...i can't see the Today screen enhancements. namely, the new scrolling ribbon. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get around this?
PS. been a stalker on these forums for a while now and now I'm a member!
um, like, wait for WM7? Provided it gels with the Kaiser?
6.1 does have a few enhancements, granted, but your ribbon is not one of them. AFAIK, the scrolling ribbon is a feature of WM7, and of the SmartPhone flavour to boot, not of PocketPC.
If you pine for the ribbon, try some independent apps like Throttle Launcher, Ultimate Launch, PointUI, or suchlike.
Welcome aboard, by the way. Live long and prosper

If you saw the new "ribbon" feature in action by way of screenshots, then I must concur with the last poster and say that you were looking at WM 6.1 Standard (non-Touchscreen). WM 6.1 Professional (touchscreen) received mostly transparent (non-cosmetic) upgrades between 6 and 6.1.
thanks for all the replies guys. dang! i was hoping those screens were from the touchscreen version. I did have pointui on wm6 but it was a bit of a battery drainer. I was really hoping WM sorted things out: on the kaiser, without a third party app, you still can't get simple tasks like one click 'new sms' on the today screen or assigned to buttons. i have the HTC action screen installed for this purpose. was hoping to do without it.
i am (was)considering the Diamond but I see mixed feelings from people who already bought one.can you rate your overall experiences and try to give a yes or no answer on advising someone to get one or not.I am not talking about technical issues or weather there is a keyboard or not,i am talking about your overall experience and weather it is a good device to have and it benefits outweigh its problems ..if there are any
Undecided definitely is missing in this poll...
If I were you, I would wait until the Touch Diamond is released with its final rom.
So wait until the end of the month. And honestly, was there ever a PPC released that was a perfect device right away?
I am still pretty sure that the Touch Diamond is a great phone. Forums like this simply concentrate bad experiences and problems whereas a majority of the customers have only little or no complaints.
Put nerds like us in front of the iPhone and we will tear it apart (literally speaking). Take the casual customer and he is the happiest man alive having an iphone.
The more complex things are the more options you have but also the more compromises you have to take.
For me: I haven't bought a new PPC since 2005 and I only know WM2003SE. I am curious how far WM has come along with 6.1... And I really like to have a PPC/Phone - right now, the htc Touch pro remains my first choice.
P.S.: I did not vote... there is no option for me
P.P.S: your avarta creeps the hell out of me...
Thank you for your reply.Please note that I know there will never be a perfect device ,i have the TYTN II and I am very happy with it and would have recommend people to get one when it was relatively new.what I wanted from people who have the Diamond is to more or less tell is if they are ,as an overall impression happy with their purchase or not.
P.S:I tried to edit the poll to put an undecided option but could not find how and if that could be done!
P.S:It is supposed to creep u!

Go ahead. commit to one. there is no better way than trying out one
hi peeps, i currently have a kaiser loving it although know i knows theres better
my question to you is, my upgarde is in two days what do i go for
the nokia n95 8gb
htc touch diamond
iphone (ha ha)
or the samsung omnia
i think ive already decided but i want to see your views on this, although apparently the omnia has no d3d acceleration, but does that mean the camera will be odd as with the kaiser, and i remember some one saying on a poll i did that if i got n95 id not be here, which is true i like this place, some you help a lot and i could get ,y head around a non winmo fone.
nb if the mods see fit to move this then go ahead i only posted as im currently based on this device therefore appreciate the opinions of the kaiser users, rather than the enitre forums

The HTC Touch Pro
i agree, touch pro, diamond, or xperia
Touch Pro (its an improved diamond so i will shortlist, Touch pro has video out man, present or movie directly to screens and projectors)
xperia have you heard about the RUMOR WM6.5 its probably just a rumor but Sony Ericsson will surely introduce something powerful but non-official support might be limited! htc is taking the lead..
iPhone do you mean you wanna cross to the other side of technology
Omnia looks pretty but Odd resolution and bad graphics run a search
Dude after this thread you made me think of a new toy too
not bothered about the odd resolution. but define bad graphics?
and touch pro aint on my network yet, and as above im upgrading in two days so no expaeria
and diamond only has 4gb of inbuilt memory. and no expansion slot. im not think this be wise move
and the iphone was a joke

How long do you have time to choose a new phone? In the Netherlands you can choose (with most providers) a new phone 2 months in advance of your new contract. I waited 6 weeks until The Kaiser was available.
well i an decide from anytime i want but i put the order in in two days.
i tell you whatll decide it for me. if some one can answer
how well does the camera perform, does it fudder when panning like the kiser how fast is the capture
and
how goos are videos. the only way i can watch a decent video on the kaiser is switching to raw framebuffering on tcpmp, everything else is knackered
so does it??
i want to know how well it takes photos coz i kno the kaiser is a bit slow on the uptake
and how well it can display videos
does it have a driver
thats the omnia ordered.
less than 24 hours away
Keep us posted bro...I'm also contemplating on getting the omnia..or if the touch pro isn't it then probably I will wait for the official T3....TyTN 3.....
due to unforseen shipping errors, the company thats supposed to deliver my omnia havent. shouldve been here
cool its here it stunning. uncomparabvle to the kaiser, they are just toio different markets.
and im finally able to watch a massive divx movie without the skipping a checking wether im switched to raw framebuffer
Hi guys and gals. I own an Xperia X1 and am sick and tired of not having decent apps.
Did anyone tried Android on this phone? Does it work well?
ATM I have HTC Diamond Rom and it's fine, I can check my mail, update my FB/Twitter status, it has a nice EQ embedded with the player, and many features.
The question is: "Is it worth it installing Android on this phone?"
Thanks in advance and have a nice friday!
Before you ask the obvious question ("Why are you asking this?"), I need the Soundcloud App. I really do.

Thanks John!
I'll back up just in case it blows up and give it a try. The slight overclocking seems nice and the HW accelleration and GPS support too.
Hi just looking for a bit of advise I currently own a HD2 and have had various OS options etc. running but really like Win 7 so looking to sell the HD2 to get a HD7
but not 100% sure if it can be unlocked etc. I have spent a lot of time going though the XDA forums but seem to be getting conflicting views on if this is possible. Key for me is to be able to unlock the phone to T-Mobile UK .. I would also like to be able to install the Navigon App.. If I buy say a UK O2 locked HD7 will this be possible ?
I was looking to change my HD2 for the HD7 also, but I asked a few questions on here before now and there doesn't seem quite the support you get in the HD2 forums, I have lots of questions about the HD7 also and would love to know the thoughts from people who have changed an HD2 for the HD7?
I changed 20 users from HD2's to HD7's. Everyone is QUITE pleased. Minor annoyances (sub par camera, although identical to HD2) and the like.
It's seriously night and day as far as typical user experience is concerned from WM 6.5/Sense 2.5. Does WP7 lack features? Yes. Does WP7 have a small Marketplace? Yes, but it grows daily, and there are some fantastic apps out there for WP7.
All in all, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend an HD7 to someone, especially coming from HD2's.
HOWEVER
If you like flashing custom roms, loading whatever .cab files you want, direct access to the SD card, this phone is not for you, unless you really want to dig deep.
Personally, I love it, and so do 18 of the 19 other people I converted. (the lone holdout still cries about a blackberry)
