Have you guys seen the pre-release models? I love the phone, I think it will be great, but every pre-release model I've seen has been a buggy piece of garbage. Not to be judged considering the software isn't close to complete on those models, but I don't understand why people are paying $1200 on eBay for a phone that's so glitchy.
To be first to have it, to be unique... who knows...
yea i remember when i was very into getting unique phones and i wanted to stand out have something that everybody didn't have
but this was when phones where a lot cheaper in pre-released states
but it's to be unique and different and to have that new thing before everbody does
double post
I think I remember not to long ago when Black93300ZX was bragging about being the first having a certain phone bragging that he paid 900.00 or something for it.
I can't believe it. Black93300ZX is banned again. What did he do this time?

Wow, you dont even want to try to unbrick your phone? I hear you though. Im getting so tired of my wing, and I am about ready for a new phone myself. i just bought a 46 inch sony bravia, so i cant justify spending any more money on a phone, but there is a runor at our office we will be getting our bonus check next week so who knows. anyway, best of luck, and thanks for all the help you have given to me, as well as everyone else. i might have to look into the raphael. im still not impressed with the g1, so not sure what i want.

Yeah, I'll have to look into those. I've been busy and haven't had time to research phones yet, but we did get our bonus, so I might have to buy myself a phone soon! Let me know what you decide to go with. I would love to hear feedback.
ive had a lot of hands on with the GSM model (Fuze) and the Sprint TP both work so i cant describe but i preferrably would go with the Fuze just so i can keep flashing my phone lol but i get a major discount from sprint so most likely ill go with sprint
the Fuze actually mless programs space than the Sprint TP thats easily fixed by rom flash for a clean version
Well after spending approx 500$+ what do we get..???
An awesome hardware with not so awesome OS..!!!
I feel like I am using Windows 95 on my Quad Core Desktop..!!!
We still have no Android Port [I know its not an easy task & I do respect the people who are workin on it], we are not gonna get WM 7 on it..!!!
So finally do you really feel you've got value for your money..???
I am using Iphone too [its 3G not even 3GS], to be frank I find its OS much better than WM 6.5..!!!
The thing is whatever I can to on my LEO I can even do it on my ELF juts has small screen & less graphics..!!!
My friends said "Hey why did you spend so much its almost like your overgrown HTC TOUCH, has nothin that new"..!!!
you know i keep hearing ppl unhappy...tell me, what the hell is wrong with wm6.5! with sense convering the main stuff, everything else is snappy. what on earth is so bad about wm? and yes i have used an iphone and android, and iphone is too simple and boring, android seems good but i dont feel that it offeres much more than apps which i hear isnt that great anyway
so tell me...what are your gripes with it? imo the HD2 rapes everything out there
you just said its crap and havent said what exactly is crap
I feel i have my moneys worth...yes the HTC Sense software can be buggy at times, freezes, crashes, but MOST of the time its pretty darn good!

Just tell 1 thing it can do that any other phone can't..!!!
play playstation games....in fact ill giv you another. endless customisation...eg cookies mod, the new mod that gives you tasks on the home screen...just today i wanted to increase the maximum of 6 joint sms's...managed to do it with a reg edit. and a 4.3 inch screen that no other phone has, theres a third!
Well just havin a big screen don't mean that much bro..!!!

are you running a stock rom? flash a custom rom, and belive me your hd2 will FLY. and sense wont crash, trust me
i think i have...
anything that keeps the missus occupied for a hour allowing me peace and quiet is a damned bargain for me!
having owned HTC devices for about 5 years now, i never get bored with them, mostly down to this community right here... i have you all to blame for many sleepless nights flashing roms, customising themes and general geekiness
to put the whole Iphone/HD2 thing to rest...
when presented with a half-finished product, a man will attempt to solve its problems and get the most out of whats on offer... 99.998% of women allowing for the few dedicated female members here ) would get bored after 5 minutes and give up.
when presented with a product thats all form and little function, a woman goes 'wooo! shiny! all the celebrities have one so i must too!' a man looks at it, thinks "what a pile of chrome plated poo" and will never again set eyes on that product.
as you can see i'm clearly biased, but then im a man and i wont let the laziness of a few microsoft employee's get the better of me
in short, the amount of time my missus and i will share tinkering with the HD2 (without arguing thank god) is easilly worth the money i paid...

ok you are right
HAHA YOU SPENT 500$ on a **** phone! unlucky! andddd im out. peace
Apps
Google Maps and Bing Maps are a joke compared to Google Map on the iphone. That is the one app I miss a lot on my 3gs. They are so freaking slow on the HD2.

