That's correct. Evidently, WM6.1 will be on both Smartphones and PPC's, but only Smartphones will have the NEW Home Screen User Interface.

the three things missing in uni were
1)external screen
2)quad band gsm radio
3)more ram
the 7150 corrects this and is in my opinion a logical upgrade
I do not see the external buttons for the phone command on this imate???!!!
too boxy for my liking, and the universal can be upgraded

can you elaborate on that???
i am yet to see a uni. with more than 64mb ram, quad band gsm and an external screen
upgraded in the sense of software, there's xda-developers and a great team of unofficial developers
i don't think i'm gonna replace my universal but if had the $, i'd buy the 9150
true sucessor
IMHO there are only two phones that could truly replace the thc universal:
1.) Samsung G900
2.) HTC Omni
The Specs are damn juicy, they faster and smaller than the HTC Universal and they have WVGA (800x600)

1) its toshiba g900
wvga is 800x400
but in my limited experience with uni i can tell you that it is very hard to find software that supports vga...so you can imagine how bad the support for wvga would be...

wrong again, according to the spec wvga comes in the following flawors:
720 x 400 (18:10),
800 x 480 (15:9),
848 x 480 (<16:9),
852 x 480 (>16:9)
864 x 480 (18:5)
Anyway both the toshiba g900 (yeah, not samsung ) and the HTC Omni come with a wvga (800x480) screen.
I don't know what apps you need/use but all apps that I need do support vga/wvga (such as MS Mobile Office, Mobile Opera, Acrobat Reader, NewsGator Go, Total Commander Mobile, Live Messenger ...)
let the sh*tstorm begin
look, I aint a bigger knower of things... but quite frankly- as of this moment the 7150 looks like a prime case of vaporware.
take a look....
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=721
It was slated for a April launch... now it's June release...
No working models reviewed, 3 month after announcement...
Only pictures out are the same screen, with 11:13 inside and 13:36 on external
this gives me bad flashbacks of the Moto MPx (true collectors piece now )
opinions?
(please prove me wrong!!!)
toshiba g900 has a small screen (3") and 64mb ram. hardly a successor!
this looks interesting, although its probably huge and will cost insane amount of money.

New HTC Diamond, will this be nice into trinity !

Hi all,
HTC Touch Diamond is out and u can see in these links the beatiful new touchflow 3D that will be very welcome on our trinity
TouchFlow 3D
Video
"The most important factor of this new device is HTC's new Touch Flo 3D interface. The new interface aims to compete against Apple's iPhone touch interface. From a video demonstration by MoDaCo it appears that the technology suffers from some common drawbacks to Windows Mobile's own interface and system. Occasionally freezing and not always responding to screen taps correctly. Checkout the video below to see what I am referring to. HTC has integrated Opera's mobile browser into the device and it appears to offer an improved interface for web browsing on Windows Mobile devices. A YouTube specific application features on the device almost like the iPhone equivalent."
(neowin.net)
This may be discussed on xda, sorry if dble post.
WOOOOW, ITS AMAZING..waiting for it to come to egypt )
the bad thing about HTC Diamond that its VGA not QVGA
BUT i hope that we can put the 3d home screen on P3600
Yes the Diamond looks like a nice phone, it's even smaller than a HTC Touch. BUT, it is only triband so if you live or travel to north america it won't get reception in some country areas. Even though it has 4gb of built-in memory it would have been nice if there was a microSD slot since they will soon be up to 16 and 32gb.
Otherwise I'd be the first in line for this tiny brother of the Trinity. Maybe the next model called the Raphael which is a Diamond w/keyboard will be quad band.

More bad news, Diamond has 3d acceleration hardware... so i think it will be almost imposible to bring this new Touch Flo 3D to ours trinitys.... but i will try..
It's MANILA!!!
Do you remember???
was anticipated sometime ago as manila interface!!
also elia said me that manilla is too slow unlucky....
Finally HTC seem to have realized the importance of RAM amount to keep WM running smooth: 192 MB DDR SDRAM.
This interface will not come to our trinity's

yah but you know that VGA device take more RAM than QVGA device to run any apps
our video card is not badly, but we haven't got 3d driver!
many applications 3d that they turn on our device are simulated by some dll librery.
in more we have not the codes sources....than we cannot modify the functionalities of the video card.
the problem of vga-qvga remains on second level
sorry for eng...
i am getting one in october
im off to hong kong
i am going to get one while there
can't wait......looks a great phone
Oh my God, I WANT THIS!!!!

