Add another 50 and visit marketplace section
You can find a good touch pro for around 200-300

If you don't have a Kasier\Tilt then can't go wrong for £150, just been checking ebay.com and many in your price range, not much else with such a great ammount of ROMs and good spec

I just "upgraded" from the regular dash to the "Black" dash (I really just purchased a black dash from ebay and swapped the case with my dash so I wouldn't have to reinstall and setup everything all over again).
I have to say, the "black" dash just looks so much more hi-tech then my original "steel" faceplate one

that is so FAIL... the chrome faceplate is 100x better. and really... i think it'd be easier to reflash and install than swap cases. I'm guessing you don't save everything on a sim card and backup your registry. you should try it... really...

Moto Cliq
Im waiting for the release of the motorola cliq next month. Its android, nice keyboard with no chin, and the touchscreen supports multiple touch (unlike g1).
Thats what im doing.

Multi-touch is enabled by the OS, not the hardware. The new version of Android that will be on the Cliq will also be available for the G1 and MyTouch. Word is that multi-touch is already built into Cupcake it is just turned off by default.
multi touch.
Not true, some screens support it better than others.
The g1 has an older screen that althought it does work, it doesnt work say as good as the my touch.
But the mytouch doesnt have a keybaord.

Multi touch works just as good on my g1 as it does mytouch. the cliq is going to be running donut most likely instead of cupcake but cyanogen's mod has close to a third of the donut's tree already working and it won't be long till we see a prerelease of donut on the g1 and mytouch like we've seen 6.5 here on the excalibur forum. And the mytouch is fail from a lack of keyboard. The only decent way to type is to turn if sideways and the keyboard still doesn't stand up the samsungs memoir and beholds. I swear if those phones had android id call the g1 a fluke in a heartbeat
i finally got a mytouch 3g, i love it

i know it sounds crazy but im thinking of selling my dash
i figured id post on here to see if anyone was interested.
body is in good shape, might have a minor ding somewhere. screen has a protector on it, one of the static ones. screen protector has a few minor scratches on it, but that can be removed lol. has rickys wm 6.1 rom on it, i think my sig has the version of the rom i got on there.
if your interested send me a pm. i can post pictures sometime if needed.
it is branded t mobile. i can have it unlocked if requested.
also i can put it on e bay if one of you guys really want it.
I'm actually looking forward to an upgrade as well...
Why? To get a better processor, more memory, built in GPS, touchscreen and WM6.1 Pro. See Samsung i780.

honestly i just started a new job and i have been working a lot. so far this month two out of four weeks have been 40+ hours. i havent had a lot of time to text a lot or to surf the web a lot, especially at work, they dont like for us to even have our cell phones. so i want something a little more basic, and itll cut a few dollars off my bill.
My HTC S620 will be replaced next week as the iPhone has officially arrived in The Netherlands. I loved my S620 but it's time to move on.

here are some pics. the two of the bottom of the phone shows the dings the phone has, not very noticable from normal distance. then one of the keypad, cause its so nice lol. and one of the screen protector, its earned the money i paid for it.
Yep same with me. I need an upgrade but the Dash is one of the better phone in my opinion that are out there but I guess ill be leaving this forum because I have put my Dash on Ebay and have got bids so farewell!

Totally agree and it's not got alot of software available, no where near as tweaky, yes it has a touch screen but so does the Kaiser, that would be my choice if i had a chance of an upgrade and as NRG states it's a bit bah.
Second THAT
"F" the iphone. It is already out of date. Our Excaliburs whoop its ass. I like the idea of the Kaiser, if you just gotta have a touch, but the touch seems like a big waste, when you already have a superior phone NOW.

if you want a wing then go for it, good trade. but a wing is more bulky than the dash, and harder to access the keypad cause it is hidden.
i thought about getting a wing, had a mda abd it got too bulky for me, so i got the dash and i have loved it since. now im gonna sell it and try to cut back on my bill
I still don't know how you are gonna cut $$$$ off your bill since your dash still can do everything any other cell can.
Saving $$$$ can be done through your plan and whatever extras you have through your provider.

I loved my Dash. I loved my Treo 650. Both are history know. No hard feelings. I saw the sinking ship named Palm and I see one sinking again. It's too little, too late. Microsoft arrogance or incompetence I don't know, maybe both.
I like this forum a lot. Thanks Kavana again for the great superior ROM.

