did a search -- can't find anything with that name.
Its Xperia NOT Xpervia
Checked out the X1. I still like the HTC Touch Cruise better. No sliding keyboard.
Just my Opinion.
X1 all the way!
wow.. the Xperia x1 looks amazing!!! does anyone know the release date here in America? this is probably going to be my next phone.
which phone?
If the Xperia X1 lives up to the specs I have seen that would be my choice. If not (money no object) I think the Athena. But I would have to take my time and try different devices. I would likely have a larger device (Athena or Imate 7150 or 9502) for the power when I have the storage space to carry it, with a smaller device for everyday carry.

According to Engadgetmobile the X1 will be available during the second half of 2008. http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/sonyericsson-xperia-x1-qwerty-with-windows-mobile/.
For now, I'd go with the HTC Kaiser. I think it's a solid device. I got mines a few weeks ago and loving it. I already flashed it several times with dutty's roms, even switched carriers (tmobile to AT&T) because I was fed up with the mms issues I was having with the 6.1 roms for my herald. Since I switched carriers, I haven't experienced no more mms problems, and enjoy 3g connection, which is much faster than tmobile's edge. Just my two cents
Like everyone else has said, the X1.
Why? Basically, better features, 400MHz, all the good stuff, ya heard? lol
One thing in particular...I heard (actual read, rumors maybe?) is that this phone is going to sell for about $300-400. Do you have any idea how great that sounds? It's even cheaper than the iPhone, but let's not get my hopes up.

Whoa!!! Really? Cuz I've seen pre-order reservations right around 1,000..... But we all know how accurate that can be...........
Hopefully you're right and I'll be getting a new phone in about 6 months!

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, that was just a stupid post I put earlier about the phone "going to [be] sold for about $300-400."
What the HELL was I thinking? Somebody slap me! I pretty sure this phone will be WAY more like around what you said, Chris.

Wow I would pick the Xperia X1 if I have $$ to spare
BUt idon´t like the dpad and joystick.. that really looks awful!!
but the system features are great..
I want to buy HTC X7510(16GB flash,WM6.1,128MB RAM). But, it is too expensive! I m now going to for cheaper ipaq 210. I'm deconverging. I'll be using herald as my phone but for pocket pc related tasks, I'll have the mighty ipaq for those purposes. And since herald will be there with me always, I'll have a 'backup' pocket pc too
I am in search of a new phone for Sprint. I have the Titan (Mogul) and want to upgrade. Not sure how long before the Diamond 2 will be available for Sprint. Any suggestions?
I checked with Sprints CSR's but they said they have not heard of it
wait for it
well in europe the diamond2 is launching april or may, as far as i have been told. but since you use sprint, i guess you are from USA right? and its said that USA would not get it until Q3 or Q4 of 2009. with that said i would wait no matter what, unless you really hate your titan. because diamond is good but diamond2 is for sure worth the wait
Well, Q3 or Q4, thats towards the end of the year. The titan is falling apart, i took it to get serviced and they charged $100, so i figured i might as well upgrade since i am due and i can get the Diamond for $199. Not sure what the Diamond2 is going to cost. Any word out?
If it comes out end of this year, i am sure I will be due for an upgrade by Q1 next year and by then they will have fixed all the ROM issues and bugs"? Ideas?
I would suggest not waiting for it as it might take forever or never to get to you particular cell phone provider. The Diamond thanks to this forum is great. As far as price is concern...based on speculation that the specs. are pretty much identical to the HTC HD, expect the price to be high....
So affordability might be an issue regarding this decision as well.
Thats exactly what i was thinking. not sure how long before Sprint actually starts to have them available on their network. Even if they have it end of this year for Christmas, it will take a few months for the price to be reduced and at that time i will be eligible for an upgrade to another phone by late Q1.
What is the best ROM to have on the diamond and what suggestions do you all recommend once i receive it? I am sure i have lots of read on this site to make the most of the Diamond, but any quick suggestions?
How is the texting on it, easy to use? i am used to the full keyboard from titan.
I will send you my thoughts / recommendations in your PM box....check there
thanks for your recommendation. i will place the order today for the Diamond. Any links you all want to recommend me to so that i can view it and learn more about the Diamond before it arrives?.
for me, the diamond2 getting bigger is a big reason why i didn't wait for it. and there's no guarantee that sprint will even carry the diamond2 anyway and as others have said it'll probably be q409 before they have it at all.

