Topaz versions - Touch Diamond2, Pure General

Hi all.
I'm going to buy Topaz, however still I can't find out if there were designed two version of Topaz. Some shops claims that their Diamonds 2 devices are sold with 3 Mpix camera, others say they got 5 Mpix. Is it true? Are there two versions of this device? Are there any additional hardware differences?
edit: I know, that some operators are selling brand devices with their logos. What I'm asking of is to point two devices that looks identically, but they've got other hardware.
Thx in advance

a chineese knock off nigel! often these handsets are ALOT cheaper than the genuine touch diamond 2. Remember, if it hasnt got 5mp camera, gps and is alot cheaper, then stay well clear!

Yes, and that's why it catagorized as "3 mpx and up". (5 is more than 3 btw)
It may not be fake, but it looks like a scam.
- No original picture (stock picture from web)
- "Too good to be true" price
- Copied spec from sales literature
- Inaccurate box contents description (Topaz comes with one battery, and would only include two if it was opened)
- Seller has many low price transactions
- Previous buyer was a new account, linked with phones (often used to add legitimacy, buy phone from second account and re-sale.
Against that though are that there is only one unit for sale. If they had 7 or 8, I'd be more skeptical.
I could well be wrong.
it is very obvious that this is chinese clone

A "very nice" WinMo clone, if specs are correct: a WVGA Screen With 3G/HDSPA(On the ebay auction)
I've never saw something like that on a chinese clone, I think they are wrong about this specs, only the Marvell PXA310 624MHz, I know it is true because I already saw a chinese WinMo one with this processor live, but no 3G neither WVGA screen.
My wife bought a TD2 Asian clone for some ridiculously low price on eBay.
Phone seems to work just fine, no touch flo interface so she's restricted to WM 6.1 at present.
Being a complete noob to all things mobile I was wondering if this phone could be flashed with a cooked rom, and if so, are there any benefits to doing so?

The Hard SPL from this forum will not unlock your device.
You would have to write your own unlocker or possible pay someone here to do it as it is a one off....
As far as advantages, phone will be quicker and more responsive because you eliminate all of the carriers bloatware, plus custom ROMs are tweaked for better performance.

Should I sell my HD2 and buy a N900?

I really like the design and specs of the HD2, but Windows Mobile makes it very buggy and unreliable :/ Since the new ROM-update didn't fix the sms-problem I need to return my HD2 and buy a new working phone, that can send smses without problems. Does anyone have any experience with the N900 and any cons/pros vs the HD2?

Thanks mate =)
I'm also looking forward to your comparison
Is the resistive touchscreen a no go? I'm not sure, but everybody says that capacitive touchscreens are much much better.
I got my HD2 form eXpansys but I'll send it back. It's so buggy and my battery is the worst. I only lasts about 6 to 8 hours, and that's when I'm at work. So I'm doingt pretty much nothing with it...
N900 screen is nice, since you have the option of using a stylus or finger. Some Flash sites have smaller icons, so the stylus function is nice. This also comes handy for mouse function in Flash games.
I have about 200 Flash games saved to my N900 and launch through the file manager. A LOT of Flash games play very well launching them this way.
Resistive screen requiring a stylus? No multi-touch or pinch zoom support? A 3.5" screen instead of 4.3"? 600mhz processor instead of 1ghz?
No thanks, I'll stick to my HD2 if that's ok and I suggest you do the same.

It's a resistive screen so while your finger might work if you press it a certain way (I can get my three year old O2 Orbit to work with my finger too), it's designed to be used with a stylus and comes with all the limitations that implies.
I got the chance to play around with the N900 for a few minutes, I don't regret getting the HD2.
Didn't like the OS, not that WM is any better, but HTC did an excellent job with Sense UI.

ONLY if you prefer resistive screens.
Maemo is certainly not better than Windows Mobile at all and has its own shortcomings, just like any mobile OS.

Kasperknop,
If you really want to know what the Nokia is like why don't you post on a Nokia forum? You will get more opinions there from those that have used/owned the device but perhaps no less bias than you would get on here.
To be honest, if you are that keen then I would walk into a phone shop and handle a real one. It is the only way to work out whether you can live with a device or not.
Hope this helps.

Just this minute got email, my N900 has shipped! I'll post up thoughts when its in my hands, I have no particular bias for either Nokia or HTC...
nokia 900
If you can live with an small screen is fine, according to me the screen of the nokia 900 is exactly the same size of the N97.
I have one N97 is fine for many things but for webrawsing is a pain in the neck http://www.symbiansoftware.us/bin/ci/o/11631.jpg

i was going to go for the n900 but the tech specs put me off compared to hd2, then i found outs resistive with no multi touch, a complete joke, nokia are way behind and the device itself is huge compared to the hd2,
i have my HD2 since last friday trough insurance of my old dead Xperia X1, going to test the N900 next wednesday at a friends phone shop
will compare it couse im thinking about switching as well, ill post my findings
check out gsmarena.com they have a long review on the n900 seems good but does have limitations like no voice dialing which may not be a big thing for most people but more importantly no mms ability as a result of maemo not supporting it