I will ship it anywhere for $150. It's a Taiwan build HTC S620 + 2GB card. Screenprotector from day 1 but the 'silver' striping around the case is now black on several places. Plastic USB cover is missing since last month (perfect!). It will be off duty as soon as I can obtain the iPhone 3G. hope I can get one on Friday. The Netherlands has a 100% full speed 3G coverage .

Hey all, Check these out! These are the soon to be released Motorola Phones! The first two are totally portable and I think double as clubs in case your getting attacked. The last one is the new Bag Phone that you can actually use as carry on luggage for when you travel. And yes, I would take these over the new iphone 3g anyday.

If you compare specs the X1 is better than what HTC is coming out with.. its rumored that HTC even made the phone for Sony.. so hope that could be a sign that Sony might drop Ericsson and pic up HTC if the phone does well..

I would also think that since the phone was just released in EU... i think.
With an American release late Q4 or early 09 Q1.. I would think by the time that i think the dash is no longer useful, spring 09ish id say.. the price would drop..
Of course i haven't seen it yet but im not sure if the touch pro will work with tmobiles 3g.
Then again thats just me
all in all...
Well all in all if T-Mobile is gonna release the HTC Touch Pro And It Will Have 3G internet service then thats the phone i will be getting... only phone TMO offers with 3G right now is the blackberry perl.... and not looking to go from the dash to the perl there is no way... so im just gonna wait.
i was hoping for something similar to dash design. I like the keyboard right there and not having to slide the phone to get to the keyboard.

Hey, guys. Been reading the "Excalibur" forum for quite awhile now. Really great stuff. Thanks!
So... I have some moula to get a phone, and I'm kicking my options around. My Dash, while currently fine with the Ookba WM6.5 ROM, is feeling pretty long in the tooth. Probably a good time to kick this over to my wife and get myself something new. But what to get? I'm sticking with T-Mobile, so no question there.
Here are my thoughts...
- T-Mobile MyTouch 3G and extend my contract an additional two years
- HTC Fuze (used) and load the latest XDA rom
- HTC Diamond (used) and load the latest XDA rom
- something else???
Not sure if I'm really stoked on the Android world, but the Hero-based ROMs coming outta XDA look pretty sweet. Upcoming Exchange support is a must as well. Otherwise, are the Fuze and Diamond phones as sweet as they look? Any other suggestions??
Thanks,
Yip
Why not the Touch Pro2 with all it's 3G goodness when it comes out in August?
since you said tmobile, my choice would be the G1 with the keyboard.

I agree 100%.
The HTC Touch Pro2 is set to be released by T-Mobile on August 12th in the US.
This is going to be one bad-ass phone. Of course, it will (I believe) come with WM6.1 stock, from the factory.

I've thought about that, of course, and the Touch Pro 2 is *amazing*, but I'm guessing it'll be about $399 on contract, or so, which is out of my range. I'm hoping to spend about $200.
Anyone here have the Fuze or Diamond? Are those phones pretty great?

Just hop over to Fuze section look @ the ROMs etc
Same goes for anything in your price bracket give you an idea of what can be acomplished
TP2 would defo be my choice
Mine too: TP2
But long live to Excalibur!!
I appreciate your input, guys. I both *love* and *loathe* trying to figure stuff like this out...
So, it looks like about $220 is really my limit, unfortunately, which probably leaves me either choosing a myTouch 3G or a (used) Fuze. Do warranties carry over with used phones?
It'd be easier to decide on the myTouch phone if T-Mobile would come clean on the *actual* Exchange Support they'll offer, but they're being unnecessarily coy on the topic. Also, I really wish that myTouch came with the higher (288megs) of RAM, but it doesn't appear to I would love to get a copy of the SenseUI running on that sucker!
Anyhow.... myTouch 3G vs. Fuze. Thoughts? Pros/cons??
it was mentioned once before, why not the dash 3g?
my thoughts are to stick with a WM phone, i strayed a little and did not like it

