Since we saw a couple of weeks ago htc's '09 roadmap, I've been waiting to find more info on the HTC S511 'Cedar', and it looks they are finally here.
PDAdb.net just added the (incomplete) specs for the device.
Can't wait for it to be released, and I'm hoping that some local carrier gets it ASAP.
What are your thoughts?
There's no info yet on the battery or weight, whatsoever, but if the stock battery doesn't get me throught the day I won't mind changing for a high capacity one as long as its form factor is similar to the dash one.
Looks good, i hope its in black or atleast a black shell is availbe.
I really really wished they atleast added a 2.5mm audio output... itd be nice to be able to charge it while listening to music...
Any guesses on a price if tmobile gets it? if its in the 200-300 range.. im all over that
cool.. yeah a black shell will be great
no 3g though?

it's there
so cool.. so nice. great improvments. UMTS1900
ah, cool. must've missed it. if it has 3g & comes to t-mobile by the end of this year, i'll probably get it. i bought an ipod touch recently & love it but realized i could not use a touch keyboard like that for emailing/messaging. it's so annoying.

It has HSDPA faster than 3G
looks really nice!!
That site indicates the S620 has IR. Pretty sure that's incorrect.
The fuzzy image of the Cedar reminds me of the Palm Centro. Except the Centro of course has a touch screen.
Glad to see a replacement, but I have personally outgrown WindowsMobile Standard. It's almost time for me to move on to a touchscreen or a Blackberry.
damn I swapped my Dash for a G1....when this comes out I may have to cop it straight up just to have it.
dash 2
News floating on the net says different , HTC S511 Cedar isn't the new dash. The new HTC Maple/3G Excalibur is said to be the successor of the dash/excalibur.
Here's the report.http://www.gsmdome.com/htc/htc-wind...009-htc-touch-hd-follow-up-is-whitestone_3184

My fault... Seeing the specs it looked like the straight replacement for the dash, but I should have noticed it's a S5xx series, and I suppose dash replacement will be S6xx, or something of the sorts.
Anyway, specs-wise looks good.
Cedar going to Sprint

Just wondering why you're talking about the mda mail on the dash replacement thread.
I currently own the ATT Tilt but its time to get a new phone. I am debating on if I should wait and get the Touch Pro2 or just get the Touch Pro.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time
i'd just get a touch pro and use the manila from the TP2
i don't see anythiong hardware wise, apart from the screen, that would compel me to upgrade.
But which OS
What I'm interested to know is which Microsnot OS will they have on them. I have seen some articles where there is mention they may run 6.5.
It will be extemely interesting to see what the XDA chefs do with them once they get their cooky little hands on them
Personally I would be waiting.
I would say wait as i'm kind of in the same boat as you are in (however i solidified my decision when the Fuze came out and wanted to save my contract for the "next big thing"). I'll more than likely get this and hope to be the first person in line for it

Both the Rhodium and Topaz will ship with 6.1, and (the HTC branded ones at least) will get a free upgrade to 6.5 when its released.

If you have the money, feel free to buy one
i recently got me an Epix to hold me over till this badboy comes out.
Hey looks like the perfect kiaser/tilt replacement had the money for the touch pro but i guess im going to wait now think you should 2
I too am waiting on this bad boy to drop. Thought about the exeda but am going for this one first
The only real reason I think to get a Touch Pro / Fuze right now is because you simply like it looks more. The Touch Pro 2 will be a bit bigger and clearly look different.
But the Touch Pro 2 is the superior phone, so if you could pick a Touch Pro / Fuze now on contract, or wait a few months till you get it's follow up on contract... I will always choose for the Touch Pro 2 .
Yes yes, all the efforts being made in the ROM development will make A LOT of the new cool stuff in the Touch Pro 2 available to the Touch Pro 1... but still, I like the device more. More resolution, tad bigger screen (which makes entering text without having to flip open the keyboard easier), The slide-out qwerty can tilt like in your Kaiser / Tilt now, it has better speakers for speaker-phone mode.
I'm a Diamond user, so clearly not into the enterprise / corporate thing for my phone, but I always thought the Touch Pro was just a Diamond with QWERTY thrown in, while the Touch Pro2 clearly has a bit more to make it a business phone over the Diamond2.
i got rhodium

