Dear friends
Im a proud owner of a HTC TOUCH ENHACED or HTC ELFIN.
It would be possible to run android os on it?
Today i have watched a video where some guys runs in a touch screen phone a demo of android and this phone was a very slow one (ti omap 800, 64 ram and rom) and the os worked quite fine...
what dou you think about it?
cheers
with time yes now not likely i would keep an eye on

Im new to the pda world (ive seen the light over super mobile phones like the N95 I currently own), Ive just been given old xda IIi and can appreciate the benifit already.
Ive just watched the U-tube videos on Android and I can see the future, what an amazing OS, there throwing down the gautlet with the offer of 10 million quite an incentive.
this OS on my Himalaya... that would be ultimate WIN
Being a ridiculous n00b here, I'm wondering the same thing, have just ordered the Ted Baker (Gay Purple) Touch on Win Mo 6 - and have no experience of installing OSs etc. on mobiles - how likely/practical is it going to be for me to put something like Android on it, when the time comes?
Don't worry, i'm sure you'll find a good tutorial as sson as android becomes available for the touch or any other PDA.
Actually flashing isn't that difficult, as long as you take yours time to follow every step. Otherwise you'll brick your device
Hi,
im searchin for a new mobile... i wanted to buy it in the next 2 or 3 weeks, but there is a big problem:
i dunno what mobile would be the best for me :S
I am thinking about Windows mobile and Android ... The windows mobile phones i have used till now are quite nice, but no one really made me fully happy ... i always tried to port other interfaces and so on my lg ks20 and htc diamond.
i´ve seen that android has a quite nice interface with very good touch friendly options...
my windows mobile candidate would be of course the HTC Leo , what the android canditate would be is just open till now ...
I often browse in Wifi networks , like facebook, gmail, icq, etc. and therefor i am searching for an mobile with good browsing quality ... what camera there is ... i dont care about that crap ... just being comfortable in networks , chatting , sharing files and so on...
Hope you can help me ..
else any questions ? just post, i will directly answer.
See ya

//EDIT: I saw now some androids and i think nexus one and desire are very good but , what is the difference between them ?
Hi,
In term of memory management Windows mobile is far way better and for the interface also you have a lot of ui for windows mobile that are now very close to the Android style that you are searching for(if not even better).
I first bought an HTC Hero and was very happy the first two months but then it became so boring because of that lack of programs for it.
Now I am on a Leo and I can assure you that the moment you will put this device in your hand,you will be impressed by his speed.
Hurry up before the HD3
what about the htc desire ?

Here it is in a nutshell,
Android is the new kid on the block, rough around the edges, not fully functional yet, short on apps, in dire need of updates, but with the genuine potential to be an actual iPhone killer ( hence Apple vs HTC suit solely filed to slow down Android ). Android is on it's way, but not going to be great until, after whatever Android phone you buy now, is old and tired.
Windows Mobile is tried and true, tons of free apps, full bluetooth functionality, full Exchange and Office functionality, easy to sync, fully customizable to your needs, but it is what it is and will not get any better. Whatever you buy now, will not be upgradeable to Windows Phone 7 Series, and WP7S would appear to be that " make it or break it " for
Windows Mobile.
In short ? Android = up and coming, but not quite there yet. Windows Mobile = Already mature, but could be on the down slide soon.
If you are living for today, Windows Mobile hands down. Come this fall ? Phones with Android 3.0 ? Windows Phone 7 Series ? Who knows.
The Nexus One is Googles Android device made by HTC, The Desire " was " the Droid Eris, but has since been reassigned to the HTC branded Nexus One.
@die_Leuchte: Danke für die videos, ich hab mich entschieden / Thanks for the Videos , now ive decided what to take
@denco7: i know it is a nutshell, but if i see what android showed on mwc for example, it seems that it has millions of apps and is just now the iphone killer ^^
just crap what they are sayin ?

