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
I think most of you guys don't use your herald anymore and I've recently started to get tired of mine(due to i fail at flashing through sd card) so I'm in the market for a new phone. Just wondering if you guys can give some feedback on phones you may recently have bought. I'm on the tmobile network so i was thinking of getting the g1 or new mytouch phone. If you guys have any suggestions or feedback on those phones or any other ones i would appreciate it. I love my wing but I think its time to upgrade.

That's the problem, it is an if at this point. The Touch Pro 2 is already confirmed on the big 4 in the US, it's already released on half of them, and releasing on the other half in the next 60 days. It's the "it" phone this year, and probably well into next year as well. It's definitely my next phone.
IMHO "upgrading" to a new Android device is in all reality "downgrading". What makes WinMo great, the customizations...the programs...the hackability, it hardly exists on Android. Yes yes I know before someone comes in here and goes all custom ROM on me, you can do stuff with it. But Android to me is just another pretty dumbphone OS, *cough* iPhone *cough*.
You took the words right out of my mouth dude.
I've had my Wing for more than 2 years and it's done good for me even though, spec wise, it is a crappy phone lol.
The phone I'm getting next is the Touch Pro 2.
I have both the TP2 and the G1, now, in defense of android, it can be a fun system, but I have several issue with it, speed being the main one. Using a custom rom, and actually installing apps slows the phone to a crawl.. the tp2 is awesome.
I cant wait until i get my Tmobile Touch Pro2. At least my wings will go down using the newest Windows Mobile,lol. Even though i plan to keep mine.
TP2 looks amazing, and I might spring for it when it comes out. Right now I use a G1 with a custom ROM and no complaints about the speed
Uhm, you do know that the TP2 is already out right?

The Touch Pro 2 came out a couple months ago.
Hi all,
First post, but I've been lurking for a bit.
Anyway, I just got my Hero with Sprint about a week ago and am running DamageControl's current ROM. It's a killer phone, but from what I understand the Droid has more processing power. I've got another 3 weeks to give back everything and get free Droids with Verizon.
I know this is a Hero forum, but I wondered if anybody knew of a "benchmarking" resource for all Android phones.....
thanks!
PS You guys are amazing! I can't believe the amount of product that comes out of this board.
as we all know, the hero was obsolete was 6 months before it came out. youll go broke trying to keep up. save up your months with sprint and get the evo when it comes out, you wont regret it ;-)

whats after that? lol
i like the hero and am willing to stick with it until the evo, and as for whatever comes out after that...i dont know. (android, htc, ect) will eventually release their own iPad, im sure, but i guess its a matter of what YOU want. i got a great plan with sprint (54$ for unlmtd everything) with great coverage (detroit it a major city, its bound to be set up good for the 3G user) and a highly customizable phone to say the least (ill admit i was disappointed when i got the hero, learned of the nexus and all the new upncumins) and am excited to move onto the evo, and can wait patiently.
well, idk about patiently...but ill be waiting...

I was able to see the evo up and running the other day.... WOW. Slim and sleek and very fast... took about a 1/3 or less of the time it took the Hero to open stuff. It was running on 2.1 as well and look really similar to Damages 2.1v5 ROM. This handset is going to really help out Sprint. Only thing the one I saw lacking was they hadn't activated the 4g on it yet.

Yeah, after studying competing prices, I don't know that I could stomach what everybody else is charging. I just don't get how anybody is competing with Sprint at this point!
I'm paying $129 -%15 for two lines, 1500 minutes, web, txt, and mobile-to-mobile. ANYBODY else charges $40-80 a month more!
I guess it's good for us they're so desperate for customers
PS I'm curious as to the price of the EVO. Any guesses?

At least until the next android update (Froyo) is out. I believe Froyo is supposed to support 4G natively
haha, yeah it does. they had it on another phone of theirs in the past (winmo). I wonder what video formats will be supported natively. I hope they add .avi support.

