I'm just about to make the transition from my Dash to my new phone soon. Just wanted to take a minute as a break from SIM unlocking, keyboard layouts, and $5.99 hack questions to say "thanks" to all the guys in the Excalibur forum who helped make my Dash the best smartphone I've ever had.
Through the ROMs, scripts, tips, and tricks offered here, I had a smooth ride with my Dash. Thanks to everyone who worked on the phone and offered mutual help to regulars as well as relatively patient help to newbies. Great group here overall!
Thanks man for writing that,
Also, what phone are you going to move to?
TAKE ME WITH YOU FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
i mean take it easy man =)

He is moving on to the G1 forum and as well as i will be.
Your welcome Beartard
Although, i will be seeing you there soon
Oh nice since you guys are moving there, is it possible for me to become moderator here in the excalibur forum.
yeah a big thanks to everyone. graduated from the first day t-mobile came out with the dash with windows 5, to 6 to 6.1 courtesy of everyone here. be moving over to the G1 on the 22nd.
thanks again for everyones hard work!
Haha dang so many people are moving to the G1
my Excal has served me well for quite a while. Longer than any other phone has. In fact, I will probably keep it with me during the first few months, as I am sure there will be problems with the G1 of some sort or another. I am in agreement with the others, thank you ALL for everything you do to keep these Excal's going

The Exca will be missed by many...
Maybe ya'll should just change the name of this forum so you don't all have to leave. Sounds like almost everyone here has ordered, or is going to order, the g1. This place will be dead if all of you leave that have said you are. So when's the funeral? two weeks? Who's gonna be staying? I think Stylez is about the only one. Maybe we should pitch in and get him a new phone as well.
If NRG would have built the new rom I would have stayed
J/K, If the new one comes I will definitely be back for some rom love

Called HTC today. Gentleman said that google has not released 2.2 to HTC yet for development so it definitely won't be released on 23rd (today). He said when they have it, there will be a schedule released on the front page of htc.com/www/
already got it. apparently

why say "delay"?
HTC didn't officially say that it will be released today, 23 June.
Just my 2 cents.
Oh Goodness T_T

http://www.google.com/support/forum...488da0ef21660d1300048994d2e4bf4c&hl=en&hltp=1
Everyone can start complaining once the source is released, but until then, god quit blaming HTC. and yes I know HTC probably already has the source, and has probably already updated Senseui for it, but until Google finalizes it, HTC won't release an update.

I don't want to use words like other people about lack of google's informations about any release date, unprofessionnal support, htc support etc... I'm sure they would better hire some of you guys to help them! You are the one which are giving us what we need, not google nor htc. I'm sorry, but feeling like moving to another OS, being iOS or WM7... too disappointed, sorry.
The only people you should be disappointed in are the rumourmongerers who got you thinking that some official source had promised to get you FroYo on 23 June.

You're right jstegeman... Even by myself trusting and hoping these. But I had hope in Google as well and not having any fix release date look to me unprofessionnal... the term "shortly" used by them can mean days, weeks, months... Is it so difficult to say the release date will be the xx of xx year xx and keep that date?
Sorry but this might come from my Swiss habits, having the clock's at the right time, no improvisation, organization... I hate "not knowing" and am quite impatient lol

I dont know if this is true, but seems more reliable than words of a customer, lets hope for the best
zdnet is reliably.
and it ever was.
they will lost the good reputation, they worked for if this isnt true
and i dont think, they wanna risk it
This happens again and again and people believe this. Guys, first of all this is a stupid excuse from customer support.
Do you really think that Google lets HTC wait for release like the rest of us? They have been working on 2.2 from early stages too, they must if they want to release timely 2.2 devices.
Secondly, they would never ever release a froyo build before google.

Sorry Swissman,
but a new release of a OS is NOT a FIX as you defined it.
There have been fixes available on the air, and - afaik - no other os-manufacturer does release on-the-air fixes like Google does.
Moreover, you bought a mobile phone with a working os, and - always afaik - you cannot blame Google in being supposedly in delay for a new release of an OS.
What should you think then about Microsoft for Windows 7 or Apple for OS 4????? Not to talk about Meego or else.....
Please have a cup of tea and try and have a different opiniono about "unprofessionality"....

hey seanomccool, you just got a scoop (not)!
People with some common sense knows it since a few weeks: froyo isn't officially released yet on it's primary platform, so no way it could be released today on the desire! In fact, google just told that there's no ETA yet for froyo.
dont panic m8s,it will happend soon

Not a test but I think they cba to develop it properly because of memory issues and then so many people just complained that they decided to go ahead.
So, what's the cause of the decision reversal?

