Hey all, I just ordered my HD2 from T-Mobile, and I found this promo code that onle works once. If you want the online pricing for online T-Mobile orders, or orders over the phone use this code:
HD2FORU
I can confirm it works.
Enjoy! Please post a success or failure post when you use it, if it doesn't work online try it over the phone!
Also, use this code fast, I have no idea if it expires soon. I saw it on a forum, a guy said he got this in the mail.
Man waiting for this phone is going to kill me lol.
Ha welcome to the HD2. I remember waiting for my two HD2 and usually UPS comes before 1 at my house and he didn't come til 4, Just think of how horrible those three hours were
Good find on the promo code btw. I got both of my HD2 for 200 all together.
So you used it for 2 purchases? That's great!
I am not sure when the UPS guy delivers at my aunts house. So I will have to wait twice as long, AHHHH lol.
I got 2 HD2 for free from a corperate kiosk in the mall

nope they had buy one get one free. so they charged 100 per HD2. When you get it you need to put a custom rom on it. without the custom rom you'll be miserable. I am using the Energy Rom which works perfect.

Oh of course, I've been in the WM game for a loooongg time. That was the reason I joined XDA . I went to android (G1 then broke a few months later), and now I've been waiting to get a new phone since.

Yeah I've owned the G1 three times.
I've owned my share phones so I am pretty good at software on most phones.
Blackberry's Owned: 8100(pearl), 8320(curve) 8900(CurveII) 9530 (Storm1) 9700 (Bold II) 8520 ( Curve)
HTC: G1, Mytouch, Touch pro2, Fuze, HD2, Tilt 2
Apple: iPhone 2G , iPhone 3G
Motorola: Cliq, Cliq xt
LG: Voyager, Chocolate 1, Chocolate 2
Sidekick: LX, Slide
Ha so as you can I have had my fair share of phones and I can honestly say I'm loving the HD2 but I believe I will be trying out the iPhone 4 because of the new features
My phone history started with dumb phones(Naturally because I was 8 years old when I got my first phone. . .), then my first smart phone was the Samsung SGH-i607(Blackjack on at&t), then from there I've had my share of phones.

yeah i had all those bar and flip phones when they were popular also. Although the Nokia E62 was my first smart phone and I actually was one of my favorite smart phones.
Basically before 2007, I owned feature phones.
If I could bring the thread back to the original subject, I placed my order for my HD2 last night and tried using the code. No luck, just kicked back an error saying it was invalid. So,

Hmm.. Well anyway i have a Rogers Magic with 288Mb Ram, i was gonna get the mytouch but considering it only had 192mb, i said its not worth it.
2000 tmob u.s. employees were selected to recieve the myTouch a few weeks ago. im curious to see how many know the phone they have is capable of half the stuff it really is.

lol! well i was actualy at tmobile yesterday purchasing a screen protector for my Magic! and they didnt know believe me when i said the mytouch had 192mb Ram instead of the 288 from Htc!
but as far as i know, the phone itself is great apart from the ram issue. it has more flash memory so that people dont complain about there not being enough space for apps..and blah blah blah..
Another T-Mo champ here. They should be here if they are worth the title. Sad though, I think most are not. They just wanted the Phone.
I have lived on here since my MDA... .... I am my stores Champion .
Pretty much the same here. I cant even count how many people I have recomended this site to.
Im one of the champions. We have a forum that we can only access from work computers. There have been references to this site. Thats how I found my way here. Ill be sure to soak up as much as I can.
Just downloaded the Sherpa app and it seems to work great.
Hey dru66, where did you get the sherpa download. can't seem to find it on my unit. Did it come with the las update, or did you actually have to install it?
Its on this site. Its just the apk file you need not the whole folder
Just got my white mytouch and I am all ready to root this sucker lol

Being owners when the phone just came out, many have found their New Every 2 to be approaching or already here. When the time comes for the new phone, what device are you leaning toward? Are you staying within the WM arena and going with a Diamond 2 or Touch 2; Webos and Palm Pre; Android and the Hero; or off to the iphone?

