since carphone dont have it in stock anymore its either this or a palm treo 750, i dont want a brick in my pocket....

I think the ted baker is actually the elfin. Had a friend who owned one.So more memory than the 'original' one.

you can purchase a nice cover from seidoonline.com. They come in a variety of colors and are the quality is pretty good.

It's not often the postman brings me a lilac coloured Pocket PC wink.gif It's not often I get excited about the arrival of a lilac coloured Pocket PC either, but in the case of the new HTC / Ted Baker Needle, the excitement was more around the unknown than any hot new features or specs.
So here it is... and it has some surprises in store!
The Ted Baker Needle is a HTC Touch variant - exclusive to Carphone Warehouse in the UK - and is a result of HTC / CPW's partnership with Ted Baker, a UK clothing brand.
Over and above the standard HTC Touch specs (200MHZ TI OMAP, 2 MP camera, TouchFlo etc. etc.), the Needle brings:
* Customised branded startup and home screens
* A different keypad design (which matches that of the 'O2 XDA Nova' in Germany)
* An actually-not-too-bad-in-the-flesh lilac colouring
* Ted Baker external branding
* 256 MB ROM / 128MB RAM
* An updated ROM build featuring HTC's new 12 / 20 key software keypads

I dig it. Its a great phone and a nice color, plus its great because you know its a phone that not too many people have. I personally hate when everyone has the same phone as me.
People think the phone or phone user is gay because of the color? Thats the trashiest thing I have ever heard. The color is nice and the phone is great. Let's have a little security in ones lives, ok?
Its no different from the Prada, Armani or B-Phone.

i have to say the more i look at it i get used to it.....

Happy with it
Just my say got the tedbaker of ebay..Must be the only 1 in CYPRUS....Need to separete from the crowb..TOP PHONE

are the buttons in other place??? have they moved in that cover?

just picked it up, i hate the color so ill be lookin for a case asap, also the buttons are different, so id imagine a replacement case is outta the question, the rom layout is absolutely terrible, the internal keyboard takes up 80% of the screen, and is just nasty

how is the start up animation????? can you upload it

when i saw the picture you posted i was almost sick but walking around town yesterday i saw the ted baker version and i (dont tell anyone mind) liked it alot i like having a different phone to everyone i got the black elf at the mo but my white elfin should be here soon

Believe it or not, I actually sold my white elfin (noone thinks THAT ONE is gay?) to get the ted baker needle and I love it. I just love it.
Call me gay anytime, I don't give a tiny little rat's @ss. Lilac anytime over white. I would've preferred silver like the ipods, but lilac is very nice too. I used to have the plain jane black elf, and I saw the other one too (kinda dark gold) and I think lilac is for me. One thing though, the white elfin has some kind of special enamel on it that makes it both shiny and slippery, and more resistant to cracks, and that would have been nice to have that in lilac because a lot of them get cracks on the upper left top corner.

How many colors the Desire has?

Guys, ..
I am really confused, .. I thought there are only two colors for the Desire, Silver and "Urban" Brown.
but check the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1226tVPqnw
The device color looks pitch black to me Is it really black or am I color blind?
P.S. I know that color-blind only effects Red, Green and Blue colors, .. right? Lol

Only 2, Silver and Dark Brown.

There's also a black desire:
http://androidcommunity.com/a-black-htc-desire-20100321/

Just seen a "black" version at E2save. In the picture on that site, even the band around the edge of the screen looks black, giving the whole unit a rather cheap appearance.

Oh 3 colors, ok, more colors give users more options, which is good i guess ... and I agree with you crazybones, .. the black one does not look special at all

Good spot. That's the same picture. I might hold off ordering until the colours in the UK distribution channels are known. Silver or brown look great, but the black is a No No!

The black Desires are all preproduction units. They also have a red ring around the camera.
The final versions are Urban Brown or Silver, although Silver looks grey plasticky cheap to me. I'm going for the brown one...

proper black looks the best i think, but if it wont be available im gettin the brown one

Are you sure of this claim? so there are not gonna be any official black versions? because as far as I know, even the Silver ones have not officially been announced or showed by HTC

this is a render from a long time back when the phone was only rumored to be in existence. That is not what the Desire looks like now. Even if there is a black one it wont look anything like this.