but the music audio quality of the Diamond is way worse than the Touch HD one right? I'm asking because I'm indecisive between the two for months now :/
Sprint being CDMA not GSM will likely take longer before carying it them people are estimating.. I would guess mid 2010 if ever & By then if they jump on the LTE train with the pther 3 carriers they may not be all that inclined to cary a high end device that they will have to replace so soon.. & if there not jumping on the LTE train then there going to be suffering BADLY network wise & You would be better off moving elsewhere..
I have had my Tilt for a little over a year now and I realy like it alot, but being a forward thinking person I understand that when my contract is up in 8 months or so I am going to want a new phone. I have been scouring fourums and manufacturer websites and have been unable to find anything that fills the Tilts shoes. One of my main concerns is that other phones all seem to be getting rid of the buttons on the front which I want to keep. does anyone have any suggestions for a replacement phone, already out or on the way?
wait and see what is coming out in 8 months.
There's not many phones worth the price or trouble to replace the Kaiser. I'd just wait and see what going to be new in the market. I heard HTC maybe making a phone with the Nvidia graphics chip, so that maybe worth the wait.
Otherwise, most new HTC phones are using a 128 Mhz faster CPU, with slightly more ram, storage, accelerometer, and higher resolution screen. Higher Megapixel camera too, if that matters to you. Some new phones don't even have a keyboard, so you'll have to use the touch screen.
If I were to buy a new Smart Phone, it'll probably be based on the Android OS. If WM6.5 doesn't get a massive overhaul, then Android is the way to go.
There are many android phones coming out that I would like to have.
Sony Ericsson Xperia 2!!! Cool Phone!
Nope here it is, the uber mega phone to crush all other phones.

Well, I can tell you my 2 years is up, and I am probably going to get the Touch Pro 2 (aka Tilt 2) from AT&T when it comes out.
when is that supposed to come out??

Originally it was scheduled for Oct. 6th, but ROM bugs apparantly pushed that back to Oct. 18th. However, I'd bet you could get it a few days earlier if you asked the AT&T reps. I got my Tilt 3 days early, so I don't think getting the Pro2 would be terribly difficult to get ahead of schedule.
Personally I'm thinking of switching to a BlackBerry if another good HTC doesn't come out. I got the Tilt as a replacement to the 8125 and I couldn't be happier. I've had it for a long time now and it's extremely durable. I've dropped it numerous times and it's still in good condition. The 8125 broke after the 5th drop so I was vary happy about the replacement.
i just went to my ATT store and asked if they heard about a tilt 2 or touch pro 2 coming out in october. and the reps there said they havent heard of anything like that coming out in october... is there some news link that says something about this phone??

The Boy Genius Report posted this story, and if you google "Tilt 2", you'll find quite a few pictures and articles concerning it. When I asked my AT&T reps, they said they didn't know anything officially, but one who seemed to be senior over all the rest said that he wouldn't be surprised considering all the things online about it.
I'm saving up for a new phone, and I'm not sure if i should wait for wp7s. I really want the nexus as I love my g1, but I also want to try wp7s as I also really love my zune. will it be possible to port win phone 7 series to the nexus one? afaik, there are no winmo 6/.1/.5 roms for any android phones.
It might it might not. Windows phone 7 is having strict phone specs which is why only the HTC HD2 is rumored to get the update.
Compare the specs of the Phone 7 to the nexus and if too many things are out of line, it might be a no, it'd require too much time for the devs.
now why on earth would you wanna put a windows on nexus?
Would probably be possible with a bit of hacking here and there. If I remember correctly the requirements are something along the lines of 3.5" screen, 1GHz snapdragon, 256MB RAM and 3 hardware buttons.
Besides the larger screen and hardware buttons the HD2 is basically identical to the Nexus One.
is there a reason (like licensing) that winmo 6.5 was never ported to an android device then? b/c if it is licensing, I doubt we'll be seeing wp7s on the nexus one