[Q] Thinking on buying a HTC HD2

Hey guys, since the HD2 is like the most developed phone ever, I'm thinking on buying it. Do you think is worth the the hardware? Are there any usual problems? is it easy to install ROMs on the device ( I really didn't install any ROM on any device, but I'll probably do it on a kaiser later) ?
Thanks for the help,
mfsr98
P.S. I have the original Touch HD, but it really sucks, and this device can take pretty much everything
depends on what u need for spec ,but if you want a phone that stops starts and goes lol the, it will be ok its easy to put a rom on it long as you read and understand the guides out there for a old phone its stil got a lot of fans ,

thanks for the answer. How much touches can the HD2 hold at once?
I still can't get why the device is still so expensive, since is old for MOST.

Probly cause it has the specs of a MT4G 4.3" screen eryone loves a big screen. good camera and more development than the space industry and can run meego < even though its not used much > ubuntu windows 98 , android all the way up to 4.0.4 ICS win phone 7 win 6.5 I mean this phone does it all!! You can find these on craigslist for 125-150 nowadays and you get alot of device for the money !!
isn't Craigslist something from America? Cause I live in Portugal

On eBay you can get mint condition (almost new) hd2s (phone only) for around 190 usd (buy it now price). More used ones (Inc. Accessories) and carrier locked for less, down to around 110 usd, which is usu the max prices of broken ones. It's a good price considering the repair fees total around that much and you are buying the only phone that can dual boot wp7 and android.

1 of my best smartphone till now.
but it has 1 deficit and that is it's battery, otherwise i call it's a PUMA.
Indeed there's a lot of custom ROM, oh don't talk about them just imagine the great chef's ROM for HD2 and their tweaks ....
Hey guys, I know this thread is a bit old, but like this I don't do a new one.
So, it was me who started this thread and I'm still thinking on buying one of these, but I got questions about the screen:
-I still didn't understand if the screen is resistive or capacitive...
-Does the screen use pressure like in a resistive one, or does it work like a capacitive screen?
-Does it have a good definition?
And one more question, not about the screen:
-should I buy the T-mobile version just because of the specs? I see it has a lot of problems, and if it does, I would buy the international version with no doubt!
Thanks in advance,
mfsr98
T-Mobile has no more problems from a hardware perspective over the international version.
Main issue with T-Mobile (TMOUS) is idiots flashing a .51 radio & can't really blame the phone for that ...
Digi is capacitive ... Buying with care & at reasonable low cost still makes it a worth while buy, buy badly & you will have a nice desk paper-weight. Many for sale are badly repaired or have mainboard/nand/digi issues ...

-Does it have a good definition?
Images are sharp, colours are poor and performs terribly in direct sunlight
And one more question, not about the screen:
-should I buy the T-mobile version just because of the specs? I see it has a lot of problems, and if it does, I would buy the international version with no doubt!
Buy either, the TMOUS basically has more internal storage and is slightly taller than the EU one.

Answered in red. Also in response to one of your much older questions, the screen only supports 2 points, and it isn't particularly good at doing even that.
I have this phone for while, and i had only one problem. One day, screen just doesn't responded to my touches. So, i had to change sensor. But still its best smartphone that I had
Sorry for bad English.

Got mine from company I work for ...
in terms of screen colours I think they are quite good, Samsungs look awful to me though so each to his/her own.
direct sunlight visibility is poor but so are most.
Good phone but if intending to use Android only plenty of better hardware & stronger hardware devices available for a little more cost ...
Thank you everybody for the answers. Being capacitive does it mean it's not pressure activated, just like, for example, you touch it with less force possible and it selects ? (like the sll)
yes, thats what capacitive means, , not pressure. The screen is glass, you'd put your finger through it if you tried a pressure press. (well you wouldnt, cos its pretty tough, but u get the idea)

Help!! Leeco lemax 3

Got my hands on the unreleased lemax 3 (don't ask how) but the eui sucks and the phone has too many bugs, I just wanted to know that is there any rom in which I could use it
PICS AND SCREENSHOT:-https://imgur.com/gallery/c8RiH
Specs :- sd 821, 13mp dual cam nd 16 front, 6gb ram 64 gb storage, 2k display
You got that phone...? How?! It's unreleased! Please give me detailed specifications of the device. If not here, then PM me.
Also, as for the answer to your question, you won't find any ROMs for that device right now cause.. well, it's unreleased
Well i was just thinking that I can install the rom of lemax 2 or pro 3,
as for the device I got it from a company worker as u can see in the pics it has some serial no printed in the whole phone
It's specs are :- 2560*1440 resolution 5.7 inch screen, Android 60.1, snapdragon 821 with 6 gb ram 64 gb storage, 4000 mah battery 13 mp dual cam secondary is black and white cam front 16mp.
How will you install the ROM? Since it's unreleased, there's no recovery. Moving on, you can try installing a ROM from the Le Pro 3 forums, but it'll surely be extremely unstable and buggy. Probably even more so than your EUI. Still, if you're determined.. try this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/development/rom-paranoid-android-t3635168
And finally, I had been planning to buy a Le Pro 3 this Christmas, but now if the Le Max 3 is coming.. Do you know when will the phone release and what will be the expected price??
Lastly, if I helped you in any way, please press my thanks button. It slightly helps
@anmolsraj Where did you purchase the phone, from what reseller? Please don't say TinyDeal.. I was about to order one there, it might have saved me from a doomed day.
Please let us know from what source you got your device. It looks like a weird model because those models normally have one camera sensor and not two (in the rear)? Yeah the cool dual has two cams but the x7xx models should not have them?

Looks like they buy and ship after buying stock hence the price they also declare the item as its real value. Meaning that customs will rape ya.
Too bad.. I was hoping that this phone would work with Android Nougat, so that we could extract the ROM from it.
We could then have port it on the Max2 or Pro3.

Anything to know before buying the - ZE552KL - version of the Zenfone 3?

So my LG is dead, and I came across this phone.
What attracted me was the looks of it, it really looks nice! (and then it had some nice specs as well )
*But, it only has 3000 mAh battery, so I wonder how this phone does on a daily usage? I came from an LG G2 D802 with 3000 mAH as well, but smaller screen. So what do you think about the battery life, and if you have any other device to compare it with ?
I am planning to buy it on Aliexpress, but before I buy, I want to know if this phone has - like many other devices a "Chinese" version that the sellers on Aliexpress flash ROM on before shipping? Or this device has actually only 1 model? I also saw that Asus has an official store on Aliexpress so I am less worried, but still
Thanks!

Hi verynoob,
ZenFone 3's CPU is Snapdragon 625 (14nm FinFET) which has good battery life & good performance thanks to Adreno 506 GPU. Well ZenFone 3 has 2 versions (ZE520KL & ZE552KL). Both has same CPU but the difference is the RAM and storage. I have listed the specifications below:
ZE520KL: 3GB RAM + 32GB ROM, 5.2 inch Full HD screen with 2650mAh battery capacity
ZE552KL: 4GB RAM + 64 GB ROM, 5.5 inch Full HD screen with 3000mAh battery capacity
*Note: Different market/region, different RAM/ROM configurations & different LTE speeds & bands
If you buy ZenFone 3 from China/Taiwan/Japan, most probably the seller will change SKU to WW (which means no OTA upgrades and you can only update your device manually)
And ASUS just released Android Oreo for our device
Hope this helps
Thank you, I see you also have the same name as the phone haha, nice
So There is no way to make it OTA update, by flashing an official ROM somehow? Or that's not possible, and it's hardware thing

Haha. Usually, ZenFone 3 that comes from China will use CN SKU and Japan will use JP SKU. On the other hand, the serial number is attached with the SKU. Once the seller changed to WW SKU, ASUS can't provide you updates. So, manual update is only way to upgrade firmware.

Thank you, it does seem worth to buy, that's why I'm so skeptic before buying it, because from some reason I never heard of it before, until I accidentally encountered it on Aliexpress. And I dont know anyone who do know about it
It seem too good, even has USB-C, Gorlla glass, it's IPS+, and a great camera, and it's not too expensive. (Although 3000mAH isn't the best comparing to Xiaomi Redmi Note 4).
It has to have some flaws! Come on guys
So, would it make sense to buy it right now? Here in Italy I could get the ZE520KL from amazon at 220€ ( 273$ )

*But, it only has 3000 mAh battery, so I wonder how this phone does on a daily usage? I came from an LG G2 D802 with 3000 mAH as well, but smaller screen. So what do you think about the battery life, and if you have any other device to compare it with ?
I am planning to buy it on Aliexpress, but before I buy, I want to know if this phone has - like many other devices a "Chinese" version that the sellers on Aliexpress flash ROM on before shipping? Or this device has actually only 1 model? I also saw that Asus has an official store on Aliexpress so I am less worried, but still
Thanks!

One thing you should take a look into, if you're planning to use Custom ROMs on this phone you will be disappointed, since not many ROMs available for this phone and not so many devs are working on it either (no offcial ROMs for it if I'm not mistaken).

So, would it make sense to buy it right now? Here in Italy I could get the ZE520KL from amazon at 220€ ( 273$ )

The better version (5.5 inch with 3000 mAH is on 250-260$) right now on Aliexpress if you wish
And for that little price difference, perhaps you should consider the Samsung Galaxy A5 2017, which some of my friends have, and it looks great, great screen, great battery life. I had a Full HD Lg G2 on a 5.2 inch display, And the A5 is also FHD on a 5.2 display, yet it looks better in my opinion, and battery life is better. I dont know how Samsung does it, much better battery life with the same capacity

It's OK I've used my LG G2 with the stock ROM ever since, I just don't have time to mess with my phones currently, although it is fun
