what do u guys think about these two phones whos better? or whats better?
imho it all comes down to what 3th party programs one want
tilt, if only the video drivers were included.
They're fully incomparable.
1. If you need MUCH better audio / quality (!) A2DP / video / MUCH better camera / MUCH better, 3D accelerated gaming / being lightweight (!!!), get the Nokia. It's way better in these respects.
2. If you DO know you MUST have Windows Mobile and don't want to play / the low-quality A2DP and the considerably higher weight isn't a problem (that is, you're looking for a "strictly" business machine with almost non-existing entertainment capabilities), get the Kaiser.
BTW, there is another, relate dthread of the same subject in this forum; use the forum search engine.
*pops his head round the corner*
My Kaiser provides me with more than enough entertainment, I watch films, listen to music through my bluetooth headphones, and browse the net. It also has the "wow" factor compared to other phones/Pda's (even if features of it don't run as well as other phones/pda's)

Ever compared the A2DP quality of the MS BT stack to that of the competition? ;-)

List here what exactly you want to do and I tell you which of the two you should get. It's mostly about entertainment / camera / weight vs. built-in keyboard / Windows Mobile / touchscreen.

Personally, I prefer the N95 over the Kaiser because I love the unmatched multimedia features, the flawless answering machine / call recording (which the Kaiser miserably fails to deliver), gaming capabilities (3D hardware accelerator!) and the camera (and, I also have other Windows Mobile devices, should I need to use Windows Mobile for some reason). The crippled multimedia / gaming, bad camera and, as far as using the phone is concerned, the lack of call recording support of the Kaiser are a showstopper for me.
HOWEVER, if you DO know you absolutely MUST have a touchscreen or Windows Mobile, you should go the Kaiser route.

pocketpc have been an active platform for way longer then there was anything called symbian or anything called java at all
of cause it all comes down to what programs one needs but i dare say that there are more pocketpc arm based applications developed then symbian or java apps for phones
I would have a hard time dealing with no touch screen. I got used to graphite writing back in the palm days and it would be hard to do without, especially losing both that and the qwerty keyboard. I have had one other symbian phone too and was not thrilled with either the UI or the 3rd party program selection. I think it has gotten much better since though. I actaully have been keeping my eye on if the Sony W960i is going to make it stateside, but it isn't looking good.
I am most hopeful for the iMate 9502, but may wind up with the LG KS20, once it comes down to a reasonable price (and actually starts shipping??).
What about the MWg Atom Life Windows Mobile 6 Edition. Anyone know anything about this? Looks like No GPS or BT though.

Ummm... I don't know what you're talking about - my kaiser is a freaking entertainment facility. I have excellent GPS, about 20-25 great games that I love to cut my spare time with, I watch movies when I'm in traffic, I watch Discovery channel on it, with new camera app I take excellent movies (even at night, in Las Vegas I filmed a great movie about dancing fountains) and photos.. When I go fishing, I play music for me and my friends over the speakerphone...
That's only etnertainment.. I'm not even talking about amazing upgradability and customization of Windows Mobile. And the fact that it fully syncs with Outlook, and trust me - I was an Outlook hater about 5 years ago. Outlook 2007 is amazing and I love it.
I mean what else do you need from the PPC? To have hot sex with you?

Which games do you play? I bought the Kaiser thinking I would get to play some SNES games on it as a bonus, but I was greatly dissapointed in that matter.
Well, I wonder how you got you Kaiser to film at night. I tried to film some new years fireworks and that filming went terribly bad. You can count the average fps just by watching it ( like 1/2frames every second). Every other phone/camera there filmed at least a regular movie.
The speakerphone crakles all the time, I can't really appreciate music through it.
The N95 series is great minus the build quality.
I prefer the Kaiser overall because it's a better PDA, but they are still very different.

