Desire is good for sure but the hd2 is able to dual boot android and windows

Iphone 4 is popular agreed...but if i have to buy the iphone4 i'd rather keep my 3gs as they are almost the same...only faster processor and some improved features

yeah i'm just waiting to see how the droid 2 and droid x in gsm do?

Not always the newest is the best
I would recommend an HTC Leo capable of run 2 OS: Stable, trustable business oriented WM and also young, funny Android
You can have the best of both platforms on the same device
With same or even better specs than newer devices

Until the dual core Qualcoms come out the Snapdragon is top dog. The Leo also has 1024 mb of ROM and 576 mb of RAM in the T-Mous version, and it can dual boot WinMo and Android.

My future WindowsPhone

Hello, i'm not english and very young so so sorry to detroy your language!
But i want to buy a WindowsPhone and I don't konw if i have to buy Xperia x2 or HTC HD 2 ! Who's the best for you? I love the physic keyboard on Xperia but the hardware appears to be old! Winmo 7 Will be possible on Xperia?
Help me please! I don't want to buy a bad product!
I think keep this phone for 2 years maxi!!
Thanks in advance
Given the two choices, get the HD2. The hardware is far superior than that of the X2. It has a much better chance of running WM7 than the X2 also, when/if that becomes possible.
Completely agree, go for Leo!
Just adding that with Leo you´ll have the plus of having this site magnific support
Okey Thanks for your reply! I Think test them and buy the HTC...
Thanks a lot!
how old are you then?
And i would get an acer m900
I'm 15!
and I think that the m900 is a bad phone :/

Have to agree from the reviews i've read and it's just not HTC
Go for the HTC HD 2
It's real damage that the X2 have a bad processeur (525Mhz)
i have tried a few diffrent winmo phones from diffrent companies, acer/toshiba/HTC and HTC are leagues ahead of the competition, i sold my
TGO1 after a week and bought a hero lol
Go for the htc hd2 and hang out on xda!
The HD2 is the best phone but if your 15, dude i hope you have big hands!
LOL! Yes i've big hands
@mancsoulja: Android is better than WinMo ? Cause, the X10 comes with Snapdragon, so i can wait...
Android is good, the diffrence between winmo and android is on android everything works lol there are no errors, no force closes no issues what so ever that i have had with my winmo devices, everything just works first time every time, although i always seem to come back to winmo, i think the quality of software is much higher on winmo, u can get programs for everything, where as android is not so good software wise, they will and are catching up to windows but its your personal opinion
Okey, so i prefer WinMo, i think Android it's like iPhone OS... Not realy but I want a new thing.. So WinMo is perfect !
Witch WindowsPhone have 1Ghz and Physic keyboard ?
None to this date!
I am waiting for that too but don´t think we will see it till 2011 (hope I´m wrong...)
windows phone or windows CE phone
the only windows phone is this powered by xp http://www.xpphone.com/en/
Good hardware but it's a very big phone :/

What will be my next phone?

Hey guys,
I'm already thinking of what my next phone will be. I now have the SE Xperia X1 and it's getting boring, you know.
I have some options to choose for:
- Samsung Galaxy Apollo
- Acer BeTouch E130
- Nokia E5
Help will be appreciated
ok.. DO NOT got for a Nokia!.. had 1 for 2 years.. had to keep on flashing ROM every week to keep it fresh, thats how slow it was! The battery is bad, and you will never get any updates.. In my opinion, if the phones had a different OIperation System, then maybe the phnoes would be better..
if you need a phone that has a full QWERTY keyboard, try looking at a BlackBerry since they are the ones that have the most experiance, with their phones..
hTC
HTC sounds good!
I agree with the above posters, HTC.
Better get a Motorola Droid, I have one and it's the best phone I ever saw!
In my opinion..
have a look over here...
Go in for the hTC desire or the newer WP7 devices...Samsung is type of a retard when it comes to applications...If you do something wrong,drop it terribly,you face a heavy loss + 15-20 days of servicing...
WP7 is the great Microsoft fail since Windows Vista. Long live to Android!
Hd2 if ya kno wats good for u
Better get an Android phone. Because Android is the future
Android is the future? Lol
Better get an hTC device capable of running any OS you want: WM/Android/WP7=Leo
This is the future
I was thinking this morning about the Leo yeah, you can run Android and WinMo on it but I have a question about Android.
On my current phone when I run android the battery runs out very fast (also on Windows Mobile). My question is, is the battery life good on the Leo? (android)
I think Iphone is best .......What next after this .

Battery life is now about the same on android and winmo.
to the OP, take the big plunge, get a wp7 device. Already has quite a few apps and the phones are very smooth. Be different.

This will be my last Milestone post as I'm selling it tomorrow. Was just flashing the latest update for the sake of the new owner. Motorola never again.
who ever said that was same one...???
I dunno, I guess I got the impression from some posts around here that it was identical to the buggy leaked version. I gather it's still buggy, but I won't be the one to find out
it has same kernel as Arabic MS...... that kernel aslo has DSI errors but little..... don no when is moto releasing stable.... Kernel...... ok finally decided to Leave Motorola never again to buy it.... Deciding to but some other May be Xperia..... Arc or Play ... whichever.

