Develop Bugs

My Vouge is going bye bye.

'nuff said.

Bell doesn't have any android phones.
So I run it from my vogue..

Good luck!

Same here. Verizon says they are releasing two Android phone by the end of the year so I'm gonna wait to see what the other one is but by the end of the year I'll be using an Android phone. Tired of running it on my slow Vogue

man I saw that commercial today, I want one SOO bad.... too bad bell sucks for phones

Rumors seem to be that the second Motorola Android phone will be the forgotten Calgary, which some had thought to have changed into the Sholes/Toa/Droid. Leaked pictures of the Calgary shows a step down from the Droid, but the back indicates that it will include MotoBlur, as apposed to the Droid's "with Google" label. If that's the case, I will more than likely get the Droid for myself, and get the Calgary for my wife.

Unless there's something show-stopping about the Droid's default firmware, I'm sure we'll be able to just throw SenseUI or MotoBlur onto it without much trouble.
But yeah. I'm getting the Droid, hands down. Surely it won't be more than $200 on contract, right?

Finally a phone with a good UI and good hardware for Verizon. I can't wait to get one of these.

Don't hold your breath... Verizon will find some way to cripple it... they always do.
They are the masters at taking an otherwise great phone and stripping out the useful features and just "dumbing it down" in general

My roommate has the Hero, I am not very impressed. Very slow processor, even though it has the same as the vogue it runs really slow. The open source operating system is great (he has tons of free apps and games), doesn't quite make up for the processor. The capacitive touch screen isn't any where near the iphone either. Wait for the HTC Leo, that is when everything will change, 1 ghz processor makes me salivate.

I agree with navy, the Leo, which is set to come out in early 2010, is the iphone killer.

i think our android hero ports for the vogue run just as good if not better than the hero

Should i switch?

Right now i have a Blackberry Bold (9000) & i have had WM phones in the past...I have been looking at the new Tilt it i like the phone but i wanted to know a few things before i get it.
1. Will it be able to use the new WM7?
2. Is the phone any good when it comes to texting & emails?
3. What are the key features to this phone?
I have also saw that you can put Android on the phone. How does that run?
Sorry i just wanted to know a few things before jumping into the phone.
Thanks!

1. From what I've read, it will not be able to upgrade to Windows Mobile 7, but from what we've seen why would you want it anyway.
2. The keyboard is the best out there. Text and email is a breeze.
3. Best user community out there. Phone can do anything I need it to and if it can't someone will build something to enable it (Android for one)
4. Android is out there. I run it on my phone, but it is in it's infancy. check out rhodium android in the wiki to find what's working and what isn't.
I'm not an expert, just a regular guy that uses my phone for regular stuff. Good luck with your phone decision. Hope I was of some help.

Thanks alot for the feedback.
I think i will be going back to a WM phone... I have one more question i forgot to ask...???
1. How is the App Store?

app store sucks but as you know there are tons of wm apps that are scattered everywhere on the net

The TP2 will not get an official WP7 upgrade. The phone's processor is too slow, wrong button layout, and no capacitive screen. WP7 requires a capacitive screen (multi-touch) and a 3 button layout (including a dedicated "Bing" search button) on the front of the phone, and MS is being very strict about these requirements. Somebody on XDA will cook something for the TP2, but don't expect anything official.
If you use your phone heavily for work, the TP2 has a great speakerphone. I love the feature of just turning the phone over, and it switches automatically to speaker phone (with a hardware mute button!). Also, the ability to tether is very useful, if you travel frequently.

I wouldn't even worry about the WP7. I highly doubt this thing will be that great right off the bat. I'm not even intrigued by most of it. I highly recommend the tilt2 and you know that if you ever have problems, you always have this forum to fall back on. So much customization is possible with this phone, and that extent of customization for the WP7 will not be available for quite a while after those phones start coming out.

I think the tp2 is awsome but since i know there are a few WM device coming out right around the corner with snapdragon processors I would probably wait on them unless u need to get a new device asap.

