Why is that a waste?
I'm seventeen and I own a TP2.
i see people with TP2/tilt2's all the time.
A girl i know used to have one but she switched to BlackBerry because it was too slow/buggy for her. She was running stock rom and i didn't have time to flash it for her.
I saw a girl with Sprint Touch Pro2 while I was waiting to be seated at a steakhouse. Her phone had the stock UI, and much to my surprise it looked quite speedy compared to my tricked out Tilt2 with 2.5 manila ....
Should not have that attitude, I feel happy that young people have Rhodium´s
That means this great device is not only for buisness people
I'm 16 and I have a Rhodium (but I'm a male...)!
I haven't seen anyone else here in the SF Bay Area with a TP2. I keep seeing stupid little Sidekicks (some girls are now switching to the G1; one of my friends says she doesn't want the MyTouch3G because there's no keyboard)...and iPhones.

I'm not sure that they really for business people. My misses dad lives in the Middle East and is regional president for a large multi national engineering company and they won't support the TP2. Blackberry's the one.
However, saying that my misses has a horse and at the yard where she keeps it all the 12yr old girls have blackberries. She asked one why and the reply came "I just like them, I've always liked them".
Maybe her school's got an Exchange Server lol

rotfl lmao! wow htc is an awesome country but you gotta understand kids only like what they see and if they are not seeing htc....then they wont like it. they gotta see their mentors or teen idols have it. i used to be a treo guy. 650 thru 800w....i cant see myself leaving tp2. but hey what would i do with my free time if a phone did everything i wanted out of the box?
Haha. Same here. I was going out, and was like aight time to show chicks the master phone Touch Pro 2...
"hey I have that one also"
...damnit!
I didn't mean to focus solely on the age thing. But you youngins are probably tweaking the **** out of your phones. I don't want a 16 year old girl getting my phone and just using it to text her ditzy friends with one of the best WinMo phones ever (so far). She should have an iPhone with stick-on bling.
I like that the TP2 is an adult phone!!!

Oh, okay. I understand what you're talking about.
I know how you feel...I see (though rarely) people at school with 'old' WM phones like the HTC Raphael and I saw someone with an Omnia. I also see a lot of Android phones now...It does seem like a waste seeing these people getting $500 phones solely to look cool with a touch screen phone and texting people.
I even have a friend, who used to own a T-Mo Dash3G, and he never even knew he could edit Word Docs on his phone! He now has an iPhone 3Gs!
Well, we just have to tolerate it...at least we know our phones are appealing to many people. Besides, it's their money!

Do I know I can edit a Word doc? Sure. Would I ever? Not a chance
But it sounds like your friend found a phone fitting him.
I dont know what defines as an adult phone. I have a Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2 and iPhone 3G, i feel as much of an adult with any of these phones.
I know alot of young people like to show off their new phones to friends and stuff, however I believe adults somewhat do the same as well. If you dont care about the aesthetics of a phone (HD2, TP2, iPhone, Moto Droid are good looking phones)), then you'd just get a blackberry strictly for business use.
haha that's kind of funny, I have a hard time thinking about someone getting this just to use everything stock. I'm only 15 and the main reason i got this was because of all the things i could do to tweak it and make it a lot more cool. Don't feel too bad about young people owning this phone, I wouldn't if I were you. Nowadays a lot younger crowd is able to grip to these smartphones, nothing wrong with that.
lol Adult phone. What is an adult anyway ? I once read that to truly be an adult both your parents have to be dead.
Anyway, what's the difference between some 15yr old with a TP2 and most owners of desktop PCs? Neither uses the machine to anywhere near it's full potential. I mean do you really need that monster quad core for writing emails and .docs ? Me thinks not !
It's not about what people need, it's about what they want. And that's where marketing comes into play
LOL.... Totally know what you mean.
It must have blown your mind to see another TP2 owner, let alone a 16 year old girl with it.
Not exactly the demographic HTC was targetting, but it's cool that 'regular' people are starting to take notice of HTC's PRO series products.
hmpf. Only 2 people out of like hundreds have recognised my phone. Most people are like "is that an iPhone"... I have never been so insulted.
I too feel a certain level of insult when someone mistakes my TP2 for an iPhone. I'm always like, "No man this isnt a toy it's the tilt2 aka TP2 aka current god of cell phones!" You hand it to them and laugh as they stumble through the menus never truly appreciating the TP2 for its worth only to hand it back and say, "Oh it's nice but I like iphones." Makes me want to give them the heavy hand of justice every time

