So what do you think guys..Would it be wise for me to sell my kaiser over an IPhone? If not, please argue your response. I know this is a Windows Mobile thread, but I guess you can give me some objective answers.
Btw, if someone passed from IPhone to Kaiser or similar WinMob phone, I'd be very interested to hear from because I heard lots of users passing to IPhone but not the other way around.
Thanks!

I did exactly that, I had the Hermes (Cingular's 8525) and used this forum and ROMs from here and I thought all was great but I got into the hype and waited in line on opening day and got the Iph0ne (1st Gen)...
I used it for about a year (a little more) and well just got tired of it for me and my needs... Now I have the Kaiser (tilt) and I am not missing the Iph0ne.
Answering your question requires more information.
It entirely depends on what you use your phone for.
I find that having the full, hardware keyboard makes email, note taking, and appointment management much easier than on an iPhone.
So, what do you use your phone for?

Yes... You should sell it for money twards an iPhone.. More specifically, you should sell it to me... for $50....
Hi!
I just got a phone bought in Dubai, that appears to be a iphone clone. The problem however is that i can't figure out which one this is. I've tride to open the phone, read trough the manual, tried MyPhoneExplorer in help of identifing it, with no luck.
Does anyone have any idea about some tools, something to figure this out? I can't even figure out which OS its running.
Yeah, im a newbie.
Thanks in advance.
Welcome to forums
This is an HTC devices only forum, hope someone can point you to the right place but do not expect too much as apart from not being HTC also is a copy
Good luck,
Thanks for your reply
True, i also have a touch diamond, thats why i love this place =)
just threw in a longshot in hope of someone having the knowledge of some tools or any advice at all regarding this strange device.
well what comes up when you plug the phone into your computer? (i'm assuming you have an appropriate cable).
I have several choices i.e mass storage etc, but the COM connection displays as a "MTK6255" which my OS (win7) dont recognize.
MTK6255 is the platform on your phone.
Try using the MTK driver from here:
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=540559
might be a meizu m8...i have one
Don't think so. The M8 runs on Windows CE platform as described here:
http://www.techtickerblog.com/2009/02/09/meizu-m8-review/
i think i just found your phone here:
http://www.downtownkey.com/hiphone-3g-music-cell-phone-support-mp3mp4-bluetooth_p7403.html
Note the CPU.
SciPhone?
It might be a SciPhone.
This guy put together a review of a lot of the iPhone clones: http://home.comcast.net/~plutarch/Sciphone-i68.html.
There is a forum for SciPhones, http://www.mysciphone.com/English_Sciphone_Forum/index.php. I'd check that out too.
The MTK processors are really, really, really slow and do not run Windows Mobile.
I have a CiPhone C5, which runs on a 450MhZ Samsung Processor with Windows Mobile 6.1 OS. Much better than any of the phones you'll find at mysciphone.com. xda-developers.com has been amazing for learning how to use and modify my phone.
Welcome to the forum
---------------------
Please guys!
Do not buy copies, they are cheap, bad quality and not long lasting
Buy the original stuff!
Thanks so much for replys guys, really appreciate it.
For the Sciphone i68-3G, its identical in looks, but i dont have any 3,5mm Jack
Whereas to the hiphone, I found this:
"How to find HiPhone firmware version
Call #*44673#1# and press "version info". You should now see the firmware version of your HiPhone."
Which dont work for me...
thesecondsfade: Is the MTK processor really that sucky? I really dont think i will be using this phone anyways, but I really just want to explore and learn as much as i can. But if it is that crap, i guess i cant do anything
I may have forgotten to mention that i found somewhere in the manual where it stated "mini iphoen" "mini iphone". -But aint so mini imo..

I know it's probably not as high quality as some of the other retail phones available on long data/phone contracts with the US cell phone companies, but I just can't afford that. I really wanted a new Windows Mobile phone without having to sign up for an expensive plan to get it... so I bought the CiPhone C5. I did a lot of research before buying it.

It's probably the i68+, not the i68+3G. The 3G model has the 3.5mm jack, the i68+ doesn't.

I had one for about a month and it was too slow for my tastes. The firmware was flawed as well. There is a website you can upgrade your firmware, but that'll cost you another $40 bucks or so... probably not worth it but you can decide that for yourself.

The Chinese clones are known to be sketchy when it comes to their manuals... or even in their descriptions of what they're selling. Most sellers just try to say whatever they can to sell the phones without really knowing what exactly they're selling.
Try putting *#8375# into the dialer.

Didnt work.
I guess ill sell this and buy the proper phone, HTC Hero
The only other dail code I know for the clones is *#433943#.
this works
*#11*# gives you the software version
that post... are you serious? Cause I would understand if it wasn't intentional... but...
that's just pure fail, in all it's beauty.

