Just wondering how many of you are going to sell your 8525/Tytn for the soon-to-be-released Tilt/Tytn II! Please vote!
I don't understand the big deal? Seems like the same device with a slower processor and different keyboard flipping mechanism?

From what I have read, the processor used in Tilt/Tytn II is a dual-core processor, so, even though it runs at 384Mhz, it's faster than 8525's 400Mhz processor. Also, screen tilting is not the only upgrade. You forgot a 3PM camera, 128MB of RAM, 256MB of ROM, a built-in GPS, etc.
@fordracerguy: If you had read the threads here, or maybe the specs over at pdadb, i think you would have easily understood the "big deal"
Sold for $365 on ebay. Did I mention the BlackJack or actually the Microsoft Smartphone OS SUCKS. The phone isnt too bad but MS SP WM5 sucks compared to PPC. I am hating the limitations pending the Kaiser in Sept.
Well, That does sound pretty nice. However, does WM5 or WM6 support a multi threaded operating system? Or is it more one core is for hardware stuff like the radio, and the other is for the OS ?
None of the above. I will get the Tilt and my wife will replace her Treo 650 with my current 8525.
I'll be keeping my Hermes and adding the Kaiser to my ever growing stack of phones...

Technically, you are selling your 8525 to your wife for $0.

I think he'll get more than $0
In 9 months there'll be another lil' tytn around the house
8525 for $365, you were lucky, here in the UK you will get about £120-ish.

I think I was lucky too seeing a refurb on ATT site is $199 and New is $399. I offered it unlocked with WM6 and no contract so the buyer got a decent deal too.
Hmm. Is it that great? Here is what it is missing IMO;
:VGA screen,
:Full-sized mini-jack out,
:More H/W buttons where you actually need them (at the top of the device where your damn thumbs are!)
:a decent OS.
Oh sod it, where do I sign???
forget selling the tytn im making the girlfriend by me the tilt for a early xmas gift

I paid $1.99 for the 3.5mm jack attachment on ebay for my headphones to work. I am not complaining especially since the Hermes and Kaiser has the same jack.
Will Be Keeping My Hermes/tytn, Only Real Difference Is The Camera, I Gotta 10mp Digital Cam, So Cant Be Fussed To Upgrade
If this camera is good quality I will save up and trade my 8525 in!

Camera is only difference?!? What about dual core CPU, a dedicated GPU, built in GPS, tilt keyboard...i'm sure there's more, but those are the main things Camera Shamera...that's the least important part of the kaiser.
Hi all. I'm asking for the expert opinion of all the xda ogs. I bought an HD2 about 5 months ago off ebay for almost full price. And now it won't start (I tried everything). Sent it to htc repair center in Texas.
Now my question is: If it costs more than 150 to repair the phone, I'll probably just buy a new one instead of repairing it to have better peace of mind. Should I get another HD2, this time brand new from amazon for 299, or should I get an HTC sensation for abouit 540?
I really don't see myself using the dual core cpu that much, but the higher megapixel camera would be much more badass, and I do take alot of pictures.
Any productive opinions are welcome.
You say your HD2 will not start, so did it just start this or were you flashing something and it did this after the flash? If so what were you flashing? I ask this cause it sounds like you have bricked your HD2 and that is fixable for a third of the 150 dollars you suggested.
Now as for your Sensation question I don't really have any advice for you as I am currently wrestling with what device to upgrade too myself. And the Sensation is like one of the top devices I am looking at.

I have the same question...my HD2 is also gone for repair and I was thinking of selling it..once I get it back...but the problem is HD2 still allows you to do so much...there is no other phone like it quite yet...there is also possibility of DFT still releasing new version of MAGLDR for wp7 mango which you never know, it maybe good enough for daily driver...
I'm in same dilema...still not decided though
However, instead of sensation I was thinking of buying TMO G2X (LG optimus 2x)...You can get a new one for ~ $350-400 on eBay compared to sensation which is almost $500-600 now...
Compared to sensation it has better camera and no death grip issues, while you lose out on High res screen and Sense UI (which is quite good in its 3rd installment but i think I can manage with cm7, as I was using that on my hd2)
blah, seems like the Sensation has way too many issues right now. I wouldn't be able to stand having dust underneath my screen. Or death grip.
At 299 right now, the HD2 seems like the best value. 4.3 inch screen, and I could flash a new rom every week if I wanted.
What I really want is the samsung S2 of course, but it's still almost 700 on amazon.
I just wish they had another phone for about 300 with a bigger screen (I prefer 5 inch lol) and a better camera.
Best advice of all is to wait if I can. Prices will drop quickly, and maybe the next batch of sensations will be better built.
I'm due an upgrade next month (or if O2 won't match/beat Vodafone's tarriffs it'll be in 4 months when I jump ship) and so far the Sensation is the only thing that appeals to me.
Tried one out in CPWH yesterday and was impressed, no lag, no stutters.
That's a UK based version though, and from what people say about the phones over in the US, your carriers add a load of bloat that can affect performance.
My HD2 will go to my fiancee to replace my old HD.
I will miss the ability to make calls without having to go to the home screen, but I'll get used to it.

