N900 or HD2?

Hi all...
Can anyone offer suggestions here?
I have an N900 (with 48GB of memory)... I used to own an HD2 but sold it as it had a dead pixel and that kind of thing bugs me.
I am in the situation where I can swap my N900 for a nice new HD2.
What to do? What will be better long term, Win7Phone ROMs coming to HD2? MeeGo to N900?
I love the browsing abilities of the N900, but lack of notifications and apps designed for the native screen size.
I love the HUGE screen on the HD2, like the slim design, but it lacks the built in memory, so would need to buy a 32GB microSD when it comes out. Is there a Spotify client?
Looking to do the deal tomorrow so your thoughts would be appreciated.
Paul.

you can use myspot as a spotify client on the HD2 and is so so so so much faster with it's 1GHz processor.

OK sounds good... I'm guessing it wouldn't be as "pretty" as the official Android and iPhone apps?
And is it free?

Of course Leo!!
WM OS above any Nokia OS

how about a desire?...with same/better specs than hd2,more friendly OS and android 2.2 coming (which is by the way 2-5 times faster than the current version) i personally think those two don't stand a chance...
and of course nokia sucks...imo
edit: oh sorry i missed the sentence when you said that only those two are on table....i personally don't prefer nokia at all,especially not over htc...especially the one with that caliber

HD2 if only for the capacitive screen.

Stick with HTC and gain all the valued info of XDA

Stuck with the N900.
I couldn't sacrifice the drop in storage as I carry all my music on my device, along with movies and audiobooks with space to spare.

I'm sorry marduk.
But how can I play all my music and videos without compromise on the move with an HD2?

N900 if u want/expect for MeeGo. N900 wins too in Games, don´t in number but in potential. What is means? Now with PR 1.2, n900 uses the QT 4.6, the same as the new Symbian ^3. So, for developers its easy port games that make in Symbian to Maemo. For now it´s promise 10 games, so far but when N8 comes may be this number goes high. Android comes (by community) to N900, as well its possible (better at the moment than HTC HD2).
HTC HD2, if u want a big and capacitive screen and the possibility to put a lot of ROMs on it, to turns your experience more personal. But WinMO doesn´t provide nothing to use this hardware... And MS, does **** with WinMO 7 so, for me it´s a very bad business.
If u need help with Maemo i´m here, u are don´t alone.

Thanks viperbruno.
I think I'll be a lot more happy when they actually relaunch the OVI store for the N900 with Angry Birds and Zen Bound etc... This was meant to happen yesterday but still waiting!!
I guess I just miss the gorgeous display and the joy of watching videos and reading texts on the HD2. I wish they made 32+GB microSD cards.

OK... back on the idea of changing my N900 to an HD2 / Nexus One. That is my current option.
What are your thoughts on if / when Windows Phone 7 or Android coming to the HD2 versus MeeGo coming to the N900?

Official what coming:
HTC HD2 - nothing
Nokia n900 - Meego as well (September the final version, beta at July) but without any support from Nokia. Better that nothing.
Unofficial:
HTC HD2 - XDA could make WinMO 7 for with but don't expect a lot from it, it's just my opinion...
Nokia N900 - Could be everything and nothing at the same time, but I have see on Internet that Nokia will turn off Symbian from nseries, and put Meego on it, so I think that is possible to expect a lot from it. To know: Nokia N8 is the last model (from nseries) with Symbian.
My suggestion: Wait a little. HTC will realise new "Pro" models - rumor: a HTC HD2 pro edition - Nokia haves something to say in Augustus (with Symbian ^3 and QT 4.6, it turns easy to port apps to Maemo)...

PS3 Jailbreak soon ported to Android...

PSgroove Android port.
I'm itching to see this in action.

Aha! This'll be handy indeed! Thanks for the link!

There is a version voor the N900 now, hope someone can make an android port:

see the video

apperently the iphone one is almost done and yet no one has started on the x10 yet

Iphone & pod will only work on linux as the link above showed..
Plus.. ain't x10 Android too? Also using the Snapdragon like N1 & Co.. so why wouldn't it work on the x10? I thought the problems where just porting to Samsung devices as they're different?