I too have read somewhere that HTC Diamond doesn't have memory-card slot ...this seems very disappointing.

Meizu UI on HTC Touch HD ?

Check out this UI for the meizu phone..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq_qk4Rxn-0
It is running on windows mobile.
Will it be possible to port the code to HD?
http://www.meizume.com/m8-firmware/7812-m8-firmware-0-9-0-0-a.html
Probably possible - but difficult. The M8 uses only the Windows CE6 core, not Windows Mobile itself (which is still based on the crappy CE5 core). What Meizu did is take the good CE6 core and build a nice interface onto it.
This is exactly what Microsoft, HTC and all the other manufacturers should have done long time ago. Get rid of WM6 and its crappy CE5 core and build a new system on top of CE6.
Windows Mobile has both a crappy core and a crappy interface. I can't understand why Microsoft still has not built a new interface onto CE6, which was already released two-three years ago. That would've been easy but they just didn't care about Windows Mobile for another two years and let HTC and others do the work of replacing the WM interface - which is hard because there's always the crappy WM interface underneath.
The Meizu system is a bit like what Windows Mobile 7 will be - better core, nice interface. But Windows Mobile 7 is coming two years too late.
Anyway...
I suggest you do a Meizu M8 skin for iContact/PocketMusic/Resco Explorer/ThumbCal/Wisbar Advance Desktop and others in the meantime. Then replace the default Windows Mobile applications with these programs and voilà...
And make a finger-friendly alternative to Outlook...
And get rid of TouchFlo scrolling and implement the Windows Mobile 6.5 scrolling/zooming engine.

This maybe possible but you would need to shift everything around to make it Windows CE 6.0 compatible. I was looking into doing a project like this after building a ROM or two for my phone. Anyone up for a group project?
The project have been started?
i guess the music quality will be really good in this phone
MEIZU are well known about their good sound quality (i own the M6 MP4)
this going to be a really nice phone i think
At a net price around 325 euros during instant sale on the bay if the seller is in a good mood, and delivery ex Hamburg, it might be tempting to buy one... Just a pity there is no 3G, guess I wait for the M9

no G3??!
thats bad...too bad!
is this meizu m8 port to HTC blackstone possible?

[Q] HTC touch pro2 T7373

i am looking at buying this phone and from what ive read it comes with windows 6.1 and you can upgrade it to 6.5, i wanted to know can it be ungraded to windows 7.
thank you
sut.
WinMo 6.5 is as far as it officially goes.
I SERIOUSLY doubt it'll ever get WP7, even unofficially. The HD2 is the only device to ever unofficially get WP7 (AFAIK), but that device has much better specs.
I have a rhodium bought it and when he came to win but the htc 6.1 released 6.5 to win it. I think it's the ideal but the win7 was looking to try because I have an android and would like to compare. I have not found any version of win7

You won't, for the TP2. Again, the HD2 is the ONLY WinMo device that'll run WP7. I seriously doubt any other device will get there - although there's a few other WinMo devices that might have the grunt to run it, the TP2 is not one of them. Look elsewhere.
Yes I know that HD is only left with 7 but I have a htc p4330 6.5 and got a win when the officer was only up to win5
Between win7mobile and win6.5 much more difference than win5 and 6.5. First of all in hardware specifications for win7 need multitouch screen.
Does WP7 actually need a multi-touch screen to even boot? How would it even know?
I guess the CPU architecture is more problematic then the touch screen.
Why would you like to run WP7 anyway? Even if we could somehow emulate the CPU - the system would be 10x slower then XdAndroid making the phone unusable.

Windows 10 Mobile on tablets

Hi everyone.
I saw before several days on both Windows Central and WMPowerUser that there is a one company that got Windows 10 Mobile on 6" tablet.
Is there a way to put Windows 10 Mobile on my 8" tablet that currently have Windows 8.1 with Bing?
you cant use "Mobile" version on tablets... Mobile is only for phones... look is not impossible but there is a lot problems with that...
But if I remember, Microsoft said that Windows 10 Mobile will also be used on small tablets.
wait first to be released officially to mobile phones, then wait news about that... for now not supported...

If your tablet has Windows 8.1 with Bing, doesn't mean it has a x86 processor?
Yes, but also from what I know Windows 10 Mobile have integrated support for x86

According to Microsoft, Windows 10 Mobile has support for Qualcomm SoCs only. There is a mention of phones with x86 SoCs and Windows 10 Mobile, so there might be some hope.
