Hi I'm looking to buy or change my phone to an TRUE android OS. And i don't wanna buy just a MARKETING or commercial bull**** LIKE APPLE,SAMSUNG etc. Because when i say TRUE ANDROID i expect to heave FULL control about every single byte of my phone.
Since 1999 From when it started with smartphone "ERA" i had this phones: Nokia 5110, 3310 ,3410, then i switch to an MOTO V3 Then i moved back to Symbian with N70 , E55 and later to an E72. In 2010 I bought from a friend an Blackberry Curve8900 and then i buy a brand new Bold 9780. In 2014 i bought an SH from ebay S4mini and that phone had introduce me to Android OS. From the first month of use i rooted the phone installed Cyanogenmod etc. I was so fascinated about all you can do with an Android OS. Then i bought S5mini, then an S5LTE+ (this phone has a Beast of graphic card in my opinion).
Currently I'm a user of an Samsung s6 (Rooted with CF-Root) i buy it brand new in 2015 and to be honest i admit, i buy it just because of Commercial bull**** stories...
I'm an windows user since i was a Kid, i started on windows 95, i know all of windows ****'s i can install, configure them. I can make windows programs etc. but honestly when i moved to java in my Collage was i pain i can't do a **** in java...I'm an Noob there ...
So what's the BEST Android phone for a user like me? I hate Apple **** and i start to feel a Noob with my samsung...(thanks for your patience and in some ways sorry for my not so good English ). I wait some answers and more questions if you have!
Hi,
There's a dedicated thread for such questions here, https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620179
Lots of opinions there, so I'll close this thread. :good:
Can leave out all the bad language too next time, it's unnecessary.

Hello, i am a WM user since my qtek s200, and that is a way back, i love WM phones, i had over 6 WM devices and now i had a contract renewal and i got myself an iphone 3gs. I am a iphone hater -or maybe was-, and i do have the device for 4 days now. To my suprise the iphone is really good, really fast, and now that has turn by turn navigation its really usable. Fluent graphics, really powerful applications, and really really good support.
I thought i would never say this, but i am selling both my HD's, and its gonna take me a while to get back to WM devices.
Flame as you guys want, i just wanted to give my 2 cents on the thing thats happening.
I went the other way. Had enough of the low-res toy that is the Iphone, with Apple constantly blocking users from doing what they want.
My condolences
Well - as always it depends on what you want from your device... If you are satisfied with the abilities apple lets you use - go for the iphone. If you want a device you can customize in every way you want - go for a WM-device. And I have to agree with arfster: The resolution on the iphone is a disgrace! I'm definitely not willing to go to anything below VGA after having a WVGA device!
But I'm happy as long as your happy with the iphone!

Nice one!
I used to own an iPod touch (Iphone without the phone) and just found it to gimmicky. Sooner or later you will get bored of useless apps & games and come running back
Anyway have fun with your iPhone! I certainly would like to have one for 12 months +!

Congratuations.
I've seen enough of what it can do to know that you're making the right move. Once jailbroken, I've seen how customizable it is, perhaps even more customizable than winmo phone. Everytime I see her, the phone looks different. She was having a HTC Hero look just the other day, and before that it looked like a Palm Pre. I've seen my cousin's iPhone and played with it, and it is truly amazing and awesome. Fantastic application functionalities and choices. Fantastic speed and smoothness. Fantastic for internet on the go. Fantastic media device.
I'm half way there in my saving to buy a second hand 3GS.

What stuff from HTC Hero or Palm Pre did you actually see? Are you certain that it is customizable. Because all I can see is the same old home screen with an HTC Hero Wallpaper.
Yes you now have turn by turn navigation but just see what happens when you take a phone call. On my Diamond TomTom just continued working and I could chat away to my heart's content. The iPhone will terminate the satnav application to tale the call. The iPhone is very, very shiny but has some serious restrictions - not to mention having to jailbreak to get away from the control freakery that is Apple.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
theres my thoughts
kidding but in all seriousness, and im sure we remember the other conversations iphone is for ppl and winmo is for others
it depends on what ur needs are from the deivice
What is it about people that they feel the need to come on a Windows Mobile forum to start a new thread to announce that they just got a new iPhone ?
Can't they just ressurrect one of the other 1000 threads that were started everytime Apple passes gas. ?
I have five Macs currently, am typing this on a Mac, my first PDA was an Apple Newton. I have been an Apple fanboy for 30yrs. And am on my second iPhone.
I also love my Kaiser. Now when I got my new 3Gs last month, my first thought wasn't to rush right over to XDA to start a new thread to announce that I had gotten a new iPhone, why is that everyone elses first thought ?
Can we just add all the " I just got a new iPhone " threads to the AS team's list of duties ?

No, it's more than a mere wallpaper. It also includes customizing the icons, the keyboards, the phone pad, the home screen itself, etc.
Did some googling, and found this..
Of course, don't expect it to have the complete behaviour of HTC hero, just like you would not expect a winmo phone that has been customized to mimic iphone to behave like iPhone.
Cheers.
hey guys...im plannin to buy an iphone 3g....does anybody know how to unlock it....

