tell of a special thing/concept (i.e. not incredibly common, or done by 4yr olds) you've done or discovered with your dash. explain in brief but diplomatic terms (not like a 4yrold) I go first
I like wififofum as a network scanner (just introduced to it recently). you can analyze and even map with a triangulation the source of a wifi signal. how's that for useful. dash is a tiny unassuming ppc, but it rules
I put together a ROM from scratch for it... lol
I discovered that in vibrate mode that the dash feels kinda funny in my pocket when someone calls!
I use mine as a portable heater, OC it to 400Mhz and it keeps me warm on theses cold dayz.
Currently my dash does multiple things, its a game machine, a paperweight and a dial up machine all in one!!!
arggh? me feels primitive.

on a serious note, I must try your brew, chilled. So do you have a lite version yet? Im all for adding stuff maself, although kavana rom has been real good to me, I feel the wind of dashventure calling. oh yes
woa, got the buttons confused. I read on your rom a while ago, is there a lite version done?, because as you brought it up, I didn't make a rom for my phone (the whole arggh thing comes to mind -read comment). *ps. This is a sad exercise in correcting what should of been a reply post and it feels great. ahhh!

YESSS! such an oprah moment, I feel the same. Just jiving about the O, but this little work of micron love strums the strings in me.

I use mine all the time when my G1 pisses me off to the point where I just need reliability.
I guess my answer would be "I use it as a phone" (which in today's society is actually rare )

You use the dash as a phone, whats wrong with you man? lol i have to admit when i pick up my dash i sigh a little bit. The best phone ive ever had including the g1. Gaming on dash is awesome, but its also a really reliable phone. Even if i had an iphone, g1 and diamond i wouldnt part with it!
cool
I'll tell you what I've done that's cool and unique, maybe even amazing, is I have turned my dash into my girlfriend (my wife's words)she says between modding and the forum, I spend as much time with the phone as I do with her. hehe

The hardware is the same as the desire, apart from the larger display (which is LCD not AMOLED). I have come from the HD2 to the Desire and use it for work as well as play. The HD2 was just too big for everyday use. The desire works fine for work applications - using Touchdown for corporate mail sync etc etc. I use Copilot for navigation, but there are other soutions including google.
Try this site for differences from a hardware perspective.
If you're not already sold on Android just being "better" than WinMo, go with the HD2. In a corporate environment, WinMo is probably just about a better choice than Android, but only barely and the gap can generally be covered by 3rd party applications. WinMo also has better support for multimedia (DivX etc), but again the gap is narrowing. In practically all other respects Android is a superior OS IMHO.

for portugal not :S.....we pay alot for internet connection :S...I need a trust map like tomtom and ndrive...
I've already tried garmin and don't like it :S, just to much lag :S...and don't have my street loool
the camera is better then hd2 yes? In read the wm don't use very well the camera :S
Another thing I like to do a video call =/...on the desire it's not possible oO
hd2 can?
ps: thaks fot repply
NDrive is available for Android, but my preferred choice is Copilot because it works very well and is extremely well priced (and has offline maps).
Neither the Desire nor the HD2 have front facing cameras, so video calls are not possible.

Dave
To be honest, I've been using touch diamond 2, and windows mobile for me is a little disappointing! Seriously.
Get the desire! It changed my life.

I'm coming from a WinMo 6.5.3 HTC Touch HD (HD1) and while I can't comment on the hardware of the HD2, I do miss a bit the larger screen, but otherwise I guess the Desire is better.
For the OS and software: android is sure more modern and oriented towards capacitive touchscreens, has better generic applications and games, but if I had to choose it purely for work I don't know what I would choose.
I sure as hell miss a solid email client and no aftermarket client on android comes close to Pocket Outlook integration, exchange, etc. That said, this is normal, since the desire pertains more to the consumer-oriented market, while winmo comes from the professional-oriented field. Besides if you only need it for work/emails/phone you could probably go with BB.