It is because we all got Android to get away from WM, so there is no real desire to do it by anyone with the know how.
Also, the HD2 isn't getting WM7.
Ive been wondering the same thing and if we can get htc sense thats on the hd2

Do a google search... it has been all over the news since MWC and the announcement of hardware requirements that are not compatible with the HD2. Also, HTC confimed as much sometime this week, I think today, maybe yesterday.
Bonus, here is the link to google news results:
http://news.google.com/news?q=hd2 w...=&startPage=1&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wn
so since wp7s won't be on the hd2, I assume a N1 port will be a similar affair to what eclair on the g1 was a few months back: no camera, or other hardware features. I'll probably end up getting a N1 and waiting to see how wp7s turns out/matures.

Yeah, and WP7 won't be out until this fall anyways.
And of course you could always just get the phone you want now, and trade it and some cash for a future phone? Personally, I'm waiting till Nokia's Morph thing becomes tangible before I really sink money into a new phone.

wasn't planning on upgrading until about august though, so who knows what will happen by then. for all I know, the nexus two will be out.

Well in that case, don't even start looking until July, otherwise you will just spend the next 5-6 months fretting over nothing... although, if I were looking at an August upgrade, I would hold out until October or November since cycle wise, that is when HTC is done releasing their new round of phones.

exactly, my hope is that the nexus will drop in price by then. we'll see. I never buy anything without doing months of research on it.
I've only heard bad things about the current and older winmo phones but I'm curious about word processing I bet its got great Microsoft word programs if nothing else. Is it impossible to take winmo word processing apps and rewire them for android? The best option we have that I'm aware of is documents to go which is OK but it seems like winmo would have full Microsoft office for their cell phones. I'm sure im probably dreaming, I searched but Nov '09 was the latest info that I found...
Hey there
So, my HTC 8x is about to die, I guess, and I am looking for a new phone. With Ubuntu touch and all comming up, I think the HTC One is the best piece of hardware out there currently (also I love the design). The only thing I don't like about it is the price... it's still around 450€ where I live.
So, me, never paying attention to price developements, was wondering if it makes any difference if I buy it now, or wait until "The All New One" comes out.
Also can anyone give me an update on the Ubuntu touch developement progress for the One?! - I only find very contradictory comments on the Internet - some say, it's almost done, others claim it will never happen.
Or do you say the One is crap and I should go for another phone? I really want to try Ubuntu touch, so that's one of my priorities, next to "flagship-hardware"

I have the HTC One and it's great.
However, if you're looking for something at a lower price, why don't you check the Nexus 5? It's for sure the best value for money.
I think it's also better for unofficial development (even if I can't complain with the One).
As fas as I could find, it's better supported by Ubuntu Touch (but never tried).

Bro, the HTC One is an AMAZING handset and my personal favourite of 2013. The speakers and design and build quality are lightyears ahead of the Nexus 5. But, the 2014 edition of the One will be released on the 25th of March. I say that the updated One would be something you should definitely wait for.
Regarding Ubuntu Touch, Canonical isn't really doing much at the moment. I guess that once they release a phone with Ubuntu Touch, the OS will be ported to the One. There is a port for the One. It lacks connectivity though
Thanks
I know the One is an awesome piece of Hardware the Nexus 5 not so much, a friend has it, and it feels really cheap.
I will for sure not be going to buy the "The All New One" - I bet it's going to be even more awesome, but I'm not willing to spend 650€ on a new phone...
What I was actually wondering is, if anyone knows how the release of the new One will affect the One's price - I have never payed any attention on price-developenemts, and so I'm asking you And I don't mean used deviced, but new ones from Amazon or something...
(Also does anyone use The One without Google? I do use google mail, calendar and contacts, but I don't want them to know about every step I make...)
