Me and hdubli might work on this were still deciding what to do and when to start...
Will be great to have rom with m2d but without notification manager (bulls**t) and most standart apps for it. And WM without dumb MS software and with NET CF 3.5 or 3.7.
I vote for "More features less eye candy". We have a real ferrari (F1) here and we are talking about the color of the wheels.
A fast stable version with best internet, multimedia, system apps (can be found free, around XDA) would be great for me. I bought this phone because I do not care about HTC eye candy manilla. Otherwise I would buy a HD2 to have full XDA support and flash different roms every day (like I did in the past with Artemis and Touch Pro).
But that's my opinion.
Guys, maybe u should open separate S200 forum?
Many thanks you guys,
also, a separate s200 forum, its a great idea!!!

That is what i say: i want my F1 stay F1 : no stuff, which take the phone speed...maybe some tweaks, that it runs more fast(and stable).
It need to be fast in the everyday use: internet browsing, multimedia, office, maybe games etc...
The problem on my Touch Pro was the same like frecos: everyday a new rom update and the speed wasn't so good....
And i dont need manila..i have my Mobile Shell( less RAM, more Speed, better looking)
greetz from Germany
So tune up the speed please

Hi guys,
I am in two minds as to what my next purchase should be. I like the new HTC Polaris and it is what I know, as I currentlt have an Artemis. However the screen resolution is low, not VGA 640x480 which I would like in my next PDA.
I have noticed a few devices which are made by E-Ten that seeem to do all that the artemis does - but they do have a vga screen such as the x800 and x500 models.
Has anyone tried one of the models and would they recommend them? Also do they have a lively developer/modding scene like the Artemis?
Thanks - underzone
eten is very good pda phone, more fast than HTC, but their production will discontinue.
The ETEN looks like a good phone but there's more support for HTC phones. And now that I have a touchflo ROM, I don't know how I could go back to not having touchflo.
I have used 3 mode Eten PDA.And for me HTC better because can mod Rom for your PDA
Polaris for me look very cool,use chip QualComm 7200 (fast) Touch Flo 2.....and...
===> Polaris +1
I had the same dilema, I have an artemis wich I love, but I have it for a year already and HTC is not putting out anythig much better for me to upgrade (and it does not look like they are planning on launching any good vga device soon) so I ordered the Eten X800, it is supposed to get here tomorrow, I'll compare them and will let you know what I think.
P.S. The only thing that stops me from leaving HTC is this site, there is no such a thing for any other brand out there. And I'm hooked.

Yeah its this forum & the excellent brewed roms that really makes me want to stick with an HTC... but then again I do really want a VGA screen. decisions, decisions...
How about the new P5500 - slimmed down artemis with touch interface, keyapd, gps, HSDPA etc...
http://www.unwiredview.com/2007/08/08/htc-5500-nike-touch-slider/
Thinking about Asus, doubts are the processor and the screen size but like the size slightly smaller than the orbit, but little in it, I do miss a keypad.
http://www.devicewire.co.uk/Asus-P526
I got the x800 today, and it is a good pda but I don't think you can compare it to the artemis, the screen is nicer and having 3g it's a whole different browsing expierence, but apart from that it is a bit slow and the design is not as nearly as nice. It's not a bad pda, if it was my only pda I would gladly keep it, but choosing between this and the artemis, I would for sure keep my artemis until I'll find something else. (Maybe I'll try the gigabyte Gsmart i350, if I can get hold of it in america)
Previously got an Eten G500, nothing to do with X500 neither X800.
But i really, really prefer the artemis !
G500 was big, heavy, rom was unstable, and materials used was bad quality and many plastics cracks, painting surface goes away,...
Now i'm really happy to have sold it...
Polaris ===> +1

For me it has to be either Polaris or iMate 9502 - 9502 has VGA, same memory as Polaris (eten is short) and still has all the hardware buttons dropped on the Polaris...
For a span of 4 years I have owned a few handheld devices namely:
in chronological oreder:
HP RX 3715
FS Loox 720
FS Loox N560
Imate Jam
Treo 650
and the Artemis
I like the inbuilt keyboard of the Treo 650, I also like the VGA screen and fast processor of the N560 but the GPS sucks, and I like the OS stability (though still not perfect) and the quick GPS reception of the Artemis.
I like the single hand operability of the Treo 650.
Im getting sick and tired of using the stylus on my Artemis. You cant really use single hand comfortably.
Now Im looking for an upgrade. Something that combines all what I like.
The Kaiser doesnt get my attention due to the fact thats its very bulky. I dont like the sliding Keyboard.
Treo 750 doesnt have WiFi so its not worth it for me.
Polaris is also out of my wish list.
So to sum it all up, what Im looking for with my next handheld is:
1. fast processor at least 400mhz
2. inbuilt GPS and WiFi
3. big ram and rom
4. inbuilt keyboard like the treo
5. VGA screen
6. high megapixel camera
When will HTC answer my prayers???
If only Treo 750 had GPS and WiFi it will be the ultimate handheld for me.
And what will be your next handheld??? Yes you... I know you want an upgrade... I just know it.
touch cruse
vga screen can be a pile of problems with older apps/games and the likes
the treo 750 is slightly bigger then the kaiser. if the 30g make a big difference, i'm not so sure. i ordered my kaiser already, i will get it on monday...
it looks like this is what Im looking for:

Kaiser...just auctioned...
but in batterylife i think it's hard to top our Artemis, don't you think ?

In my own personal opinion, OUR ARTEMIS is the best PDA at the moment! And I have decided to keep it until I find the perfect one for me. That is if the Treo 750 will be upgraded with GPS and WiFi. Or if HTC makes another Artemis with a Treo Keyboard (aka Thumb board) then thats a no brainer for me.
there are three things i really don't like with Artemis: USB1, no keyboard and camera, everything else is ok imo.
Sometimes a faster cpu would be nice, but this will drain batterylife for sure...
i'll post my expirience with my Kaiser when i get it next week...
what about the 02 XDA Stellar?

I dont mind USB1, and the camera, its there but its unusably crap anyway. My nokia N70s camnera is better.
If only the Artemis had a keyboard and faster processor it will be a keeper.
Anyway Goodluck woth your coming Kaiser...btw have read about the video playback that Kaiser owners complain about???

i like the external access to my storagecard, this is really convenient, also the keyboard on kaiser - i love it, specially the material it is made of...
Yes, i heard about the video issue - just tried to watch 30 minutes movie with tcpmp - imo no problem. so far i can live with it. The camera is great if you're using it with daylight - autofocus is working very well..but if it is dark, it's again not really usable...
if your comparing artemis and kaiser in weight - the first time you'll be shocked, it's really heavy compared with Artemis (specially the battery)
the only real issue is batterylife as expected....first it was only one day! using gps only with batterypower uses a lot of power
now i flashed another rom and radio rom, it's two days, maximum.
the speed, camera, (ok, speed & camera comes with Polaris) and keyboard of kaiser with the batterylife of artemis - this would be a great device
Hi Pete
Nice to hear youre happy with your brand new toy.
For me, Ill keep the Artemis (this is the best PDA I ever owned so far) for long until something comes out that will really make my heart thump and say GET THAT ONE!
Cheers!!!
Hi ya,
yes i'm happy - but selling my artemis ? NO WAY !
Cheers
there is no update for artemis scence laste 4 month. No great rom or any update, the latest rom is just change in colour and graphic for touch 4.02
so i think Atremis is outdated.
The rom builders might abandone ship beucouse its lack in "power" if ur doing a job that takes alot of time i guess u want to make it as cool as u can and i have to say even thoug i like my p3300 i wish it had more built in memory faster cpu but for most a better lcd with higher resolution.
and why HTC dosent make updates isn´t that hard to figure out they gave us wm 6 but now they want us to buy new devices and i can say that i am probblebly buy one later becouse i really like my p3300 and hope that the newer modells will be as nice (but more powerfull)

nah i think it's probably cause they have other devices they are tinkering with at the same time.
as far as power, i got one i traded fro my MDA pro ( yea i know it's not vga but it's fun to play with when i'm not messing with my Ameo ) and it seems to be just fine
Battery status plugin ( look in the Prophet forum) works great on it and allows overclocking to the respect that it speeds up the device greatly. don't overclock too far or will cause crash's but find that sweet spot above the orig cpu clock speed and it does make a diffrence
what are you talking about.
This here came out at the beginning of this month.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396656
Whether you want to face up to it or not, the Artemis is getting out of date. Its been available for at least 18 months possibly even more, and the new version was released a few months back so that can't make it much clearer! (HTC Polaris\Touch Cruise\whatever you want to call it.) They are constantly coming up with more powerful phones which are able to run better software so its obvious things are going to be out of support eventually. Get a decent 'Vanilla' rom, load what software you want on there and just be happy with it because I've had mine nearly 18 months now and its had the same rom on there for the past 5 or so. Once its setup how you need it why bother flashing other roms because they look a bit nicer.
well the cooking rate did fall a bit,but that's because meschle retired...now is time when new cookers learn and gain experience
so be patient
and comparing to other devices artemis roms are the best for me,i have a hermes,atom,magician and himalaya and no rom can match artemis's especially meschle's roms (apps,tweaks,functionality,balance between speed and memory)
Hey everyone,
just saw the new LG KM 900 Arena with its new so called "S-Class 3D UI". It is some sort of mixture between the iPhone, the Omnia and the Experia X1.
In my opinion it looks pretty nice and it would be great to have it on our HD. I don't know the type of the processor but it has a (small ) 3inch WVGA screen.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okP8ce2svXg
Hope we can find some guys who can port this "S-Class" to our HD
MadoxX
Does it even run om WM?
No.
As far as i know it's a special samsung LG OS
greetz
will be released for WM
http://www.i4u.com/article23261.html
In the article they say, that the LG GM 730 (which is pretty much the same as the KM 900 Arena just on the basis of Windows Mobile 6.5) will be available in the first half of 2009!
I thought WM 6.5 is expected to be launched in autumn 2009
MadoxX
Very impressed with this new UI...
Wow I really love the Interface.....
Nice looking UI. I've just tried the new SPB MS3 and Winterface on my Touch HD but didn't like either enough to buy them. MS3 is very smooth and colourful and easy to use and set up, plus I didn't suffer from the battery drain problem a few people had reported. Winterface has potential but is still 'buggy' and a bit 'bland'. I've gone back to TF3 for the time being.
go to top
+1 for this thread
will be released soon.
anybody know how to remove LG application expecially the LG messaging / sms ?
Hey buddy
this phone sucks. don' ever look for it
Y - just had one of those phones in my hand (last week - not the new WVGA,... variant but they already have the UI on other phones) - better stay with Manilla & Co.
(btw WVGA just means better resolution but as to WM Phones is also means its much slower - as seen on HD)
At the first look it seems to be neat but it hangs like Manilla in the first days....
OK - it has a cube - but its not very important (beside eye-candy) and takes a little bit to long to show up and does not actually show the screen you are going to - just a general preview how the screen could look.
The Program start UI is nothing special cause u got it already in many HTC devices (WM6.5 startmenu or Iphonetoday,...)
In my opinion just wait for the "real" new thing - with 3D UI and a good workflow (just tech-demos out now - but will prob come mid next year) - or go for HD2!
Great specs in my opinion!

have anyone got s-class ui ? for htc
Here's my story: I am currently the proud owner of the HTC HD2 and love it, I flash custom roms on a weekly basis and just love the fact that windows mobile is endlessly customisable . I recently got playing with a friends htc magic and just fell in love with the android OS, how smooth and fast it was and the android market.
After this I am really thinking of switching to the Desire. My question is that is android customisable like windows mobile? I'm not talking about homescreen widgets. What I mean is that with windows mobile you have a Registry which you can edit. With android do you have this ability and can you install custom themes and change the task bars? Things like that.
I am new to android so please be nice
Any input would be much appreciated
I used to do the same on my Touch HD and HD2 before i sold them with the Max Manilla program, co0kiemonster's apps, and the Theme Creator mod. I would suggest you look around the Desire Themes and Apps section of the forum to see what is available. AFAIK, there are not many mods available for the Desire (yet), but there are a few (for example, see this link):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=673856
You can download apps like Helixlauncher/Helixlauncher2/Launcher2/FreedHome which allow you to customise the home screens.
Also, any modifications you want to make that requires system access will ofcourse require you to root the Desire.
Hope that helps you out a little.

Thanks mastoid, that really has helped. I have been looking around in the forums a bit more, especially the N1 forums and I have found the ability to highly customise.
I would love to move to android soon, but do you think I should upgrade to desire or wait for a android version of the HD2. I mean the desire look amazing but i love having a screen this big and would probably miss it.
I have had winmo devices since the beginning and my job involves me securing all the major mobile devices.
my personal device was an hd2 and I have swapped to the Desire
Screensize should not be an issue as they are very similar. You will be.so impressed by the resolution.
Not having a stylus has been an issue for me ad no keyboard has been quite big enough for my fingers.
Customization skills will take some time but iv you program should be reasonable.
security is still an issue mind...
All the best Sam

It really is your choice matey, I had the HD2, but personally, it was a little too big for my liking and I am happy with the screen size (3.7 inches) and resolution (480 X 800 WVGA) of the Desire. It has the fresher OS (Android 2.1) which runs faster than WinMo 6.5. As the devices have similar hardware specs, the Desire can do everything the HD2 can do and more whilst doing it all faster.
It's a tough call, only you alone can decide
You can either wait for Android OS to be ported to the HD2 (even I don't know when that will be possible) or jump ship and go for the Desire.
In retrospect, I much prefer the Desire over the HD2, i'm impressed with the Android OS, much prefer it to WinMo 6.5. Its also important to consider that since WinMo 7 has been announced, support for 6.5 is waning with some developers already cancelling/stopping development of apps.
The desire seems like a much more sensible choice!
