Who else calls their N1 "my precious" ?
Mine is otherwise known as "ribbon of endless joy" after the Star Trek Nexus Energy Ribbon - or it was until I realised it had no vibrate or haptic functioning and had to send it back (with an unlocked bootloader...) Hope I see it again.
Dayz ...
I sent mine back with dusk under the screen and unlocked bootloader. I had them send me a replacement first. I hope they don't charge me a repair fee.
hahah funny other people do it aswell, i ever since i got it i call my n1 my precious but thats gonna change in a coupple of months time ;D
You left out the option for us to select, "Wow, you're lame".

Nope, Mine is named "Sam Google" I would name him a girls name like you do cars but he was just to powerful to be a girl...
I don't call it my precious, but I call it my bad boy!

I was wondering where that choice went!
I decided that Google chose a stupid name in superphone. Because of that, I call the N1 the godphone.
Yay guys, Our beloved HD2 beats the contenders in Gadget Show's test.
John Bentley even adding codicil that, as well as being a potential iPhone beater, the hardware is superior
I love this phone
any link to this show?
I'm pleased it was a fair test too, very good report! I Love my HD2
did yo have any doubts?
they still had a snide remark about windows mobile though...

Clickety website. Tonight's show will be up to view soon.
Damn - was about to come on and post exactly this.
Just watched it with my wife who loves iphone
Beat the motorola driod & nexus one - and (as said) nearly the iphone. Bearing in mind the gadget show loves the iphone to death :S
Ouch...the Nexus One took a panning
Considering how Apple biased these guys are, I think they must have been very impressed with the HD2. For me, the HD2 is the best phone available at the moment.

the spelling mistake in the URL is on purpose, , , ch5 have spelled it wrong
and who cares what anyone else think, I, and I repeat I think this is the best device for ME, period. Don't you think?
It's nice to see media are noticing phones other than Apple branded ones!

Also bearing in mind the review focused on two of the 'weaker' aspects of the HD2, the camera and text input, it just shows how good the HD2 really is (I personally think the camera is very good, up with my Ignito/Diamond if not better, and once I installed Swype - wow fantastic!)
I haven't had a single crash, no obvious issues with my 1.48 ROM + camera fix, totally happy so far

It'll be on here soon, unless it gets uploaded by other means
TBH the review itself is superficial, complete with classic english eccentricity, it's the outcome that's surprising considering the gadget show's iPhone fanboys
Forward to 6:51:30 and pay close attention to the her hand raised to her Ear @ 6:51:38 and Pause....that bak of the HTC HD2 !!!!!!
They have masked the front of the phone with CGI...LoL
HTC HD2 .....YEP !!! there it is !!!

the region restricted video content has not been in place long. can't see the point of a site like others that restrict viewing to the UK where it airs anyway.
I always thought that the Gadget show was sponsored by Apple as they are so biased!
One thing though...Why didn't they include the Iphone as part of the tests?? surely that would have been a fair comparison....Well we all know that the Iphone would have been knocked off it's perch and they wouldn't want to show that!
Tango has released their video chat for iOS and Android, you can find it in marketplace or at Tango.me
Might not show up in the Apple market just yet, they're a little slow.
I haven't tried it yet, but it looks promising.
So does this mean we can video chat with iPhone users as well?
Fring already lets you talk with iOS devices.
What does this do differently?
Thanks for the info, will check it out.

Thanks for the heads up will try it now.

Just got done installing on the old lady and my evos. Video quality is much better than Qik or Fring.
Wow, that's what I have to say about the App. Its awesome, no push to talk button like qik. Way better picture quality, and its full screen. Also has a small button on the top right of the screen so you can switch cameras. I love this App, let's Tango everyone.

