Hello
I am confused between Aria or Wildfire
they both have the same specifications and same price
only few diffrent things
Wildfire have
16M colors
240 x 320 pixels
LED flash
Qualcomm MSM 7225 528 MHz processor
Aria have
256K colors
320 x 480 pixels
no flash
Qualcomm MSM 7227 600 MHz processor
they are both unlocked
so what do you advice me to buy
and thank you
Wildfire is HTC's "cheap international smartphone" product. It has lower screen resolution than Aria, and doesn't come in North American 3G flavors.
Aria runs on AT&T 3G.
I dont know anything about the Wildfire but I have an Aria and it is awesome! I love everything about it. (especially now that I have Froyo). I think my only gripe is that it doesnt have the LED flash, but I can live without that.
i dont live in usa so i dont care about the 3g
which is better
more colors or more pixels ?

more pixels ofcourse
can i install games and apps like the disire on it ?
Definitely the Aria..
Wildfire has the worst screen resolution I've ever seen on a smart phone..
without any doubts go for htc aria even it doesnt have led light aria way better than wildfire
HTC Aria has better screen, more resolution (wildfire is embarassing)
HTC Aria has a fastest CPU (is a new family of processor, is not only 60MHz, it
has more cache and is better!)
HTC Aria have powerful GPU than Wildfire that don't has (HTC Diamond with Android ROM gets more points!!! so you can't play good 3D games)
Wildfire has a flash LED for camera
Wildfire has more frequency so works worldwide ( more or not )
So I prefer HTC Aria
I know this might be a touchy topic to start, but I was seriously considering the Milestone 2 before the G-2 was announced. And when I heard that the G2 wasn't even 1GHz, I was pretty set on the Milestone 2. Then the benchmarks came out: http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2010/09/graphics-benchmark-for-g2-shows-it-should-be-blazin/
so now I am super confused.
Milestone 2 - Pros:
1GHz processor (if the Milestone can be OCed to 1GHz, who know what the Milestone2 could be OCed to?!)
Umm....that's all I think
Milestone 2 - Cons:
Locked bootloader (what does this mean exactly? no custom ROMs?)
MotoBLOATware (means slower Android updates)
Same camera as Milestone 1 (seriously...)
Motorola
G-2 - Pros:
HTC
Stock Android
Faster Android updates
Supposed to be good for Android Gingerbread as well
No locked bootloader (more custom ROMs?)
Not Motorola
G-2 - Cons:
800MHz Processor
Didn't perform as well as Droid 2 in stock benchmark tests
Less internal memory (4Gb vs 8Gb) - not a big deal I guess
Hinge design probably means it's easier to break
Does anybody think that the development for the G-2 would be larger than the Milestone 2? Because that would be a huge Pro for the G-2. The G-1 development has lasted for years, and the user base is huge...so I am just going to assume that it would be similar for the G-2.
I'm not going to mention aethetics, because this is very subjective so no point arguing on that front.
So here's my question: Which one should I get?!
Hmm, tough one really.
HTC Camera's are not much better than the ones motorola sticks in them to be honest! The droid has crapware on it and the HTC comes with stock sense.
It seems the processor performance is near identical, in real world application use atleast so thats a non-issue i.e. when one beomces outdated, so will the other.
In terms of mod community, the HTC phone is likely to get much more support on this website, simply because the majority of people here are HTC users or past HTC users.
The Milestone seems a bit more manly, rough and the HTC looks more refined IMHO.
Personally, I'd go the G2 if I wanted as much modding as possible. HTC has a much more open policy on the topic and no locked bootloaders (efuse etc).
At the end of the day, its your decision
Have a play with both phones and pick the one you feel looks better. A good question to ask is:
I know they both look nice now, but which one will look worse for wear (paint peeling, scratching etc)
yeah, I was leaning a little more towards the G-2 due to the massive potential of modding/custom ROMs available. And i'm also quite sure that the G-2 will become the new platform for development, much like the G-1 was.
The 800MHz still bugs me though...considering that Qualcomm has new chipsets that are supposed to be able to go up to 1.2/3GHz whilst also running a GPU chip. I wouldn't wait until dual-cores because apparently that won't happen until next year (probably late next year).
HTC are supposed to be doing a pretty major announcement in London on the 15th September (so we'll hear about it on the 16th)...so hopefully that might shed some light on it. Of course, if the G-2 is the only QWERTY option, then that would probably limit our choices.
...if only they had made that a 1GHz processor...
I wouldnt rate the 1ghz feature that highly. Perhaps 800 mhz is an underclock to enhance battery life. After all, the benchmarks say performance is on par with the top phones.
99.9999% guaranteed that you'll be able to overclock the G2 to at least 1ghz
IMO the onlything that the M2 has over the G2 is how far u can OC the processor. those A8's can go far.
I dunno. clock speed is overrated. you don't know what performs better in the real world until you see some benchmarks.
That's true. Apperantly I read that a 800mhz Droid 1 performs on par with a n1. The a8 can be oc to all hell.
I definately am a fan of TI chips. They are mighty strong and it always seemed that they always had a leg up on qualcomm. I hope qualcomm stomps everyone with some massive processor that'll make the hummingbird cry
The g2 is under-clocked according to the press release.

