So I contacted HTC...

In regards to the classification of the Imagio/Whitestone and just as many of us thought, it's not a damn Topaz/Diamond2 or anything. As with the Blackstone, it is it's own phone. I would be happy to forward the email to any forum admin/moderator if need be but it's time we get a separate forum lol.
New Response From [ John (North America Support (Tech)) ]
Hello *******,
I would be happy to provide you with more information about the Verizon Imagio. The HTC codename for the Verizon Imagio is the HTC Whitestone. The Imagio is not the HTC Touch Diamond2. This device is exclusive to Verizon. The current US release of the HTC Touch Diamond2 is with AT&T and renamed to HTC Pure. The HTC Pure and Verizon Imagio are 2 completely different devices.
Please feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions. In order to help improve our service I’d like to invite you to take a survey at http://survey.htc.com/worldwide. Thank you for contacting HTC America Technical Support via e-mail.

Good job you got to the bottom of it as far as I am concerned. Solute!

Awesome!
I was curious why this phone did no have it's own section yet.

I sent a message to the forum admin hoping they'd reconsider creating an Imagio/Whitestone section for us. The initial post in the General forum was locked for some reason. Maybe with enough support for this they will create our own forum.

Thank you
I love my new Imagio, having "upgraded" from a TouchPro. (Well four TP's over the course of six months - the shortest life-span lasting less than four days! )
I would love to see it's own forum, and perhpas because the specifications internally are a bit different it does deserve one. Here's hoping.

i was wondering the same thing, same thing must have been found out over at ppcgeeks forum they made the change a couple of days ago...

looks like we have alot of members picking up the Imagio. With all the support im sure they will make a new section for it

PPCgeeks has an Imagio section now....

Everyone should understand by now that the HTC Imagio is just the Touch Pro 2 (CDMA) w/o the physical keyboard. Same screen, same processor, CDMA + GSM worldwide, .... so of course it's not the Topaz/diamond 2 ...

I as well would love to see a section all the Imagio itself and I am hoping that there are enough members with the phone to have the goods that I enjoyed with the Touch Pro. I am not sure how long I will be able to go without flashing my phone 3-4 times a week lol.

So far I've heard nothing back from the site admin regarding this. I don't want to keep pushing them or bugging them lol. For now I remain pretty active on the PPCGeeks dedicated Imagio forum and just keep hoping xda will do the same and make us a forum

Hurray they're making the Whitestone/Imagio forums!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=546

i feel like with it properly named we can get more activity going on!

Any word on if they will move these threads to the whitestone forum?

There are enough differences between the Touch Pro 2 and the Imagio (no video out for one) that, despite being told by Verizon that the Imagio was the TP2 w/o the slide, they are very different functionality wise.

Whitestone Forum on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=550

Should xda give us our own portal?..They answered and said "YES"

Thanks to everyone that voted.
As for the 6 that voted No, have fun with your new EVO or Nexus One. I'm sure the $300-$400 is going to buy a great phone, but I'm going to hold off on it for a while.
Looks like we will have our own forum and sub-forums after the weekend
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6206357&postcount=899

We fought for this a long while ago... And I have suggested many times... I don't think it will happen as much as this sub-forum needs it..
*edit.. When I refreshed it was there..

Absolutely, positively yes.
The GSM Hero and the CDMA Hero are completely different phones. More different, at least that the Sprint Hero and the Verizon Droid Eris. (In fact, if there was ever a reason to put two phones in the same forum, it would be the Sprint Hero and the Eris. They're the same damn thing with different colored plastic...)
Sprint may not be the biggest carrier, but they're still not small. The Sprint Hero deserves the same treatment as any other phone....

Yes Yes Yes ...

No joke. The stupidist phones have their own forum. Why cant the CDMA Hero?
For instance:
The HTC Wallaby...Seriously?? ROFL
HTC Universal: Look how lame it looks...
HTC Apache: It barely has 250 threads.
HTC Charmer: Barely has 200 threads.
Palm Treo: Has two forums dedicated to their pile of **** phones. Really now?
HTC Athena: Lame
And that folks is just the tip of the iceberg. The CDMA Hero has more threads than the G2. LOL

Yes and a mod or two. I sent in a request for this yesterday.

its not even just a want at this point, its more like a need.

I mean as much activity that this single forum gets daily is cause alone for us to have our own portal

About time. This saves me two clicks...

Yeah lets go on strike...
Awww ****... no one needs us..
Oh well we really do need this, i hope they look at the stats soon, We have probably close to the highest posts and threads made a day.

totally agree we need this, not only would it help organize everything but then there would be the general discution section where people can post thier random stuff and not get 6 lame threads saying "stop with the lame threads" as far as potential mods go my votes go to toast and obilisk

we needed this a long time ago

Guys, there is a place to ask for this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276306&page=89
I posted just a day or so ago and even offered to donate for their time and effort to make this happen.
Maybe.....IF you posted your thoughts in that thread they would take a look.
It is after all a thread/area where they say to post and they'll answer you maybe?
Thanks,
Bubba.

