HI All,
I was looking for an armband for my fuze, but i couldnt find any, But i found this from best buy:
DLO - Action Jacket for Microsoft Zune - Black
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...+zune&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1201307261097
This fits the fuze perfectly!! I tried 3-4 other kinds of armbands, trying to find a perfect one. This one is def worth the money.
I hope this helps anyone that is looking for an armband.
I am also using this with a motorla s9-hd and its a perfect combo for running, lifting, or any workout!

THANX for the link...Did you get the S-9HD's for a good price?
I got the s9-hd for 80 bucks at a local frys. It is def worth it.
Nice find. I've been leaving mine in my backpack.
I'm wondering about other Zune accessories...

Im almost positive that is the same one I got on ebay but it is red. It actually works for the Fuze pretty well. I am satisfied with it. If I think when I get home, I will look at it more closely and see if its identical.
Yeah, that's the same one. Its a pretty snug fit but its very stretchy so its almost perfect. It works very well for me.
Ok, thanks, now I just need to find a store that ships to Belgium

why don't you head over to the tweak thread. lotta things hidden you might want. like gps photos. extra camera modes etc. etc.
Congrats on getting the HD2 mate!
I recommend Experiment 13 game its a really good laugh!
I love playing about with Shazam as well, always using it when a random song comes on in a movie and i want to know who sings it!
but i'm still new myself and learning what apps are best!
Congratulation from my side as well ;-)

Don't be shy. just try everything you think it might be of any use to you. Take a note of your favourites and then go for a hard reset once you think you have the baby there where you need it to be. Then go for all your favs.
You will have a bunch of fun ;-)
Cheers,

I would recommend fpsece, a playstation one emulator. this app just simply rox. http://www.fpsece.net/ donators version is even better - multitouch and save state.
Thanks dudes will take a look!!!
I've seen shazam on the iPhone so would like to get that for my HD2!
Hi Folks,
I've just ordered mine with the Virgin UK offer. Should arrive tomorrow
I will no doubt be an active member of the forum.

ADC (Yateley, UK)
welcome to the forum then...
Hey mate, I just got mine too. I'm also on Vodafone. Would I be right in saying you signed up as a business customer?
Any chance you've figured out how to update the firmware, because Vodafone haven't released an update yet..?
Hey Tuffy,
I got mine from Phones4U for Free (24 month contract tho!!)
I signed up on HTC.com for e-club and they release ROM updates on there dude.
I installed Experiment 13... Got it from freeware pocket pc, its pretty sweet game for free!!
if you install core player you will dont need a converter for the most of video formats!!
Ooohhh cool! ty

Unless your video is over 1008 pixels wide.... unfortunately core player won't support that and you need to encode it at a lower size
Is there an equivalent xda forum app like the one for Android
Is flash actually any good on the browser? BBC player work?
Many thanks guys
Oh and battery life average? Is there an extended battery available?
Cheers in advance

Hi mate,
before i get stoned for this, just a reminder that this is MY point of view, i am not writing this to start a discussion, simply someone asked a question !

this is very open to discussion, like you asked which one is better? blonde, brunette or redheaded ?
until you dont try, you wont know. personaly as my signature says, i stuck with this rom, as i found 2-3 more promissing and better fit my needs, but the chefs were so ignorant, and were not ready to help for few obvious bugs, i gave up on tham.

for myself, battery last from one morning till next day night. not turning it off. hspda always on, mail checking every 10mins, weather download 30mins, average 30sms/day, and using it for business, so the phone calls are something to count on .. and i use the original battery. i also found some chinese batteries on ebay, that are same size, but more capacity.
hope this gave you some new info.
cheers

hmm im going from a desire to a hd2 there has to be some thought taken
HD2 is a handset iv always looked at with slight envy, plus iv never done any development work on winmo so its something i can learn with
off to pick one up!
will report back shortly!
Best Rom, see here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700513 .Have edited first post.
Moving this to General.

i'd say hd2, is a matured and stable hardware platform. you can find a lot of good roms here thanks to the ever skillful chefs; and even if you're not a huge fan of winmobile, there is a lot of good developers here and out there looking for ways to port it into android, and perhaps winmob7? The possibilities are endless, why hesitate?
I'm thinking of buying the HTC HD2 but is there much point now, if it won't be getting updated and newer and better phones are coming out?
I'm looking at it as it has the biggest screen(besides the streak which im also considering, but much more expensive)
What would you suggest?

if you actually like winmo as it is, with the way windows phone 7 is shaping up the hd2 could become a very valuable antique.

What has been your phone history? And what do you use or intend using the phone for?
WM, iphone and android suit different ppl and WP7 looks weird imho...
well if you have the patient to wait until the end of 2010 or so, just wait. i didn't have or why don't you try Evo?

Over the last couple of years, ive only used the bold 9000, HTC Desire and iPhone 4, however i sent back the iphone 4 as the ui is getting very boring.
I use the phone more for texts and internet than phone, i primarily want to use it for web browsing, thats why the streak appealed to me, but this is cheaper, im just worried about updates, and the lack of official support after WP7

I can't wait until the end of 2010 i have no phone at present lol. Also im in the UK so the Evo is a no go otherwise i would definitely have it.
if you like bets, get one now.
If the bet goes well, you will buy a "cheap" device which will get a fully functional froyo OS on it when the android devteam has completed the job, and be almost at the level of the Evo, without its bulkiness... and before the thing goes out and the demand increases, making the prices go higher.
If the bet goes bad, you still get a cheap but powerful device with WM on it
Anyway, given my experience with the device, and the market which is available for italy, I would get it again now as well.