I heard. At the end of the day a underclocked processor that runs as fast as a snapdragon and wastes less power is a win in my book!
I have read that the ARM procs are better with GPUs and for overclocking - just look at the Milestone 1. The Droid 2 was still benchmarked as the best (but only just over the G-2) and it's potential for OCing was what swayed me that way.
But now that these new Qualcomm chipsets have a separate GPU that seem to be able to compete with the best in benchmarking - it's hard to say.
If the G-2 can be OCed, then that would be awesome...but then, the Milestone 2 is also about 99% sure to be OCed...as I'm sure previous Milestone 1 owners will be screaming for it as soon as they get their hands on the new one.

as far as I know, it does, but either the GPU isn't fully utilized in the use of Android or it's just a underpowered - just see the benchmarking results on the previous page that I posted, the Milestone 2 and G-2 smoke the N1 (which is expected, since the N1 is much older)

Well If I made the list I would make it more like this:
Droid 2
Pro's:
-More high res screen (854*480 vs 800*480, both on a 3.7" screen)
-8 Gigs internal storage (4 gb more than G2)
-1 Ghz TI 45nm processor (likely to overclock fairly well)
-1 oz lighter
Con's:
-MotoCRAP software (look at the scrolling on any phone with blur from the cliq to droid x and tell me it doesn't feel slow)
-keyboard lacking comparing it to the G2
-locked bootloader (harder to develop roms for, root still possible though)
-CDMA (yeah it sucks.... that's why noone outside the US uses it...)
G2
Pro's:
-Better screen (S-TFT lcd vs regular lcd on the droid/2; brighter, more contrast, better power consumption)
-720P camcoder at 30FPS
-Adreno205 GPU(4X better graphics than previous snapdragons)
-800 Mhz MSM7230 45nm (this shows it was designed to run at 1 Ghz, but underclocked to save battery. Similar to the MSM7201A on the G1, designed for 528 Mhz but only runs at 385 Mhz unmodified; should at least be overclockable to 1.13 or more)
-better keyboard (WWW.\.COM BUTTON? HELL YEAH!)
-HSPA+ (who doesn't want 14 MB/s DL?)
-GSM (gsm is always better....)
-likely to receive updates rapidly (no promises though, look at the 3 months it took motorola to update to 2.1 on their "google experience" device)
-New sturdy Z-hinge design
Con's:
-ummm.......
Yeah so what if the droid 2 gets an extra 3 frames (58 vs 61)... Your eye can only detect 50FPS unless you're a combat pilot or a sniper with trained eyesight. Besides that both phone's have pretty identical specs, including 512 mb ram, 2.2, 10 hrs talk time, etc. My vote is definately towards the g2, but don't get me wrong both are beasts of a phone. Also I wouldn't expect to see any dual core's until maybe next summer. Think about it: Qualcomm released the original snapdragon in Nov 2008, but it wasn't until Dec 2009 that a phone implemented it (LG Expo). The dual core qualcomm chips come out next month, so it should be 6 months-a year before they come out.