Yeahyippie yeha!

This is great! Hope they finish it soon. I've been waiting forever for homebrew on ps3!

i think you're like 3 months behind on this one.. this hole has been fixed in new ps3 updates, so you might only use this on selected models if you keep it off internet and dont want to use 3D bluray or other new functions..

I simply dont understand this Leo - I have seen it run WP7 - not very impressive TBH - it doesnt run smooth at all.
Is Android fully functional?
I would never say that the screens that great - not the amoled screens you get now - massive difference.
Also - why would you want to be running/switching between multiple OSs - I dont know of anybody who would do that on a "normal" bases - fine to test and fool around, but seriously... not practical at all.

Either the Nokia N8 or the HD2, if the latter will have dual-boot WM6.5 and WP7 with full support for the latter.
Why the Nokia N8? Because of the camera and the call recording capabilities (which I really want), in which it's clearly better than even the iPhone 4. Also, it's also stated to have much better battery life.

Dont think the HD2 will have full support - its not officially supported, so there will always be some thing wrong - I reckon slower performance.
Nokia N8 - hardware - amazing - Software - depressing. No wonder they are moving to meego

Yeah, the N8 has pretty bad third-party software support. But I don't want to use it as a main mobile device - after all, I have all the iOS goodies (iPad, iPod Touch 4G, soon the iPhone 4; of them, I take the iPad to everywhere) to e.g. read books, watch movies, play games and would only want the N8 for an excellent cameraphone, which also records calls.

You would be in the minority on the Leo/HD2. Samsung has the Super Amoled screen and that is it. The HD2 is great as well.
I have both the G2 and HD2. I am do dual boot and it is easy because both my email accounts(Gmail and Exchange) refresh with what ever is running. Android is not sluggish on the HD2. Sluggish doesn't get quadrant scores like the ones below.

Currently Omnia i900 WinMo 6.5
Next HD2 WinDroid

I'm a heavy Google Voice user, so it's hard to consider other platforms, since Android has the best GV integration into the phone's main functions, such as dialing, sending SMS, etc. I would consider iOS, WP7, or WebOS if they had the same GV experience as Android.

Why would i bother going to iOS when apple sucks anyway?

New Android handheld gaming console

The Yinlips YDP-G18 is probably the cheapest Android device you can find with dedicated game controls. It would be cool if someone could cook up an updated English language ROM for it.
Official site:
http://www.yinlips.com/en/productdetail.asp?ID=220
Where to buy:

Review (with lots of photos):

Video showing it emulate N64 and PSX games:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00C6RT-HawU

Hello,
This is a very promising console, we are currently testing and we must admit that this console is doing pretty well ... It's just a few thoughtful developers to take advantage of the machine maximum.
Go on google and write "CAANOO forumactif" to see the test!
The root is effective and the market is available.
Sorry for my poor english, i'm french

They already rooted it and installed android market on it. IMHO, it should get its own section. Having stripped down froyo or gb roms on it could further improve performance and battery life.
If I had the coin, I'd buy it right away. It's priced at $125 with free shipping. And it's the projection of my most beautiful dreams. Except for the two cameras it has.

It's actually a good product that can have enormous potential. Its biggest flaw is its current autonomy should be 3 hours with Wi-Fi enabled.
The screen is resistive, but responds well. It allows running N64 and PSX games fairly easily and without overclock.
I would love to also see a section for Android handheld and quickly see the arrival of Roms Customs and modified kernels.
For those who want to take the tests, the French member of the community are being Caanoo get them to see what she has in the stomach. I'm happy to keep you informed of the various tests that we will achieve.

I'm also getting one of these, looks promising with some tweaks or a new custom rom will be much better

Only 3 hr battery life? You'd think they'd be able to get more in there. But cool concept nonetheless.

