When to expect > GHz Winmobile phones? Qualcomm has a chipset QSD8250/8650 for a while, though haven't found any appliance for it.
Htc has one on the website...
Shift i think. . I could be wrong about the name anyways it is a 1.3ghz pentium processor and 30 gig on board harddrive. And its quad band 3g and edge network. with a 7 inch screen..... Full Vista .....oh yeah its like 1600 bucks but hey just wait it will come down...
fingers crossed
Timdawg....

I believe he said WINMOBILE PHONE, not an UMPC. big difference. I dont think we'll see those specs for some time.
We'll see those Processors once we get better batteries that can handle 'em.
higher temp if the higher speed that's why dual core and quad-core processors are made so that they run at lower speeds and generate less heat but i think also needs less energy because lower speed. it would be more likely that we get in the future a dual processor running at 200mhz, 500mhz, or 600mhz or we just get a 800mhz chip with a high cap. battery but it wont be nice when the batt explodes.
a ghz processor would use up like 15-20 watts when running on full so its somehow not practical as of now.
battery life is given utmost priority in handheld devices.

It's a resistive screen.
I've been looking at this phone for a while, and now that it's out, I'm having a heck of a time finding someone who sells it that has it in stock ( tried the websites suggested here on their website). I did find it for $517, out of stock, on provantage.com but it doesn't seem like this phone is very accessible
I have no reason to be a skeptic as to this phone's ability to get Tmo's 3g. The specifications show that it has the 1700/2100 bands required for the service, but I'd really like to know if anyone has been able to try it out yet and what kind of dl speeds they are getting ( oh, and where you managed to buy one from)
FYI...it has not been released yet. The Pharos forum tech said on 03-31-09:
"The Traveler 137 is due to be released into the market in a couple of months. Unfortunately, we do not have the exact release date at this time. Thank you, Natalie"
Hopefully, they are trying to get WM6.5 on this bad boy for a June release...
when it comes to hardware, i will always check the cpu used
qualcomm = slow, very preformance lag & flickering
Nice shame no physical keyboard and no HTC build...
Agree that HTC & XDA support is important...
Also, it has the same qualcom chip and I wish it had the snapdragon!
FYI...PocketPC Thoughts announced the unlocked Pharos 137 (dual USA 3G & upgradable to WM6.5) finally goes on sale tomorrow at Amazon, Expance, Newegg, etc...
http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/mob...ilable-upgradeable-to-windows-mobile-6-5.html
what kind of freaking joke is this??
cant find the phone on amazon, dell, or newegg!
or any places that have the phone "available"!
^looks like Pharos Support replied to U on the their forum: that it would be delayed (again) for 1 week
they better not have anymore delays! i just hate waiting!
otherwise i'm going to get acer f900.
acer f900 uses samsung 533mzh cpu, is that better than qualcom 528mzh?
but f900 only has 256rom/128ram, but i think that is enough?
Does anyone know of any active ROM development for these phones? I would love for someone to cook up a custom build for this phone. Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, I have not seen any development (yet) for the PT137. It would be on the Pharos forum if there's going to be any cooking...
Note this just went on sale, so not too many have it...
i also have a PT137 and would love to see some rom development but i don't think it's going to happen here at xda. the pharos section in this forum is for the device htc made for them and i don't think htc is making the phones for pharos any more.
i will keep my fingers crossed and hope.

the fact that the explorer has a lower cpu level.....and is slower....but very similar in all other respects...ill leave u to make your decision lol
But why put ARMv7 into a cheaper phone? Cos the other day my friend was like to my other friend "Can I play temple run on your phone? [explorer]" and then I was like Nah its not powerful enough and then he said well I've got temple run and minecraft... That made me very very very angry

I know I'm a noob here, but I came from the 4S all the way down to the original, to now the Vivid. I don't think it's a fair comparison, the iPhone is nice, but its basically a wallpaper and apps. Whereas any android phone is, well, I'm preaching to the choir. Hardware specs are great and all, but I don't care if the iPhone has a 10ghz processor and 400gb of ram if it doesn't let me quickly check things with widgets or customize how I want. I jail broke all my iphones, but it still wasn't the same as what I can do with android.
I am happy I made the switch and in all honesty, if I was still with iPhone I'd be a little disappointed in the lack of overall end-user change.

Sounds like a iphone 4s... cannot believe people keep being the same phone over and over again. Glad I got off the wagon on the first stop before Iphone 3g came out.
i agree with all of you, but now that steve jobs died apple started letting you unlock your iphones.. that used to be a b*tch before with ultrasn0w and all imo. so what im trying to sa is apple isnt as crappy as it used to be xD

It's not really outdated. They don't need quad core processors in an iPhone, it would be overkill. Even with worse hardware, iPhones are more snappy and crash less. I love Android and all, but I can't deny the simplicity and stability of the iPhone.

See this is the thing people always say...yet they have nothing to back up the stability of an iPhone...the thing with iPhones is that they don't display when there is a crash like android does...ios keeps crashes hidden making them appear stable..but just a few months ago there was a study done that showed that ios actually had more app crashes then android -so iPhones actually do crash more...not less
Now I haven't touched an iPhone5 yet...but the iPhone 4s that my friends have do not even come close to as smooth and snappy as my vivid...let alone the sgs3...that thing just blows everything out of the water...and I only messed around with my cousins att sgs3 -so no quad core...but that was on stock...I could only imagine how much snappier it would be an aosp
I can go on and on but I won't, mainly because these type of debates tend to get a little heated...happened over in the infuse thread, wasn't about iPhones...but it was about apple in general...it got out of hand and I had to request for the mods to close it

i read at Engadget, not sure if true but, the A6 dual core processor is more of a enhanced cortex a9, much like the A5 or A5X, customized by Apple. the cortex a15 is supposed to be even better than the A6. i repeat, not sure if it's true but after the phone is released we will know for sure.

