These phones run MTK and Windows Mobile,what is MTK?
http://www.mtk.com.tw/
check it out via above website

I wouldn't mind having that handset, in terms of its design anyway! Dpad and numpad combined, not too bad!

Was that a question at the audience? At the site, MTK is said to be a company making chips (for dopod presumably). But by the look of the touchscreen (note the 5 touch areas) I would guess that's the popular Chinese handset interface (nothing special there though, will find a review if anyone's interested).

it's very popular in china,because the price is good for the customers,any other companies could release the PPC phone as cheap as this one?it seems none!

I would get one too ...
I does not quite understand the overpricing of the HTC products ...
as we can all see customer support sucks ...
after all who will give 800 euros for a TyTN 2 (Tilt)?

osavioro,u have to know,such as HTC these big company,they got a huge profit on phone,then release a huge price for the customers,they r JS(JS=奸商=profiteer)，we must refuse them,go ahead

Actually I got my t-mobile wing at $135 which isn't that much more than this one. (The sales person at the T-mobile counter gave me a price break after a half an hour debate on the phone. lol)

wow,henrynhl,really?haha.pretty nice.

This is 2 year old model and I suppose that you've signed contract ... try to get Tilt with no operator contract (just the phone).

excuse me,i want to know,is any one here using this phone or the similar?

everyone ignores me

很酷！我就是用这个手机的。
it's cool。

Anyone have a link to more about this phone? Googling "Shanzai" brings up this thread and nothing else related to phones, and www.m8cool.com (as seen in the photo) doesn't exist.

www.m8cool.com exists ... not that I've been able to extract any particular information from it

Soooooooo where can you buy one?
That link takes you to a page but you can't buy one there.
This looks like it might be fun to play with.

Did some searching and found this:
http://www.eemobi.cn/mobile/search.aspx?keywords=COOLO818i
Its Not $99.00 -- more like $150.00 and then shipping from China. Gets pretty expensive.

Oh ok, it must have been down yesterday when I tried to get to it.

guys check this site out for chinese handsets there very cheap for British & Europeans, however prices go up alot when I select U.S. dollars so I guess they not much use for our American brothers

I just got back from China and they had quite a few phones like this but they were all quite a bit more expensive.
However, everything is China is MARKED very high. Doesn't mean you pay alot.

Phones with keyboards - Android or WM, any manufacturer

Hey guys
I won't bore you with a long story so here goes the short one: I need a new phone, I currently have an Acer M900, I could buy another M900 but why not try another?
must have KEYBOARD!
Current choices and ruled out:
Omnia 2 - b7whateveritisbuthasakeyboard - No diferent to my Acer and no chefs
Milestone/Android - serious concerns over its keyboard, market access for non-network locked. Ruled out.
TP2 - lesser model than my current Acer and its HTC which i refuse to buy having been burnt several times.
So, are there any other top of the line phones with a keyboard i haven't considered?
Thanks!!!

Have you looked at the Sony Ericsson X2?
But only the TP2 has XDA developer support

Not heard of an X2 so will take a look but I know the X1 was somewhat of a disaster and also made by HTC.

omniapro b7610. its basically an omnia2 with a keyboard. (slightly smaller screen and internal storage...)
LG Expo (IQ). 1Ghz Snapdragon and wm6.5.
and yeah the xperia x2. looks really sweet but using old processor. not made by HTC.

Ruled that out.
The X2 does look good but you have just said my very first glance - old slow processor.
Any idea when the X10 is out? That looks spanky...

^just read on gsmarena it will be available in the uk next month.

start or end or no idea? I'm only back in the country for the first few days...... argh!

arghhh!!!
Very pricey and April

X2 will be awesome, and it's coming soon in the States (not sure about elsewhere).
The Expo too is a good phone for sure, what with Snapdragon and a nice keyboard.

Orb, i don't know how many times in the past I have told YOU I will never have another HTC manufactured device. I've also mentioned it in the original post. So thanks but, no thanks!

I looked at the X2 and all I can do is hope the processor is wrong on all the data sheets i've seen. How can they design a spanky phone like that and then put a processor in it thats older than my grandmother!
I can't find anything about the LG Expo, can anyone supply me a link? Is it out or due out in the next few days/weeks?

Sorry I forgot that...
but no need to get mad, I also pointed to a non HTC device

looks very stylish but, that snap on keyboard is not going to be handy when I need it as it will back in my draw in the office or something....
and only a 3mp camera in this day and age????

Yes but a VGA front camera!
And for the KB we should test it before having any 2nd thoughts...
Peace,

Still doesn't change the fact that the keyboard is not permanently attached - no matter how it "feels". Its not going to be with me all the time and a lot of that time will be "I wish I had my keyboard with me right now"

Also, I am not too fussed with that big blob in the middle of the keyboard.

arm bag strip for desire to hold it while running

I found one at decathlon but it was too short to keep an htc or iphone.
Do u know where to find one on ebay?

Almost a year ago I bought the "Tune Belt AB8" somewhere from eBay for my HTC TyTNII. I think it was designed for the iPhone, but fitted nice for my TyTNII and guess what? It fits the Desire even better!!
The Tune Belt itself is perfect for the job!

http://www.jjbsports.com/run-365-armband-wallet/running/shop/fcp-product/10930
Bought this the other day from JJB, fits the desire perfectly but only without a headphone plugged in. With the headphone plugged in I have to keep the zip open a little on one side, works fine but wont keep the rain off.

Try the xtrememac sportwrap obviously for the IPOD or IPHONE, but the headphones plug in nicely and it fits perfectly. I can even use the screen whilst it is in the strap.
It is nice and comfortable as well. Surprised me a little really I usually dont like things on my arm when I am running. The only thing that did not seem to work perfectly is the little plastic clip that you can wind the extra flex onto it keept unwinding.

This one for the Nexus One ought to do the trick:

I'm looking for an arm strap/holder thing for running too, needs to be splash (rainproof). Anyone got any new ideas on this? The ones posted don't look too great.

bump

How about this one?
Yes I know it's for a Nexus One, but they have very similiar specs and yes I know it aint waterproof, but what about the looks of it ?
Lol can't post links yet. Hmm way to find it: go to amazon.com and type: tuneband nexus one

Looks not bad. Would prefer a desire one that is definitely waterproof. I'm a jock and the weather in jockland is atrocious. Doesn't stop me running though..
Keep the suggestions coming.

anyone bought or found anything yet to test?

Search "Iarmband" on google or ebay, it's an universal armband, it's ok for the nexus one, for iphone, for HD2 an other phone.

I dont think they are rainproof either.

I wish someone would make a Desire specific one.

Anything new on this subject?

I think I'll just need to go for the google Nexus armband that igadgetz make. I might be a bit tight but it's the closest thing to what I'm looking for. Shame as I would really have preferred an armband specific to the exact Desire dimensions.

For those that might be interested in the iGadgetz model:
Hi Roscoe141,
Thank you for contacting us. An armband for the HTC Desire will be available in August.
Should you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Don't compromise
I've found the best universal case. It's Krusell Orbit Flex . It has many options to use. Arm strap, bike holder, etc.

Nexus one should be close enough. I bought this one. Was sent today. I'll post some pics with the desire when I get it.

I use the one I had from my old iPhone 2G sms fits perfectly.

Which OTG cable?

Now that source is released I'm sure OTG will be implemented quickly for all of us to enjoy and take advantage of. It will be my first time using this feature, and I was curious if you guys had any insight on if there's any cable better than the rest? I saw a 9.99 one on eBay for the S II and many others. Does it matter which one I buy?

Honestly, mine is from eBay for like $2 and it works very well

I use these ones from amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Micro-USB-OTG...UTF8&qid=1343308860&sr=8-2&keywords=otg+cable
shipping take awhile though!!

lol no. I didn't check the seller, mine was located in the US. Let me see if I can find them then. Mine was definitely similarly priced and looked the same which is why I didn't check the info in-depth.
I'll edit when I find mine
EDIT: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FUNYSA/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
lol they are the same ones I think. It does say they originally ship from Hong Kong. I bet BOHO Electronics just had some in stock locally when I ordered.
Anyway for anyone else looking, just search USB OTG cable and find yourself a US (or your country) seller to get it shipped quickly. They should generally be under $5 shipped.
I'm in Alabama and Boho got mine to me in under a week

Just recieved my OTG cable today, bought the one Myron posted off Amazon, but though a different seller so didn't ship from Hong Kong. Only issue is that it wouldn't fit with the case on (I have the Speck Candyshell Grip), but it looks like most of them I've seen so far wouldn't fit either. If anyone knows of an OTG cable with a smaller MicroUSB end that might work, I would love to know!
Looking forward to being able to use it with my HOX!

[Q] Opinion re: practicality of app space for heavy app use

I am looking at both the HOX and the Skyrocket (aka Samsung S II LTE on Rogers). From what I've read, despite having similar specs, the HOX is superior. The obvious limitation is the lack of expandability. While for *most* users this wouldn't be much of an issue (use that Dropbox space!), I have my phones loaded with tons of medical references. Right now, I have ~7 GB of apps on my old HTC Sensation 4G. So, I'd like an opinion as to whether you think the HOX is a practical choice. I'd rather take a hit on performance than sacrifice apps!
Edit: When I say ~7 GB of apps, I do mean the apk + its data, not just apks only. Also, I'm definitely rooting whatever phone I get. I'm using AOKP on my Sensation right now and will probably do the same with the new one.

I have the skyrocket and the hoxl my skyrocket is half the phone the hoxl is if u need storage can't u get a 32gb version of hoxl?
My skyrocket has screen blobs on it and the sticky power button issue so ya two hardware problems on one phone bad deal get the hoxl and don't look back.

Rogers doesn't carry the 32 GB version, and I can't afford to buy one elsewhere.
This doesn't answer my question, though. As I said, I'd rather suffer some small annoyances than be unable to keep my vital references!

It's all up to you man... If the space is really that much of a bother get the skyrocket end of story

I have about 5gig of app w/data, but I don't store music and photos. I use Pandora and transfer photos to pc regularly. Have about 8 gigs extra space after my backup of Rom and downloads.

box of kittens, the point is that I don't know if space will be that much of a bother! That's why I'm asking for some opinions!
Thanks, rdannar!
Any others willing to share their experience?

Here's what you have to work with on this phone. You can determine if it's enough for you.

only you know what you can/can't live without. if your medical stuff requires more space than the phone has and you can't afford the 32gb version, then your decision has been made for you. I came to the HOX from Sensation and have managed just fine, but we all have different needs I guess.....

One thing about that picture I posted, I'm pretty sure 4 gbytes is taken up by "other" in the apps partition... Its reserved so you can't use it.
