It's 2009 and the magician is kind of 'oldie'
there are phones that surpass it in performance.
I wonder, how many users are still there true to our ol'friend?
Still use mine.
Had it for 4 years. Never had a problem with it & still using the original battery.
Build quality was superb on this device, unlike the crunchy plastic Diamond/Touch Pro.
Only other HTC device to match build quality was the Kaiser.
I have recently sold my work Touch Pro & got my unused Orange Contract Kaiser out of it's box as the crunchy plastic fantastic Pro with it's useless front panel buttons were driving me nuts.
Long live the HTC Legends.

all the afternoon i wait for the Armstrong Linux to finish updating...
I have a 2nd hand one...
seems to be a tough bastard the magician, heh?
Mine is now used by my 9 year old son.
i sure would like to see linux on it for the vast amount of software available then...
I'm buyed second hand magician and I like it. The only problem is lack off wi-fi and non-working programs build for wm05/06.
I have Motorola MPx200 too.
I have bought it 8 monthes ago 100$ and now can't see myself whithout it

I have one 4 years old. Battery is giving problem now as the set resets at 37% of battery charge.
It is used by my wife now......
lol
so there are still active Magician users...
I wonder how many would be interested in Linux on them?
and how good a linux could become on a mobile device?
maybe to start an other pool?
I still use it every day. 3 years old. No problems at all. I even don't want a new phone. In the beginning battery life was 4 days, now only 2. That is still more than today's devices. I will use it untill it breaks.
I have also used the latest Diamonds from my work but they cannot convince me. For navigation I have a few PNA's. The magician is only for PDA/Phone as it was designed to be. Rock Solid.
Cheers

not a hard thing to be ;-)
I'm also still using my Magician. And for months I was looking for a new WM fone. It isn't because my Magician is not good anymore, it's just I'd like to have one with a newer OS. I'm a tech-whore sometimes. But now as there is a WM6.1 rom for the Magician I don't see why I need a new "toy".
After more than 3 years of use, second battery and one case change (I dropped it, and it got terrible dents) it works fine for me. Actually I don't know if the battery I'm using is the original or the second one I bought, one of them died and they look identical.
So I guess I'll try the WM6 rom and get a case change for the 2nd time, 'cause I've dropped it again several times, and the batterycover doesn't fit as tight as it used to be anymore and it comes off from time to time causing my Magician to power off.
On ebay the whole 3-parts-case costs only 9 euros, including disassembly tool. 5 euros for a new touchscreen if needed and 15 euros for a 2500mA lipo battery on ebay. That's 30 euros for a "new fone", lots of fun and excitement changing the case myself, and my Magician serving me for 2 more years!
Hello!!!
I can only say that Iam worst than any of you...
Today i bought second-hand Magician!!! ;-)
And Iam totaly new to Win phones and its sooooo interesting for me!
(By) (the) (way), this is my first post!
Cayman,
welcome aboard
I hope You enjoy You phone, and contribute to all using it
Thank U!!!
Iam advanced user of PC Windows platform and mobile phones but only for Symbian and "not so smart ones" ;-)))
Iam totaly new to all Pocket PC/Windows Mobile thingy...If someone have some spare time just to give me some guidelines for using WM i would be gratefull
Well after 5 months with this baby I finally decide to sale it, I was one of those who purchase it when they just appear on the market past December.
I got the pink spot, wish was practically solve by HTC also and worst bug I got was distortion sound with echo plus some times unable to rise the volume.
Also scrolling contacts was very tricky, I spend few months in how to find a way around with it and thanks to xda and you users, I learn a lot about WM
En plus so many crashes, when ever I push my phone to his limits ones he got hot he will crash.
Well during five months I learn to live with it I ask him the minimum and under that circumstances he would not crash
So what I got today day is a since 2 days new Htc Desire and so far fantastic! I been pushing this new baby to his limits and no one single crash, the sound is ok plus I can do a million things I could no do with the HD2
By the way I bought the Piel Frama case Htc Hd2 here in Xpancys Hong kong and I wont be able to use it, if some one there who happens to live in Shenzhen or HK I am almost giving it away paid 60 euros want 20 mint conditions
I haven't fallow much whats up with the hd2 lately, but I am sure many new things have change thanks to xda, so I am sure you are all enjoying your phone as much I did even he gave me some headaches
Sheers
Good bye for HD2 section. Hope this will be the last time you are here. Way too many thread like this.
I played with Desire and it's really boring, and even sluggish when I just slide some page on Sense, press a couple of apps include web browser. Browser speed quite good but not as good as it is advertised, the screen as well.
I can say to u that HD2 can do million things that Desire cant. My HD2 never crashed for normal day usage, only crashed if I install stuffs at my own risks. And it never gave me headaches, just gave me curiousity of what I can do more.
Anyway, good luck and wish u happy with ur choice this time.