Stick with WinMo and just upgrade to a TP2 or similar device (key is a bigger screen, at least 3.5" in the diagonal.)
Iphone or any phone on a non-WinMo operating system is a non-issue. Won't want to do without the Skyfire browser, for starters. The app WMWifiRouter is also important to me (turn phone into a wireless router accessible to multiple devices simultaneously.)
Iphone is too expensive to operate at this point - can't get an Iphone onto my $50 "unlimited everything" prepaid from Boost (Sprint CDMA) with unlimited 3G EVDO data. The same functionality I currently get out of my Titan for $50 a month would cost me around $200 a month on an Iphone plan.
Well I have been thinking about this lately...
My new every two year discount begins in December.
I could still use my Titan and wait for a Windows Mobile 7 device with a keyboard but not sure if I can wait that long.
I could get a Touch Pro 2 even though I wish there was a HD2 Pro instead.
Looking at the Pre and Droid as options too...
It's such a hard decision and hopfully there will be more leaked info on Windows Mobile 7.
Thought about the TP2. Out of stock on the website, not available locally.
Signed up for the Droid emails. We'll see what it's like when it comes out. I need a mainly business focused device (active sync, calendar, contacts), not sure if the Droid will live up to it.
I'm also on the hunt for a new rom to flash to the Titan.. (been on an old dcd rom for a long time now).
Thanks for the reply george.
I am sorta in the same boat segadc. My NE2 is up with verizon. However the Pre, Droid and Hero sparked my curiousity equally as I think I may want to jump from WinMo. The worry for me is apps. In testing a friends new jailbroken iphone, the realm of apps is limitless. The Pre, drois and Hero all have good points about them but the recent info for Pre release on Vz Network is not until early 2010. I would like to see all three fisrt hand before I decide to stay with Vz or make a jump for the iphone.

Same here. I would have had a TP2 by now if it was ever in stock. Then I started getting info on the droid and I am intrigued.
The business aspect is somewhat less important to me, so I am leaning android at this point. Though I will miss the htc tweaks...
Yeah I signed up for the Droid emails too. If I knew for sure when the first Windows Mobile 7 (with physical QWERTY) is arriving on Verizon, I would definetly stick with Windows Mobile...
Is the TP2 bigger then the Titan? I need to see some size comparisons.
The more I look at the Hero, the more I am a fan I think. I think the days of WinMo may have come to an end. With my NE2 up now and my contract up in Feb...stay with Vz or go to At&T with the iphone. Like I said, I am an app man but the Hero looks rather sweet.
dont buy an iphone
I was in the exact same situation as you. Out of contract and new every 2 available. Plus, VZ took an additional $100.00 off of the cost of any comperable device. I wanted the TP2 in the worst way, but they are unobtainium (except online for $675.00 ), so I got the Imagio, which I was told is an upgraded version of the TP2 without the keyboard. Not true. The TP2 does quite a few things that the Imagio does not.
Comparing the Titan to the TP2, the TP2 feels great in the hand. It is a little on the heavy side, but I like a device that feels solid. The contoured back is very ergonomic and the cooling holes provide for a nice textured feel that doesn't make me think that I'm about to drop it every seven seconds. I especially like the tilting screen. And once you use a phone with a 3.6 inch screen, you will not want to go back to the 2.8 inch on the Titan. Again, sadly the TP2 is not to be found.
The Hero looks good in specs, but so did the Imagio. If the Leo were to be available on VZ, I would certainly give that one a shot. The bottom line is that I am not happy with the Imagio and will most likely send it back. Then I will be right back in that boat with you.
What exactly does the TP2 do that the imagio doesn't?
yeah... Same here. I am ready to NE2 and I am a VIP member so the TP2 would cost 199.99 less 100 NE2 and less 50 for VIP. End cost $49.99 on line only (stores don't give the online discount of 100 or the vip discount). If I could find one. I called tech support and got to the higest level. I was told they have some in stock to replace defective units but not for sale. They wouldn't give me any idea as to when they would be in stock. Then they told me they would look into it and send me an email or txt msg. three days later I got a txt: and I quote "(Verizon Wireless) HTC Touch Pro2 is out of stock. Will no longer be sold. Thank You for choosing Verizon Wireless"
So I guess I wait or jump ship.
I went to youtube and watched reviews for the imagio and the tp2 to compare. I was thinking to go to the imagio. But after watching both reviews, I decided NOT to get the imagio. If you want to watch them yourself type imagio and look for the review part 1 and part 2. Same with the TP2.... I think I'll go take a look at the droid specs.....
Just call everyday. They get small shipments pretty often.
I don't think I was really into the TP2 as I wanted something difft. I was a fan of the Hero previously until I saw Motorola's Droid. Though I need to see actual video reviews of the phone and test it out before I buy it, the Droid may be the way I go. I guess we will wait and see.

