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.

Hope we can find some guys who can port this "S-Class" to our HD

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

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.

+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!
cya
have anyone got s-class ui ? for htc
He friends - when the first Touch came out I bought it and was so unsatisfied ref. the keyboard that I changed the device - also because the perforamce was pretty slow
Let me ask you - is the No. 2 now faster and much better ???
Hi,
The touch-pro 2 has some hardware improvements, but none concerning it's speed. The software that's delivered by HTC is further optimized and is a lot faster. Also the version of the processor that's included has changed in the TD2 & TP2. This probably means that the processor has been more optimized too.
I expect the TP2 to be faster in use, because of the new well working software (Shell). Next to that, it will be easier to work with because of the bigger screen.
About the keyboard, looking at some video's about pre-releases of the phone, every reviewer says the keyboard is one of the best ever. I haven't seen any lag when people were typing.
I think normal all-day use (agenda, mail, phone, sms, etc) will be faster and more accessible. But gaming, or other 3th party software that requires a lot of horsepower,....... Just don't expect the TP2 to be a lot better/faster. But then again, htc targets the bussines world.
I suggest you look into other topics and look for reviews (youtube: touch-pro2 review), so you can see for yourself.
I'm upgrading from my Hermes . The reason why I won't wait for other 1 gigz phones? Playing 3d games, just won't work on phones cause of the louzy controls and little screen. Other than that, I can't think of reasons why I would want a 1 Gighz phone. Battery will be empty faster and it will take a year before the new processors will be fully optimized. (not to think of the heat the new processors will make)

Specifically, the drivers are believed to have been improved to address some graphics hangups. It's hard to know what any particular user means when they complain about performance.
If, peter, you're referring to the TF3D interface, you'll probably be pleased. There are a ton of video previews out there on youtube now, so head on over and watch it in action. Those videos are the next best thing to actually using one.
So what could your advice be - to wait for the new toshiba with th ebig display, take the diamond 2 or the touch 2 ???
THANKS a lot

Depends, what kind of user you are.
What kind of phone do you have now? Is it with an hardware keyboard and do you message a lot?
What do you do with you current phone? What do you like, what do you miss?
Do you put you phone in you pocket?
I'm also getting the touch pro2 because there aren't going to be many other phones with an hardware keyboard in the near future. As for only touchscreen phones, I would wait. There are comming a lot new phones in the near future.
If you have a fairly recent phone (touch pro 1 for example) I also would wait for a new phone. That's because new phones keep comming and I don't have the money to keep buying new phones.
(as for the slow touch pro 1, try some home cooked roms from this site. There are probably some real fast ones in the tp1 forum).
Does touch pro2 have an hardware keyboard ???
Actually I`m using again my Xperia...

I'm happy to help and inform you, but at least google the phone before asking a question.
Go to HTC.com and go to the HTC touch pro2 page. You'll see all hardware specs.
It costs me and you less time

No I meant this one :
http://www.htc.com/uk/product/touchpro2/overview.html
But just saw, this info isn't available in the US. So sorry (the webpage I've given is the UK version)
it will be on the market in june. the release dates differ per country. In western europe it will be Junu 5 or 12.
In amerika it also can be July, but I expect end June
Which would you rather pick? The HD2 or the Touch Pro 2??
I wanted the TP2(T-Mobile) before it even came out and was waiting till it came out so I can start saving for it but then the HD2 came out and after seeing all these features it has plus the tweaks and videos on pocketnow.com, I'm thinking now do I want the HD2? I always told myself that if I get another touch screen phone, its going to have a keyboard but the HD2 screen is so long that I might be good with the virtual keyboard. I don't know which to pick now.
What do you guys say??
I've been asking myself a similar question. Dump the TP2 for an HD2? I still haven't come up with a concrete answer but that isn't only because of the hardware keyboard vs. the onscreen SIP.
Here are some of the differences between the TP2 and the HD2. I have mentioned the pro's of each device versus the other.
TP2
* Front VGA Camera (atleast on the unbranded versions)
* Straight Talk feature with Rear Mute button
* Dual Speakerphone and Mic system (part of the Straight Talk feature)
* Best in-class hardware keyboard
* Screen Tilting option (great for movies)
* Fantastic looks and build quality
HD2
* Large 4.3" Capacitive Screen
* Faster Processor
* More Ram
* 5MP Rear Camera with Flash
* Fantastic HTC OEM Car mount accessory. SEE HERE
* Availability of stylus for capacitive screens as an accessory
If you can make your peace without some of the Rhodium features that did not make it over to the HD2, especially the keyboard, then i'd say go for the HD2 with your eyes closed.