so your phone is a guy?
This is my question - all of you out there who know that windows mobile 6.5 is a dead os for lack of a better term and also know that the development for apps for it is going to taper and die off at some point, I'd like to know what exactly is keeping you with a dated OS on a high end phone that will eventually hit a brick wall if it hasn't already with regards what it can do and what the OS will let it accomplish.
I just feel that the phone is such a waste with being limited to wm 6.5 yet having the power to do so much more. Frustrating. I was one of those who did the daily normal usage thing and it couldn't keep its wits about it. Not fun.

Why get an HD2? Because it can email, surf, navigate, game, shoot video and take pictures, take notes, create documents, play music and videos, other stuff I cant think of - and make phone calls too in a slim, stylish, good looking power-packed form that represents the state of the art of current WM phones, why would anyone NOT get an HD2?
My HD2 was with me this weekend on a trip to Minneapolis, stopped over in Chicago, no free wifi so I tethered my laptop wirelessly, in MN connected it to my laptop again iwth my cable and played the music on my storage card, used it to wake me up next day to get to the airport on time, in between made some calls, got my email, and it worked perfectly. I never once felt I needed some "app" to make my device more useful, it all just worked. Shame you cant see beyond the "apps" but as far as Im concerned, its far, far from a dead end.
i just bought my telstra hd2 and so far have no problems. i bought it knowing that wm 6.5 is some what a dying breed but still has lots of apps and uses. i do believe that others will start pulling out of developing apps for wm 6.5, just like skype and adobe.
its ashame that the hd2 might not be upgradable to wm 7 but the dev out here are great and may make things happen.
i dont care too much about android but it would be nice to have this option for newers apps and so hopefully when my hd2 gets boring, the port of android may be feasable. i would rather like to see a webos port over android tho.
good luck with your new phone.
Threads like this are dumb. Move on.
That said, your Desire is boring.

Lol I am not poor, withing the past 300 days I bought 1 nokia 5800, 2 nokia 97,1 nokia 900 wish i send back the day after and finally since 2 days 1 Htc Desire
So I think to have some experience with mobile phones, they all have the good and the wrongs even desire has one thing that I don't like Cannot select and copy text of your incoming sms....! The only work around is forward and then you can work on the text.
And yes I am hunting the no bugs, super ultrasonic mobile pone hope to get it before 2020 lol
my HD2 is also a guy with the leathercase my HD2 looks like an
Hellsangels-Member
but come on ... stop this stupid postings about our new and FU*KING-GREAT devices like iphone ...
Good Luck
..with your Desire..
But i think some guys, like you, miss the point!
Devices like the Androis's/AlppleOs's are Phones with extra's, so you can call it
"Smartphone"
The HD2 is a Smartphone with extra's , so you can call it "PocketPc/PDA"
BTW: The HD2 is something between PPC and Smartphone and this
is exactly what i've searched for.
If i wan't to use a "phone" i take
my "Nokia e66" (it also have a very good office sync and similar funktions to the HD2 - Wlan,Gps,OfficeTools) and i will be happy.
Otherwise i want to use a big f***ing 4,3" touchscreen (with WM6.5) and i'm much more happier.
So..please.... if you don't want to use your HD2.. sell it and shut up.
PS: the Desire is a very nice phone, too!!
(sorry for bad english)

