back and get myself a nexus7
Yeah, get one .
Nexus 7 is awesome , meanwhile, you can consider Galaxy Note 10

Don't listen to your wife! :laugh: Nothing good ever came out of listening to your wife / girlfriend.
Be advised...it is not a GALAXY Nexus 7. Galaxy is a Samsung trademark. The tablet is made by Asus. It is just a Nexus 7.
Unless you can get one of the older tablets for much cheaper, N7 is best deal by far.
It is not called GALAXY Nexus 7

Oooh. I don't know but it looks legit. Though has some errors.
Like a Xperia device with an HTC look?
And it wouldn't be called nexus 4 like you said in the title.
I agree its a head scratcher... Id buy one though ?

Sorry to correct you but the new nexus device could very well be call the nexus 4 2015 but it would more than likely not be made by Sony it would be by Motorola again because each company that google goes with it seems that they let that company make 2 phones then they move on as for it being called the nexus 4 2015 there has been a lot of talk that it will be called the nexus 4 2015 and or the nexus 5 2015 just like the 2 nexus 7s also it would not be coming out until 2016 but that's my though on the date but it could come out this year though not until October or later

Nah i think googles endgame is to cycle through as many quality OEMs as possible, ingraining android and also forcing the companies to perform under its own quality standards. Each company thats made a google device has subsequently reached new heights. Asus and LG are making excellent stuff nowadays. I own a TF701 and its the best 10 inch tablet in existence for me.
