Bye bye HD2, hello iPhone!

Had enough of the HD2 now, and after playing with iPhones recently I have reaslised I made the wrong choice. The UI is just so much more intuitive, ok I have to wait till July for OS 4.0 for multi-tasking but who cares

bye!

and whats the reason for this information?

Good luck lapping at Steve's heels. You are correct in that the iphone OS is more immediately user friendly but the HD2 & winmo offer much more that iphone OS can. Good luck with that, oh and it still wont be true multi-tasking

This.
I made the exact OPPOSITE move.
I've owned the 3GS ever since it came out and for the past few months before I sold it it bored me to death. There's very little I can do with it, and once I realized I don't really play mobile games, the decision to sell it became very easy. I like my HD2 a lot more -- more customizable, and more powerful. Plus the small screen of the iPhone (resolution-wise) was grating.

great news for somebody who wants a second hand leo, not everybody affords a new one
godspeed and be happy man

I think we should start a thread 'Show your iPhone today screens here' and see how many posts there will be

I'm not saying I have proof. Thats exactly it, it just feels better for some reason. The texting, the scrolling, the fact that there is no ghastly looking WinMo hiding underneath.

Ah man... just joining the rest of the sheep. There are too many identical Iphone users about! BE INDIVIDUAL!

People who don't want to invest time in a more versatile phone should buy an iPhone, but they will get less for more. And don't expect the iPhone to be perfect, because it's not, it's that's what Apple's marketing machine will try to tell you, but don't count on it to work flawless.

Yeah well I had the iPhones before and I would never change my HD2 for them!
Youre making a 2008 expired move but good luck on that!
And get ur credit card ready to pass through the App Store because apart from that, there's nothing attractive about the apple anymore....

If you would like to donate to starving tech hungry kids, please send unwanted HD2's . . . to me, I'll be sure they get them >.>

wow you have bought a phone without features that my Sony Ericsson p800 could do before the Iphone was even thought of LMAO

4000 colour screen, symbian OS and 16Mb memory? Not sure what iPhone you have been looking at...

aww... we have a apple fanboy who is just desperate for attention..... the only iPhone that stands a competitive chance of usability... is the iPhone 4g... and even then... a lot of those features haven't been confirmed... but hey.. to each his own eh? have fun with a locked down device... leave the hd2 to the people who can handle it...

I feel for you, and I am comming to the rescue
Man this is by far the most exciting message I've ever read on this board. You so right, get rid of that sh*ty no good for anything.
Actually, I feel so strongly about your misery that I feel compelled to help you out. I will make you this irresistible offer of US$100 to get it off your hands, fast!!
Hey, don't thank me, just want to put in my 2 cents and help out a member in distress.
Kind regards,

Hardly an Apple fan boy having never owned a Mac or an iPhone before. Is there any need for a comment like that?
Saved alot of cash after being away for some time so thought i'd spend it on something i feel works better. Handle it? It's a phone for christs sake, wake up

Web OS and Palm

So I was sitting on the train thinking and I realized that if it wasn't for palms weird phone designs I wouldn't mind a web OS phone. Don't misunderstand I'm not saying anything about switching and not liking my phone it was just a thought O_O

Omg keep those sacrilegious thoughts to yourself. Lol jokes.
I agree webos does look quite nice.
I would like to have a play with it. And yes palm phone designs aren't really very good imo
Sent from my X10a using XDA App

webOS is pretty awesome OS.....too bad it wasnt a company like HTC that bought palm. HTC hardware + WebOS would have been awesome

I agree ,if HTC hardware had WebOS then i think big things could have happened. But then i reckon with HP backing it ther could be some good times ahead for WebOS 2 as long as it happens very soon .... being an old palm freak then i would welcome it and would seriously think about buying a handset even outside of contract if its good enough .... but it would have to be good to take away from the android and iphone market and it may be too late ??? whats all your views ????

i convinced my somehow technologically inept boss to buy one, and she totally loves it. especially the size of the phone, its definitely a lady phone, kinda like the mini pro.
web os is freaking great, especially the way it does mutli-tasking, its very elegant. but the pre is just way to small a phone for me. and the keyboard is not palms best ever. im also an old palm junkie

Windows 7=Xbox Android=Ps3

since windows phone 7 works well with Xbox, dont you guys think sony should do the same thing with their phone+android!!!