I would personally wait for Nokia WP7, Thats when you'll see some good hardware / camera etc...
I bought mine two weeks ago. It is not perfect, i'll not lie. But it is the OS that I like most (I have iPhone 4 and Droid too). Android is laggy, even with overclock, and it feels.. like a beta. Worse, Alfa version. Everything is smooth and pretty in WP7.
I was willing to wait for Nokia devices, but i read that Nokia will only release one phone this year. And seriously, I don't trust Nokia. I don't want to buy Nokia's test phone, and I don't want to wait until next year.
Just buy it already, and join us

For 3 iterations, I've always said android feels incomplete. Even on the tablet side, android feels very incomplete and I guess this has made OEMs feel like they can do what they will to cover android's shortcomings - specifically in their management of OS, fragmentation, and acceleration.
The iphone felt finished to me - even if I didn't like the iphone platform at all. Everything just worked and ran quite effectively. It was cohesive and central when it was released.
What I enjoy about windows phone is that it carries the cohesion of apple, and totally ramps it up full blast making it an incredible platform to code on, experience, and use on a daily basis.
I do miss flashing custom roms for one reason - I HAVE A DELL VENUE PRO and so far its one of the most closed wp7 devices on the market! Period! But even then, the only thing I want is root access to the registry. Not so much optimize much because the os is damn good as is.
Are there limits to windows phone 7? Sure all platforms have limits. But I think in time windows phone will definitely be a household name. All it really needs is good advertising at this point.
My biggest issue with WP7 right now is not the missing featurs, but rather the lack of quality hardware. That having been said, the Samsung Focus is very nice. It takes amazing pictures. The screen is big and beautiful. It is sleek, and has long battery life. My only complaint is how slick the plastic is. Would have been nice to have a more rubbery texture to it or something.
Like every OS WP7 has its cons and pro's but to me it's just the experience as a whole that stands out to the rest. I'd certainly recommend a WP7 device to everyone who wants to buy a smartphone. Certainly the one's who owned an Android device before like myself.
I'm happy with my Trophy. I love the hardware. Have a nice grip, and an awesome screen. Not too large, nor too small. It's just the perfect size to me.
The plastic doesn't feel cheap, and doesnt look cheap. I recommend. And it is worth a look.
Thanks for feedback ... I use the following apps remote desktop, facebook,Twitter,slingplayer,navigation and need a good quality camera .... I'm looking at the apps market to see if I can find any apps like this..... I was disappointed to see no flash for browser....

LG Quantum == great hardware
I love my LG Quantum.
I need a keyboard for business emails. I sometimes write mails on it longer than I do at my desktop computer. Try that on the on-screen keyboard.
But, if I just have a few words, the on-screen is fine. And the word-correct is amazing on WP7.
Friends at work have Samsung Focus and love it. Most people DON'T need over 8GB of flash, because with ZunePass, one can stream what one doesn't have, and then just download what they want to keep.
WP7 really is GREAT STUFF, and getting better with time.
Enjoy Windows Phone 7!

this is a really silly question, ppl who like android will tell you no and ppl who like wp7 will ask you to move....
this is really very personal... its like you asking ppl what car should i buy
you should buy if you like wp7 not because ppl think u should buy...
best thing you can do is go play with different devices in the store and see which one you like better.
WP7= fast and smooth, works out of the box great.
Android= very versatile, but does have some lag and might require some tweaking to get the best out of the device.
Just depends on what you are looking for.

+1 on this. I read an article in another post and it has me holding off a WP7 purchase for now. 5-reinstal limit on paid apps! Hell no! It aint worth it if that's how it's gonna be. At least being a smartphone it will have all the common features on phones these days, but the 5-limit will kill it for me.
Dam a limit ... well well..... that's no to wp7 .. thanks for letting me know about that