I don't know that I would have offered them 50.00.
And in fact it's NOT hard to create subsections for this. This bulletin board software is fairly standard. Probably take 10 minutes to create stuff. Getting the mods to move threads around would take a while, sure, but the subfora would be ready and usable in the meantime.

bump- back to first page

Who are the two ppl who said NO ?? They are certainly now owning a HTC Sprint Hero i believe

I agree. The subforum was a good idea when the GSM Hero had just been released and a CDMA version was still just a rumor, but now it is really its' own device with its' own community. We have no use for any of the GSM forums, all we have is this one dinky forum that expands at a collossal rate every day.

Re: Should xda give us our own portal? I'm sending over to Admins

You should understand that phones such as the Wallaby and Apache(although not the XDA line) are some of the original HTC phones and those forums are what started XDA. The Apache was HTCs first major entry into the US CDMA market. XDA-developers has historically been for GSM phones(ie,XDA's) with CDMA hacking based over at ppcgeeks.com. Threads for the Apache are in the thousands there.
Only since the CDMA hero has there been real active dominant development of any cdma phone done here....

it would be nice to just separate the general talk from the dev talk... I used to think this was a dev forum and everything else should go in hero general talk, the general user base reminds me otherwise on a daily basis.
Lord help you if you actually suggest a topic be moved, people start accusing you of acting like a self proclaimed mod. I've pretty much given up posting in this section because of it.

LOL. Seriously??? The EVO is coming out this summer and 25% of the hero community will be leaving immediately and then another 25% will leave for it in 6 months after that!
MODS, this subforum is just fine.

Extra Equipment

I usually run through the gauntlet when it comes to testing things to make my phone my own. That usually causes extra stuff laying around the house that I'll never use but hate the throw away. Looking to find new homes for these items all I ask in return is a small donation of whatever you think it's worth and to cover shipping and it's yours. Just send me an email or a pm. First come first served was going to put up on ebay but figured I'd offer out to the community that has given me so much knowledge my head hurts.
The Items that I have are all for the Evo:
1. Sold
2. Sold
3. Sold
4. Sold
List will be updated as soon as Item is confirmed gone.

Haha im the first to say wrong section.

Yeah there is a classified section but with it being EVO related I dont see it being in the wrong section. General seems right to me.

17 May 2011 - HD2 for Sale (Spares or Repair)

Hey forum folks, I'm selling my HD2
]
Sadly, I dropped my HD2 and the screen went *smash!* although, it all still worked. Anyway, this blighted me so I tried to replace the screen with a brand new digitizer/screen replacement combo but I have failed. Despite very carefully taking it all apart and putting it all back together (as per the HTC guides on youtube) I've failed to do a good enough job and the screen now believes I am pressing it when I am not. Anyway, I believe this can be fixed but I don't have the know how or the funds to do it as I am going travelling in a fortnight.
I have therefore taken the v.diff decision to flog my phone so that someone can fix it or use it for spares. As far as I can tell everything is working except for the volume buttons. I think the problem with the volume buttons is that the orange sticker thing might have fallen off and I don't know where to get these replaced?
Anyway, the screen is BRAND NEW; as is the digitizer. The GPS module, battery and camera all work fine so it's an ace little phone that could be easily stripped for spares. I'm giving you guys the chance to get in on the bidding and if you've got any questions I'll answer them right here! So get bidding - oh and the auction opens at 0.99p!!!
I should also add that I don't think this contravenes the forum rules but if it does I beg and plead and grovel in a very humble manner - I only mention it because I know how important these rules are and I know how upset the moderators get with idiots and I am scared I may have stumbled into that category with this posting.

I think you're ok, just post this in the Marketplace next time, maybe a mod can move it for you.

Hi Guys and Gals,
Sorry to bother you all, but just wanted to say that I have been forced to relist my old HD2 after the last auction was won by a massive timewaster who didn't pay up and who wouldn't respond to questions as to the delay.
Anyway, I've relisted the device on e-bay, and you can find it at e-bay.co.uk and the item is ******. I hope that this time someone who actually wants it might win!
Cheers

We have a Marketplace for selling things. And we don't alllow ebay links, as per the forum RULES.

I had to laugh at this

I know its a sore subject around here. But thanks to a few of you, Dell appears to be close to making good a decent phone. We'll know by the end of the week.
In reviewing many of the threads here, especially the ones accusing Dell of fraud, Micheal Dell of being less than a man, and some basic Dell hates us stuff, I read a few lines by several people that mentioned every company and many phones go through this exact problem....of course, they were laughed off....some in anger...some in jest.
My time with the Venue Pro is almost over. 7 months with a single phone is a long time for me, and I've already purchased my next phone. I'll be looking for a Mango device near the end of the year....but in researching my new purchase I came across many of the things that were written here in the Venue Pro forum. I thought I would share one that just made me laugh.....this is for you Sparta....beware your next purchase...
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
" I think we all agree, T-Mobil knowingly sold product which they were fully aware was defective (whether the hardware or software). It's just NOTpossible this phone was released without them knowing about the problems. That said, I think they just crossed thier fingers, hoping we would not complaint too much; in the meantime they have made millions on us and when we complain they say "let them eat cake". Compare your experience with T-Mobil and a reputable department store; you walk into Best buy and say I just bought this and it does not work right.....ummm they giev you a new one, that works; think about it.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
We're not alone.....the corporate world is evil.....

I understand him (and others) being angry. But at the end of the day you vote with your dollar, not your posts on a message board or on a twitter account. If you aren't happy don't give them your money next time.
Appreciate the info you've given in this section, enjoy that g2x!
