I have 2 devices lying around since i upgraded to my current HTC Desire HD
WHAT?
1) HTC Touch HD (Blackstone)
2) HTC HD2 (Leo)
i'll post the HD2 deal in the relevant thread, but for now i want to offer the HD1 to someon who can better make use of it.
Here's what's up for grabs:

FULL GALLERY OF WHAT'S INCLUDED HERE
WHY?
i enjoyed it for the year i used before upgrading to the HD2. i loved the device and enjoyed the support here on XDA from the various ROM Chefs and other people who contribute to making such devices more functional and fun to use than the OS and hardware makers imagined.
in the past here on XDA, i've helped give away two HTC Universals and a Nokia 7710, and now i want to pass on my current legacies in similar fashion.
OK, HOW CAN I HAVE IT?
very simply: whoever has the most interesting "swap" offer, i'll happily give them the HTC Touch HD (Blackstone). all i'm asking is you look around your homes, whatever you have available and willing to offer, to make this an interesting auction of sorts.
whoever makes the most interesting, humorous, WTF or whatever offer gets the device delivered to them at my cost (that means i pay the postage to you too!). you can either describe your offer, or post/PM links/pics or whatever means you have of conveying your offer.
all you have to do is post here in the thread your offer, or if you prefer PM me, and you will be considered at the end of the 4 week auction. there is no reserve, so after 4 weeks i WILL be choosing the best offer no matter what it is
i have no use for the TOUCH HD anymore, it's been sitting in my house for too long unused and i am happy to give it away in this manner.
DAMN, YOU'RE IN AUSTRALIA DUDE. I REALLY WANT THE DEVICE AND I HAVE SOME COOL STUFF I'D LIKE TO SWAP, BUT THE SHIPPING ISN'T WORTH IT
No problem dudes!
For people outside Australia thinking they have some cool stuff they'd like to exchange, but the cost to them would be prohibitive, make the offer anyway as maybe i'll pay for the postage to receive it! i have varied interests so try me on anything you have that you don't want!
You could win the HTC Touch HD, it costs you nothing to make an offer!
so get rummaging around your stuff, compile a "goody bag/box" or create something interesting if you want a "free" -ish HTC Touch HD.
WHEN?
whenever you want to start....HINT: that means it started when you read this post
the auction will only be open for 4 weeks, after which i will choose from the available offers. this should be plenty of time for everyone to have a chance to notice the auction in the threads and make an offer.
Any questions, feel free to ask away
Happy hunting people and thank you all for helping my life with my old HTC HD much better than it would have been left to HTC and MicroSoft !
127 views and not a single reply ??
do people think this is a scam or something? you can check out my history and my previous give-away devices if you're that unsure. i've been active on XDA for a while.
i'm basically giving away a boxed HTC TOUCH HD (Blackstone) for whatever the best swap is at the end of a month. even if it's a lousy pack of mints!
so come on people, i know the blackstone development isn't that dead that a Rom Chef couldn't use a spare test device. so somebody must want a freebie.
Hey mate, would you accept my mother in law as swap item ?
surprisingly, no.
i have a broken blackstone
good enough?
no serious
nice idea
wish i had something usefull as its really a great phone

well like i said, if you have something you want to get rid of, anything at all, then offer it up. otherwise if no one wants to put in the effort i'll go elsewhere to find people that deserve it.

i was hoping to get an interesting "swap auction" going on, but if some people want the device and have nothing thy want to swap then sure, fire away with simple cash offerings

i don't understand your statement, what are you unhappy about?
are shipping arround the same prices fro you to send to me?
or do we have overpriced postoffices

on a side note
ever tried my rom?
I can offer HP L2000R Netserver Dual CPU with 6 x 40GB 10K SCSI HDDs all working order
But I must say It weighs a TON ( and loads of controller cards etc. )

very kind, if impractical due to shipping unfortunately (unless you're in Victoria, Australia for a pick-up?).
i'd pick that up for pure history alone just to play with it a while. but alas, no, not a practical swap i'm afraid.

