Its 18 months or so since I joined this forum, and it was because of my new MDA Vario II.
I'm now due for an upgrade, and there is only one phone I want - the III.
So, tell me - what should I do? I'm so confused and disapointed. I use my Vario II to stream YouTube video and surf the web, and from what I've seen, the III isn't up to it.
Please tell me I'm wrong and I should call for my upgrade tomorrow !!!!

Get the kaiser
Seriously, do you want to buy mine off me / swap? T-mobile branded, but you can flash / do what you like with it.
I really can't use it as an everyday phone. On another forum (hexus.net) the guy said simply - it's not a phone as such. It's a tool for techs / devs or whatever who need the extra functions. But for a phone it lacks in many usability ways that your average nokia / SE / samsung does not. It's a shame really, the device has so much potential to be awesome, it's completely the software side of things that lets it down.
It has dropped a fair few useful features from WM5 / earlier versions too - like having a t9 text input rather than a touchscreen keyboard. Now you *have* to get the stylus out if you want to send a quick message without altering from portrait to landscape to use the hard keyboard, which takes around 2 - 3 seconds anyway for the hardware to redraw it.
Looks like HTC are working on the vids driver issue. Someone has suggested a patch in feb/march. Have a read of some of the posts on it.
take the plunge. get one.

Yea I read that. But also read a post saying that there is no driver due for release since there is no ATI Imageon hardware built in to have drivers for. Who knows? There comes a point where you need to say you've had a product that hasn't delivered what you expected for long enough. However, it is full of features so maybe a good choice. But if I was buying right now with the knowledge I have now I'd probably not get a smart phone but something nice and simple that could perfectly perform the duties I wanted it to
So short answer: it's up to you
Thanks for that feedback guys. I'm pretty use to my MDA and its functionality, even though making a call can be sometimes difficult.
So, is video playback as bad as is mentioned?
Also, I use voice dialing and the hands-free speaker. Are these functions on the III?
cheers guys,
Ratzz
I watch youtube on mine all the time. I think it is just fine. I have been using the Kaiser now for 5 months and I love it and would not make another choice.
kaiser really is something
Yes those feature are in it out of the box. U should get one. All in all, it is the best pda out yet. I personally love mine, and with the right rom u can make it fly. It doesnt have problems with any 320X240 video, and with the new coreplayer 1.1.3 not even with bigger ones so get it. It's a great pda phone!

Thanks guys -- still a great place to be for advice!
Speaking of the right ROM, which is the right ROM.
I never flashed my Vario II, but have been reading a bit about it.
Can anyone point me to the right thread for a first timer?

The Vario II is the HTC Hermes. Have a look here at the upgrading forum. There are some stickies on HardSPL, which you must follow before upgrading the ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=306
Hello!
Anyone know if there is a Stock exchange application on the Touch Diamond?
Just like the one in the IPhone.

Im getting used to that response. Theres simply nothing new these days that works WITH the Diamonds VGA screen rather than against it.
Im seriously beginning to wonder why I bought a Diamond.

Okay so whats the solution for the stock exchange app then? There isnt one.
There are no damn apps being developed anymore for WM especially on high end VGA devices.
I too would like a decent stock exch app.. if im moaning over nothing, point me in the right direction and i'd gladly shut up
Well it wasn't a good app.I better just wait for a better app to come a long.

I can only see about 1/2 of the cells vertically. I guess it only works if you reduce your text size in windows... but then the phone itsn't finger friendly anymore.
yes,i also have that problem.
Try this:
http://www.pocketx.net/products/pocketstockmonitor_ppc/index.html
I used on my Kaiser and use in my Diamond...
Works perfect.
It has only one issue...
SOmetimes, when you starts the program, there is a fade on the screen... But you have only to press the power button twice and the programs goes well...
Would be great if HTC Home has a tab for stock exchange and share price update. HTC did it for weather, why stop there. Stock price should be next.
Yes,i agree. Hopfully a application that will work perfectly with the TouchFLO 3D.
Stock App Think Anywhare
I use Think Anywhere from Think Or Swim, its pretty cool, but is more than just quotes, Its a whole trading platform. Need subscription, but no deposit requiredment. You can do Paper trading with it.

