that nexus one is looking real sexy ::mouth waters::
don't know if it'll come to sprint this year or not, I suppose there is a hope if it goes to big red.
I'll probably pick up a hero with a bad esn in the summer after more android phones come out for sprint and it gets cheap, and swap the esn with an old phone I've got and run it on my sero plan. it'll be the trusty old vogue-droid until then.

I don't think that I could own a non-htc device after being spoiled for so long with my vogue, so that knocks the moto droid out I've seen more than one report saying this spring for Nexus 1 on Verizon so hopefully there's no funny business lol.. T-mobiles offering it for 179.00 on new contract but I bet it's 299.99 at least on VZW with upgrade.

Isn't this the dude who got pissed off with Android on a daily basis, and swore on a weekly basis that he was never going to use Android again? I can't sleep and decided to check out things on the Vogue forum since I've been gone. Good to see fixxxer2008's still providing entertainment.
Also, although I can't make calls with it, I've still got my Vogue. I think I'll try a NAND flash on it just to see how everyone's hard work has been paying off.

HD2 at launch - need advice!

Hello all..long time android user here (G1 User), and I'm going to be buying 2 HD2's come the 24th (BOGO!!)...now, question is - what are the chances of seeing Android running on this beautiful device?
I know WM6.5 is a stable/mature operating system, unfortunately I'm very used to the Android UI, but would love to have the HD2's drool-inducing hardware (as opposed to say, a Nexus One) running 2.1 or higher.
I feel odd buying a new device that already reached the end of its development road (software-wise), and seeing as Android is frequently updated for/improved..well there's not much contest
Thanks!

Check the Android development thread, in the ROM development section.

It'll be atleast a year before there's a nearly fully functional Android... few months probably before theres a basic port we can begin to play with.

Say you want the bogo deal. You need to have 2 lines to get it.

You need to either start 2 new lines with the 25$/Month smartphone data plan, or have two fully eligible lines for upgrade.

Good News for people in the USA....

I just wanted to let everyone know in the USA that Sprint is releasing the new HTC Evo which is basically an HTC HD2 with a few upgrades and runs Android instead of Windows Mobile. I personally have the Telstra HD2 running on AT&T and love it and I would have got the T-Mobile version except that the T-Mobile coverage is horrible where I live and in many other parts of the country it is extremely poor as well. The Telstra HD2 also doesnt support some 3G bands that AT&T uses, I was lucky enough to live in an area which it does.
I am only mentioning this because its another option for people here in the USA to get a device like the HD2 with a few upgrades and running Android if thats something you want. I am thinking about switching because I am a tech Junky. I swear I am never satisfied!!!

I think everyone is aware of this

I doubt everyone because I just found out a few days ago and I tend to keep myself fairly up to date on stuff like this.

Maybe you need better sources that don't display 2-3months old news. BTW, there's a big thread on the EVO 4G a couple pages back

Lol, I just came to this topic just to see if anyone would slam you, I was right.
It happens though it is reasonable enough to note that you are probably right, there are people that would still not know about it. Thank you for notifying us!

The second poster is right.
Everyone knows.

You lucky bastards.. i live in europe.. and we will never get the EVO4

I just love the fact that people come in here just to bash me... I expected people to bash me but its not like I care; I personally have better things to do than lurk around looking for people to pick on for no reason. I just wanted to point it out for anyone that didn't already know. I am sure there will be a few people who were happy to be informed about it.

Don't bother, EVO4 has nothing much in general than HD2 ! Even Sprint doesn't have that 4G network yet

maybe work will start on porting winmo to evo

Pretty much this. I have a sprint overdrive (3g/4g) from work and use it when im going off-site and being that I'm in SoCal (pretty big market), I'll be lucky if it even locks on to 4G. It's a good marketing tool, but to ask people to pay an extra $10/mo for 4G when the coverage is minuscule at best..is a bit outlandish. But hey, in a year or so, 4G has to compete with HSPA+ and LTE, so don't lose sleep over data speed if you're one of those people.

Yeah, I'm sure most people on this forum are well aware of the EVO. Most people on xda keep pretty up to date. I don't know how the OP just found out... even my brother, who has no real interest in phones or gadgets, knows about it. Plus this is the HD2 section... there's no reason to post about this in the HD2 section. There is already an EVO section on xda, I believe.

people.. tone down.. keep it clean and friendly.. the man was sharing some info.. let it be.. no harm no foul..

EVO has been found to eat battery faster than HD2 due to 4G high-speed... Do not buy it...

At the earliest most likely... patience Lil grasshopper

samsung is holding an event on the 16th to show off the media hub on the galaxy s phones and to show off some new models. I'd expect them to make an official announcement then since they've been rather quiet recently.

Some tmo rep said the same thing. End of this month. He also had to mention the g2 end of this month too. Kinda wondered should have I waited

eh, the G2 isn't much of an upgrade over the slide so I'd say you made the right choice.

Well with verizon's version of the galaxy s out, i think there is nothing to hold a massive upgrade to all versions back.

given that the tab is going to be running froyo real soon, the galaxy s phones shouldn't be that far behind. in fact, i think they should get the update first, but hey, what do i know

is this the latest update we'll get? will we be getting 3.0?

considering the number of devices sold, we'll probably get 3.0

Gingerbread would be great and a good pr move on the part of samsung. My expectation is low though simply because they will want people to buy new phones. Gingerbread will be an easy upgrade too because out would be vanilla with touchwiz and widgets being addons. The Tab has similar hardware and it may get it, making a custom ROM likely.

ugh. i hope not. the galaxy s is pretty much future proof for the time being, as it smokes any snapdragons out there. if samsung doesn't want their flagship phone to sink, they will thoroughly support it

Me too. Samsung known for their bad support for older models !
For example Samsung Omnia they stopped supporting the device after 1 year only !! NO WM6.5 !!
HTC is way better in supporting old mobiles !

Last I checked, Samsung hasn't actually offered a phone to 100 carriers around the planet, including all 4 US national carriers.
As long as a single large American carrier demands the next version of Android, we ALL will get it.

I don't see the connection between froyo and the gps fix. If it was an android fix then we should have a fix already, I expect it is firmware based.

Im thinking this is also true, which leads me to think that this phone is going to be pretty damn awesome after 2.2. Then again this could just be wishful thinking...
Just wondering how the GalaxyS community is going to react if 2.2 isn't 100% PERFECT.... :grabs popcorn:

mmmm popcorn.... mmmm (visits microwave...)
anyone whining bout the gps fix needs to check out rooting and flashing eugenes vibrant 9 rom, ive made this comment like 15 times buuuuuut. i get a lock within 10meters in only 10 seconds with the gps on and the cell tower assist feature on. no nead to play around in Lbstestmode menus just turn on location settings in the menu open maps and find "my location"... and this is inside my apartment....
I cant wait for ALL the bonuses in 2.2 like flash and included wifi tethering but do we really need to make a million threads about it??? lol

Tmobile G2 is done but lets keep this going!

Honestly guys. Lets keep this support going regardless! Too many awesome developers giving us great things. donate. do anything possible for them. It's sad that T-Mobile decided after 7 months.. to just end a device that actually was a GREAT device. And honestly should be kept around for longer than that. (I'm sure a lot of us paid 250.00 for it with 2 year contract) I hope as a loving XDA Developer member and many others we can keep this going. I'm rather concerned what will happen in the future with this device on the development side of things. It's a good device and I know in the world of technology things to age very very fast. but maybe we can keep this around for longer than t mobile wants..
Much respect.. XDA guy dude of sorts.

This belongs in general.

Yes it does. But why not let the developers see this? I'd like to hear most of the developers opinions..

Because this is not what the developer forum is for and I really doubt devs are going to pack up and ship out because T-Mo isn't retailing the phone anymore.

I agree and hope this is the case. There are already a ton of us with the G2/DZ and it isn't a big deal if they take it off the shelves. All of you who have it now can just keep it going. I realize the concern with warranty replacement and such, but other than that I see no reason why this is such a big deal. We all know it's a fantastic device, who cares if T-mo doesn't realize that and discontinues it. Our DZ's still will most likely get the software updates you G2 owners won't get, and the DZ version can just be rooted and put on your G2's. There's no reason to freak out and buy a new phone if you have the G2.

The T-mobile G2 is still going to get the Gingerbread update....just wanted to throw that out there.

you guys should check out the g1 forums. a few of the devs there still update ocasionally. I don't think development for this device will stop anytime soon (however the g1 did have lots of small developers as opposed to just a few big ones)
