Ok guys, sorry I have been M.I.A. on the forums, but Medical school caught up with me and my Blackstone. After using it for a month, I decided to use the phone that I received from T-Mobile "Samsung Behold" and got used to the little device, thus I havent used my blackstone for a while. Now, it has come to my attention, that I may be possibly wanting to sell my Blackstone for the money due to my financial situation right now. I would be selling it with 3 cases and a pack of stylus, but that is beside the point right now. I have been looking around at the juicy phones coming out and the Samsung Omnia caught my attention. Granted I would have to import it once again, what exactly is the difference between the Omnia and HD? I will wait for the G2 to come out and check it out and, if I have the money, may look into the Omnia. Any advice from you all is always appreciated. I would wait for the Huawei G3, but nothing concrete has come up lately.
what model Touch HD do you have? Might be interested in purchasing if its a t8285.
here's the prior thread with the scoop..good luck: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445171&highlight=omnia
Thanks galaxys didn't mean to double post, will read the thread you posted.

PM me buddy, we will talk
Hello all,
I am usually not one to make a big deal about things but I am really unhappy with Dell. If they were not ready with a quality device they should have just passed on having a launch event.
I figured it would be good to try and get more info out there since there are so few of us that have been dealing with this issue of the engineering samples and now bad returns. May not help us but you never know. If more sites have news about this maybe Dell will start to take notice since I have tried to get the news to all the Windows Phone sites that I have been reading.
WPcentral.com
Pocketnow.com
WmPoseruser.com
EverythingWM.com
Tmonews.com
I have also sent some info to jkontherun.com
Hopefully if word of what is going on spreads a bit more Dell will say something.. anything..
If Dell isn't ready with the Venue Pro then I'd just let Dell take their time to come up with a polished product. It's clear that they were not ready for the November 8 soft launch. The decision to rush the phones to Microsoft stores led to this PR fiasco.
It's just a phone. It's not the end of the world. Dell isn't forcing anyone to buy their phone.
I don't want them to rush anything.. I want the exact opposite.. If they get bad press from all of this they might think twice about releasing a product this way again.
I really want them to take a good few months to get it right before they try and launch again.
I'd like for them to just quickly tell us if this is a week long fix for them or a few months, I'm betting it's a few months now and I may just end up getting a Focus by Dec 1st
I think they are going to take their time trying to please us, they have a bigger computer market to worry about. They are going to what they do regardless
I believe between this site and references to this site from various techblogs as well as comments in Twitter have gotten Dell's attention.
Although I got my wife the Focus, I have decided to give Dell an opportunity to correct itself with a fixed product to release. Having said that, I may reach a point where I just might wait until first of next year to see what other devices Samsung and others have up their sleeve. Frankly, the hardward/spec on all the current WP7 phones are near end of lifecycle products (except the screen) on teh DVP and Foucs) so I'm kind of at a point where I may just skip the Venue Pro all together and wait for the next gen devices.
Hell, I've waited 1.8 years for WP7, what's another 2-3 months... All this goes out the window if Dell has it available in December. If later, I'll just wait.
If you do currently own a DVP and have issues, call Dell mobility and have them issue you a service number. They are escalating all issues to management. That would at least show that you as a consumer are concerned and will hopefully get them in contact with you once they have some news. The number is 18003083355

Yep. A representative called me yesterday afternoon to tell me my order had been canceled. And the wait continues...

Pretty sure that post didn't cause them to make such a large decision as to cancel all pre-orders...lol
I would certainly hope that a post would not sway corporate decisions like that. My hope is that Dell or Microsoft says something about the status of the product. At the moment the MS stores are still showing them but not saying anything about availability.

I am with you on this, I made a point about the poor specs and build quality on the HD7 and got criticized buy a few.
It seems that most think the current specs are fine.
Personally I would like better all round specs not 2 year old tech like the HD2 has. After all it is nearly 2011.
It has been frustrating trying to get a WP7 phone with the specifications I like.
Would we consider adding a forum for the Transformer? Seems like a lot of potential with that tablet...
edit...
does anyone know how many +1s it takes for a forum?
I second this request.
Looking at the price it's gonna be coming out at and the functionality it has, I should expect this will be a popular little device.
Consider this a must, especially with all the controversial halo Honeycomb gets. Not being open source atm, rushed to release and so forth.

True, hope to get one myself aswel
I would love to see this section open,
I plan on getting one too.
+1 from me, just trying to find a supplier who will have early stock
Me too!
expansys (UK) have it listed for preorder... but their prices are usually geared towards those that must have it first rather than those who want to shop around.
Apparently there'll be a price announcement from Asus tomorrow. I want keyboard too so here's hoping for a nice bundle
Comments from an Asus guy who has one over in the bit-tech forums:
http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=206353
And a nice video, although in Swedish and no keyboard, it does show Honeycomb quite well. And (is this Asus'?) lovely liquid live wallpaper where the liquid level indicates the battery level!