Ok,il think i going to try it out.
Check out this video: http://tests.magnus.de/mobile/artikel/exklusiv-video-htc-touch-hd.html
It's the new Touch HD with HTC's Stock Market Tab in manilla! Who will be the first to port it on diamond?
Wow,that one looks really great. Hope somone can make it to the Diamond

I have flashed the CT ver 6.2 Lite ROM. It has the Manila HD stock tab built-in. Works great.
Tried this
http://www.mobileblog.it/post/6476/ticker-tape-le-vostre-azioni-su-windows-mobile
Yeah- Ticker Tape is the way to go: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=460
I've used it...looks just like the iPhone app and it's easy to use and works well and was written for VGA
I am seeing that I am the only one posting in this forum. Nobody else is having touch viva or they don't have problem with the device?
What is the reason?
No
no, you are wrong i've touch viva and i haven't problems because i'm very very precise with all the installation and softwares...firstly i've installed only the necessary app, and i've inserted inside a MicroSD of 2GB, where i've collocated all of applications..secondly i think that is a very good telephone because it replaces the old HTC Touch...for 260€ is the best price for a PDA..infact this telephone have a lot of connection and i think that is better than the other HTC (i.e. HTC Jade or diamond) for some reasons: the long life of battery, the measures, and also the price, as I have already said, is very very convenient Which are your ideas?
so...W HTC TOUCH VIVA
p.s:
I'm always here, so you can write and i'll try to responde you in the best of the ways

Thanks devipera64 for your response.
I am happy with the device. It worths the price. Only some minor problems.
Will you please answer my other post about keyboard problem if you have any knowledge?
Thanks again.
Don't worry..if you would, you can write also me in PW..i've saw that the people likes a lot the Diamond's devices..i think that 500€ for a PDA, that isn't indestructible, isn't a good chosen, above all for the pockets of the customers So a PDA like ours, is the top for the level quality/price
ya thats right. i am also happy with my htc viva. i am a new user and been a long fan of Symbian. hope to find this win mobile comparable enough.

Thanks for the suggestion. Actually, I just want the clock off, the article you are referring to gives you a digital clock with the user interface changed.
I love the Manila 2d user interface "minus" the huge arm clock in between. Any idea how to remove just that clock and reatain the rest..
Please suggest..
Hello,
Apologies if I'm in the wrong place (again).. I'm trying to buy a new phone and would love to run an android port on it. I'm currently looking at Sprint - at the HTC Touch Diamond ($199 after rebate etc) or the HTC Touch Pro ($299.. less desirable) the sprint site doesn't mention a querty keypad for the Touch Diamond.. Is it fair to assume the Touch Diamond is not a good candidate for android - or is there a touch screen keyboard now?
I'm really sorry if this post is off topic.. I've been all over the intertubes trying to find a good smartphone that will effectively run an android port (I'm well aware its under heavy development) that will atleast make phone calls (or should be able to soon). If the Touch Diamond won't work - can someone recommend a different phone?
Thanks,
Keith
Well seeing as the HTC magic and Hero are both non qwerty it would be safe to assume that there is an on board virtual keyboard.

Hi..
i am , at the time being, the only one that released an Omnia 2 HTC Sense ROM... i have it published @ Modaco, but it's a Beta 1, and with lots of issues...
I am currently working on next version, that will be improved... it is pretty 'usable' but far from PERFECT...
As i've just discovered this new XDA section, i will also participate here if there is enough interest (although Omnia2 communtiy @ Modaco is huge at the moment, we'll see how this goes) ..

Hi Omnia 2 master, glad to see you here as well. You are the man to make Sense 2.5 happened on Omnia II
I am currently holding a Xperia X1, very much tempted to upgrade to Omnia II or HD 2. Size wise I8000 fits me best but the memory issue and without Touchflo kind of let me down.