Hello everyone. I need a new cell and have decided to go with a TyTN. Any advice anyone has that will help me decide what to buy from where would be greatly appreciated. Maybe even what NOT to buy or whom to not buy from?
I'm soooo confused ...
Thank you very much in advance!!!

Have you decided if colour/appearance has any bearing on your selection?
If you don't mind waiting for a bit and are happy to spend the extra money, why not wait for the Kaiser which has more functionality than the TyTn.
If your cravings are so bad you may end up disappointed in a few months when you're stuck with the TyTn and everyone else is upgrading.
Or, you could buy mine and I'll put the money to a Kaiser upgrade for myself

Ahhhhhahaha see you know not what you say. I'm about to travel abroad for four months and need one now. I'll wait for the quirks and issues to get resolved in the Kaiser and get my money's worth out of my(your ) tytn. So how much and what have ya done to it?
Lol ... seriously I need one that will run well. I don't care about color, just condition. There are so many on Ebay it gets a little rough to sort them all out.

So where are these broads you are going to travel to see...
Really, you don't care about what your Hermes will look like?
If that's the case (pun intended) just buy the cheapest one and customize
the OS and ExtROM and you're good to go.

I see you like black on your TyTN. I've seen a few of the black cased ones on eBay and they do look good. The darker colored gray ones look good to me. Still. function over color is most important. I'm looking for which model is the best one to buy from a performance perspective.
Is there a for sale section on this forum anywhere?

There doesn't appear to be sale section here (I maybe wrong but I have yet
to come across it if it does in fact exist). You could try over on Howard Forums
but just remember that some of them can be a bit dimwitted (some).
Since I doubt you will need to be in Japan (living) the X01HT if you can find
one unlocked is pretty good. I can't see any issues other than being locked
out by the 0182 bootloader if you didn't get to it first. Plus, it really does
look sweet in black.

Thank you very much for your suggestions and the link. I will give that site a look ...
Lol ... I see what you mean. That site had all kinds of posts with problems, with very little offered up by members. Here it seems to my noob self that there are a ton of posts with people offering rom mods, tweak tips, and just generally making good site contributions.
After looking around here I still like the TyTN best, though I'd really like the integrated GPS.

I don't think we ever got the gps stuff to work properly on the tytn platform. But these are great phones still.
I've been thinking of selling mine if you are interested.
I bought it in December, its the i-mate JasJam, it has everything the tytn has including the forward facing camera if you can use it, I'm on cingular and they don't support that feature.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the GPS. I was looking for a new phone
and at the time the Nokia N95 seemed to be the best for the job but I just
couldn't deal with Symbian and no qwerty KB so I gave up the 5MP camera
and great video playback for the Hermes. Now looking back I am so damn
glad I made this choice.

That new Flame is tri-band. I know that overseas they don't use the 850mhz freq's, but still. Looks like a great unit, but I need a quad-band. Just a tangent that has no bearing on this convo.

Assuming you're asking me... "are you talkin' to me?"
I got my X01HT with a SoftBank contract so I ended up paying less than
$130 for when all's said and done. Out on the street or on the 'net prices
can vary A LOT. Also, 'buyer beware'
Mods and extras can been seen in my sig. Please look below.
If you don't care about looks or colour just but the cheapest.
My vodafone VPA1605 is ugly (but I love her ).
The Jasjam in the pictures above looks pretty good.
The only difference I know of in the function is that the Cingular 8525 doesn't have the front camera (but let's face it, how many people have even tried to use it).
Just be careful on ebay in case someone tries to sell you a phone they already bricked.
Buy and enjoy