Do NOT base your decision on this or expect this. This will most likely not happen since it is a completely different OS and kernel and would require completely new drivers.
You might want to try one out before getting it. The processor in this phone is the same one that they used for the previous generation and that is just a higher clocked version of the processor used in the generation before. It is pretty slow and takes about 4 seconds to load a text message conversation. That is pretty slow for a bunch of text.
If the speed is acceptable, then its a pretty nice device.

Wasn't that the case when Android came along though? But, I do agree that even if wtfomgwm7sp7 ever does get ported to the TP2, it won't be a pretty picture, kinda like that kid at the birthday party who tried to stuff the entire piece of cake in his mouth at once

That actually sums it up quite well...the TP2 isn't quite the bleeding edge of whats available in smartphones today, but you just have to decide if that (minor) level of compromise is justified to you by getting the sweetest hardware keyboard there is, period.* For some it is, for some it isn't.
*pure, unqualified, unapologetic opinion

What Phone Will Make You Ditch Your Touch Pro 2 For Good?

Ive Had My Touch Pro 2 For A Year And Some Change. Ive Had Some Fun Modding And Androidding It (LOL) But Its Time For Me To Move On To A Faster Phone That Will Take On WinMo 7 And Have A Business Phone On The Side. I Will Be Moving Over To The HTC Leo Forum (HTC HD 2) Next Week When T-Mobile Releases It And I Will Have A BB 9000 As My Backup.How Many Of You Are Moving On Soon? And To What Phone/PDA? Will You Keep Your Touch Pro 2 As A Backup? Yes? No? Why?

No matter what phone I move to and when, the one thing I'm going to hold on to is the keyboard from my TP2....I fully intend to frankenstein it onto any device I may use in the future
Point being....I won't be changing devices until (unless) somebody releases another WM unit with specs at least as strong as the HD2, AND a keyboard as good as the TP2's. 'Till then, I'll be happily thumb-dancing away, Rhodium-style!!

Me And My Friend Was Talking Yesterday And He Said He Wants The Touch Pro 3 To Be The HD2 Screen/Specs With The Touch Pro 2 Keyboard. I Think That Would Make Me Come Back. But The Touch Pro 2 Is Not Fast Enough For Me. I Wish It Could Be Overclocked.

HTC Desire already preordered...
I'll certainly miss the awesome hardware keyboard and tilting screen.
Problem with the TP2 is not the hardware for me. It's just WinMo. I've been on this platform ever since my Touch Dual a couple years ago and I know it's very capable. But the platform is outdated.
I hope WinMo7 turns out to be as revolutionary as M$ claims it will be. In the meantime, I'll be jumping ship to Android for now...

The Nexus One did it. I sold my X1 for a tilt2 after the t-mobile only Nexus one was announced. It took about 45 minutes for me to pick up one of the AT&T Nexus Ones after it was announced today. I've been running Android recently to see how I liked it, and it wins for me over WinMo.

I'm willing to adopt any Windows Phone Series 7, keyboard or not. I say calm down on all the phones now, b/c the whole landscape as we know it will be changed by 1/1/11..
but yeah, this elusive TP3 would be nice..since a WPS7 phone can have a keyboard as seen by the LG, hopefully they're holding off for that..

im going to consider an hd2 in the future. i was thinking to get it much sooner, but ill wait a bit for the prices to come down. the tmo version has a really low price and should lower the price of the t9193. if i do, i will miss the keyboard and the speaker. but damn, that screen. it could make an iphone user commit suicide.

That could only be proven with thorough, extensive testing. And then more testing. In fact, here, let me give you a hand with that

I am actually considering the AT&T compatible Nexus One. If it had a keyboard I wouldn't have to even think about it.

I am torn between the HD2 and the Desire. I haven't given up on WinMo yet, although I am disheartened by what I have seen of Windows Phone 7.
I also have a Toshiba TG01 which, although a flawed device, has convinced me that my next phone must have a 1GHz Snapdragon or better.

