hi, i was thinking of getting non wm phone but just not sure what to get. i love my kaiser but going out/gym or whatever..sometimes i feel like something can happen to it etc. so i would like to get a 2nd phone i could use with no fear of scratching it and so on..but of course i want it to be functional and good email client
cheers,
cudo
I use Nokia N75
i use my cute old SonyEricsson P910i as a backup.
it's still has smartphone capabilities, but is also small, user friendly, and good for many other things as well...
Nokia 7710 and Nokia N70
iPhone as my primary and have been using the Motorola V9 Razr2 (unix based) .
HTC Oxygen as primary phone
Nokia N95 as the secondary one
i use a nokia 1100 just for backup!
I might use my 'old' iMate SPL as 'nightlife' phone. Or I'll buy a Motorola F3 'cause its the 2nd coolest phone ever. (First is my main; the Kaiser.)
BTW, with the latest, just-released V20 ROM version, the Nokia N95-1 started to fly. It's ****ING good, HIGHLY recommended!
I use my Touch for daily use, and a Samsung E900 for times that there is a chance my phone could be killed (A night out drinking for example) The bunch is working with duo SIM so I dont have to switch a SIM between the two.
On a rare occasion I use my Universal just for the sake of ppl being amazed by its size
Primary - HTC Elf
Secondary - ATOM
Backup - Nokia 9300i
There is only one 2nd phone (;
Nokia 8850!

I already have the HTC TP since almost 2 weeks and I'm quite happy with the HTC Touch pro so far .
However I have been a SONY Ericsson P Series user since SE ever came up with the P800 many years ago. After the P990i I thought I'd migrate to WM and I bought myself a Fujitsu Siemens T830 , I used it for a month and I realised that it's too difficult to use with one hand so I bought myself the new SE P1i by then.
After using the HTC Touch Pro for about 10 days, I still think my current Sony Eriscsson P1 is still much better when it comes to one hand operation and ease of executing things quicker than a WM based device.
Today I received a message from Clove.co.uk that they will be starting to ship the new awaited SE X1 on October 6th and asking me if I want one too..
So I was wondering if I should buy also the new SE X1 since it's a Sony Ericsson phone and this phone will supersede the SE P1i and I was hoping that they will somehow implemet the succesful points on the P1 into the X1.
Do you guys thing that X1 is a better phıne than the HTC Touch Pro and if yes why ? I compared the specs basically two phones have identical specs.
Which one would you buy ? Do you think that I should hang on to HTC TP until WM 7 is out ?
I'm open to suggestions
thanks
P.S. If I buy the SE X1 , I will give my TP to my wife . If I don't like the X1 she gets to keep the X1
Well, the Sony has most of what the HTC TP has (not sure about GSensor) but also has 800 X 480 pixels and a larger screen.
If I didn't already buy the HTC TP I would go for the Sony.
yeah if i end up not getting 3g on my TP then i will look to sell and get the X1 if it can.

Doesn't have a G-sensor, but it does have a 3.5mm headphone jack and a bigger screen... The specs look better (384MB RAM!), but the interface is a memory whore so the performance may not be so much better than the Touch Pro. Keyboard on the Touch Pro is better as well.
The sony is out next week! I just received an email from clove.com. I thought it was not due out this fast?!

The X1 has a ATI Graphics Accelerator so everything sould be smooth - and it is if you check the youtube videos.
Damn. I only had my HTC Touch Pro for a week and now I need to sell!
The X1 is also much larger than the TP - this might be a major for some people.
Yea, been watching the videos. Its also a brick. Many metal parts although I hear its built real nice thou. Very sturdy... hmmmm

If you were correct I'd agree, but I just saw a video of a very recent version where they rotated on the panel interface, and the panels skipped and lagged quite a bit going from portrait to landscape... So no, it's not smooth. It's in retail packaging, which I thought was odd.
Edit: Here ya go, this was just posted 4 days ago.

That's one thing I love about it, I like heavy phones and I like metal. It just makes it feel more well-built, even if you know in your heart HTC had their hands on it.
Both Phones have Pro's compared to each other.
Rather than just ordering one, maybe I should test one X1 to decide.
But I heard WM 7.0 is on the way at 2009 , TP and X1 probably cam be rom updated ?
Don't forget: SE announced that this will be their last (WM?) phone. So I doubt that they will give much support in the future.