I'd use the video phone ... also I saw somewhere (here?) that the 8525 is a tri-band. 8525 is absolutely out of contention for me as a choice. Lol and I'll take your advice on the eBay bricks ...
Thanks for your unput ach2 ... much appreciated.
I've got the Imate JasJam and have used a HTC phone, both are 9 months or older.
I preferred the buttons on the front of the HTC as it's easier to press the "Windows" and OK buttons, but it had speaker problems, so my JasJam is performing a little better and I don't use the front buttons as much as the screen & keyboard.
HTH. Oggy.
I was checking craigs-list seeing if anyone is selling any cheap G1's and i found this lol... http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/mob/1420426642.html

nope i was asking how set some dryed up roots on fire,

I will try to put it at its best performance. I portion your sdcard for this, and that will be about 532MB of your sdcard going to be used for the hero rom. So for example; is ur sdcard is 1GB then you'll have about 430MB free on your sdcard after I install hero. Some people just tend to buy another sdcard, if you do then buy a class 8 sdcard since the performance is better. Custom Service - ?$
Description; Want me to repair your bricked phone, or possibly do something not on here? Email me to see if I can do it. I'll email you back with a price.

Seems a reasonable price to me considering I had to pay $13 just to get an unlock code. That said, I'd think that anyone wanting a rooted phone would be better suited learning to do it themselves.
Yea but unlocking can't be done for free unless youve been with tmo for a certain amount of time, and there isn't a whole community dedicated to it with guides and such to teach. Someone should inform Cyan and whoever's Hero rom that is that someone is charging to install them. You know whats f'ed up is this guy most likely posts here or is atleast a reader.

lol... Im hoping its only lazy morons.
Jees... Its amazing at how much people will charge for free stuff.
I feel bad charging people $40 to flash their 360 or $50 to fix it, but when I get stupid question after stupid question then I dont feel so bad anymore.
"why cant I get wifi on my 360, I put a bluray disc in my 360 and it wont play, A friend of mine told me I could play ps3 games on my 360... how do I do that. Oh well my friends said I can so Ill just ask him".....
But, this stuff takes 15min tops.... thats not worth $45.
I was doing Iphone unlocking here for a few months for $15. I got email after email from kids on craigslist asking me to raise my prices because it was hard to compete with $15 from their $40 price.
I giggled and said "stop being rip off artists and honest and maybe you will get farther"
Thanks for this... made me laugh this morning.

Theres kids down here near miami that charge $60 for flashing 360's, and then $20 per bootleg game. then they go back and forth calling each other out on "oh this guy doesnt use graphics in his posts, why trust him..... if your guy cant do a reapir in front of you in 10 min then hes stealing your parts.... blah blah blah.
Then they flag any ad that pertains to a 360 because they take it as competition.
I actually got in an argument with one kids because he said I was stealing his customers. considering I live well over 100 miles away from him, I felt inclined to ask why in gods name he thinks someone is going to drive almost 2 hours to have a dvd drive flashed when they can get it done down the street.
I have given up on craigslist. Ill leave it to the retards and trash that over populates it down here.
If anyone gets bored, look through the craigslist ads for south florida. The best of, rants and raves.. hell even the pet section... you will be pissing yourself laughing at some of the crap "adults" will whine about lol.
I even saw a guy post a rant to god because he didnt have a prayer answered or some garbage, and then proceeded to bash anything and everything living because some girl didnt like him lol.
PS2 fat in box 5 years old $250 because "he took good care of it in the box"
"Ps2 with cheap inside" not CHIP, but cheap. I asked him how cheap the insides were.
PS3 that doesnt play PS2 games, with 10 Ps2 games for $800
Its funny and sad to see that some of these people arent charged to breathe the same air as us.
I think what happened is after about 1995, they started charging for common sense, comprehension skills and ability to speak/write a real language in the hospital.... because no one seems to have any of them anymore

I do that with Iphone/ consoles and have had my life threatened . I had kids telling me they were gonna find out where I live and kill me in my sleep because " i was messing with their livelihood". I just started hiding everything, then I gave up.
Places like craigslist rip the DUUUUUH right out of people it seems.
wow too funny.. god reading craigslist?!.. yeah people are $#%*ed up... and it keeps getting worse
...does there seem to be more / advanced development going on for the 3 year old touch vogue with ported android than we have for the hero with native android? i mean they already have a fully working 2.2 port as well. no offense towards our devs but this place has been a ghost town since the almighty evo dropped.

i asked a question, i wasn't dissing the devs. it just pisses me off that the hero is considered an ancient phone in less than a year and the vogue is 3 years old and has more development.
and before anybody asks...yes i left the evo after a week for 3 reasons.
1.) too slow of development.
2.) you have to disable everything to get half way decent battery life.
3.) the $10 extra is a joke when i have no 4g.

