hey man
can we see the new awesome black 8125 !!! i have been waiting !!!!

Been waiting here too!

Does that mean it didn't work? Maybe he forgot to mask off the screen. The keyboard buttons might not move either. Would be neat to see a black one though.

I am also curious as to how a black one will look....

He might have got caught up trick-or-treating!!

You should post pics with maybe a little How-To guide on how you did it and what kind of paint you used.

i actually got caught up with work.
i will be uploading the pics to my server tonight sorry for the delay .
ill post a how two as sooon as i paint my 2nd 8125 im gonna go white on the 2nd.
comes out clean i used hobby enamel paint , primer , and clear .

and yeah everything works 100 percent no lose parts / objects everything works like new.

well hell, i will be the first to vote for a "how-to"!! i have been interested in doing something like this for a bit but havent had the time. thats great to see that you had success with the project.
i need to get ahold of another facia (cause mine has a few battle wounds from them drunken nights) for my 8125 then id be totally down to give it a go. if you do a walk thru, make sure to note which kind of paints you use and such... and if anyone knows where to get a brand new facia, lemme know.
wErSa

i like it. excellent work digitalmediaworkz. i agree with wErSa that a lil howto is a good idea + im too looking for new casing since mine althou not even a month old already has some scratches n paint chipped off.

looks good...i think white would look awesome. i would like to see pic once you're done with white.
why didn't you paint the keys?

for those interested in a new facia (casing) i found this site. they have them available for $79 (for the 8125.. didnt check other phones).
if anyone knows of any other places to find em for cheaper, speak up!!!
wErSa

thanks for the responses I kinda did it with a rush since I was anxious to see if it was gonna power up I will be respraying it including the main keyboard trim by the beginning of next week.
might do white or gold base with candy red I come from the custom car paint scene so I got a couple ideas.

some more...

Ebay man. I just sold mine also (I to bought an iphone, need that 3G, bunch of apps and awsome touchscreen) It just sold today on ebay for $700. Not bad for a used HD.

doesn't ebay take part of your money?

bump...
..........

price? I already pm you.

Changing to Iphone? thats baaaad. three of my friends bought iphone, 2 got rid of it under 14days for free return and bought htc tytn2 and Diamond. Third one didnt because he paid so high price that he has to stay with it.
Good luck and have fun with your apple.
edit: remember, if you read apple forums never believe what they say. I would give you URL but it is in Finnish so useless. Funny to read those apple people: "My keyboard is badly made, battery doesnt work good anymore, bad screen, but other than that I like it. it is good for me."

ive used an iphone before.. ive never had a problem with it.. its so much better now with all the apps. tons of people have it.. theirs no issue. their are problems with all the phones.
no phone is perfect and not every phone is perfect for everyone.
thats all that has to be said.

I like the black rubber case... where'd you get it?

not sure where.. go to the accessories page in this forum and look it up

bumppp......

pm me your minimum price w/shipping. I'm in NV...

Have you sold it yet?? I'm interested

hey man goodluck with your sales. I'm starting to think if I should let my go too. I miss functional keys for text and is currently thinking about saving for the n97. Same size screen plus a keyboard. Hard decision to make. Also thought about the X1 as well. You stuck on getting the iphone 3g for sure? Why not consider unlocked phones with the US 3G band, that way you can get 3G data for less.

i-mate JASJAM on eBay for AU $125

Hey all I just nabbed an i-mate JASJAM (Hermes) on eBay for AU $120 ($5.50 postage) to go along with/replace my Magician, the only defect is a non-functioning earpiece speaker, which I can most likely fix easily.
I've been missing a hardware keyboard for a pretty long time, I was considering modding my Magician to have a slide out QWERTY thumbboard.
I've had my Magician for a year or 2, I love it, bought a pink housing for it and upgraded it to Cotulla's WM6.1 and it's like a new phone It was originally given to me by my ex-girlfriend's mum when she got a new phone. She had never used it for anything but calls and txt, which I was appaled at lol
So did I get a good deal?

You didn't get a bargain, but as long as you can repair that ear piece you got a good price.
I paid $100 +postage 6 months ago for a JasJam via ebay, but I was picky and let about 20 go for a higher price before I finally got one.
This is my 2nd JasJam - first is still mine and had a white screen issue which I've fixed, this 2nd is now my wife's and is in far better condition than my 2.5 year old JasJam.
I love the keyboard and Windows Mobile too, so mine gets used heavily
Cheers + welcome!

