So I realized the other day that the aria and hd mini have a lot of the same specs and hardware and look pretty much identical. Do you think it would be possible to port an hd mini rom onto the aria? Are there any you guys would recommend?
no no no
NO. It isn't so easy. First we must have the boot of double systems,and we need the drivers of android...so it needs someone who has deep knowledge to discover...

I am planning to sell my HTC Touch HD and hop on HTC Hero. Reasons are, I want to start using Android in my daily life ASAP, and the new HTC Sense is what I really need and wanted. Widgets, 7 window "pages", and the "scene" is also very useful feature.
On the other hand, I also think about keeping my HTC Touch HD, and wait until some Android comes on nVidia Tegra or 1ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon?
Well, discuss!
To be honest, I love the Touch HD (even after switching to the iPhone - and back) but the Hero looks really nice.
It's a bit less "professional" because of Android, but if you don't depend on features like full Exchange support or voice command, I'd say the Hero is clearly the best device on the market now (of course depending on your needs).
There are some phones with better hardware, like the Samsung i8910, but unfortunately, they run Symbian. The Hero has great hardware and great software, and both the hardware and the software are better than what Apple has to offer.
On the other hand, the HTC Leo/SuperStar should arrive within just a few months. Though the Hero is nice, it could be woth waiting (after all, the Touch HD is still a great device).
Same here !
I'm going to do the same. Android and Sense are the future of the HTC devices. I'm gonna miss my HD because of its gigantic display and resolution. If HD had a capacitive display, I would stick with it. I can admit that HD is the first device I loved using and it's mostly because of Dutty's lovely and fast roms. I have ordered my Hero and I will send some pictures of it as soon as I receive the phone.
By the way mates, is it true that the processor on Hero (and HTC Leo/SuperStar) is a dual core processor?
No, the Hero uses the same processor as the Touch HD, and the Leo/SuperStar will have the nVidia Tegra Chip (which is about twice as fast, in theory, and has great 3D and video acceleration - but I never found the Touch HD to be too slow).
It does look nice. I only hope it actually works like the movie I just downloaded from the HTC site. It's available in just about two weeks time in UK. Can anybody tell me how it would sync with PC or even better Mac? Is it Google sync only?

Hello, I've got some questions for blackstone's owners :
- Are you "happy" with this phone ?
- Is it missing something for you ?
- What the best for you ? A Blackstone or a HERO (android) ?
- Do you know if HTC will release an official Windows Mobile 6.5 for it ??
I'm thinking of changing my Nike, and the HD looks great.
Wait for the HD2
If there is one thing lacking in the original HD, its that the CPU just isn't fully suited to drive a large display like the HD has.
In the HD 2, the Snapdragon is used, which isn't only much faster frequency wise, its also a new generation of ARM which has more pipes and instructions.
Clock per clock the new ARM CPU's can be seen as anywhere between 2 and 4 times faster.
At a clockrate considerably higher then the HD's 500+ (snapdragon is 1Ghz), the performance difference will be immense.
Calculate into that that Windows Phone (6.5) is considerably faster on the HD then 6.1 and you'll have the HD2 being an absolute monster.
I'm very happy with my HD, I have full freedom to do with it what I want, I can use all the apps that I need and want and I still prefer a Windows Mobile phone over anything else, because it has so much history and apps that have been around for a long time.
I love the Hero, simply drool over the design, but its said to be slow, even with Android.
So if you want Android, wait for the Touch HD2's mirror set that runs android.
The HD is a year old device, so buying it now, might give you a nice price, but there is a new generation of hardware coming out now which is leaps and bounds ahead of everything even half a year ago.
The HD's hardware's basis is still the same as a TYTN2, the CPU is a bit faster but the display is much higher resolution.
Yeah I know about the HD2 ... but I don't want to buy a new one .
I'm looking for an used one, so cheaper ...
The HD2 will be to expessive for me !!
All these questions have been asked many times before. I see no need to ask again. We have threads on android, hd vs hd2, will hd get wm6.5, are you happy with hd etc etc etc

