I have a playbook and would recommend the nova over it as its cheaper and will run all android apps, the playbook emulates android (not all features of android work) and is a great tablet but is about fifty pounds dearer for similar specs and more apps.

What is fire fennec and where do I get it?
Since Opera Mobile is not your first choice, though I really like it, Dolphin HD would be my second. Depending on the day I sometimes prefer it.
I don't know if either. Is hardware accelerated though. Both are fast.

this thread actually made me do a little bit of research not many browsers are hardware accelerated at all because it takes good amount more work on developers side.
It would be nice too see hardware accelerated advertised in market on some browsers but not the case.. I think im going to start a favorite browser thread see what a lot of you are using

[Q]HML on AOSP

My question is at the end of this post.
Okay so I have a PS3 dual shock controller and I have it synced with my phone via Six axis(app from Android Market). I am now able to play game emulators quite comfortably with my fingers not in the way anymore. But then i had an idea to hook up my phone up to my HDTV, so I did via HML but it didn't work. I jumped on my computer and did a little bit of research and I found something that said that AOSP roms do not support HML which sucks because the Six axis app does not support most HTC roms and the Sensation is one of them.
Right now I am on CM7 alpha 10 and i was wondering if it was possible to get MHL support on AOSP roms?

Thank you for giving me an answer. I was sure HDMI was supported but then I realized I obviously do not have an HDMI port.

hey there, i'm looking for a new phone, i only want to spend in between €100/€210, are there any good smartphones in that price range, i was thinking about the HTC HD2, but i dont know if thats a good choice, and i have the galaxy s1.
thanks for your time

What do you want in the phone?
Camera, front facing? CPU? Screen size? Good development? Etc...
Mainly, I'm also wondering off contract or on contract... and new or used?
The HD2 is not a bump specs wise from your Galaxy S, but it has amazing development. It can run WM6.5, WP7, Android 4.0, MeeGo, and something else too I forgot.

i want something that has a bigger screen, and camera doenst bother me that much, i never take picrures
i really want a faster phone with more ram, or a dual core. the reason for the HD2 was the big screen and the huge development for it

Ok then I'll warn you, the HD2 is not that much faster.
I still need to know if you mind buying a used phone, and what country you live in.
Sent from my MB508 using xda premium
i live in the netherlands, and i dont mind buying a used phone, if it works and everything is fine, its good , do you have any more suggestions?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
OK well... I don't know much about availability of phones in countries outside the US... but there are definitely some worthy upgrades in that range (in USD its 122-250).
I can offer a big list of used phones in that price range, but I don't know if the sellers on eBay ship to the Netherlands. Hmm.
Sent from my MB508 using xda premium
there are loads of phones here, but not second handed, so theyre all really expensive, and i could get one from ebay :3
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Here are the phones in that price range, used on eBay. The problem is, I don't know about availability in the Netherlands.
Motorola Atrix 4G
Motorola Atrix 2
Samsung Captivate Glide
LG Thrill 4G
LG G2X (Optimus 2X)
LG Nitro HD
HTC Sensation
HTC Mytouch 4G Slide
And the single core phones that are upgrades from the Galaxy S
HTC Inspire 4G (Desire HD)
Samsung Infuse 4G
I also went onto the eBay app using the Netherlands country code, and I found some used GS2s slightly above €210, but they still had an hour or so on them so they were bound to go higher.

The HTC HD2 is great if you are interested in ROMs, dual booting, modding, etc. Otherwise, the Sensation is the best overall in that price range. The HTC HD2 will last at least a year due to the huge dev community but the Sensation is vastly better on specs.
Get the galaxy s3. It is an amazing phone. I loved my gs2. And this is like a hdtv compared to a b&w white one. I love all the features and the screen size. Check it out when u have time