HD2
I definitely need something with a little more processor, so I've been thinking about the HD2. I will miss the keyboard some, but I've got so used to using swype, I don't think I'll miss it that much.

I really like my TP2, but I've even more so loved the Android OS - even though it doesn't totally work. If I could get an Android OS phone, with front cam, back cam, wifi, BT, FM radio w/ RDS, and a physical kb, I'd sell the TP2 in a heartbeat. I'm so over the winmo OS, and the new microsoft version doesn't look any better. Android OS please!

I love my Rhodium tooooooooo much to move onto another device.
When the time comes to renew my contract I'll probably get an HD2.
But I'll use my Rhodium as a phone. And the HD2 as a toy

i like my tp2. but as soon as us cellular gets something with more speed and not windows 7. ill be jumping ship. prob to android. ive read all the findings at mix 10 on windows 7. and i will be goin to android. windows 7 looks great. but its lockd down. and all they stopped us from doing with it. its not worth the wait. so bye bye wmo.

T-Mo HD2 next week will be replacing my TP2 which replaced my G1 which replaced my Wing.
Looks like a 6 month cycle.

I wish VZW would come out w/ the HD2...I might go with the Nexus one or this thing:
http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/Saygus-Vphone-phone-pa_4463.html
I also like the HTC Incredible for vzw, it looks like HD2 hardware w/ android. Most likely i'll keep the keyboard and go w/ a saygus if anything (although chances are I wont get a new phone)

I keep looking at the Droid. Figure I'll wait a few months, see what shakes out with (if) the 6.5 update, and then move over to the Droid. I'm out of contract now with Sprint, and they don't seem particularly to care if people leave.

I am getting the HD2 for sure, I will keep my TP2 just to mess around with it but I have tested the Tmo HD2 a few times at my local store and I love it. I am just watching the time tick by until next Wednesday and I will be joining you in the NRG HD2 forum

TP3 only!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have until Summer 2011 before I can upgrade my Touch Pro 2, bear in mind though I kept my Tytn II for 3 and a half years because nothing else fitted form factor wise. I like the fact my screen tilts and the keyboard is phenomenal. It may be a while after my upgrade date it may not be, not forgetting that by then WP7 Series should have fixed all the alleged release issues such as no multi-tasking and no copy and paste, no side loading 3rd party apps, no full USB connectivity, no sd card loading......the list of faults with WP7 series so far is shocking.

Flash WinMo 6.x.x to EVO

Hi all,
i know is too early to say but do you guys think we would be able to override the android partition with a winmo 6.x install?
me personally i think that device is wonderful according to the specs and pictures I've seen but again i love WinMo i cant see myself without it. i ditched the TP2 from sprint waiting for a snapdragon WinMo phone but that doesn't seem to be the case now since they've announced the EVO running on Android. Android is one heck of an OS but i preferred WinMO 6.x series, not even WinP 7 Series it is cool and all that but i don't think i'm ready to drop WinMo 6.x or Windows Phone Classic just yet.
i know it is almost impossible because of CDMA drivers support.
what do you think guys ?

Do you have an HD2? If not, buy one of those instead. If you do, then apart from the 8MP camera and the extra memory, you already have the WinMo version of it.

No indication that there's going to be an HD2 that runs on Sprint in the US. I would say there's a 0% chance that anyone will put WM 6.5 on the EVO, due to hardware compatibility and (frankly) a lack of interest.

I would love winmo on my future Evo, but I agree the effort involved would be immense and for very little return.

thanks for your responses guys, all of them make sense but again this was from a personal point of view, i just can't spend $500 for a device with ancient specs and with a keyboard, when there is a HD2 with WinMo around there that cost the same but GSM counterpart not CDMA(sprint). my dilemma here is leave or not leave sprint, i love sprint Plans and services but not the phones, lol.