And if you look at the optical trackpad. You see it doesn't have button. And Tis button is needed to take pictures so I don't think there will be a black desire. They are just engineering samples.

I emailed Handtec today as it looks like their going to be the cheapest about the black HTC desire and this is what they said.
With regards to this the device will be sent from HTC direct, but we are unsure on the exact colour at the moment but it looks like it may be the black anyway, any other colours will be locked to networks and therefore not available sim free,
Looks like black may only be given if buying sim free which I'm planning too anyway

a lot of people confuse dark brown with black, ... so if i were you, i would ask them again, is it dark brown, or black? ... as most of the videos/pics of the unlocked Desire I saw contains dark brown, only one had black on it (and in the video they said its not a final device)

So what about GRAPHITE colour then guys? Is Graphite = Dark Brown or what? Cause on clove & handtec it says device colour is Graphite... I am confused as 2 which colour shall I choose when ordering...
K7

I emailled and called HTC today about (among other things) which colours would be available. The available colours depend on which country you are in and their customer service people could only go by the info on their website.
I have emailled their press people to get a definitive answer and will post a reply when they get back to me.

if you look at the video on youtube (italian review) it definitely looks grey/black. I reckon this is the graphite model as opposed to the urban brown. Handtec and clove have both updated their descriptions to say graphite now.

definition of graphite: n.
A soft, steel-gray to black, hexagonally crystallized allotrope of carbon with a metallic luster and a greasy feel, used in lead pencils, lubricants, paints, and coatings, that is fabricated into a variety of forms such as molds, bricks, electrodes, crucibles, and rocket nozzles. Also called black lead, plumbago.
if the *pencil* color is "Brown" ... than i have serious color-blind issues
here is a pic of the "actual" graphite, does the image look like more silver/gray or more dark/urban brown to you?
and here is a pic from a tech point of view to confirm
any more doubts?

Sony Ericsson MBW-150 OLED repairs

I have recently picked up a SE MBW-150 Music Edition... Just to be plagued with the super dim OLED screen issue.
From what I have read, there seems to be two major issues with these watches that are deal breakers for most people, as SE won't repair/replace your device unless it is still under warranty (kind of hard to do since they are out of production).
1) Battery issues. Status: solved, thanks to XDA members
2) Fading/dead OLED display. Status: doesn't appear that anyone has tackled this problem yet.
So, after being plenty pissed that the gift I had just bought myself was broken. I decided to get past it and make the best of it.... And take it apart.
--------------------------------------------------------------
If you don't like reading, start here.
The top part is just me being long winded.
--------------------------------------------------------------
There are two pieces of good news...
1) It still works after I got done snooping around inside and put it back together.
2) I think I have sourced replacement OLED displays.
I am waiting for the display panels I ordered to be shipped, and I will be the first guinea pig to see if my solution works.
After that (providing that everything goes well) I would be willing to offer repairs on a first come first serve basis for a nominal fee (cover parts, shipping, and buy me a beer lol).
--------------------------------------------------------------
If you don't like reading, stop here... Lazy.
--------------------------------------------------------------
So all in all, I really have some hope for extending the life of a product that all of us paid way to much for to get just enough life out of to get out of warranty. I really don't see how Sony Ericsson can do this to us in the first place, charge top dollar and then out right refuse to service them if they are out of warranty.
Once I get the panels in, I will post pics of before and after.
Hopefully after will be a pic of my MBW-150 Music with a working display... But there is always the chance of it being a pic of melted pieces, char marks, and bandages... Lets hope for the first one
--------------------------------------------------------------
30-Mar-2011 Update:
4-8 week for delivery of initial order of red oled displays.
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
31-Mar-2011 Update:
Added information on OLED displays I am trying
to work with. Link to post
--------------------------------------------------------------

This is very good news. My display went out too, but when I tried to take the watch apart something seemed to be catching, so I chickened out.
I'll be watching and waiting to see your results.

Just an FYI.
The displays I am getting are red OLED.
having the music edition, I wanted orange, like the OEM screen but I couldn't find them anywhere. Red seemed like it would semi match the color scheme.
The brightness rating was lower on red, but predicted lifespan was almost double that of the other colors.

The Executive that I have and the Classic both have white displays, so if you get it figured out, I hope you can get some of those too.

Just checked mfg datasheet. If the displays work out, white is available.