Coming myself from WinMo (which did the job), I'm must say I'm not at all disappointed with Android.
I only use it professionnally and I don't see what is your problem with it! Explain a wee bit!
I will try another roms and try this phone one more days...testing testing testing
my probleme is.....thats like a children phone
but its my thinking just for now
The major thing that makes me miss my Touch Hd is the lack of the stylus and absence of Transcriber and Handwriting recognition. For professional use, sometimes I need to write longer emails and the stylus plus handwriting recognition was great for that. However, the desire is much faster. I think HD 2 is very fast too. If it has a stylus and writing recognition amd you need it professionally I would recommend windows mobile

bah...I don't like it at all......I want to sell it =/
I already put my sell in the markplace...350€ for I can buy one hd2
I've got an HD2 and it's been sat in its box for 7 months as the Desire is SO much better. WinMo is ancient now compared to Android and the only thing going for it is the screen. Even with my own ROM on it it's not as good as the Desire out the box!
I wouldn't go back to WinMo now unless WP7S is something special - which I doubt!!
Who would trade Android for Winmo !!!????
Winmo is just GARBISH ! after two HTC phone with WM , i should say that i hate it !
Android is So MUCH BETTER !
if u want to go to Win-mo so badly , and call a USER FRIENDLY INTERFACE => " CHILD PHONE " then go for it !
dunno why some people must have a hard time using their phones to feel Professionals ! so why not using MS-DOS instead of windows and feel a lot more Professional !
with a little search u would find that the most HATED MOBILE OS IS INDEED : WINDOWS MOBILE !
PS : as a suggestion w8 at least for Winmo7 !
The fact that MY HD2 is still sat on my desk is evidence enough that I'm not 100% convinced the Desire is the better option. I've stuck with the Desire for 3 weeks now getting to know it and flashing a few roms. I can cetainly see the appeal. I like the marktplace and I LOVE Rom Manager (100% the best feature for me) Browsing is nice, in fact MOST things are nice. I do feel Sat Nav is in a league of it's own on WinMob and I much prefer the bigger screen. The relative bulk of the phone doesn't put me off, I like it big in my hand (oo-er). If The Evo was out in the UK I would probably sell both and get one of them and wait patiently for Sat nav to get better on Android.
I've had a Desire for a couple of weeks now and the HD2 for much longer.
When I got the Desire my plan was to switch phones every couple of days while deciding which I preferred. It hasn't quite worked out that way, I use the HD2 for a week or so and the Desire for a day or two.
I haven't rooted the Desire, I have stock ROMs on both phones. Nervous I'll brick it I suppose and on the HD2 there are so many cabs available on XDA to change the appearance of icons, sliders, clockfaces etc that I haven't felt any real need to flash a new ROM
Desire - better interface, touch screen much more responsive, better selection of apps
HD2 - much more tweakable, much better screen size. With Cookie's home tab and the various cabs I have installed I feel my HD2 is unique. Still new to Desire, perhap I can get the same level of customisation if I root it first?
When it comes to apps I don't really have that many on either phone so the Desire's app range isn't that big an influence. The ones I use the most are file manager, registry editor, ebook reader, satnav, media player, mail and messaging. I've got Swype on both but on the HD2 it doesn't seem to be quite as accurate as on the Desire, but that'll be the HD2 screen.
On the apps front the HD2 really wins out in that I can run Secubox - this is an app I use every day (its like Truecrypt for Winmo), and there doesn't seem to be an equivalent on Android.
For Satnav I have TomTom on HD2 and am still just using Google maps on Desire. I may try Copilot though.
Anyway, I'm still undecided. I use the HD2 most often but when I do use the Desire I can't stop picking it up and playing with it ...... even if I prefer the HD2 in the end, there's nothing like an evening spent stroking my Desire
Oh and I almost forgot - being able to run the HD2 as a wireless router has come in handy a couple of times, don't seem to be able to do that with the Desire
I'm glad to announce that come this Sunday when the Captivate drops on AT&T I will be done with windows mobile 6.XX for good. Being able to test out the Android OS on my Tilt 2 put the dagger in the heart of Windows Mobile for me. I was skeptical at first, but now I believe that the Android OS is far superior compared to any other mobile OS. I'm sure the developers are working hard on a 100% port, but I'm tossing the Tilt 2, all thanks to a tease. Anyone else in the same boat I am?
EDIT*----
Well, crap, I didn't even see the "Goodbye Rhodium" thread. My bad.
Hells yeah, unfortunately I'm on the sprint network so I have to wait a little bit more. The only reason I wanted to make android work on the TP2 was the size of the phone (I think the Evo is just a little to big for my taste) and the physical keyboard.
Dont feel bad. There are many in your boat. I was pretty skeptical of android myself, but I've also been pretty attached to google for a few years now. It just made sense really. Winmo just isnt getting the support they need to make their product better it seems.