HTC Sensations and LG 2X have already sold in Jakarta.
Next week, 23 July, Samsung will launch Galaxy S2 at Pacific Place, Jakarta, with the special price starting from Rp4.1 Mio (USD 500 - 600)
I think it is reasonable price, considering the specs
I remember that I bought HTC Touch HD (Blackstone) at Rp10.5 mio (USD1.100) when it was launched
I heard that Sensation has a death grip issue. So, You might consider waiting till the price of Galaxy S2 drop
Cheers
If you still want to stay with HTC and don't mind a single-core phone, there's always the Desire HD. Same sized screen, but more RAM (same as Sensation but less than SGS2) and newer generation of Snapdragon. It also has a 8MP sensor but I don't know how that compares to the one on the Sensation. It's also about $100 cheaper too. I see one right now that is actually the Inspire 4G but it is unlocked and that is like only $400. I would buy that buy I think my HD2 will last me maybe until the end of this year and then I might move on to Virgin Mobile or something and keep the HD2 as a test phone and for traveling.

Man, you can pick up hd2s for less than 200 on Craigslist... why would you spend 150 on a repair?
even sensations go for 350 max... flippin' eck...

Sensation is far superior to g2x, trust me on this, I've owned both...HD2 is still the most enjoyable experience to be had..
For the holidays I want to get my wife a GSM WP7 phone, but I don't think the HD2 is the right choice for her. Don't get me wrong, I love using my HD2 running WP7, but she isn't as tech savvy as I am.
For the price, I think the HTC Mozart might be the best bet. Newegg is currently selling them for $279 with free shipping. The LG Optimus 7 is the only other WP7 phone with a cheaper price tag, but they don't seem to be built as well as the Mozart. Before I bought my HD2 I purchased 2 LG Optimus 7's and had to return them because the hardware buttons were very flimsy.
Seems like the HTC Mozart is the best WP7 phone for my wife.
What do you guys think?
good choice go with it. or wait till the Nokia Lumia 601 comes out.

Thats probably a better idea, if time permits that is, be a shame to get a device thats effectively being replaced in a few weeks
If you want a simple WP7(stable, fast, smooth, etc...), do not choose HD2 ^^
I went ahead and ordered the mozart. I wasn't sure if it was a good buy, but now I see that Newegg is out of stock after I presumably ordered the last one. I guess I got a pretty good deal.
Hey!
I am thinking of buying the LG G6 here in the UK, and its that or the Samsung S8+.
I'm really struggling which to pick, I like how both phones have the bezels display, but I need some answers from people that on the LG G6. How is the battery, is the display good? Is the 821 snap dragon still fast compared to the 835 that is now out.
I would love some thoughts from owners of the G6

Screen is nice not as deep a colour as the s8 but its still a really nice screen battery is on par with my s8 i had
I never used a the S8, but I owned at least 6 Samsung AMOLED devices over the past 6 years (currently own 2). I was afraid I'd hate the LCD screen on the G6, but I haven't noticed the difference.
Every Apple iphone and ipad ever made is LCD, and I never heard a single complaint about the screen quality.

They are both great devices. I cant justify spending so much for Samsung for their gimmicks.
LG G6 - coming from an iPhone 7 Plus user - is a fantastic device. Performance and battery life has been equal.
Hey guys,
I I'm thinking about getting the g6. My carrier would sell it to me for 300 euros which is a pretty good deal on my opinion.
I'm not a big fan of LGs skin though. I would theme it for the time being. But do you think custom ROMs will be developed (like LOS or an AOSP build)? And how's the update situation on LG phones. Will the g6 get O in a timely matter?
Thanks in advance!

If you want to mod it buy an European H870 (not ds)
For the update lg usually is one of the first oem to release major updates, but it's really slow in releasing security patches, in fact we are still on April patch
LG G6 is the best from LG, good battery life with fast battery charging, perfect camera even better than the Galaxy S8, a very good smartphone.
I have used Galaxy S7 Edge and I compared the S8 with the LG G6, and finally I picked G6, I can honestly say G6 is better than the S8
I'm thinking of getting the G6, but as the bootloader is locked for H870DS there is no development so no LineageOS. Which means the phone is not future proof after LG stop supporting it.

Get the LG H870 single SIM international version, there's development for it such as TWRP, custom kernel, custom ROM as well as root. It's a shame that LG only supports bootloader unlocked on few variants but I think for the H870DS , nope.

I really need dual SIM.
If LG were more open I think they'd sell more phones.

I bought a G6 after my HTC M9 died.
It's a good phone and it's been the best phone I've ever had in terms of battery life.
If you make the decision to switch make sure you get one of the units that can be rooted tho.
I would stay with the 10. It's still a very good phone with great audio quality and fast performance
Generally I was very happy with my HTC 10, except battery just went to **** after a year. I went from roughly 3.5 hoirs of SOT to 6-6.5 hours when I got G6. Aside from this, phones are on par. The HTC definitely beats non-quad-DAC model in SQ.