Thankkkk....... ...

count me in as a future customer, if your project goes good!

UPDATE FROM SUPPLIER:
4-8 Weeks for delivery.
UPDATE FROM ME:
Prices are looking good. My initial order was only two displays (one for the watch, and one in case I screw up). Total price with displays and shipping was just under $30 US.

Once I am certain that it will work, I will post all the info I have.
I'm not pulling a Sony and saying that I am not giving info out, just that I want to be sure that the info is actually correct first.

There's a set of 96x16 for $15 on Ebay; I was thinking they might be similar to the originals for my Executive edition (says blue). I haven't disassembled my 150 yet to see if they're the same display, but the specs mentioned hot bar contacts. My soldering skills wouldn't lend themselves to something like this, but definitely keep us posted on how this works. I would love to get my 150 working again. I hope you manage to solve this issue!

Just looked up the eBay one.
Those use a tab connector, not solder-on. And ribbon location is wrong. Good find though, I am constantly looking for alternatives in case mine won't work.

look at this it will help you I hope...

Already have that. But thanks.
Their internal photos are public through the FCC. But they applied for, and received, a permanent confidentiality status on the parts list. Which, from what I can tell, only screws us on the screen as all markings on the chips and other components are readily visible.

Been thinking about why I was holding back on specs for the displays I have on order...
Mostly holding back in case I was completely off the mark on these actually working, and didn't want to look like a dumb ass if it failed... But that doesn't make any sense, if it fails I will look like a dumb ass regardless of if people know what components I was using or not lol.
So, in the spirit of XDA, and getting things done as a community, here's what I am using.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclaimer!!! - I don't know if these will even work yet!
If you further break your broken watch by using these,
it is NOT MY FAULT. Proceed with caution.

More info.
While I had an electrical engineer in my office today, I decided to pick his brain on this whole project... his verdict was that he is certain that the Truly displays will work, which leaves the only potential issue left to be fitting the face of the display into the black plastic behind the face of the watch. (Hopefully it fits right in)
Awesome news?

Yeah it sounds like good .... I Hope it Works

Waiting with bated breath
Looking forward to hearing your results. And I thought I was a fan of the MBWs!
I have 3 of them, one with the dim oled.
Anyone know where to get a replacement band for the Classic?
Thank you!!

I have three of these myself, also one with the dim LED. In the OpenWatch thread, someone posted a link to replacement Music Edition bands here: http://www.gigatel.hu/G21654. It's not in English so I can't tell if they offer the other bands or not. Maybe they're the same anyway.
Someone else bought an aftermarket tan one that looks good: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7240435

I would be interested in repairs/replacement of OLED display as well as i have the executive edition and realize how important it is when it's NOT working properly!!!

White Galaxy S3 with Pebble Blue back!

Ever since I saw the Galaxy S3 announcement, I've had the idea to mix and match the two "all natural and made for humans" colours. So I got a white phone and started looking for a replacement back in blue. At first, it was impossible to get a pebble blue back without buying a new GS3. But eventually, I found one on ebay.
The cover I bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/380448215137
Here are the results for anyone who is curious to do this as well:

Thanks for giving it a go and sharing the results. You know what I think I like it! Distinctive but cool. Good effort!

Thanks, I'm interested in doing this.
I'm going to be annoying and complain, though... Why the extreme closeups? I'm really having problems seeing what it really looks like, I think your pictures are pretty bad quality! Are they taken in low light? Some of them look very yellow.
Better pics, please, mister Blurrycam? Thanks for your effort! (Sorry for complaining!)

So I found 2 sellers on ebay advertising this... do you mind sharing which one you got it from. Would rather run with a confirmed legitimate back cover. Cheers
And to the previous poster I'd hazard a guess it is damn hard to have a distance shot that captures the sheen/colour of the pebble blue especially in the same shot as white (too wide a contrast range) not to mention the brushed metal finish...

Might go the other way and get the white one for my pebble blue model
Linky please ?

I want to buy the original batterycovers aswell.. as backup . Could you provide us with a link where to buy these?