Like I said, I'm all android but we can't be naive. The Vivid is not smoother than an iPhone, scroll through your app drawer, contacts list, or browser and you'll see what I mean. Even the Galaxy Nexus I'm using now with project butter doesn't quite reach the smoothness of the iPhone when scrolling. The iPhone doesn't need maxed out specs for how the OS works.

Like I said, I'm all android but we can't be naive. The Vivid is not smoother than an iPhone, scroll through your app drawer, contacts list, or browser and you'll see what I mean. Even the Galaxy Nexus I'm using now with project butter doesn't quite reach the smoothness of the iPhone when scrolling. The iPhone doesn't need maxed out specs for how the OS works.

It may not need maxed out specs...but when in a market you always want to one up your competitors...something apple hasn't done in a while when it comes to hardware...android doesn't need a dual core or a gig of ram to run...but they have androids with dual cores and over a gig of ram because they can/bragging rights...its not a need its just there because they have the ability (I have an infuse that has a single core and only 750mb ram that runs jellybean extremely smooth)...and if an sgs3 and an iPhone are gonna be the same price ill go with the phone that has better hardware
Smoothness...I have no problem with contacts or browser...whether its zooming in or scrolling...completely butter smooth...I've used many iPhones (never owned one) and I'm anything but naive when it comes to mobile devices, in my opinion the vivid is smoother and snappier then the 4s and all its predecessors
I'm also the kind of a guy that wants (if not needs) the best of the best hardware...although I would never need this much power, I'm saving up for parts to build a custom pc that will have 8 cores (probably more by the time I get the money/a job...), 32gb of ram, 3tb HDD...etc not cause I need all that but cause I can...pretty much bragging rights...I wanna be that guy that has the fastest hardware -so that plays a huge role in my opinion...its just the way I am, I want the best
Everyone has differnt opinions, everyone wants there phone to do different things...one device can't satisfy everyone, get what you like and enjoy it...
I like the smoothness of the vivid, you like the smoothness of the iPhone -let's leave it at that...no amount of debating will change either of our minds

Lmao at this thread. It's always iphone vs something. Considering the vivid isn't a flagship of well anything and the 5 is the flagship of Apple, they can't be compared imo. A more fair comparison would be vs the One X, Galaxy S3, or Galaxy Nexus. Just sayin

This thread is dumb.
Why would you compare a phone that came out almost a year ago to the iPhone 5? That is asinine.
Try comparing it to the Galaxy Note 2 or the HTC One X.
Then ignore the gpu benchmark garbage because the iOS ui is driven by the gpu whereas android only recently got true hardware acceleration as of ICS, and even with it, the ui processes are mostly cpu based only using the gpu when necessary unless you enable the feature in the development settings to always use HA.
So, in short, stop being stupid and learn how to properly research and compare technologies instead of spouting spec sheets comparing a brand new flagship against a former flagship. Compare the Vivid to the 4S

I don't know why everyone thinks the vivid used to be a flag ship...it never was a flag ship...at least not in my opinion...it was just another phone with decent specs released to keep the funds coming in for htc...nothing about the vivid Is really flagship worthy...1.2ghz dual for stock...was common back when vivid was released, 1gb if ram...again was common, lte...only thing that put it above other Att phones at the time
Go ahead and disagree with me...I'm just stating my opinion...

Exactly - in a lot of ways, it was a "middle of the road" device even back then.
What's interesting, though, is that it can still compete in a lot of ways with the latest offering from Apple.
Actually I think it was top of the line at release. The hardware was very good for the time, better than any other phone on AT&T. The only other competitor was the skyrocket. If they wouldn't have messed with the bootloader we would've had a huge dev community. Tons of devs pledged to come to the Vivid but they went back on their word after the bootloader fiasco.

What's with people's obsession with FM radio ? I mean haven't you heard about TuneIn or similar apps. I mean argument could be about needing an internet but unless you're in the middle of nowhere you'll have cellular provider with DATA plan on it. I mean I am in New York and we're FAR FAR behind other countries and we're having unlimited internet already here with budget companies not to mention premium (Like Simple Mobile vs T-Mobile or H2O vs ATT) so that said I do see a lot of people asking about FM radio and if phone does not have one it's like mehhhh on auto. Anyone care to explain. ?
Now about SGS5. I am proud owner of i337 (It's a SGS4 from ATT) And I am totally happy with it and being an phone junky and was totally in to SGS5 and after hearing everything I must admit I no longer have an urge to get one, I mean forget about significant upgrade, I just no digging lower PPI and no metal in-casing. So I may be skipping this time around. Who knows I may even cheat on Samsung with ....next HTC One ? ......

Well, it costs money to have data, internet radio has a significant delay... Radio is offered for free, I don't want to pay even more to use it.

On top of that, it could prove helpful in an emergency situation where you don't have a data connection and need access to the latest news.
