your welcome.. and to be honest, there isnt really much reason to change roms if you dont need to, if your satisfied with the device then leave it be (the theory of, if its not broke then dont fix it applies here) if you think there are things that need to be changed then by all means, read up and do something about it

this person is selling a used 8125
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286560
and the 8525 is $409 with a 2 year agreement (meaning upgrade or new contract) i think you can also flat out purchase the 8125 from cingular for around $250

there is no virus greater than human error i would suggest investing in a back up program such as SPB or Sprite

only if you think you necessarily need the extra space.. i would probably spend some quality time with the phone, and get to know it a little better before changing it.. it will help to you to get a better idea of what you are looking for, maybe you will want some faster, or more storage.. there are a lot of choices out there that will help cater to your needs

Buy the blackstone?

Hello guys , i hope a post this right
I am going to buy a new phone soon and I am looking on this HTC HD and i have read a lots of reviews and watched many videos , and I am now wondering should i buy this or the HTC Touch Pro or antother HTC?
I have read many posts at this forum and I have som problem to choose
Sorry for the bad english

I think nobody is able to answer this question for you at all. Its a good device, but HTC Touch Pro is also not as bad .

It all depends on what you need. If you are sending out a lot of emails and text messages, the Touch Pro might be a better choice because of the hardware keyboard. I say might because the large screen of the Touch HD makes using a SIP very effective as well.
But if you are looking for a multimedia phone, the Touch HD is the way to go.
So why don't you start by letting us know what you need it for?

Well ,
I send alots of sms but I think you will get use to the on-screen keyboard, just you get use to everything else.
Surf on the web is also a thing I do much... but the thing i do most is listen to music , and take some photos but not that much.
Whatch som movies never hits wrong.
This post was messy xD hope you understand

well it looks like the Touch HD will suit you just fine

But i wonder one thing, is it many problems with it? many says is god and many says its bad , but what i have seen the most can i find here , many solutions and fixeses

Overall, it's the best device around! And XDA has many tweeks, fixes, & even cooked roms!!

Thx guys , all thats is left now it to get the money xD

Yea man, after having the VOGUE, DIAMOND, and TOUCH PRO (which im still trying to sell) the HD is the phone i would and will go with. Thing is, i am on sprint, so once i get the phone imported, i will have to jump ship, but after having some hands-on time with the phone, trust me, it will be worth it. It's a shame that this phone isn't coming to the U.S. but, as far as rumors go......the G2 maybe an equivalent of the HD????

The Nexus one Chines Mobile Have a Cooked rom??

Hi all

Waiting for reply

Link?

sorry my frind ther is no link, i didnt saw on internet i saw it at dubai market wen i was shoping ther.

I have no idea what you are asking. Do you mean you saw a cheap copy of the Nexus One? And asking if there are roms for that cheap Chinese clone?

not likely... doubt any dev will do it either... but u cud do it urself considering the source code is online...

Did you mean you seen a fake copy version of Nexus One? All fake phone got look only and normally done in China. It is fake which means inside won't be Android.
It just a normal non-smartphone + less power spec, probably you won't get 1Ghz snap dragon on it. That all.

There are fake nexus one's all over ebay. I think the best way to mod them is for use as a bomb detonators.
Well no, not really.

I am in Shanghai, China right now and went to a place famous for knock off phones. I did not see any Nexus One's. I did however see an authentic HTC Desire they were trying to sell for $600USD.

The place i see it is UAE on Dubai market and the cost is around $50

don't expect the clone phone to have similar specs as original phone.
you can buy it for your 2 year old son though

You can buy it as a normal phone and have fun on it. Don't expect it load Android and have same performance and functionality as Original one.
Always remember "They is always no FREE meal in this world".

There *are* knockoff phones that run Android. But you won't get official Google Apps or Market access most likely. And even if it really is running Android, there won't be much of a developer community trying to make the software work well on that phone.
Other typical characteristics of many knockoff phones:
- Only 2G/EDGE, no 3G
- Only dual-band GSM, not quad-band
- Poor hardware quality
- Poor software quality
- Poor battery life
- A propensity to not receive your friends' text messages or phone calls all day, leading you to wonder why you haven't heard from them (this happened with me and a friend who got a fake Nokia)

You mostly get one extra features in all FAKE phone:
- DUAL sim.. haha

Questions for new HD2

Just got a new HD2 for 180$ brand new with just the computer connection and a rubber protector.....everything else including the only other thing I wanted the SD card wasnt included.
Was this a good deal?
I am also looking into straight custom roming this phone....have a TP2 custom romed and with geny with android.
3 questions.
1.I am not use to the snap dragon yet.....I overclocked the tp2 yet the snap dragon makes it seem like molasses...will a custom rom make the HD2 slower or will it actually increase?
2. Which is the most stable ROm out now?
3.Are there any overclockers?

That was a really good price for a HD2.
I am not aure bit I think some of the custom ROMs slightly overclock, but over all the custom ROMs run a lot better and faster on the HD2.
All the custom ROMs are pretty much very stable in my opinion.
I do not knpw of a actual overclock app for Wimdows Mobile maybe someone else can help you out there.

Thanks for the info!
I already HSPL'd and put the dinik rom onto my phone but when all the craze was getting a overclock on the tp2 I heard someone say that the HD2 already had a overclocker..
I'll keep looking around.
Thanks.

ai also checked out the link, and even though I never even knew about this app while running Win Mo I am sure it works with the TMOUS cause it is made to work with Win Mo.

Frankly, I never try it
I dont need to overclock, most custom roms are already blazing fast

T-mac
Yeah I can understand what you mean but there seems to be a difference between the Leo and the TMo HD2 which never made sense to me.
I'll look through the thread and see if it does work.
silver-
Yeah the HD2 is one of the fastest phones I've had due to the snapdragon ...it makes my TP2 even overclocked feel super slow haha.
I just want to check out the overclocker to see how faster it would actually become, faster is usually a good thing. haha.
IF you guys have any other tips for the HD2 please feel free to post....I just custom romed it and thats about it....well and putting slacker on there.

it's really cheap buy it!!!i bought my used hd2 for 1100 TL (about 700$)

Holy cow thats expensive!
I knew I got a good deal but I didnt know it was that bad to buy.
I called T-mo here and they said no contract it would be around 500.

It only costs about 200 used... new maybe 350 at MOST.

I see well I still got a good deal it seems.
I hate how people overprice things. ;/ .
Anyone ever find out if that overclocker works with the tmo hd2?

yeah you pay 18% + 10% tax for phone purchase

About overclocking...
Taking into account how much a mainboard for HD2 costs and how many of them were destroyed by overheating, I want to warn you, beware of overclocking, Snapdragon is fast enough without any overclocking

pvii-
Yeah I see that some people have been having problems with overheating the more topics I have been reading so I might not even overclock till later down the line.
sara-
Jeez 10% in just tax! Online shopping is becoming alot better.

i suggest the asus transformer.

I think 'cheap' is the magic word here...
so I guess a A-label like Asus is already too expensive.

you are right... I was looking at zt180 may be ramos w10 but for this one theren't enough rom and no honeycomb rom

Nook Color. Refurbished on B&N, $200. New, $250.
It's got honeycomb, froyo, cm7, and MIUI. Just no camera, and no 3g/mobiledata.

I second the nook. No tv out but over all a great deal. Can find it for 185 sometimes. Also the cases are discounted. Screen is nice and if you by a tablet with a crappy screen you will definitely regret it.

Again, Nook Color.

Thanks you all!
it's not popular in europe but in fact is excatly what I'm searching