I can take some photos in better lighting once the sun is back. However, if I take a picture from a distance, it will just either look like an all white phone. The blue back isn't visible when I lay it down.
I don't have a real camera.. only a ton of phones. I took the pics with my Galaxy Nexus :x Maybe the Galaxy S IV will be good enough to photograph itself?
Anyways, I updated the thread to have a link to the buyer on ebay that I purchased from.

i agree. I can't tell how it really looks bc they are close up shots.

if youre going to take the time to do photos, at least make them so we can see what youre taking a picture of.
ive seen interest in this, bu have none myself. hope it satisfies others though.

You could take a photo of it with a mirror behind

Added a few better pictures, tried taking some with my GS2 instead of Nexus. Not that good, but it's the best I can do until I get some sunlight...

nice i like it

Weird! I would have liked the front to had some kind of bluish in the front to match or a custom back cover which will have some white/blue combination
sent with WSGS3

Looks odd but I love your efforts.

your phone reminds me a liger...

I want mine in red, white & blue!

Lighting really wasn't the issue...pull that camera back a little bit. Too close.

I never knew ZAGG had their name displayed visibly on their screen protectors. Weird.

S3
i love a unique phone, zedomax has a white phone with black screen and the home botton is white aswell. looks great although ide still prefer my original pebble blue.
i like to make programs and the looks of the phone unique rather then the outside i like it nice and simple on the outside and deadly in the inside hehe

Blue Coral: What it actually looks like and is it for girls?

For those of you who are pondering which color Note 7 to get, but thought the Blue Coral variation looked "girly," and you haven't yet seen it in person, this is the thread for you!
While I can't speak for the Silver Titanium version, as I have not yet seen it in person, I think that one is a pretty straight forward. Silver is an obvious color and you can probably guess what it will look like in person. If that's the color you're leaning towards, I say go for it! It simply wasn't for me, and for those reasons, I'll be ruling it out of this thread.
Now, I'll start by saying that I have always been a fan of the color black, especially when it comes to cellphones. Not only does black contrast the screen well, making it look almost invisible at night, but it also seems less likely(to me, anyway) to get dirty or show signs of wear than some colors. I know I had a white phone once, and by the time I was done with it, the thing was turning yellow.
The Black Onyx Note 7 is a very, very, dark black. It looks amazing, I'm not going to lie. I've seen it and held it in person, and it's a GREAT color. So, the purpose of this thread is not to discredit the Black Onyx variation, as that was my first choice. I was hellbent on getting it. In fact, I was prepared and willing to drive 3 hours to find one. However...
When it came time to purchase my Note 7 I searched AT&T's website for the Black Onyx variation for pickup in-store. Considering my old service was about to expire, I simply could not wait the 2 weeks it would've taken for them to ship one to me, as I would've had to pay another month for my other service, so in-store pickup was my only option. To my demise, I realized that there was no Black Onyx variation available in any of the nearest 50 AT&T stores. Heh, no problem, right? I'll just enter in a different zip code and... no. Needless to say, I searched the entire south-east coastline from New Orleans, across Mississippi, and all the way over to Mobile, Alabama. Not ONE store had the Black Note 7 in-stock.
Panicking, I contacted an online representative of AT&T. I asked, "HOW CAN I GET DIS PHONE? WUT I DO WRONG? PLS SEND ONE BI 2MORROW." Sadly, it didn't work that way. They told me that even though I'd get express shipping, it'd take over a week for Samsung to even have the phone ready to ship. Heartbroken, I assumed this was the end, and that I'd have to wait another month for the phone. After all, I wasn't having it any other way than Black Onyx. The silver was too bland for my taste, and the Coral Blue seemed a tad too girly, more like powder/baby blue to me. Mind you, I hadn't actually seen the blue variation yet, just pictures. So, the online representative notifies me that while I could not get the Black Onyx in the time I needed no matter what, nor the silver as that was also not available ANYWHERE, there WAS a Blue Coral variation available in a store about an hour away. I was devastated, and prepared to tell her that it wasn't an option, when she said: "You can get that one and then trade it in for the black version within 15 days of purchase, once the stores have restocked." WAT?! Ecstatic, I told her "yes!" and made my way to the store to pick up my "Pfft, blue" version of the Note 7.
I get to the store and explain my situation right away. "Hey, I'm here to pick up the Blue Coral Note 7, but I don't really want Blue Coral, I'm going to be returning it within the 15 day period to get my Black Onyx version, since I don't like any of the other colors." Right away, they notify me that if I'm doing it that way, I'll be paying a $45 restocking fee(thanks, AT&T online representative for "forgetting" to mention that part!) Defeated, and prepared to pay the $45 restocking fee a few days later for the black Note 7, I agree.
(TL;DR? / Get to the point? See below.)
To my excitement...
The Coral Blue Galaxy Note 7 looks NOTHING like it does in the pictures/videos. Every picture and video I have seen online displays a phone that is baby blue, light blue, powder blue, aqua blue, etc. However, up close and personal, that is not the case.
Firstly, pictures do not do this phone justice, AT ALL. The Blue Coral variation is actually a DARK BLUE. Not SUPER dark, but it's definitely dark, almost navy. However, it shines in a way I've yet to see on any smartphone. The best way to describe the color is more of a candy/metallic navy blue. The "silver" edges are actually quite deceiving as well. They are not REALLY silver. In lower lighting, they are actually sort of an amber red/gold. In high light, they do appear to be more silver than anything. This phone... is not girly... AT ALL! It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
I will say, however, that this would likely be the most preferred color among female consumers, but it is in no way limited to them, and I can guarantee you that this is a phone that was also made with males in mind.
As soon as I laid eyes on this phone, I made my decision: I would not be paying the $45 restocking fee and trading this out for Black Onyx. No way in hell. In fact... I would not trade this out for the Black Onyx even if it were FREE. Hell, I was hesitant to even make this thread, as I feel like I just discovered Samsung's best kept secret: the true color of the Blue Coral Note 7. This is probably the least popular of the three phones, and I am going on record here and saying that it's lack of popularity must literally be a result of the girly/baby blue appearance it has in pictures. I feel that it would easily be the most popular phone of the three if it were possible for pictures and videos to do this phone justice.
That said, I decided to come here to share this little secret with you all today. This is NOT a troll thread. This is the God's honest truth. I am in love with this phone, and you simply have to see it for yourself, IN PERSON, before making your decision to roll with black or silver. If you disagree with me, let me know, in the comments below. If you have questions, let me know, in the comments below. If you also purchased the Blue Coral Note 7 and were surprised by it's beautiful, darker candy/blue appearance or amber red/gold edges, let me know in the comments below.
Thanks for reading, and sorry for the long story, but I wanted to emphasize the fact that this phone looks NOTHING like it does in the pictures. Literally, NOTHING LIKE IT, and I was deceived, probably as well as many others. I hope this thread helped some people out!

