I purchased a TyTN (T-Mobile Vario II) around six months ago and I was pretty pleased with it. It wasn't perfect (for example, I couldn't re-connect to the Internet without a soft reset) but it was pretty good.
After a lot of hesitation, I upgraded the radio (1.41) and OS (Black 2.5) about a month ago. A couple of days ago I upgraded the OS to Black Shadow. Tonight I added the SMS "fix".
I now believe that I have the best communication device in the world. Seriously. It's wonderful. The functionality is outstanding. I can do almost anything I could possibly want to do with a phone/PDA. E-mail, texting, surfing, phoning, Skyping, gaming, voice recording, reading (Word, PDF), presenting (PowerPoint), photography etc. Did I mention Internet sharing? I can now connect my laptop to the 'Net from almost anywhere in the world.
The only drawbacks that I can see are that it looks a bit like a brick (only because it has a full QWERTY keyboard - which I love), the battery only lasts one day at a time, and it can be a little sluggish at times.
Nothing else comes close and whenever I look for something better I always come away seriously disappointed - and that will include the iPhone when it comes out. We're probably using iPhone v2 (3G, programmable, video calling, Internet sharing, Office compatible, etc.) right now.
whats the point of this thread?
Seems that he wants to praise the device...would be better suited in the general forum?
Sounds like he wants a cookie....

Dont see anything wrong with praising a device
Can you actually blow a phone? Whups, n00b question, when I used the search feature it gave me this thread again. lol

Here here!
Enough people ***** about their phones in these forums. I for one am glad to hear a success story once in a while.
I think it's a great phone, perhaps the best of the last generation, but there are new toys coming out that show incremental improvements in the technology.
But it's the programmers and hackers that really make Windows Mobile devices fly!
And, re "The best communication device in the world?", surely this is the wife's evil glare? Never fails to get the message over to me, tout suite

Have you tried the Trinity?
"The best communication device in the world?"
Although my X01HT is not the best performance device in the world, I think it's the ringt device for me.
I dont have a perfect phone or PDA. Nor do I want one.
Else I will never get to replace a new one every few months!
Yes, it's a great phone!
...but we still need to file that original post under "NooB-gasm"!
Perhaps we could start a special "H-TaCy" thread for these posts.
Just kidding.
You know, in this day and age with so many Prematurely-released feature-rich gadgets, the marketing teams usually win the consumers over and poor tech support kills all the hope of the devices reaching their potential. I've been had by ASUS a few times on PDAs/phones.
It's really nice to have a great group of people like we find here (who are putting in all the grunt work) who can help us GET OUR MONEY'S WORTH (SO RARE THESE DAYS!!), especially on the language-change issues!
_My_ thanks goes out to HTC for making good products and to the FOLKS HERE for making it great! It's quite possible he sort of meant the same thing. When the vibrator stops working, he may one day realize this.

Lol... be nice guys.
I have to say I was quietly smiling to myself when I heard about the Iphone's 3rd party development support - through Safari widgets. Yippee
I've said it before and I'll say it again - the Windows Mobile phones are great because people like the endless genii on this board make them great and customise the hell out of them.
HTC makes nice hardware, and the two together work well. Many OEMs make nice hardware now, look at the Japanese only devices for true innovation. But, Hermes is a nice, stable device. Shame about the GPS, it would have been near perfect (for its generation).

Perfect without GPS
Perfect? Well.... Well if it was faster, had 128 MB of storage. Had room for SD and MicroSD (4GB please) and if it had GPS, maybe it would be approaching perfect.
Now Heather Graham is perfect! http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001287/
May I have a cookie too?

Perfect without GPS
Sorry if that is a N00b post.
The TyTN is a fantastic communications device, I keep my interior life on it and it entertains me when I'm bored!

I agree with some of this... ample RAM and an 800Mhz CPU would suit me. Add GPS and a 5MP camera and it would be my perfect device.
Ohh yeah and a mini projector built into the top of the phone so I could aim it at a wall and project my films so I had a larger view!
I would like the top projector on the device to project on air rather than the wall as well as would like TyTn to perform as a new "surface" where u can just put any bar coded device on its screen and have all the contents sorted out...plus I would also like it to work as a fax and also GPS and so the list goes on and on...
In reality, I use it only for the voice calling and nothing else... and for that my nokia 3100 was perfect with 7 days plus battery life....
Sorry for the rant...
Hey guyz just check out the video running windows phone series 7 here
http://www.yourmobileblog.com/2010/03/video-of-htc-diamond-running-windows-phone-series-7/
despite its sluggishness, I feel its promising
This could just be a trick performed with remote desktop. Look:
http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2010/03/29/windows-phone-7-series-on-my-htc-hd2/
But who knows, could be the real deal
Hmm. yeah even I thought so when I got a tip off from people at HTCPedia. But this Diamond has really moved us a bit due to certain reasons which we are ofcourse going to discuss..
But I am quite hopeful that be it anything we at XDA will find a solution to it
Obviously fake, you can see where parts of the frame are drawn before others as ALWAYS happens with remote desktop. This would not happen if the phone were simply slow.

