Just released today for purchase and whos getting one. I've been looking at the Zune 2 or one of the archos devices 605 or 505. Zune seems to be more usuable in the gym vs the archos. My phone does everything the Zune does but the battery life doesnt really compare and when im out i really dont need a dead phone on my hands. Looked at the IPOD Touch but im as against apple as Bill is. So its out...any opinions?
ehh the Zune1 was pretty sad I am not trying for the second Zune lol I will just stick with my dusty first Zune I dont use.
Did the new firmware update do anything for your old zune. Im actually kicking around the idea of getting an old zune for dirt cheap and just updating it.

Its acutally just sitting on the floor getting dusty, I havent even done that. It looks like it just addresses small issues but I might as well try it out.
Dont buy zune, in my opinion they arent worth it and the older generation Zune are huge. The best value digital audio player got to be Ipod classic 80GB. For a decent price, you get a 80GB player that is slim and elegant.
i'd NEVER buy another ipod. Gets old having to erase it and start over every time you go from one computer to another. I think im gonn go with the arcos. Since i wont be using it in the gym more of a traveling device. Or when i want to watch my cartoons that i record on the DVR. Cant decide between the 405 and 605...
OK, WOW I am going to have to eat my words. I did the update and the software is 1000000000% better and the menus are smooth and all around great in the zune. I will be keeping my old school Zune!
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

Windows phone ad imo its really really odd...
Saw it in the uk last night, without the at&t bit at the end

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.
This petition i directed to HTC, Microsoft and all wireless carriers who sell these devices:
We want Windows Phone 6.5 for our HTC Touch Diamond/Pro/HD!
Sign Petition here
Help me so I can help you.
Dont be stupid are diamonds are like 2 or 3 years old now, its like sumone with a 3 year old laptop kicking off cuz microsoft wont giv them a free windows 7 upgrade lol
I doubt it will happen but there's no harm in trying and my Diamond is still awesome, best phone I've ever owned and just keeps getting better thanks to XDA developers .

That's not the point. People ARE prepared to pay for it. We'd all start screaming if PC manufacturere prevented us from upgrading to Win 7 unless we bought the latest PC from them. Forcing us to throw our old mobile to get the latest OS is not exactly eco friendly. What does that say about HTC?
I agree - its the best phone I ever owned - Ive had two since (g1 - sold on ebay and diamond 2 - gave to my other half).
The new 6.5 will work on this handset and it should be made available (officially)
Just wondering, has anyone found a way to make the HD7 less like an IPHONE and more tech user friendly.
seriously hate the new software, failing that anyone working on getting the Desire HD rom to work on a HD7 I would love to hear any feedback
cheers
I am so regret to bought a HD7.
I will return it to the shop to take some lost.
What a piece of **** that I can't use my legacy software for it.
I had a chance to get the HD7 when it just came out, however I opted for the HD2 because I'm used to the following...
1) Having my text messages read out loud.
2) It acts like a regular USB device
3) Bought a slingbox app for it
4) Skype works well with it
5) I use the Remote Desktop Connection
I know the Mango update came out yesterday for the HD7, does anyone know if the ones I posted above will work on the HD7. I'm really sad that I lost my HD2, but Asurion doesn't have it anymore. Sigh. I guess it's time to upgrade my phone anyway since Windows Mobile is dead. Anyone wanna help convince me that it's for the best? Thank you in advance.
lol, i'm in the same situation but my phone fell in the toilet. thank god for snug plastic phone covers or phone really would have been ****ted. i'm trying to figure out if i still want to complete my claim or not. but i'm enjoying this miui droid rom too much on my hd2.
Oh no, I guess it doesn't support WiFi tethering either....sigh...