Once you try coral blue, you'll never go back. No rhyme, just a fact Jack!

Team coral blue

I was on the fence about it. Said screw it and got it. I really like it. It doesn't look girly at all, which was my biggest question as well. Glad I didn't get just another black phone.

I got the blue coral because the silver was a fingerprint magnet and I got tired of black phones.
I think the color is cool looking. Changes based on lighting.
The edges are Rose Gold and look almost copper in sunlight.
Very good looking combo.

Real men get Black Onyx.

I almost got the Blue Coral at Best Buy, then the guy told me it had been reserved as I was standing in line! No more Note 7's were in stock. As I was about to go home they double checked and 10 black onyx were delivered. So I got the black, but that blue looks pretty damn sweet.

I have both the Blue Coral and the Black, I will return one once I make up my mind but I find that I keep my SIM in the Blue most of the time. I would say either color is a winner, Black has been the only color I have had with a smartphone and I think it's time for a change PLUS the Blue is very cool looking and after all variety is the spice of life

I'm so gay (happy) with this phone

Thanks! It was tough. Had to use my note 4 on some of them. So many retakes and deleted scenes lol. The desk ones are still too blue IMO.

I love the Coral Blue! Its a nice!

It's not the Blue... It's the Pink sides.
Oh wait, the Rose Gold *cough*
jk
It looks nice. I picked one up today... for my woman.
She loves it......
And so should you guys

Wild that you say that it was the only color available. I actually got the silver. I had to order it because all the stores in the area were out. They had a corral blue display model and i liked it but when I said to order the blue one the store rep told me that the corral blue and black were the most popular colors and I would probably have to wait longer because everyone at their store was ordering the corral blue and the computer showed longer backorder wait times so I went with the silver.

I saw this the other day and thought it was a good depiction of the different varieties of blue that the cb note serves up.
