[Q] Samsung or HTC (WP7) - General Questions and Answers

I want to buy a windows phone 7 device.
I've read some reviews but I don't know to select which one: Samsung Omnia 7 or HTC Mozart?
I've heard that some HTC devices are made in china and you can't install new (coocked) roms on it easily.
Software support is very important for me and I use to study on phone so a proper screen for reading is mportant.
Does every app run on mozart runs on omnia 7 too?
And something else: HTC mozart is cheaper than Omnia 7! It seems weird for me because mozart camera is 8MP.

In terms of cost the parts used to build the phone makes the price. Even if the mozart had a 8mp and the omnia had a 5 the 5 may be better because of the quality.

no more answer?

Finally, due to the big number of latest technology mobiles and models I need your recommendation for a good mobile to buy. I can wait few more weeks if there is some thing nice coming soon.

If you do a lot of typing on your phone than a hardware keyboard is quite handy.
Phones with hardware keyboard:
- Sony Ericsson Xperia X1
- HTC Touch Pro 1 or 2 (Pro2 will not be released for some time, so maybe not an option)
If you don't want/need a hardware keyboard, you've got quite some options.
In my opinion the best choice at the moment:
- HTC Touch Diamond2
- HTC Touch HD
Maybe you would like a smartphone (Blackberry like):
- HTC Snap

I personally would go with the Sensation, it has Dual-Core, Runs 2.3(Even though it has Sense 3.0), and I have always loved HTC build quality my N1 lasted for ever and no case the whole time i had it. Not to mention HTC has excellent customer service.

You cant go wrong with sensation or galaxy 2, galaxy 2 has better specs, and screen but I would go with sensation

I'm patiently awaiting the Sensation also. However, it will have a locked bootloader similar to what's implemented on the Incredible S. There hasn't been much progress unlocking that one yet that I've read, so if flashing custom ROMs will be important to you, try the Galaxy S2. I'm sure it will have quite a following here on XDA.
Popular opinion was that the Atrix would be the bee's knees, and the bootloader is still holding up development.
Thanks for the quick replies.
So it would be better to go for the Sensation, but what about he omnia 7?
I like windows phone 7 I already worked with so i's familiar for me.
Wouldn't that be the best choice? beacause the specs are great and that for € 350
Both Androids are much better, but also more expensive! if money is not the problem I wouldn't hesitate to go for the Galaxy S II - i am going to get a Galaxy S (older one) soon and I still think it's a very good equipment (probably better than all those Windows mobile phones you mentioned)

I agree with u that of the money part but if not go for the sensation in my opinion, even if the galaxy has better specs

Out of all those choices, I'd go with the Sensation. HTC has been doing a great job in terms of hardward as far as I'm concerned. I have an EVO and I'm still thrilled with it thanks to the Fresh ROM
dual core phones i guess..
sensation. Definitely
[Sig] dId you know? If you Insert a Coin on your Desire, then it levels up to HD, Z or S :[/Sig] !!!! 10 post limit for off topic NOW!!!!
If you like WP7 mate, the Focus is the best phone you have listed. If you need a hardware keyboard, consider the LG Quantum also, which is a decent little package.
only concider Android phone is right choice
I would go with the sensation, because I really like how it looks and its alluminium case, although I prefer SGSII's screen. Also, I prefer Android to WP7.
Money isn't directly the problem because I'm working now but it's rather time.
I can buy the Omnia 7 next week, but to buy the sensation or galaxy S II I've to wait an extra 3 or 4 weeks.
What's the big difference between the sensation and galaxy S II, the galaxy S II has better specs for the money but almost everybody is telling me to buy the Sensation,why?
And thanks for the replies
Windows phones blow. I returned the quantum after 2 days!
I actually liked wp 7, it's easy to use and very fast. But I don't know anything about the build quality, is there someone who's or had a Omnia 7?
I'd go with one of the android devices. My brother hated windows mobile when he had it.
i'd second that htc sensation
Check out the development of roms for each of the phones and pick one that you can root and have a lot of capabilities of customization
Defy or Spice - MI410 (Ideos X6) - Dilema
I am looking at buying an android phone,my Usage is:
1) 30 to 40 calls a day (Incomming & outgoing put together) averaging 3 to 4 mins each = Average daily talk time = 120 Mins
2) Music/Videos/Games = 1 to 2 hrs a day
3) Internet = Googling for Info/Checking personal mails = 2 to 3 hrs a day = on GPRS/3G or free Wifi if available.
4) Occasionally editing word or excel docs, view pdf files.
4) Take photos & videos on occasions.
5) Install software from android market for navigation/utility/timepass.
Considering Defy because it is:
1) Waterprooof - I have had to replace an earlier mototola touchscreen phone because of damage due to rain/sweat.
2) Dustproof/Scratch proof/Rugged= I am not very careful with phones, & it needs to survive occasional handling by my 2 year old daughter.
3) Reliable brand & updates available in the android community
4) Available for for 15949 rs @ letsbuy with icicilb coupon code (I have never bought anything online, do i get 1200 rs off by just typing this code on the letsbuy site.)
Considering Spice MI 410 because it has got:
1) 1GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 205 GPU, Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon = Doc editing (word & excel) could actually work, whereas it might struggle on the TI OMAP3610 800 MHz processor on Defy
2) 4.1 inches screen vs 3.7 of the Defy = Could transalate into better browsing/video experience on the spice 410 which also has a better GPU.
3) Secondary VGA Camera For Video Calling, not available on Defy
4) 5 MP, 2592х1944 pixels, autofocus, LED flash on both defy & spice, but spice has HDMI out, DIVX & HD video recording
5) Available for for 13999 rs @ Saholic, a spice group venture & at spice hotspot stores.
Thus i am in a dilema
a) Since the mind picks defy (rugged build, reliable brand with updates & support available)
b) Heart picks Spice 410, since its got a bigger screen, better processor & appears to be ready for the future (HDMI, HD recording, Secondary video)
Please advice.

[Q] Upgrade to Windows 8

Hi all,
I'm looking into buying a windows phone (found a htc 7 mozart really cheap) and I've made some extensive research on the os (I plan to start developing). However I have one question left: When Windows 8 will be released, will we be able to upgrade without having to change phones? Does anybody have any clue? Especially for 1st gen devices like the mozart.
Thanks in advance
i am sure it will, atleast the Windows 8 upgrade, maybe a bit later
else Microsoft have told about that
I really hope so. I want my focus to run Apollo

Cheapest Windows Phone 7 device?

Hi!
I'm about to change my phone and I was wondering what's in Your opinion best Windows Phone 7 device, my only requirement(besides it has WM 7) is to be rather cheap phone....
How about the Lumia 710
Sent from my Blade using xda premium
you can get an HD2 and port windows 7 on it, hd2's are pretty cheap nowadays. Or if you dont want to port it, you can always get a samsung focus, lg quantum or hd7. I think the focus would be the cheapest out of all.
