Hi all,
We developed software that suits well on 2020 and 2020i. Yesterday, I noticed that the Qtek 2020i isn't available anymore!
Now we are looking for an alternative device that has the same functionalities as the 2020i WITHOUT any fragile keyrboard.
What we need is:
- GSM / GPRS
- Bluetooth
- SD-cardslot
- 3,4 " screen
- Camera on board
What are alternative devices on the market??
Sam
Charmer, Prophet, Wizard are the HTC devices currently available, see http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_PhoneModels
The processors are < Alpine. I think Prophet is the only one with a full size sd. All are WM2005.
Or have a look at your local www.expansys.com site.

I did this also and noticed E-ten, but they all have a 2.8" screen... :?
Any other suggestions?
Sam
Oops, diddnt notice the screen size
Don't Mio do a 'fullsized' one. The 701 has 2.7" but I thought there was another. Did a quick google but I couldn't find it.
[EDIT] Looking at http://www.mio-tech.be/products/ looks like if they did it is discontinued
i am also searching for an alternative. the alpine is almost 2 years old and the most companys just won´t to build in an 520mhz processor like in the alpine. so what is the improvement?? 3.2 inch display is also ver rare...
Has anyone of you got a device with less than 520mhz and uses powerful gps navigation like igo? what is your experience? is 400mhz (not to mention 200mhz) with windows mobile 6 enough?
I can´t belive that i have to pay 500 bugs to get a device with a new OS and LESS mhz!!!
by the way...the universal is much to big for me.
please post your opinions!!! thx.
I have the same opinion. I also don't want to buy slower device...
I have a Panda (P6300) on order. The specs are similar and the form factor nearly identical
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=735&id2=164
I'm not familiar with the Alpine, but a lot of reviewers are calling the Panda a throwback, or retro device and mentioning it in the same breath as the Alpine.
The Panda is only running at 400Mhz, but perhaps the reported speediness of WM6 might help to make up some of the difference in that regard, as compared to the Alpine's 520Mhz processor. It ships with WM5, but there is speculation that HTC will offer a WM6 upgrade.
panda?
hi, the panda seems to be a really good device.... where did you order it?? and how much?? thank you very much for further information!
I ordered mine from Dynamism. They don't carry them so it was a special order. It only took them 5 days to get it there, and they shipped it to me on Friday. I should have it Tuesday. I've seen them around from $629 - $749US. Mine was right in the middle, though I can't quote you an exact price as it was special order. You can call them to find out what they would charge you.
I hope it is good device. It is nothing fancy and has drawbacks, but it should serve me well so long as it does well what it is supposed to do.
Good Luck!
Why don't we try to get the WM 5.0 out of the panda and try it in our ALPINEs
Did any one try to do that ?
BT have a new one out aimed at the Corporate user who missed something similar to the XDA2i with its larger screen. Cant remember what it is called but it is the same form factor as the XDA2i just WM5 and a better camera. Made specially for them by HTC.
The new o2 one with a 3.5 inch screen is called the XDA Argon basically an updated XDA2i, think it came out in July
Hello all,
I have been a part of this forum since Mar 2005. This was about the time I got my Blue Angel and have to say have been a very very satisfied user. Apart from the occasional hiccups such as the stylus('s) falling off, a shaky sliding keyboard and the bluetooth issue, the Blue Angel has been a very faithful device and is still chugging away!
Having moved to the Asia Pacific region, I have work that takes me to countries such as Korea and Japan. Now herein lies the issue with the Blue Angel. No 3G access!
Given that, I guess its time to move on to a PDA that would support all of the Blue Angel capabilities (I loved the large screen) and at the same time be a natural upgrade.
I needed advice from the forum gurus here as to what would be a good candidate amongst all the phones. I would prefer to be in the XDA genre given the wealth of information and trouble shooting that the forum enables and assists with.
Any experiences (good and bad)
Deepak
XDA Flame.Period!
Xda Flame is not supported by xda-developers
As to the new phone, you would have to specify some more. Would do exactly want to do with it? 3.5" or 2.8" screen?
Moving on
Hi all,
So these are features I would be looking for:
1. Large screen: - 3.5' is just fine
2. Bluetooth A2DP functionality and other profiles
3. Wifi
4. Keyboard
5. No loose stylus
6. Recharge capability from laptop
7. Not now, but Vista compatible
8. Good battery life
9. Extended support by the XDA family
and of course
10. 3G
I would expect this to be standard features in a lot of the new models coming out. Not sure though which would be a feasible one.
Only two devices do match all your requirements. HTC Universal and HTC Athena. Generally if you could live with a smaller 2,8'' screen, there are many choices then.
Hey guys,
I've just bought a new phone and it had to be the Lumia 930. It is damn awesome and I love the windows design!
But: Recently there's a new app called dubsmash for Android and Iphone. Is there a possibility to port it to WindowsPhone or an alternative to get this cool app on my new shiny phone ?
No results on the store for that name.
Unless the app came from somebody on XDA, there's not a lot of point asking here. It's not like we have the source code to port it with...
Have you checked with the app developer?
I use a LG G3, 2 years later, looking at LG G5... Its ugly, smaller screen, no back buttons, no wireless charging, disappointed, so... now looking at P9 Plus as the best phone out there... Where are you coming from? And why the interest in the P9?