The biggest thing for me is that the Imagio does not support the video out function. Everybody that I have talked to at VZW and HTC say that "It appears as though the Imagio should support video via accessory cable interface." "Looks" and "should" don't get the picture on my PICO.

I've read this rumor all over the place. Currently they are instock online and in some stores. Why would Verizon discontinue an item that is under such a high demand. My NE2 is up in 2 weeks. I almost got a rep to give it to me early. Anyways, I'll be getting the TP2, unless something changes in 2 weeks.

If you can get the TP2, more power to you. For some reason, VZW says (online and in person) that they are out of stock and will not be getting any more. What part of the country are you in? Another user was able to find one in a San Francisco area store. You say that they are available online. When I go online (signed in or acting as a new customer) it says "NEW!" "out of stock".
Scratch that! I just went on Verizon's web site (I usually check it three of four times a day) and it shows the TP2 in stock!
Hmmm. Well, I think I'll be staying with the 6800 for a bit longer. I've looked at the new stuff, but the problem with the TP2 is that it hasn't got a port for an external antenna and where I work, if you don't have an external antenna, you aren't getting out.
Likewise, I like being able to use my phone as a modem for my laptop. Can't do that on the new Verizon phones, at least as far as I've seen (nor can I seem to get Vista to let me do it on my new laptop, but that's another issue.) The new phones are made for people who work in places where cell coverage is ubiquitous - and that's just not my situation.
For the above reason, obviously the iPhone is out too - though I have a patent loathing for the condescending Apple that precludes such a purchase anyway.
you can use something like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4170499 to tether with most new phones.
I guess the external antenna is a downfall. But you could just buy a cell phone repeater amp and not need to plug something into your phone everyday. and you could walk around eaiser.
That's a thought - though I already had the antenna.
There's another link I can use! Thanks! This site is a goldmine of info!
If so, which phone do you want?
I have had many PDA phones from HTC. I've probably had the Touch the longest out of all of them. I had the Diamond for a couple of months but returned it as the battery lasted only a fraction of the time that my touch did with the same settings. I hear the GSM version didn't have as much of a battery issue as the CDMA version. I currently am running build 6.5 23081 on my Touch and it is the best OS and build so far I've had on it but the phone is missing so many features I would like. While the Touch has served me very well, I'm looking forward to my next model.
I'm on Sprint so my choices are limited but I'm hoping they are considering the HD2 as they have a poll on their web site to find out if people would like it - http://community.sprint.com/baw/poll.jspa?poll=1040
I want the faster processor
I want the bigger screen
I want the flash (as I use vjcandela and other programs to use the phone as a flashlight)
I want the higher resolution
I want the new touch screen
I want the HD2
im buying a blackberry or htc hero this week. im done with winmo.
Well it's rumored that the HTC Dragon is coming to Verizon. I'm going to hold out on getting anything else. The dragon is the android version of the hd2. So i'll be looking at a 1GZ Snapdragon powered Android 2.0 phone with sense ui. I hope it doesn't melt my hands.

yeah but i wonder what the price tag will be? better start saving now zen.
I can't imagine the phone NOT being subsidized in part by the carrier, you know... like everything else they've ever put out - it'll just be close to half a million when it first comes out like it always is.
But yes, I like the touch a lot but I really miss the hardware keyboard on my MotoQ, I am now not only against all screen keyboards, but will never buy another phone that doesn't have a hardware keyboard now.