Try before you buy my friend.
I've been using winmo for years and I love it. The HD2 is my favorite device yet.
Winmo users generally love to tweak. These forums make tweaking fun and you can usually get whatever you need, want and more for your phone if you're willing to search for it.
That being said, some find winmo and the HD2 an utter frustration. Some lament about buying the HD2 because it doesn't do everything right out of the box.
So if you like to customise, tweak and experiment, you may just love the HD2.
If you like something that works to it's full potential right out of the box, but may not be quite so custimisable and tweakable, perhaps another platform would be better.
i really NEVER recommend ppl a windows phone.. except i know that he can handle it.
i dont know u, so i would recommend android
u NEED to know what u do when u are using winmo, or u will hate it
The more I read about WM7, the more I am glad I have a WM6.5 phone, and I'm not planning to 'upgrade' to such a locked down platform.

I love tweaking, which is another reason for considering this phone, and which is why i got rid of the iPhone 4.
I love the idea of registry tweaks, which may sound weird, and i also love the idea of a winmo device being just like windows on the pc (regarding registry tweaks).
And regarding having everything work out of the box, i find that very boring, im always looking to do new things with a phone.
The only problem i am seeing is the future updates, looking at Android they are going to have constant updates, but obviously winmo 6.5 is not. however if i know that winmo will be getting unofficial updates from devs etc i will be more than happy to buy the HD2.
Thanks for all the replies so far.
Ok, i went ahead and bought a HD2, hopefully i'll enjoy it.
Please post your experiences with the phone.
And how much did you grab it for? US or non?
if you need big screen then definitely go for hd2. i was in your position. but screen size was a dealbreaker. had there one android phone with screen as big as this, i wouldn't have bought hd2

Yes, the screen was probably the main reason for buying this phone.

i have to say i agree about the screen.. i have a hd2 and my friend got a desire soon after me.. the screen estate difference is just HUGE...
and i recently ran the android test build side by side with his phone screen beside mine.. the difference just got worse coz the widget icons are much smaller in android compared to the quick link icons in winmo..

Awesome, i cant wait for my HD2 now .
I was getting sick of the headaches after surfing the web on my iPhone 4 due to the small screen.
good choice.....
you made a good choice op. hd2 is my first wm phone and i'll admit, i love it. the tweaking on the phone is good fun. at the moment im running CHT and SPB Mobile Shell side by side as well as having loads of other little tweaks to make the phone my own. theres a ton of really good apps and software floating about the net.
The only bad point i can think of is Opera's non support of 10.1 for wm6.5. Skyfire's pretty usefull for flash though so all's not lost. i'm sure you will love your new phone bud......

Thanks, i hope so, i've never seen anyone else with one
Only 2 good phones to get
HD2 - Windows
Evo - Anaroid
I love my Htc HD2
Just got a new HD2 for 180$ brand new with just the computer connection and a rubber protector.....everything else including the only other thing I wanted the SD card wasnt included.
Was this a good deal?
I am also looking into straight custom roming this phone....have a TP2 custom romed and with geny with android.
3 questions.
1.I am not use to the snap dragon yet.....I overclocked the tp2 yet the snap dragon makes it seem like molasses...will a custom rom make the HD2 slower or will it actually increase?
2. Which is the most stable ROm out now?
3.Are there any overclockers?
That was a really good price for a HD2.
I am not aure bit I think some of the custom ROMs slightly overclock, but over all the custom ROMs run a lot better and faster on the HD2.
All the custom ROMs are pretty much very stable in my opinion.
I do not knpw of a actual overclock app for Wimdows Mobile maybe someone else can help you out there.
Thanks for the info!
I already HSPL'd and put the dinik rom onto my phone but when all the craze was getting a overclock on the tp2 I heard someone say that the HD2 already had a overclocker..
I'll keep looking around.
Thanks.

Frankly, I never try it
I dont need to overclock, most custom roms are already blazing fast
T-mac
Yeah I can understand what you mean but there seems to be a difference between the Leo and the TMo HD2 which never made sense to me.
I'll look through the thread and see if it does work.
silver-
Yeah the HD2 is one of the fastest phones I've had due to the snapdragon ...it makes my TP2 even overclocked feel super slow haha.
I just want to check out the overclocker to see how faster it would actually become, faster is usually a good thing. haha.
IF you guys have any other tips for the HD2 please feel free to post....I just custom romed it and thats about it....well and putting slacker on there.
it's really cheap buy it!!!i bought my used hd2 for 1100 TL (about 700$)

I called T-mo here and they said no contract it would be around 500.

About overclocking...
Taking into account how much a mainboard for HD2 costs and how many of them were destroyed by overheating, I want to warn you, beware of overclocking, Snapdragon is fast enough without any overclocking
pvii-
Yeah I see that some people have been having problems with overheating the more topics I have been reading so I might not even overclock till later down the line.
sara-
Jeez 10% in just tax! Online shopping is becoming alot better.