Those who want to see the handheld running you can go see the videos that were made ​​by @ BAFelton at: Sorry but i can't link URL, so Go on Youtube and search BAFelton61
It gives a good idea of ​​what is possible.
Also, @ qbertaddict also examines the machine

Will get back to you almost certainly after the new year. Ordered it yesterday and they announced 15-20 business days until arrival

Yinlips has announced the update 2.3 (gingerbread) on the G18. This is good news to know that there is a follow-up from the manufacturer!

k0en, here too ?
Yeah i'm follow up this awesome device too, and still check what is possible to do with .... Christmas is coming...

From what I can see in the videos, it's Chinese by default but can be changed to English. Since it's an Android device, in theory you would eventually be able to cook custom roms for this thing.

This is a steal, even though the touchscreen is resistive the specs are very good.
My interests are in the details, though: Does the analog stick work as a mouse in android? How is the screen quality with brightness and color? How easily can ROMs be customized?
If these things met with satisfaction I would buy today.

[Q] Can I Install Amdroid into my Nokia Lumia 710 - Windows 7.5 Mango

Hi,
I am completely frustrated from my Window 7.5 Mango.
I was using Android, having lots of apps in market/rooting etc. As compare to Android, Mango is nothing
Could anybody guide me to install Android into my Nokia Lumia 710

So can i install Windows 6.5 into Mango?
Thanks for ur reply,,,
I was having many apps & cracks for window 6.5. So is it possible to install Win 6.5 into my mobile -Lumia 710 ?
My main motive is to install apps/game into my mobile, but in windows market place I am not finding good apps for free (not even paid)

Actually... get in touch with the other guy who wants to put WP 7 on his Inspire 4G and switch devices.

Actually just wait a while, I think I heard some where that DFT is working on a ROM for 2nd gen devices. Then you will be fully unlocked and able to customize and even have Bluetooth file transfer and so on.

2nd gen HTC's not Nokia sadly. The only real solution is if you want a phone that has Android on it buy an Android phone. If you want a phone that has iOS on it buy an iPhone. If you want something thay you can hack the hell out of buy an HD2. Or you can be like me and do all of the above

i am also looking for similar solution...unfortunately right now there is no android solution....the most recent progress is interior unlocked the phone, similar to the rooting concept. Microsft and Nokia are extremely picky about allowing changes.

Three questions:
1. If you wanted Android, why the heck did you buy a Windows phone?
2. If you already know that people haven't yet ported Android to the Lumia 710, why did you ask? That thread talks about the progress toward doing this, and says it doesn't work yet.
3. Why are you posting a device-specific question in the general WP7 Q&A forum? I mean, you linked to the exact Q&A thread relevant to your question. You could also check the Lumia 800 (typically also includes 710 since they are almost identical internally) Development sub-forum, and read the unlock/NAND-access thread there...

frustrating for him is i think the approach, he purchased a wp7 but want android on it. that's funny, you dont buy a golf cab to race against an sports car. you buy a sports car not a comparison with that car to wp7
the second thing. he want maybe to try android, because of the hacking abilities and customization and bla bla... and in the end everyone, and believe me everyone switches to the stock things that you have on your phone since the first day. that's the same with nokia and symbian, eveyone of us wanted a cool background picture, "cool" sounds, gimicks, but in the end nokia had a very good interface and backgrounds and sounds. he purchased now a nokia lumia 710 for which people sit many weeks to think of the variety of sounds and lockscreen so that it suites all of us. and after 100 background i use now the stock ones... the same is with custom accent color, i used 150 different to come to the stock ones, which suites definitely the best! thats why microsoft said 9 10 accent are enough because we get in the end wp8

Calm down, he was just trying to help.

For the record, WP isn't better than wm, two different devices for two different jobs, MS may have dumped one of them but I can state without doubt that WM is alive and kicking in the business world and will be for some time to come yet I bet the other thing to remember is that wm development kickstarted android, when droid took off all the devs split their focus, I wouldn't bank on their ever being a new " hd2 " ever again