Here's some cool games that run perfectly on Kaiser:
MoreGames Legends of Orions (with addon)
MoreGames Nanobotz (both games have very cool graphics)
Arcades Collection (about 5-6 games)
Bubble Shooter (don't confuse with bubble breaker)
Doom
Contra
Palm Heroes
Pocket Transport Tycoon Deluxe (free and have awesome graphics)
Pocket Hexen
Pocker Challenge
Pool Challenge
Rats
Tomb Raider (plays like a charm)
Wolfenstein 3D (no problems whatsoever, insane FPS)
Age of Empires (works perfectly, very high FPS)
you just have to look for it. Some games won't run well on Kaiser even with drivers.

I don't know what to say - It's been at night (around 11 or so), on the street, only light was the hotel in the far back, and some lighted fountains in the foreground. I can't count the FPS, but I can estimate it to be around 25-30. I can upload the video once I cut it, as it is - it's 11MB (about 5 minutes long).

Dunno what to say either, I had Wizard before this, and although Wizard's speakerphone was just insane (best one I've heard), Kaiser's is not that bad at all.
Wouldn't a better comparison be between the HTC Kaiser/Tilt and Nokia E90..? Those are the flagship enterprise communicators for each company.
I've cut that video to a smaller size and uploaded several of them.
Here's the topic about that:

I've been watching Torchwood, and the first eight episodes were all excellent quality. It's available in many countries I believe, but my Unblock-Us happened to be set to USA when I watched it.
Anyway, season 1 episode 9, entitled "Random Shoes", played inexplicably in a 4:3 format on my HDTV with black bars on either side. The picture was not distorted or anything so it was clearly pan-and-scan type source material. I have double checked - in Firefox on my desktop I get the same too. However if I play it on my Nexus 7 it does give me a proper 16:9 aspect ratio. The moment I push it to Chromecast though I get 4:3 again on TV. Episodes 8 and 10 are 16:9 on all devices.
I wonder if this is just a glitch with Netflix's servers then? Maybe there are some sporadic episodes here & there where it serves up the wrong media on certain devices.
Interestingly, when I switched Unblock-Us to UK, this episode played in nice crisp 16:9 HD again. I also noticed that on the US site I can add closed captions to Torchwood (really helpful when I can't understand heavy accents speaking softly against background music), but on the UK site I cannot.
It's an issue at Netflix..
I have had the same issue when watching "Dead Like Me". Some episodes player properly and then a few played incorrectly.

Netflix issue, not Chromecast. I came across this thread when Random Shoes randomly played in 4:3 on my LG Blu-Ray player.
Yeah, I'm finding that some of the Netflix titles are encoded improperly...
Does anyone know if there's a way to report an issue with a video to Netflix?
I'm new to Netflix and I looked around but maybe I missed something obvious.
They actually take phone calls. I phoned in to report terrible subtitles for "Arrow".

I just got my red magic 3s. When I try to play VUDU movies if its HD or 4K it will only play in SD. Also when I try my movies anywhere it gives me a play back error I am unable to play any movies. Can any one help?
I found this online if this helps. Since the red magic 3s is L3 any one know a workaround on this....
Download the "DRM Info" app from Google Play and run it to see what Security Level your phone has. It must have "L1" in order to download/play movies in HDX. If it shows L2 or L3, it can't do HDX
So I was worried about this as well. I just got my 256 gb 3s today and started to play two shows I was watching on my Note 10 plus, Wu Assassins and Fractured (on Netflix). I queued both up at the same point and compared the video quality as well as the volume. I literally could not tell the difference between both shows playing at the same time. As a matter of fact, the video quality on the 10 plus seemed a little darker and bland compared to the 3s I just got. I cranked up the 10 plus brightness to compensate but the colors were still a little darker on the skin tone. Volume was about the same, maybe a little louder or more stereo like on the 3s. I went back into the episode title and noticed the HDR was missing next to the title information which tells me it's playing in standard def.
I don't know if my settings for Netflix are wrong on the Note 10 plus but I'm much happier now with my viewing experience on the 3s since I can't discern any lesser quality compared to my Note 10 plus.

Hello, everybody,
I've been using the Star Chart app from the Play Store for quite some time now to check when the Milky Way is best to see to get good astrophotography shots. Recently, however, the app hangs on the Pixel 4 XL. Anyone have any idea why? Worked perfectly until two weeks ago.
Greeting