Nobody knows at this point, I'm assuming so based on the track record of Windows Mobile. It's expected to be late 2009 before the release, so I wouldn't worry about that just yet.

That's the great part, they won't give support to windows-mobile specific features, but the panel interface SDK could be universal. Could be... We'll see if they carry that on over to other devices.

I thought I heard it the other way around as UIQ is having hard time and SE will not continue on P series because of that.....
@Black93300ZX
So let's put WM 7.0 aside for the time being, thanks
I was in doubt too, but eventually went for the TP because even tough a bigger screen is nice, it will probably be incompatible with some apps, i also thought it would be more expensive (it is) and i don't like the panel interface that much.
Another big thing is the community: i guess there is a lot more support for for the Diamond/TP on this forum then for the X1.
Was also doubting between there two. Went for the pro since it was out earlier, I thought the X1 would be more expensive, I liked the looks of the pro more, odd screensize (incompatibilities?), and some more...
But now I'm doubting again to maybe go for the X1 afterall (and sell the pro). Main reasons being the average camera, perhaps SE can make something more out of it, the gps problems and the fact the keyboard reacts sluggish or not at all sometimes (mainly with wifi on).
But as long as no reviews are out, or the phone itself it's too early to make decisions...
Hi,
I might change to the X1, if it had GPS, but it is no option for me without internal GPS. Or am I wrong, does it have GPS?
S.
Sorry for the repetition, could not delete it.

Yes it has a A-GPS , same as the Touch Pro.
I still can't decide if I should also buy the X1 ......or not ???

Been using TP for 3-4 weeks now. Will look out for user experience for X1 (hopefully in Xda-developers too) instead of just reviews. If have good experience from users, will get one and give TP to me wife
Does anyone know when HTC will be releasing a snapdragon powered device? My upgrade is due soon and I would love to stick with HTC, but the Toshiba TGO1 has been picked up by Orange in the UK and the specs just look mouthwatering, so right now I am drooling over that. I found a few rumours of HTC releasing snapdragon devices later this year but possibly android powered.
Mmm...
I´m sure I have saw something about this before:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=495830&highlight=snapdragon
or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517826&highlight=snapdragon
No specific date is mentioned but if you see the Tosh and HTC roadmaps beginings of next year probably we will see something about it...
Thanks for the interesting links.
Not soon enough...htc needs to get off there big duff!
If you do need Snapdragon (I would - I've tested the TG01 back in February and LOVED the speed), currrently, the Toshi TG01 is the only way to go.
I don't think HTC will release a phone with it in the near future (that is, before next year).
was just looking up new phones, also trying to stick to htc, mainly because of this site
found this:
http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1783&c=htc_firestone_100
htc Firestone... apparently sporting a snapdragon QSD8250, though clocked at 600MHz...

How was it for size and build quality? You get to play with all the nice toys! Oh and what did you think of the screen? I know it is huge but the hype claims that it incorpoates all tosh's TV manufactuing skills and that it sets a new standard.
All the up comming snapdragon devices look like a big step for win mo, I hope it pans out well with all the proper drivers and an OS worthy of the device spec.
One worry about the TGO1 is will cooked roms be available? Stock roms are just so unsatisfying!
Have a look into one of the great thread/reports from meneysys, there is one regarding his experience on TG0.
Well as TG0 is not an HTC build I can hardly to see cooked ROM´s here...
I really hope next year HTC will launch somethin for 2010!
Sorry double post please delete
id love to know the reason behind the BUT POSSIBLY ANDROID POWERED, android is going to take over the mobile market with 18 different devices coming out this year alone

It was HUGE. I,personally, wouldn't buy it as it's still resistive. TG02 (to be released later this year), on the other hand, is stated to have a capacitive screen - THAT may become my best WinMo friend and may be able to even beat my iPhone when it comes to Web browsing.

Will TGO2 recognise a stylus though? I suppose it just won't need one but so many win mo apps still need a stylus for some things.
Any way now to go and read through some of Menneisyys's articles.