They sell it in Taiwan already? How much approx?
I will definately wait for the TP2 as an upgrade from my TyTN.
The wait for T-Mobile NL to get it is quite long tho (approx. June)
thats not that bad might come to the us in sep hoping it gets here faster a looooooot faster
This is definitely one of the best designed of the recent HTC devices.
Odd that it didn't get the Touch HD's 5MP camera unit?
I got my Tilt (I think) about a month after it came out on AT&T. According to myATT I can upgrade at the beginning of September. Since there is no way that I can afford one of those mobiles without subsidized pricing I will be forced to wait until then. The rumours that I've heard indicate that the TP2 will be out then. So for me there's really no question of which mobile to get. The reasons that I prefer the TP2 over the TP: The screen. I have gotten so used to the tilting screen that I really don't want a phone without one. The 3.6" WVGA screen should make web browsing that much better also. Since software doesn't matter that much (thanks to the dedicated hackers of xda devs ), I would just like at the hardware.
Wait
I'd would wait.... the bigger screen, battery, and higher resolution is enough to wait for and hopefully HTC's proposal of a "Global" release means that every carrier gets TP2 at the same time.. check out the link to Sprint's 2009 line up ..... Rhodium= Q3 release http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/03/16/sprints-q1-q3-2009-device-roadmap-leaks/

Wow, if that Roadmap leak is to be believed, Sprint's Rhodium will be both a cdma and gsm phone. That's pretty impressive for a US carrier.

Hi,
Not generally a Touch Pro II question.
I have had a Touch Pro II now for 15 Months and am soon due an upgrade but I can't see any phone on Orange UK that even comes close to the Touch Pro II, Well maybe except for the Desire but think I would rather stick to Windows Mobile.
My upgrade is due in September/October time so is there anything coming out during that time that can compete with the Touch Pro?
Thanks
Graham
I also wanna get a new phone, and would like to know if there's any good phones, with a qwerty keyboard, out there that can beat the TP2? Thanks.
I have a funny feeling the answer will be there isn't
I have exactly the same problem. I have had my Touch Pro 2 for a year and I am due an upgrade on the 10th of August but cant find anything that interests me enough to want to get rid of my Touch Pro 2. I have been to Bestbuy and played with the Desire which is the only thing that tickles my fancy at the moment but I dont think I can live without the hardware keyboard.
I think I am just going to switch to a sim only plan on a 30 day rolling contract and wait till the end of the year to see if HTC release an Android phone with at least a 3.7'' screen and a 5 row keyboard. I was thinking of going for the Motorola Milestone but once you,ve had a 5 row keyboard you,ll never want to go back.
i was gonna jump ship the Samsung Captivate(Galaxy S) because i saw it for free but since i didnt move FAST enough i lost my chance but then yet again id lose my unlimited internet data plan on my account which i dont want!
maybe this one
if it ever goes to production - xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/awesomeness-htc-hd-pro-concept
i'm kinda in the same boat but holding off. Think i'll be moving to android next cuz i'm not too psyched about wp7.
also all my past devices have been with a qwerty keyboard cuz i txt and email a lot but after using my gf's evo and swype, i can easily live with that.
so i guess i'm holding off till theres a gsm variant of the evo :/
I think I will be aiming for this whe its released

I think if I were to get rid of the TP2, then this is what I would get. However, with the TP2 over clocked I am completely satisified.
I think I'll wait for the new htc desire to come out or when htc makes a touch pro 3 with android on it! or maybe an iphone with a slide keyboard hmm..
Hi So i shall begin with my Experience with My Gpro in my short journey of 5 months
Buying
So on a fine December afternoon while searching for a phone to replace my Still going strong Optimus 2x before my 23rd Birthday on 21st Dec i saw The prices of G Pro Dropping to 26k INR with the GOSF sale going on in India.Too good to ignore when it was retailing for 30-38k range ,I Ordered the white one but Soon after that i realized i wanted the black one Called the Cromaretail.in guys but those lazy asses told me sir its not possible and all the blah blah , So I vented out all my frustration on them over here at Xda, where one guy who ordered the Black one from the same website on the same day read it , and apparantly he wanted the White one and CromaGuys turned him down too after ordering. FOOLS
Anyways through XDA we both decided we will not open our phones until the weekend where he was to come to bangalore from Mysore , he came we exchanged(apparantly on my birthday) and now i had My Black Optimus G pro in my hands.
Now after 5 Days , I rooted my Phone , it went fine till a couple of Days but one Night it stopped Receiving 2g Signals , i switched to WCDMA(3g) Now that was working Fine, i tried Flashing Basebands , I tried installing Different Roms be it stock be it custom, tried basically everything but nothing worked. My experience with my 2x gave me confidence that i would never have to take my phone to a service center for a Software issue but alas my Confidence was shattered as nothing worked.
Now as usual Service center people who mostly have no Idea about Technical problems, and they used the most basic solution that when something isnt working and you dont know why just replace the whole thing , so they replaced the whole MotherBoard and Obviously 2g came back, So within first 10 days my Motherboard was replaced :crying:
After MotherBoard Replace
4 months went by and April was going on and suddenly one day again 2g Gone , 3 G working Again i had to take it to Service center, There was some other guy , He said this time they will Send the phone to Their Technical Team as if It was suppossed to mean something , After 2-3 Days i got a call that Sir Yours is the First issue in the Country in G Pro where 2g isnt working and 3G is, usually it's the other way around :laugh: as if its an achievement
and After some days of Testing once again their Solution was to replace the whole PCB i.e Motherboard. So 4 months In and I now had my 3rd Motherboard.
Shattered
Now during all those 4 months i had a Hard case on my phone, but the day i got my phone back from Service center It looked So sexy that I didnt want to put that Cover back atleast on that Day Planning to Go to a Late Night Bike Trip with Friend i was shopping for First Aid Kit when THUD , my darling went face first on the Supermarket Floor. My friend, She looked at me a little freightened , but i was calm for my old pal Optimus 2x with gorilla Glass 1 had seen 10 times more bigger and brutal falls/assault for 2 years and never had a scratch on it while my Gpro had GG2 so obviously it wouldve survived this fall with No worries :fingers-crossed:
I picked up the Phone rotated it to look at its front and There , ....Heart attack .... Screen Smashed Gorilla Glass 2 You are worse then GG1 , how does a company manage to make the next iteration worse than the previous one :crying:
now they are asking me for about 8K to get the screen replaced , 1/3rd of the cost of my phone :crying::crying::crying::crying:
So this was my not so fine Journey with our G pro , but i dont know why i still cant Say bad things about Lg or this phone , I know they are not timely with thier updates, they probably gave me a defective handset, they dont create as much hype around their phones as sammy does but the fact is this phone is blazing fast, they give the same Features as a samsung with 5-10k less price and they are as reputed a brand as sammy if not in mobiles than in consumer Durables plus my 2x was a lovely phone
One hell of a story! Good to know you still think highly of the phone.. Guessed this phone is a Master stroke that even LG missed to recognize
Sent from my LG-E980 using XDA Premium HD app
yeah man for 30 K and with android 4.1.2 I havent seen a phone as blazingly fast as my Optimus G pro , I mean no Lag whatsoever and it's the colors on its display are so vivid , i just hoped that it's awareness and the subsequent developement was better , Coz for my older Optimus 2x there was and still is tremendous support from devs considering it's a Lg Phone
I also use a G pro Black E988. We have to understand that gorilla glass is not shock proof and that when glass gets bigger it gets heavier and will break easier.

