hi friends
currently i have htc excalibur and my budget is limited and i want to upgrade i have seen htc touch pro second hand
is it a good phone shall i upgrade it please advice me?
Hi there.
You can upgrade to a raphael because it's a good phone and I'm happy with it, BUT
1. Look if the keyboard slides out easily and isn't loose
2. Look for one which has a screen that is not scratched.
I myself bought a second hand TP due to lack of funds and I said to myself that if it has some scratches on the screen it's not a big problem, but I have it for 3 months and still couldn't change the screen.
Be careful what you buy because you might end up sticking with it and even if you buy something second hand, you have the risk that you can't just give it back and ask for a new one.
Overall I'm happy with the phone though.

Folks,
I would like to take this opportunity and confess. I, mostly a silent reader and user of the forum sold my blackberry on ebay few months ago after using Xplodes 6.1 rom. I always liked blue angel due to it's big screen but never could use it trustworthy for my job as I need emails and that too pushed and errorless and effortless. So I was using blackberry for work and BA for fun. Ever since Xplodes 6.1 I sold my bberry and used BA for emails and fun. and saved some money on service providers data charges.
Sad news is I broke my BA today (cable connecting LCD is torn while trying to clean up inside out. stupid me don't ask how and why I did it but a simple part connecting LCD and on slider is torn).
So I may be going back to blackberry or any other Pocket PC Hermes or Tilt which they offer in US.
If you guys have any suggestions let me know. But I would like to take an opportunity to the excellent work done by lot of great Guru's here.
Thank you all
Just bought it
Got Kaiser from ebay for 380 USD. Should be with me in 3 days. I hope I made the right choice. Would miss you all and most importantly my BA.
Hi.
Kaiser has a 2.8" screen and to me...2.8" screens are a totally different experience compared to 3.5". Although, kaiser's screen will be definitely better than ba's...size always matters.
I have also broken my lcd's cable :-/ and now i'm waiting for a new one from ebay.
Have fun with your kaiser
I want cable
I would love to have my BA fixed even if I bought kaiser. I thought you would have to replace LCD as I don't see cable and lcd as different things in BA. Can you please point me where on ebay and for how much you got the cable. If possible please post a link and I would buy it in an a spit.
Yes..you're right. It's not just the cable...i will replace the lcd. I bought it for 42 euro(including shipping) but it's not here yet and i'm not even sure if the lcd is the problem. :-/ (i have a white screen on my blueangel..so i hope it will work with the new lcd)
I can inform you when i get the screen and if everything is ok i'll tell you the seller's name.
I am hoping to live thru members of this bulletin board until my Xperia arrives. I am not expecting to get it until Halloween or just after that unless someone can tell me where I can buy one TODAY !!
I thought that by ordering the Google phone from Tmobile it would take the edge off my gadget addiction, but it didn't. So I listed it on eBay. The one thing I liked most about the phone sucked the battery life right out of it - that was the navigation / compass mode.
Any way .. Can someone tell me in their opinion - for the moment, is the Xperia the best phone / pda on the market ?? What do you like best about the Xperia ?
PS .. I see one on eBay for something over $1,000 - I am trying my hardest to NOT buy it and wait for mine - Besides, this one on eBay is black and I think I am sold on silver.
Selling 1 swedish version
Hello I'm selling 1 swedish Xperia if you are interested please reply. It's new and boxed. Price: 550 euros plus shipping.
Sell me too!
I am 99.999% sure I am getting the Touch Pro, but I always have to look to make sure I am not missing out on anything else out there. The G1 has great potential, but I already know I will be somehow running Android on the Touch Pro soon enough so that is no issue. I am curious though as to what the Xperia has to offer that might make me pause on the Pro. If it's just the look of the interface.... non issue.
I'd get a PDA over the G1 anyday. Biggest reason is Android can be ported to any device if you absolutly want it. So best to get the hardware for it! All the reviews I've seen say the Xperia is faster and more responsive then the Touch pro and that Touch flo can be ported to the Xperia. The only thing the touch pro has on the Xperia is probably the keyboard. I'm waiting for November 3rd to come around. They are supposed to annouce the release date for the US version. I can't wait.
I currently have the Touch (Elf) which I really like. However, I am desparately wanting the Touch HD and wonder if the benefits of upgrading are worth the hundreds and hundreds of dollars. I'm sure everyone will say it is definitely worth it but, let's face it, the THD is not a cheap device. Also, what is the life expectancy of all of these devices?
its expensive, but once you've used one, you'll never go back to what you had before, especially coming from a 2.8''.
I had a 8525 before, and bought the HD as a replacement, but really had a hard time justifying the price in my mind, but after that big beautiful screen and how much improved the experience is, there is no way i could go back to the 8525 or any other qvga device again.
It's worth it and the price is coming down...keep checking the xda marketplace or ebay for used ones!
it is nice, charming and irresistible... if u hav the $$, buy..
I purchased one of these as the housing i had was getting very messy
http://cgi.ebay.ie/FULL-HOUSING-KEYBOARD-HTC-TyTN-II-2-P4550-P-KAISER-/180496072719?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a0667800f
DONT BUY THIS KIT !!!
The item was listed as new but clearly most of the parts were used.
The biggest problem I had was with the front face plate.
There is a few gold "connectors" that have to be melted in the plastic.
I had to break these out of my old case and used a soldering iron to put them into the new faceplate.
There was also the gold screw holes! these were a real pain.
Again they needed to be broken from the old case and then gently heated with the iron until they melted into their respective hole.
Maybe this is what I should have expected but it would have been nice if they said a little fiddling was required for fitting.
The keyboard was also not as the picture is. It was a chinese keyboard so I just used my own.
All in all it worked out well and my phone looks spanking new but its not really a worthwhile mod given the cost and hastle.
I was also planning to buy that housing but had a second thought about the keyboard. my original keyboard is all black and doesnt have the white numpad.
thanx for the advice ! ill try to inquire from other seller.
how about this one?

A few days ago I received the same housing from the same vendor and is all ok. Mounting screw is settled and the exterior is not damaged.
Before ordering I contacted him and sent a picture of my phone. When he confirmed that everything (including keyboard) is identical, I ordered. I got the body and I get happy.
I think you had bad luck
Maybe its bad luck but eBay rules are pretty straight forward.
I was not sold what was listed in the pictured and it was not new (item had marks from use where case slides apart and also scratching.)
The keyboard was not the one in the picutes. I actually have a full black KB but wanted to go with the white panelled one in the pic.
What I got was a chinese all black KB. Useless to me.
Anyway, i got my phone rebuilt and its looks new and works great. It took a little more fiddling than I would have expected and the KB was wrong.
I left Neutral feedback for the vendor because I felt I got what I needed.
codejack:
sorry to say but it is really a bad luck. lets try to be careful with items like that and inquire every detail of the item we will buy. thanks for sharing pal
pozabi:
thanks for the tip. ill try to send a picture of my unit when i buy a full housing so that everything will be clear to the seller

i bough the full housing with keyboard from ebay and the keyboard isn't working. not sure why
The only thing that is keeping me from selling this blackstone is the potential of an android rom and my parents might not let me sell it. I’m 16 and got it 2nd hand but it’s in a fairly good condition.
I’ve searched around and it looks like I can get around £90 for the phone, do any of you want to buy it or know anyone who does? Also I’ve flashed it to an energy rom so if I was to sell it would I have to change it back to original windows rom!
Wish htc built blackstone with android not windows!
This might not help you any, but last night I discovered that NewEgg.com is now offering credit if you trade in electronics. They listed my HD as $144 USD. Considering how much I shop from their site I'm highly tempted!
My poor HD has been sitting in a drawer talking with dust bunnies since I got a Captivate. Must be lonely in there.