Apple too.

google normally does software though so im not so sure they would build a console anytime soon. some of the only hardware they "built" was the nexus one and that failed commercially.

Failed EPICALLY! I'm dropping my Evo for a winmo7 phone BUT only when the phone has a healthy amount of android roms on it like the hd2. I have the hd2 and surpisingly enough, NO sense rom (i've tried every single sense 2.2 rom for the evo on this site) runs as SMOOTHLY and as quickly as on the hd 2.
To get the speed of my hd 2 on my evo, I have to flash CM6. Kinda sad

now that i think though, anybody can throw together the hardware of a computer, its just a computer really. im not sure if we need another console though.

I honestly don't see what Microsoft is trying to accomplish with windo 7 phones... What's the purpose of playing xbox 360 games on a cell phone?
Is it me, or does it make absolutely no sense... cell phone gaming is supposed to be casual and just a "spare time" kind of thing, not hardcore call of duty stuff...
If they really wanted to enter the cell phone scheme, then they are much better off teaming up with android or ios and working out some sort of collaboration, because in all honesty android and ios pretty much have it on lock. Their just isn't much room for another... Or they could have made a hand held like the PSP...
I will bite my tongue if windo 7 phones prove to be successful and if somehow Microsoft miraculously manages to get the phones battery to run even half a day....
Just my 2 cents. Please don't start bashing. I have been keeping up with windo 7 phones since they were announced a little over a year ago and I just wanted to get how stupid I think it was out of my system.......
But who knows, this time next year chances are that I might be playing Call of Duty: ModernWarefare blackops II while taking a sht on the toilet...

If WM7 is as stable as Android, and has groundbreaking features id consider using it, but I have a feeling its just going to be a polished 6.5. I would like to see a WM7 port to the EVO just so I could try it out before I purchase a phone and be stuck with it for the next 4-6 months.
Also gaming phones didn't seem to make it in the past, like the N-guage and there was another phone I saw that had a ATI chip in it, but never went mainstream.

Windows Phone has a lot more going for it than just gaming.
First of all, gaming is definitely big. As a iPhone user I can see this. I don't even game much, but its hard to ignore the fact that the iPhone is slowly over taking mobile gaming share. MS with Xbox Live integration has a even better oppurtunity here.
Second, MS/WP 7 has the Zune software. Android sucks when it comes to media playback, so does blackberry, and even though I haven't used WebOS much, I'm lumping it in this sub par group as well. The iPhone/iPod is pretty much in another league, and the Zune software is as good or better than it.
Third, WP 7 has real and pretty good Office intergration. Might not be a big deal to you but it'll be big with business users. I don't have to deal with it much anymore but early on in my business I had a WM phone and I used excel all the time.
There's still a lot that needs to be improved but in a pool of similar OSs (Android/iOS/WebOS/Blackberry), WP feels different enough and offers enough for it to gain traction and serve a purpose.

Goodbye guys! :( ....i got a Blackberry now

Request Mods to delete this thread.....shouldnt have made it.
Got a Blackberry Bold finally...and decided to try it for a while and loving it!...
its painful for browsing and other cool fun purposes but for a communication device...it is highly efficient
for Messaging, Emails, Phone, Simple Applications, typing and Battery life...it is far superior
i am able to hear the other party very clearly, searching and dialing a contact is extremely fast with OS 6.0 ....and it lasts 2 days with no charge with heavy usage too.
loving the Blackberry Messenger...all friends are on it.
I still have the xperia X10i lying with me at home...i use it to play games or browse internet when using toilet....but as a phone..it is a headache & highly unreliable due to poor battery life and low call volume and slow dialing interface.
battery life is most important for me......and even with 1Ghz processor..Xperia x10i still feels more sluggish than a Blackberry.
So goodbye to android platform for a while
it was a happy journey from Android 1.6 to Android 2.1 with dual-touch!

grosss.....
I owned two blackberrys and they were the biggest pieces of garbage I ever had the displeasure of owning...
Constant freezing, clocking and battery pulls... Have fun with that.. lol
Not to mention the screen resolution, ram, and processor speed is about 5 years outdated

