Seeking worthy successor to Tilt

Contract w/ ATT up in June, any suggestions / rumors for a good replacement? Prefer HTC, maybe others? I want at least the functionality of the Tilt, and then some. Maybe WM7 based? I like newer stuff and don't mind tweaking, actually insist on some tweak-ability http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

I would go with the Pro2. It has the tilting screen that the Touch Pro didn't, and this time in WVGA. It will be released with 6.1, but will be upgradable to 6.5. In theory, it will be upgradable to WinMo 7 too, but only time will tell. The worst that could happen is you could have to flash a custom WM7 ROM. If you buy the Unlocked version from a place like Expansys-USA, I am expecting a price tag of at least $750. Check out this and this.

Tx Dave, this baby is sweet!

Yes the TILT 2 or TILT PRO is what I've been waiting for.

You know AT&T is going to fsck up the keyboard.

Unless something better comes along -- I plan to get the Pro2 when my Kaiser dies (or when the prices for the Pro2 come down a bit )
I will sure miss all the buttons and the jog wheel though

*This* was my next phone before HTC unveiled the TP II , now we will have to compare.

I know that T-Mobile will supposedly be getting the touch pro 2, but have we heard anything about at&t even getting it?

If my sources are correct, it is extremely likely that AT&T will get this, I believe by December. However, they will probably ruin it as usual with trial applications, junk shortcuts to their services, and they will most likely ruin the keyboard, etc. This is why I'm just gonna save up, pay more to buy it unlocked and bypass AT&T entirely.

I love it when people say "if my sources are correct"

I gave away my tilt to my friend and got myself a iPhone 3G last week... Boy what a improvement... Also try blackberry bold, that thing is a beast as well...

According to my sauces, it will be called the Barium ( as in Barium enema ) and yes, it will include the great AT$T keyboard.

Here's a video demo of how it works. This something I would GLADLY pay for!! ​

+1 looks good

I was looking for such an app!!

Yeah, you can chop, sample, mix, effects, and just about anything else you can do with a full sized drum machine. I know this is an extremely complex app, so chances are, we're SOL. but here's to wishful thinkin!!!

Yes this could be good, plug your TP into a mixer, brings a whole new capability to the device.
I also think though, that to port such an app would be an enormous task.
+1 on wishful thinking

Close thread
I think it's safe to say we can go ahead & close this thread. It's not getting too much interest, so i'm assuming it's either damn near impossible to port, or none of the dev's are really willing to give it a shot. Hopefully someone will drop a similar program from WM.

can somebody please port this i need this in my life.

People People...Look
You people have to Do your homework there is ton's on ppc Recording Studio Apps a big one is Called phoenix Studios /you have pocket music Studios/you have pocket jamz/ So go look them up

no my friend... while these are all nice apps, they are NOT beat maker. None of the afore mentioned apps have a full functioning drum machine built into it. Not to mention, NONE of the apps allow for 3rd party plug-ins like Pro-Tools export, rewire, t-racks, etc. Beat Maker is the real deal. I'm seriously debating buying a iTouch SIMPLY for this app!!

Maybe you should contact the maker of the App and see if he would port it himself. Maybe he's already making a WM version to sell on the Windows Marketplace.
For the record, I would also be willing to pay to get a port of this app.

damn, why on EARTH didn't i think of this myself?! i might have to look into this.

i have this app "phoenix Studios" and i love it but its not vga and i stop using it because i didnt have enought memory to keep it going on my old ppc6700.
i almost got an iphone just to get that drum machine apps.

Wouldn't the fact that Raphaels do not have a capacitive touchscreen really hinder this Apps original functionality/awesomeness?
Our touch screens are resistive, and are thus incapable of multitouch like an iphone or g1 for example. (I have seen a demo of multitouch on a supposedly resistive screen around on the nets, but never seen a resistive device with multitouch capabilities released) http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/stantums-mind-blowing-multitouch-interface-on-video/ here's the vid
Just a thought, hope your dreams aren't too dashed.

no need to multitap and such.. we just gotta contact the maker of beatmaker and see if hes brewing a version for WM6.1 platforms!

so is this thing ported yet?

Omniano the Band, is the closest thing to date. The other would be Little Snazzy Drummer, which has a free Lite version as well as a paid version. Neither of these are quite as complex as the app. you mentioned, though I find them both very usable and entertaining.

Help me get my wife a real phone

Hi,
My wife's LG Shine is getting awfully long in the tooth and I seriously want to upgrade her to a WM phone with GPS, WiFi, etc. (I'm a touch hd owner-LOVE IT). THe problem is that she doesn't like the plain, brick-like form factor of my HD. She wants something that looks cool and is appropriate for a business woman (she own her own consulting biz in China). Can anyone help me out with recommendations? The plane black candy bar is out, what else is there in a full featured phone?? Price is not a concern when it comes to my better half ;-)
MANY THANKS in advance!!!!

Coolest looking WM phone?
Hi,
I'm looking for a new phone for my wife, she hates the plain look of my Touch HD. What's the coolest/nicest looking full-featured phone you've seen? Price is not a concern...thanks a TON in advance for any suggestions!

go for a touch pro or get the new one when it comes out!

What about a Touch Diamond2, do you think she'd like that?

The Touch Diamond2 might look good on her...

I think she will love the Touch PRO 2 if she prefers having a keyboard, the HTC Advantage X7510 is too big for first time owners.
Don't go for the Sony X-peria, it has casing manufacturers defect.

diamond 2 looks good...

Thanks for the suggestions, please keep them coming! She's not into the keyboard at all, she actually really likes my Touch HD, if only it came in another color!!!

