[Q] Looking for phone to fit specs.

I've been looking for a new phone to replace my TyTn II.
Specs I'm looking for,
1GHz Snapdragon or equilviant.
micro-SD memory expansion
Slide-Out keyboard with touch screen
HSPA 850/1900
GSM 850/900/1900/2100 - Prefer Quad band HSPA, but I have not seen any phones that offer this yet
Windows Mobile 6.1+ Preferably an official upgrade to 7.
The Sony X1 and X2 are close, along with the HTC Touch Pro2...
Does anybody know of a phone that fits this?
Thanks for your time,
Kevin

[Q] Which phone to upgrade from HTC Desire?

I kinda want some with better now and I've found four phones that I can possibly upgrade to:
1. Samsung Galaxy S (i9000)
The Super Amoled and Hummingbird are the selling points. Cheap feeling plasticky body though and no camera flash. 4" is a good size. About USD 650 / HKD 5000
2. HTC Desire HD
Massive beast with fast fast hardware. I believe this is the fastest phone released to date with the second gen snapdragon and 768 mb of ram. 8mp camera with flash. About USD 675 / HKD 5200
3. Dell Venue
Just released in Hong Kong - first country in the world to have it...guess where I live
1GHz Snapdragon, 512mb ram, 8MP with flash, plastic body with aluminum edges, 4.1" Very good price for the spec....I know judging a product by the brand isnt very good, but Dell isnt a phone brand...dunno if they are good. About USD 514 / HKD 3999
http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/23/dell-venue-launched-in-hong-kong-we-go-hands-on/
4. Google Nexus S
Not out yet in Hong Kong...
Similar to Galaxy but with a better -looking- body. Exact rom version doesnt really matter to me as long it has the ability to flash a new rom, and since the Galaxy has 2.3 builds and they will be usable by the time the Nexus is released, it isnt really a selling point.
On the plus side, you can get virtually ANY phone contract-less including all of the above and more and also the fourth version of the unmentionable device.

Out of those Nexus S but I would wait until new year and go for a dual core phone instead. That way you are ay least investing in some better technology.

5.9" IPS display 1080p 377ppi
Snapdragon 600 1.7GHz x4 with Adreno 320
2GB ram
either 16GB or 32GB internal memory with microSD slot
unique feature, which, is flip camera with 13MP with dual flash (LED)
also, back cover touch (acts as scroll, etc)
another from OPPO,
Oppo N3 (newer ver of N1)
Snapdragon 801 2.3GHz x4
Adreno 330
32GB internal memory with microSD slot
unique feature, which is much more enhance camera, 16MP with OmniVision tech, same 2 led flash

I'm very excited for about this phone. I hope there will be nice software development for it.

Definitely interested in the Plus and Pro versions of this device.
I've been using a Huawei Mate 7 for nearly a year now and I'm fine with the size factor of it, and I think I'd like the even larger size of the Phab 2. I can't wait to see some tests on the finished product and some camera samples. :fingers-crossed:

Good to know that it does have NFC, GsmArena doesn't have NFC listed for it, but not having USB OTG is a bummer. I also wonder if it has MHL and WiFi Direct.

I just signed up for when its going to be released, this might be my next new phone.

I would love it if this phone had CDMA compatibility. I'm stuck on Verizon in my area, so once again I'm disappointed...

I don't like it either. But unfortunately CDMA only takes up 15% of the market (mostly North America) while the GSM standard takes up 85% of the market share. So if I were a smartphone manufacturer, unless I had an exclusive contract with Verizon or Sprint, I'd put all my energy towards making my device compatible with the most broadly used standard.
CDMA is starting to make some inroads in other countries, so maybe that will spur more device manufacturers to include the CDMA frequencies in future phones.

Thanks for the insight Clarkson. I didn't realize that there was such a big difference, but I knew there was one. This may be extremely naive, but doesn't it seem like they could just include CDMA radios and charge an extra $20 or something? I have a Nexus 6P that I'm extremely happy with right now, but I'm always on the lookout for my next phone. This one is unlocked and I activated it on Verizon, so I know they can do it!