FAAAAIL
Hi,
I bought a Chinese phone, a clone of the Blackberry HS 9500 I think (looks like the Blockberry 9500 clone) and it has the Engrish manual as you might expect.
Given that I set my aims before purchase (I wanted a cheap dual SIM and not much else besides a media player, basic camera, bluetooth … couldn't care less about the TV/FM and so on) and, it isn't bad but the media player is fairly rubbish inasmuch as I have no idea how to get it to play a track (pref. a series of tracks).
A colleague, though, intrigued me with talk of alternate OS's for phones and given that its OS is by far the worst part of the phone (not bad but not good either) I wondered if cheap phones of this kind can be given a new OS and, if so, how I go about it?
Thx for any advice

I bought mine from Bigboxstores and within a week it had a dead pixel on screen. I emailed them and said I was returning it for a refund. I packaged it exactly as it was received and it was in mint condition. A whole month went by and I kept emailing them and asking if they had it, eventually they said they did and were checking it. I eventually got an email saying 'sorry no refund, phone works fine, has a few marks on it, thank you'.
No offer to exchange it or anything. I have resigned myself to the fact I have lost my money. Such terrible customer service and using a pony excuse to avoid refunding me. It's not like I'm gonna travel to China to get my money back.
My advice is steer clear of copies and do NOT buy from Bigboxstores as if there is problem with your phone, you will NOT get your money back.

To the "Stinky Dentist), get the Nexus 7. Has a nice development forum for it.
Oh, I moved this to general forum.

Apologies , Moscow Desire and stinky dentist...
Guess I'm just tired (been up for 30 hours)... it was the whole orange color scheme and the fact I couldn't really understand the question upon my first reading.
And you're right, MD, I'm not a moderator... I overstepped the mark... sorry.

@stinky dentist....
I don't know about the Samsung... but the N7 is a pretty cool device. If you're willing to go all the way with it (unlock the bootloader), there are some great custom ROMs to flash... and with a newly discovered exploit, it's easy to ROOT.
I suppose it depends on what you want to use the device for... gaming, browsing, etc. Flashing custom ROMs... Does the Samsung have an unlockable bootloader? The Nexus 7 does... and that is why it's such an attractive device for tinkerers like me.
Anyway, just my thoughts... you'll have to make your own decision of course.
Good luck... and once again, my apologies for being so short with you.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Thanks Mate. Cheers

No problem...
If you're interested in the 7inch form factor, and the Nexus 7 in particular, you might want to keep your cash in your pocket for a while, as there is a second generation Nexus 7 on the horizon, tentatively pencilled in for a July release...
http://www.pc-tablet.com/23388-google-nexus-7-2nd-generation-release-date-specs-android-50-updates
http://www.product-reviews.net/2013/04/16/nexus-7-sequel-sales-predictions-for-2nd-gen
There's a lot of baseless speculation, not least here on XDA, about this device and KeyLimePie (Android 5.0)... and even a putative further upgrade to JellyBean, namely 4.3. (If that happens, I will be astonished.)
If I were you, with money to spend on an Android tablet, I would hold off until the Google I/O conference in San Francisco (May 15-17), when it's expected significant announcements and product rollouts will occur... both software and hardware related.

What he said...
But if you need to buy one now, I would recommend N7... I am a Samsung fan and I own a few Samsung devices, but current gen N7 has better specs than Tab 2 7. One thing I miss though... is that Samsung has a microSD expansion slot. I miss this a lot on my N7 but other than that, I would consider N7 a better buy.
I am really disappointed with XDA and all the forums. What a waste of time they have become. They were created to help each other and share knowledge etc,but nowadays there simply is none of that whatsoever. It really doesnt matter what device you own,the experience is exactly the same for every forum. Nobody is interested in helping anyone anymore. Take this Nokia 1 forum as an example. I myself have posted a few times asking for help and advice etc with regards to issues etc i am experiencing with my moms Nokia and nobody ever bothers to reply or try to help. What a shame and a waste XDA has become.
Mate, you got the cheapest phone around with low specs and locked bootloader with no unlock option (officially) so don't except much.
It's like you've got the old car and get angry to the Manufacturer because price for checkup is way higher. Nokia 1 is low-tier device and not many people got it.
If you want "help each other and share knowledge etc" get a better device.

Please do us both a favour and actually read a post before you comment. Firstly,i am not your mate. My name is Tracey,that means a lady or female. Secondly,my own device is an Xperia XZ2, the Nokia is my moms phone,a woman in her 60's so she does'nt need more than she has. What she however does not need,is all the issues the Nokia had been giving her since updating it to Android 10 and then not having any after sales support from the manufacturer and also nobody really bothered to help on "help" forums created for that very reason. Helping others and sharing.

There's quite a few threads with honest opinions, just have a look around.
Buy or Not
Was a huge oneplus fan from 1 all the way up oneplus 8. Then went to s21 ultra for a year. Started to get bored now and looking at the 10 pro. What you guys think yes or no. Have I missed anything the os?