1.) the evo has been out for what a month or two and from what ive seen there have been huge break throughs

3.) 10 bucks is gay
$10 just isn't worth it.
Swyped from my Sprint Hero via XDA app.
They have more developing going on b/c the vogue is 3 years old and thats a long time . The hero hasn't been out a year yet and look at all the roms , themes , etc. that we have already .

Every carrier will have some extra charge for "4G". Every carrier is now at some sort of "cap" for their data as well. Everyone wants something new without the extra $10. So you want 4G in your area, but you don't want to help pay to develop it.... typical American thinking, everything must come free.

...does there seem to be more / advanced development going on for the 3 year old touch vogue with ported android than we have for the hero with native android? i mean they already have a fully working 2.2 port as well. no offense towards our devs but this place has been a ghost town since the almighty evo dropped.

I am personally very proud of our developers and take offense to your statement.they have done great things for my hero and we must remember that they are doing it free of charge,I don't quite have the understanding that they do when it comes to development so without them I would be lost,thanks to everyone that supports our device

Really, who has left? By my accounts, other the Damageless, all other devs and modders, for the most part, are still here doing work, at least to some degree.
It's not easy wat these people are doing so yea it is just you

He complains about everything dude. He has never produced a mod/theme/rom/fix/ or anything for that matter other than threads asking for ports from other phones or threads complaining. Kinda reminds me of another user that hasn't posted in forever. Damageless and treve r the only two who have left. Even fresh and konikub have updated their Rome even though they r working on the evo also. BTW jschisurf=mod God. Not kissing ur ass bro just making a true statement

Ha, thanks man. You do nice work yourself IMHO, there's still a pretty solid core around here.
So can someone enlighten me on what hasn't been done yet???
I mean as far as I know, devs didn't have to rewrite drivers from scratch (With the exception of the touch drivers)
I just have a hard time figuring out what they are doing that we haven't already done...i am sure if you would say "Hey vogue guys have this - and it would be cool to have" someone would look at it...but no one here has the need to run Ubuntu or windows mobile ports so what are you complaining about???
I wouldn't mind running another Linux port when I'm through with my hero. It would be nice to be able to run backtrack but alas that is only a dream. Aside from that anything that I'd ever want or need has been so graciously provided for by the amazing devs and if it hasn't there is probably a guide or tut out there for how to do it on my own Cheers to the awesomeness that is xda!

That was more directed at the "Everything must come free"
If it was free, anyone who wanted it could have it. Sounds like Communism to me.
lol Im very proud of the work that our devs have done..and thank them any chance i get..for without them what would we have? I may not like some of the extra stuff on some roms.. but at least they give a damn to put something out for those who do!!Its all bout choices..which in my eyes we have plenty for our hero.. like sense..well go try out one of many roms based off it.. like stock android..go get darchdroid...<----my fav by the way...
I just wanted to say Thank You Very much to all the Devs that made my hero as good as it could be but I've now moved on to the Optimus S which Kicks ass. I sure wish we had CM6 for that phone along with Deca's Kernels
I loved my CM6 Hero but once I used an OC'd Optimus S, I just couldnt not get one. $49 phone that scores 9.5 on Linpack, 1352 on Quadrant and 54.3 FPS on Neocore @ 806 mhz I mean this phone rocks! This thing kills Angry Birds lol. I have around 275mb of free ram and even clocked at 245/480 on Conservative its much faster than my Hero (no lag) with 2 days of usage.
I have better reception and Incredible battery life. I'm talking 2+ days on moderate usage. Probably around 3 days if you didnt use it much at all. This thing is incredible for the price.
Anyways Thanks again for all the hard work from Deca to Darch to Impaler we have a great team over here at XDA and I enjoyed every minute of it!
Just bought one for 185 new on ebay. but its for my boy and xmas. Now i gotta figure out how to talk him out of it and give him the hero come the 25th.