Phone doesn't have NFC I posted this on Lenovo site and got answer from "Lenovo"
Does it have NFC ?

No it does not

Champagne Gold?
Any word on when champagne gold will be available? If I'm spending $500, why not be happy with the color?
The other disappointment for me is the micro USB. I suppose I can compromise on the lack of USB-C but I've been spoiled.
I currently use a ZTE Zmax Pro, a quick pick up after returning the Note 7. I discovered that I loved the 6-inch screen. Why not go for a 6.5 with higher screen resolution?
The camera and battery of the Phab 2 pro are much better. I'm a big OneNote stylus user so the screen real estate is more attractive to me than Tango.

I am glad the US is finally getting a phone this size with decent specs. I used to have the Z Ultra back in the past but their camera was dismal and had no flash but it was still a beast. I see the Phab 2 Pro as it's replacement for me as far as size, camera, screen resolution and full LTE support. I think Sony dropped the ball big time by not having a follow-up to the Z Ultra....I am currently using the Mate 8 but I have used the Mi Max and Honor Note 8 this year as well but the Mate 8 won me over and after I get this Phab 2 Pro..I will not get another phone for awhile

Z Ultra also had bezel from hell. Its touch screen eventually stopped working on me. I had the GPE.

4G LTE Verizon works

This phone works on Verizon 4G

Does this phone get calls over VoLTE or drop to 3G like the Phab 2?
01/26/17 EDIT: I had to go buy one to find out for myself... YES this device uses VoLTE (HD) For Calls.

BATTERY Non-removable Li-Po 3000mAh battery

Hi, I`m just ordered this one I`m also don`t know a really difference between H955 but it has 3GB ram and 32GB ROM so its perfect for me, only one thing what I have to shared I paid 25$ for courier extra and seller sent it via Singapore post so after all its no need to pay extra its waist of money! after all I will open a dispute to get back that 25$ but before I have to check the phone but after all its good price 189$ for that phone instead of some pc of crap Chinese mobile phones for 200$ with MTK cpu.

F510 is 2GB RAM only.

ok, is any proof of that? , F510 comes only with 2gb ram?, or could be variations with 2gb or 3 gb ram, and 16 gb or 32 gb memory ? I will only buy one with 3gb ram. Many thanks.

F510 has 2gb DDR4 ram the 3gb ram variants only comes with DDR3. Mine is 2gb ram

I own a F510 32GB. Comes with 2GB RAM. I cannot confirm whether it is DDR3 or DDR4.

Ok great, is there anyone who got F510 with 3gb ram? or which Lg g flex 2 will come with 3 gb ram? but need to be able have 4G with O2 in UK?

I think the only version that has 3GB RAM is the At&t H950. I think it is probably not better than the 2GB RAM because of not getting Marshmallow and having more bloatware. But I don't have the phones so can't speak from experience. There was a thread about the 3GB vs 2GB versions. In the end I am assuming that LG optimized Marshmallow to work better with the SOC and RAM management. IMO that is better having than 1 extra RAM but a poorly optimized OS. I think I will go with the H955 if I can find one.

Hi, ok I received my F510S from ebay, phone has 2GB not 3GB Ram, I don`t know how I can check if it is DDR4 or DDR3 but phone upgraded via OTA to ndroid 6.0.1 without any problems , by atantutu benchmark shows 77219 points so I`m impressed especially I had before ZTE Nubia Z9 Max with same CPU SD810 ant it has 55769 points !!! , google store works without any modification LTE was working without any Problem in Poland on PLAY Network and Orange to, here at The Netherlands on KPN sometimes works sometimes its only 3G, but I`m very happy from this phone for 188$ for a new phone and its not some cheap made Chinese

My g flex 2 with 2 g ram model h959 its lddr4 and the g flex 2 with 3 g ram is lddr3 its slower than lddr4 half
