O2 XDA Flame or HTC Kaiser

I am happy to say this. I am disappointed with the HTC Kaiser very much. I was expecting something more.
Instead I think that something more can be satisfied with O2 XDA Flame.
That is why I am sending my HTC Kaiser to my uncle and getting an O2 XDA Flame on Monday. I am all about performance and size. And O2 XDA Flame completely outcasts HTC Kaiser even in terms of price.
What do you all think?

if your talking about graphics and gaming, you will find the flame exactly the same or maybe even worse, who knows..
if you were trying to play games and they were slow it's cuz they probably dont support the kaiser's chip. all it needs is GDI or OpenGL to work. I think the Kaiser actually supports more than the flame does atm.

Well I need help deciding. I dont want to keep like 10 devices. I want one device. The perfect best in performance. Has the best Techinical detail and parts.
Which should i choose.
O2 XDA Flame,
HTC Athena or
HTC Kaiser.
I have already tried out HTC Athena and I have the HTC Kaiser in my hand. So i will pretty much understand all advise you all shall offer.

i had flame before kaiser. i like kaiser much better over my flame. first of all, the size is much more realistic nowadays. kaiser is much easier to put in pants pocket or jacket pocket compare to flame although the weight is quite the same. second, flame doesnt have GPS non 3.0 camera. WM6 is more stable. Flame has better gfx and bigger screen for sure. i will pick kaiser over flame for sure anytime. eric

For me,
Flame :
- Is bigger compared to Kaiser, not fit in my pocket
- Does not have GPS (and I like to have 1 device for all if possible)
- Camera is not 3MP
- Battery drain is worse
More info check out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305686
Kaiser:
- Right size
- GPS is nice and working fine
- Camera is 3MP
- Battery is good
Does Flame run WM 6 Pro? If not, too bad ...
Screen? Hmm it is nice to have 3.5 but I am not sure about the quality.
Seriously, what kind of applications do you want to run that require heavy CPU power?
I found Kaiser is not that slow and I have no complain for my day-to-day usage

Yes Kaiser is not that slow. hehe. And when those huge microSDHC cards come we will be somewhere on equal grounds with XDA Flames storage. It has the same CPU as Universal. So that is pretty good cause the CPU is nice and fast. For battery I dont care much.
I love that GPU though. Also I love VGA display more then QVGA. I think it is perfect device for me for watching video and gaming. Its worth a try.

VGA is good. But forget about the Nvidia GPU since no software is optimize for that GPU

Yes. I am still very confused. I have to decide today what to keep. XDA Flame or Kaiser or Athena... which one should i keep :S :S :S :S

Good News! I decided to keep my HTC Kaiser. And go for O2 XDA Flame as well!
And so does anyone know where i can get the O2 XM-02 Infrared Keyboard accessory. It is mainly used with O2 XDA Atom models.

just looking at your sig Why do you need so much phone? i got the htc x7500 and the kaiser and they are enough for me. i got the 6gb card today and kaiser runs well except internet explorer bug.

such a strange comparison...
I see two totally different phones here.
The XDA Flame is large - it makes the TyTN II look small.
The TyTN II has a scroll wheel.
The Flame has a pretty cool looking USB-on-the-go thingie.
Flame has 2mp camera with flash, TyTNII has 3mp autofocus with no flash.
The Flame is UMTS only. Ugh! When I was roaming in India last summer it was painful downloading email and data over UMTS.
The Flame has an FM receiver for music (which it needs because its network connection speed is too slow to stream media).
The Flame has VGA and some advanced graphics chip for which there isn't a lot of custom software yet written. It also has 2G of ROM which is nice.
The TyTN II has GPS, a built-in keyboard (tho you can add to the bulk of the Flame by getting an external one) and neat-o tilt action.
Seems to me you want to compare the XDA Flame to the Toshiba Portégé G900 - they are far more similar in terms of features, and the Toshiba is smaller, has HSDPA and a built-in keyboard, and sports higher resolution than the Flame.
I bought the Kaiser / TyTN II because it has everything in one package.

XDA Flame _ review
I own a XDA flame with wm5. I liked this device, but it has somany bugs. Wireless doesnt work. Contacted O2 and they asked me to do a hard reset but still same problem (Wifi Never worked !!!!).
I think Wifi issue is a common one, i heared same thing from my frnds as well.
Another thing is Operating system get stuck often.
You cant send sms while you are connected with gprs or computer which sucks big time.
But everything else is kindaa cool, its like you are travelling with a pocket media house. Especially USB host facility is really cool
Hopefully they gonna fix it with wm6 upgrade, which they supposed to release couple of months back. I got official reply from o2 that they are still sorting out bugs with wm6. So i dont expect that from next 2 months.
I would advice any one planning to buy Flame to wait till they release wm6.

HTC TyTn II on orange

Hi all, right... where to begin?!?!
I ahve the HTC touch also and basically im trying to decide which to keep..
Im happy with my touch, but have soem questions regarding the Kaiser...
Basically, how do i change the homescreen to the same as the touch one (3 buttoms, big clock etc).... ? i have 4 options in my menu but none are remotely simular to the touch... ive seen it on the kaiser, just figure its oranges way of messing with your head....
can anyone give me some brief info and advise, tips or tricks?
other than that i'll sell the kaiser.... but id sooner learn how to properly use it first
cheers all for reading

hey,
anyone out there atall had a orange tytn II? that could offer some advise?