r u sure you don't mean the HD2?
Either it be the hd or hd2, they are both in a different league from the touch2. The hd and hd2 are multimedia beasts with incredibly capable hardware, while the touch2 is designed and marketed to be a midrange phone.
No I meant HD
Well if HD offer more in term of graphic power I am still ok with touch 2 but just hope that the support and community for it just grows as strong as for HD!!!
so guys, its been announced....the hd2 has been shrunk down in size. what are your thoughts?, do you new hd2 owners wish you had waited a while longer or are you happy with your king sized phone?.personally, id have got the larger model anyway, after owning a hd2(original) id never , or at least hope i never have to downsize again.is this new smaller size aimed for the ladies....? lol
http://www.htc.com/uk/product/hdmini/overview.html
HD2 > HD Mini.
I would like a smaller HD2 though, with a 4-inch screen or something. Even 3.8-inch. Because using the HD2 with a single hand is a little bit to much work..
But the HD Mini goes TO far. 3.2 inch screen is to small.
it is not the same. slower cpu, less ram. what makes You think it's the same but smaller???
old news, I posted about this yesterday...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634015
like the look but the HD2 owns it!!!
and my big question with this is....
why id it called a touch "HD" mini when sht screen is far from HD...
i know some will read that wrong and say that the hd2 isnt 720p or 1080p HD and all that but i mean in the broadest terms..
High Defenition... is HVGA High Defenition? me thinks not lol.

I agree... less screen, less cpu, less RAM, less ROM, hd2 mini? more of a hd1 mini.....
Well, it is called HTC HD mini, not HTC HD2 mini ...
Never heard of a WinMo HVGA device before... is this new in 6.5.3? If so, what about app compatibility? How many apps work on this new resolution?
Why make an HD-mini, when it is not much different from the Diamond2?
HD-Mini: more memory, slightly faster processor.
Diamond2: Better screen resolution.
Found some interesting stuff here, for example it is running WinMo build 23101.
I like my hd2 very much, why make it mini.
For those who like mini, take a mini
kk

What is the dude in the video even doing? I got so angry at him watching the first ~2 minutes that I just couldn't continue.
Noticed the start button is not present anymore.... (Since there is a start button and back already i assumed so no need to have them on the softkeys)only 2 softkeys on the taskbar each time... cleaner look i think. better than the 6.5.3 currently which would have 5 softkey biuttons most of the time... anybody know how we can do this???
hope i never have to downsize...but it seem the hd2 will be the last big phone..i hope not..
hello everybody,
i know that there was an similar thread half a year ago, but i think that the time changed the knowlegde about it.
i know too, that the blackstone doesn't meet the requirements for WP7, because there are more than three buttons on it.
the rom developers would surely find a way to get this still working, wouldn't they?
thanks for reply,
apo
hope so it can be developed
but it would be like running window 7 with pentium 3
Come on guy. WM6.5 is laggy already on Blackstone, what do you think about WM7 hardware specs 1Ghz at least 'd give???
That WM6.5 seem to be laggy on the Blackstone is in my opinion already a myth. On my old Qtec2020 ran WM6.5 without (any) Problem and on my Blackstone is it like a dream.
Ok, the performance schould be laggy but for the kids here is WM7 like a new toy
Thanks here for all the devs which spend so much time for progging,
and thanks for all the wifes which spend so less time with their husbands...
SPOOKY
WM7 won't be able to run properly on the HD, mainly as you need a capacitive screen which the HD hasn't got. You may eventually get some parts of it working, but it would be like running Windows XP on the Spectrum. They just aren't compatible so would never function properly

Well, if we could overclock HD, it would run without any trouble. Also HD needs proper 3d drivers.
Capacitive screen isn't really needed, most functions can be ported to work on resistive screens too. How about east countries where write recognition is a must?
What we really need, is a group of talented developers.