+1. I am in doubts on getting this one or the Xoom one. This one will be released first in europe, so for europe, this will be the first Honeycomb, not the XOOM. Motorola has been sleeping around
+1
ASUS has announced it in the US in April. Available for order now in UK, released in Taiwan. Please open a forum section forum for those of us who have or will have this unit. I tried the Xoom, nice but decided I want the keyboard. Best of both net-book and tablet. It could be a Transformer/Slider forum.
SOON PLEASE.... PRETTY PLEASE.....

Yes a section for the EEE pad Transformer should be great !

Comet have it up for sale at £399 - not clear whether this is with/without dock.

nice... so I can rest assure I'll be able to get root access then...
I have mainly been on the app development side of things, but for a tablet I might shift gears and try learning ROM development/root hacking.
I am definitely looking forward to this tablet, and think it should get its own section.
Seriously...when is this going to happen? Has anyone gotten the email to send their Xoom back yet?
Last I heard, all verizon employees who has one and a few selected non-verzion employees gotten it done and came back with no issues so the full wide upgrade should be taking place sometime this month.
Thanks for the reply. I have been hearing it should be this month...but we're fairly far along into 'this' month to still not know anything imho.
Ok...I ask again...anyone have any news? real news?

Seriously man, at the risk of sounding as someone put it, all gangster, if someone gets a notification, we will know. No one is sitting at home just waiting for your post, so they can share the news.
The guy who flips the switch is probably off in the Bahamas somewhere, sucking on a drink with an umbrella in it. Or, he's somewhere else doing who knows what. Either way, there will be new headlines when someone does get box.
Chill....this is not worth turning gray over.
I tried to get a petition going months ago but got bashed out of the forum because people thought it was coming in a couple weeks. Its now been months since.
I was extreme in point out the fact that especially us early adopters who paid a premium price got ripped off dramatically by both companies. Still no 4g half working SD. Etc etc.
We are way past the deadline and it honestly makes me feel good that I was right and all the ones bashing me back then should be very very apologetic. But that's asking way to much for these forums I know.
Moto needs legal action. And a major petition etc etc. We as the consumers should be heard.
Good luck

Man, I for one am glad you feel vindicated. It must feel great to be that single voice of reason in the 500k or so Xoom owners.
We all know the problems, there is no way to avoid it. This is not a case where some guy can get it working, while another cannot. We are all in the same boat.
I knew within 15 minutes of purchase that something was not right, when what the agent told me did not match up with what Verizon and Motorola were posting online. The situation immediately became, am I happy with what I got, or does it go back. I made my decision and have not looked back.
This is a good tablet for me. I have been extremely happy with it. The point that it can be so much more is an after thought...I don't use this thing to its full potential as it is.
I think more people are upset over principle, you told me this...but it didn't happen. I think holding Verizon accountable for not following through as expected, should be done. At question is how. Petitions in a hacker forum is not the way. Did Verizon lie or cheat? Can you prove it?
How do you hold them accountable? There is only 1 way. With your wallet. Do not purchase from them again. The only thing important here is money. They will listen to money. If you are not willing to back this up with your wallet, your petition will mean nothing.
Verizon is a big bad, mean company, fighting a war with att. Their lawyers are aggressive, mean and rugged. You will not win. But you can spend your $200 a month at tmobile or sprint. Enough people do that, then you win....for now.
Otherwise, I still like my Xoom as it is. It could be better with 4g....but I bought what was in my hands. When it comes to my next purchase, I'll look elsewhere first. Went to look at the Bionic the other day. Rep asked "Get one for you?". I replied, " Sure, as soon as you finish with my Xoom. Until then, I'm spending my $200 at T-Mobile." Then I walked out slowly.
That's my petition.
Is sold out. So lets take bets... the preorders were already inflated from $315 to $399
I'm betting that stock will be found on eBay/Amazon during the holidays or early 2013 starting at $699
I wont be paying that much.

1. it's cheap and a power monster.
2. it's not sold out. it's just "booked out". like restaurant is booked fully does not mean all booked customers will go there for sure. i expect 50% people who got the mi phone bookings will place the order.
3. no use for non chinese user. cause few english based developers will have the phone. and a lot of translations, localizations need to be done.
4. quality and delivery time are unknown.

I suspect (or rather, hope) that the Mi2 will manage to find popularity, and maybe even official distribution outside China. There really isn't anything comparable coming to the RoW market at this kind of price point at the moment, so there will be a lot of interest from developers abroad.
I, for one, don't even like Miui, but if I could have that hardware running ported CM10 I'd be happy as a pig in s**t - especially given it's a 4.3" phone at 720p, and AFAIK the only other option is the Sony which is far more expensive and doesn't have the horsepower of the Mi2. I'm not really a fan of big screens, but I do like having all the pixels
Hey, maybe somebody will want to swap a Mi2 for my One X one day :victory:
