$100 if someone can put WM6 on this phone

I am looking for a total guru to help me put WM6 on this phone, it is not made by HTC. I would pay even more if the WM6 had my own splash images on it. This is not a hobby thing and I have real money to pay for someone who can help me out, it would not be a one time thing either I would have other things to do down the road. [email protected] if your interested or reply here. You can be anywhere, Russia to China. I am in USA.

Model?????

$300 n ill put that on there for ya

Your device description is incredibly vague. Are we supposed to guess what it is and hope it works?
--James

Oh man, isn't this a device made in China? I saw similar devices here in China. But surprisingly the price of the device is little more than 100$. Besides the specs are somewhat far from promising. I prefer to spend another 100$ to buy one of these devices for which WM6 is available in one way or the other: xda stealth, Imate pdal, imate jaq3. Just a suggestion and not meant to disappoint you.

word, you may want to just upgrade

That phone is not running a Window OS in the first place.

It does come with WM5 for PPC. I saw totally similar devices only with different brandings. Also they are cheaper than other known WM devices. Have no idea if those devices are licensed by M$ or just a product of reverse-engineering.

that is a chinese phone
and no windows ce 4 it at all
they fake mobiles as if they are windows based and they write windows mobile on their covers
but for truth they r not
there won t be a wm6 for it at all

more screenshots here: http://www.m8cool.com/mobile/1/632/4113.html
the price is 1420 RMB, so it is less than 200$. i think it really is a WM device.
and a different one with price about 120$: http://auction1.taobao.com/auction/...88c75d2e6f9cf9f8e.jhtml?from_item_detail=true
such devices have popped up suddenly in the market in bulk and i wonder whether it is due to the popularity of WM or to the ability of the reverse engineers.

Verizon Touch Pro2 leaked photo...

I have no clue why we're only hearing chatter about the Sprint version's leaked photo, but I just found this on phonedog. No clue where it came from, but thought I would share.

Let the Verizon release date rumors begin.

im getting this phone on the verizon network

With Sprint & Verizon's designs, it's the first time I see a locked-device that's more kick ass looking than an unlocked... Love the black keyboard. To bad here in Belgium we haven't got one of these

According to this guy, his contact at Verizon told him to expect a July release. http://www.examiner.com/x-11295-LA-...Touch-Pro2-headed-to-Verizon-possibly-in-July
I'll believe it when I see it, but that would be perfect.

I wonder if AT&T gets it the same time frame? I'm on ATT and this is the first time I'm excited about getting a phone that they will carry instore. I've been running at Edge speeds for too long on my Touch Pro 1 and Touch HD. I'm ready to get my 3G speed and full qwerty back. Plus a screen size nearly the same as the HD's.

Bored and did some quick math. No point really, other than just boredom. It would be nice if this timing worked out, but I'd obviously prefer it much sooner.
Yes, I also realize that Sprint released the TP on the last day of confidentiality, but hopefully it really doesn't take until Halloween.
Touch Pro
FCC Approval - July 1
Confidentiality - October 19
Sprint Release - October 19 (110 days from FCC Approval)
Verizon Release - November 24 (146 days from FCC approval)
Touch Pro2
FCC Approval - May 20
Confidentiality - October 31
Sprint Release - Unknown (September 7 is 110 days)
Verizon Release - Unknown (October 13 is 146 days)

I sure hope that's not the case. I've already been waiting a couple months to upgrade and make my work life a helllllll of a lot easier. If I had confirmation that was how long it was going to take, I would probably get the TP1 and see about upgrading to the 2 whenever.
I need this thing for work. And 3g is a big part of it. This not knowing is killing me.

I wish the photo was still there.
Please tell me you saved it!!

TP3

i remember when looking for a new phone that around jan this year the first details of the tp2 came out and from then on we got to see more videos etc of it from phone shows
can we expect the same in jan2010 for the TP3
for me if they make it slightly slimmer with the spec of HD2 then i think it would be perfect
no way should they tamper with the keyboard
heres hopeing jan 2010 brings us our first look at the tp3

how about touch pro 3 with a capacitive touchscreen that supports multi-touch?

while not as compact and a all in one solution, i replaced my rhodium with a hd2 + logitech dinovo mini combination

I kind of doubt it. They still have a lot of money to make on the TP2. I guess the timing wouldn't be that different compared to where the TP1 was in its lifecycle, but that device seemed spent much sooner to me--it also sticks out a little in the product line as the TP2 probably is more of a tytn III than a TP2. I think we'll see the first leaks on a TP2 + snapdragon in late spring or summer. There might even be an inclination to delay it for a rollout with winmo7.
On the other hand, an HD2 Pro could be justifiable before then. I suspect the distinction doesn't make a difference to you, but a device with a 3.6" screen really is in a different category than a device with 4.3" screen. I'm not totally sure what that category would be exactly. Business for people looking for an OQO replacement? Multimedia for people looking for a better video player/gaming experience? Big-handed people?

HERE at the bottom of the page. But a keyboard and a tilt mech on the HD2 and I am in. Dont get to excited though when you look at the specks you'll know why

I can´t see this as an upgrade for our TP2
Ok, yes it has a slightly faster processor but with smaller screen! WQVGA...no way!
I don´t think we will see a real upgrade for Rhodium till 2011
So let´s enjoy Rhodium!!!

I think HTC was targeting the n97 mini with this one. Although I think the n97 mini has the same resolution as the n97.

WP7 Launches in Thailand, Immediately Sells Out!

MS has just launched WP7 in Thailand with the HD7 and it has already sold out.

I can see why looking at the promo pic.

"Really!"

Depends if its sold out because of lack of stock, like what happened with the Euro launch. Not really worth mentioning unless the number of units sold is known.

actually it still shows demand is higher than expectation, regardless of the figures this is still a good sign. MS is putting in this much work on something they expected to have low initial sales shows they are looking at a longer picture. I still firmly believe that this first batch of devices is just a soft launch and we will soon see the real push once MS has patched the holes that are being used to attack them. I think MS are doing a great job with the software and if they can get the right push then the sales will show reward for there effort. I don't think it will be to long before we see stands in shopping centres demoing phones and pushing the brand but MS will want everything in place first.

I am one of Thai who rushed to buy HD7 on the first day it launched.
It seems like a good news that HD7 has been sold out. Anyway, what I know is that only 500 units are coming into Thailand, just to test the market.
Many people delay their decisions to buy WP7 as there is no Thai (also east Asian language) support. WP7 now cannot display Thai language. Thai can be typed via the third party application that allows posting only to SMS, e-mail, facebook status, and foursquare shout.
Also, we cannot buy any applications from marketplace as it has not yet supported Thailand.
It sounds strange why MS has chosen to launch its product in Thailand without Thai language support. I'm quite sure that East Asian language support is still not yet to come in this coming minor update in February.

Amen to that!

32GB internal storage? Yes, Nokia responded.

http://wmpoweruser.com/o2-germany-claims-to-have-a-32-gb-nokia-lumia-900/
O2 Germany is offering the Nokia Lumia 900 in white for pre-order.

This is not your run of the mill Nokia Lumia 900 however. Besides being in glossy white., the smartphone is also uniquely offering 32 GB of storage. The handset is limited to 16 GB elsewhere.
O2 Germany is also offering a 32 GB HTC One X, whereas USA is being offered the 16 GB version, making it possible the company has indeed decided to offer increased storage.
We are reaching out to Nokia to find out more, but in the mean time salivate over the spec bump at O2 Germany here.
Update: We called O2 Germany customer service, and they confirmed the specs. Time to pop the champagne cork
Update2: A picture from the O2.de catalogue also confirms the 32 GB specs.

People have been whining about this... good thing when Nokia actually listened and responded. Let's see all other OEM to do the samething.

Have always noticed that Germany always gets the best storage options, it was the same with the Omnia 7.

I just had a feeling for the need of bigger storage than 16GB when i filled the whole phone with just a few apps and my 13GB of Music.
Never thought that i may need that much.

meh. O2 has (compared to T-Mobile, Vodafone) a really bad mobile network when it comes to data connection. slow and bad reception (at least in my area). I'd like to have it as open amrket phone or at least on another provider.

Good but why only for Germany ffs?? I heard the that is one of the countries where WP sells better, but giving them such kind of benefits doesn't sound right to me...

I hope it will be for 199€ + 13€ shipping to CZE just as my Omnia7 was

why is it not right? this device will be more expensive than the 16GB version. and AT&T got in the HTC HD7 a new AMOLED display that in Europe not was, and? nobody complained

Has been taken back as an error. Catalogue says 16 GB now.

Damn, I was seriously considering to order it from eBay Germany or something like that, I would love 32GB.
