your welcome.. and to be honest, there isnt really much reason to change roms if you dont need to, if your satisfied with the device then leave it be (the theory of, if its not broke then dont fix it applies here) if you think there are things that need to be changed then by all means, read up and do something about it

this person is selling a used 8125
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286560
and the 8525 is $409 with a 2 year agreement (meaning upgrade or new contract) i think you can also flat out purchase the 8125 from cingular for around $250

there is no virus greater than human error i would suggest investing in a back up program such as SPB or Sprite

only if you think you necessarily need the extra space.. i would probably spend some quality time with the phone, and get to know it a little better before changing it.. it will help to you to get a better idea of what you are looking for, maybe you will want some faster, or more storage.. there are a lot of choices out there that will help cater to your needs

Why do you think anyone has it and if they did, why would they want to give it to you with that attitude?
No one has it, you cannot download it. This info is free......of course.
Im sick of hearing people about the 700s now get updates and compaining about. Your phone is old and they are developing a new one for the wm6 to take advantage of new technology.
I wouldn't count on an update for the 700 series. Hopefully we get an update for the 750 series

I know I have a dinosaur and I understand it's a P.O.S most likely but it's what I have for now. I must ask, if no one is willing to make a wm6 ROM for the 700w, do you think by chance they would consider making the LG Today Screen Plug-In work. I'd about give a left nut to have it on my dinosaur.

i'd get a new phone before i gave a nut....that's just overkill.
Lovely... so there are no general WM6/6.1 ROMs that could generically work? Or must they have a certain set of drivers? If this is the case... how close in terms of hardware is the 750?

WM6....yes... not WM6.1... Sheesh...
Haha, yes, but if I were still on WM5, I'm sure any upgrade would feel nice
anybody else think the touch vogue & qvga is going to be making a huge comeback? all i see are threads with people selling their touch pros and diamonds to go back to the vogue. i think it is one of htc's most valued ppc's. also with android running so well on it now i really think alot of users will be coming back.
thoughts?
People want the latest & greatest. I don't even want the Vogue but is what I am stuck with because of the stupid thinking over at Verizon. I don't have a data plan & you can only get the touch Pro if you are on a data plan.
No other handset is as mature in the Android space. It is an amazing OS running well enough for everyday use.
I'm keeping my Vogue until I can get an Android phone.

x2... I'm locked into my Alltel/Verizon? Contract til 2010 but luckily I picked up the last two in-stock Vogues they had for the wifey and me for only $80/ea. I initially regretted my decision but now that Android on the Vogue has matured so much that it can be used for everyday use I'm more than thrilled with the decision. Happy to be Rockin' the Vogue!!!

Same, even though the Vogue has worked out for me. I still would rather have a touch pro, or the touch pro 2 once it comes out.
I'd really like to have the Moto Schole thats coming out after using Android on the Vogue, its a nice OS.

WM is a terrible platform, it doesnt offer anything that android doesnt or at some point wont. Android even runs better on the vogue which was designed for WM. I just dont see why anyone would voluntarily choose WM overandroid. It would be great, if this was 2003.

You can absolutely customize Android. There are apps on the market and tons of downloadable themes. The apps cost a bit of money, and being that we're not really "stable" yet, I haven't bothered to buy them.
And need I point out mssmison's themed builds?

yeah but most of the apps and themes are for "root" only, we can't have that yet.

I believe that was fixed today, although I may be mistaken on exactly what that entails.
Anyway, I tried the free "Lite" version of a couple theming apps a while back, and they worked fine. I forget what the difference between Lite and Full were though.

Dude, what apps are you trying to run that require root? I've seen you post this several times while looking around the forums today. I've never had an app intalled that wouldn't run because I wasn't root.
can one of you guys please port some fully working android versions over to the cdma version of the htc diamond? like for sprint/diam500 users i mean. i have no clue why there is no development going on at all for our devices but we need your help.

connect-utb has several of my donut and xrom images and files necessary to run android on the diamond. i'm not doing very much development these days. especially since i'm running my donut build from nand and can now flash yaffs2 images and have a full recovery screen with selectable menu items and usb tether so my laptop has a working internet connection when in android. also the moto droid or htc passion can wait a little bit longer.

The only way to know is to try one, honestly. Once you can find any in stock, I would just pick one up and give it a test drive, T-mobile gives you 14 days to play with it and return it if you want, no questions asked.
I have a TP2 now, and I'm dying to get my hands on the HD2. But...even with the faster processor and other new goodies, the main decision you're going to have to make is whether you can live without the hardware keyboard. I'll definitley know if I can within the first 2 weeks
Yep, agree with previous poster. If you can live without the physical keyboard, then go for it. Copy/paste and text selection are a lot harder with the virtual keyboards. Also, you can't dual boot in Android with the HD2. I made the switch, and although I'm pretty safisfied with it so far, I still miss the physical keyboard.
You can read more about my switch here:
