Can anyone guide me and tell me if it's worth upgrading my Omnia to the HD?
I know the processor in the Omnia is faster but there some other things that make it a less atractive phone..
Any input from you guys would be appreciated

the moste importand thing you will notice is the interface. The touch Flow 3D is much more simple and effective than the Omnia widget based interface.
Yes i know but have inmind that i have also the Diamond
I plan to upgrade to the HD if I can sell my Omnia, the Omnia is a great device but the external stylus is just not working for me, even though they are trying to get us all to use thumbs and fingers the stylus is an important part of a PDA for me.....
I'd wait till the phone is actually out and you see what everyday users have to say about it.
I already sold my Omnia after having it for one week only
I know it was stupid of me of rushing to getting it. I should do my research better before i got it.
But I don't regret selling it, from all the reviews, videos I've seen I doubt that the HD will dissapoint me!
It would be worth upgrading just for the fact that the HD is supported by the great XDA forum!!

true. that it the main reason why i didnt get the omnia and decided to wait for the HD.
that is why i buy HTC, because it is supported by a colossal, active, and talented xda-community.
also the omnia has wqvga
to me, i didnt go for Omnia because its dimension is narrow, not good for reading emails or watching video. HTC HD has a more or less 16:9 ration like iPhone which makes sense.

Hey guy, just a lil confused on what new phone to go with.I have a wing that i been using for a year . i'm considering the g1 or htc fuze.
i say the fuze because the flexibility of windows mobile.
the G1 is nice but as for functionality i would go with the fuuze i have not like the functionality on the G1 and it will be too long before i can come up to par with win mo

what he said...i miss my wing and winmo so much
the only thing nice about the g1 is the larger screen, but i would go for the higher res over screen size. i guess the track ball is nice, but not really. capacitive screen sucks, can't play any games where speed and accuracy is a factor.

I'm sorry to hear that! Hahaha, ok just kidding. Actually, I think I would have to go with the Vuze as well.
i had the same problem in upgrading phones. really wanted gps more ram and a faster cpu. i bought an att branded kaiser off of eghey for $230. it is great. the only thing that the wing has over the tilt is that the wing ( or at least mine) was way more stable than the kaiser. I am not saying that everyone will have the same experience with it though. If the wing had more ram i would still be using it.
android in my mind is terrible.
i would have went with the fuze except for a few small gripes
. problems with apps because of vga res.
. battery life
. hard ware buttons
. it is backwards from the wing/kaiser
Now that its been few weeks that i got my HD , im getting bored with it.
Although I used to have XDA and HTC devices in the past, Its really getting boring with HD.
Any cool ideas about making this device extraordinary ? I need new ideas !! thanks

sell it... to me... $100
or flash the latest ROMs and try fix all the bugs
that should be entertaining and a great service to the community
Give it to me and get a new phone?
Bit of a strange question. How extraordinary can phones be?
Maybe paint it pink, it would look extraordinary then! Do you like playing games? Get some new games for it.
It is not a gaming device u know, No D-pad or keys... So far im still using the stock ROM, no bugs for me.

I hope it is not a Slingbox/slingplayer case. I would be very happy if there is an all-software solution which utilizes a TV card located on a desktop computer

You can use Orb (www.orb.com)
Get microsoft voice commander, and start having conversations with your phone... (to be fair the conversations are limited to asking it about signal strength, battery levels, date, time and upcoming appointments... but it's fun to see the reaction on peoples faces when you talk to your phone and your phone speaks back to you.
also being able to launch applications and mp3s by speaking is just cool.

That seems quite interesting
Flash your phone with the latest Radio and Dutty's 2.3.
You will be amazed by the speed and added functionality.
Plus, you don't need to get a Touch Pro 2. Dutty's 2.3 utilizes almost the same manila.

Just wanted to say since I've had my Touch HD I've had countless support from everyone on here, theres too many names to mention, but today, I received my Touch Pro 2 and will be leaving this forum... (only down the road though, 2 doors down I think).
Never been a better set of people working with a device and I thank each and everyone of you, especially the chefs and their support teams, without you my HD would be no where near as good as it is now.
Hopefully you will all be getting a Touch Pro 2 and coming to help me there, but until then, I'll only be in this forum in dribs and drabs helping where I can until I sell my HD.
Au revoir!