Plus, with the new Swype, I hardly even use my real keyboard anymore, I could go HD2 if you can fit it in your pocket.
that carmount looks very nice!
btw, I'm on a tp2 and at times I wish it had a little more power behind it. the HD2 should solve that issue, but takes away the keyboard. I guess I'm going to have to sample it before making a decision on which I would want to keep longer, but the HD2 is the favorite.
Not any virtual keyboard is better and faster than type on a hardware keyboard (at least on my experience)
Just because the keyboard I´ll stay on Rhodium!
I´m sure for 2011 will be a Touch Pro 3 with the specs of Leo (or even better!) but with hardware keyboard! so I´ll bet to that and will wait till 2011
And guys don´t forget to vote for Rhodium!
rhodium ftw!
i guess you can say i have a fetish for wm devices and development...im getting the hd2 when it drops regardless lol. i still use all my old devices from day to day. my only problem with the hd2 is theres no keyboard.
I'm totally disappointed with what is supposed to be the next TP2, aka Tera.
I was rather expecting an HD2 in a TP2 case, as the next device, but 600mhz processor with a smaller screen, seems a no-go so far
Hope 2011 will be a better year for devices with hardware keyboard.
From early indications about the HTC 2010 Windows Phone line up, it looks rather lack luster.
I'm quite disappointed that there isn't a worthy successor to the Touch Pro 2. Considering that the TP2 is a run away success, there is very little that HTC would have to do to improve this device.
Throw in a Capacitive screen, a Snapdragon, more ram, a better camera and a 3.5mm jack on all variants without taking anything that is already in it out and you have a worthy successor to the TP2; one that is sure to be a run away success too.
Really HTC, is it that hard?
I'd settle for just the screen, proc and ram upgrades.
Same dilemma here. I already have the TP2, and i was really really satisfied with my purchase in all aspects! Then the other day i was passing through a phone store and got my hands on the HD2...
I hate that moment because that was when the dilemma of selling my TP2 and getting an HD2 popped up. Like most of you though, i decided (after trying to use only the virtual keyboar on the TP2, which i rarely use btw, and finding it hard to have it as a first input method) to stick to my Rhodium till a TP3 with the screen and other specs of the HD2 plus a hardware keyboard hits the market (hopefully soon enough).

I agree.
My T-Mo contract won't permit me to get a new phone cheaply until mid-2011 anyway, so I'm not too concerned yet.
I just really, really hope that hardware keyboards (in high-end HTC WM devices) don't go the way of 4x3 aspect-ratio laptops...that would really be a shame.
Like most of the guys said, .. and what i say is, if you can live without the QWERTY keyboard, than get an HTC HD2 blind-folded
I am with SPRINT and would LOVE to get the HD2, with only one change. it has to have a keyboard. I have had phones without keyboards, but now that I have a keyboard, I have been hooked. There is another problem that would limit me from getting the HD2. That is SPRINT. I very much doubt that they would get this phone from HTC. That SUCKS! This is only my opinion about this SWEET phone.
Best bet is probably to test drive it. If you find that you absolutely cannot live without the keypad give it back but if the screen compensates for it in your opinion by all means keep it.
hey...anyone can give the good news about dell lightning?it had been leaked back in april. however, until now, it was like evaporate in the air and windows phone 7 is near to launch...please share your pics and latest news here...

Thanks a lot mate...this is interesting....lol
Too bad it doesnt have front camera
but still very interesting device
cant wait!
I never understood the point in portrait sliders. Sure it looks cool, but the keys are simply too small (so they are also useless for say games or music playback control without looking)
Otherwise I thought this looked like a killer handset from the moment it was leaked. Shame about the processor though.

The keys are same as blackberry's keys size or even larger because the screen is huge(4.1 inch)
Many devices have built-in qwerty keyboards (not sliders ex.nokia e71,Blackberry...etc) they work pretty good.
Hopefully it'll have more than a 1Ghz processor and 512MB RAM.
Still no rumours about it since April - let's hope something is revealed tomorrow (but doubt it)
i thought i saw somewhwe that dell will hold on to this device and launch the device without any keybord first...

Dell Venue Pro (Lightning) first hands-on!
It's one of the 5 launch devices Microsoft just announced: microsoft[dot]com/windowsphone/en-us/buy/7/phones.aspx#none
IMO this and the Omnia 7 were the nicest of the bunch. Shame on HTC for failing to deliver the HTC Pro on time. None the less, this dell is getting some really positive feedback:

Need more info on EU launch atm get the feeling this device is locked to Tmobile and US launch only. Need specs and confirm Dell! If it is US only and Tmobile locked you guys need to work on an unlocker
Dell Lightning is great indeed.
The new HTC 8788 scheduled to be released December 2010 will have a sliding keyboard and Windows Phone 7. Is this the next generation of the Touch Pro 2 and Tilt 2? Link courtesy of PDAdb.net - http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2567&c=htc_t8788
Sweet! I will be keeping an eye on this device for sure. It looks to be the closest to the TP2 thus far. The Samsung phone has incredible specs, but it's built like a toy and does not come close to HTC quality. The TP2 is a tank and this new device looks great. Hopefully the great guys here at XDA can come up with great ways to make WP7 more like the way winmo is now with customizable mods. This place is where Windows Phone 7 will get a helping hand; not Microsoft. Sad but true.
This is odd. The phone is listed as having full QWERTY support, but this site is stating that when you slide it out, it's a speaker. ??? This is a weird phone.
http://newbestgadget.com/cell-phone/htc-t8788-windows-phone-7-review
Just FYI, I know the post next to that picture says HW keyboard but that phone shown in the pic is explained to have a multimedia speaker and no KB. Confused.
This phone has a slide-out speaker, not a slide-out keyboard. So not a successor to the TP2.
Slide out speaker? Meh.
The second phone you are looking at is not the HTC PRO 7 IS THE HTC 7 Surround there are two different phones so the succesor is HTC PRO 7 with full qwerty keyboard and tilt.And its thenext phone i am buying for sure
