Advice needed on getting new phone

HI I need your help please I'm about to get my hands on a new HTC diamond but I'm still nit 100% convinced ...
I need the SmartPhone for
1. Watch Anime with Subs / Movies and so
2. Read CHM files (ebooks for the matter)
3. Browse the web
4. Make/receive calls - SMS
having a VGA screen is a BIG plus but I'm wondering if 2.8" is big enough to actually enjoy points 1 and 2.
If somebody can post a picture of a diamond running core player with a movie with subs will be really nice as well as an ebook in the format previously mentioned
thanks a lot!!!
Note: I was thinking about getting the Omnia but.... no VGA baby

No One?
C'mon give me a hand.... I don't wanna spend that much money if it's not going to fit my needs

1. you are asking in the wrong forum.
2. go to a mobile shop and try some phones.

3. buy a touch HD

how's it going mate... some people aren't overly keen on such questions on the forum but hopefully I'll be able to answer your questions
1. Watch Anime with Subs / Movies and so
Watching anime/movies I find on the diamond is very good. I was happy enough with the size of the size for watching files on and I use a program called coreplayer which plays any file I've needed it to but it doesn't support all media types as far as i know. As for subtitles I've no idea as I've never tried
2. Read CHM files (ebooks for the matter)
Reading ebooks i find difficult on such a small screen due to the font size but it is possible I suppose. I'd recommend trying that out before buying to see if it meets your needs
3. Browse the web
I find the opera browser fantastic for browsing the internet with quality zoom function and also resizes webpages to suit the size of the screen. I mainly only use the internet when i'm in a wi-fi zone and therefore get very good speeds
4. Make/receive calls - SMS
Making/reciving calls is as per any phone I've used - Good reception quality
SMS - I personally think the diamond is exceptionally good for a touchscreen phone for sending SMS's on. I use the touch keypad which allows me to use predicitive text for entering messages. It was the main reason I opted for the diamond over the iphone
Hope this helps

sooo... as i said, get the HTC Touch HD

if you cared to notice the times of our posts you would realise I was writing mine as you posted yours... love the attitude of people on this forum always so friendly

Diamond will be able to do all you have posted....but, there is no way you will be able to read the subtitles...have tried by accident and they are just way too small.......

You want something bigger like HD or Omnia (actually, despite the low res screen, as good at browsing as the TD (i know, I have both phones))

awsum. what was this thread about?!?!

Thanks for the friendly replies... just try to get one of those high end phones here (Central America) it's imposible and spending $1000 on a HD (if someday it makes its debug on a US carrier) it's more than the average salary of an entire family
Also I'm asking about the diamond not the HD in first place.
but anyway I'm getting it (the US version)
thanks for your feedback

ok cool.
Hope you are Happy with ur purchase

You have to wonder why people ask for advice when they don't actually want it.
If you can't afford the HD then the Omnia is the better choice, as mentioned, you won't be able to read subtitles on a diamond. You asked about a Diamond yes, but, people advised you that it won't suit your puroses and thus recommended the HD - thats why it was mentioned.
Still your money..... your choice. Hope it works out for you.

I Need Help Putting Emulators on My Htc Fuze

hello sorry for asking such a newbie question but i just recently got a htc fuze and i saw on youtube that some people have SNES or NES on there phone i was wondering if there is anyone here that can assist me if i can put them on my htc fuze please and thank you

yes there is!!! yay!! his name is.......................................... Google O_O amazing huh?!?! but i do know he can be a bit overwhelming at times so don't forget this forum much every forum has a lovely "search" button which im sure you will be happy to use from now on to read and learn on your own before deciding to ask for everything spoon♠ fed to you again.

See the problem with what you're saying is...... YOU! Amazing huh? Why not reconsider the fact that not all of us are as "Tech Savy" as you... and not nearly as ignorant. Also, let's consider that he came to a DEVELOPER FORUM for help. You know the place where people trade ideas and software. So, let's all take a quick life lesson from this... If you don't have anything useful to provide, leave it alone. Just because we're 12 and Mommy and Daddy bought us a nice little PC and a cool phone and are too negligent to pay attention to the Bovine Fecal Matter that the little "Monkey" has managed to spread on the internet, doesn't mean the rest of the world wishes to hear your ignorance.
Now, Numb Nuts over here was right about one thing... Google. Search google for "SNES" "NES". The best I've found is PocketNester but it doesn't support Landscape mode which is a little disappointing. (Mario Bros looks awful in Portrait haha)
Second do a search for some of you're favorite games and save all of this in a folder on you're comp.
Using the Date Cable out of the box you can do one of two things.
First plug in the cable and either select Active Sync or Disk Drive.
Disk Drive is a little more convenient but only works with a MicroSD inserted.
Disk Drive - Drag and drop your folder of games on to the phone.
Active Sync - Once its connected, select Tools - Explore Pocket PC on your comp and Drag and Drop directly in to the phone.
Unplug and Navigate to the File Explorer. (Start-Programs-Tools- File Explorer) Select the Nester Cab and install it to the device. Open the Nester Program and the rest should be self explanatory from there.
Good Luck.

