It's been a long time coming, and it looks like HTC's finally gearing up to drop another portrait QWERTY device -- a dominant smartphone form factor that HTC has historically given surprisingly little love. Following the Excalibur (T-Mobile types know this one better as the Dash) and the 3G-capable Cavalier, CNET's Deutschland outpost has learned a bit about "Maple," and what the device lacks in beauty, it looks to make up in pure, raw, unadulterated productivity. You can't rightfully anoint it until you get your hands on it, but from a distance, this thing looks like it has one of the more usable portrait keyboards ever created, a trackball, and a cool new feature HTC is called "Inner Circle," which seems to aggregate communication with people you care about depending on the time of day and day of week. HTC had really been keen on what it's calling "people-centric communication" at MWC, so Inner Circle would certainly fall right into that -- and if you can get over the frumpy exterior, this sucker looks like a solid WinMo-based choice for the suits out there. No word on a release just yet.

This is old news , this has been covered already on multiple threads, from the htc 09 lineup http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470314&highlight=htc+2009+lineup /
to other models thought to be the new dash. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479699&highlight=dash
Yes indeed its old news now. I am the OP of the 09 lineup post . Just thought I would share that it was "official"!

why not do it on the same thread? Since you were the OP of it , why not just edit the original thread?.
I have purchased four tablets in the last month and returned all of them based on the lack of a general information placed in one spot on this forum, I put a lot of trust in xda the members and the developers here.
There will be over 30 new Tablet devices (worthy of talking about) this spring and summer, and I am sure there is a place here for such subcategory.
As usuall thanks for your consideration.
Wait - did I read this right... You returned tablets on the basis that you couldnt find info on them in one spot here?
What manf/models, if you dont mind my asking.
Did you find something lacking in the Hardware / OS?
Or just that you didnt think there was enough community support?

Don't get the wrong idea I'm not bashing xda, I love xda, My thought is that if there was some general discussion going on around here from our respected peers, I may have not bought some of the Tabs that I did... the huwaei sucked, the elocity doesn't get a whole lot of support (not sure why) the viewsonic gtab got me when I saw Calkuin on there, which was the best tab I tried, just didn't care for the 10" tab.
I think xda will be the new home of tab support...
I also am not sure about all of the models supported on here, as they are scattered all over the place because there is no place specifically for tabs to compare one against the other...

I am new to these forums (well, an avid reader but with no account and no posts until now) and i felt it appropriate that my first post should be simply one of praise for those in the community who were so instrumental in porting CyanogenMod to the Motorola Defy.
I was a long time CM user on my HTC Magic, and when i learned there was an opportunity to have it on my ruggedized smartphone, i jumped at the chance.
Heh, and just in case any of my friends and associates online doubted the claims that CM could run on a Defy, i shot this video clip in a diner the other night.
EDIT: being a new user, i can't post a link yet. if you'd like to see video of my Defy sitting in a glass of water with the CM7 boot logo rolling along, you can visit YouTube slash "deviantollam" and you'll see it's one of the most recent videos. Perhaps someone may reply to this post with said link.
... so yes indeed, i'm absolutely thrilled and i hope to participate more here on the forums as i tweak the rest of my settings and iron out the bugs. (a few significant ones remain for me, as this has removed my UMA/WiFi calling as well as Swype. Also, my buddy with a european Defy has a much nice WiFi Hotspot that was included on his device while i'm stuck with WEP-only "wireless tether for root users")
Still and all, i'm really really pleased and i thank the community for all the great FAQs, guides, and support that has been posted.
and here's the link to your video

thanks for that! i hope to continue being a part of this community here and seeing CyanogenMod development continue for the Motorola Defy. i'm astonished that no other manufacturers seem interested in producing ruggedized devices for the Android platform (or for any smartphone platform, really!)
I created this thread as a way for everyone to get to know each other by name. We're a tight knit group of users in here, and I thought it would be appropriate for us to know each other by name. In the recent weeks, I've noticed an increase in bickering. Experience has taught me that when people know each other on a name to name basis, it creates a more personal atmosphere, where people are less likely to show disrespect to one another.
As your Moderator, my goal in the forums is to create a peaceful atmosphere, where people aren't at each other's throats. It takes away from the true purpose of XDA, and also pushes people away. Let's all work together to improve the overall atmosphere of these forums. After all, we're all here for the same reason; a passion for development, cell phones, and sharing thoughts and ideas.

My name is Tyler. I'm an android vet when it comes to applying mods and roms and whatnot, but when it comes to the guts of the stuff, I'm no good. I tried compiling a build of ICS for my nook color, but even that was beyond me. This is my fifth android device. After a Moto Milestone and Droid 3, this is my first phone with an actual unlocked bootloader that I didn't have to jump through hoops to root (never buying moto again). So that's been nice. I look forward to working with you folks.
Hey guys! My name is Andrew
First Android device here in the Captivate Glide I am learning how to do the little things in Dev and hopefully in time will just continue learning ...
My name's Rohit. The captivate glide is my second android device, behind Desire HD (still have it). I owned an iPod which I messed around with, going to the roots and such. Moving to android gave me more control over the phone than I had with the iPod. I know a little about editing widgets for android as well as figuring out problems which occurs.
the name is Gabriel. Been an Android user since 2010, most of my devices are Samsung so I am comfortable flashing ROMs/Kernels for these devices. I also used Sony Ericsson and HTC devices. My device history below:
Captivate I896 & I897
HTC Desire
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
Samsung Infuse 4G I997R
Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE I727R
Samsung Galaxy S Glide I927R
I always stick on stock ROMs. But since I've been tied through developers' work, I have dedicated time to test their ROMs/kernels, use them until I know it is capable of being a daily driver, then go back to stock....

I went from my, like 4 years old, HTC Dream to the Glide(which was so hard to root in comparison to the Glide). Also I like how I'm not the only one who owned a HTC Dream before <3
Hope to see some nice ROMs in the future
Hello from Fabrizio,
Rome - Italy.
Captivate Glide is my first android ever and i'm totally in love with it.
Mike from Toronto, Canada.
Had a Xperia x10 that went from 1.6 to 2.3, and got the Glide after. I still have a want for a physical qwerty. Glide is rooted and running custom OSI Mood ROM from Carpe.
I run a QA dept for a mobile app company and I have a lot of devices at my work (Nexus, Note, HTC's, Xperia's, etc..) and I still like my Glide over all of them.
I don't post much, but read a lot. I find people tend to post too much about nothing.
I also have an Asus Prime.
Looking forward to having ICS come out!

This is my first Android Device. I'm enamored with the flexibility of both the OS and the hardware.
Previous devices of any importance were a WinMo 6.5 LG eXpo and before that a feature phone LG Vu, over the course of the past 7 years. This community is important to me from both a support and a customizing aspect. Thanks!
Hi, I'm Austin... From Fredericktown Mo USA
This is MY second android device (not counting the two of my parents)
I had,
Iphone 3g (horrible)
HTC aria (awesome little thing)
Traded that for iphone 3gs
Traded that for my glide
I also have a Samsung Captivate and Moto Atrix 4g in my family...
I try not to post too much, but if there's a question that I have, or someone has a question that I have the answer to, I'm not shy.

Hi All. My Name Is John and I live in Montreal Canada.
I used to have a Samsung Omnia running Windows 6.1 Phone and before that an Axim X51V. Got Tired of crappy touch screens so I told myself I needed a Physical Keyboard so Hello Glide!
I also work in QA for a Computer company Though I deal in the Microsoft Certification of our drivers.
I installed a Rom on my X51V from XDA many years ago and now with my Glide. I like learning how things work and would like to get into making some Roms as I do have some programming skills but I have never done anything like this. I downloaded the Development kit but I am not sure how to use It I am used to Windows Visual Studio for Work.
Hey there
Hello everyone, the name's Alexander.
The Glide is my first real android device. I previously used hand-me-downs, most notably an HTC Kaiser. Before that an HTC Wizard. On the Wizard I used custom ROMs from XDA, and on the Kaiser I was able to run Android thanks to the great work of the developers here!
I have a background in communication & multimedia design, and have been a bit of a whiz-kid for as long as I can remember. I don't know anything solid about the nuts and bolts of Android specifically, and consider myself much more a tinkerer and designer rather than any kind of developer. So all I can offer are tips and suggestions on making the user experience better through theming, widgets, and so on. On the technical side I can hold my own, but generally with Android consider what I say as "good guesses" unless otherwise stated!
I can, however, really understand the excitement AND frustration that go along with any development-process. In part due to my own experience, but also second-hand as many of my friends are computer engineers.
I hope to be of some help to the lovely folks here at XDA!
Hi, Salaam, my name is Muzammil, living in Ajman, United Arab Emirates.
Samsung Captivate Glide is my first Android device, also bought the Galaxy S II, but that's mom's phone.
Have pretty much single handedly maintained this phone's Wikipedia article, with photos and text. If anyone wants to make it better, please contribute

Hello, This is Vinay, from Bangalore - India.
Captivate Glide is my first Android Phone and very happy with the device from past 6 months.
I am basically an Mechanical Engineer. I am not into programming and writing codes.
Am ready to try and feedback on the Mods/kernels/Roms that the Developers are ready to offer to the XDA Community.
I can understand the work, time and patience that the ppl put across in any development process. Appreciate the work guys!!
Heavily try different App's widgets available in the market.
I can support in general usage issues and suggestions.
Always happy to learn and share.
Hey guys, Paul from London here.
Had my AT&T branded Captivate Glide for a few weeks now. Really like it lots, although I'm itching for some ICS action, but have so far managed to hold out from rooting and flashing it just yet due to the possible official upgrade
Its my third Android device my last being a Motorola Milestone that I had overclocked and flashed a few ROMs on. Ended up running CM7 in the end which I was pleased with, although the battery life left me wanting.
Backflip anyone?
Harry from NJ here. Upgraded to Cappy Glide from the Motorola Backflip running CM7. The Backflip had a great keyboard but was was slow and old (like me!).
Anyone else had a Backflip?
Just came across this web site while looking for horizontal 1080p wallpapers. Clearly, by the website name, they were intended for the Galaxy S4, obviously, since it is the popular device.
Figured I would share it with you all as I have found it increasingly difficult to find portrait 1080p wallpapers for my HTC One.
http://www.wallpapersforgalaxys4.com/
I, of course, take 0 credit for any of this. Merely sharing the link.
Happy personalizing
LOL how many wallpaper threads must there be?
