HTC Tattoo VS HTC Magic

Hi i currently have one HTC Tattoo and i'm quite happy with it but for 60€ diference i could switch to an HTC Magic (HTC Sapphire: myTouch 3G, Magic) .
Would i have a huge difference switching to HTC Magic or would it be minimal?
Thanks for you help

i personally bought Tattoo for the fact than i can make it look diferent from the rest and it's smaller than hero and nexus and it's not geeky like them! now thanks to the developers that worked on Tattoo I think it's not a big difference betwen magic and al the others...

Now that the Magic has Sense UI, go for it!

In performance terms there's much difference?

The screen is bigger and better resolution. I own a tattoo and like its relative smallness but I think the magic is also better looks wise.
Maybe you could hold on for a month and get either the desire or legend. I am looking at one of these as my next phone.

Maybe i'll play for now with my tattoo and then go for something more powerfull since i dont know the platform that well.
The tattoo lags a little sometimes when i scroll, hope that's fixable in android 2.0 or 2.1

That isn't something that needs to be fixed on the OS itself. Even if your phone has a faster processor, then it'll run smoothly on 1.6 also.

Hey i have a htc TATTOO RUNNING 1.6 and i am tiered of it is there a way to get 2.0 or 2.x pls tell me how u cn do it or where i cn get the file my email address is [email protected]

The difference between then are the screen dimension an better resolution. the rest are the same. Tattoo beats Magic at birth day, the little Android it's newer and the only HTC device with customizable cases.

Really??? You want to go back to that dark place
Personally I see Android as an advancement on wm6.5 (even Android 1.6)
I haven't heard that they would be installing wm ROMs on this device.
If your after WinMo the HD2 is your best bet.

thank you for the reply, its down to my preference that i was looking for wm6.5 for this device, i use a htc blackstone but i found the cpu is a bit sluggish!!
i have debranded my x10 but the android 1.6 (doughnut) is a very basic version and feel the snap-dragon cpu is not thriving on this firmware, is there talk of a update for this?
regards

Then get HTC HD2. It is a nicer device.

Yeah I used to have the touch HD too. It did seem kinda sluggish after a while. As I said before the HD2 is the update to the blackstone with 6.5 and a 1ghz processor.
As for the X10, the software is the limiting factor here, but there is planned
update for the x10. The update will bring a later version of Android 2.1, which should make the device snappier. It also brings updates to the Scapes and 720p recording.
Unfortunately the update is planned for the latter part of Q3. The sad thing is newer, faster versions of android will be available then, but not for us.
Unless the device is rooted before then and custom ROMs are created it probably won't get any faster.

There aren't any Android ports for the TP2 with Sense, that I know of.
Casually searching around (the Search function really works great!!!!) there is a Desire theme for Windows Mobile, but it requires the pay app Wisbar Advance Desktop:

Sense for Android powered HTC devices,as of now is not easily,if at all,available for us Touch Pro 2 owners who sometimes run Android 2.2 on our T.Pro 2s instead of windows mobile.Ive tried & HTC Sense i think will only work with the Snapdragon Processors,but i dont hav a device with a Snapdragon processor so i dont really know.I might wait for the 1.5 Ghz processor HTC will hav in some devices in the future.Because really, my T.Pro 2 is definetly the most useful,customizable,versatile device that can run any version of windows,old & new,Android,and i do all that with my T.Pro 2 that i flashed for use on Crickets Mobile network,& everything works great & Cricket doesnt even hav or sell any windows devices.So im extremely impressed with all the hard work evryones put into the developement of the Touch Pro 2.Such as roms,xdandroid,cht,maxsense,cool apps,etc,etc,etc,,,Thanks again evryone who helped.SORRY for straying off topic so much.Dont want u to think im tryin to hijack ur thread.Just greatly impressed with xdandroid developement for my T.Pro 2.Thanks,& if there is a way to get the Sense flipclock is what i want.

search for beautiful widget either in the android market place or online and you'll find that that clock looks almost identical to the sense flip clock... this is of course just for android NOT windows

[Q] No HTC sense 2.1 for HTC Desire Z

It's confirmed by Frandroid (FRENCH SITE):
This is the orignal link:
http://www.frandroid.com/60377/pas-de-mises-a-jour-pour-les-anciens-smartphones-htc/
And the google traduction:
http://translate.google.fr/translat...ises-a-jour-pour-les-anciens-smartphones-htc/

Actually they're pretty lame in english, so let's hope they misunderstood...