What a [email protected]#$%^& phone!
Runs the Latest version of android AND runs the latest Version of win mobile.
Can't you also install unbuntu?, winxp ? lol
amazing...and a solid performer....considering u can get a used unit online for sub 200$ its almost stupid not to own one of these...
I am running the latest Cynagogen mod and have gutted it with root un-installer and replaced the gutted apps with my own...
the result is a 100% customized smart phone....
how do you run xp?
it practically can run all those OS
BUT with a lot of bugs and issues
the only os that can run it with less problem is winmo 6.5
and that doesn't make it the phone of decade

I don't really have any problems on Android or WP7.
Yeah there are SOME not A LOT of bugs, but most of them are fixed for the Android port and the WP7 port isn't really official yet so I'm sure more bug fixes are on their way. Microsoft stopped supported 6.5 a while ago so whatever bugs it had weren't fixed. Maybe to dub it the phone of the decade is a little much, but it's definitely the most versatile phone of the decade.
Ubuntu, Android, WinMo 6.5, WP7, and probably more.

I Don't know about you, but in the latest versions of Nandroid I Didn't have no bugs at all, and in WP7 the bugs the HD2 users experience is exactly what other users of WP7 experience, meaning those are OS issues.
Besides, if i'd have to choose which OS works worst on the HD2, i'd choose WinMo 6.5.
And we should always remember that Android, Wp7, Ubuntu, Meego, and all other OSes that are currently in development for the HD2, are just that, IN DEVELOPMENT.
Thank the devs and try to enjoy =].
yes, im running cyan mod7 ver 2.4 and could not be happier...
ZERO issues.. and as i also stated I have removed most of the system apps and replaced them with better market apps...
with clock work i have backed up the rom and have the a2sd+ partition so i can switch roms directly from my sd card and have all my apps installed right when i boot...I'm coming from a nokia N97 and this phone is just head and shoulders above that...

I was lucky. I bought my HD2 before the developers picked it out for fame and glory. It, unknowingly, became the most hackable phone and I am sure it will remain so through 2011. However, I am wondering which phone will take the crown in 2012 because surely the HD2 can't be the best phone in the world for 3 years in a row.

lol, You obviously havent been using the same phone as us or havent had much experience. simple as that.
/\ took the words right out of my mouth! lol
+1 Amazing phone...
I 've been on the same Android SD build for one month now, with zero issues, so many different uses, and 2 days full battery life thanks to the Extended Kit (which I love just as much for it's kickstand!).
I want to switch ROMs (used to be a flash-junkie) and when the right Honeycomb build comes along, I will. But I'm just so happy with my set-up I really can't ake myself. Even with it being so easy to drop and restore different ROMs onto your SD card, I'm not even doing it!
And Android is amazing software. Maybe HTC putting 6.5 on the HD2 was simply because every phone needs a flaw, and they couldn't find a way to do it with hardware!
i'm wondering if HD2 prices skyrocket now on ebay. i've heard about many people wanting to buy it because it is cheaper than a desire HD but with the same functions (well, DHD got more ROM but its speakers appear to be really bad)
Phone of the decade!?!?!
We're 3 weeks into the 2nd year of it!!!!!!!
To say the HD2 is the phone of the decade would be a fair statement. No other mobile phone out there is as old as the HD2 and still in the upper end of top smartphones.
And there are endless opportunities! You can use WM6.5 and Android STABLE, WP7 will take maybe 2 weeks and you can use is for daily use... Ubuntu is fully compatible, Meego is also an interesting OS, Ports of every Windows-PC-OS like Seven is usable (there are some errors, but many approaches are here)...
I had an iphone4 for some time and switched back to the hd2 because the iPhone has a big handicap against the HD2... There is not a bit open-source...
With the HD2 everything is possible and thats the reason, why it's imo the phone of the decade!
Best regards
+1. I'm sooo glad I didn't sell my HD2 after I got fed up with WM6.5 and bought a Milestone (that was a mistake -_-).
It sure is the Phone Of The Decade!! Please Support the Best hTC device of 2010.

