ahh...yeah HTC devices are fun but if you do decide to part with one just let me know in a PM, thanks.

Why not just wait for the G1? It's, in all ways?, better than the Herald. Plus a cheap Wing is maybe... 150? Why not just get a G1 for 180 with contract?... unless you're like in the middle of a contract?

Except OS.

What do you mean except the OS? That's the main reason why we all want the G1? Because it's made with Google Android.
Is that what you meant? That the Wing has a better OS than the G1?

I need it for hacking, I don't have any OMAP based HTC's yet, so G1 will not do for this purpose.
(one day I'll get the G1 or similar android HTC, I'm sure)

got one, thanks wlinsong!

Sprint Touch still available?

On the website it is no longer there. So what i want to know is are they completely done with the phone? Cuz when I had a KRZR and broke it, my protection plan allowed me a new one, but they discontinued it and gave me a new Razor. So i was hoping i can "break" my current touch and maybe get a diamond cuz they aren't selling vogues anymore. Anyone know?

Considering the differences in the Razr and Krzr, compared to the Touch and Diamond, they could also give you something else, like a Mogul.

Ooooooooops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol, havent tried yet. i am afraid to break my phone. lmao.

ok, called up and they said they will replace with another touch. however when i called an indivdual store, they said they no longer sell the touch. so i am gonna go to that store one of these days and see what they say.

If you need one... I can sell you mine.
it has the official sprint WM6.1 REV A rom on it.
its used for a month. literally and comes with extra battery and I have a collection of over half a gig of software (thanks to xda-developers and all the folks involved with the software development) that I'll include.
Im located in MD.
thanks

ur selling a diamond?

:/ my phone's power button recently got really squishy, think i should go send it in for a new one? i got it in may so i think it is still in warranty plus i got insurance on it i believe, isnt all i need to do if i send it in is reflash it to stock and lock it before i do?

my whole post is about getting a diamond for free from sprint.

well they have thousands of refurbished touches. and if you claim insurance, they will send you a refurb.

I think we all 'get it,' but the chances are that you will NOT receive a diamond in exchange for your touch. As was pointed out, the insurance companies most likely have thousands of refurbished vogues and you would most likely get one of these and not a diamond.

exactly... they are smart... they want to push all the vogues out as well- think about that.

ok, i have understood that since i made that post a week ago. why are people continuing with the post?

even if they dont sell the phone, they still have reconditioned ones in a depot, i have seen people come in with CDM 120's and they send the same model, esp on the phone like the touch, they send all the old phones back and refurb it most of the time its just and LCD or reflashing the phone
so as long as its economical for them to refurbish the phone they will

Thinking of ditching the Dream for a Magic...

Just wondered if anyone has both and could advise whether it was worth it or not. I'm leaning towards getting a Magic becuase apparently it's thinner (not by much) and lighter and I don't really use the keyboard. I really miss the form factor of the 2G iPhone I had. Rooting and flashing ROMs does sound a little more complicated. Thoughts?
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, it seemed like the most appropriate.

Considering that the only *real* difference is the keyboard, hang onto what you've got -- its better, especially for the odd time when you *do* want to use the keyboard. For me, I would never even consider a phone without a real keyboard.

I had a G1 up to Middle of June When I got my Google Ion. Never looked back. I don't think nOW that rooting is particularly more difficult than it is on G1. I waited til a decent stable Recovery image arrived - I'm using this recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492&highlight=Recovery
Which gives you the opportunity to try it out from Fastboot first, but then wasn't too difficult to flash (Although I did have adb and fastboot on my PC)
Then i installed This Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523971&highlight=Recovery NkO2's Ion Rom just by adding the file to SD and renaming to Update.zip.
There is MUCH more space for apps (295mb compared to around 75mb on G1) and I think its on the whole a much better handset if you don't need the hard keyboard.

Going by this article I'm pretty much sold on the magic. The main reason being the magic is 40 grams lighter, at the cost of a keyboard I never use. Thanks to both of you for your replies

Before you buy an HTC Magic, make sure you get the rogers version which has the 288mb ram.. if not, its not worth getting it...
i had teh g1 from when it came out up until 2 weeks ago and im now using a magic however i will be dicthing the magic to go for an htc hero

Ideally I'd like to trade with someone for a magic (a couple of people did trade earlier, I was too late to the thread >.>) just as long as it's rootable, I'm not fussed.

