did a search -- can't find anything with that name.

Its Xperia NOT Xpervia

Checked out the X1. I still like the HTC Touch Cruise better. No sliding keyboard.
Just my Opinion.

X1 all the way!

wow.. the Xperia x1 looks amazing!!! does anyone know the release date here in America? this is probably going to be my next phone.

which phone?
If the Xperia X1 lives up to the specs I have seen that would be my choice. If not (money no object) I think the Athena. But I would have to take my time and try different devices. I would likely have a larger device (Athena or Imate 7150 or 9502) for the power when I have the storage space to carry it, with a smaller device for everyday carry.

According to Engadgetmobile the X1 will be available during the second half of 2008. http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/sonyericsson-xperia-x1-qwerty-with-windows-mobile/.
For now, I'd go with the HTC Kaiser. I think it's a solid device. I got mines a few weeks ago and loving it. I already flashed it several times with dutty's roms, even switched carriers (tmobile to AT&T) because I was fed up with the mms issues I was having with the 6.1 roms for my herald. Since I switched carriers, I haven't experienced no more mms problems, and enjoy 3g connection, which is much faster than tmobile's edge. Just my two cents

Like everyone else has said, the X1.
Why? Basically, better features, 400MHz, all the good stuff, ya heard? lol
One thing in particular...I heard (actual read, rumors maybe?) is that this phone is going to sell for about $300-400. Do you have any idea how great that sounds? It's even cheaper than the iPhone, but let's not get my hopes up.

Whoa!!! Really? Cuz I've seen pre-order reservations right around 1,000..... But we all know how accurate that can be...........
Hopefully you're right and I'll be getting a new phone in about 6 months!

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, that was just a stupid post I put earlier about the phone "going to [be] sold for about $300-400."
What the HELL was I thinking? Somebody slap me! I pretty sure this phone will be WAY more like around what you said, Chris.

Wow I would pick the Xperia X1 if I have $$ to spare

BUt idon´t like the dpad and joystick.. that really looks awful!!
but the system features are great..

I want to buy HTC X7510(16GB flash,WM6.1,128MB RAM). But, it is too expensive! I m now going to for cheaper ipaq 210. I'm deconverging. I'll be using herald as my phone but for pocket pc related tasks, I'll have the mighty ipaq for those purposes. And since herald will be there with me always, I'll have a 'backup' pocket pc too

temp phone

hi, got to send my phone back again, so have decided instead of using the crap razr i will buy a cheap used phone from ebay. one that still can be used to receive emails and other info like my x1.
i want a htc, so hear are my choices
htc touch
htc duel touch (nike)
im think the htc nike is the better of the 2.
anyone got any other phones that could be good, please remember im looking for a cheap phone (not a replacement for the x1) about £70-80.

it takes about 2-3 weeks to get the phone repaired, this is the third time in less than a year that i have sent the x1 back.
in the 2-3 weeks period i cant get emails, stocks and other needed info on the spare phone i have (think its a razr v8) what makes like hard. i want a windows mobile phone where i can backup all my pim data and restore it on the temp phone so that i keep getting the needed data.
but wanted a half decent handset.
its quiet upsetting that i cant get on with my life/work because sony does not sort out the cracking problem.
its only been about 2 weeks since i got it back and it cracked 4 days in and they just tell me to send it back for repair (another 2+ weeks)

I would pick the nike from the two you have listed. What price are you looking at?

there is a couple on ebay for about £40 with 4 hours to go, want to pay about £65 but will go to about £80 including postage

Sounds good. It is always useful to have a backup device lying around anyway, so it will be a meaningful purchase.
I'm usually using my old N95 as a backup device, but I recently got a Tytn 2 from a friend really cheap, because I have always liked it haha.

nike is better
apart from 1 thing
elf got wifi

yh i noticed this what seemed a bit weird but i have unlimited data on my contract so dont really use wifi so not too bad for me.
do u this it would be able to rum wm6.5 smoothly? i know there are 6.5 roms on the nike but wondering what sort of drain it would cause to the handset?