Lol... constant freezing with blackberry? never heard of it. it wont make sense for a phone with most highest sales in history of America to have a sluggish interface. i guess u just dint knew how to run it well.
and there was no point of telling people that u changed to blackberry. and android is basically for people who needs max customization and features.
and seems like you just need stable phone with minimal features and high battery life , so i suppose blackberry and apple are good for you.
and i have to blame that slow sluggish-ness of x10 on its platform it came out with. 1.6 .. it was utterly pathetic slow . It has no comparison to 2.2 and 2.3 .
try to get hands on any android with 2.3 . you will love it .
customization + speed= awesomeness. no wonder android has top share mobile world market now. followed by blackberry.

Ehhh i was going to get a blackberry when I went to bestbuy, but walked out with my xperia and loved it since then!
But I would love a newer phone, especially one with updated OS lol but my xperia will do for now.

Strange everyone I know had the same issues...
A major one was the screen would turn white for no reason and the only way to fix it was to pull the battery. They take FOREVER to boot up too.
It is getting around in north america about the poor quality, hence why it is losing ground so fast.

I think you took a step backwards

The only Way i will buy a Blackberry is for the BBM, Here in Guatemala is like a desease! lol everyone is getting a BlackBerry because of their BBM.... But wait, i heard RIM is planning to make BBM cross platform (Android and iOS), so no way i´m buying that slow piece of phone....

i love android..its my fav OS ever...some apps made my life so much easier.
and overall i had fun with x10i
i just dont find x10i very reliable as my primary phone
i was once stuck outside my house without a key for 15 mins because it wouldnt let me make calls to my brother....had to restart it 3 times.
i was once stuck on the streets at 7 am in the morning on new years eve because X10i's battery died and i couldnt call a cab.
as a phone or a communication device..x10i fails.
as a multimedia device for gaming, browsing and Apps..its great....its fun.
i ll get a 3g sim card for x10i to use it for browsing ...
or maybe wait for newer android phones.
there are SOOO many new android phones out there now.

so far my Blackberry Bold 9700 with OS 6 hasnt frozen even once.
and it has no bugs....and even 15 yr old girls use it without complaining.
it is not as advanced as android...but it is highly reliable.
browsing and gaming kinda sucks on blackberry though.

I just wonder, why people come to this forum and write something like "Hahaha, i just gote something, goodbye X10 users"? I congratulate you, i understand, that some people don't like this phone, but why needed to tell us this? Do you really think, that after this topic everybody will run to buy other phone? Sorry for my bad English

you will be back lol

Well my x10 hadn't given me any if the issues you talk about either...
Comparing the two on battery life is just retarded. That's like comparing a porsche to a toyota tercel and wondering why it takes more gas...
Look at the screen, the processor, the display, the complexity of the os...
nevertheless, I get a day our of mine easy, and put it on the charger when I go to bed. Why anyone needs more than a day is beyond me, you won't be using the phone while you're sleeping anyway.
Blackberrys are losing favor fast. I have never seem a company fall from grace so quickly.don't you wonder why?

Blackberries have traditionally had issues with looking modern and acting modern. They perform quite well in a corporate environment, and that's where they should be relegated to, IMO. Everything else apart from email and BB messaging on the BB sucks goat balls.
I've seen dozens of people vying for a BB device secretly, and not so secretly. I was part of the admin group responsible for rolling out BB's across upper management in our firm in about 2005. We actually bought our own copy of BBES and added additional encryption methods. I've seen people drop their perfectly fine (at that time) Nokias etc. for buying BB's of their own to get the device configured for corporate email, just so they could flaunt it like some magical device.
I never really understood the appeal of those devices with their retro bulky designs and their weird aspect ratio screens. In black and white. BB has added color ever since and some of their designs are better than before. But....
I still don't understand the appeal.
Damn.

such a great hardware and platform wasted because of crippling bugs
For applications blackberry is really pathetic...but for communication..BlackBerry is the best...

I actually owned a Blackberry prior to getting the X10.
What ultimately prompt me to get a new phone through an early HUP was because of several issues including the random reboots with the white screen of death and bluetooth not working with one unit right when i received it. I did 3 warranty replacements until i had enough and just outright asked for an early HUP from Rogers. Most people i know suffered from the white screen of death and constant reboots with a range of Blackberries.
However it was a good messaging device and i'll give you that. It's best suited in the corporate world which most of us noted.