I was thinking the same thing as well, until i realized that even if we could use the camera, bluetooth, wifi and sound on the with android... it's just not that great.
I get all the options of android, plus the support and compatibility of windows.
mobileshell and mobilesense allowed me to completely drop the android os.
i dunno, i just hate to see people let go of their rhodiums. best damn phone Ive ever had and guarentee it will be for years to come.
enjoy android. sorry to see another winmo go...
I have agree even though I have moved on from the touch pro 2 the actual phone was amazing I was just gutted it was on windows mobile 6.5 which in my view didn't take advantage of the phone. I wish htc had released an android version of the tp2 rather than just making touch phones this year
Hello everyone!
My father needs a new phone and it looks like the Desire Z is the best option for buying for him.
I'm happy now with my HTC HD2, but I found out that a hell of a lot of tweaking/adjusting register/ROM-updating/enz. had to be done before it was great. When the HD2 came out the phone was great but the software sucked big time. Now I want to know, how about the Desire Z? Are there any bugs or major drawbacks? Anything really not working on these phones?
I'm thinking of trouble like I had with my HD2 which had a 3G/HSDPA-connection that hung up on me every now and than. Audiobooster which you had to turn on (again) after each song, Twitter-tab that never really worked until the last ROM-update and so on...
Let me know what sucks about the Desire Z (or why it's really great)
Thnx!

For me the only minus with DZ are the loose hinge issue, the lack of a front facing camera, the fact that the hardware keyboard does not have all the usual qwerty keyboard characters and that the hardware keyboard does not tilt.
These side, the DZ is great.
To buy or not to buy? The decision will be yours, bearing in mind that there might shortly be better configured devices coming from htc in not too distant a future.
No comparison whatsoever between Windows Mobile and the Android experience on the Desire Z. Having come from the Touch Pro 2, I was used to heavy tweaking & frequent ROM flashing just to make the phone tolerable. The DZ is light years ahead of any Windows Mobile phone. Its fast, smooth, stable, and just a joy to use out of the box. The only real modification I've done is remove the Bell Canada bloatware.

+1. I had a TP2 as well, and the stock ROM sucked.
I am still running the stock ROM (1.34) on my Desire Z, and I love it. I'm sure the custom ROMs are great/even better, but the stock ROM on the DZ is so much better as an experience compared to my old WinMo phone.
Thnx to everyone who answered my question! I've got enough info now. My father is going to buy the Desire Z and I guess he's gonna like it
Naw, he's not going to like it . . . he's probably going to LOVE it!

You could always be waiting for the next thing... there will ALWAYS be something better if you wait just a little longer. At some point, you have to actually buy the thing.
And the other thing is that the wait could be longer than you expect. It took TWO WHOLE YEARS for them to produce a phone that was a worthwhile upgrade over DREAM. A whole lot of phones have had some really compelling benefits, but considering the whole package, nothing else has yet been able to measure up.... so go ahead and wait until October 2012.

Gladly, I am in the Samsung Galaxy S2 scene now, where there is not such thing as slowdowns.
HTC Rhodium, I REGRET YOU and DENOUNCE that you were ever my phone!
Same here. I still use my TP2 like it was brand new. I'm not parting with it until it dies. It does everything I need it to, and does it fairly quickly. Sure I can get an Arrive or a droid phone with a Ghz CPU, but I'd lose all the tweaks and programs I have amassed over the last year and a half. Screw that. Co0kies Home Tab still rules the roost round here!

