I have used the Blue Angel for more than year. Its a great combination of PDA and Phone. Now I want to buy a new PDA phone which should be a real successor to BlueAngel. My considerations are same screen.Please help me decide. What is your opinion regarding HTC Shift?
Thank You.
well maybe better(closer) is TyTN
HTC Kaiser
The only real replacement for the BlueAngel is the Xda Flame.No contest!
I agree with Canaan. O2 Flame.
To BA users like myself, portrait form factor and a 3.5" or larger screen, are most important.
The Universal, Advantage, Shift, etc. are too bulky to carry around as replacements for phones and laptops. They also cannot be easily held in one hand and used with the stylus in the other, either because of their landscape orientation, or, even if they allow portrait orientation, because they are too heavy for comfort.
I wear loose jeans or dockers, and a BA fits fine in there, with no discomfort. I expect the Flame to be the same.
The 2.8" screens of most "feature phones" are too small.
I've used my BA for 2 years instead of a phone+laptop. I'm ready to switch to the Flame.
As for no QWERTY, that's no problem. I use a Stowaway BT keyboard when I need a real keyboard, while the soft keyboard with stylus is more usual for quick typing. Built-in keyboards, including the BA's, are just too small for my fingers.

As for no GPS, I think this isn't a liability, because BT GPS can be carried in pocket or mounted in vehicle, and having built-in GPS ties you to one GPS solution (or forces you to buy another while wasting it), and raises privacy concerns.
Eagerly waiting for the Flame to arrive...

Hi there,
when reading various reviews about Artemis device I got a feeling that the presented tone color of Artemis case is slighly lighter than the device itself in real. In the concrete terms try to compare following pictures of Artemis:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The first one is how the Artemis is usually presented when searching for it on e-shops, the second one is what I can see in the real shops or at people who decided to byu it. I was just wondering - is there available the Artemis version with lighter case as can be shown on the first picture above or this is just the way of official device presentation? The reason I am asking is that this one can be observed on all e-shop presentations but unfortunatelly it does not match the real device appearance. When searching the e-shops for Artemis I also noticed the device marked as "P3300 Artemis Black" but with the picture of lighter case though so little bit confused here.
So the question is - is it possible to purchase the device with lighter case variation or is only the darker one sold?
Thanks everybody who can advice.
Its the darker colour. The 1st one is obviously photoshopped, and most definitely used for presentations only. Then again, I could be wrong, so wait for what others have to say, I have the darker one.
It's the dark one...
The T-Mobile version (without WiFi) is a slightly lighter shade see the picture below for a side by side comparison:

Yep, T-Mobile Version is definately the left, brigther one.. It is way brighter than say O2 XDA Orbit.
After having a brief trial with the TP2 at voda yesterday, I actually found the keyboard less efficient for me, as with moderate speed my fingers would ocassionally press down multiple keys at once. I think the letterbox design of the original prevented this, as begin typing almost flawlessly with first use.
So previous Touch pro/Fuze owners whove switched:
1. Whats been your experience with Speed/accuracy typing. Better/Same/Worse?
2. Do you miss any of the removed keys in day to day use?
Ill have have another go today to see if it was just my muscle memory messing things up. However if the keyboard is a slight step down, Ill be reluctant to bare the cost of the upgrade just for the larger tilting screen (which I really liked).
For me it´s more comfortable than the one on old TP
But even much better is this one:

Universal keyboard!
Not any keyboard of actual devices on the market can beat this one
Agreed. The TP2 keyboard is easily the best keyboard since the Universal, but it doesn't beat it.
To be honest, if they put the screen and other hardware from the TP2 into a Universal chassis with that keyboard, they'd have an utterly awesome device. (3.5mm audio FTW!).

+1 for this!!!
First off I appologize if this is in the wrong section but I didn't know where to start this thread so I thought it would be great if we could develop such an application to work on all these devices which feature a pretty useless zoombar.
I used to own a Touch Pro (Raphael) and evolved to a new Touch Pro2 (Rhodium), the one thing I miss the most (besides the camera LED) is the D-Pad and Enter button.... when the phone is in portrait mode.
I think this image describes my idea pretty well:

I have no programming skills so I am seeking the great help of all the developers here on XDA. I hope some of you like my idea and post comments and hopefully someone will try and develop this for us to use.
It should have 5 main functions, slide Left, slide Right, tap Up, tap Down, & tap Enter.
What do you think?

I would pay for an app that would do what you just described.
There are several threads about the zoom bar and some solutions
http://www.fuzemobility.com/your-zoo...s-your-friend/
Energy ROMs also have scrolling enabled in some apps and zooming in others
(I know, NRGZ puts out great ROMs) which comes in handy but what you described would come close to d-pad like controls, which is exactly what I’m looking for.
I loved ALL the buttons on my Tilt (Kaiser),
I got used to the available buttons on my Touch Pro and resistive area by the d-pad.
Absolutely love my Tilt 2, but find the lack of buttons can get frustrating.
bump, this thread needs some serious attention from the developers, i would love a nice xmas gift in the form of this app
+1 - the current functionality is pretty useless - it's just a waste of space at the moment.
i would want this so i can play the emulators for nes and snes game.
What I found
Lego X1 Craddles WannaBe
n.b: (before read) If it seems useless, kiddo, trash and so on, yeap, just leave it… ;-)
Months ago, I read a thread in XperiaX1.net talking about unavailable orginal Xperia series’ craddle (probably happens in X1 only) but there is a model sold in eBay but it looks so ugly in potrait (Maybe it’s just my opinion) and because I loved playing lego and skilled when I was in primary (fortunately, I still save the Lego till I’m in college now), I’m planning to recycle some of lego model that I’ve made in primary to make a craddle for my X1, maybe I named it as X1 cuddle

ps: I wish it's legal to crop the 'Lego' logo and
This is the most simplest cuddle which is inspired by my Satio’s Video Stand.
Actually, I have calculated and experiment a little for this lego’s angel wether it’s strong enough to hold my X1. It works and I can browse comfortably and even watch a Movie better.
I also make the lego constructed reversely and sticked some silicon glue in each corner of this cudle to prevent (or at least minimize) my X1 from scartch.
For charging, it works better after I replace the ‘clumsy’ orginal X1 USB cable, or reposition the X1 to 90° (not 270°).
But since I’m a med-student not an engineering, maybe the construction is far from perfect. Hmmm, maybe next time when I get holiday, I will make the cuddle from other materials that are more easy –formed, like fibreglass.
Thank you for reading.

Nicely done mate!
Text of test.
Three words that stand out in that title; Cost-effective, sports & bluetooth. All things that I really want for a curricular activity. This set is made to resist moisture such as sweat and rain. It is not a bad option to look into if you are in the market for a bluetooth headset.
The fit was actually one my main concerns. In the past I tried the Motorola set that looks like this set and it was terribly uncomfortable. At the time I was working for a lawn care/ landscaping company as a Crew Leader and needed to be able to answer the phone at any given moment to speak with supervisors and the owner of the company. Before I ventured into the wireless headsets, I well, obviously was using wired sets and ended up tearing up too many to keep up with. Long story short I got tired of paying for new headsets because the number one issue was the wire getting in the way.
When I got a bluetooth headset it was like salvation. I was free! There were no more wires to get in the way, it was easy to wear and I got to listen to music all day long. This is where this headset can come in handy.
Life has changed a bit and I am no longer working for that company, but I do like to go jogging and again the wire was annoying at times. I love not having to worry about a wire. I look forward to using this set for future runs.