Well technically the Milestone 2 is a GSM device, not CDMA, but the other points are quite good.
However, don't forget that the Milestone 2 can also OC...so the two are comparable in that sense.
Didn't I read somewhere that Android doesn't yet support hardware acceleration for it's UI? Meaning that that spiffy new GPU will only get used in games/video, etc? I'm no expert on this - perhaps someone could chip in and explain...
I too am facing the same decision soon. I love my Desire, but I will never buy a keyboardless phone again, and will chop it in for one of these two as soon as I can.
I was leaning more towards the Milestone 2 as it looks badass in my opinion, and there is no major difference in the specs. That was til I read up about locked bootloaders, and the fact that Milestone 1 owners are still on Android 2.1 and Motorola just doesn't give a sh*t about the numerous bugs the phone has.
Just a quick search around forums/Facebook Motorola Europe page etc, shows how unhappy Milestone 1 owners are with Motorola. Page after page of people saying "I will NEVER buy Motorola again" and literally begging Motorola to unlock the bootloader before abandoning the phone (all met with a deafening silence from Motorola) does turn me off of the Milestone 2. Motorola won't fix the phone and won't give their customers the tools to fix it themselves, so as far as I'm concerned I'm not going to spend £400-500 to put myself in that same position with the Milestone 2.
On the HTC side of things, they do make attempts to stop people modding their phones, but have not yet gone as far as locking the bootloader, and every HTC phone has been compromised. I fully expect this to be the case with the G2/Desire Z (Desire Z - what a sh*t name!), and the phone WILL get a lot of dev support, no question.
Ultimately, I believe there is no choice for me: pain with Motorola, or fun with HTC/XDA devs!
I'm still not sure about the hinge action, nor do I like the looks of the G2 particularly, I think it's going to turn out to be a bit of a fat chunker! Still, I go for personality and functionality in my phone rather than looks, otherwise I'd have an iPhone! It's also a crying shame that HTC went with a 4 row rather than 5 row keyboard.... And one final request please HTC - make sure that screen is full multitouch please! Oh, and I have heard this bad-boy is going to have stock Android with HTC Sense widgets - that's all well and good, but what I'm interested in is the Sense Dialer. And the Sense browser text selection please - I want that available everywhere on the phone, please!
Uh oh - just read the G2 has just 1300maH battery.
HTC, what is this twattery? I don't want to go backwards with battery size! Yes I know, more efficient processor, blah blah, lower clock speed, yadda yadda - but I don't give a monkey's!
A smaller battery in a bigger handset than the original Desire is not good enough in my mind. The G2 is going to be a brick anyway - why not add 5mm to the length and give us an extra 200-300maH? Or perhaps if you'd used a more standard slider action then you could've fitted a beefier battery in there :-(

It's true, but the next version Android Gingerbread adds it, which is where handsets with weaker gpus will begin to struggle. Running AOSP means that it will get updates at the same speed of the Nexus one.
However, the Clove spec for the Desire Z has it as a Sense device. This is backed up with the earlier screenshot of the Desire Z with the default sense wallpaper, and the name (why would they give it Desire branding if it didn't have Sense?). So there's a chance they'll put in the 8X55 which is the 1ghz of the same processor, but doesn't support HSPA+ (which isn't in the UK). So we'd gain 200mhz in return for Sense and an uglier handset colour scheme.
UK HTC event is tomorrow, so we should find out then.
Adreno205 GPU, 4X better graphics than previous snapdragons.
I think it's the only one that has hardware accelerated Adobe Flash support.
I remember seeing Milestone 2 and other android phones reviews, reviewers said phone would literally crawl when browsing flash enabled websites.
So maybe that feature will make a big difference?
I think I've decided: G2

waiting to see what new things HTC has "dreamt" up for their announcement of the 15th (in London)...but I don't expect things to be any different than what we know now.
yes, the battery is a crying shame, but tbh I charge my phone every night ever since I got my blackstone...and I also have a car charger...but it would still be nice to have a phone that would last more than 2 days.
I'm not sure I fully understand the bootloader stuff...I've seen youtube videos of people running something called a "Bugless Beast" ROM on an OCed Milestone 1....but I agree, Motorola are pretty bad with customer service and post-sales support. HTC, on the other hand, are pretty happy to turn a blind eye to the modding community - as all Android manufacturers should..since Android is technically an opensource platform.
Oh..also...I don't really care about the name Desire Z, lol.....just a name. They could call it "The Loser Phone" and I'd still probably get it
I going to buy one of these phones, just cant decide which one, please help me with my decision. just wonder what people think, and for what phone will there be more developers from xda around and so on.
Probably should wait until we have confirmed spec of the CPU and GPU on both devices, or perhaps even benchmarks, in my opinion.
Personally I much prefer the HD because bigger screen = easier to use on-screen keyboard. And with SwiftKey I don't really care too much about physical keyboard nowadays. However the HD seems rather expensive. But then yea it has a better camera and dual flash...
yes those test will be nice to see, it is not so big difference in price between the models, not if you look the sites from sweden, the hd cost around 40 $ more than the Z.
I wanna have one of them directly when they comes out, cant wait. hehe
i am going to have a try of both of them and if the HTC HD is tooooooo BIG i will go for the Z
Some review website wrote that HD is faster and has more memory (768 vs 512).
I'm not sure, I know Z uses Adreno 205 which is pretty decent and I hope hardware Adobe Flash Acceleration is not just a buzz word. Not sure about HD's GPU, how it compares.
Will probably want to see some CPU/GPU benchmarks before making final decision...
i couldnt wait any longer, preordered the Z, thinks its more usefull with the full qwerty.
Found this on Qualcomm's website.
They are probably identical, yet the description of Desire Z's GPU is more impressive
HTC Desire HD:
MSM8255™ and MSM8655™
High-performance GPU - up to 41M triangles/sec and 245M 3D pixels/se with dedicated 2D Open VG graphics hardware
HTC Desire Z:
MSM7230™
High-performance GPU - up to 41M triangles/sec and 245M 3D pixels/sec and dedicated 3D/2D acceleration engines for Open GLES 2.0 and Open VG 1.1 acceleration

Yep it is. But in theory of course. ;-) I think that SGX 540 is still the fastest GPU solution on the market. But we'll see when G2/Desire Z will be available....
The Z for the keyboard... I'm not a fan of the on screen keyboard... however I am a bit worried of how the keyboard will "slide" into view... I am worried that it might break easily or that the ribbon cable might break.... warranty experience tells me that ribbon cables often takes time to replace....
Something concerns me about this. One sites I have come across is quoting the manufactirers warranty as 1yr for the Desire HD and the Desire Z, whereas it states 2 yrs for the Desire.
Misprint or have HTC reduced their warranty period?
Was thinking seriously about Desire HD, but recently changed my mind in favor of Desire Z.
DHD to me sounds somehow "unfinished" - regardless of the supreme specs. On the other side DesireZ just looks like really well designed phone ... look for example where are the audio plugs on DHD and DZ.

I own a Touch Pro 2, and although the keyboard is robust, the OS is not that spectacular.
I bought a HTC Wildfire for my girlfriend, I played with it and it started to love android, I like that phone even more than my Touch Pro 2, so I can hardly wait for the Desire Z.
Does the fact that the desire Z has a 45nm cpu make it faster than the desire HD's 65nm even though there is a 200mhz clock speed differance? Personally i would think it would be faster but not 100% sure. I guess the 45nm chip is a newer chip than the 65nm chip.

Pretty sure it's a mis-print - still 2 years.
anyone know the root capabilities for desire z? cause if all else fails we could just use set cpu to 1ghz but i really wouldnt think its nessicary.
Desire Z all the way. I have been waiting for a good free QWERTY keyboard since the G1 and I know this is it. Plus with Cyanogen support this device is going to be the BOMB.
the sgy is better than lg gt 540 tell me i whant to buy but Im not decided

Galaxy y just take a look on the specs..
But I don't know how much development is there for it.
Sent from my GT540
yeah galaxy y specs :
OS Android OS, v2.3.5 (Gingerbread) (stock gb hmm good)
CPU 830 MHz ARMv6 (armv6 too but 800mhz on default??)
Type TFT capacitive touchscreen, 256K colors (eh this is kinda different.....)
Display resolution is just to small 240x320 for that size. CPU is faster, but no flash support, in my opinion not wort changing. I your place i would save money for something with armv7 or better and with higher resolution.

Yes, it is this model m.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_mini_pro-3713.php
1GHz cpu, adreno 205, gr8 hardware.
It come with ginger, and shuld get ics. lol, no flashing cm7, rooting, oc, etc... no need for that. She use it for voice calls, sms, internet, music and photos. And she would probable kill me if i broke something. :-D

wow just wow 1ghz?? put this phone to shame
If I have to choose between swift and galaxy Y, i would take a swift becouse of screen size in px. If you're thinking about any other low end phone you should look at the xperia live with walkman - 1gHz, 512 rom, 512 ram, fast as hell, mdpi,, and phone is not very larger than his screen.
or the wildfire s is good too
I think Galaxy Gio is better than Galaxy Y and GT540, and the price is similiar.
lg gt540 is a low-end smartphone from lg ang galaxy y is a low-end smarthpone from samsung. With stock rom and internal storage galaxy y wins and it has multi-touch screen too (which lg gt540 doesn't) but lg gt540 has ics (beta) and galaxy y doesn't (yet) so... if u look into the future i think u should choose the galaxy y but if u want to play with ics right now u should choose lg gt540. Or u could do as what the above say: save the money and buy a super smartphone like samsung galaxy SII or nesus

@bataya i think that would depend if you buy with 2 year contract or something like that. http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9100_galaxy_s_ii-3621.php (see below) in
Singapore a sgsII with a 2 year contract (bundled with data and stuff cost more then 30 SGD a month) and still need to pay more then 200 SGD for the phone itself.....
SGD? How much is that in euro?