NICE... Congrats Pal. I will be seeing you shortly in that section too. I am waiting for T-Mobile to release that device for us here in the US so that we'll have the 3G capabilities .
But Touch HD would still be one of the top devices I have used.
I will chk out your reivew on the TouchPro (Rhodium) section if you have one.
Congrats on your new mobile.
I need a help from you if possible.
Iam also planning to buy a touch pro 2.
But, it will be really helpful for me if you can give me few details about your new phone.
1. Is it having the same yellowish tint as Touch HD screen?
2. Have you tested the out of box video playback ? is it the same as HD or any improvement (I mean some updates video drivers??
3. What about the battery life? (too early i know , but still)
Thanks in advance
Goodluck and congrats on your new device my friend...
have fun, moved thread to blackstone
But why do you leave this beautiful thin device THD and get this ugly fatty TP2?
Nice mate,
i wish you all the best there.
i wanted to get a TP2 but it was not yet released when i flushed my X1 so i got HD.
btw TP2 has a 0.2 inches smaller screen, can u live with that?
for me, i will not get a TP2 unless an external KB is essential.
best of luck

Haha, I know what you mean, but with this device being narrower and a bit fatter, it actually feels better in the hand. Plus I want a hardware KB, this has it where the HD obviously don't. Love both devices, can't fault either.

You don't really notice the difference, whats 0.2"!!! No seriously, you don't notice the difference but the screen does look a lot clearer than the HD for some reason, I thought they were the same. Seems more responsive too.
Has more on front too, nice to have a Start Menu button and a home button as well as the hardware Zoom slider, Front notificaiton light is always nice too

Will let you know these, haven't tested them as yet. Not sure what you mean about the yellowish tint?? Video playback I would imagine is the same as this is driver issue not hardware.
Battery life actually has a monitor on it from last full charge, so will let you know in next few days about that, fully charging it now so tomorrow will be day 1
Congrats on your new device!
Personally i prefer those 0.2" and a 3.5mm jack
Congrats on your TP2!! I'm doing the same once it arrives in the USA 7/22 for T-Mobile 3G!!
Thanks friend.

I was the same as you to be honest, a little bit pesemistic about the tp2 as I had my Blackstone, I didn't know what could be better, but I needed the hw kb.
To my amazement, the screen is clearer and more responsive, but don't get me wrong, if it wasn't for the hw kb, I wouldn't have changed.
Love both devices, just waiting for HSPL and roms to start flying about

Ok, again, not had chance to check video but will be doing that later today.
Battery.... A nice feature is that when you go into settings--power, there is an information tab at the end, which displays the time you have used it.
So far, my battery has depleated 11% (I'm on 89% left) with factory stock ram and so far I have...
19 hours, 10 minutes standby
41 minutes talktime
44 minutes device usage
Device usage is just when you have the device out of standby, whilst I've been doing this I've installed about 15 programs, set up Tom Tom, used Tom Tom for 10 minutes and also been playing with settings... So far I'm quite impressed.
I've also sent/received 32 text messages.
Hope this helps
Think I'll hold off purchasing any new phones until something comes along and blows my mind away. Unfortunately the TP2 didn't do this for me, but have fun anyhow.
@ nicelad_uk - Best of luck with your new baby. I hope you were well rested beorehand mate

My friend you sold your TP2 because the HD2 has the double amount of Ram and double the processor speed. Because it is an revolutionary phone.
It is good news because it indicates that HTC starts to support more and more their devices, and someday maybe you will get an update that will make very very happy. If that happens i don't think that will you complain then.
I write those things with all the respect of course! I didn't want to insult you!

You should tell HTC to stop doing that, so that they never make any updates to the HD2...
The best news in a long time!
That means there will finally be full landscape for Sense!

Hi,
Im just curious what Leo users think of the HD Mini and if they plan to downsize?
Cheers
If i had HTC Mini I would change to Leo..
No way i got my leo for the size and speed, i don't want something less lol
i am a hd one user i would upgrade to hd mini to save money as both hd2 and hd mini will not get wp7 so why spend more money

No way... Honestly, I don't know if I could go back to a device smaller than an HD2. It is absolutely perfect for me. I hope this size is more common in new HTC devices. I would hate to ever have to use one of those tiny ass phones again.
downgrading from the snapdragon will certainly be noticable on the mini. The size may be tempting for some its not for me.
most of us both the HD2 for the big screen so why downsize?
I'm tempted to downsize to a smaller, less powerful, rubbish WM 6.5.x version of the HD2 - sounds like a bargain*
* Not really, what a silly question!!! lol
NO WAY...............................
Only someone out of their friggin mind would do such a lame thing!

+1 I agree
Lmao this should be moved to the LOL section of XDA (we do have such a thing, right??? Please say right)
I was messing with a friends brand new phone (which phone has left me for the time being lol).
But all I could say when using it was 'wow, its so small. How do you live with that screen?'
I'd not change my HD2 for the world.
+1 for me too... i the that the HD2 is the best phone on the market at the present time....
whoa!
Such a resounding No!
Can only mean that the HD2 meets its expectations!
Im keen on the HD2 but still like the dpad and hardware buttons on my Kaiser!
The HD Mini is a cut down version of the Touch HD... Not in the same league as the HD2.
Lol, no way for me XD at least don't cut down processor speed