so did everyone not read the page? it says up top what he done to get windows 7 on his phone with remote dektop.
i was kinda excited but after seeing this i can only expect to see a few more people thinking there clever and posting this as "htc XX runs wm7"
its a shame that theres people out here who are actually taking the piss out of rom cooks, they go through hours upon hours of coding to get these roms working properly and someone who has no clue makes a video pretending there of the same class as the cooks here.
pitiful. not having a dig at the person who stared this thread but the numbskull who has to much time on there hands and a crappy cam
What the major difference between WM and Iphone os..is that the WM is a computer..and Iphone is just a phone with alot of features..
It's two completely different things..and it seems that MS(prolly because they can't stand watching apple getting mo money then they R) with their new WPhone7 decided to abandon pocket computers and start to make phone only OS..and it's pretty disappointing.
personally I love WM platform because it is a pocket PC..not just a fancy phone with whole alot of things inside..and it seems it's over now..they just don't care about us(prolly because we to smart to pay for every lil thing so we're not really profitable)..
SMH.......thats the problem with windows mobile NOW! nomatter what you do, how much your phone can do...its NOT a computer.....windows mobile now is not a computer and nowhere near it, and microsoft has finally realized this as fact which is why they are moving n another direction....wm-ppc-are not PC'S
in fact you cant stand still on that idea... about not a PC but PPC ancient times when Windows CE comes to town everybody knows the OS a "Pocket" PC, cause it can handles: I sharing, desktop remote, exchnage in WM5, PDA features and... the most important thing as "windows is" the multitasks we knows and fell in love with WM due to that, and now many of that will dissapears... why? due to the NON File explorer and Windows features. The Development will be on two fronts now WP6.6 and WP7 will starts from zero again.

Ofcourse PPC is not a PC..but very close to it..
I think even if they wanna make the totally new os..they shouldnt abandon this one..for exemple Y not develop both of them..
XDA is the biggest internet community in this matter..and what i c the most..is disagreement with new MS politics..but since they(MS) just dont care bout it..they'll will lose some of their loyal clients..
But unfortunately..we don't have mush choice..since one or another of big brothers is gonna dictate their terms..n thats a bad thing about the monopoly..

You are in right OP.. Windows 7 is very ugly,and only reason why I like Pocket PC,bcs he is PC in small package...Last good windows been 6.0/6.1... After this Microsoft make serious ****s...Windows 6.1 dont have many things...But he is far away best OS for mobile devices.I used Iphone/Android,and after many testing Win 6.1 is REAL os with must to say....best multitasking.I like Start menu,I like `PC icons` and I like programs for 6.1...I dont want to use Win 7...Win 6.1 have many popular PC apllications,and have all what I ever will need.Windows 7 look like some ugly Iphone....(and yes,Windows is better os than Mac : )
The grammar in this thread is just...terrible. Every...other... sentence...being... separated...by...dots............
Were all you guys posting from iPhones? I know that device can have a deleterious effect on the English language. It's okay to admit it, it is shiny after all.

Iphones is mobile phone for kids.With cute icons and animations.
Careful now.
PPC can also mean "PowerPC", "Pocket Personal Computer" or some other meanings. Just a warning not to get your terms mixed up.
LOL @ iPhone post above.
I'm liking Windows Mobile so far... Althrough Win Phone 7 looks like all glossy and not that appealing to me. Isn't WP7 based on CE 6.0? Shouldn't be too hard to hack in a Windows XP-like desktop...
My point was that every post in this thread has bad grammar. In fact it almost looks like every post was made by the same person...
And WP7 is not even close to glossy.

hm..really....?
ok, seems everyone hates win7 here... its not that bad.if the phone does its job, its good. i am buying a phone. I'm not going to develop a website on the phone. i have pc for that. but i can listen to music, surf the web, play a game, whatever. the problem with iPhone is that everyone has it. main reason i bought htc mobile. why not steal everything good from iPhone and windows and put it to good use :d
I dont hate WP7 nor loves it, only time will tell what its going to look like. But what i dont like about WP7 is how it is become more look like "others" -read overly simplified popular flashy gadget rather than techie stuffs. WinMo is vastly more advance but i guess being friendly and simple sells more than advance and complicated. Gotta love the iphone, hahahah it is so boring but for what it is, it serves well.
Well i still love WinMo.
WP7 sucks...
hi guys, let me tell you what is going to be the WP7... it is going to be a windows device with iPhone look-a-like in side- NO THANKS!!!
I personaly dont like where things are going for windows mobile, and I believe alot of loyal wm users will turn back on WP7.
Almost forgot... I cant bare loosing my multytasking...
WP7 compare to WM is a step backwards,not forward,that was a sick,profit driven decision made by Microsoft which gonna cost them dearly...

Actually PPC is much more PC than many of us believe.
I remember my first PC form 1994. It was poor Pentium I 66MHz with 16Mb RAM and 450Mb HDD.
Now my wife's Xperia has 528MHz CPU, some memory and a "pitiful" 4Gb storage SDHC. Also X1's 800x480 is almost as good as my first 800x600 CRT.
Which one is more PC? If compared per watt?
I'd like to see WP7 and WinMob multitask OS in parallel.
hi all i just got the new htc hd7 phone yesterday and unlocked it last night using imei unlock { 2 minutes to get code awesome }
anyhow im from ireland and have been using iphones for years ,,
so so so pissed with the whole apple say apple have to do way ..
iphone is never yours always apples ,
just wondering as i was well use to jailbreaking and unlocking and theme making on the iphone is there any jailbreak or way to add 3rd party apps like custom sounds or stuff like yjay on the htc hd7 phone ..
oh sorry forgot to say waht a ****ing awesome phone well well welllllll pleased with it bery fast and responsive and since its only new there must and will be loads of input coming into it when developers see the potential of this device ..
thanks for looking any help or guidance is appreciated ..
like this forum to its well full of ideas hints and tips .
get used to me around here as im gonna be here a lot
There's a tool out called ChevronWP7 which allows for sideloading of apps but to be honest I'm not sure that's going to let you do what you're looking to do. I too have been in the iPhone world since the beginning when jailbreaking was done through the terminal haha.
Anyways, the ChevronWP7 "unlocker" seems to be along the lines of what you're looking for but others have cautioned to stay away from it as it hasn't been tested extensively and from what I've read they say that you could possibly get banned from the marketplace, have your xbox live account banned among other things which could render the phone somewhat useless. There are a few threads on this forum with lots of good information. I don't think any theming or significant 3rd party apps have been developed just yet. I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
Thanks for reply and info much appreciated mate.
Honestly I can't put down this phone at all I love it mate honest. Still learning but loving it every sec.
What you got yourself. Phone wise.
I just learned to sync windows contacts today from old iPhone.
Catch me on Xbox live if ya want. deise Boy
Thanks again

Hello everyone,
can I ask you to test it and tell me is this kind of mobile phone can work if connected to charger but without battery ?!
I have mobile but no battery and I planed to eventually buy a usb cable to power the mobile for some testing and I dont want to buy a cable in vain.
thanks !
84 of you saw the post and was lazy to take out the battery and check will QTEK work on the power adapter
I was born in 72, was having fun with commodore 64, also amiga 500. Now Im professional designer, creating web sites, tv commercials and also work with prepress too.
Covering everyday all those aread I can say that - yes, my knowledge and experience are huge, therefore, beside my regular job I also teach people things I ve learned thorough the years.
I share my knowledge everyday, I share my will to help, same I was doing before, as a kid and teenager, when I was, hacking and programming.
I always believed in community, in doing the good, sharing the knowledge but what we all have nowdays? 84 of you was too lazy to do what I asked. Helping someone wasnt enough to move your ass. And that is impressive, becuse before that was the main motif to do something, to investigate, to learn something new, to improve yourself and help too...
But it looks like its different now.
Damn this planet become a ****ty place.
Sorry, i've see only now because i've pass to an android device, maybe don't start without battery the right led become red and don't turn on, you need battery, in ebay you can take it i suppose for 13 €
EDIT:I'm not interessed of the story of your life
sorry
sorry sorry
You can't accuse everybody who see the post of not helping you because they are not "so good as you" to share things.
Have you thought about many here, has come because is wondering the same as you? Looking for answers?
Being rude will definetely not help you anywhere in this world.
