Does the Tilt happen to work in Europe? Or is it incompatible due to CMDA/GSM stuff?
If it does work in Europe, then I might be interested.
Tilt works in Europe...GSM..
yes it will work on o2 or "3" networks.. its unlocked if you have a sim chip it will work. minus the iDen network in usa (boost mobile)

2 phones and im not sure on chipset. n dont worry bout the source.
how would i tell the chipset? i use a treo.. and actually switching to a blackberry tomorrow so the treo might be going up for sale too!
I have one too... idk if i wanna sell it yet... been waiting for HTC updates... if no gud update in another 9 days... im selling mine too... its like new... no scrathes or anything... have box and everything... only about 2 months old...
many softwares installed such as officce mobile, remote desktop, vtap, pointUI, palringo...
TouchFLO and different ROM than tilt's original rom can be installed... IDK but I am willing to keep the price as much as cuboosh or maybe $25 bux less... but it probably wont go less than 300 any time soon... unless HTC just plain old says screw any update...

Nice thread hijacking.
at least you didnt make a new thread.
on a side note, cuboosh you arent selling more tilt cause they suck (as in video driver issue) or because you are able to get them without contract. im interested i just cant do it now, until like probably month and a half away from now. let me know if you still got something around that rime. i did read above too about it being the last one you are going to sell.
we are gearing up for htc diamond release..and also blackberry bold release. enough time was invested in the tilt hehe

give ur reasons for wanting it and (wasting ur money)
Getting it for free
First of all i am getting either of the device for free
so am not that concerned about the price
Now the reason behind this is that I owned a 2006 IBM thinkpad which i gave to the guy who works in my college workshop
This guy screwed up the laptop and turned it into a stupid peice of crap and now is giving me the choise of these two as a collateral as he cannot pay in cash ( Says his DAD will skin him alive becoz its not the first time he has done something like that ). His dad owns the biggest mobile store in this area and thus he says he can somehow get me either of the device
so plzzzzzzz
give advice
i have gotten myself a new desktop computer so no sweat there
oh if its for free, then yea do wut u want wit too, see it etc wutever, but if it was me i would sell it ad buy a computer or parts to build one or again buy a laptop
htc smart?
If you mean Shift , then I'm stumped. But I love my advantage and would recommend it to anyone, so it's a personal choice, the shift is a bit too big and underpowered for me which is why im getting an EEE900 or an Acer Aspire One to partner with my Athena and my W960i.
Rory
advantage is better
well as you say
i have been through a couple forums and it seems to me that smart(shift) has a better OS??
Is that true??
As for size yes i will too prefer an Advantage
well anyway i will have to w8 till next month so i can get back to my college and get it but thanks for the advice
I am looking forward to it

The shift runs Vista, and a cut down version of WM. The Advantage runs true WM.
As many of you are probably aware, Windows Mobile 6.5 or as M$ calls it lately, Windows Phone 6.5 is only a stepping stone on the way to a real mobile OS designed for fingerfriendly devices.
WinMo 6.5 is actually in many terms only a "visual" upgrade of WinMo 6.1 which makes WinMo more fingerfriendly and makes it look more sexy but in the end, it's still Windows Mobile as we know it. (If you disagree just look at the calender application in 6.5 )
What Microsoft is preparing to fight Android, Blackberry OS 5.0 and iPhone OS is Windows Phone 7. Rumors have it that it will be designed from the ground up and will be designed from the beginning for the use on touchscreen devices, designed for input using nothing but your finger. Windows Phone 7 and 6.5 will be marketed parallel, meaning high-end devices will get Windows Phone 7 and lower-end devices will get the 6.5 version.
So what has it all to do with the Rhodium ROM forunm ?
Simple: Since the Rhodium is pretty much a (very)high-end device I am aware that many people will want to use Windows Phone 7 on it, once it is released. You may say: the relese of Windows Phone is due in 2010 and thats a long, long time from now, but most people buy phones to use them at least 2 years and the Touch Pro 2 being such a great device I can easily imagine sticking to it for even longer. (There arent many similiar phones at the time which offer the same build-quality, the same high-res screen or the great 5-row qwerty in one package, and I guess I am lucky if there is 1 new device like this on the market every year.)
But now to my question. Since those rumours say Windows Mobile 7 will be built from the ground-up, do you guys think it will be possible to get this working on the Rhodium ?
I know a lot of this will be speculation but I want to know your opinion.
If the kernel is completely new will it run on the Rhodium ? Will there be any1 even interested in 1-2 years porting this to the Rhodium ?? etc, etc
As I understand it's still a very long way of, Q4 2010, which means it could easily end up being Q2 2011 or something. Haven't seen any screen shots or really solid info. I'm better it will be quite some time before we see a TP2 rom based on WM7, or I guess WP7.
In true MS style (now don't get me wrong I'm an MS guy all the way, forget mac, forget linux, forget android, I only use win Mo, and win OS), I'm sure that when 7 drops you're gonna need snap dragon processor or better, just like when 6.5 finally droped most 6.1 mobiles could run it, but not very well. infact ngrz28 ROm on the tp2 is the first device/6.5 rom that it actaully ran smooth on.
back in the day, it use to be the The Software was tryin to keep up with the hardware, then it became the hardware trying to keep up with the the software (say crysis 2 ms os...etc).. But the truth is it will always be the software tryin to keep up with with the software, beacause the hardware companies, intel,TI,SYsop, only release the hardware that has been already developed , and moth balling, when the software has caught up enough... MS ain't **** without Intel, its a sysmbosis between the hardwae developers and the software developers, and a Conspiriousy. Long story short the release of a winmo 7 would me you have to upgrade your hardware, so lets worry about getting the most out of 6.5 and enjoying it
when i bought my tp2 last night the guy at the tmobile store said i can upgrade to windows 7 but i wont have my favs cuz tmobile doesnt support windows 7. JUST A FYI.