I always wanted to try the Motorola Droid X but never was available worldwide only as a cdma unit in US.
Personally, the HD2 has undoubtedly won this award and anyone else telling you otherwise is talking up their [email protected]@....
Between the ease of modification and all the different avenues you can direct the phone into, I am hard pressed to find another candidate to dethrone the HD2. Part of the appeal has to be the price. You can get one for less than $200 on Craigslist or for $50 / free on contract with Tmobile. Talk about a jumping off point with next to no startup and and some of the best and most active devs on these forums... You can't lose. Combine that with a big screen, 1ghz (before overclocking) processor, expandable memory, etc etc etc.
I don't think it is pretentious to call it the device of the decade. You won't find a flexible base to build upon like WinMo for a long time.
I don't know if its the phone of the decade, but it is an awesome phone. Got the warranty on mine so I can make sure if it has issues I can keep using it after the 1 yr mfr warranty expires. The only thing that would make this better is a front facing camera IMO.

And?? ...What has that got to do with the price of fish?
Just because its only a year old, doesn't mean it isn't the best phone in the last 10 years. Do you even understand the concept of this topic, its about the past 10 years, not the next!!

his point is valid, but not well interpreted. technically we are in a new decade. ease up, man
Just curious what people have to say about this statement...
yes it is , think about it you have 3 phones in one (for now (wm,wp7,android))
wm 500 euro+-
wp7 500 euro+-
android 500 euro+-
In my opinion its the best device but the most people think the phone is "crap" because it is almost 2 years old... and that's wrong! My HD2 is better than DHD and the other ones
Yep, superram froyo still remains one of the fastest roms out there, even faster than nand to me. In fact, it is even faster than my old nexus one and on par with a Vibrant on Darky's 9.3!
Long Live the HD2
I got my own prayer mat - arab worship "Allah"
I worship my HD2 - feel guilty tho' as i'm only praying, praising and thanking my HD2 50 times a day - it deserves more!!
will try to improve error of my ways ;-)
matt
its the best.
It has everything even 720P video recording on windows phone 7 ^^ I mean what more do you really expect of a 2 year old phone
I don't want to jinx it now but I really would not have a single clue what phone would replace my HD2 (running Gingerbread MDJ 2.6) if it went bad!!
love it!

I consider it one of the best phones on the market. Especially considering it's age. The amount of internal memory on the american HD2's is off the chain.
HD2 > Girlfriend
Overall yes i would say so. Reasons being you can get it relatively cheap, it has great/modern hardware, able to boot 4 OSes, meaning it can probably suit everyone's needs, stable/smooth/fast.
However the best device in terms of performance? That's hard to say. In android? It's obviously beaten by other 1ghz android devices. WP7? People are saying it beats even the HD7, but are they comparing it to a HD7 with tweaks also or just stock? Ubuntu it obviously can't compare to a real computer. Winmo it is the best.
But as said, its still the best device overall, atleast in my perspective.
I was eagerly waiting for the 2011 WMC to see what new phones were headed our way this year. I was thouroughly dissapointed to be fair. If I had to get a new phone right now, I would get the best phone currently on the market today which is.. an HD2!
You're damn right !
The more I become familiar with my Leo the more I'm proud of having bought it instead of any common Ifone..
Yeah its still a top device.People are still asking what phone is that or is that the new one,its still a looker,nice and smart,ok its not as nice as HD7 in looks but it can still perform just aswell,This was htcs answer to the Toshiba TG01 and relesed it back in nov 2009 at £499,most people have forgoten the TG01 now,had a look on handtec.co.uk ,Desire HD £369.59 HD7 £371.99 HD2 £367.19 just goes to show,this phone is still holding its value well,its still more expensive new than a desire,all these came out after HD2,you got huge backing on here.it boots several OSs,you cant really ask any more from a phone,its still an amazing phone,never known a device like it and i look a desire hd or an incredible S and i think,my phone can do that,just as good.The HD2,its deffinently a real iPhone killer