Add to that limited Bluetooth capabilities and ( important to me ) limited M$ Exchange and Office capabilities it just isn't mature enough yet to be a serious multitasking phone for business.
Don't get me wrong, I think Android is the future of Mobile OS' . WP7s is going to have to do a lot to convince me otherwise. And I am leaning towards an Android phone after Android 3.0 and WP7s come out, just from what I have seen of Android 1.5, 1.6, 2.0 and 2.1 on the Nexus, I just still don't think that it is capable yet.
so you think that if you would buy a smartphone now, you would choose winmo...
if you could buy it in 2 years , you would choose maybe android ... right?
Do not be fooled by a shiny interface just like I was.Besides what you are seeing on an Android phone is the Sense UI made by HTC.
If I am not wrong the Nexus one doesn't have the Sense UI.
I am not telling that Android(in reality Linux) is not a good phone.On the contrary you will find it with very useful applications but in some cases just like what happened to me you will not have a wide range of choice for the same application.
For Ex:If you want a Virtual Keyboard,because Android is still new you will have only 2 or 3 keyboards(maybe there is more now) to choose from but on Windows Mobile you have more than 15 competitors to choose from with years of experience in that field .
So,
Android is for you if you can be satisfied with what you have.
Windows is for you if you are thirsty of applications
Hope this helped
thirsty guy
well, i always need to get more apps to have another quit unuseful thing on my mobile, like wifi router or so
then i take the leo ^^
EDIT: @forcefield: i recieved an email , that swype for android is out your problem is solved now
Here is a quote from another german forum
there is no "better" one, some like winmo and some android more ...
before i buyed my new phone i thinked about the hd2 and the milestone... i choosed the milestone and i dont regret nothing !
looking at the amount of apps i would choose android because its just much easier and uncomplicated .. with more apps than windows mobile.
i dont know whats the difference between the desire and the nexus one , but you can wait until they get on the german market to see more information..
pointing on the battery strength maybe its disapointing but i have to be honest, its normally just between 1 and 3 days depending on how you use your phone.

i still think that windows mobile has more apps.. but the problem is , they are just widespread in the www.
battery: an issue what wont be solved in 500 years.

another question ... i you would have the choice between touch pro 2 aka rhodium and hd 2 aka leo , which one would you take ?
with reasons please =) ...

I'm suprised that no one has brought this up, but, if you got a Windows phone, don't you always have the option of running Android on it? I don't think it works the other way around. Please, PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong.

Android proted to WM is still a port. It runs within WM and some of the features of Android don't work and some of the features of the phone won't work with the Android port. It will never be as fast or as smooth as Android running natively.

I would take the Leo, faster processor, bigger more beautiful display, more ram. The only plus for the Rhodium is the slide out keyboard.
But just remember that neither phone is going to be upgradable to Windows Phone 7 Series.
of course take the LEO!!!
I own Touch Diamond 2 (which is basically like TP2 without the slide out keyboard) and it's really great and everything. But then I also have access to Samsung Omnia II with 800 Mhz CPU and it's running so much faster and more smoothy. And the big display is insane!! Then go figure because HD2 even comes with 1 GHz!!!! IMO it would be stupid to buy the OLD TP2 with only 528 Mhz.....