No offense dude but until I see oficial word from microsoft that it aint true, I'm gonna hold back.
Well for me - yes and no.
If you don't care so much about features than WP7 is in many ways great.
But for me after 3 months of extensive usage - I start to have enough of stupid limitations. In March we will get only c&p and no other functionality enhancements.
I like how this WP7 behaves but it's totally unfinished product.
I rather accept a little choppiness but have all the features than use super fluent skeleton.
BTW this WP7 super fluent behaviour is a little myth. I see little freezes all the time.
More I think of it I see myself getting Android device soon. I don't care if it is "choppy", what is kinda BS TBH. I saw many current strong Androids which are smooth.
And they have oh so much more to offer right now. Sad but true.
I can't even buy apps and nobody knows WHEN this will be possible. And so on.
It will take a year or more to bring WP7 to desired state and I think some of the very useful features will not be supported ever.
Sorry for the rant but after the joy of using something nice has worn off, I just more and more miss features which are cruical for me and it's more than one thing.
I imagine getting SE Arc....
But I still didn't "give up". WP7 is still a great foundation.

If you've been using Android especially with Sense I don't see how you could ever switch to WP7. I have an HTC Incredible and I bought an HTC Surround to play around with a week ago. The Surround has already been sold. After using Android for years WP7 seems like a joke right now. It is almost closer to a feature phone than a smartphone. I was going to keep it just to use as a Zune and for the Xbox Live features. My original Zune 30GB is 5 times the music player a WP7 phone is. The Xbox live stuff...I'm playing a game, let me switch to something else for a second...Go back to the game, wait loading? Oh yeah, no multitasking.
Maybe if you were coming from a feature phone WP7 might seem nice, but it is far behind Blackberry, Android, and iOS. Even my Samsung Blackjack with WM 6.1 was far more usable. It sucks because I am a Microsoft fanboy. I love my Xbox, my Zune, Windows 7, etc. But WP7 is pretty bad I thought.
So I showed my phone off to a friend and she loved it. She was a Blackberry user and loved how fluid my phone is and it's feature set. For the record I have a Samsung Focus.
She came to me today with her brand new phone "just like mine" and was wondering how to make the screen look like mine does. I looked at her phone and she bought an iPhone 4...
/sigh
She thought for sure my phone had to be an iPhone because who else is there?
I wonder if this lack of knowledge will be the doom of WP7...
it's like how people want to know the difference between an ipod and an mp3 player.
blame the retailers. and blame us geeks for knowing too much.
To OP......guess you didn't pass on enough info to your friend. I have a mate who after playing with my HD7 ditched his iPhone & bought an HD7 the next day. I keep passing on info about updates to him as coming from iPhone it's obvious to him a lot of features he's been used to are currently missing. Guess we've gotta keep flying the flag for this wonderful OS until MS catch up.

I told her multiple times it was a Windows phone. I guess it just didn't sink in. I have gotten over ten new WP7 users at work and 3 friends jumped on it out of work. I am doing my part! lol
A lot of the doctors I work with think anything Microsoft is evil and Apple is righteous (how backwards they have it) so converting them is a challenge but I am working on it.
Here come to all retards at my school, who have iPhone. They can sing out loud the song "Windows Phone sucks, iPhone rocks" for all day... Since i am the only one in the school have the Windows Phone.
The lacks of understanding the different between Windows Mobile 6.5 and Windows Phone 7, also some missing features , make they feel good about their iPhone.
My Friend also proud of his iPhone because his Fruit Ninja version run smoother than the Windows Phone version and that mean my phone sucks! LMAO...
Even i show them the correctly example of how Windows Phone 7 beat the crap out of iOS4 in speed and multi-tasking, they just tell me to shut up and they don't even care because they know the iPhone is the best! LOL...
Not only me, even Android user at school be blamed about this too...
The respond that i hear about my phone usually : "Okay, that's cool, but your phone sucks d*** "
I have nothing to tell them because they are all retarded, they don't even know what the different between Megabyte and Gigabyte is...

Tell her to return the iPhone and take her yourself to get a new WP7... or there are ways to make the iPhone look like the WP7

Did you tell her to take it back?
Yeah, I suggested she bring it back.
I think her reality matrix is blown right now though. How could a non-Apple product be so much better?! The commercials say that's not right!?
Everyone who looks at my phone asks me if it is a iPhone. Like mentioned before they only seem to know about Blackberry and Apple. Unless they are of a younger age they usually are not familiar with Android products either.
I was in a Panda Express watching a baseball game on my phone through Slingplayer. A woman commented on how awesome that app was and how its so neat what you can do on iPhones these days.