well SGD = singapore dollar. close to us dollar
as of now the conversion is
1.00 SGD = 0.600692 EUR
I would take a look at the HTC wildfire s or galaxy ace. For HTC, you get a great looking ui, galaxy ace gets a silky smooth hardware accelerated browser.
Neither LG gt540 or galaxy y are recommended be me for basic smartphone task(s).

hey guys i want to buy this phone but before i have some query
is zte blade is flash enable
is it comfortable with 600 mhz processor
i am having samsung galaxy y, and buying zte blade is a good deal
pls dont be brief
Yes you can flash it, it's sold totally unlocked. 600mhz works fine. The screen is much better than your Samsung, it's 480x800. They're good phones overall if you can buy one cheaply. I'd pick the blade over that samsung every time if they were the same price, or for a straight swap.
Some of the versions sold in India only have 256mb ram, the Dell version & European versions have 512mb.

-The flash is ARMV6 phone, so no official flash player, there is a portage which work but not very good
-I don't know for the price, but in France there is new blade for ~70€
-There is an official 2.2, but dont use it, custom rom in 2.3 are much better, and there is some 4.0 rom in progrese ^^
Send from my awsome ZTE Blade!

I would say to go for blade if choosing a low end phone.
Compared to galaxy y the screen resolution for blade would be the biggest upgrade. Can't believe qvga phones are still coming. I don't know if galaxy y has gpu. But maybe i guess performance of 830Mhz qvga phone might be better than that of 600MHz wvga phone.
And 600Mhz cpu for blade is just fine and along with adreno 200 it has decent video playback , gameplay.
Regarding browser flash on blade, it is not officially supported like any other armv6 phone. But there is hacked version of Flash player 11 for armv6. I don't have any issues with it. It works just fine for me regarding browser videos.

I don't know about the RAM details of IDEA BLADE but the dell xcd 35 will mostly come with android 2.2 (= 512MB RAM) at the moment. Flashing a 2.3 rom like cm7 improves its performance markedly. The ics roms are not stable as now.

It can't play Flash, it's ARMv6 like your Samsung. No Flash, no Google Earth, no Firefox. It doesn't have a camera flash either & the picture/video capture quality is poor.
600mhz armv6 with adreno200 gpu, it can be overclocked, some phones go up to 748mhz, your results may vary.
It can be upgraded to CyanogenMod 7.2 (customised Android 2.3.7) & there are official 2.3.5 updates. CyanogenMod 9 should bring us Android 4, Ice Cream Sandwich, once they've fixed it.
It has a nice 480x800 3.5" screen. It's easy to flash a custom rom. It's officially supported by CyanogenMod. It should be a bit cheaper than your Samsung. If you get a network locked version then just flashing a custom rom or typing a free code in will unlock it.
Used phones are selling for around £60 on ebay in the UK, I don't know how much they are in India, compared to other phones. The Blade 2 has replaced it here.
The idea blade in India has just 256mb ram (about 190mb available), Chinese v880s & I think some phones sold in Russia are the same. The Dell xcd35 & any blade/libra/sanfrancisco/sapo a5/base lutea from Europe have 512mb ram (422mb available), it makes quite a big difference.

you people are saying that indian version of blade have 256 mb ram so can it supports cynogen and 4.0 and miui
and it having a adreno 200 gpu is it better than videocore iv (galaxy y gpu)
can it multiboot the rom
thanks
I have a 512mb ram blade & it's great. I've never used a 256mb ram blade, but some people say it's not really enough to run well, apps get killed more often, it can still run all the same roms. If you can get a 512mb version then do that, it'll be better, either a Dell xcd35 or a European import.
There are 2 different Indian versions of the Blade, the Idea Blade which is 256mb ram & the Dell xcd35 which is 512mb ram, both are sold in India. The amount of ram is the only real difference.
The Galaxy Y only has 384mb ram I think.
The main difference between Blade & Galaxy Y is going to be the screen, it's a good 480x800 screen, higher resolution than most other cheap Androids, like the Galaxy Y. So it's much better for web browsing, videos, or anything that needs a crisp sharp screen.
It can't multiboot roms, but it's easy to change roms.
The adreno200 gpu is quite good for a basic ARMv6 phone, it's the same gpu as used in the Nexus one & HTC Desire. Now we're overclocking it past 300mhz (stock gpu speed is 122.88mhz) it's pretty fast.

Xcd 35 is a, better deal but it costs 500 Rs extra but it should be your choice
