I have been using the HTC Desire for about 2 months but I am just fascinated with the 4" captivate. I am really thinking of ditching my Desire for the Captivate - going from Froyo to Eclair. Anyone know why I shouldn't? Thanks
You should ditch the desire. Captivate is much nicer. I am willing to take the desire off your hands. How much you want for it.

Prior to getting the Captivate, I had to choose between the Desire and the Captivate too.
Unfortunate as it is, the one major advantage the Desire had was simply because it was an HTC phone. On XDA, being an HTC phone means better support. If XDA support is a dealbreaker for you, then keep the desire. Otherwise, the Captivate is pretty much superior in every way.
So can anyone enlight me with what's the point of having a custom ROM in a Windows Phone 7 platform?
Some of the features I've seen under the development section adds multi language support, xap installs(not sure what this is), but I don't really see any major improvements.
Am I missing something here?

Many improvements, Android fanboys wanting to start trouble are not welcome here. Exact same can be said of the hundreds of copycat android roms.

I'm not a fanboy lol. I have an HD7 wanted to know what was the advantage of adding a custom ROM to my phone.
Thanks anyway

I apologize, my mistake. Custom roms now give the user a different look and the ability to sideload apps. Access to file system is also moving along nicely with unlocked roms. There are many advantages allowing for more customization of WP7.

I would also like to know. My buddy had his hd2 replaced w a hd7 and he wants to sell it. Im considering buying it and it would be my first wp7 device.
I want to veer away from android for ****z n giggles, but wanna make sure I'm not blowing money for no reason. I love custom roms, so please, what's the advantage, are there special apps that benefit from root access? Are there other devices that get more dev support? Or is the hd7 a good all around device? I'd be paying like 150 for my buddy's refurb which he didn't even take out of the box yet. Can't be that bad of a deal right?

$150 is a lot for the HD7 these days.

If it's in great condition, 150 would seem fair, this device is getting more and more support as time goes on. Gen 2 devices are just starting to come out, so it is not really outdated yet.

Its an unused refurb from asurion so yeah its in perfect shape. Now I'm all on the fence about superAmoled or not cuz a Samsung focus will run me around 150 aswell. I am definitely itching bad to get a wp7 device .....

Is anyone planning to upgrade their device and is looking for a replacement to their current phone? What would it be? And why? I'm planning in a few months so I could use some opinions!!

I've been using IncS for just over a year now. I still think my phone is pretty good and fast for me. Now with ICS, it's even better. I believe it can at least last for another year.
Changed phone to one x. Nice ICS.

Was all in for one s but found the coating chipped problem on the black version, so decide to wait and see.
To me, give my IS duo core, a little better camera (It's already quite good), I will be happily stick with it for another year, it is just so overall nice compare to other phone.

Duo/Quad core with slightly better GPU and I'll use it for another 3 years.
My phone is currently with HTC service for changing USB port /mainboard. Depending on the condition it comes back,I'm sticking with my current phone.
Edit.
I mean I intend to stick with my IncredibleS. Served me well for a year, still has good value & mileage to last for another year,easily.

I sold my IncS and bought a One X instead. And i have no regrets so far

I just got my phone back from HTC, I sent it in because my power button was a bit dodgy, and my warranty is running out
Anyway I got it back, more than a month later, and it had a new motherboard, s-on with HBOOT 2.00.000
I had planned to sell it, and buy an Evo 3D, but after I took pictures for ebay, I decided to keep it, and I downgraded and rooted it
As soon as ICS arrives, I will be happy

Like everyone would ask!! If you used your one x as much you use incredible s daily what is the battery life you get??
Sent from my Incredible S using Tapatalk
Nexus Family is one of the best candidates.
My friend moved from InS to Galaxy Nexus for a month, And he told me that he wouldn't buy any other brand but Nexus.
The only current phone I would upgrade to would be the One S, and right now I have no plans to retire my Incredible S for the foreseeable future.

Well my IncS sure had a better battery life.
I would like my onex's battery to last longer, but I can live with it.
And the speed and smoothness is so much greater on this one. And I am running completely stock and not even rooted.
Also I am one of the lucky ones having almost none of the reported issues with the OneX.
So its clearly an upgrade I would recommend

Nexus is a good phone but the money u pay for it is not what u get ...earlier nexus were great and up to the mark but the recent one is just plain odd for a flagship phone!! Hope HTC makes the next nexus! And I recently had a chance to use the xperia s .. must say for the price I was impressed and it has a pretty good battery life!!