here some pic`s
the people at T-mobile, will tell u anything.
check this example, I always just call Tmobile, tell the the phone I want and it goes on my account. I called for the TP2, and the guy said we have it can ship today, but if u go to a T-mo store they can break the payments up so I don't have to pay the full $400 something price on the next bill worse case secanario I'd have to pay the fist payment on in at the store., I said ok, let me check this out if nothing else I'll get the phone today. went to my local T-mobile store, guy said I had to pay 300 something today and and that I had had a 120 dollar credit, and that would be split over the next 4 bills. I said Peace and got my phone 2 days later no money outta pocket?
Windows Phone (Moible) 7 only runs on two processors - Snapdragon from Qualcomm and Terga from Nvidia.
In 7 there is a concept of a Chassis - A defined hardware specification which is consistant across all 7.x devices. This will allow MS to brings high end computing (read Xbox) to Moible devices.
http://www.engadget.com/tag/windows+mobile+7+chassis+1/
In Short... The only device which is public today and capable of running 7 is the Zune HD. No other hardware in market has the defined spec 7 needs.

I did the exact same thing on 8/12. I called a local store and they told me about the $120 credit and that I didn't have to pay out of pocket if I ordered it from the 800 number. So the guy put the order through for me and all i had to do was call t-mo and tell them to ship it. I asked them about the $120 credit and they told me that instead of paying the whole 400 it could be broken up. 270 something on next bill and 40 on the following 3 bills. I received the phone on 8/14 and still haven't started to pay the for phone yet.
i didnt care i just wanted a new phone i hated the dash3g. but i should of known he didnt know crap of what he was talking about cuz he tried to tell me about skyfire but instead said a different named LoL
I don't understand there end game, I'd rather have it put on my my next next bil via the phone order, cause I over paid this bill, and I'll pay the balance next bill, u don't get any advantage going to the store, At&t use to put everything on my bill, even assecories when I went to the store

I agree, if I hadn't bought an unlocked a Fuze, I would have stood on my head to get what I wanted LOL.
No but seriously, I grabbed the G1 when T-mobile dopped it, hacked it, finally bricked it beta'ing for JF, sold it, and bought an older Glofiish to to have the Winmo back, but I'm use to having my hardware put on the account, a couple of days wait ain't gonna kill me

hehe yea.. .
but anyway if they say WinMo Chassis is Tegra or Snapdragon, in 2010/2011 those will be pretty antique by then i guess...
I just got the TMo TP2 on a new 2 yr contract. I'll be sticking with it and 6.1/6.5 until I'm a free agent again. Then I'll be looking for a TP3 powered by the Snapdragon 2 and WinMo 7.5. Or maybe wait out a 3rd year for the TP4 and WinMo 8.
S
By the time it is out, the TP2 will be old news at a guess.
Never the less I'm sure devs here will give it there best efforts to run it on as many devices as possible. Until we actually start seeing Win Mo 7 builds tip up, we arn't going to know.
P.S. I wouldn't take those screen shots as much, have you seen the number of changes to the 6.5 UI in the last month?
Thanks

Yes, and actually I just think theyre conceptual, made in Photoshop...(I'm a grafics artist myself and do things like that too..)
The shot with the Office in it looks like if a shot of Office on PC was taken and scaled down to fit into it...