G: I'm facing the exact same problem (sending in X1 thus losing essential things like calendar etc) and made the exact same decision: buy a backup. I wanted a phone with a fast processor so got an unlocked LG Incite for 120 USD. It's not HTC, but it has nice specs and with some tweaking is pretty sweet. It'll become a dedicated GPS when I get my X1 back.

just had a look, its a nice second phone, could not find it for sale in the uk. maybe its a us only handset.

just bought a touch duel from ebay. £70 with p&p. its a unused warranty replacement. currently lock to orange (im with o2) but im looking to put a custom 6.5 rom on it anyway so dont matter.

Congrats and feel free to post your thoughts on the experience .

Bro, just used the Razor. Then when your perfect upgrade comes out, buy that phone. Then use your X1 as your temporary phone. This way you don't have to use sub-par devices.

what i was think is wait till the x2 comes out and by that time i would be on my 4th or 5th (maybe even 6th) x1. then make a big fuss and see if i can get it changed for a x2. (in the end sony will have to keep replacing the x1 till they run out of parts, then they will have to give me a x2).

Thinking about buying the G1

Ive been considering getting an android phone for quite a while so im thinking of the g1 becuase it is cheap and it has a keyboard, what are your guys thoughts, i have a fuze right now.

Don't buy a g1. I've had this phone since november 2008 and I can't wait to get rid of it. You should spend the money and get a better android phone, such as the droid, nexus, or wait for the htc desire. You will definitely have a better android experience with one of these phones. Its just to much hacking you have to do to make a G1 good.

Yeah I would stay away from the Cliq. There are roms for it, but there isn't as much development for it as there is for the G1. You'll find it to be quite boring and it's stuck on 1.5. If it's a choice between the two, get the G1.

Lol... Its pretty funny how everyone is saying the G1 is bad and don't buy it. Give it a month, there will be something then the N1 and everyone's going to say, "Don't buy the N1 its such garbage." G1 is a good phone. It won't take you to the moon, but it's not bad. =] I personally have the myTouch. I honestly wish I would have got G1 for keyboard, though. That's another reason I hate the N1... Yea, it's sexy... but touch screen keyboards have proved to be nothing but trouble for me. Besides misclicking (which you get better at) they usually lag. Sometimes slightly - sometimes horribly. They're NEVER as fast as a physical keyboard, though. They also prove to be trouble for games or things that use a keyboard. Most have full touch screen support, but I personally like to use a keyboard to play a game if it's an option. That's just my opinion.

I bought one off eBay for under $200 and I love it. I don't see how any other phone is better than it right now. It was a five row keyboard, trackball, and with all the custom roms available, it fits every niche that I want.

Beat THAT!

HTC DREAM (people... please call it what it actually IS and not what it has been DE-branded to...) is a very flexible device. Perfectly capable of running the latest builds of android.
The problem that some people are having is that the manufacturer (HTC) has decided to stop supporting it. This is no different than what will happen with the GN1 or other android phones made by HTC.
And the main thing to keep in mind is that this is a PHONE, not a supercomputer. Does it REALLY NEED to be the latest super-duper over powered crazy thing? NO. It really doesn't.
DREAM is very well known, and hacked up the wahzoo. There is virtually nothing that you can't make it do. Right down to being jtag-able.
Fact is simple; if you want maximum flexibility in your phone (more important than peak performance), DREAM is the ticket.

Cool guys, thx for the advice i defintley think i am going to purchase 1 off ebay, but im thinking if i should get the brown/black or the white, i saw the white can get a few nicks on in but it looks nice, what do u guys have?

I would say overall that I am very happy with this phone.
Especially with the hacks and mods that I've done to it.
Its fast, stable and looks great.
I am more than happy with this phone, (Especially since I traded a Sidekick LX for it) I haven't been this happy with a phone in a while.
I used to have the HTC Excalibur and coming from Windows Mobile to Android is phenomenal, everything is so simple once you learn and get the hang of it.
So if you have the cash and you are curious just buy it and learn the basics!
Well worth it!

What attracted to me about this phone is that it is able to use the keyboard( hard keyboard is obviously easier to use) to type and gaming. Moreover, the phone is able to be modded and a variety of ROMs that might suit your style to choose from.

