us hd2 or hd2?

hello. i am currently a xperia x1 user but i am seriously considering to buy a htc touch hd2. however i can't decide between an unlocked tmobile (us) hd2 or hd2 apparently the us hd2 has 1gb rom and 576mb ram. i have read somewhere that the 'xtra 128mb hidden' ram can be unlock in the hd2 when flashed to custom rom i just want to confirm this and what you think guys which one the 2 you advice me to buy? its a hard decision for me. thanks!

it depends on your location as tmobile does not work 3g only on t mobile us ,and about the ram it is true both have same ram amount

flame me if you want for the complete noob question but if the us hd2 has 1gb ROM how much does the european hd2 have?

512 mb of rom but both have 576 mb of ram

i have seen a couple of unboxing videos o us hd2. they say 1g rom 1g ram. not sure abt the ram but the rom thng is what matters. believe me ull need every mb in that rom. only problem with my hd2 is that i always have to look out for not running out of space. its hilariously frustrating. go for the US one.

It's not like an iPhone - there's a slot under the back cover where you can put your own storage cards in. I've got 16GB in mine and I've had it for nearly 5 months and still have lots of space left on both the SD card and the phone memory!

forgot to mention that although u have 512 mb rom on the non us hd2, with the preinstalled system nd software on it, u start with only approx 140 mb of free space! now if u thnk thts enough, just try it.

Oh that's plenty. You just need to use common sense when installing things that don't need to be on the phone memory. That's difficult for some, and they don't understand so blame "low memory" problems, despite the fact that it's normal for WM devices and has been for years.
Also, with the ability to do what I want to my phone, unlike some other popular devices on the market, I can remove things that I don't want and get lots more than 140MB free on my device.
It's really up to you and your own personal capabilities and understanding as to what you do with it, just like most devices.

Stock Roms for ZTE BLADE

Here are stock roms for differant european countries and the service providers
Play (PL): ZTE Blade - TFT screen
http://www.multiupload.com/NWQEJUI6D2

Is there any stable 2.2 rom in the stock?

No 2.2 as yet, but there may be one (or more!) very soon -- from China and/oe Japan. Whether they'll work on any/all the European Blades without any modification remains to be seen. But if you want 2.2, MoDaCo has a very usable Alpha 4 based on the pre-release Froyos.

I think Orange in UK has responsibility to release offical 2.2 rom for their customers. Most of the other brand name android phone are going to release 2.2 rom upgrade for their customers at the end of this year.

Did the links work for you?
I just wanted to download the ok-mobile rom as a backup. Just in case i should get a hardware issue during warranty time....
But I always get a 404 error or a not allowed.
Thx in advance

We've had mixed messages from Orange about 2.2. Perhaps they'll go straight to 2.3, assuming they bother at all!
The only European provider that has indicated they'll soon be doing a 2.2 for their version of the Blade is the Greek one. But AFAIK it's not confirmed and it's vaguely coming "in the New Year".

Wind announced that Greek version will get an official froyo update in the beginning of 2011

Is there any news from Orange(UK) for the 2.3rom ?

Maybe you should give credit to Sebastian404 for hosting those files?

I have no background news or previous details but I would've thought Orange will not be that bothered about a pay-as-you go phone they are selling for less that £100 (at least here in the uk)?
That's one of the reasons I got it; it does some amazing things considering the price. Ah well, wait and see I suppose...

I agree. I don't expect anything official, updates will have to be custom.

Thats Bull****... Android 2.3 are only for Devices with min. 1GhZ....
So we can get happy if we become 2.2.. but 2.3 will never come out for Devices with 600MhZ !!!
EDIT : All Downloadlinks dont work for me...

I think you may be mistaken, 1 gig will be the minimum requirement for 3.0. There is no minimum for gingerbread afaik.
The confusion may have came from when gingerbread was fist announced and we all thought it was 3.0, at around the same time the system requirements for 3.0 were released.

looked at the the orange site. no upgrades what so ever for 2.2 or 2.3.
p.s how do you tell what one you have tft or oled

Could someone please reupload the finnish stock rom (onevstarting with EFI). I'm in desperate need in returnig to stock rom because I noticed my ZTE Blade has a yellow tint at the bottom of the screen and I can't replace the handset with custom ROM.
All help much appreciated.

[Q] Dell Venue Pro Has 225MB of Total Memory(RAM)?

I thought the DvP Comes w/ 512MB of RAM, Is this a mistake? Could you guys check if you have 225 or 512 of RAM.
Thanks
I use an App called Device Info to check.

there is quite a long thread or two on this already. Search this forum, or go back a page or 2. Lots of good info.

Sorry about That...

happy with ur phone?

hello guys,
i have an ace and m planning to buy a wildfire for a friend of mine..
im plannin to keep it on 2.1 for some months and then upgrade to cyanogen...
the basic apps i want are whatsapp , google lattitude n facebook. are they ok when running on 2.1? internal is 512 , system will eat some.
wat say? thank you.

Everything is ok and everything works fine with those apps.
But the main problem is its hard to find a new 2.1 wildfire at the moment. And if u find u r really lucky.
And why going for an outdated device now. I think there are many other options if u wish. Think again

my budget is Rs 10k....wat other device would u suggest? The main thing she needs is the camera with flash...dosent want to beg anyone else for flash ...
thanx

Wildfire camera if fine but video recording sucks due to the processor.
I will try to check if any other at 10K

thanx ...i think croma still has wildfire with 2.1

I would not reccomend it due to the fact that it is at end of life (im thinking of getting a sensation). Have a look at the zte blade if it is in your region and budget

Amazing, but it seems that what you said is indeed the case. The only other phone I was able to find was the SE Xperia X10 Mini.
But really, I think it would be better if you think a bit about it. If the flash is a critical component, then by all means go for the Wildfire, but, for any other purposes, get the Dell XCD35.

Doesn't the desire have flash? go for that , or the Blade, since it's cheap, but it's good.

yup....
Flash is a must for her.... so wildfire it is....
do zte blade and dell xcd35 have the same specifications?
coz GSM arena does not show any GPU for the dell xcd which is the indian version of the blade

It's the same. Just rebadged. You can ask nhnt11 from this forum, who has upgraded from the Wildfire to the XCD35 for confirmation, but I am pretty sure on this one myself.
PS: If possible, bump the budget a bit and get the Wildfire S. Far better value for the ~2.5K price difference.

Is flash alone the mandatory thing or is android also the mandatory thing. Because u will have only fewer outdated options in your budget.

I have Encore, but it depends on what you're looking for.
Does price matter?
Do you need a HDMI output?
Do you use stylus often?
I needed a HDMI output and that narrowed it down to Acer W4 and Toshiba Encore.
Encore was cheaper so that's what' I got.