I am actually fed up of everyone raving about the 'new windows phone'. I know its a good thing it just starting to bug me a little. All I hear my friends saying now is OMG I want a windows phone! And Im just there thinking I've had one for the last 6 months! They've been around for years! Theres nothing new!
Atleast the ad campaign in working though!
Anyone else fed of people thinking windows mobile's are new?
i agree mike, theres a lot more apps for winmo than there is for apple iphone
but the advertising hasnt let the people know
i myself am the only person at work with one of these phones (touch hd)
and now both my supervisor and his boss want winmophones
A worry for me now is everyone will expect them to be a computer and then this forum will slowly fill up with stupid morons trying load XP on it.
As for mike's point about advertising that is so true. If Microsoft did advertise (or Htc) then they would sell 10x more because 'Windows' is on there.
Haha! Agreed 200% with everything said so far.
Here is one for the MEGA ANNOYING "there's an app for that" adds:

Too late for the morons part. We saw that when the Tilt came out and they basically gave it away for free. Using a 'Windows Phone' is really quite a different experience and these phones are light years away from being idiot proof. That's why I love them.
anyone else seen this yet

Hadn't seen it but don't think it's odd infact a advert that doesn't go we can do this, we can do that and still gets the point across
Just good to see advertising as it's long awaited.
Well windows phone is light years ahead of the so called I-Prone ... even a win mo released around 05 can beat the I-Prone.... and the one thing that I-Prone can never give is the customization that we get from win mo... we can select the brand the ram, processor, screen size, design but with I-Prone there's no specialty....
And i think they should also have a app to show different screen resolutions or may be different brand name LOL...
Definately, thats all I hear WINDOWS PHONE WINDOWS PHONE
Someone was telling me about the 'windows phone' about 1 hour ago, and pulled out my Touch HD, got onto the settings menu and showed him device information - Windows Professional 6.1 lol.
I guess with the TouchFLO 2 people are thinking it is some other software.
Talking to an iPhone owning friend yesterday "Windows is getting into mobile phones now" he said. I nearly fell off my chair laughing!

Thats a very good advert!! Now they need to put it up on TV!!
i dont know about you all but in Latvia Iphone was advertised on TV , nokia also, but no sign of HTC!! I didnt knew about HTC until the end of 2008, when I wanted to buy a Dell Axim, but my dads cousin suggested HTC cause theyre good(he works with computers and follows the news about technology)- thats how I got familiar with the name HTC, and bought myself a Touch HD!! Only thing Im dissapointed about is- when I bought Touch HD I didnt knew about SE X1- if I would have known then it would be a much harder choice for me (between HD and X1, not HD and Touch Pro) But still - Im happy with HD

I just seen it earlier on UK TV, went to youtube to find it
Finally when i harp on to people about HTC they will know what i'm talking about
The night before last, my wife and I were watching T.V. and the new HTC commercial (the one showing the Hero, but without saying what model or service) came on and she said, "Wow, that's cool. Too bad it's only for Sprint." I said, "No, HTC phones are available for most carriers." She replied, "No, it just said 'Sprint'." I answered, "That's the HTC Hero, and it's available through Sprint. Other HTC phones are available on other carriers." She asked, "Then why don't you have one?" I picked up my Imagio and showed her where it says "HTC" on the back cover.
ETA: I've had WinMo phones since the XV6600 with WM2003
HTC phones have been out for ages now, but with this new advertising campaign and their new sense UI type handsets I think its going to quickly make it to the top. Ive been seeing more and more people on the street with HTC's and smart phones in general a good trend.
Would it be possible to update Imagio to WinMo 7 when it is available?
Thanks,
Mark
No. If I read right the min requirements for 7 Series is a Snapdragon. That's a 1GHz CPU, the Imagio only has a +500MHz CPU. I'm sure once we get an HSPL someone will be more then happy to cook a rom. But It will run like crap, if at all.
no update even the hd2 will not get it
no 6.5 hardware is capable of running 7.
Thanks for all the clarifications. Appreciate that!

LOL The HD2 will get it. That's like the only phone that will.
What really gets my panties in a bunch.... wait... did I just type that out loud? ... is I was assured at the time of purchasing the Imagio that it would most definitely have winmo7 available for it when it was released. It was repeated over and over that winmo6.5 was simply an interim solution until 7 was released. It was THE determining factor for purchasing the Imagio and signing a 2 year contract. As for Microsoft... I'm through with buying any phone containing windows mobile OR phone... Winmo6.5 is the Windows Vista of the PDA.... a complete POS considering it was released to compete against the iphone and the droid.
Thanks, and don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Man I don't even care about WinMo 7 anymore lol.
Not a fan of the interface.
Do want 6.5.3 though.
I'm looking forward to WinMo7. I just hope that we can get this unlock bull**** taken care of before it comes out - which I'm sure won't be for quite a while yet if I know Microsoft! Yeah, I know that they're saying it'll be out soon, but I seriously doubt it. On the other hand, I love this Imagio so much that I'm not really missing the hard unlock. So, lots to see about....