A month ago I would've agreed with you. But now that I finally got an Android native phone, I could never go back. You think there a lot of customizations with winmo and CHT, take that times 100 and you have Android. The things you can do is off the charts. You'll know what I mean when you finally move on from your TP2.

Had tp2 for two years. Beautiful phone aesthecally unbeatable keyboard. The mistake I made was upgrading to Sense. The phone was never designed to run sense....slowed it down completely. Also it began to have random shut downs and crashes with Sense. It was irritating to have to install apps like Clean Ram in order to rescue my phone from crashing and keep it workable each day.
The straw that broke the camels back was when youtube hq video support for tp2 stopped.....it finally hit home that I had an aging phone that was unable to keep up with the times....a phone that youtube and adobe flash were now overlooking. Windows mobile had had its day it seemed. As such, it was time to put my tp2 in my 'museum' drawer along with my htc diamond and old ipaq.
I switched to a phone that was ahead of the times and might provide at least two years of futureproof peace of mind due to its specs...samsung gs2. Android is the future imho. I still occasionally use my htc hero without any problems - bar the smallish screen...

I agree. Many think the Rhodium and winmo is the end all be all of customizability... but things have changed.

Yup, with Android you get the customization options, and you also get an OS that actually works and has a ton of good software. If you need to stay with WinMo for personal reasons, then its tolerable. But if you compare Winmo to Android side to side, there is no contest.
I believe you. I've been using the Tilt 2 for a long time now, and I was waiting for DFT's Android NAND to be out but I gave up waiting last week. It's been lying around for a week without a sim card in it and still has battery life left. It's been running for a week on standby without charging. I moved to the Galaxy S, but I still love the TP2. Great phone it is. I will use it to test if they do come out with a proper android ROM for it.
Still using mine. All love love with it.
Im still using mine. My wife upgraded from the touch pro to the arrive running windows 7. It is nice but I still prefer 6.5. I would like a better camera and some sort of d pad to allow one hand use but still have not found a replacement. The xperia x2 looked perfect but it is not available in the US and I would have to switch to ATaT because it is GSM. I love the tp2 and it does almost everything I want. I use it with the stock rom and spb mobile shell. It allows me to customize the phone exactly how I like it.
My precious....
After running an old Kaiser with a very stable ROM for the last 2 years I "upgraded" my equipment with tp2, which I ever wanted to have. Must say, the Keyboard is great, don't wanna miss it any more! But WM 6.5 is a hard experience...
Till now I've fought over 3 months with this phone! It's such a brilliant concept of a phone, why is it so hard to get it stable??? I think I've tried out nearly any german ROM out in the field, including Energy Rom and the original one from HTC, not a single one was without a bug! The only thing I want it is to be stable, smooth and, well, just working!
Now I stay with the original Stock ROM, by now it seems to be stable, but memory using is a monster, and the phone slows down over the day.
And, after all, I also think of leaving good old WM and change to Androiid, but all I can read is that syncing Android with all my Data in Outlook via USB is also such a tricky job like using ActiveSync...
Has anyone here experience in that?
I have mine for now a year. I dont understand why HTC started to screw their Touch and Type phones. If you look in past, if you buyed a HTC with full qwerty, you became much faster phone than only Touch. Last better Touch and Type was Touch pro. If you compare witch Diamond, it had more Ram. From this point the Touch and type had worse hardware. I dont understand why they made Touch pro 2 with hardware from Touch pro. It was old and in that year came HTC touch HD2 with Snapdragon. So why Touch pro 2 didnt became also? This is only thing what i miss on this phone.
But... i had now for 2 days HTC Desire. I know, it had overheating issue, but i made some tricks to made it working I tryed and i must say, AMOLED, camera, speed, android was the hammer. There are only 2 reason i wouldnt buy one for common use. Absent full qwerty and my TP2 still do all i want. I would miss my 5 row keyboard :-D So still, TP2 is still numero uno for me ;-)