well i can say goodbye to winmo in a few days. i just got a great deal on 2 new blackberry curves from sprint for only $50, so i got one phone for free!
come on windows mobile is great. i only have to hard reset every week or so.
I've had my WinMo HTC Touch with Sprint for over two years and I had to hard reset all of like twice....and one of those times was just to install WinMo 6.1. So yeah, maybe you guys are just doing something wrong, lol.
As far as my next phone, I am getting that HTC Touch Pro 2!! It look so amazing and I am dying to get my hands on it. HOWEVER, I just might change my mind because these new 1GHz phones seem so freakin' beastly. I gotta see when they'll be out and if it'll be worth the wait. Also I gotta see if they have all the features I want.
The Verizon Eris or Droid doesnt look so bad......
Canada wont get the Motorola droid for months and when we do it will be a 3 year contract with a $500 activation fee and a minimum $60 monthly plan with 500mb transfer and NOT unlimited texting just like the Palm Pre. Epic failure.
It's Droid for the Wifey and I at the end of the Week!!!!

I went into the local Bell retail store, looking at phones. Talked to the guy about the HTC Touch Diamond. He looks at me weird, asks "You like Windows Mobile??". I grin back, and say, "No, I like Android, but that's the closest I can get with you guys." I pull out my vogue and show him plemen's themed Donut build. At this point he tells me to hold on to my $200 upgrade credit a bit longer... as they will have the Samsung Galaxy within a month! Apparently the Samsung rep had been in the day before to talk 'em up about the Galaxy and Android, how awesome it's gonna be... yadda yadda. Needless to say, I'm holding onto that upgrade credit of mine for a *bit* longer
The galaxy is very un-exciting.
Better to get an unlocked Hero from Telus and put it on Bell.
Okay I have the $7 sprint insurance and my phone fails to connect to the sprint network(unrooted and stock 2.1).
I went to the sprint store today and they said they fixed it because the PRL was outdated blah blah blah....and the pohne worked fine.... for 2 hours then it failed again.
I chatted with sprint about it and a rep told me to go to the sprint store to get a new hero(he first offered me a refurb instinct! because he did not have any refurbs for the hero).
So tomorrow I have to go to the store again to claim a new hero.... but I'm 99.9% sure I won't see it since its discontinued.
What phone should I ask for if the hero is not in stock? (I am not asking for an evo or evo 3d just the next comparable phone that replaced the hero)
definitely do not get the instinct worst phone ever lol. if anything try and squeeze the lg optimous s out of them, it was very similar to the hero accept it didn't have sense, if they don't have any heroes in stock that is.

LG Optimus is very similar spec to the hero but better for some reason. Also has a real proximity sensor, still doesn't do flash. This would be a sidegrade though, you should shoot higher, sometimes the reps are good about that.
EVO 3D would be ideal but aim for a EVO Shift
Instinct is a big NO WAYYYY!!! That phone almost had me give up my cell phone and get a landline again it was so bad. The Optimus is a decent phone. My son has one and he generally likes it, however it doesn't have a large developer following so your ability to stick with it for the duration of your contract could be problematic.....if your contract extends beyond the next 6 months or so.

If his Hero is stock he'd probably be happy with an Optimus.....Agreed there. The Hero has been a lot more fun for me to tinker with though IMO.