You are kidding right? This is off-topic and I can post whatever the hell I want.

Hrmm...the search for a white diamond begins...thanks!! I'll let you know if I can find one!

yes except the fact you posted in both general and off topic that is aganst the rules

Get her an iPhone, my wife loves hers. And it is a real womens phone. It has everything that appeals to someone that is not serious about their phone. It is a serious piece of fluff and my wife loves it.
Best part is, you can play with it , and you don't have to admit that you own an iPhone.

LOL!!! I have to admit I've snuck into an apple store once or twice to solidly molest the iPhone for a while... I'd never use one myself for all the obvious reasons but it was dirty and kind of exciting to fiddle with it

How is this relevant to the HD2?
Behold!

amazing! very very nice

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET very retro ma man cool

Cool

this has got to be one of the most innovative accessories ever =) i have to ask: where can i get one? again, well done mate!
cheers

This one must be the one and only accessory we would need for our HD2. We should name it "How to turn your HD2 into HD7".

amazing :-D can you send me one?

found some in ebay, did a search and they're around 20 or so bucks from the uk or hong kong =)
a little curious though. the iphone's back surface is more "glossy" which imo works well with the plunger. given that the hd2's back is not the same, wonder if this will affect the plunger clinging on the surface...

I wonder what I will tell security or customs at the airport when they find this?

That's probably one of the longest crap for someone to sit through and thought that a plunger is the perfect novelty idea for a phone's kickstand

Very creative

OMG, this is iGreat!!!!

You can find it on Amazon for $6-7 a pop. It's sold by Perpetual Kid. It was originally designed for the iPhone but I bit the bullet and bought it to use for the HD2 and it works perfectly.

£4.99 incl P&P form Amazon UK, just ordered one thanks

That looks great!
How long does it stand?
Because I read on Amazon.co.uk the following review:
"But I haven't been able to make this thing work for periods longer than 5 minutes. Might be because I'm using it on an iPhone 4? Slightly disappointing and not that cheap. "
Does it fall off after 5 minutes? Or does it work for hours?

shouldnt it be white?

finally got one, found it being sold in a apple store quite near (5 bucks).
the good news: it does work on the hd2 despite my previous concern on the back surface not being as glossy as that of an iphone's
the bad news: if you were to stick the plunger towards the middle, expect it to pop out in like 5 or less minutes. must be the weight that's pulling down given the "angle". thus, i wouldn't recommend plugging it to give a 30' view. i plugged it towards the side giving it a 10'-15' view and it stayed on for like 2 hours (i think).

Thanks for the update Robson!
That makes things clear for me; I don't buy it. It's to dangerous if it falls down when I put it in a train or something. I don't want to take the risk. And I also don't want to make a profession of applying a iPlunger It should just work 100%, easy.
Sad to hear because it looked like a cool thing to buy for my HD2.

Game Gripper

I bought the EVO Shift in part because I wanted to play emulated games. A company called Game Gripper makes these pretty cool attachments to use with physical keyboards. It is basically a button overlay that is shaped and functions like a console controller. I put a picture of one below. They have gotten pretty good reviews. If you are interested in the attachment you should head over to the Game Gripper website and put in a request. I don't know how many requests they need before they produce a Game Gripper but the more they get the better the chances they will produce one. The EVO Shift is actually listed on their request form so maybe they are developing or getting ready to develop one already. You don't even have to enter your email or anything.

Looks like they won't need to make phone specific versions anymore.
^ Shift Faced

Wow, that's cool. The only turn off for me would be the normal one is $15 and that one is around $50. I would definitly be interested in it if I didn't have a keyboard though.

True. But you wouldn't have to buy a new one if you got a new phone. I like that.
^ Shift Faced

But I'd much rather have a cheaper piece that just snaps on to the keyboard, then it doesn't require an app/having the bluetooth radio on. Emulators burn enough battery as is.

I put in a request for this this morning before even seeing this post. Looks like great minds think alike. I came from the EVO just so I could have a keyboard for emulated games...

I sent a request for it a while ago and they told me to keep checking that it would become available at some point.

Anyone have an update at all on this? I am dying to get a game gripper on my phone.

I just got a shift, coming from a Samsung Moment, and was trying to remember what the company was called making these. I don't think it took long for when they had the Samsung Moment request form up and when they started to make them.

I was looking at these earlier this week (I fell in love with psx4droid) and there is probubly no chance they're going to make one of these for the shift. I mean common, this isn't the most popular phone, I wish it was though.
Btw the emulators gensoid, n64iod, gameboid, every ____oid have all been removed from the market, but they are FREE on the slideme appstore. Don't worry they were put on by the dev, not pirated.
Pls click 'thank' if this helped!!
No I'm not using Tapatalk... I'm using the XDA Premium app, cause I got balls.

I have been using the Tiger emulators since they are free but allow you save states. They are still available.

I like the tiger ones better. And fpse is a far better ps emulator. Stuck with N64oid though.

Put in my request for one this would really be awesome.

Nice, hopefully they eventually make one for us. The Epic had one at this point in it's life cycle so we'll see.

Don't Think...
To my knowledge, when I play emulated games, it will only register 2 keys at once, I can push a third, but it doesn't do anything, even if I have it registered. I don't think a physical one is possible cause of this, but a bluetooth one (assuming we can find one that sends the correct frequency for those still stuck on the gb update) would work just fine.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I may just have a faulty unit, or there is something we can do like the epic users did to stop them from dropping keys when they typed too fast, that might help us here is I'm not the only one with this problem.