The Dash 3G is ok, but I'm a bit miffed at the *lack* of real upgrade as compared to the original Dash! Same screen size/resolution, low-rez camera w/ no flash, and no touchable screen. It's faster, of course, and with 3G speeds, but otherwise a pretty minimal update. Also, T-Mobile has priced the phone TOO high. It should be $99 at most, but they're asking $169 w/ two year contract.
Not well done, in my opinion.
So... I finally had some "hands on" time with both the Fuze and the myTouch 3G. There is a LOT to be said for actually having/using the device in your hands, ya know?
FUZE
I'm hoping that the stock ROM is well-known to be really poor on this phone, because it was embarassingly bad to use. It was extremely sluggish (even after a reboot) and I had a lot of miss hits while trying to choose or open things. Do the WM6.5 ROMs for the Fuze improve upon the usability a lot? I would certainly hope so. In-store, the Fuze was a big disappointment.
myTouch 3G
Our local T-Mobile shop had one of these to check out. Actually, it was an employees personal phone that he let me look at (which was slightly awkward, but whatever). I've had quite a bit of time with the G1, and the myTouch was significantly smaller and more comfortable in my hand. The on-screen keyboard takes getting used to, but overall the phone seemed responsive and attractive. A nice device!
So... I'm still torn, but leaning toward the myTouch

I gotta have a keyboard. If the phone starts lagging, typing on the screen lags too, it really sucks. $99 is not a bad price for the phone, I'm sure alot of people would jump on that.

Does yor G1 lag then? Just wondering as with the CPU speed we have in devices should be no lag, never use Hardware Keyboard on Kaiser as the expresion "Hard to Use & Hard to Find" pops into mind, but then never have any lag
the g1 does lag if im using too many programs (like pandora+messaging+opera mini) I usually run together. Like the Dash you can keep typing on the keyboard and the phone will catch up, with the onscreen touch keyboard when you type when and phone lags the buttons wont respond until the cpu catches up, you either gotta type slower or go back and fix all the errors. This happens also with the mytouch, im sure when better faster ROMS come out itmay not be such a problem.

To fix that gain root access of your phone and download Advanced Task Killer (Free) it lets you kill any apps running quickly and frees up ram quickly
yea its rooted, latest cyanogen stable rom, parted sd card for the apps2sd, i use task manager, i acually got a few task killer apps. i should overclock it but i can deal with a little lag to save battery. its all modded out like my dash is haha.
Does anyone know if this applies to upgrading/renewing for 2 years as well? I'm out of contract now and up for the $199 Mytouch upgrade. It would be pretty nice to get this $100 cheaper.
according to what i read online it applies to qualifying upgrades and new service.

I'm waiting to see the Cliq and the price as well. Rumor has it that it is going to be a major push from Motorola and T-Mobile and may even be FREE with a 2-year contract. If they do that, or even make it $50 or so, it is definitely going to be my next phone.

Its was a good flip for me I've been a Linux and Mac user my whole life so getting root access and being a mod an Android device is a whole lot more comfortable for me
ubuntu rox, I just wish I could run my favorite programs on it.
i was just thinking although the cliq looks like a badass looks and tech wise, i realised it wont get much xda support being a motorola. who knows if it will be rootable and be able to put cooked roms on it (if i cant run cyanogen with apps2sd it might be a no go for me). i dont want to be stuck using a standard t-mo rom on it. phones like moto q9h and the jack would be alot better if cooked roms, hacks and mods were availible (just the usual registry mods was all i could find) but little tech support makes them a dud IMO.
btw the pre order date is said to be oct. 19th no price yet. im still debating on the mytouch promo or just wait on the moto clit, but i dont wanna cough up 200 on the touch since the promo is ending soon (23rd or the 24th i think) decisions decisions.

please remember that you're talking about a motorola device. always have been shyt and always will be shyt phones. they made 1 good phone ever... the razr.. and that was.... 5 years ago.... they made the sidekick slide though.... nvmd that was shyt too.
yea your absolutely right about moto phones, i got the q9h with WM 6.1 thinking it would have been an upgrade from my dash since the tech specs said so, it was slower and froze up alot and just pissed me off all the time. i went back to the dash after about two weeks. my gf had the sk slide,it was a nice looking phone but i wasnt too impressed with it.
watch its probly gonna be all hype and end up discontinued in 6 months after the release.

i dont want to discourage you but i've had a g1 sitting in the box and just got mytouch. they run the exact same software. everything in the dream forums works well. tons of stable roms tons of free apps. battery life is fail but no more than the dash prior mods. 16-20 hours. i had to go to a store and play with it a while to make up my mind. if you dont like it and still want the moto cliq go for it
i agree about motorolas, they are pieces of ****. even the razor, it was only cool because of its size. the cliq is probably aimed for the "Hannah Montana" crowd. its tmobile's way of replacing the sidekick