Last time I checked (about a month ago) Aosp was primarily for the Optimus V some reports were that it would run on the S but it was buggy as hell and required the hard buttons remapped.... There were only 2 roms at the time worthy of a daily driver (stock & 1 custom). There were ony a couple of custom kernel choices and very few tweaks. It's also quite cumbersome to root (had to follow like 5 seperate threads and the screen is totally blank for 3/4 of the process). Please don't get me wrong it's not a bad phone, but if you're used to all of the customization of the Hero (like me)....I personally find it somewhat dissapointing.
***EDIT*** To be fair and objective since I don't give my son's Optimus the same love & TLC as our other phones & Nooks. I just popped over to Android Central to have a fresh look around. It seems like the rooting proccess has improved substantially in the past month and there are a couple of flashable "Sprint fixes" for the Aosp rom. Also new since I last visited is a unofficial beta CM7.....For what it's worth.
I sat down and had a beer with an old friend last night, he told me he had a samsung moment and since they didnt have that phone in stock he got an epic 4g.
They offered him a keyocera android phone and he said he paid for a high end samsung phone when it came out...not a keyocera.
I played with the optimus at the store and I like it...my upgrade is in 2 months...if they're feeling nice and let me renew my contract I'll get an evo 3d.
But an optimus S will be fine
I only need two things...my dish network tv everywhere app and pandora...
Lol.... this is what they offered me directly from my sprint web transcript
I can offer you one out of below mentioned refurbished phones for free. The contract will not be renewed. Once your phone will be eligible for upgrade, you may upgrade:
LG Lotus(Refurbished)
SANYO SCP-3810 (Refurbished)
Samsung Reclaim(Refurbished)
SCP-2700 by Sanyo (Refurbished)
Samsung Instinct (Refurbished)
Going to the sprint store soon... 1 hour drive... hope I get this solved once and for all.
Been around 9-10 hours without service

.... store told me they ordered a hero and it will be here on friday... lets wait and see.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Right now im using the hero over wifi since the 3g radio fails to connect... if i get a new hero i will root it and flash ginger deck with gapps... the thing feels clunky as hell on stock 2.1
Right now the fastest battery friendly rom is ginger deck right? Any other roms worth trying?

Are those builds stable enough to be used daily? I really don't need eye candy on the phone...just battery life.

Off topic but i just started using the xda forum app and its amazing!

i would use aospcmod and set it to 3520-691 ondemand and your battery will last forever.
Well lets wait and see if I get the new phone on Friday. 99.9% guaranteed i'll get a refurb but meh its worth avoiding the $100 deductible from asurion.
Played with the optimus in the store again... the thing flies on stock 2.2.
Played with the evo shift and the slider feels firm compared tot he epic which feels cheap in the hand.
Going to use my upgrade towards the Galaxy S II or Motorola photon on september or whenever the phones are out

I haven't had really a single issue with cm nightly in months.
Well the time is nearly here to retire my HD2, just ordered a nice new HTC one X due to be delivered april 5th.
Had the HD2 for over 2 years and went from custom 6.5 roms to android SD to Android Nand to win 7 so a big thanks to all the devs for the hard work.
Had a great deal on the One X too, £31 a month with 300mins, 1.5gb data and unltd txts

Interested to buy!
pm me an offer, bearing in mind I wont be ready to ship until the new one arives 5th april.
The phone also has a brand new screen fitted by HTC under warantee. The original started to fail to respond so replaced under warantee.
Got the original box, charger, 8gb sdcard + the paperwork stating the screen was changed by offical HTC repair center.
why dont u keep the fone, they are getting harder to find in mint condition.. dont forget to delete the sms_registry and the SMS log if on 6.5 and u sell it
i found some highly sensitive sms on my T.M HTC HD2 when i bought mine from previous owner
This should be posted in the Marketplace section found here.
On a side note I bought a new phone as well about a month or two ago, the HTC MyTouch 4G Slide.
This phone for me has great specs. Dual-core, slide out keyboard and what a lot of people say is the
best camera ever put on a cell phone (same as Amaze 4G if i'm not mistaken). Well anyway I've used
my new phone a total of 3-4 times in the past several weeks. I just can't for the life of me let my HD2 go.

I hear you In fact, I am after a motherboard to assemble second HD2 I have in bits waiting to be fired up. I play with lots of various latest models and as much as I liked Galaxy SII, especially in terms of camera and general speed, I will not be parting with my HD2 any time soon. I feel tempted by One X though...
I'll admit the specs on the HTC One look pretty great and would love the phone myself as well. I would need to see how big the screen is though. I came from the two smaller phones to the HD2 and it took some getting use to in my pocket. Infact for the first few days it felt more like a small book in my pocket then a phone. Since the HTC One is close to a half inch larger i would need to play around with it before buying.
I don't know what's next for me. anything with hardware capable of lasting as long as the hd2
HTC one X - this will be another popular thread in XDA & HD2 will be heading to the Legacy department
...but i wil still keep my HD2 untill the day it dies
Keep as a back up. Hd2 is a legend
