sell it... to me... $100
or flash the latest ROMs and try fix all the bugs
that should be entertaining and a great service to the community

Give it to me and get a new phone?
Bit of a strange question. How extraordinary can phones be?
Maybe paint it pink, it would look extraordinary then! Do you like playing games? Get some new games for it.

It is not a gaming device u know, No D-pad or keys... So far im still using the stock ROM, no bugs for me.

I hope it is not a Slingbox/slingplayer case. I would be very happy if there is an all-software solution which utilizes a TV card located on a desktop computer

You can use Orb (www.orb.com)

Get microsoft voice commander, and start having conversations with your phone... (to be fair the conversations are limited to asking it about signal strength, battery levels, date, time and upcoming appointments... but it's fun to see the reaction on peoples faces when you talk to your phone and your phone speaks back to you.
also being able to launch applications and mp3s by speaking is just cool.

That seems quite interesting

Flash your phone with the latest Radio and Dutty's 2.3.
You will be amazed by the speed and added functionality.
Plus, you don't need to get a Touch Pro 2. Dutty's 2.3 utilizes almost the same manila.

Slingbox. Got mine a week or so ago and i'm loving it; definitely will keep you sticking to your HD with that huge screen.

Just wanted to say since I've had my Touch HD I've had countless support from everyone on here, theres too many names to mention, but today, I received my Touch Pro 2 and will be leaving this forum... (only down the road though, 2 doors down I think).
Never been a better set of people working with a device and I thank each and everyone of you, especially the chefs and their support teams, without you my HD would be no where near as good as it is now.
Hopefully you will all be getting a Touch Pro 2 and coming to help me there, but until then, I'll only be in this forum in dribs and drabs helping where I can until I sell my HD.
Au revoir!

NICE... Congrats Pal. I will be seeing you shortly in that section too. I am waiting for T-Mobile to release that device for us here in the US so that we'll have the 3G capabilities .
But Touch HD would still be one of the top devices I have used.
I will chk out your reivew on the TouchPro (Rhodium) section if you have one.

Congrats on your new mobile.
I need a help from you if possible.
Iam also planning to buy a touch pro 2.
But, it will be really helpful for me if you can give me few details about your new phone.
1. Is it having the same yellowish tint as Touch HD screen?
2. Have you tested the out of box video playback ? is it the same as HD or any improvement (I mean some updates video drivers??
3. What about the battery life? (too early i know , but still)
Thanks in advance

Goodluck and congrats on your new device my friend...

have fun, moved thread to blackstone

But why do you leave this beautiful thin device THD and get this ugly fatty TP2?

Nice mate,
i wish you all the best there.
i wanted to get a TP2 but it was not yet released when i flushed my X1 so i got HD.
btw TP2 has a 0.2 inches smaller screen, can u live with that?
for me, i will not get a TP2 unless an external KB is essential.
best of luck

Haha, I know what you mean, but with this device being narrower and a bit fatter, it actually feels better in the hand. Plus I want a hardware KB, this has it where the HD obviously don't. Love both devices, can't fault either.

You don't really notice the difference, whats 0.2"!!! No seriously, you don't notice the difference but the screen does look a lot clearer than the HD for some reason, I thought they were the same. Seems more responsive too.
Has more on front too, nice to have a Start Menu button and a home button as well as the hardware Zoom slider, Front notificaiton light is always nice too

Will let you know these, haven't tested them as yet. Not sure what you mean about the yellowish tint?? Video playback I would imagine is the same as this is driver issue not hardware.
Battery life actually has a monitor on it from last full charge, so will let you know in next few days about that, fully charging it now so tomorrow will be day 1

Congrats on your new device!
Personally i prefer those 0.2" and a 3.5mm jack

Congrats on your TP2!! I'm doing the same once it arrives in the USA 7/22 for T-Mobile 3G!!

Thanks friend.
Waiting for your valuable reply

OMG don't wish to be rude, but you're actually congratulating somebody on buying a cell phone in the same way one would congratulate on the birth of a child. This is nuts!?

I was the same as you to be honest, a little bit pesemistic about the tp2 as I had my Blackstone, I didn't know what could be better, but I needed the hw kb.
To my amazement, the screen is clearer and more responsive, but don't get me wrong, if it wasn't for the hw kb, I wouldn't have changed.
Love both devices, just waiting for HSPL and roms to start flying about

Ok, again, not had chance to check video but will be doing that later today.
Battery.... A nice feature is that when you go into settings--power, there is an information tab at the end, which displays the time you have used it.
So far, my battery has depleated 11% (I'm on 89% left) with factory stock ram and so far I have...
19 hours, 10 minutes standby
41 minutes talktime
44 minutes device usage
Device usage is just when you have the device out of standby, whilst I've been doing this I've installed about 15 programs, set up Tom Tom, used Tom Tom for 10 minutes and also been playing with settings... So far I'm quite impressed.
I've also sent/received 32 text messages.
Hope this helps

Think I'll hold off purchasing any new phones until something comes along and blows my mind away. Unfortunately the TP2 didn't do this for me, but have fun anyhow.
@ nicelad_uk - Best of luck with your new baby. I hope you were well rested beorehand mate

Which Guitar Hero works best on the TP2?

Hey guys, I have the T-Mobile (US) TP2, I want to buy guitar hero for it, but I know that there are some Guitar heros that don't work for the phone, I just want to know which do, and which don't. I'm looking for one to buy.

i took the guitar hero from my friends tmo hd2 and that works great, and is the real thing not like touch the music, which blows

hey now touch the music is still a work in progress which is an alternave to it. but back on track, id say that the guitar hero world tour mobile would be better just cause of the fact that you can play people online unlike gh5.
but if anything i would recommend getting rockband mobile, its alot better and looks better. http://www.rockband.com/games/mobile

Has someone cracked the bootloader now then

It looks like he just updated to android 2.1. Is your friend and employee of sony ericsson?
It's a bad quality video, but thanks for sharing.

guys... cut him some slack for sharing... It's not that the video quality is bad (ok maybe the direction of the movie is bad... First minute of watching I was wondering if it's supposed to make me fall asleep watching the sony ericsson sign, or maybe a ghostly image pops up with a scream so loud, it'd scare the beejeezus outta me)
The movie screen resolution is actually meant to be small, not full screen size of your monitor.
Keep the screen resolution to its original % and you'll see the image just fine =)
But I'm just curious... Is that phone owner a hacker or something?
He should get arrested if he is =X

painful to watch....

Hi Thanx for the movie.
Could you ask to your friend if he could extract the full rom of this device ?
This is wonderfull if we can have those files for all xda's dev !
Maybe i'm wrong ?

Yeah, I think that would help out a lot. Especially once we get custom roms rolling.

Hello,
first of all thank you for this cute sharing!
Can your ask to your friend that made this ROM cooking if he can ensure us that has been able to use multitouch (or dualtouch, it doesn't matter) on the X10 with Android 2.1 ?
Thanks! Hope you let us know as soon as you have more info!!
p.s.: hello abm77!

It's kinda sad, I find this pre-beta/beta ROM more exciting than the actual GM release. I want a stock update with none of the crap SE adds, all that social web malware. If I want any FB, Twitter or what have you stuff on my phone I'll install it myself.
And yes, I know it can be purged somewhat from a rooted phone but you're still stuck with some residual scraps and removing all the extra stuff is annoying and shouldn't have to be done.
I'd almost be willing to pay a symbolic fee to SE if they would provide two updates instead of one when 2.1 rolls out. One officially supported and one vanilla. The vanilla one wouldn't even have to be supported and could be posted with a gigantic warning saying: "WE WILL NOT SUPPORT THIS, IF IT BREAKS IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT!!". Anything to not have to deal with *scape, FB and all that gear.

Hmm... Then I seriously think you should get another phone. X10 is about timescape and mediascape.
Maybe a Nexus One will suit you better?

YOUR WORLD IS EPIC FOR A BEGINNER! You have a wild imagination! & ive finished my 2nd world, its playable but still in construction, im uploading a video right now!

LOL u think how pro u are Not bad, but let's be honest - not the most MLG thing I've ever seen... Awesome anyway, but the screencast quality sucks. Is it possible to increase fps and quality? Really like your work (especially showing me how finaly screencast works on the PLAY).

How long does it take you to make each thing?

How did you record the game?

If anyone is interested I spent 1 year of my life making a 1:1 Scale model of Hogwarts Castle + Diagon Alley in minecraft.
It's fully explorable and works best in 1.7.3 version(but will work with any). It sits 2 blocks from the void and reaches to the sky
More info and download link is hosted on Planetminecraft
http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/rufusw-presents-hogwarts-journey-159776/
I will try and convert it to my Xperia as soon as I'm able to.
Will have to figure out how I'm going to convert it.

Great! ............

Help
Sorry for my ignorance, but it seems that I can’t find the option to go into one of the worlds even after I have put the files in the correct place, so I wanted to know if I have to buy the full version because right now I have the demo still, I admire you patience, dedication and imagination to create all of this!