No one's planning for the s3... Just announced recently!! What's the thoughts on that?

The rezound is a Verizon US only phone.
My contract ends this time next year :/
IMO the galaxy s 3 looks ugly, if I wanted something else I would get a one s
It just looks good, fast, and cos the one x is too big
So basically, I'm going to get a note 2 in the next week or so, and I was going to sell my IncS. However, I realised how much I'd miss this xda community, so that's the reason I'm going to keep my phone as a media device for my future car just thought I'd let you all know how great this community is

There are a number of people (i dont know them personally of course. We just see each other on another forum occassionally). When I asked him what for, he said Android is a bit unstable for him. He said his phone crashed in the middle of a business call or something important like that. So he went for a Windows Phone and its rock solid. He said it never crashed on him yet and I totally believe him. Windows Phone has always been quite solid and very reliable for day to day tasks like email, messages, dialing and the likes. The only thing lacking though, is the app store but he says it does not really matter. he uses his phone for work only so yea, does make sense that he would not care.

This thread is for all those ROOTED users who have SOLD/THROWN AWAY their HTC Salsas, NOT for advertising and putting salsas up on sale.
This helps devs keep track of active users
You can optionally tell us why you sold/threw your salsa. You might have sold/thrown away your salsa because of
HTCs lack of support.
Lack of developers.
Contract got over.
Obsolete specifications (screen size, processor and so on).
You threw it in a dustbin because it lagged.
You used it as an antique piece to renovate your house or donated it to a museum because you bricked it.
Gave it off as charity to a church/mosque/temple.
Dropped it in the toilet.
Any reason.

Hi
I am still using the HTC Salsa as my primary phone .Ans I am thankful to developers like u to keep the fun alive in this 2.5 years old device :good:
Have been using the stock ROM as all the JB ROMS are having camera , Battery & GPS issue on my device
I plan to upgrade it by December this year , and the main reason for my upgrade is 1.Most Games are not supported on this device
2.I need a bigger screen and more RAM ( i think the iPhone 5 Screen Best suits me ) as i mainly read ebooks on my device ( other than Whats app and calling )
3.SNS integration for me is not a BIG buying decision ,( LOL I know u would be thinking then why i bought a phone with 'f- button ' that was mainly as I am a BIG BIG HTC fan and at the time pf buying Salsa in the budget I only had HTC Wildfire as a alternative option )
4.My next phone could be the HTC One Mini .As mentioned I like the screen size not more than 4.5
Well i just bought nexus as my primary phone, but im not selling my salsa cuz so many memories left behind. I wat to say thanx for all developers in here especially fo bigbear who helping me a lots back there.
Thanks for all support, God bless you all :thumbup::beer::thumbup:

Still use Salsa as primary phone. Maybe next year I buy a new phone because CPU works a bit slow and internal memory is too small.
In this time I will help to develop the newer Android versions for the old Salsa.
I got a tab 2 in March End, I'm using it for screen size as primary device now. I won't sell my salsa cause I'm changing my ISP now so hopefully by diwali I do compiling from source of CM and PA ROMs..... I have all the necessary things only thing bothering was internet. I hope that gets resolved. Once it does I'm on a roll.
crest_delta one mini is not a bad choice, look out for more. Push the threshold to 5 inches. Cause anything under 4.5 isn't too great. I got a 7 inch tab for phone calls, trust me tab is fun, if you are ready to bear with a radio set like thing to hold in hands while talking on a phone call. Or better is to keep your salsa and get a nexus 7 WiFi and give a hotspot to it from salsa.

Gave my salsa to my bro, bought xolo q700.
although I've gained an iPhone 4s I'm still using my salsa for satnav etc, but my kids use it alot when I'm not around. i would keep developing but my divorce is kinda messy right now and i cannot do anything.
Sold my Salsa last month.
Got Nokia lumia 925.I must say i really didnt want to sell it for the memories but i use only 1 sim and hence there was no point in keeping it.