Potential loss of sales

[*] All of the Above
Thank you all for your complaint
Thanks HTC... or not?
I saw in the news this morning that Desire wasn't going to get the Gingerbread update. Thankfully, now they have backtracked.
I wanted to say "Hey, HTC, thanks for that", but then I thought "Should I really be thanking them? Shouldn't all this even have occurred? Haven't they only done their job?"
So, well... all I can say is... glad to see I'll be getting official Gingerbread
I bet they were working on sense 2.1 for Desire, but there wasn't enough space so they will now leave sense to 1.0 and update only main software to 2.3
But damn, I was already excited to root first time and check some of these custom roms... Tho might still tomorrow...
Even if it's a good news, i'm still puzzled.
Why did they make such a previous statement... to backtrack within a day?
Anyway, i'm still happy to see GB coming.
Well my friends, this is good news.The power of loyal customers making comments!
HTC received 1000s of emails/twitter/facebook messages in the past 24huors since their first announcement that "Desire will not get Gingerbread".
Many people said they would not buy HTC again and were seriously annoyed at being promised Gingerbread before end of Q2 only to be told its now canceled.
I think HTC have made some marketing mistakes. They have released about 10 new handsets since the Desire and now realise that people are not ready to spend another 500euro after only 1 year with Desire. They were hoping people would just buy a new handset like Desire S etc. Forecasts earlier in the week showed that their stock price had fallen due to a concern that demand for their new handsets was lower than expected. I think this decision not to update Desire to 2.3 was a political and marketing choice not a technical one.
they now realise they were going to alienate 10000s of loyal users would would not go with HTC for the next phone!!!
I'm glad communities like this exist and can influence HTC in the way we have.
I was going to root my device today, and am currently reading up on it.
I might do so anyway for more internal space etc.
Good work all.
100% correct

SPIED! New HTC Win Phone 7 handset at AT&T store! Pics of Dummy Phone, UPC & Name.
FYI, I was at an AT&T retail store in Central California today and the store mgr let me check out an upcoming (not yet announced or released ASFAIK), WP7 "dummy phone" by HTC.
No details on the exact processor, RAM, screen technology, etcetera, as it was in a plain, white cardboard box with no printed specs or paperwork, but I do have "some" additional info. I managed to steal a few quick camera-phone pics of the front and back of the device, plus a pic of the UPC barcode, and the HTC Model Name & #. No info from the store about expected release date, etc.
Any interest here?

I personally am not that interested but id say youd be better off not taunting and just post it here

Are you sure it's not HD7s? Besides, until you post pictures, no one's going to trust you. You've got few enough posts where it's not too much to assume you're trolling.
Sorry guys. You're right. I shouldn't have posted this yet. I'm a noob on the site and can see how I would be viewed as a troll. Just waiting to hear back from a tech blog site about running an exclusive...to see if I can get a new phone out of the deal at least, lol. Prolly not, so will post up pics once I get a reply. Oh, definitely not the HD7s.

A new phone in California? Yeah right. In a retail store?
Doesn't even begin to make sense.
Precisely - I feel like user with 5 posts is attempt to troll us. Not saying it's outside the realm of possibility, but most likely, it was some mistake on their end, and has nothing to do with WP.
I thought HTC Trophy and HD7s were the last phones before mango.

Totally shocking. I mean I'm lost for words
this has got to be epic fail... well i never belive this post because first no manufacturere like htc is going to give a random cell company retailer their prototype device.
Well after days of not being able to make calls in the office via the Suresignal, and after swapping out the phone for a new one, I had to get a refund.
Really wanted to keep this device, but as a business, and not being able to make or receive calls in the office, it had to go, and yes I've been through the turning WIFI off etc, but every other device I have owned seems to be able to connect to wifi and the Suresignal at the same time and make phone calls.
There seems to be an issue with connecting to the Vodafone Suresignal, and HTC didn't know about the issue when I called, and had no help on the matter.
Such a shame....
it might be kind of a shame to add another thread to so many when there is a returns thread. everyone sees you now, though, and there are tons of dupe threads that stay open so i'm sure you can wait around and get some more replies. =]
Don't really understand the need for your post, I made a valid point, one that CPW and HTC seem (or claim) to be unaware of.
After spending just under £500, I think I have reason to gripe.
The one drawback with forums seems to be a global thing across all forums, is that there is always someone that wants to have a pop and say "do a search before posting" etc, but surely a forum is to ask and seek advice, and discuss, not to just search an archive, we may just as well have a searchable database and be done with if that's the attitude.
Why doesn't a mod just move the thread as is the norm if it's that much of an issue?
As I see it, you have not made any constructive additions to the thread at all, does your One X connect to a sure signal, do you have a solution for it?
Some of us don't have hours and hours to trawl through shed loads of threads and search results, and only spend a few short minutes online when work commitments allow.
Just a tip, if your thread is about Sure Signal, put that in the title.

So calls are ok outdoor? When the reception is good? Then it is not phone's problem.

The OP has RETURNED his phone, hes not posting to ask for a solution before he returns and so isnt actually asking for help to fix something.

Had 2 phones (and yes updated both), HTC had no idea, Vodafone had no idea, Carphone Warehouse had no idea, so what do you do, leave a £500 paperweight on the desk because it can't make calls like any other device on the market, or take it back within the 30 days to get your £500 back?
I searched....and searched for answers, posted on the VF forum, but nobody had any answers, I wonder just how many of you actually use a device for work, and rely on it for communication, instead of just playing angry birds and posting a Facebook update that you've just bought a can of cola!
I see countless complaint threads about "there's a mark on my device, I want it exchanged" or "my screen creaks" etc etc etc, to me, that's petty, but people deem them to be worthy of much discussion.....