What does Sense 2.1 add over 2.0?

I don't think it's what added over 2.0 that matters, but the underlying OS, ie Android 2.3.

If this is true it would be sad.

Quick setting button when you slide down the notification panel, better calendar,
etc. But the point is if they already stop updating the interface for their phone
because they prefer to concentrate their efforts on newer phones, then you can't expect a long term support for the desire z, HD and desire.
Here's an overview of 2.1:

that would be the last site that i trust...lol..

wont trust that site either
anyway custrom roms might be comming anyway

I bet the Sense update will be released with Gingerbread : http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/htc...t-for-android-23-gingerbread-update-50002752/

Good Bye HD2

Today is the day, when i said good bye to my HD2.
It has been qute an experience owning the device and trying all these different WinMo, Android SD and Nand, Windows Phone 7, but i guess i got tired of all those, what is working and not working rom, and now i deceided to get a Xperia X10...
I want to thank all of the developers, testers, and all of the users of this subforum. Great job guys.

Shame... I had an X10 for about a week before I got rid for the HD2 (my second HD2) ... The X10 has a few 'quirks' of it's own but nothing reflashing can't fix.

ithink hd2 its quite good device, since all my friend complaining baout that n this on their soner device...
HTC is more experienced for PDA things than

I've got HD2 with Rafdroid and X10 (updated to 2.1). After using X10 I still come back to my second phone (I find Sense much, much more useful than Sony's firmware - especially these things that decide about phone functionality - adress book (searching is much better in Sense), phone and so on.)

I owned a X10 before but i was disappointed.

lmao. So let me get this straight, you're going from HD2 to the X10? In case that wasn't clear enough...
YOU'RE GOING FROM THE HD2 to the X10?!
lulz

Yep, i got rid of my 9 months old HD2 for a brand new X10, which has everything right out of the box. I wanted to have android for so long and i have tried qute a few sd and nand builds, but still there is something not working. i.e. i must connect to wpa2 enterprise network everyday ... no build support that... sorry hd2 ....

I hope you enjoy the Experience (get it lol)
imho, (and i provide phone tech support for virgin), you are correct to say its all the out of the box, but the build quality, mtbf*, useability, screen quality, reception and software are much below the Leo.
Don't forget that SE don't as a rule supply updates for their phones, and don't expect to update the rom on the X10 this centuary.
You would have made a better choice to go for a Wildfire S
Mean time between failures

If I was you, id try and sell the x10 and get a superior phone, perhaps an Hd2, if you need advice on running wp7 and android, we can help

What he said ^

Gosh guys, if he gets a new phone don't kill him over it. Fact is, our hd2 is non comparable to a true android phone. So it's obvious he's got a better android phone than us. Don't trash him about it.
PS. if any of you guys try to tell me that our hd2's are faster than android phones, root the android phone, tweak it, then flash a custom rom / kernel, then you'll see that android phone flying beyond what our hd2's can do.

niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Yeah I would think the HD2 the better of the two ?

X10 has locked bootloader - there are few custom ROMs and SE said they won't update the official Android in Xperia.
You wanted Android from the box - why not Galaxy S?

Because the galaxy s is known for it's hardware problems. However I find the problems insignificant in my case and opinion.
Now personally I find you choice of the X10 a bad one, as the desire, desire hd or even desire z would have been a better choice. But hey, congrats on the new device. :3

Hi guys! i'll be going to singapore soon to buy my htc hd2. Missed all the tweakings. Had an xda, then xda exec then got an htc shift (still with me now). Looking forward to have one soon.

You chahged hd2 for xperia? If I were you I wouldn't tell anyone about this stupidity. You are crazy, man!

When i had a Xperia X10 i waited 4 months for an update. And not to 2.2 or 2.3 but
from 1.6 to 2.1.(The first and last update for the Xperia X10 family.)
When i got the update guess what, still no multitouch, no adobe flash player,same laggy Timescape and Mediascape.And did not mention the BIG quadrant score: somewhere around 460-500, with the update.
So i did own a Xperia X10i for 4 months and i can say from experience that the HD2 android it is far better than the Xperia X10i.
This is only my opinion. I was happy to change the X10 for a HD2.
You did the opposite.Hope you will be happy with it.
