Alright, check it out. I have seen allot of comments on here about how AT&T most likely lock the gps to their telenav service and many are upset. Well I shared your concerns until I found the update for the HTC Mogal, someone posted a few days ago. I have never tried tom tom and of course in a perfect world we could choose, however I must say I do not care anymore. The updated telenav is pretty sick IMO, as they changed the interface and added traffic support. What else is missing? I for one am content and just thought I would share so some can relax a bit.
*zero* chance of ATT locking the GPS to a particular service

Based on what? You speak as if this is the definitive answer. How do you know? I am all for it as I wouldnt be oppose to trying a different type of navi but there seems to be different opinions on this. Since you know everything, when is the tilt being released, also will it be in the morning or afternoon delivery truck?
wait 2 weeks and you will see

I, for one, am not going to pay for the Telenav service! I just want a GPS for those "detour" days and road trips. Stand-alone GPS devices out there do not need a paid subscription (except for traffic) so I would prefer 8925's GPS to be the same way. Even if AT&T locks the GPS to Telenav, I am pretty sure it will be a software lock and guess where do we hangout? xda-developers!!! After some time, we will have custom ROMs popping everywhere that will not only enable the "maybe-locked" GPS but also get rid of all the bloatware and make 8925 one snappy device.
it is nice to know that the tel nav is good. i have stepped inside 4 different AT&T stores to check on kaiser availability and each time I have also asked whether the GPS will be locked to tel nav and each time i was told you will be free to use whatever software you want.
1. Wont matter as XDA would un-do locking to TelNav.
2. While I might actually pay and use TeleNav...it would be a dealbreaker if for some dumb reason like XDA could not break it or if ATT removed GPS all together. Not saying either would happen, just that for me GPS is the only reason to upgrade at this point.

WHAT! GPS IS THE ONLY REASON TO UPGRADE? How can you say that when the screen tilts up? LOL. Just kiddin brotha, but seriously dont the specs on this bad boy get your attention as well? Although I consider myself the dumbest smart person I know, I still notice it has double the rom/ram whatever the hell it is and has 3 mp camera, and is the newest htc for at&t. Come on dude, navi is the only reason?

For me yes it must be GPS. The Hermes was great for me, I just like the GPS, and a NEW toy. But a new toy for $400-$800 better have full GPS even if I need to run an HTC ROM, it at least better have the hardware and be hackable. The 3MP camera is nothing for me. I dont take pics with a phone and when I do once a year, I dont expect much.
I look at my current desktop PC that is a model year 2003, yes its old but I run XP PRO and do everything I need at fairly quick speeds after the RAM upgrade. So why buy a new PC.....people say faster processor and more Video RAM, etc....but for what the PC does it works great. So why upgrade.

Now that it's confirmed that GPS IS NOT LOCKED TO TELENAV, I thought I'd go ahead and point out that I was right.

Ha. Gotcha.
I don't know...I'm at odds here...
With taxes coming in (I know I'm getting a nice refund)...I am torn between getting a touch pro 2 (Tilt 2, whatever)...and a Leo...
I have a touch hd at this time, and the one thing that really gets me is the lack of TV out, which the TP2 has. A small, insignificant thing to some, but with 2 children and a van, the old Fuze I used to have really came in handy.
But then I look at the Leo, with its huge screen, 1ghz Snapdragon, capability to be upgraded to wm7---but also, no tv out...
Or should I just wait a little longer to see what comes up???
Any ideas???
Rumning Poll
Touch Pro 2- 0
Leo- 1
Ican'tmakeupmymindeither (aka Orb3000 poll)-1
hd3/tp3- Stop confusing me!!!!!-2
there has been some news about HD3, I don't know whether its for real or not. It would be a grand device looking at its specifications.

If hardware keyboard is must for you go for Rhodium!
There won´t be better choice till 2011
If not a hardware keyboard fan but you can wait and $ is not a prob, then go for HD3
If can´t wait go for Leo
Dam the HD3 sounds like one sexy beast of a phone...any hope of that being for AT&T as well, i was rather disappointed that the HD2 never made it
Didn't even know that there was an HD3 in the horizon...gotta google...
edit...okay, googled it up...even though they are just rumors...no...way...this would be the ultimate phone...that is, at least until a 2ghz model comes out...

Great one!
I guess it depends on what you want in a phone. From the research I did in phones, the TP2 is a great phone. The others are great but are expensive if you buy them outright. You might consider providing more details other than the phones you're trying to choose from. Like what you want in a phone.
is it possible tethering via usb or wifi??
Anyone know a way to use this terminal as a modem??

Currently no, I sent an email to wifirouter which made the great app for our HD2's and the only reply they gave me was no so good, and that for how they see the OS now, it doesnt allow for it.
Lets hope Windows fixes that. Cause we need that. I really really need that.
This one has been beaten to death in other threads but for what it's worth +1 for tethering feature here as well.

Doesnt do us much good, and I really hope they come out with it soon, even if it is third party like we had on the HD2, i hate dragging my HD2 around to see clients just to have that one feature.

not that I have seen, my HD7 is a paper weight right now, since that is all it is good for, i got fed up with all the missing things went back to HD2.
Man, I'm right there with you. Same thing. Microsoft took a step backwards. Disappointment. I have to keep switching SIM cards to my AT&T tilt to tether. Serious BS.
all these answers have really really pushed me back, not buying until MS fixes all or most of the common things, tether, bluetooth atleast
I just got HD7 from ebay and got in love with it and the WP7 system in one hour time. But last and most important thing for me that I checked was usb tethering.
What a disappointment.
I hope M$ will make it soon available or I'll get rid of the phone unfortunately

Eh u just got the phone, give it a few days, ull grow to hate it
But yes, tethering not present is a big let down, along with many missing items, and the mid January BIG update, is nothing more then new fixes for market place and cut/paste to shut us up, which is still not here soooooo....
thats why im glad i kept my HD2
has anyone tried using the DFrouter xap posted in the hd2 development forum? You need a jailbroken device for that though..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922000
First, is there any updates concerning tethering on the HD7? And second, why is everyone blaming Microsoft when they have already said that its availible but up to the carriers to offer it?
Okay guys, I've learned from my mistakes of screwing with system files, but I'm here to help you unbrick your Droid 3 (XT862) The following is a list to unbrick, the process should take about 5 minutes (not including the download or boot time)
1. Go to this website ( File location )
2. Download the ~450mb file.
3. If you have a spare battery, or the current battery, make sure it's charged above 50% (quick unbrick wont run if it's below 50%)
4. When the download is complete, extract the RAR file, and when the phone is off, press m+power and scroll down to AP Fastboot.
5. Plug the phone into the computer, make sure you get the USB connected message on the phone.
6. Run the "Click Here - Flash Verizon" file, make sure you get "OKAY" for each message that pops up on the CMD prompt.
7. Let your phone restore and boot.
If you have any questions, feel free to message me or reply to this post.

Alright guys, im sure almost everyone has heard of A Perfect Circle, or Tool. If you listen to it while you are alone, it can get pretty crazy. So what are some things that you can stare at or do while listening to them? Personally, I like to play the music on my computer, and put the visual designs on fullscreen. Its like tripping out, except your not high.
A compass, ? Elaborate
Anything like iDrug or something however
Any web sites you know of that I can go to that have a fullscreen image of a crazy design that changes and things like that? As in, things like the visuals that computer media players come with
Ahh I see, nope sorry just had a quick google and nothing found
I know most people will disagree, but I love A Perfect Circle. Tool are okay but don't really do it for me as much.
Anyway, go here...
http://www.zoomquilt.org/
Zoom in (Ctrl +) so it fills your browser and go fullscreen (F11). Click and move the mouse cursor up. The only problem is that you need to hold the mouse button down so you can't just sit back and chill.
Edit: Ah yeah - get some Electric Sheep in your life http://electricsheep.org/
Thanks man! thats exactly what i wanted.