LoL. I was playing with one my friend bought and moded and was like holy crap this thing kills my Hero So I decided to get one and its awesome! Even startup is like 15 seconds as opposed to a minute on my hero. I'm thinking about getting the EVO shift later on but this will keep me going for a while.
Damn, Im glad I just logged on or I would have missed out on this ROM....er.....Development......wait.... Oh, this is just someone posting a good bye in the wrong f'ing section. Wow, never thought I'd live to see this happen. Cool story bro...

Dont be a douche. I'm giving praise to the "Developers" for all there hard work on the Roms and Kernels they have supplied me with to make my phone much better.
So, LG Optimus S is 2.2 w/o Sense, right?

I would rather still have my hero than to have an Iphone 4. Not only do all my friends say it drops calls like crazy but I hate how apple does things. Its nothing like android as far as hacking and customizing.

The Evo does indeed grant three wishes, even if one of them is an iPhone 4.

Hero con froyo
BestBuy has the Optimus S free this month on contract. I do believe that I will wait for the Desire Z (Evo Shift). That and why on earth would anyone come in here praising the iphone? My old and slow Hero is way better than any iphone I have used or seen, but that is my opinion and I will keep that where it belongs.
Well I am going to rant a bit. My stepsister (4g), her father (3gs), my mother (3gs) and my wife (3g) all have iphones. I will not use any apple product but, to say the least, know a bit about them. When any of them have an issue with their computer, iphone, or vcr, I am the one that has to fix it. It just pisses me off when a damn iphone user forces their opinion on everyone else. I understand you like your phone, but I truly believe that you are probably an idiot and/or a Jehovah's Witness/Mormon (not meant to offend but those religions seem to be the most pushy).
Have fun with the Optimus S. I'm holding off for the Evo Shift.

Its amazing the maturity of the people on the Epic forums compared to the Evo forums ... it's ridiculous
woot woot!
Ditto on the Within. I haven't truely made up my mind just yet (although I hate the screen, cams and battery life on the evo3d). I don't get my upgrade til September (epic release date) after calling Sprint about premier gold vs silver (thanks again guys!) and my plan is to wait about a month (if necessary) to see what Cyanogenmod prospects look like on both platforms. If the within has good progress at least being made, within for sure. But if it's a small dev community (don't get me wrong, ours is certainly quality over quantity ) again working on a very different us variant with issues, it may be enough to make me take the Evo3D. I love its resolution like you wouldn't believe, but I think the screen looks like crap because of the 3d surface on top of it. Plus qualcomm crappy battery life, 720p 5mp only cameras... should be interesting!
I don't think I'm alone in saying though the epic taught me a very valuable lesson. Never buy on release day. Its hard I know but the epic is great, we've STILL got great devs hard at work, and gingerbread and flash look better than on a mac (which almost always suck with fash). I'll wait it out a bit. If I upgrade it'll be mostly for software support, mods and a bit more running ram for multitasking.

This is basically my thoughts ... i think im going to wait ... but you can order the Evo 3d online now ...

Mystery's ability to do what he did with froyo makes me wonder what we'll get from ACS regarding GB. This release was sick. It's the froyo we were all seeking. I think we're on track to see our phones rise as their reliability continue to cruise. I know people still joining older phones for cost reasons. We'll have another wave enter our community down the road. It's all cyclical. The Within crowd will be demanding before they learn patience. Be strong, grasshoppers.
That reminds me, in preparation for my trip to Amsterdam and Germany I was updating my old TP2 (for the sim card slot, last year I got 6.5-7mbps on vodafone germany, for ten euros for the month prepaid! Way faster than 3g sprint, kinda funny). They still have active development going on! Its awesome, I love the community! June 6th for the rom, then they've got a very nice froyo (and somewhat unstable gingerbread) in both nand flash or haret boot. Amazing. That and the wpa-supplicant ad-hoc hack for the epic and I'll be tethering my epic to the tp2, google voice and skype, ten euros prepaid internet and I'll be good to go! Did I mention I love the community?!