Why would you ever believe a saleperson from any cell provider? Specially on Minmo7. Odds are heavily in favor of you knowing way more than they do, even if you know nothing about nothing.
Most of the dudes that work in the VZW stores are lucky to remember their names.
I did read on a MS blog that WM7 would not be available for the phones that preceded the WM7 phone.
7 wont be on 6.5 phones. no matter what, it isnt happening.
its PHYSICALLY not possible.
hope for 6.5.whatever and be thankful if you get it.

Man! I'm self employed and still don't have the disposable income that a fair amount of people have in these forums. In the current state of the economy who can afford to purchase phones every time a new one comes out? I sure can't.
Regarding Win 6.5.... loaded the most recent update to it and it's made a ton of difference regarding the use of the phone, speed, and the constant lockups I was experiencing prior. At this stage I have settled into the Imagio and have loaded a ton of apps that make it much more convenient in just about every aspect of my day. Figure since Win7 will never be available I'll take the plunge soon and load one of the new roms on it. Also curious to try out the droid OS now available.
Still... while there was a great deal of initial enthusiasm regarding the Imagio... it looks like that enthusiasm has died off really quick which would seem to translate to less being done to continue to enhance the product on all fronts... including here.
Time will tell.

At this stage I have settled into the Imagio and have loaded a ton of apps that make it much more convenient in just about every aspect of my day. Figure since Win7 will never be available I'll take the plunge soon and load one of the new roms on it. Also curious to try out the droid OS now available.
Still... while there was a great deal of initial enthusiasm regarding the Imagio... it looks like that enthusiasm has died off really quick which would seem to translate to less being done to continue to enhance the product on all fronts... including here.
Time will tell.

Yeah, I hear you. It does get quite expensive. But think of it as a hobby.. That might help justify its cost. Or, stick w/what you have and love it. All these phones have serious sweetness creds. Before I bought the Imagio, I was using a 3 year old Touch. It suited my purposes fine and I bought the Imagio only bc my Touch was all scratched and generally messed up.

Oh, and as for WinMo7...meh. But if it really *is* something great and wonderful, that could make a difference for me. But I highly doubt it.

weeelllll.. now hang on a sec. i dont think it was ever designed to be a competitor of iphone, per sey. that said, i think that *every* smartphone/ppc is positioned to compete w/the iphone. as for it not being able to run winmo 7, who cares?? just get another phone once it comes out..u do realize that it's going to be some time before it does finally make it to the hallowed shelves of verizon - i don't care *what* they say. w/verizon and microsoft it's always 'i'll believe it when i see it'. as for droid, haven't seen it yet but am planning to make it into a verizon store this weekend - very much doubt it but that's the plan as of this second!! so stick around m8.. u may be pleasantly surprised..

well good thing that you doubt it. I tried out the kin two with win mo 7 and i have to say.. it is a huuge adjustment. One thing that bothered me the most... there is no apps for the phone. yea u heard me
I have purchased windows based smartphones since it was the ONLY player in the market with Windows CE 1.0. I have probably purchased 12 to 15 different variations of a windows based smartphone over the last 10 years. I have developed apps left and right for win ce and winmo. The fact that Microsoft has created immediate obsolescence on every winmo 6.5 phone by not allowing forward migration is the final straw for me. Particularly with an OS that effectively will have NO support when it's released for 3rd party apps. I really believe microsoft has lost what ever clout and status they had in the pda market for good. I will NEVER purchase another MS based smartphone again. Bill Gates can sit on them and spin. In the end I have to say that the Imagio, while giving the promise of longevity, expandibility, and all around blissfulness, has turned out to be the worst, bar none, pda purchase I have ever made. And I am still stuck with 14 months left on this *&*^*) assed 2 year verizon contract on it.
Purchased my first Droid the other day. The Droid X. MAN what a beautiful pda! This thing does mega circles around my Imagio and winmo. With the 60,000 plus apps available for it... my ability to build apps around it as well... and the shear elegance of the unit... this may very well be the last pda I ever purchase.
As the Imagio fades into "paper weight" status... Homer Dokes rides off into the sunset with his Droid X at his side.... tomorrow will be a good day!
Wow
You must of had some Really Great phones before the Imagio if that is your worst one ever! What were they?!!! I want to get one!
