Panasonic ???
iPhone | ??? | GSII
Specs are actually unknown but they wanna make high end devices. All we know is that it will be dust/water resistant. Perfect for me. If I get any opportunity to change my OB, it will be a "PanaPhone".
CES 2012 will be great

It looks so much so like my old HTC diamond

Panasonic announced plans to launch its first global smartphone in Europe next year in March. Company has not sold mobile phones in Europe since January 2006.
In the announcement company has not declared its name but did say that this slim bezel phone features an ultra-slim D-shaped design for easy portability with a 4.3-inch qHD OLED screen and would be waterproof and dustproof. Other specs are undisclosed...........

Good to see them getting back into the smart phone game. More competition means better quality phones for all.

I look forward to seeing what they release in March.

panasonic phone looks like the Prada phone

That actually looks pretty good

they arrive a little late, hoping this won't affect their ambitions. It will also be very good if launch prices are not too high. I'm very interrested of that.

the price and how commen the components are would sell me on them.

Have to wonder how waterproof/dustproof will relate to repairing devices.
Some companies have made it easier (apple) but every android phone I have opened has been a hassle! Maybe they will just glue them shut so nobody can open them

I should say Jp's industrial design is great

It is a interesting sharing........

Always been a fan of Panasonic, let's hope these continue their line of excellent products.

The last and only time I had a Panasonic phone was back in the days when phones had external antennas!!

if panasonic can somehow get their LX5 camera with phone capability running Android ICS, I would buy that phone in a heart beat.

I like their design but sadly they never have a single phone that's run on my carrier's frequency band.

High End PPC Phone.... jaw dropping!

I came across this looking for a replacement for my MDA, want a better one. Look at this one on http://www.jarengoh.com/
Its a XScale 400MHz and 4MP camera, and WM5..... Coming out soon. What do you think?
tried PIE and wm5 opera I think you might have a dead link
matrix849:
Try desktop browser. The whole page is one big flash so I doubt anything on the PPC will show it properly.
weezy:
It looks great, but they don't say what it has (hardware wise) besides the camera and WiFi.
Is there BT? How much memory? Screen resolution? Is it a Smartphone or Pocket PC based? (touch screen?)
It's not on the products page of the company they gave the link to, so I don't see anything to be excited about yet.
From memory, I believe this is supposed to cost around $300,000, with the White Diamond consumer end model around $4000.

Yep, bang on it's on the website at $300,000 available 2007
I think I'll buy two
Buying that phone you would think does it come with 8 rooms and a five car garage. Still good phone to look at :lol:
Addition to the design phones
Hi people,
Here are two additions to the design phones. Both are concept though.
But still are really wicked.
So have a look and let's hope the companies do build such smartphones.

I don't know the rules about forum swearnig but "F**k me!" that's a breath taking phone...even more breath taking than the V3 RAZR and on the same level of breath taking as the Vertu range, which cost around £3,000.
Oh my gosh I've just discovered that Vertu is owned by Nokia Corporation ... so they're just high-end flashy Nokia mobiles?
Uh, what a disgrace!
Nice find
Vertu are hardly high end, feature wise, but they're blingin.
A guy at work here has the Bang & Olufsen Serene, which is also expensive, and damn user unfriendly. But at least it has a motorized self open/close mechanism

Take a look at this too http://keesoo.multics.org/articles/jan2005/se/se_design.htm
This is strange looks like Wizard (designer is so impressed I think)
All of these jaw-dropping / mouth-watering / breath-taking phones are just pure luxury...I think I'm just going to have a heart-attack and collapse ontop of the Pool table.

What phone to buy

Hi boys and girls!
I was planning on buying the new Diamond 2 as soon as it hit the shelves here in Norway, but as HTC still thinks I should pay for the repair of an USB port which was DOA I have decided to try to find some other phone...
So - anyone have any good suggestions?
Cheers!
Nokia 5110
I prefer the lime green casing myself, but that is personal preference, as is selecting a device or a type of wine.