No, there's no fully working Android version for any WM phone. They all have bugs and stuff not working.
Hello, I have a question. I have an opportunity to buy tattoo or touch 2 for cheap price (so no other phones is an opportunity)
Which is better? As far as I checked - only difference is OS, windows mobile 6.5 vs android 1.6, so the question - which OS is better?
So far I heard:
Windows mobile 6.5:
+ Have better multi tasking
+ More apps ready, easier to find cracked apps
- Little slower
Android 1.6:
+ More friendly interface
+ Faster
+ Uses mostly freeware
- Not so easy to find apps
Anyone can give some other pluses or minuses for these OS? So I can decide?
Heard that touch2 can have dual OS, but then android doesnt work 100%?
Welcome to forums
pdadb.net will give you smoe valuable info regarding your comparative
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer
Tnx about link, but I know all info about these (exept one thing, whats "Built-in accelerometer"? My eng isnt that good, it thing that, if u rotate ur phone, the window will switch to landscape/portrait ?)
I want more compare of the OS for these... Which is better, whats pluses and minuses ...
i own HTC Mega (touch2) , well , for 1 week from the making of HSPL we could choose between 3 custom ROMs ;]] more are starting to come out ... if u can take the two phones for 10-15 mins , surf everything , then u can decide best ! although , when i ordered my phone as soon as i saw WinMo6.5 it was no doubt that this was mine ;]] actually i've never had any HTC phone before and didnt know what to expect whatever u choose u wont be dissapointed
I touched tattoo for about 3min, just had no clue what to check out... Previus phone was old nokia 6233...
Saw touchscreen, some icons etc, but I just want ppl to write whats better in these two OS, so I can choose...
I cant say that I want to take touch2 cos of wm6.5 cos Im not fan of win, I rather think about tattoo cos android is new and good OS...
Hi Guys,
I've been reading the posts in the forum and I realized that, if anybody can help me with this dilemma, it's YOU guys !
I want to buy a new phone and I want it to be an Android Smartphone... Everything OK so far... I "window shopped" a bit and considering the limited options that are available in my country, I finally decided that the best options, price/performance wise, are the Motorola Milestone A853 and the Motorola Defy.
Now I've been reading about them for the past month, about the hardware, what are the advantages and disadvantages of both phones, I saw numerous reviews for both phones and read everything there is to read about the processors and GPU's in both phones but now I want to read a personal opinion on both phones, why should I choose one over the other and why...
I really hope that you guys can help me with this !
Now I imagine that some of you guys will say that none of them are that great because of the processor, or the Android version or the fact that none of them might be getting the Gingerbread update, so, If possible, I would appreciate if you could leave all of that aside and express your opinion related to these 2 phone as they are right now, with no updates or hacks and if possible, share YOUR experience with them as well.
Of course, you will be asking me what I want to use the phone for, well... I would like to... Ummm... use it as a ... phone, browse the web and be able play some 3D games (e.g.: Polarbit Games, Gameloft HD games, Quake etc.) without much lag (preferably with NO lag at all ).
Please HELP !!!
Defy is new. Milestone is pretty old.
Defy has 512mb ram
Milestone has 256mb ramb
Defy's processor is 200mhz faster .. and made by Texas Instruments.
Should be more economical on battery life as well.
Moreover, the Defy comes with a bigger battery. 1540 vs 1400.
Defy should be less laggy and more likely to get more android updates. Dont know about the community support though. Would advise you to go check in the Milestone android development forum and see how active those guys are. The support for that phone basically depends on them now.
Hello
I know, this topic is not so new but i wouldn't create the new one.
Can someone write more about those two phones? In march I gone get a new phone from the operator and I have to choose between Milestone and Defy. I know, Defy's newer and has a little bit better hardware but what about the future development? Here in Poland Defy's not so popular as the Milestone. BTW Defy's a little bit cheaper than Milestone in my operator What else? Milestone's getting Froyo in a few "days". Defy's still on eclair, and who knows how about the future...
The most important what I need is:
- smooth UI
- smooth games
- smooth web browsing
- big screen and good resolution (both the same)
- official updates and unofficial development
Please help!
hi i am stuck with the same dilemma i dont no which phone to get.
I bought milestone yesterday.U won't regret...it's a lot better than defy ,even with all the differences between defy and milestone,milestone is way cooler at looks than defy as a phone,as updates and gaming(because of the keyboard)
I think Milestone is better based on community support, its easy to find custom ROMs for what you need..
Hi. I own HTC Touch Pro T7272, i DID read the sticky, but I am still confused (may be because of my bad english). I have WM 6.5.3 right now, bit it's more and more laggy. I found out, that Android could be installed ony my device? If yes, would it be faster then WM 6.5? My father has Android and I like it more. If you would be so nice and post here link with guide where download and how to install Android into my phone? Thank you
Right now, I'd stick with winmo. If you find winmo is laggy, then installing Android is not the answer. I like it as a means to play around with but a part from that, nothing else seems to really fascinate me about Android, yet. Yeah, you can brag that you are running an OS other than what comes natively but over-all development is really slow for our device at the moment. If you like Android, my best suggestion is to get an Android native device. I'm sure this isn't the answer you were looking for but just thought I'd share my expereince with running Android on an older device.
for me i think android for touch pro is still have many bugs now. I have try to install froyo fx06 bundle, for the first time look i think it works good then windows but after a day i found that it drain battery, and sometimes wifi error and i need to restart my phone back to get it work, and the real problem is sometimes it's freeze. maybe we just need to wait a little while for someone release the new version.
p/s sorry if my english not good enough