HD2 officially announced for T-Mo yesterday, so at the very least, that's an option. It's not on Sprint though (although T-Mo plan is on par with Sprint's).

lol, i love android; i dual boot my sprint diamond with WinMo-6.5.3 and android eclair. it's just that for some weird reason i feel attracted by WinCE, lol. seriously i don't want to give up on WinMo yet i find it fun to use and so far it does everything i need.

I am looking forward that HTC will release the EVO 4G in Win6.5.xx version very much soon. I am using TD2 and TP2 but the HD2 turns me off. One of the reason why I am not interested at all with HD2 was because the HD2 do not have front camera and support dual screen video call which I use all the time over here. And the other reason for me staying away from Android phone is because I can't hacked the Garmin Mobile XT for my AGPS needs at the moment.
This EVO4G has the optimum hardware but I really need the OS and softwares for my needs.
Does anyone knows how to install Garmin Mobile XT on this EVO4G?

winmo is going the way of the Dodo in my opinion...and the OP not liking sprint phones? they are going to thave the first 4G device in the country, and have some of the best phones on the market...what's not to like?

true that but again compared to other carriers their phone lineup kind of sucks, all i wanted was a variant of the tp2 without the keyboard maybe a sprint version of the whitestone but they went big with a 4g hd2 running android, where is the love for winmo users?

The 4g is entirely in the soft ware.
So with this phone if you put winmo on it you wouldnt get the 4g.
No android, no 4g.

It is hard enough to port Android to a winmo device, let alone the other way around!

Not going to happen
Sorry dude but Microsoft is shutting down all windows mobile related operations soon,even they realize it is time to move on. Plus when the xdandroid project started, they already had harret to work with. I dont know of any simmalar software for android. Another barrier you will face is the fact that windows mobile is not open source where as android is. But the main reason you wont see it being worked to heavily on is the face that no one realy wants windows mobile as an operating system anymore. For example I was proud to have a Touch Pro back when the iPhone 3G came out. I pointed out all the flaws to my friends and they went off and used one of their apps to help them pout. However, android is now almost a modern version of windows mobile, there realy isnt anything you can do on windows mobile that you cant do on android. (except boot non-native OSs )

triboot
In light of today's hd2 wp7s news dare we hope for a phone that could boot all three? Could that even remotely be possible?

I'm a WM6 power user. I've tried Android, but i prefer WM call it what you want. It may be a dead or eyesore to most but i would not buy any phone w/o WM6.5.x. I'm willing to pay for a rom that would intall WM6.5 to the EVO. I think i'm not the only one.

You're not the only one!

Count me in!!!

I am in the transition process from sprint/tp2 to tmobile/hd2 myself. I am still within my 14 days buyer's remorse period, and still undecided whether or not I am going to keep the HD2 and say goodbye to Sprint.
For some reason, I feel like the HD2 is going to be the last great (or at least comparable---HW specs-wise) WinMo6.5 device. BUt at the same time, I think that *IF* any device is going to be able to TRIPLE boot OS's...its probably going to be the HD2! An android port I think is inevitable, and WP7 port i think is highly probable...especially considering all the geniuses we have around here @XDA! *Crosses Fingers*
Some would say my paying full price for a device with a "dying OS" is silly...especially with the Evo just around the corner!!! But Android is not something I am ready for or comfortable with right now. I like the idea behind the OS, but i do not like or appreciate it's execution, invasiveness nor immaturity. And I dont even wanna get started on the degradation that is WP7!

HTC Rhodium still useful in an iPhone/WP7/Android era.

I still love my Cricket flashed TP2 (Sprint) and enjoy customizing it in fact. Very flexible like the HD2 and the keyboard is still one of the best in the industry. Anyone still using theirs today?

This piece of Krapp Fone (yes with a K), its freakin slooooooooooooooowwwww. I use to think iphone 3G's was inferior back in 09. I still have my rhodium I honestly would love to use my sledge hammer, and cripple the dam thing!!! but if i can make $50 bucks of it, I'll be happier. couldn't stand memory leak issue with Windows mobile. 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...

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 ;-)
