Are there any mini keyboards compatible with the evo. I got this one for the evo shift, not sure if its compatible, but it says android. if you ask why I got a keyboard for the shift even though it comes with one, because its small.

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.

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
Hey, I used the Droid X/2 multitouch keyboard on the Vibrant before I got the G2 and I really liked it, so I tried installing/flashing multiple versions and the only one I got to work had really small letters on the keys, which was also an issue on the Vibrant. So I was wondering if anybody has a version with normal sized lettering, thank you.
Ok well as in the title everyone can tell i want a android mp3 player/ipod touch im looking at getting a droid incredible/og droid off ebay and making it into a ipod touch android phone. Do you think that the incredible would be well suited for it or that a og droid would do just as good. Im looking to root and have some fun with the device also i know that og droid is easy to root from having when they first came out and i was wondering how easy rooting process of incredible is and how the roms are. any input will be much appreciated
Rooting on the inc is simple, one click. Flashing roms is the same as the og droid. I think the inc would be better as an mp3 player because of the bigger screen, and no physical keyboard, faster processor etc.

thanks guys i went with incredible with bad esn seeing that i dont need cell service. It was little more pricey than og droid but i figure gingerbread and other roms will run alot faster on droid incredible. do you guys think any rom would be better than any other rom for music?(even though i prob will try a bunch out seeing that my x2 cant even have roms on it)
Plus the 8gb eMMc
Fcuk Apple
also with google music u can stream all your songs from the cloud!!!
Sorry if this has already been asked, but how is the Samsung Glide? I have been using an HTC Status (ChaCha) for years, and just recently rooted. I liked the form factor and keyboard, but the internal memory was miserably limited, even after rooting and getting rid of bloatware, moving apps to SD, etc. The sound from the speaker was pretty poor too (I am aware that Beats audio can be installed to rooted phones ... have yet to try that) and putting the SD card slot underneath the battery is awkward. I have gotten a handle on Android's strengths and weaknesses (Gingerbread) so I will have a better idea of what to expect for my next phone. I definitely prefer a physical keyboard, and most Android based phones do not have one, or have poor specs. The Captivate Glide seems to measure up. I have read the specs GSM Arena gave on this phone,and it seems pretty good. It claims that it has Flash. Is this Adobe Flash, or something along the lines of HTC Status' Flash Lite? I definitely want Adobe Flash support, even if Adobe plans to end future support. I have an LG Neon lying around, a basic phone with a slide out keyboard ... it was okay, but for some weird reason only recognized one key input at a time, which made playing video games like Galaga miserable, even though the graphics were quite close to the arcade. I need to be able to press more than one key input at a time! I am also interested in Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean, neither of which would likely run very well on the Status, if they even can run. I have read of Glide users having a lot of problems with ICS. Should I wait for another phone with ICS preloaded, or just wait for a better Glide optimized ICS or Jelly Bean? Finally, how easy was it to root this phone? Rooting the Status was a real pain, as the HTC Dev software was getting me nowhere, by claiming the rom version is not supported ... even after the AT&T update. I bought the XTC Clip and couldn't get it to work, until a friend of mine got it working right (stick the flex cable in real tight in the SIM slot) and put on CWM and SuperUser. Somehow it did not unlock the carrier though. Anything like this for the Glide? How is the battery life?
Hello,
I'm a big qwerty fan. Started with the Nokia N900, which I had for 2+ years. Eventually it developed a common problem with the usb port, and I decided it was time to move on, as the browser and some other system apps were starting to not work with newer versions of services, sites, etc.
So last year I bought a qwerty Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro. I had never really used Android before, so it was a big transition, and I have to confess that I'm still very underwhelmed by some things in Android, although 4.x fixed many glaring issues.
Currently I feel very limited by the specs on the phone, which is clearly underpowered for today's Android apps, so I've decided to move on to a better qwerty phone, the Captivate Glide.
I decided to open this thread to ask you, as the title says, what do you wish someone had told you about your Captivate Glide. What do you wish you had known right away?
For instance, for my previous phone, I went for two months before I discovered that although Sony's firmware did not include the quick toggles on the pull down notifications menu as google started including in 4.2 and Samsung already included since 2.x times, there were apps to simulate that (such as Widgetsoid). Or that for my firmware version, rooting cleared the memory, so I would loose all my game saves and anything that the app didn't explicitly had the option to backup to the sd card or cloud when I decided to root. And so on.
Thanks for the input!

Well, this is more of a 'thing I WAS told, but didn't really believe' sort of thing. Every review I read on the phone remarked about how flat and flush the QWERTY keyboard was. I thought to myself, if it is even a little bit raised up, then it would work 100x better for playing certain games like SNES emulators than the onscreen keyboard, and it would make typing a lot easier.
But no, it really is flat. Really, really, amazingly flat. It is barely raised at all, less than 1mm for sure. I got to try it out in the store before I bought it and was shocked despite the warnings. Yet it was still a great phone for a good price, so I bought it anyway, hoping that I could get used to it.
What it means is that you can't really 'touch-type' very well. That is I still have to look at the keyboard while I type, so it's only marginally better than an onscreen keyboard for typing.
For gaming, maybe if it was a turn based RPG where you don't move around a lot, like a SRPG it would be better than the onscreen keyboard, but for all else it's more frustrating than it is useful.
This isn't really a dealbreaker for me, but it is a little disappointing. My roomie has a Droid Razr 3 with a keyboard and it is a really nice one, it was such an odd decision on Samsung's part to make it so flush, it almost defeats the purpose of having one. You do have more screen real estate than with a virtual keyboard while typing, and slightly better accuracy- but that's about it.