Im uk based mate. on t mobile too. got the hd2 for free and 50% off line rental on the friends and family scheme, making it 17.50 a month for 1200 mins unlim txt and unlim internet i was taking the piss cos he doesnt wanna belive that the hd2 is a good phone, so its sad for him to have spent so much on a phone he doesnt even WANT to like. I gave him reasons to like it and he ignored them completely
$500......? I know I didn't even come close to spending that. I spent all of $50 to get mine. So ya I feel I got my moneys worth.
Ok, I don't know if I am going through a buyers remorse but here are my 2c
The phone (Hardware):
One word F**kingawesome (yes, thats a single word...according to me )
Software:
OS:
Has my type of apps that I can tweak and play with...that's a good thing
Stability:
Hangs on me a couple of times a day (my mistake, I keep putting stuff on it and testing apps a LOT) but thats the way I like it...
conclusion:
Awesome phone as it...but
eagerly waiting for the android port (not so much for Win7 though...it doesn't look like a tweaker's OS)

yea no thats ok mate, im just curious how much an ipoo goes for as i seem to develop blind spots in my vision whenever im aware of one being nearby...LOL
17.50 is a blinding deal BTW
Yes, $500 is excellent value.
The fact I got mine free was a bonus, it is an awesome piece of kit.
Mine is rock solid stable, has what I need on it, and tweaked to how I like it.

Hello,
Thanks to all your generosity I have reached my target and was able to order the U8800. It should be with me in the next few days. I look forward to working on bringing you CM7.
Thanks,
Jacob

Hello,
You may have seen me posting in the past couple of days about getting a U8800, and trying to help out a little bit. I work on CyanogenMod and maintain the HTC Wildfire and ZTE Blade builds. I'd really love to work on the U8800, but unfortunately, there is not a lot I can do for the U8800 until I get one for myself. I have tried developing for a device without actually owning it before, and it's something I'd rather not go through again.
As such, I plan to purchase a U8800 as soon as I can, but I'm only 17 and my part time job really doesn't pay me much. It could take me 2-3 months before I have enough to buy one.
I was wondering if any of you would be interested in donating towards a device? I hate to ask, but I really want to help you guys out and it's the only way I can see it realistically happening any time soon. I promise that any money which gets sent to my paypal (link in my signature) will be used solely for a U8800, and I promise that I'll get you a properly working CyanogenMod 7 build as soon as I can once I get the device.
Thanks in advance to anybody who is willing to donate,
Jacob

I wouldn't mind tossing 20 € to you, but might be at the end of this month, as then I get paid.
I hope more people help you out !
Can you update here in the post how much you have left to your goal? Would be nice to see. How much does a U8800 cost in GB?
Can donate $10 to you some time next week
A crisp tenner on the way mate, appreciate anything you can do
Come on fellow owners, we've got to raise 173 GBP: http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/mobile-phones/HUAWEI-U8800/HANDSET, well 163 now

Awesome, much appreciated
I've added a post on the NZ www.geekzone.co.nz forums too as this phone is a big seller over here so hopefully a few kiwi dollars heading your way
Problem with this is I already donated money on the CM website with a not saying it was for Ideos X5 port
So if you can take funds out of that.... otherwise bit expensive for me to donate twice
Just donated 10GBP.
i'd like to give you ￥100 donation,but i'm chinese,we can't use paypal in our country.do you have another way?
Sweet man. $10 (or more accurately £10) is on its way to you. Can't wait for some CM7 lovin' on this mighty wee phone!!
Will an official U8800 device support page be added to the Cyanogen Mod supported devices page?
I'm surprised to know that you are only 17.
Keep the good work going. Just donate 10 GBP to express my appreciation

Whats worse is that there are 2 reviews on it. Im wondering if those 2 people bought it on or off sale?!?
this isnt as good as the one about the xperia phone i posted a few weeks ago that was on best buy for 1,000,000 dollars lol and it was out of stock lol
Companies do this on purpose to make it look like you're saving money. This phone sucks anyways. Single core and no expandable storage.
Please somebody help!