P9 plus will be expensive..
For me apealing features :
64gb+4gb+DualSim+IrBlaster+5.5InchScreen+FingerprintReader+DualSpeakers
(Other main features are add on for me ?? )
Like force touch+3400mAh+price+......
ALL THESE TOGATHER....finally!!!
Is there any phone with same or more features combined
Yes there was a phone with almost same features. ...HTC ONE ME but screen little small and Zero development.... so sad
Hope P9 Plus will get good support from Devs here in XDA
I am interested in the P9 Plus or the HTC 10, I'll be coming from a HTC M9+, I am also interested in the big screen, IR and stereo speakers. I just worry about the speediness of Huawei on OS upgrades. Not sure the P8 has officially got Marshmallow everywhere yet, so Lord knows when you'd get Android N with the P9 or P9 Plus

Totally agree, this is like the phone I've been waiting for since I got my G2. Unfortunately to me the 3rd party dev support is what's gonna make it or break it...
I've been a loyal BlackBerry user for as long as I've had a smartphone: 9000, 9800, Z10, Z30 and currently Passport. Unfortunately even I've had to admit that BB10 is in it's final death throes. I flirted with the Sony Xperia S between the 9800 and the launch of the Z10 and the 3rd party ROM development was a big attraction. However the spec of the P9 Plus ticks all the boxes and coupled with the fact that I'm a Leica owner anyway, the draw (gimmick) of the Leica tie in, means that even without the ROM development the P9+ is likely to be my next phone.
Do any of you know when this is coming to NA?

SII was the BEST phone of all galaxies until 6 edge released, on SII was all nice and smooth
Planning to come from Note 2... if everything goes well... especially price and dev support.

I hope the dev community gets even a little support, because I plan to come from a ZTE Axon Elite, the Mate 8 has a decent amount of dev support including ROM's and stuff so hopefully the P9 Plus does too. Other than that, the AMOLED display, the faster more efficient processor, bigger battery, and (hopefully) better camera are drawing me over my current device, I would highly doubt audio is better though.

Here are a few articles on P9/Plus.
==>
weak:
-****ty default UI & bloatware
-camera is decent but not breaking headlines
good:
apart from the weakness, all is superb
==>
so if someone from xda released an excellent and stable custom rom 6 month after release, this will fix the ****ty UI and bloatware problem, and the phone shall be one of the best on the market. Yes?!
If so i'm gonna make the switch from my iphone 6 plus
Have a Sony Z2 since release and searching for a new phone. I am interested in the camera, big memory and battery. Seems like a great phone! Hope the "bugs" will be fixed like battery drain and something with the SD-card not being able to behave like internal memory (please correct me).
Only a month left until I am able to buy a P9 plus. Oh, it is not shipped with the possibility to use 2 sims here in Sweden.

I came from an iPhone 6s plus and i must add that im blown away by the speed and smoothness of this phone.
Another thing to consider is the sustained performance that the phone can deliver, i haven't noticed any throttle after 1+ hours of gaming.

@ipsuvedi, it it going to be launched in India? If not, where else should we buy it from? Is alixpress trustworthy?
So almost everyone here is a Android guy or using it for a long time.
Let's get back to past.
So when you heard the name Android
And when you got an Android device ?
Share your story to us and have some fun with memories.
My story :
I don't actually remember when I heard the name for the first time but as I can remember I was using a Symbian phone and in a website I saw the name Android in app categories. Maybe it's 2011.
And my 1st Android phone was Samsung Galaxy Y young . My last Samsung as well
Star Wars
guess my 1st Android came as a Work Package almost 10yrs ago.
-Edit
I need to research the Nokia Ngage? I believe it is. 1st Gen Gaming Phone.
Yes, we had a version of NCAA Football for this Prototype.
It only showed Landscape?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-Gage_(device)
At the same time that the Palm Pre came out.
2009ish
Whenever Google announced it I think. I remember thinking "Wow! Linux on my phone... supported by Google?? This is a dream come true."
Oh, how young and naive I was
As far as I remember, I first heard of Android with the release of the Samsung Galaxy S2, I myself started using Android in 2014.
A m8s of me went with meh to buy Nokia GSM
And when at store
m8s said that touchpad/touchscreen is 'NOW'
I wanted Nokia Asha GSM
So copped 'Smartphoni'
And when installed Parts of A ROM: AlienROM V5-V6
for my XPERIA E
I encountered ViPER4Android which did not work
because no r00t/busybox, and really wanted it because it felt interesting.
Now I have X Compact (Kugo)
I like SONY kind of phones, X-series
...
Anyways..
first time I heard about Android was when the woman from Vodafone tried to sell me my old HTC Magic back in 2009 together with a mobile data contract. I didn't think highly of mobilephones until then but Android really changed my view (especially because of the Linux internals)
2010(not sure of the month) when I got my first Android device, the HTC Hero.
The first time I watched a sci-fi movie as a kid, about 35 years ago. :good:
When my age was 14.

The first time I heard word Android was at school, the first Android device I biught, when I was a student.
Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy - A long time ago.
I hear about Android when Samsung launches Galaxy S2.
Radiohead
star trek in the late 90's
On my birth, may be.
It was like 2009, I used to be a "modder" on old Nokia (BB5, S40 and related) and Old Sony Ericsson (DB2020, Db3150) and when my last phone dead I started to see in many forums a lot of screen shots and post talking about android, so I became a Android lover
2010 I think, heard it with GPS technologic.