Get a HTC HD2. Mother of all phones. Looks like anything can run on it. They recently got debian to run on it. And it should cost about 20,000 here.
I am seriously thinking about getting one.

Don't get X10, pos screen doesn't even have multi touch and only does 65k colours. Locked down worse than milestone. Find a nice HTC or nexus. At least mm has a froyo kernel, x10 is stuck with eclair as it's not getting updated past 2.1. Plus the gpu is crap on snapdragon.

I think this TELUS kernel is the same that the old APAC Kernel 2.6.32.9-gafbfc43 (SHOLS_U2_05.26.0)
The new APAC or African kernel is 2.6.32.9-g11068ed (SHOLS_U2_05.27.2)

I wouldn't. Its not the greatest phone out there right now... I would wait for a dual core android phone from HTC or the iphone 5 (if there even is one, last one was summer release so it might be then as well this year)
I also wouldn't get the HD2 because its not the top-of-the-line phone and dualcore processor phones should be much better, and if they are nvidia dual core tegra 2 processors, they have tegra zone too, so more gaming possibilities and enhancements there.
Although many people do not like the Atrix, it does have 1 gb of ddr2 ram (not certain, but read somewhere) and a dualcore nvidia tegra 2 processor (i think both the cores equal to 1ghz)
+ I think nvidia said they expected quad core processors for mobile devices by this summer ( I THINK! not sure, saw somewehre on engadget I THINK!)
Lastly, the EVO 3D looks cool too, and I would wait for that if I had the money, and not stuck on a contract. Evo3d video: http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/22/htc-evo-3d-first-hands-on/
YAY official update!
So...After all my moaning and crying about the locked bootloader I go and get an ATRIX.......
Say what you will about Motorola, they make some awesome hardware. The Atrix a such a amazing phone. After freezing down all the Blur app it is the best phone i've ever used.
On another note: HTC is starting to lock down their phones (htc thunderbolt), I hope this isn't going to be true with all manufactures.

Yep, sometime around q3; which if years of experience with se are anything to go by, means by the end of the year. By then, the x10 will be nearing the end of its useful life - given its limited memory etc. There are much better options out there.

i don't like HTC actually. so Might hope Sony to Bring Arc or Play as soon as possible. but if the launch both same time then i'll be going with play ue to its Front camera and much powerful GPU.

Should i go for galaxy nexus or htc one S? help guys.

hey!
I need your help i am really confused between these two devices htc one S and galaxy nexus?
Htc one s = snapdragon S3 (asia)
Galaxy nexus = cortax A9
Which is better?
Give me an review about these two devices if you can.
Thank you.

Lol awkward... you're actually asking for gnex and one s review on ace forum where people use ace and those two device are still a dream to them :/
Theres boatloads of gnex and one s review on google, youtube, blogs etc

More developers support
Google phone
Cheap
Vanilla android.
Fast updates.
What do think?
Snapdragon S3 or cortax A9??
Thanks
I'd definitely go for gnex, or the one s with s4. Heard terrible things about one s with s3. Overheat, battery drain etc.

Snapdragon S3 is outdated :-/ and its issues.
Sadly, htc one s with snapdragon S4 is not avavilable in asia only for US.

buddy you don't know much of chipsets A9 is architecture of cpu and not some processor..
now come to point S3 is out of date as launched in 2010 and nexus sports TI-OMAP which is considered to be most developer friendly chipset.. so i would go for OMAP and if you can get S4 then definitely S4

No S4 are avavilable for asia only outdated S3 :-/

But gnex is insanely huge I've held it for around 30 minutes and feels like holding a tablet already. Those above 4 inch phone were created for american with their huge hand in mind, not us asian with our puny hand :/
One S is not small either and i don't think now sizes will come down ever they are competing for no reason on screen sizes..
SGA is of good size (as iPh4)..
Yup! Main reason i was looking htc one s was because of size.
Galaxy nexus is too big :-/

frankly for me sga too is too big to comfortably hold in one hand. thats why i grab lww with 3.2 inch. mini with 3 inch is too small. but lww with 3.2 just feels perfect for me. will hold on to this lww for as long as possible. but by that time newer phone would need a dedicated slingbag to carry :/

Sense on the Nexus 7

Well, it seems that Sense 4.0 is being ported over to the Galaxy Nexus, and they seem to be doing well. So, is there a chance it can be ported to the Nexus 7 as well?
Now, I'm no way an expert at this stuff, but perhaps the One X can help us out? It has the Tegra 3 in it, but it seems to be a different version with a higher clock speed.

Other devices having a Tegra 3 doesn't do much good. I can tell you that there's some people working on it who would like to make it happen. But I can't promise anything.