Hmmm.... it's a difficult one.. It all depends on what you want it for really.
You can still sell Kaiser's for £300 + , and if all you want is a phone where you can listen to music, watch some movies/shows, I'd sell the Kaiser.
That's my opinion, but i'd have a good think about it, only you can make the decision.
In regards to the today screen, you can have a much more functional HTC home plugin on the Kaiser I think, with up to 6 buttons whoch all come in handy. In case you don't know, you can also have the HTC Cube on the Kaiser, the same as that which you get on the Touch..

No Worries, This may help also (ignore the two 3 phones I've added on at the end)
http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/c...anyNameSearch=39035736&submit.x=44&submit.y=1
And as I'm sure you know, the Touch does have music playback, so no idea why it's left blank on there

640x480 rulez

I stashed my TyTN II bcos of the VGA screen on the Diamond. I have been carrying large phones for years but this is the first time I feel comfortable with a slim one!

Me too. Compact Qwerty is making the transition from a hardware keyboard a non-issue for me. That said, I may still have to upgrade to the Raphael. 4Gb is already virtually filled.

samsung i900 omnia official thread

​--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hi Friends,
i´m waiting for the samsung i900 omnia.....wait...wait..the best wm phone ever..see the specs (google it) or :
http://samsungomnia.org/reviews
http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=AGcatrxh2vA
and my question is:
is possible use s2u2 in that phone because the resolution is WQVGA 240x400 pixel.
so software like s2u2, s2p, s2v and other software like tomtom, is compatible or not?
thaks for the great work people in this forum.
NOTE: and is time to increse this forum to other phone thade marks phones (not only htc) more and more.
Remenber , diversity is wallways better for the consumer, for the final user
let`s talk of everything related Samsung Omnia

???
no reply?????

Since its just been released in Singapore you probably wont see too much talk about it here. Try this site www.ppcsg.com for a lot more info.

the new ui looks a bit janky and the screen resolution is weird
thats my objection to it
other than that, lovely

I don't like Samsung too much, but the Omnia looks like a great phone - the new Marvell PXA320 processor running up to 800 MHz (stock speed) will be great choice for performance

Samsung Omnia
why is everyone going for an inferior phone? the Omnia only has QVGA. Why not just buy the HTC Diamond which is VGA?

Basically, the touch diamond has it myriad of problems at the moment, In terms of hardware and form factor, I'd go for the Samsung. Basically, the widescreen 3.2" screen is a main factor, as well as the nice hardware on it. The diamond has a cool UI, and that's all it has. Plus Touchflo still has issues, 3D drivers not working to their full potential...etc...
HTC needs to start making devices and stop writing software, they are a good ODM, plus oh please, stop being another microsoft and give us buggy software with every new phone launch.

Screen resolution alone does not make a good phone, are you implying that phones like the TyTN II, Touch Cruise, Samsung i780 and Nokia N-series are inferior because they dont have VGA screens? How about the fact that the Diamond has no storage card slot, or has a 3.2MP camera does that make it inferior to the Omnia? VGA is desireable but not necessary so just because a phone does not have it does not make it inferior.

Versus
Did everyone see my post on Diamond vs Omnia? Here's a indepth review of both phones head-to-head and with lots of pictures.
I thought I might be leaning towards the Touch Pro (Diamond out of the question) but now, I think I'm contemplating the Omnia. The camera review on the same site is great too (Vs. SE X1, Pro, Diamond).

Camera Review:
http://www.theunwired.net/?item=rev...i900-omnia-sony-ericsson-x1-camera-comparison

just got mine yesterday.
totally cool. fast and responsive.
my touch cruise sitting at home while im going out with my new samsung.
1 thing i don't like is why the settings for the camera's contrast, saturation and sharpness
doesn't stay the way i set it?
Everytime i go back into camera, i have to set it again before taking a pic? weird.

Thanks but i am not asking if any navigation software is working on it.
What i want is if any one of you can go to bluetooth manager and check in there if it is Microsoft or Broadcomm/Widcomm.

Bad news then, because Microsoft normaly don't send the Tomtom voice to any handsfree device (including cd radio car player with integrated bt)...bye bye Samsung.
Any way, thanks for your info.

Most WM devices since the release of WM5 have used the WM stack, there may be a few exceptions but the norm has been to use the BT stack.

Well, Asus and LG are using Broadcomm/Widcomm bt stack, wich can do sending absolute all sound to any handsfree device when needed, without holding active the bt, only connect when needed.
Microsoft bt stack is sending only phone calls. If you want to send all sounds, you must to use third party software that let a permanent open channel to your handsfree, bad very bad.

No
i900 is not the best WM Phone.
HTC Touch Pro is the best all-in-1 WM Phone now.
Also, Samsung material quality is very terrible & cheap.

Kaiser or Fuze?

Kaiser's got 400mHz, 128/256 RAM/ROM
Fuze has 528mHz, 288/512 RAM/ROM
Seems like a clear-cut land-slide victory for the fuze.
Thing is, I kinda already paid for a Kaiser.
Any incentive to having Kaiser over Fuze? I do like that it has more face buttons.
...or am I gonna wanna grab that Fuze ASAP, seeing as I like to mess around with emulators so much?