I don't think so. Nevertheless, on even my 3.6" iPhone the capacitive touchscreen is, in general, VERY exact. On the considerably larger (IIRC) 4.1" screen of the TG02, I don't think you'll ever need it. Or, hopefully, the Toshi engineers come up with some kind of e.g. 2x or 4x (hardware) magnification for more exact tapping.
I am wondering if it would be possible to combine the two technologies on the same screen. I think that a special electrically charged stylus could be made which would work on a capacitive screen.
Looks like there will be a few other new processors in the pipeline for mobile devices in the not too distant future, the NVidea chip looks promising, but not too sure about atom in a phone. It seems odd that the ARM processor is still going so strong after so long. Wasn't it the power behind such things as the BBC micro and the Acorn Electron in the 80s?
" I think that a special electrically charged stylus could be made which would work on a capacitive screen."
there already are such stylus which work on iphones
but of cause the iphone don't have writing req software as it is now

There is, but it sucks and is pretty much useless. The only way of implementing this without sacrifying screen quality (that is, without adding a resistive layer) would be adding a radio sensor layer under the screen, just like the one in most Tablet PC's. This, however, may result in huge stili.
HTC late on new hardware
Don't forget that HTC is selling it's services to Toshiba, Sony and so on for developing and manufacturing devices.
And those want exclusive features garantied for a certain amount of time.
If you take a look at the pro 2 it is quite simular to the X1 on the hardware side.
Therefore HTC will probably never will be the first to bring out new hardware - even so they developed the combination. It is sold to the other PDA makers and then followed up by their own device with about the same features - just delayed a couple of month (and with better software .
WM6.5 when?
I'm still pondering the TGO1, but wm6.1 I can live without. I see that orange will but providing an upgrade to wm6.5, but I don't see when. I was wondering if anyone has any insider knowledge or any inkling at all as to when this upgrade might be available? Or just when will MS finally release it? (when xda devs have made it work properly for them for free I expect)
There's a snapdragon-based Xperia rumored to come out later this year in Android flavor, the X3. I'd believe that Xperias are made by HTC, are they not (though branded by Sony Ericsson)?
no, the Xperia was made by HTC, but not the successors.
Hi,
The time has finally come, my contract is up and I'm looking for my next phone.
I've been umming and ahhing for a while now and I'm still at a loss
Tired of my Touch Dual, missing a hardware keyboard, missing my Universal if truth be known. In fact, if it wasn't so damn big, I'd still be using it.
So, want a good speck to see me through to the WM7 devices (if they make em).
Hardware keyboard is a must.
So far have the hots for the Touch Pro 2, shame about the lack of 3.5mm h/phone socket.
Then there is the upcoming Xperia 2, looks nice, but still lacks some performance (according to the few reviews I've read)
Help me out folks, any more sugestions to the pot? Which one would you settle for and why?
Thanks
Mav
I must agree, hardware keyboard is a must
I would recommend TP2, the 3.5mm adapter is so small that you dont even notice.
Xperia 2 will not be made by HTC for me would not be an option.
Or wait a few months, great devices with hardware keyboard will be presented
The 3.5mm audio is something i would want. The UK TP2 doesn't have one from what I can see.
Any heads up on the other devices that are coming soon that could be of interest? If I need to, I will hang on to my Touch Dual, but it's boring the heck out of me at the moment. I guess, the end of the 18month contract is up in 10 days and it's time for a change, but I could hold off for a while. The problem with mobile devices is that there is always something new around the corner. You could wait forever
The Samsung Omnia Pro B7610 is out the end of Sept (or maybe 6th Oct with win 6.5)
800mhz with hardware keyboard and 3.5 Amoled screen.
Could be interesting with the Samsung App Store opening next week for WM devices
The lever on my htc 7 pro cracked and split into 2
I've applied some superglue on it and it is back in working condition already, however, I think it's time i start looking around for alternatives
Any news from the manufacturers? I think HTC is out cos it said that it will not be making any more qwerty phones. Any leaks from nokia on an E7 equivalent?
No I did not drop my phone. I just noted that it has that plasticky 'tack tack' at that spot which it split when I tap on it
Nothing new before WP8 I think, so you might need to see if your phone can last until Q4.
WP8 is thought to support a resolution of 480x640 for a fixed front-facing keyboard (like a BlackBerry).
As for slider keyboards, there are rumors of devices:
