compare HD vs Touch Pro

Hi all,
I know these 2 models are quite different. What I would like to discuss is how good or bad the Touch HD is, because I've been quite disappointed with my Touch Pro that I just sold.
This time, I want to evaluate properly before deciding for a new PDA.
So, the guys who have a Touch HD, or better: who know the Touch Pro, please express your views and feedbacks (honest ones) on this device.
Thanks.

Maybe you could list what you are not happy with on your Touch Pro.
Having dedicated problem areas to work on makes it easier for a reply and quite often gives quicker results too.

Appreciate you sharing this to all, but it really should have been in general discussion.
Ta

It bothers me that on low light condition camera still sucks royal monkey's balls.
Waiting for a device with tegra..

Looks nice, like an updated slicker Touch HD....
Hopefuly when my contract is up in a year the next gen of WinMo 7 devices will be released.

This thing with Android would be close to perfect.

r u sure you don't mean the HD2?

Either it be the hd or hd2, they are both in a different league from the touch2. The hd and hd2 are multimedia beasts with incredibly capable hardware, while the touch2 is designed and marketed to be a midrange phone.

No I meant HD
Well if HD offer more in term of graphic power I am still ok with touch 2 but just hope that the support and community for it just grows as strong as for HD!!!

Has anyone moved from Touch HD(2) to x10?

Has anyone moved from the HTC Touch HD or HD2 to the x10? I am currently using a Touch HD and have been for the last 2 years. I am wanting to move to Android since WinMo is pretty much dead with 7 coming out. I know Android can be loaded onto the HD but I would rather have an OEM install. I have used some of the Android ROMs on the HD. I also want 3G on T-Mo's US network and I'm not too keen on any of the phones they offer. So I'm looking for any info on how you like one over the other. Thanks!

I have an hd2 that I still use every now and then. However, I do prefer the x10 over the hd2 for most everyday functions such as phone calls and web browsing.
On a whole, the x10 just seems to outperform the hd2, not to mention the slightly smaller screen side makes one handed use much easier.

Samsung vibrant is the new hotness. Tried one out, the thing is faster than my froyo nexus one.

i got an Touch Hd but sold it and got a x10 instead.Got tired of Winmo. Before that a HTC Star Trek, HTC Diamond, Eten G500,Acer N300, all WINMO

yes Sir, I used to have HD2 before the X10
it is a nice move to a more stable OS but you will miss the Great Office application on the WM

Je sors d'un Hd2 dégouté par la fragilité de l'écran et le mauvais service après vente ,c'est impossible de garder l'écran entier ,le moindre choc et votre écran est foutu +- 200 euros chaque fois,d'autre part avec le x10 je n'ai jamais de blocage ,le Hd2 demandais au moins 5 softs reset par jours et un hard reset aussi ,le x10 est beaucoup plus stable aucune comparaison ,d'une part un jouet et de l'autre un appareil fiable professionellement

En anglais, s'il vous plait.

Still have my HD2 but will sell it soon. Even though Developers have made the Android 2.1 and Froyo work on HD2(sort of) but I rather to stay with 1.6 on Xperia because of its design. HTC need some design improvments with their phone.
I don't regret but happy with my X10.

Cool, thanks for the input everyone! I'm leaning towards getting an x10i. I've always liked SE phones too (previously had a w810i).

I've moved from the HTC HD to the X10, and some things got better for me, while others got worse.
Got better
+ Better aesthetics and physical design, feels lighter and more comfortable in hand
+ Better sound quality through 3.5mm jack and superior bundled earphones
+ Organized marketplace with more free apps than on any other OS
+ Many great apps, such as AstridTasks, which allows you to create tasks on your phone and sync them with rememberthemilk.com, as well as any desktop calendar app with support for subscriptions, like iCal on OS X.
+ Mac OS sync with Sony Ericsson Media Sync
+ Google Maps has Street View
+ Native support for many languages, such as Japanese
+ Highly customizable OS
+ Speed and stability makes MSM7201A and WinMo combo seem like a bad dream
Got worse
- Capacitive touchscreen lacks precision
- Keyboard isn't as intelligent as on HTC's devices
- Very low ring and alarm clock volume
- YouTube videos don't play in full screen unless they're native 16:9
- Picture gallery doesn't have smooth transition effects like on Touch Flo 3D
- No real Office Mobile alternative
- Many applications have ads
- No support for Hebrew or Arabic

I was tossing up between the two, and while I had a million WM apps that I came to rely upon, getting off the WM OS was the biggest benefit I could think of...

i have both hd2 and x10 , but to be honest i prefere my hd2 over the x10 , wm email support , office and some business features that i need allot doesnot exist in x10, x10 is only for fun not for any thing else , and using dual boot android on my hd2 now made me forget that i have x10 , i haven't charged it for two weeks now

well i come from the htc hd stable and frankly speaking, i sumtimes miss my hd.
wm is by far the most mature os. android will may be in the next few updates get to the level of wm.
certain nifty things exist tht can be done on wm with utmost ease where as the same thing needs a lot of E&D on android.. eg.. send/recieve business cards by sms...
but ya i have sold off my hd and now m loving the xperia..

It seems like most who like the features of WinMo are using it for business. I don't use mine for business and rarely use Office apps on my phone. I sometimes view docs/presentations on my phone for grad school but I'm graduating in a couple weeks, so I won't need it for that anymore.

danew i1012 / Thomson THBK1, dualboot win8.1 android 4.2

hello
just posting about this windows 8.1 tablet atom z3740 based like every other tablet 2gb ram 32gb ssd
i think
but it has android 4.2.2 no playstore (but u dont need it with android)
but yeah here is a link its 299€ tablet ah its okay 1micro usb otg (no full port) 1micro sd slot 1 micro hdmi and a ugly keyboard with no ports (its a slim keyboard i guess)
http://www.danew.com/fiche-produits-dualboot-i1012.php
its french
to lazy to translate
but its okay i think and has a touch windows logo (only thing i find better then the asus t100 who hasent one its only a sitcker there)
or look for the thomson thbk1 its the same. only logo is different. http://www.amazon.fr/Thomson-THBK1-10-32-Tablette-daccueil-Microsoft/dp/B00JE4OK40
tested it a little, mouse pad isnt clickable. and has no Full usb port.
so its a no for me.
here some pictures

yop,
mini to normal usb is provided.
tablet is cool. main problem is the oleophobic surface sucks, but android is working nicely.
no playstore no root for now. 4.2.1 only.
I'm still trying to backup the whole emmc chip, but i have troubles
once it'll be done, i could quietly try to root it. Should not be very problematic if we could have (and i see them in partition manager) access to ext filesystems.
lcd is correct, although resolution is relatively low and max luminosity could have been brighter.
still looking for a forum of users, seems there are not atm

yeah but the trackpad on keyboard has no click? i tried in shop but couldnt click it.
and yeah but that means no external HDD (u need full usb port that gives power) if i want a tablet a full usb port should be great to have
and yeah but u can install playstore no? just download the apk?
but its cheap. just want a cheap tablet
the only no reason for the asus t100 is the 'no touch windows logo homebuton) if that was a capasitive key i would buy it.
it has usb3. and a great battery.
i will wait and see if there will come other 300€tablet with windows a bit better.

Yes i agree - i was mainly interested in Win + Android, but honestly, this is because i need both. This is not so bad, but this is globally the worse of both:
- for windows, what you mention (not enough power for an hard drive, barely for an usb thumb, no clic - you have to use touchpad, n right clic - you have to keep pressed the touchpad). Impossible to boot to usb thumb too, etc... (or i did not found the trick)
- for android, actually we are locked at 4.2.2, and basically, i spent 4 hours trying to root and install playstore, but i have not a single information on the HW (i need to grab it all at hand). Having access to Android partitions from Windows help a bit tbh, at least i hope.

i just wanted some feed back on this tablet. i think i will pass.
wait for a new tablet that makes me smile and say YES i want that.
there are some at cdisount hp pavilion x2 11 (intel celeron n2910) but can't find any thing about gaming or battery life noting about it. price is okay
370€ 4gb ram 64gb ssd. but dont know about battery noting to find about it.

I bought this tablet from France a couple of months ago, because the combination of Win8.1 and Android 4.2 in tablet form is rare and because the price seemed very fair for the product. Since then, I have used both OS and have been quite satisfied. I installed the Amazon market with which I have access, just like the Play Store but without needing root, on all my apps and they play great on the Android OS. and I also sideloaded some games. The Win8.1 works as expected, most of the time it is reasonably fast but sometimes lag and freezes occur. But its certainly NOT way more often as the freezes I experience with my i7... They just happen, randomly and rarely. I played Ducktales Remastered on it and the game played silky-smooth. I'm encouraged to try other more demanding but kinda oldies games, like Kotor, Age of Mythology Extended, etc and see how they respond. Office and PDF work is easy to do, way better than on any android tablet (and I suppose the same applies for iPad). Having a full PC version of Office is really something irreproachable at the moment and the pre-installed software keyboard is very intuitive and good at predictions. I have installed firefox and I didn't have any problems with demanding sites such as the desktop version of Youtube. Sound is very good from the speakers, much better than my OPPO Find 7 and the screen brighttness is also very strong for me. The colors aren't as punchy as other screens though which is a very small bummer. Build quality is also good. The tablet isn't the thinnest around, but it has a solid feel, mostly plastic, without any strange noises so far... The keyboard is something I really like too, because it's obvious it was made for this specific tablet with the magnet dock attaching strongly and properly, and buttons that feel good. The mousepad requires gestures to use, like double tapping with two fingers to open the right-click menu and I don't find it bothersome at all. Battery life is good, but not very good. When I have a lot of work in the university (main reason I bought a tablet) I find that I can only get 2-3 days of use from the Thomson tablet, but when I use it more intermittently it can last nearly 1 week even when on Win8.1 in sleep mode.
Overall, I'm very happy for my purchase, because I was searching for a tablet that would be a minimized version of a laptop and choosing between the Thomson, Venue, Asus Tranformer models at this price range, I decided that the inclusion of Android is a bonus because it's a more casual and less battery-hungry OS that I could use alternatively, if the only thing I wanted to do with my laptop was to pass the time playing games, watching movies, or reading the news. And the Thomson Dual-Boot tablet performs admirably on both fronts and I believe that I've chosen right.