I guess we were holding it wrong.
I downloaded Itunes to updated her IPhone, and the damn thing wouldn't even update(3G one) Took me 3 times to download the updated for some reason, and then it tried to backup her phone and itunes kept freezing. So she said i think i cant get a upgrade the the Iphone 4, so we log into he account(which takes about 3 min) her bill was 100 bucks and she had a 39.99 plan(i about pooped myself) but with all the additions(text,web, etc.) it brings her monthly bill up that high.
Man im so happy im with Sprint!!
edit: that reminds me i better uninstall that bulls!t program they call iTunes

Well they at least laugh until they see how awesome it is
I find it kinda funny when i pull mine out and friends/family of mine who haven't seen it laugh their ass off until i show some stuff
Do your mates laugh at you with your tab?
hell yeah, my colleague mock it most of the time coz most of them are using blackberry
especially they keep acting using my tab on their face to make a phone call
i dun care though, at least my tab are getting their attention ^^

Yeah, thats pretty much how it is for me. Once you explain that you don't hold it to your ear and that its a speakerphone (nless you use BT headset or headphones) then it makes more sense to them. And as for what it can do?...
The ipad is very popular and can be seen everywhere but as soon as I whip out my Tab, I always get the "is that the ipad" question. Cracks me up all the time.

"Is that a Kindle?" is the funniest one I've heard...
yep, as above 'until they see how awesome it is'
then they get jealous!
bought my wife a 3g ipad for xmas and she got me the Gtab, or itab as i sometimes call it while mocking her with the awesomeness if it
her ipad lives in a bedroom drawer and never gets used by either of us
and that is the absolute truth
I just tell people it's the ipad2 with more customization features, and less of The Man to get in my way of making it look like I want it to.
Whenever I use someone's ipad I get all annoyed that I have to always have something open, whether it's the app drawer, or an actual application, can't I just get back to my home screen?

Exactly the same with my colleagues... Until we look for something and they try to read their small iPhone screen while everybody comes to check on my Tab because obviously it's more readable. Only objection from the same iPhone colleagues: "Yeah looks much bigger on my iPad". Unfortunately the iPad stays home because it's a pain to carry around ahaha
First thing I hear when I showed my tab to relatives: my ipad is better.
This was before the screen was even on

hmm..
All you have to do is ask them to take a picture with the ipad...then quickly take take a video of them making up excuses.

well this what I did when they did that:
"Hey lets compare pics on the screens! How about you start by sending me a pic via Bluetooth"...
"I can't send stuff via Bluetooth. Can I send you an email instead?"
"*sigh* OK "
" there isn't free wifi here."
"I'll tether my internet then"
At least it shows them the tab is more productive.

I get a load of laughs as well as the customary Trigger Happy TV reference but once they pay attention they like it a lot
ive done it when they were laughing at me..they suddenly stopped when i showed their own videos taken from gtab
No one laughs at my Tab because they see the H&K MP-7 under my coat or the H&K USP on my hip... Its highly unlikely they even notice the Tab when I have it in my hands. But if they did, and they said something negative about it... well, it would get ugly!

As someone who has owned an iPhone4, only thing better is the camera, and I guess the screen, but I don't really care about that.. Show them ANYTHING ELSE and they will be impressed.
Also, I bet when the Evo was announced, the person making the announcement was able to get a data connection on their phone.

.... why doesn't the iphone have widgets? such a fail. Thats the biggest thing its lacking imho.
Hm... Widgets. 'Nuff said. I'd like to see an iPhone search the App Store from the phone's homescreen. Or for that matter do anything besides open its programs. I would have thought the big clock and weather widget on the main Sense screen would be enough, that was honestly part of why I chose the Evo over the Epic. (that and a dislike of Samsung after my horrible experiences with my last phone)
edit: yes, show him custom ROM loading and backup, plus how easy it is compared to the iPhone.
steve jobs.. dont believe in widgets!
Wireless tether, hulu, and Angry Birds. When I first got my evo the Iphone people would eventually default back to "I got angry birds" since that was the only thing their phone could do that mine couldn't. I suppose you could show them qik even though it sucks, it is definatly going to be the future of phone callls.