I lost my rooted Aria with Froyo 2.2 and all the good stuff on it. What i got as replacement from insurance already has android 2.2.2 installed. Can u imagine how painful it is? i m keeping an eye on this thread and this webpage.. If anybody has any other news or any means by which i could get rid of at&t bloatware and to be able to install 3rd party apps, i would greatly appreciate that..
Well you can follow this link they have found a way to install 3rd party apps on unrooted phones. hope it helps till the s-off comes our way.
When did you get your replacement Aria? I thought AT&T's insurance replacement had been bumped to the Captivate.
If my aria becomes unusable, will the captivate be the replacement?
I just ordered a replacement aria from asurian. should be coming in the mail soon. they told me it would be a refurb aria, but I can hope it will end up being a captivate. doubtful...
@ E.Cdro: thanks a lot, i will look at it.. something is better than nothing
I just got my phone 4 days ago from asurion. yes it is a refurb aria.. i dont think they r giving away captivate for aria yet..

Haven't had the chance to get to radio shack. I did call them up and asked them to hold one for me. Even though my new Aria is on 2.2.2 and I am stuck with an un-rooted sense, it's less painful being able to use the trick to allow installing apps from unknown sources, so I still have some decisions to make---be cheap and go for the amazing deal of the $29 Inspire--or future-proof myself and wait for the SGS II.

That thing blows the iphone 4 away as far as specs go. Its screen is an inch bigger than the ip4, twice as much ram, and a dual core faster processor. And a much better camera. Sounds more like this phone is going to be direct competition to the sgs2 and iphone5.
Sent from my cm7 Aria.
This happened to me too I'm so sad. The microphone on my old aria decided to crap out and now I'm stuck with a refurb 2.2.2 aria. I hope someone can figure this out soon...
I guess I'm one of the lucky ones as far as warranty goes. After having WM phones for a few years I got my Aria in Feb. Actually wanted a 4" phone but decided to get this (happy now that I did) and wait to see what comes out. Almost 30 days to the day I noticed that the antenna on the back cover was coming loose on one of the corners. This is after I was already rooted and flashed a couple different roms! So, I'm thinking the chances of getting a replacement back cover are slim to none and I'm going to end up with a phone that can't be rooted or have to live with possible antenna issues. I call AT&T, they have someone call me. After a couple phone conversations and an email update I get a new back cover in the mail a week later. Amazing!!! Maybe the fact that I've been with AT&T about 12 years helped!
So I came across this vid on youtube and was wondering what you guys this. I think this guy is a big a$$ d bag and just trying to get people to sign up for his ****.
He has another one up on youtube where he puts his EVO ESN on the iphone via an app and said he activated it on Sprint. I know you can just change that carrier name if you jailbreak it pretty easy, but when he dials *2 that gets you thinking a little bit.
I'll try and find that other vid and post that.
I think its a load of ****, but just maybe it's possible.
Here's the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXx6kLsVs1w
Edit...found the other vid where he changes the ESN supposedly.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Przbw2iJnA&feature=related
I've seen those videos too. It really makes you wonder when he dials *2. I wish I had the extra cash to buy an iPhone 4 and try it.

Yeah def same here.
I was thinking to save money can't we just get a verizon iphone 4 with a bad esn?
I call bs.*2 could be what he named Sprints cs #
Sent from the Evo
Basically he's cloned the esn number off of the sprint phone, though 'technically' illeggal, still cool. Though under the same principle youd do it with almost any phone if you know how to chnage its particular esn number.
Wasn't the ESN change the idea people had back in the early Evo days to try to get their Evo on Verizon? I think one or two people around here claimed they did it, acted all smug. Then they probably got their first bill and realized they weren't so smart after all.
so does anyone happen to have access to a verizon iphone that would be willing to try this?
I believe this is legit, some guys a local phone store near me claim they can do this and it works. I dont have an iphone myself but its very possible to clone an esn and get this working. It shouldnt matter if the verizon esn is bad because you would be taking it from your current phone.