@ Red: Thanks for the suggestion, but I find it too small for my liking. My three "musts" are:
1. The handset need to be sturdy. If i forget my hammer, I need something to hit other drivers with.
2. Must come with its own backpack, and the fabric must be washable.
3. I sometimes use the phone in my care, so the top part must be possible to detach from the battery. There just isn't space in my estate car to have the battery in the front.
My best bet til now is this model:

haha great response. With all honesty go with something a bit inexpensive in the meantime if you are waiting for TP2 to be released in your country.
Actually, I'd rather go for something NOT from HTC...
Go for Touch Pro 2 or Toshiba TG01
Or buy the new HTC Touch HD ...
Thanks for the suggestion. Will have to have a look at the Toshiba. As for HTC, I'd really like to stuff the aforementioned phone (the Ericsson) somewhere the sun don't shine. Unfortunately, I think I will have to use "most people" as a baseline for sun-exposure, as I have a feeling these guys (?) do a lot of "work" on all fours
I understand your reluctance to get a HTC again I for one have a HD which is actually really good although when i first brought one it had 3 dead pixels and although htc wouldnt replace it the shop i brought it from would, now after 3 months or so my replacement has just developed a stuck pixel which I have never seen before I've has so many products with lcd screens and worked in a shop for a bit that sold them and only ever seen them come with a dead/stuck pixel. its not really noticeable but very annoying considering the price of the phone. So I was thinking thats the last time i buy a htc but then I realized there isn't any 1 else who makes anything near as good in terms of features and looks.
my first choice would be the hd
go for the HD or a super processor snapdragon on the Toshiba TG01

[NEWS REPORT]Nokia Will Unveil 5 New Phones At MWC 2017

Hey everybody. Just want to let you know that my Uncle William, actually works at Nokia in the UK at the moment, for helping Nokia release their 5 New phones. (Just like Sony..) He will probably be attending as one of the Nokia section host's at Barcelona, bit I'm not 100% sure on that, as He hasn't made a clear statment yet on that, and also that I live in NZ.[emoji14]Below are 2 phones that he knows about that are being released soon, and announced at MWC 2017. The other 3 will have specs between the first and second phone below.
A lot of leaks toward another Nokia phone, the Nokia 8, is also going to be one of, but since most of the specs are already leaked, I won't share that info.
Also note that all 5 of the phones that will be unveiled at MWC 2017 will have 4G LTE Connectivity.
The first phone will be called the "Nokia IP1." The Specs are as followed down below. (Note that * means may/may not.)
-6GB RAM
-4G LTE
-Android 7.1
-Selection up to 256GB of built-in storage
-QHD Screen*
-3400Mah Battery*
-Snapdragon 835*
-Water & Dust Resistance* (The name "IP" sort of hints it.)
My uncle basically told me these info above about how it will definitely have 4G, Android 7.1, 6GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, but unsure about the rest. I can definitely say however that this will be certainly the new Nokia flagship phone of 2017, as the specs of the IP1 is miles ahead better than the already out Nokia 6. The price he told me will just be a little more than the Nokia 6. Having said that, he hasn't told me by how much "little" nore it will cost, but I would guess that it would cost under $350US, or even lower if were lucky.
He didn't send me any photos as he hasn't seen the phone for it self yet.
...Now the second phone is actually a fun one. The next phone is called the Nokia Retro, or alternatively called the new Nokia 3310. Now there aren't yet any official specs given on this phone apart from it's 4G Capability, price tag and RAM capacity, as he doesn't know much about the specs by himself, (He hasn't been given any info.) however, we may see this phone in the lower spec section than the IP1 as the price of the Retro/3310 will be ~168 Pounds. The specs are as followed..
-2GB RAM
-4G LTE
-Snapdragon 650/652*
-2800Mah Battery*
-Android 7.0 OR 7.1*
Having said that, he has also sent me a picture of what the phone will probably look like. Note that the picture he sent me, he had explained that the image is a mockup of what the actual phone will look like, which why I asked him why there was a picture of the Android Lollipop Homescreen in the phone. But personally looking at the design, I do like the nostalgic design of the phone! (Please don't start and say that I have photoshopped this. I'm not that good with photoshop. ) Hope you guys enjoy this news post. If you don't believe me, then I guess we can just wait and see what happens at MWC 2017 at Barcelona on the 26th February! Cheers.