I would actually want to buy a second HTC Dream if I could. Seriously, if you really want to utilise your PDA phone properly, the Dream can do it all for you. However, if you really want high end gaming and more sensitive touch screen & proximity sensors to show off, then it's better to get the latest phone. I find that as it is, I am utilising only 50% of what the Dream is capable of. So I have been using it since last year and will continue on until I cannot do certain things that are important for work. Just my 2cents.

Coming from all different kinds of OS's, Sony, WM for many years, and finally the awesome Android OS.
Its hard to compete against it. I like the idea of a quality physical keyboard and screen. There is so much development and quality Rom releases here for our phone.
Devs know this and that is why they stay and keep doing what they do so well for all of us. Themers as well deserve much respect for their hard work and commitment.
Bottom Line: Buy a G1, you'll be hard pressed to find a better android phone at this time.

g1 dead plz help

my t mobile is dead..couple of days ago it turn itself of i turned it back on and it when into safe mode then it turned of again and now it want come back on at all tryed charging it but nothing no lights no nothing i took battery out and left it for awhile put it back in then it lite up but no screen came on and would not turn of so took battery out again and still nothing its just dead if any could help i would be grateful but to me i think it should go in the bin as i didnt get the phone of t mobile so can't take it back to them

g1 in the bin
g1 has got to be the worst phone i have ever put my hands on load of **** think its time for the bin only place its good for but thanks for the help

Try with another battery. If it does not work, your phone is completely dead.
I had similar issues with my old G1 and the only solution for me /after trying with another battery/ was to buy used G1 from ebay with broken screen, in order to replace the motherboard.

thanks
thanks but i'm not going to buy another g1 as i know its only about 7 or 8 months old and if theres a problem so soon then theres always going to be problems not a very good phone at all thinking of getting a nokia phone instead they don't seem to have all the problems that these phones do cheers anyway

maybe all the run on sentances lack of punctuation and other stuff just made it go insane and give up and just die because it didnt want to put up with it anymore and because everyone else out there never had any problems with their g1 at all so maybe you can get a replacement if you have the insurance or whatever but you already said you wouldnt have another one because its a total pos phone and i guess you better just go buy an iphone or whatever from ebay because they usually almost always sometimes have decent phones on ebay and when you get it you need to put an otter box on it to keep it in good condition or else your screen will smack slap give a dog a bone break in two piecs and youll be all BOOOO HOOO HOOO HOOOOOO MY IPHONE ARE BROKED AGAIN so then youll drop att like a hot pertado and come back to tmo with a brand new nexus one but hten you realize you need to keep your att contract for 2 more yearzes and you have to get a att nexus one instead of the tmo nexus one and youll be happy and in hog heaven ok cool great k thx bye

Advice for old Tilt

I've upgraded recently from my old AT&T Tilt to the Motorola Backflip. So I now have an extra WinMo phone (with an old Android ROM on the SD card somewhere) that I no longer have to worry about bricking.
Any advice/opinions on some cool things to do with this phone?

Sell it for cash and take your family out for a nice movie or dinner.

HD2 Envy
Maybe eBay would be good way to sell it.
I'm still on my Tilt. It has served me well. I'm ready to upgrade.
A friend at work has the HD2, and it is great. But, I'm pretty married to the AT&T network, at least for now. And the HD2 unlocked would be expensive to get, and it wouldn't work on 3G
The version coming later in the year for AT&Tm from what I understand will run Winmo7, and I have no interest in a locked OS.
So then maybe Android, but it's not quite there yet for me.
So, hopefully the Tilt will last a while longer for me.

Appreciate the responses. The eBay thing would work if I felt that the phone was in good enough shape to resell. Unfortunately, the keyboard doesn't work well (have to press the buttons just right and sometimes 2x). It's a refurb that was sent to me to replace my original N.I.B. unit and it's never worked as well as the first. So I'm really looking for some kind of fun project to do with it. Whether that means using it as just a PDA with WiFi or installing some flavor of Linux or taking it apart and using the parts for something cool. That sort of thing.
I know there's some pretty crafty people here - bring it on!
P.S. Failed to mention that the phone is jailbroken already. Don't remember which ROM I installed last on it.

I always keep phones and they tend to end up as ornaments so don't think i'm best person to respond but...
