Kaiser Anyone?

Wondering how many are going to pay out for the Kaiser and why.
I gots to have my device fix every year, ...I like the thinner Kaiser......but thats really about it..... Getting GPS above and beyond that is NOT going to open my wallet to the tune of $600.
If the Cingular network miraculously has the souped up hsdpa network good to go next year......maybe. If not I'm looking at the Toshiba device....or maybe the Samsung f700 if I can get my hands on it here.
Thanks!

I'm prob going to buy one. I already have someone willing to buy my hermes for the price of the Kaiser as long as I take care of it for them. Bosses wife. I want the GPS, the double in the storage, the thinner size, HSUPA, it is going to have 3.6 HSDPA and I really want the tip up screen. There is also the fact the the keyboard slids out the right side. I like that so that the dial is usable when the kb is pulled out.
Well that is my take on it. I wish the memory was going to 128 but that is prob not going to happen. I will be buying one.

yeah, but really, the hsdpa boost is good to go in other lands I hear....questionable in the US...wasn't aware of the storage boost.......(that we already have here on XDA!).
I want to stay with the Hermes lineage, which 'been good to me'....but startin to look around.
I think the XDA chefs've devalued the next models for sure!

Agree with everything you said, one question though: does the dial location change in the Kaiser? Because if you slide the keyboard to the left, as in the Hermes, the dial is well accessible. I figure if the dial location stays the same it ain't accessible if you slide the keyboard to the right ... am I missing something?

well, in the hermes it's accessible with your left thumb. as far as i understand, in the keiser it will be accessible with the right hand pointing finger...so it's more usable

I'll get one, but only if it supports the 3G frequencies T-mobile US is going to be on.

OK that makes sense, especially when sliding the screen upwards to provide enough space around the jog wheel for the left pointing finger ...

Port HTC HD Stock tab to Diamond

Hi,
Can someone port the STock tab to Diamond? Is it possible?

Doesn't this belong under "Diamond ROM Development"? Good idea, though, although I don't think it's possible... yet anyway

If someone creates a similar tab in functionality, then it belongs here, not in ROM development.

sounds good, hope someone can do it

Sounds good, but if you're from US, you're going to just an arrow going down, like this:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So just put that image as a tab, and you're all set...

Port HD stock tab to Diamond
This is not the place to discuss stock market ....
So can someone port stock tab to Diamond? or is there any resource to link to this request?

It would be a great thing to view my portfolio on this thing without having to log into E*Trade in Opera.
And to add to the stock discussion...stocks are just on sale right now...so calm down!

Seriously, what are you talking about? You obviously have no clue in history, especially, in this case, what the Great Depression (which originated in the USA) did to Europe.
There's nothing wrong with stating the obvious truth. If I made you uncomfortable because you choose to close your eyes instead of seeing the truth, well that's your problem.

This is not a forum for political comments.
BUT since you people started, it is AT LEAST lame to believe that US is what balances the planet. US can very well be what distracts the balance from time to time.

Yes, Hitler rose to power ONLY because of the Depression...
Of course he didn't. Massive oversimplification. It may have helped, but certainly wasn't the only, or probably even the main reason.
Also, yes the US has a massive bearing on the world at the moment, but China and Japan have grown in power massively recently, and with the world not in a state of post-War rebuilding, the situation is totally different.
I too would like a stock tab by the way.

OK everyone settle down. Let's focus. We all want this stock tab.
Currently, I'm writing my own local html files with links to http://stockcharts.com/avantgo/ charts.
I have been using this work-around for almost three years now and I'm really quite sick of it. I myself am willing to contribute monetarily towards porting this stock tab.

Is there no slight possibility HTC will bring it to the Diamond and Raphael in a subsequent ROM release?

sure there is
I expect the sliding dialer too

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 user experience and stuff

Hi all,
today I got a X10 unit (here in Croatia there was a press conference) and X10 come with localized Android 1.6 Cupcake operating system.

I just put battery in side and connect to Internet.
Device is great, solid construction (I also have HTC Legend), it is fast, but without multitouch

Can you, please, confirm the presence of AWS (WDCMA-IV) 1700MHz band support?
BTW Android v1.5 was Cupcake, your X10 is running Donut.
PS: I don't give a flying f*ck about multitouch, it's a classic gimmick with no use for me - I prefer to be able use my phone with one hand instead of having to perform some two-handed gymnastics nonsensical gymnastics, only to gain nothing but lose safety when, say, I'm riding a train or driving a car or walking with my daughter holding her hand.

Tnx for correcting me, so where can I check AWS?
Well, I am playing with X10 for few hours, and I think that the main problem is 1.6 Android, in comparation with Legend (which I have) it is slightly slower. This can be seen in putting widgets.

What you see is the "Donut lag" - it is a common problem among Donut-based devices.
After someone releases a 2.x port it should be gone.

Well, we will sit and wait and I will continue to use my HTC Legend, hope to see upgrade rom from SE on 2.1

I know they will, it's only the question of when...

Retail version review from Stuff Mag:

anyway, they say that SE UI is pretty laggy...

Congratulations on your new device beetleman! Glad to see you went with an excellent choice. Hope you can include some more pictures soon.. Have you tried changing the background at all?

Thanks but I won this device and also HTC Legend, last week (what can I say, best week in my life- HTC Legend was in press conference,and SE Xperia x10 on SE event- I am ICT yournalist and editor in chief of Croatian e-zine about smartphones).
So I am very lucky, but as I said, it is good device, with big potential, so in comparation with Legend, Legend has smoother UI (HTC Sense) and implementation of services, but all thanks to 2.1 Eclair, so we wait update on X10.
Today I got him, so I will play with him a while, so we will se how it goes..
my main concern is TFT screen, because AMOLED screens are much better.

HTC Evo Sprint Packaging Revealed!

Engadget just found a few shots of Sprint's packaging for the HTC Evo. Check it out:

I personally don't see any problem with the packaging. It's the PHONE we're interested in anyways; we're all going to throw the box out fifteen minutes after opening it, in any case. This might not count as groundbreaking news regarding the phone, but every little bit of information we get on the phone before it's released is always nice .

Looks like a huge box, ha ha. It's kind of cool in it's own way in my opinion. I plan on keeping it. At least the phone should be pretty well packaged! Hopefully a lot of goodies come in that thing.

Looks like something you buy a pre made meal in. I'm a little bummed that the contents were a little light but given the price you can't expect many extras.

I think jesus himself needs to deliver it!

I dunno about it coming in a metal case. Surely that would cost a significantly higher amount for Sprint to produce, which would possibly lead to a higher device price.
I'll take my Evo for $200 if all I have to give up is a nice box, please.

The box is ridiculous. I saw it when it hit the net and the box is silly stupid. Not that it matters, it could look like a penis and I would still jump up and down with joy when I got my hands on it It would have been cool to have a minimalist case like the iPhone, htc hero, motorola droid has. Even the bigger box of the incredible, but this box looks humongous. It may not actually be too big, but regardless its an odd shape.

agreed i guess, you have the case around for all of 20min then you chuck it.
I just think it would be cool to get this new advanced phone in a streamlined sleek case. I want the case to look as good as the phone. This one looks like something from 2001

I think the case is meant as a joke. They made this phone sexy in so many ways. I think someone felt that they had to do something wrong, even if it was intentional. So we get our phone in a box that reminds me of 99cent store soup . I can't wait for the phone Like it pains me to wait. I'm scrounging for HTC EVO media like a feral vampire looking for the world's last drop of blood

Another suddly broken back glass

It was fine before putting it on the charger. I know because i was looking at the back and front before. When i took it from the charger suddenly i see a vertical crack from the top to the right center. No force No drop No back pocket nothing like that! Bring it back for repair and see how Sony treats his new Sony Smartphone User. Hope i do no regret abandoning Samsung....:crying::crying::crying:
(S3 not for sale at the moment)

What is the week, your phone was made ?

Week 37

Well, mine too.
Luckilly no cracks so far, but I'm curious if any appear.
On one side, I want to return it, and get a refund, OTOH the phone is everyhing I ever wanted, until a better one comes out.

Exactly my dilemma. I've seen enough reports of cracks to be convinced Sony cheaped out or did something wrong with this phone. But mine hasn't cracked yet and I actually like it a lot (other than terrible low light camera). I'm hesitant to reward companies when they skimp on something and then fail to acknowledge the problems they've created though which is why I'm considering a return even though I like it.
If reports start coming in of Sony fixing the cracks for free under warranty, then I'll be satisfied and keep it, I think.
Sent from my D5803

Mine is week 37 too, have it since 2 weeks went on holiday with it - no issues so far.

As already mentioned, there are already some existing threads regarding this issue, so please use them instead of opening up a new thread.
Thanks