Why i think it sux owning an SGS2!

It sucks that i think my SGS2 is perfect as it is stock.No more spending hours here on XDA to see if someone finally made that rom,that makes my phone better.I remember the day´s when i had an HTC Diamond,funky little fone but kinda not what i had expected.Suddenly u could flash Windows Mobile 6.5 and the fone was like new!
Any1 else feeling the same?

got mine friday and spend this afternoon getting rid of the samsung crapware; this is my 6th android phone so i know what I use and what I want.
It surely was the easiest phone to alter; just had a few minutes to get used of odin but that was it!
Now waiting for cyanogenmod (my pref. by far) to get the flashing madness starting again

Ye i kind of miss it. Had a trinity and the Touch pro 2 both were pritty much unuasble stock after a few weeks. But the SG ii is just awsome, actually usable as a reliable phone lol

True, true. I've flashed my HTC Hero and Desire till the end with the newest of the newest roms.
I loved MIUI and Cyanogen, and anything else out of the ordinary. I just can't wait until these come to the SGSII (including a nice and easier recovery like Amonra or cwr). I just want to try the roms to see how they perform. I won't use MIUI that long, since I hate it's not available in my language.

Can't wait for the storm of custom roms this phone will have in the future

Show them flash and then troll them whilst they quote (their messiah) Steve Jobs and shrug their shoulders.
It's what I would do.
OR show them:
widgets (even though this may come in iOS - Android's are/will be far better)
numerous homescreens
various launchers
4.3" screen
Super AMOLED Plus
(the metaphorical) epic growth of Android Market
the thinness - 8.49mm - (UMAD iPhone user?)
do I need to continue!

The sgs1 was definitely a victim of this. The sgs2 not so much.

i wudnt know how the sg1 fared since I didnt own it...sg2 is my first samsung...

Meh, I pulled my phone out to show it to a friend who is a die hard Apple fan. His immediate reaction was, "Wow, look at how big that screen is". Never once was their mention made of the resemblance of an iPhone.
As for the battery comment, go troll in another thread. There's only 1275838234 threads for battery whining.

No way. Everyone has been asking me about my phone. Same response of "Wow, so much nicer than the iphone 4"
So far no mistaken identity. Lol

You could say they look similar and they are in that:
they are rectangular (this is very rare on smartphones)
they are black - THIS IS EVEN more rare
it's slimmer = Steve Jobs is mad.
And yes the home button. But my Desire has 5 buttons. 4 are a "dull-er" silver and the middle button is a really nice circular patterned metal sliver - it's the button you see immediately over the others.
If you look at windows phones, they have the windows key which is centred with 2 other buttons around it.
GSII has a centre button that's rectangular, surrounded by two other buttons.
So yes they are similar, but they're also similar to many other phones.
Jobs clearly has a problem with the fact that the GSII bridges that gap (on looks) between "A chunky, but extremely powerfull" which only certain people get (who don't mind the looks) and the "sleek, slim look" that appeals to the common consumer.
It's exactly what Apple did many years ago, they combined power with looks and an "image" for the phone.
(I'm saying this because I speak from personal experience seeing as I had an N80, and N95) Absolute BEASTS but they were insanely chunky, but I really didn't care.)

this is my first android device. Ive recently defected from nokia after a long relationship with symbian and more recently maemo. But its gone all wrong at nokia. wp7 devices, no os support, just community support (not such a bad thing) and Tech which is 2 years out of date. Was going to hold out for a n950/n9 but thats old tech and would prob be going against the sgs3. Plus they have dumped intel and left meego going no where.....
Im happy ive jumped ship now...
This phone is very much a king of phones. I love it, only had it a couple of days and im fascinated.
Huge wins for samsung and android

the other problem with this Samsung is 'we have no idea what kind of updates they have made and compare to Htc they are not helping people to see it,they just say UPDATE and thats it,Htc always show the updates of what kind of bugs they have fixed and anything else' for shure this is my last time i buy from Samsung,hopefuly next year when my contract finishes there will be more competitions