Yeah, I think it's a pretty fair trade tbh, it its the 192mb version. I just need to find a magic user who needs a keyboard

LOL To say its not worth getting if its not Rogers is B*****ks, mate. As I understand it, the software on the Rogers REQUIRES more RAM, and the versions with 192 RaM are still streets ahead of the G1. The hassles you would have to go through to unlock and debrand a Rogers handset (IF you can get hold of one outside of canada - Big IF) would also be a pain in the caboose.

obviously we live for big pains in our cabooses, we flash hacked roms daily, this is where we get our crack and the devs are our dealers
point of the rogers magic is not the bogged factory rom, its for smooth hero port

G1's

Anyone have any extra G1's that they are trying to get rid of? I will take them all.. PM me.

Is this for a cool project or something? Are you looking to buy used ones or for donations?

He offered me $80-100, and my G1 is in good condition. I imagine his B.S. "project" is turning around and selling them on eBay for double.

First of all, you choose to sell me the G1 you are not being FORCE to do so.
Second of all, my "project" is for me, nothing to gain profit.
I don't even HAVE a ebay account nor have I ever sold anything online. So don't go around posting "B.S" rumors.
$80-100 seems reasonable maybe to me at least seeing as I got my first G1 for free, mytouch is coming out, the G1's on t-mobile got cheap, and are going to get cheaper once the mytouch comes out. So you can keep your negative comments to yourself kid, and if you don't want to help, or sell,give, etc your G1 stay away from my topic, or I will bring a moderator..

New HD2 On its way :-)

Hey All
Just ordered myself a HD2 off of Ebay. Paid $750aud inc shipping. Finally decided to retire my slow old Xperia X1, will prob just keep using it to test new rom's that come out....
Now I have a few questions. Are they're any special tweaks or cabs to install to make it better? What case's are people mainly using with the HD2? Any general problems or things I should know?
Thanks everyone

I think that is very personal.
I am using cookie tab now and it is very good for what i like about a phone. Just look around this forum and read, try and experience !
It`s very nice to try tweaks especially if they are in a cab. If you don`t like it, just uninstall. If anything is not good the folks here will help you set thing right again.
Its a great forum for a great phone
kk

You will not be disappointed... I was worried about the lack of keyboard when I made the change from the X1 to the HD2 and I can tell you its not a problem... for tweaks a must is BSB Tweaks (found on here in a sticky I think), has loads of tweaks that are very handy... there is also a thread on things to do with your HD2 when you get it... some of them are covered by bsb others not so much all handy... I have not yet had a problem with my HD2 but some do... again there are loads of threads about this problem or that... so far (touches wood as probably just jinxed myself) its been all gravy...

I reckon you should stay with the oem rom for at least a week and research this forum. customising your hd2 is a very personal thing, what suits one will not suit another. there's a thread which people post there must have apps, I would try there first. that's my opinion

It is interesting to see how fast the pricing of the Leo drops from 820AUD at the end of Jan to 750AUD now.
But anyway I recommand you to test your device for few days before doing some flashing or customising to see if there is any hardware issues
If I were you I would install several tweak softwares like BSB and HD2Tweak.
just to cover all the available reg tweaks
Just my tiny bit of advice
The Leo should amaze you lol
Cheers

hi guys, i want to ask~
is AU's telstra version hd2 using exactly the same frequencies with US's T MOBILE versions?
thank you.
im not sure if AU's version can use China's WCDMA frequencies.

Ebay
I just hope you get it. I ordered a phone via ebay before and got burnt along with many others, had a good rep etc. Anyway Ebay are basically useless in terms of assisting to get any $ back.
Other than that you'll love it, its a great phone and very customizable.

Its not true. Paypal buyer protection is very good. They always return my money when they should. And the seller must prove that you got the parcel.

Yer I was planning on staying on the stock rom for a bit....funny I used to flash my xperia to be like a stock HTC phone, so yer the stock rom should keep me happy for a few weeks...
Yer I was a bit skeptical about having only an onscreen keyboard, one of the things I loved about the xperia was the HW keyboard
Cant wait till it arrives, it looks like an amazing phone

As far as has been put out by Microsoft we won't see any WP7 phones till holiday time, i.e end of year. That's a mighty long time to wait.

I had asked HTC on twitter when the new win7 phones will be coming out since I was interested in the hd2, they told me that the first phones will be for sale in Q4,
Right now i dont know exactly what to do. But ill give it a chance and hope for an update. So ill be getting the HD2 tonight.
I bought an xperia last year in feb and was really dissapointed when there werent any new official panels, thnx to XDA I pimped my phone a little bit. But now when I recieve my new phone tonight, ill give my old Xperia to my mother who needs a new phone

Unfortunately not in my case and with 32 other people. Thats how many people this guy stung. Through letters from all victims, QLD police investigated, and the guy was tracked down and currently behind bars, this was the update from the police however still no money despite chasing for it.