I do get that but the fall wasnt that brutal , must have been 3-4 feet only , and my Optimus 2x has withstood falls from above 6feet and brutal ones that too consistently , if GG2 cant withstand a 3 feet fall then i dont think GG should be as hyped as it is .
That sucks. I'm surprised to hear you had any hardware issues but, then again, maybe radio(s) ate more reliable on some frequency bands then others. Regarding the gorilla glass, they really should call it something else because gorillas can take a beating, while gorilla glass is designed to survive your car keys.
I've been there though. I've had phones survive catastrophic falls, yet crack the screen from a short fall of my lap when getting out of the car. It's all in the angles, I guess.

A friend who is a technician told me to not buy an LG phone, they sucks, that i better buy the Xperia Z, but wow this optimus g pro looks amazing! that hardware for the price it cost its just amazing! i bought mine for 250 on ebay, like new! an amazing Quad core! 2 gb ram! that screen 441ppi! 1080p! just made me jizz the time i saw it! i have a bad luck with phones and wish this will be the exception. now im waiting a week to get the phone in my hand! but as i see this is a great phone with low price and great hardware, i dont really mind about the support because as a XDA user i dont rlly give a damn about oficial rom.
I am a big photos fan, had a S3 and it took nice pics, hope this one take better photos, can you say something about how great the pictures are with the g pro?
Pictures are good. This device is a great device spec wise for the buck......I like mine. I have the black e980 with a carbon fiber skinomi and glass screen protector....my setup looks sleek a sexy....I like naked devices....I climb billboards for a living and still keep my device in great shape! Its how responsible you are with it.

Too bad brother. If its just the screen which has cracked u can try to replace only the digitizer.. that will considerably reduce the cost as g pro's screen n glass are not fused.
Also the screen cracking is totally dependent in the point of impact.. even if it falls from a low height but falls flat with screen facing down then even GG3 glass shatters.

I would say in my opionion, dont buy it. My g2x was a piece of crap, and i regret giving LG another chance with the e980. My battery has gone bad (making the phone useless) and all LG support told me is to send it in for repair (how do you repair a battery?!?!?) and to include a receipt (somthing i dont have) but the phone should obviously be in warrenty as the date of manufacture is less then a year ago! This shipping would also would cost almost as much as buying a new battery and take twice as long. Horrible customer support(their phone lines were down as was their live chat and the customer support was completely unhelpful besides making sure that i knew that i couldnt get any resoulution without a receipt) , this phone will likely NEVER receive any android version updates(like the G2X never received ICS) and almost no developement seals this phones fate.

Hi , too bad to know that you are facing these problems , as far as battery is concerned any service center be it samsung, htc will ask you to send for repair ,If you dont want to send for repair Just try Factory reset and if battery still sucks then you are sure its not a suftware problem but a problem with battery so buy a new One. Simple!! :good:
And as for G2x , My optimus 2x got ICS and your G2x was American version of O2x, So i think it also got it and if not then problem is with the Carrier as Lg Updated O2x from 2.2 to 2.3 and then to 4.0 ICS. :angel:

Yup, i see your point about the updates, i guess the American carriers dont want to update devices. And im 100% sure the battery is at fault,i already bought a new one, ill probably make a video or something when i get my new one.

Yours is not the only one in India to have this peculiar problem. One fine day couple of weeks back. My G PRO also stopped picking 2G signals. Takes up 3G in a jiffy but keeps searching for 2G. But If i keep it off for few days and then put a SIM it picks up 2G for a while and then again off. You rightly said that THESE TECHNICIANS of all Mobile companies dont really know repairing. They just know chaning MOTHER BOARD. Mine is out of warranty hence cannot afford MOTHER BOARD. dont know what to do whether to use it as a WIFI TABLET or a gaming device?