Earpiece speaker should not be a problem. Most often it's just the spring contacts not touching the board or a bit of oxidisation on the contacts. Just sometimes the speaker is faulty, in which case there is a motorola one that fits almost perfectly and is easier to find than the original. (pretty cheap too)
As for it being a bargain - well count yourself lucky if it's one that has no alignment and white screen problems, they are awkward if not impossible in some cases to deal with.
Mike

Well at least I didn't get ripped off like I would have been if I got one of the $200+ ones
@mikechannon Should be an easy task, had my Magician apart countless times to try out mods, change housings, tighten the stylus holder etc.
@Ogier I love WinMo too, it's so useful I can't stand using a phone with a closed FW for too long. It just annoys me not having a decent file manager etc.

Why you chose HTC Touch Diamond 2?

Hello everyone,
There are many phones in the market now. There are some cheap once also.
I have spend roughly 600 USD to buy this piece.
The reason i brought this phone, i was fed up of [email protected] the previous phone i had just fell apart with in first 6 months of usage...i had paid almost eqal amount for a phone.
I was looking for smothing sturdy, easy to use and versatile phone. After 2 months of usage i think i am happy with it.
I would be happy if you all also share your experience.
Regards,
Geo

I bought mine because my BA is 5 years old, and I didn't have much to spend on a phone, so I ended up getting the TD2 on att because it was cheaper than any unlocked phone.

I got mine because the design of the topaz is so nice to hold on to , perfect size in term of a cell phone, plus the window mobile allow so much mod and tweak plus apps to the system, just like a pc, thats why I choose a wm phone. iphones are for dump people that they think it looks cool but dont know anything about os tweak and command lines but just know how to touch those little square buttons. wm are for professionals.

I've made a thread like this already, please use search..

HTC gain has a loyal and delighted customer
I bought my Topaz after several months using my Touch Cruise.
Its only problem is its steel carcase. Accidentally, I dropped my topaz and now the phone has very nasty scratches on one of its side. Lesson learned: Buy a silicone case to protect it!
By the way... I became such a happy customer because of XDA-Developers. I tested almost all the Roms posted there!!!

Agree with all of that. Had to be HTC for build quality and support (here though, not from HTC), had to be WM for sheer power and registry hackability, and the Topaz was the perfect size vs screen size compromise for me. And it looks cool, to my 1970's tastes at least

I don't think the iPhone comes anywhere near, in OS terms at least. Hardware's quite nice though...
Topaz
previously
Artemis (still used)
Wizard (battery failed)
Some Nokia crap...

Hero features before buying

Hi, I've decided that I really want an Android phone and if I have a choice between the Tattoo and Hero, I've gotta get the Hero for about 40 bucks more after unlocking, but I have a few questions before buying. First and foremost, is the GPS in the Hero spot-on? I read that the Tattoo had a hard time finding your location, and when it did it was about a mile off anyway, so it was pointless for driving. Second, does anyone know when the Enclair update to Hero may be? I was just wondering about that, if anyone on the inside may have leaked it here.

First: the GPS has been working great for me so far.
Second: We don't know for sure but from some sources, it's coming soon. Soon could be anything, really, but the fact that an early build exists means HTC is definitely working on it.
Also, I'll say go for the Hero since you get a better screen. The Tattoo has a 320x240 resistive screen, which means scratches, and the Hero has a 480x320 screen which is not only higher resolution, but is also capacitive, with a glass surface that's extremely scratch resistant.

Thanks for the reply, the only think I like about the Tattoo over the Hero is the faceplates, I made some *****en plates on their site. Yeah, *****en.

Yeah, but Hero has the *****en design. ;D
You should see how girls suddenly started talking to me since I got mine. ;D
"oh wow what's that phone? *squeal*"

the hero takes the piss owta the tatoo, in terms of design and use also the gps on the hero is awsome, i use copilot live and it only takes seconds to get a gps fix even indoors, on my HD using tomtom it takes about 2-3 minutes even when im outside lol

lol. FML, I ended up having to pay bills with my extra money, anyone know where I can get a cheap Hero? I know, contradiction, but even a locked one? Some people just end up selling their locked phones because they don't like them, I can unlock them myself. I can get a cheap ass one from here but the fact that the website was started several weeks ago by a free host, no fn way. The only ones I can find on eBay that go for less than 500 bucks that are even new are Sprint...and I really want the Chin, must be the Bruce Campbell fan in me. Oh, and can the Hero do this...
