[Q] Hello everyone! Another newbie here, advice needed... - General Questions and Answers

Hey everyone, new poster here! Forgive me if there's already a few threads about this, but I was wondering if there's anyone who can recommend me a few smartphones? Something relatively small with MP3/music capability (with plenty of memory) and internet browsing.
Any response would be greatly appreciated!

Lots of options Out there...You fan of any specific OS?

Hello, and welcome to the forums!
Plenty of choice out there but the trend is towards larger screens and you want something small right?
I'd have a look at the HTC Desire or Desire S personally. 3.7" screen, which some would consider small these days, but i think is a perfect size! They all do music playback well these days though and almost all will accept at least a 16GB microSD card for storing your tunes on.
I'm sure others will have their own suggestions too.

argon/panda/6300 users????

just courious to know how many other users have this device? can't be just me can it??
i chose this because of the screen size (all the better for surfing with)
if there are enough of us we could request the mods add us a section so can start to 'develop' specifically for this device
add your responces folks
poll added for Panda owners -do we want our own thread? yes or no

I was just looking at this right now. I currently have an o2 XDA IIs, and was wondering if this was the upgrade/replacement for it?
Have you compared it to IIs at all? I'd be interested to know if it's worth getting (IIs colour scheme is better IMO =P)
I don't have a Panda yet, but am looking at them for the reasons you mentioned. If you read through the About XDA Developers sub forum in the general forum, it has been already asked for, but asking again can't hurt.

hi steve, have checked and responded to all of the threads so i know there are users out there. have had mine for about 4 months now and am impressed. the large screen makes it easy to use and most applications work fine. the only issue i have is that is wm5 only at the mo, does limit the operation a bit as 6 would be faster. still can't have it all
hi angerfist7777,
my understanding is that the argon is the updates version of the 2/2i. info and specs can be foung on gsmarena.
i find that it is a good device the only limit is no 3g but using opera mini this is not an issue, also the wifi works well?
Thats good to hear. I think there are enough people here with them to get a forum going. Then that should generate enough interest to get some development going.

I'm using the BA at the moment, same sie screen, and slide out keyboard. I like it, it's a bit bulky, and I'm not too fond of the screen style, size, love it, but I'd prefer a harder screen to it, maybe like the kind of screen on the iPhone etc. but anyway.
the BA has had enough development for several WM6 roms going. The reason I asked if it was the upgrade to the BA was maybe those roms could be used on it with a little tweaking. I don't know enought o do so myself, but am interested.

so far only the stock rom and radio as far as I can find out.
we need more users to push either this or one of the other threads to generate more interest
can then hope to push for a sub forum and start to develop

[Q] Advice needed! (about new phone)

Hello everyone,
Right now I own an HD2, and I am very happy with it.
But my contract expires soon, so I will be able to choose a new phone. But the thing is due to some changes my provider made I thought I would be able to choose a phone in late august. Turns out I could object to the cnages and now I can get my new phone in june.
But now I don't have time to do as much research as I normally would. So that is where I need your advice. What phone would be a worthy succesor for my HD2?
I use my phone mainly for entertainment so for me important things are:
Large internal memory
Good sound quality
Large screen (preferably 4.3 inch)
Speed
Android
Also important is the ability to flash ROM's but when I pick a phone that is already able to flash a custom ROM, it is probably a slightly older phone. But when I pick a very new phone I would just have to hope that it will become popular on XDa and flashing will become an option.
So advice and opinions please!
P.S it even makes me a little sad to get a new phone... I had an Xperia X1 before my HD2, but I had an HD2 based ROM on it so I have been on this forum for a few years now and I've grown attached to it. Kinda pathetic huh?
Oh I have mistakenly put this in the General forum instead of the HD2 General forum. So mods if you find this, please move my thread
I believe HTC Sensation will satify your requirements.

Thank you so much for pointing it out! Looks very nice

[Q] Two screens into one?

Hello everyone! Being new to XDA, I didn't know where to ask this, partly because its such a specific question, so i apologize if there is already a thread for this...
I am looking for some kind of app/hack/game/etc. that would allow me to use my two devices (droid razr & nex7) to control somthing on one screen, (over bt / wifi?) and then "throw" or "manipulate" it to the other screen. As if both devices were one screen.
I am quite the techie guy, but this escapes me. Iv'e looked on the intertoobs for some such thing... but to no avail.
The reason i ask is just simply to play with it. I saw a TED talk where Marco Tempest did something to this effect on a few devices he was using in his demonstration, and i have also seen this in other videos. (and forgot which ones)
I would like this to be say like a party piece, or just a "hey that's cool". Anyone know of anything like this?
Any help would be appreciated!

[Q] I need advice, please read, imporant! iMac related

Hi guys and gals I'm new to the forum.
I've recently decided I wanted to get into app development, I am still yet to learn Objective C and Java but I want to be making apps for both iOS as well as Android.
I am thinking of getting an iMac 27-inch: 3.4GHz is it completely worth it or are there other alternatives out there with a cheaper or similar price tag? Please I would like informative responses so do not post unless its helpful as it will save my time and yours
I'm assuming this might not be a straight forward answer but the reason I want to get an iMac is due to the wider screen size and clearer display and for using XCODE (eventually) but I want to develop for Android also.
Would you also recommend any programmes or software to use for someone starting out with programming and development? Ideally for starting out and then the more complicated programmes for experienced people.
Thank you.
Bump, could someone please answer me.