Does anyone have any suggestion for a way to control emulators? The keyboard gets the job done, but it's far from great, any suggestions for an external controller? Someone in another thread mentioned using a PS3 controller over bluetooth as a possibility, but I'm pretty sure it hasn't been done yet.

Ok, the operational/usable emulators I have working:
PocketNESter Plus - this version was made specifically for the Dash and other landscape screens. Works perfectly on every HTC I've owned 'cept the G1 (for obvious reasons). I'm using it on an excalibur, a tilt, and a raphael as we speak.
PocketSNES: this one takes too much horsepower for the Excalibur, but the others run it fine..one problem here is that I've been unable to get sound working as of yet..tho this is really a minor problem for most games.
I'll be trying more soon

Sorry my friend, I've tried every form of control I can think of and only the keyboard is truly usable. It takes some getting used to, but you'll get it.

oh i see what about picodrive?

Look the creator of this post does have some good reasons to aliens a better emulator. I was able to run pocketnester however I was not able to get pocketSNES to run on my Raphael. I tried for about 5 hours to find a vga compatible snes. I found many links to vga emulators, N0p and Tila builds, however those links were down. The pocketsnes emulator developers website is down. I found one build called SNES9x for PPC Ver .41. This ran Chrono Trigger pretty well with sound. However this program has no onscreen game pad and does not register my hardware buttons. However there is a fix that makes your wm6 run or emulate an older hardware keyboard setting. So the real question would be does anyone have a working vga snes? If you got the original PocketSNES to work that would be passable. I was hoping to get the OpenGL version. I googled and googled.

yea i tried downloading pocketnester but for some reason it would not find my roms or load them up its kinda confusing

sell my kaiser for an IPhone

So what do you think guys..Would it be wise for me to sell my kaiser over an IPhone? If not, please argue your response. I know this is a Windows Mobile thread, but I guess you can give me some objective answers.
Btw, if someone passed from IPhone to Kaiser or similar WinMob phone, I'd be very interested to hear from because I heard lots of users passing to IPhone but not the other way around.
Thanks!

I did exactly that, I had the Hermes (Cingular's 8525) and used this forum and ROMs from here and I thought all was great but I got into the hype and waited in line on opening day and got the Iph0ne (1st Gen)...
I used it for about a year (a little more) and well just got tired of it for me and my needs... Now I have the Kaiser (tilt) and I am not missing the Iph0ne.

Answering your question requires more information.
It entirely depends on what you use your phone for.
I find that having the full, hardware keyboard makes email, note taking, and appointment management much easier than on an iPhone.
So, what do you use your phone for?

Hero's PDF Reader on other ROMS?

I was wondering since folks have been able to port the HTC Music Player out of Hero into other ROMS I was REALLY hoping someone figured out a way to do the same for the PDF Reader. It renders PDF files that other PDF readers hiccups with flawlessly and I'm gonna say goodbye to my Hero ROM for the more practical CyranogenMod. Thus I thought it would be awesome if this could be ported or someone is already working on it, surely if it isn't already it should be since it doesn't seem as heavy duty as the HTC Music Player which is already ported out
and incase i get any snark yes I searched in here with "PDF" but get "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms." so any help would be appreciated

i doubt you searched. PDF brought up a huge list for me here are my results.. PDF viewer is already available is most of the ROMs around here, i know for a fact cyanogens latest experimental has it, im looking at it right now on my phone lol. if you want it, just pull it from a build and install/push with adb or using linda.

Need general help with modding the X8 in 2021

So here's the deal. I got an old X8 with Android 1.6 from ebay a few months back for the fun of it and I've been trying to install cyanogenmod or something similar on it so I could use it as a portable emulation device. Now I'll be honest, I'm a complete noob. (My greatest computing achievement is installing Puppy Linux on a laptop 5 years older than the X8.) I've scowered these here forums and other places on the web far and wide but still came out unsuccessful. I couldn't even figure out how to boot it in fastboot mode, which was the hurdle that killed it for me. I think so far I've only managed to root the thing, whatever comes after just keeps flying over my head. So here's what I would like to do.
-Install apps capable of decently emulating systems such as the PS1, GBA, GBC, N64, MD, 32X...
-Connect a gamepad through USB or BT (If even physically possible)
-Preserve the media playback abilities of the device as it came, as well as the ability to take photos
-Being able to browse the web and watch videos would be kinda cool too but I know it's a stretch...
I know that all the stuff I need is probably still out there somewhere but as I said I am a *complete and utter* noob with honestly little skill and patience.
So if anyone here is willing to help me with any guidance (or perhaps even a step-by-step guide, oh my!) on how to squeeze the best out of the wee thing with the best ROM, be it Cyanogenmod or anything else, or get it to work with a proper controller with the best apps and stuff, I will be very grateful. I'll offer you my French skills if you need them lol. Also sorry for writing a text brick...
