My Excalibur is useful because ...
I can use it as a makeshift mp3 player.

my Excalibur is useful because it's got my personality.
I would have to say it's huge for email. It keeps me up to date with my accounts on the fly. I also use it as a phone and texts. Once you go Qwerty you won't go back. I've used my own gps for my car that has touch screen and the Garmin is a whore of a keyboard at times. I'm still not sold on a phone with touchscreen. Hey but that's me.
A great travel toy. Movies, music, and games. If you have ever been waiting for a haircut or dentist office. It makes the time go by in a flash.
First HTC probably not my last.
XDA is the real deal. There are so many talented people here. I just try to pass on any knowledge I have picked up. It's the least one could do.

Pukka - This term has been revived recently by one of our popular young TV chefs. It means super or smashing, which of course is how he describes all his food.
yo stylez, how is it that you and i destroy a thread before it even gets going?
must be because we kick so much ass...or something like that...

thats what i love about brits!!!!!! i have no idea what in the hell you just said...but it sounded good..
your phone is a girl? what do you and your phone do on your pillow at night? i believe the world would like to know.
and to keep on topic: im currently using my dash to configure a router...

i use my dash for everything...otherwise i'd be pretty bored during class...
use it for music, somtimes travel directions..surfin the web n email mostly...and of course phone n texting...

The look and feel of dash in hand is big, one of the best built phones I've ever had. I use it for games, nes, snes, gameboy, sega, java and smartphone with over a thousand and counting on my phone lol. Sound quality in call is great especially on receiving end. Also use it to learn different languages, music and video's. My one stop source for entertainment!!! Well until my g1 gets here anyways

Haha well we have to see what the G1 has in store man, and did you get the black on for 299?

so excited that i have got my rhodium i decided to start a thread so people who share my excitement when they 1st got theirs can post! hope the moderator don't close me down.................
it is beautiful and so slim considering what is under the hood! been trying that dual speakerphone system and it works well. tried using in noisy environment and it auto fades out surrounding noise so you can hear what other person is saying! still cant stop the wind blowing into speakers though!
interesting to see what battery life will be on this thing as that could be its achiles heel! added coreplayer via cab and it works well. videos look stunning! the tilt screen is much stiffer so it don't flop about like on my old kaiser/tilt. used to think the screen on my kaiser would fall off at anytime! it would be nice if people posted the their initial feelings of the device wen 1st received and thoughts after a few days of use. i will be!
thanks all

Keep us posted

waiting for mine shall have it tommorow will post my firt initial thoghts on the phone ad then long term use ie battrey life.

well i guess this is one of the few times we are allowed to feel like that! after initial 12 hr charge i am gonna put battery through its paces! seems to be an issue from some reviews on web. will see tomorrow and update! can't believe that MS hasn't updated WMP but i got coreplayer and thats a beast!

Oh ok sweet yeah post on the battery if you would. So WMP doesnt play movies well? On my touch hd it seemed to play better than coreplayer for me for some reason. I cant wait to try it out tomorrow How is the speaker volume? for music and ringtones

Keep in mind that it takes like 3 full battery uses and reloads to get the battery on its best.

yeah i know that but cheers for pointing out. getting its ass kicked today to see how it holds up after 1st charging cycle. gave it overnight charge - 12hrs. really hope battery holds up as this could be the only thing that could be its undoing. however saying that, when all the cooks start building rhodium roms etc i am sure there will be things in place to aid battery life!

few other things
no spare stylus. searched whole box and nothing.................
slide out mechanism is a bit stiff for my liking but like the sturdier feel to tilt screen. not sure bout purple background and do like the t-mobile look. that will be my 1st enhancement changing clocks and penguin to t-mobile rhodium look! will post screenshots of how it looks once done! very quick scrolling and smooth accross tabs. mem usage 50% as standard. music playback is more than suitable and in my opinion quite good! FINGERPRINT magnet my god! ugh hate that but will have to live with it! screen protector in box but i can never apply without getting bubbles underneath! big fingers/hands. i find tilt suitable enough for watching vids from my desk or table at home! can't wait to see WM6.5 on this machine
edit: still have the issue where i have to untick proxy in connections to get certain web apps working on t-mobile. for example messenger! not a big prob and doesn't slow down connection speed!

no worries! posted a few more observations above. must have been typing at same time as you!

finger menu is there and almost instant. synced my hotmail and gmail accounts with no issues. camera is 3 mgp and very adequate in good light conditions. that high res screen makes all the difference. video recording is awesome dude, best performance on any HTC deivice IMHO! call quality is great and very crisp. tv out is there but alas no cable and haven't searched to see if available yet!

multemidia
opera 9.5 there and works well but no flash support. IE is there but older version not new version. flash i however supported in IE. will update IE with cab i have for new version. been bashing since morning from bout 8.30am and till 3 bars left in battery.

di.fm - streaming on wp7?

My brother has shown interest in wp7, but one thing that would keep him from getting one anytime soon would be this website. This is where he streams most of his electronic music from and his iPhone can stream it fine, but none of the browsers for wp7 can as far as I've been able to figure out.
Anybody use this site? There any way to get this working on wp7? Android & iPhone have di.fm apps, but they aren't going to be doing wp7 for a bit yet it looks like (BB one currently in public beta).

ask the makers of the app if they have any plans for windows phone.

Their site states they will be looking into it after the BB app is completed. I was wondering if there is any way to stream that site on wp7 as of now.
If not, he'll just have to wait and get a phone later, which I suggested anyway.
From their site:
Nokia, WebOS, Win7, etc.
"Will re-evaluate after Blackberry is completed."
Could take a year or more from that quote.

"Tunein Radio" my friend on the marketplace and search exactly [DI] and all the playlists come up, Get yo brother on it when he gets one or show him.
But yeah, No official app yet so i still have to use laptop for the 256k feeds atm , but hell... works perfectly out and about and sounds great off the phone
*but saying that just did a test again to see how much different they really sound, and the phone does seem to give it an ample boost in the right areas. meh, still works, but cross fingers for the real app*

Everyone on Smallville seems to love WP7...

Just watching some Smallville... seen an LG Quantum, Samsung Focus, and a Samsung Omnia all on one episode... If I wasn't already hooked on WP7 then this episode would've made me fall in love with the UI.

I didn't realize that show was still around...

Still on season 9 myself. Good to,see ms do some,product placement though. Never saw that on winmo.

Exactly
The WP7 Kimmunicator

I also saw some overly cheesy promotional use of WP7 in an episode of Hawaii Five 0 last night.
Somehow, Bing managed to autosuggest an obscure modern artist after only three letters were entered.
Shame really as they could construct better scenarios to show how useful the phone OS could be.

I've also seen them on Bones and Castle. Castle was rather fun as he's always used an iPhone before (and I believe after) this.

Hmm they're on a break right now ..right?
There wasnt an episode last week?
or did i miss it...

Nokia Lumia Live - Watch it here

Definitely not good enough for me to buy but you have to give it to Nokia: They're advertising the hell out of it. This was in London last night.

That yellow thing creeps me out.
Looks more like a rave video.

A couple of mates headed down to this last night. Said it was great.
Shame the live feed had issues. Will re-watch when i'm home. Gotta love a bit of deadmau5

pretty bad a$$

looks like everyone is using whatever that badass projector is to launch a phone. figured they'd show off the OS instead of a giant rave, but whatever.
the mouse mixer was purdy good- what's his name/handle so i can pirate some of his stuff ?