It pretty much comes down to this: If you want a phone that's super pretty, super usable, super fast and that JUST WORKS, you get an iPhone. In doing so, you have to play by Apple's rules, which is a consequence of having a phone that works so incredibly well.
However, if you want a device that puts YOU in control, from choice of device to choice of UI and application development, then you go Android or Windows Mobile. Additionally, if you need a "true" business device (sorry, folks; a virtual keyboard doesn't cut it at the moment) that works well with Exchange and helps you get things done, then you stick to Windows Mobile or Blackberry (which is just as closed in as the iPhone is).
I loved the iPhone, but the virtual keyboard and "closed-ness" of the platform turned me off to it. Further, I realized that after jailbreaking and customizing it, it becomse just as slow and unreliable as any other smartphone. I also really, really, really wanted additional storage space. (8GB is NOT enough.) Windows Mobile is definitely old hat in this game, but the fact that it still works incredibly well and still offers a very useful tool set (for me) makes it the right choice.
oh dude, u might be typing iphone-developers.com

I like the digital world .
Since the last year I met my first windows mobile phone : htc tornado. I have been attaracted by the smart device. Using it, I can surf the wap more freely and I can do a lot of things with it. I regard it as a little computers.
Having used the tornado half of a year, I turned my phone into pocket pc, the first phone is the classical htc herms. But I think it is too thick and too heavy, so I turned to htc elf in a month. Aha, and in about half of a year, I got my diamond. I think diamond is nearly a perfect phone, except for its low battery and low ringtones. But I can accept it. I am a college student , I do not have much money for me to change my phone . I have the spirit to do the research for the smart device.
I have been a windows mobile fans since I met it. So I show the technology to my friends ,and more and more friends join in the windows mobile. They felt it was amazing just like me.
Since I Like the windows os so much, I begin hate the other os,such as symbain, I think it is a simple os and the hard device is poor and has little fun to search. Maybe I have been extremed, but I really do not like it.
But the windows os still have the disadvantages. As we know, the 65536 colors limit the screen. The other os have supported the higher colors many years ago. Though the windows os have the good cpu or higer ram, but the speed can hardly make the users satisfied. The biggest shortcomings is that the windows os are not easy to use unless you have much time to do research for it. I think it is really a big problem. Not everybody have much time to update the os or search how I can use it as a normal phone. But we have seen the change of the windows mobile. We have seen the new UI like touchflo3d,spbmobile shell. I think the Microsoft and the producers still have the ability to change the User Experience.
Some guys may be hard to understand my English, because English is not my mother language. I am a Chinese, aha! Thanks for everybody come here to see my first article in the forum. Er...I have a wish that guys may like htc, you may know htc is from taiwan. And taiwan is a provience of China. ha! It is too far away from the topic...

Welcome! Enjoy your Diamond and this forum
Hey,welcome, i am also fresh to WM, and come from China.
In my opinion, I don't think WM is the best OS, you have to reset your phone maybe once a week. I like this so called Diamond thing, although I am not interested in upgrading my phone. I like the original ROM. still try finding some useful softwares.
Anyway enjoy your Diamond
Hahaha, welcome and I'm newbie too. Diamond is really top device! Although wm is not the best os it fits me most and I love my diamond!
Hope you can have a fun here.
Hello ...... Is there any way to install android on hd7 with windows os?.....
Can somebody help me plz?
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
I will try to NOT hurt your feelings, but...
Do you have problems using the search function? From this perspective it looks like that.
If you want android so bad, sell the HD7 and buy any phone with android that fits your needs.
You are now a part of a long lists of "users" that bought the HD7 because they wanted to install android on it, just to get PWN:crying:, because it will never be android on this phone, also the collective you are now part have a severe brain malfunction that causes the avoidance of the SEARCH function within the XDA website.
If you think this is offensive, it's more offensive for US to read the same stupid question again and again...
WP7 & Andoid
Hi. No offense, dear faustolg, Direphoenix wants to be just informed. Can be got from a friend HD7, but WP7 only does not fit for him.
For instance, I am procured this phone because I have become accustomed in the past for WinMobile and I wanted to return to this platform. However, despite considerable quantity applications for WP7/8 they still can not compete with Android and that lacks me many Apps, to which I was accustomed on WM but on WP they were do not yet migrated.
It's just so much.

Hello Nick and welcome,

What's goody? I'm bobbymobetta, you cab find me under that handle most everywhere I go. I was early on an iPhone hater and my first smartphone was a Motorola Droid with slide-out physical keyboard. In those days I used to say I'd never use an iPhone specifically because of the keyboard. But my second (emergency switch) android phone was an original Samsung Galaxy (a 1 I guess) after throwing that phone against a wall I swore I'd never go back to android, and as a mostly mac/apple ecosystem user, that promise seemed like it would be easy to keep. 10 years later, as the backlash began against the big stacks, I returned to Samsung with a Galaxy 9. Why? Because I wanted more freedom to modify and even simply to customize the UI, and occasionally the OS. Now, with a brand new iteration of my trusty Galaxy (S21+) It's clear to me where the lines get drawn; Android users fight for net neutrality and generally speaking have a "Don't Tread on Me" mentality. iPhone users are those who, when their screen cracks, they immediately trash it and buy a new one, secretly happy for an excuse to get the "newest, best" you know, that one with more "security" (surveillance) features and... a newest bestestest camera, but otherwise is essentially the same as the last version.
I play and write music, most recently getting deep into the analog synthesis scene, and I'm cohost of the podcast 'Earth's Mightiest Podcast' which features revues and commentary about the latest Avengers comics...as well as other things
Get at me! I'm here mainly to try rooting my S20, since if it bricks, I won't be up that creek with no paddle... shoot, what's that creel called again...?