Galaxy A51 Skins.

Just applied this gadgetshieldz concrete skin. The skin improves grip and looks attractive. Take a look at my phone, how gorgeous it is.

Hello. long tracked and finally appeared covers on our model. previously bought for children on the A50, poeticcases Revolution, satisfied. generally always bought griffintechnology (griffin case) I consider them the best. stopped buying Samsung flagships and apple products, and their lineup is not designed for other models. but once again, they are just eternal, who needs to buy do not think. bought otterbox many times, good covers but only the first year, they quickly self-decompose taking care of the environment, at my expense. as a result, he stopped buying expensive devices and for a long time looked for something decent from covers and so that children could take without fear. found poeticcases. good price. good defense. bought with this coupon "San Francisco" -10%. if it doesn’t work, look for another, there are other discounts. I have to buy all the children on three phones, so it makes sense. glad if someone helped. thank.
Sorry for my English. wanted to help.

A statement from XDA regarding the best overall Smartphone at this very moment.

I'm still wondering why so many users of XDA/buyers of a new device are so negative about the Apple devices. Of course, there are tons of Android manufacturers to choose from when you want to buy a new device, but there is only one Apple. Even XDA acknowledges now that the Apple iPhone 13 Pro is the best overall Smartphone you can buy. This is not only amazing, as XDA is in principal an Android forum, but it gives full credits to Apple's innovation technology. Read it all in this link and you will see that Apple is the winner in October 2021. Kindest regards, kuzibri

Rounded corners, no SD card, no spen and more limited customization options.
Picked up another new unlocked Note10+ 256/12gb ram for $800. Another $200 for a V30 card yields a 1.25tb dual drive handheld.
My heavy used 2 yo 10+ still looks and runs like new. One battery replacement so far. It's solid build and fast, stable performance influenced my decision.
Cases and screen protectors I already own.
Best of all, near zero* learning curve.
*a few bumps from Q vs Pie
Thanks, but nevertheless XDA is very clear in it's choice

You're welcome, however I'll remind you that time has yet to decide. Hold on to your candles...
I recall all those glowing Fold reviews of years ago... not.
Display shootout 10+ vs 13 Pro
Galaxy Note10+ OLED Display Technology Shoot-Out
iPhone 13 Pro Max OLED Display Technology Shoot-Out
www.displaymate.com
10+ 0.4 JNCD vs 13 Pro 0.5 JNCD, the 10+ more than holds it's own with color rendering.
Warning, reading those reviews may make you go blind
It's not the first time OP here on XDA is promoting Apple phones, wants to make us believe here that Apple phones are the better choice.
May be worthwhile to know:
An Apple iPhone 12 Pro got produced for 404$, it got / gets sold on Amazon for 950$.
IMO an insanely high profit margin.
My POV:
Apple iPhones are nothing more than a status symbol: either you can afford it or you can't.
hi @jwoegerbauer, thanks for your personal opinion. To state that Apple iPhones are nothing more than a status symbol, is IMPO a bit shortsighted. You cannot deny that it's also a very good, complete, reliable and secure smartphone which indeed costs a lot of money.
Regarding customizations, my homescreen looks exactly the same as on my former Android devices, so I do not see the difference. Apple's iOS14.5 and 15 became much more flexible with customizations, e.g. creating your own home display with widgets, etc. See added image.
Kind regards kuzibri
