Lets just say I miss using it when I'm back on WinMo. It's really amazing how fast the improvements are.
Making phone calls and sending txts, browsing the web on 3G or wifi, downloading Android Apps. I love it. I can use it for a couple of hours without having a single crash.
Still issues with the screen lock crashing and the battery drain, but that will be fixed soon like everything else.

i was confused on the same stuff, because from past several months people are trying to run android on almost all WM phones, but they couldn't succeed fully. So i thought instead of waiting more, why not buy an android phone,

Htc tytn ii the ultimate phone or ???

i like the new htc touch dual because it is one of the only phones with it's own multimedia features from htc now preinstalld by windows can anybody create multimedia application so the htc kaiser can be the ultimate phone that will be pretty cool. if multimedia like helio ocean, nokia n95, or iphone if the htc had multimedia like those phones in would probably be the best phone in the world
Well i can only say 1 thing , touch dual doesnt even have wifi .... there goes your multimedia
It's true, WE WANT IT ALL!!

I gotta agree. After using the ipod Touch and owning the HTC Kaiser, I am discouraged the Kaiser does not even begin to compete with the touch screen abilities of the Apple product.

To be honest, iPhone/iPod Touch Safari is amazing. And Youtube works out of the box. But if you bother to take the time, you can get even more functionality of the Kaiser.

Samsung Galaxy S

Have been using Captivate for half year...
I would recommend it to people who like to customize while having to look like they are using iPhone...

Thanks, but no thanks. If I want Android 2.2, I'd get a HTC. If I want a working GPS, I'll never buy a Samsung. If I want an iPhone, I'll load the MIUI ROM, or just buy the danged iPhone.
'nuff said
/not flaming, am I?
Ehh, been screwed over by Samsung too many times... I don't use GPS too much, but I do like Froyo and updates on time.
You must be a company rep.
I can't imagine that a true XDA member openly recommend the Captivate. We have too many un-addressed issues.
He's not a Rep. Just a happy person who loves his phone theirs nothing wrong with that

Somehow, that is even worse... and iFanboi who loves a Samsung phone.
Didn't know someone will care about my post... =-D
Well, I'm really sorry if some of you guys think my opinion is false...
I will repeat that, "MY OPINION"!!!
I'm not saying anything about recommending to buy this phone,
So please don't kill me, since this is why I post this thing on "off-topic" section.
: In my opinion!
-Once you get good phone by going through exchange process, I think this phone is really handy...
it have good screen quality and fast enough to play any fun games on/off the market...
[[[ I wonder why same Samsung models have different functions? In Korea, where it's mainly creates phone or share the ideas, don't have any problem with the phone... But of course, it's expensive in Korea... There is no 1or2-year contract, which means they are selling it for original price! And that original price is double the amount of US original price. ]]]
+I'm happy that I can buy same model phone in US
Ill admit that I love my captivate. Samsung makes very high quality phones. However, their software isn't worth sh!+. That's why I'm at XDA. If it wasn't for my crappy software, I'd never be a member. Considering I joined when I had an HTC phone that goes for them as well. My captivate just needs cyanogenmod. I've missed that since I destroyed my HTC phone.

[Q] HD7 on Android

Can I install any android OS on my hd7? What are the steps?

Why have you started a new thread when there's obviously others exactly the same?
The answer is no, not at the minute. Google or a search within the site would have told you that though. Even if it was available, nobody is going to spoon feed you the steps, you'll have to use the sites stickies and search tools like everyone else.
Audio is right, think logicly, why should you have to search so much for such an big thing (if it would exist),
my hint for the next time: just use google, do it, as long as its free
seriously, you dont have to wait till someone postet an awnser !
I had also the same question like you but 5 mins. googling and I got every information that I needed !
Is this it?

No links on that page what so ever. It talks about the HD7 as if it's already got Android on it. I think it's a fake website that just wants you to download some worthless pc programs that are all malware

Lol, my friend Jake has an Iphone, He thinks its the greatest device ever made. I however shut him down with my epically modded Hero200.
Went into a local motorfactors to pick up some bits for my Activa, spotted the guy over the desk had a HD2, we got chatting, he was using android but not a very stable ROM, gave him the details of XDA and the ROM I'm using and we exchanged tidbits of info, was uber geeky
"epic manly nod of approval..." - that was a cool line.
Haha so true. Only thing that would need a change is that for some reason most people I see on the subway managed to smash their iPhone screen big times.
VERY true. Theres too many iPhones around lol.
Sent from my Droid Incredible running CM7.0.3.
Yeah I think that'd true too same thing happened to me and my teacher. I offered to help him root but he denied me saying his phone was fine. I then taunted him all year long about rooting and how great my phone was compared to his lol

Yup, they are real. I saw a couple of these in a video yesterday I guess this is why it's positive that Siri runs from a server.

Hmmm...if that's indeed the case, it's not the advancement I thought it was. If it's getting its responses from a server, it isn't processing its own responses. Any phone would be able to do that...basically acting as a phone call to a server and the server doing the processing of responses and sending those responses to the phone as a reply.
Yup, and that's why it's not working on the iPhone 4 (yet) since Apple isn't authenticating Siri commands from an iPhone 4.
But the thing that's good with the server is that Apple can add and develope Siri on-the-go without releasing OS updates, and with that develope Siri much faster - and of course insert some highly amusing answers!
But yeah, an Android device could easily do this, but that's not the case here. Siri is a fine piece of software, and Google will have to put a lot of energy into this to match Siri IMO. I don't think it's the response that's impressive (although it's pretty impressive), but the way Siri understands evrything so easily is the most impressive. You don't have to SPEAK CLEARLY AND SLOOOOOW
Apparently Siri used to be available for purchase on the appstore, until apple bought it out and locked it down to the iphail4.
There are many features of IOS5 which independent developers submitted to the appstore but were rejected, only to have their app stolen by apple, in some cases the name is kept and their logo changed slightly.
that was funny
Xaccers: Yeah but Apple buyed them years ago before the iPhone 4 i believe.