What if you ask this question on a Steve's worshipers forum ?
After 15 months with my HD2 (99% positive), I have decided to move on. I knew it would come at some time, but I had not expected to move until next year. When AT&T (my carrier since 1992) came out with two Android, LTE-capable phones with better screens, faster processors, etc., I decided it was time to give up on Windows Mobile 6 and try Android. I know a lot of you have already swapped out WM for Android on the HD2, but I stayed with WM because I had a lot of apps that I still used from my old PDA days. Also, the HD2 on AT&T was slow because I could get only Edge/2G speeds. So, it was time to go.
However, my HD2 will remain in use at least for a while. I am not sure yet I can find good Android apps as replacements for some of my WM apps. It still works with WiFi. I have a good PDA now.
Thanks for all the advice I found here. It's been a good experience. Now, I will be over at the HTC Vivid forum.
Good luck to all.
Out of curiosity, what apps do you miss?

I have a genealogy program that is very good. I have not yet found an Android genealogy program that matches it, although I will be testing some. I have a number of books purchased for now obsolete readers (MS Reader, eReader) that I don't want to re-purchase from B&N or Amazon. I use Laridian's PocketBible, but the developer is working on an Android version. I like mapping programs that don't require me to have wireless access all the time. I've got to find Andrioid replacements for a couple of good topo map programs.
I suspect I will find replacements for the programs I use the most, but it will take time. It's an adjustment going to Android after 6-7 years of Windows Mobile programs on PDAs and the HD2.
jealous...i'm stuck with mine til feb.
being a broke (bills are more important than buying a $600 phone every 4 weeks) smartphone owner has caused my unfortunate union to go 2 full years with the most irritating experience 87% of the time.
yeah, sd droid...but becomes useless (on my phone) after a few days. fc is bs!
nand? i have a 2 year w/insurance, not gonna risk it thanks.
I still have a fave5 plan, w/5gb, and unlimited talk/text for the same price as the new 2gb plans w/1000 min talk unlimited text, so month to month is out
as much as i avoided the bubblegum feel of droid and defend wm, this is where i pour gas on the leo and send it to hell.
well, in feb. that is.
pos [email protected] dog phone...
anyway, congrats on bailing the once hoppin' leo forums!
Good luck and have fun and always a broad bandwith with your new device
Thanks Bruce, for what its worth I keep WM installed purely for TomTom, but as I've not opened it in six months, I'm thinking of NANDing it. To the other guy who posted negatively about SD builds, search the SD forum for "motorman evo black blue remix". Its an oldy but a goody. I used it for 8 months with barely ever an FC or a restart (in fact my phone would be on for weeks before I even bothered the restart it manually). I've recently changed to a "Desire Z" build, which is less stable but gives me landscape sense. Anyway, try that first ROM for a few months, I believe it won't disappoint

thank you, i will try it!
i LOVE how my leo behaves w/sd droid (EVERYTHING WORKS SMOOOOOTHLY!!!) so when they go buggy i get overly cranky.
goodness, is wm 6.5 that AWFUL that everything else works flawlessly when 6.5 chokes on the best phone ever made?!?
i am eyeballing the amaze...no early adopting for me, not after this!
Whoops I said motorman, and I meant motoman.