I've lost count of the number of times someone has accused my HD7 of being a bloody iPhone.
I always take great pains to correct them and to point out the iPhone is merely a minority interest in the great pool of smartphones out there. Apple have less than 50% of the smartphone market, therefore if you see someone with a smartphone, the chances are it is NOT an iPhone.

What Jim said is accurate. The iPhone's marketshare is in the minority in the smartphone sales. But boy that is a surface analysis of the market.
The iPhone is the best selling smartphone in 2010. If someone was interested in walking around with multiple smartphones from the same maker then I would see the point of citing marketshare.
I could understand if you owned a Samsung Galaxy device and it be mistaken for an iPhone, but not an HTC. When you see the UI you would have to see the difference immediately.
This discussion is pointless anyway.

Hello,
I think XDA is the biggest Smartphone Community in the whole world,so why we don't make
a XDA Phone?
Designed and developed by XDA
We can make our "dream phone",our Rom,our parts!
I don't have so much ideas for the design,maybe someone has one^^.
Some parts
Rockchip
I know what sounds a bit crazy,but I think we have enough really good Developers and Engineers.
No offence , but your username makes me suspect the credibility of this thread .
Herpderp Backflip.
I actually had a quite wild thought about such thing too. I hope this will workout
Sadly I dont think we have the man power to get an actual phone going. We would be better off just asking an OEM to design a phone with such and such specs and design software around it.
Phone + XDA Sticker = Profit??
Sticker+Phone,not the best^^
Then the Chinese can make phones,we can do it,too!
Maybe we can contact a chinese Factory and ask them,so we produce cheap.
And maybe we don't have enough man power,but if we all work together as one person we will make it happen!
Design=easy
Parts=difficult
I think we have to make the design first,when we know which parts we can put in.
Big Phone=good parts
Small Phone= tiny=worse parts!
I'm not really good with product design (don't wonder I only make lines xD),but I think we can make it just like the Xiaomi M1 or Meizu MX 4
and we also have to see what the produce fair!
No child work,save working,getting enough paid (for me one of the most important things)!
this will never happen.

Such a long shot.
really? how much % of the world smartphone users population care or even know about XDA forum?
In Germany 80-90%,but we can make adds on some websites,just like Huawei do it in XDA
And I contacted Rockchip:
They want for the RK2918 150€=193$ per 10.000 mobile phones.
And I know what is a crazy plan,but think how it would be if we have our one phone:
Always updates,rooted and all that stuff,no one has to tell us the rules,beacuse we make them!
P.S.:I'm really happy that high ranked members are interseted for this!
Thanks!
I'd really love this idea. Have had it in my mind for quite a while.
If it would happen (God bless that) I would really love it to have a big NAND and the possibility to have multiple OSes installed in NAND Like WP7, Android and WinMo haha Just thoughts thou, but a better version of the HD2 is like the mother of all mobile hardware as long as it keeps the possibilities
Yes we can!
You know what .... this is such a freaking sick idea!!
You know what else? any one who says it cant be done should dif!!
Can I do this? No. I suck. Also time factor being a slave etc.
BUT you are going to tell me as a community we cant come together and make this happen? THIS.... THIS I would donate for.
IF A SINGLE LOWLY NOBODY can bild a freaking ipad....
WE CAN build an xda phone! WOW ! imagine what a revolution!
INstant gratifacation? doubtfull! But... imagine....building a phone that outperforms, outsells and out does everyphone....
A phone based on a community not on some GREEDY corporation.
YES it may cost A LOT. maybe even like 800$. or more.
BUT you could garuantee it not being obsolete for at least 5 years?
10,12 16 mp camera? quad core? How bout a phone based on pc design meaning, the phone is a shell, mother board, chips, internal memory can all be updated? even screen can be swapped for an updated version?
OMG the possibilities are endles!
MacGyver hardware phone!!! hells yeah!
Imagine... the demise of the iphony by the sword of xda!
I say bs to anyone who says this cant be done?
You cant telll me there are no members here who dont have lucrative funds to back this development
Jeez reverse engineer all the best phones and make it a super phone!
SEE? See? See, god, I told you should let me win the lottery! Now how am I gonna fund this superfantubulastical idea!! Well guesse i gotta sell my soul now....HEY! Satan! can I talk to you for a sec....
This will not and should not ever happen.
Not feasible.
Not needed.
XDA is a development forum not a brand.

3) ???????
4) Profit
forget the phone, I just want a t-shirt...
I think that would be realy cool. It would be realy nice if we could get an Android phone that comes with root and an open bootloader right out of the factory. I actualy think there would be a market for that.
Would probably be hard, but it would be possible. You cant make it on your own but you could surly find a company in china that woul make the hardware. And xda could make the software.
I think the problem is that we would need quiet some money to get started.

i would only buy it if it had a serious SoC, like exynos or tegra 3, i wouldn't use snapdragon because the adreno GPU is a joke and the rocketchip looks cheap but i woud be in favor of a large NAND from multiple OS's but WinMo and WP7 wouldn't work as it's illegal to put them on anything that dosen't come with it but we could possibly put meego or the teizen, bada love child as long as it's open-sourced
Quite a brilliant idea actually, like those limited edition phones with maximized specs. Perhaps to use as a development phone perhaps? )
I'm doubting there'll be someone who wants to lead this project..
Hoping for it tho
You get a phone that is a standard but you also watch what others do with the standard.
BTW you don't need good headphones that last or that can compete.
I enjoy, CM9 and all roms but I don't get why everyone says it's "awesome" or "amazing" when you wont notice the actual difference until after using it for a day or two? Which normally people post it and want it the second it's released.
"I want new features (Galaxy S III "hand gestures")
It's all the same and depends on the setup.The kernel, rom , hardware ect... not trying to be a **** but those words attract "Myself". i'm a fool but i only get to decide for myself and normally it takes a day or two to realize my personal preferences. And figure out who is "amazing" when stock is the same.
"OOOOhh Yeeeahh" Rooot accseess where is my linux built in...? I will learn some day for now you can kick my ass for talking ****".!
This rom is awesome reminds me of why i flashed three or four "different" rom's to my phone to come across a "amazing one". actually i've flashed so many roms to many "different" phones to find this out.... which is why i'm writing this.. sense before i joined these words made me realize i need to ask this question.
Why use the words amazing or sweet. or awesome? is it some low level marketing trying to catch users? cuz they are like blam flashed this its sweet amazing fast. If you don't understand fragmentation then you don't understand android...
remember this taboo that came out which was "supposed to be" a Microsoft stompper.. "Linux" haha guess who could turn that **** into the same type of product. Love you big fish "google"! I heart you.
Gosh there is one person who owns 400 devices just so they could make the "app" compatible. This idea took 20 years for Microsoft to master with its ****ing drivers and ppop wtf.
All i'm saying is ide like a little less marketing and a little more truth. I'm sure I wont get that off this fake ass linux fragmentation hello billionaire Microsoft wanna bee.
Make this a ****ing Linux distro, at least they are focused,
Interesting....

My friends tried acid the other week, but it didn't work for them. Where did you get yours?
I literally have no idea what this post it about.
Drugs.. Do better,
Typical, haha every time I Post, that's all you have is that I'm "High" hate my opinion or not. Like what you want I have no matter... I actually feel like I have a say to anyone who want's to listen and if no one does then you know what.
Keep your drugs and you alcohol to yourself don't try to cut me down. I didn't do anything wrong.
I'm sorry my age is not a hundred and five and I didn't invent this stuff, I'm sorry I love and have a passion for android an struggle. I follow every step and have a dream. I've never read this kind of stuff you guys post on anyone else's stuff.

What is your point? Your OP is so fragmented and wonders off on too many tangents, I primarily can't be bothered to reread and try to make sense of it.
You're whining about Android fragmentation and saying you'd rather have an Ubuntu distro bundled with phones?
*Edit* I mean Linux distro.
Ubuntu...
Noo Noo, I'm mostly talking about how my phone is standard, i dreamed i would do something with my nexus seeing as how it was from google. I soon get the phone and find all it is, is standard. You get the phone, lovely but after you get it all you do is watch other phones come out. Using less hardware to do better things.
I'm saying this as a repetitive google customer, and I rely on ports and other roms. I am trying to learn i know its a pathetic thing but i just wish others see what i see. If they don't i would hope my point i great and they would tell me how to help.
The google phones should dominate not be standard and I want to know how to not only root but make full use of a linux kernel space on any android not just how it is.
