sell it... to me... $100
or flash the latest ROMs and try fix all the bugs
that should be entertaining and a great service to the community

Give it to me and get a new phone?
Bit of a strange question. How extraordinary can phones be?
Maybe paint it pink, it would look extraordinary then! Do you like playing games? Get some new games for it.

It is not a gaming device u know, No D-pad or keys... So far im still using the stock ROM, no bugs for me.

I hope it is not a Slingbox/slingplayer case. I would be very happy if there is an all-software solution which utilizes a TV card located on a desktop computer

You can use Orb (www.orb.com)

Get microsoft voice commander, and start having conversations with your phone... (to be fair the conversations are limited to asking it about signal strength, battery levels, date, time and upcoming appointments... but it's fun to see the reaction on peoples faces when you talk to your phone and your phone speaks back to you.
also being able to launch applications and mp3s by speaking is just cool.

That seems quite interesting

Flash your phone with the latest Radio and Dutty's 2.3.
You will be amazed by the speed and added functionality.
Plus, you don't need to get a Touch Pro 2. Dutty's 2.3 utilizes almost the same manila.

Well, call clarity can really have to do more with the radio version you are running, but generally speaking, call clarity is great. The internal and external speaker work fine, so playing video's and music are great. The only crappy part is the processsor speed is a little on the sluggish side, but there is a program called battery status which lets you overclock which helps out some. Personally, I would love to have the HTC diamond, but I don't have 700 bucks for it! There are a lot of custom roms in this forum that help with the speed and stability. Hope this helps.

I thought the diamond had an micro sd card slot, but I might be wrong. Either way, it's too expensive right now. I love my wing, especially with all the roms we have to pick from, and all the customizations for it. I would def recommend it though!
honestyl bought a HTC Touch ELFin, or HTC Prophet

Unfortunately, it does not have a MicroSD slot...
For most things, 200MHz is fine, although BatteryStatus does make a difference in some things.

Just wanted to say since I've had my Touch HD I've had countless support from everyone on here, theres too many names to mention, but today, I received my Touch Pro 2 and will be leaving this forum... (only down the road though, 2 doors down I think).
Never been a better set of people working with a device and I thank each and everyone of you, especially the chefs and their support teams, without you my HD would be no where near as good as it is now.
Hopefully you will all be getting a Touch Pro 2 and coming to help me there, but until then, I'll only be in this forum in dribs and drabs helping where I can until I sell my HD.
Au revoir!

NICE... Congrats Pal. I will be seeing you shortly in that section too. I am waiting for T-Mobile to release that device for us here in the US so that we'll have the 3G capabilities .
But Touch HD would still be one of the top devices I have used.
I will chk out your reivew on the TouchPro (Rhodium) section if you have one.
Congrats on your new mobile.
I need a help from you if possible.
Iam also planning to buy a touch pro 2.
But, it will be really helpful for me if you can give me few details about your new phone.
1. Is it having the same yellowish tint as Touch HD screen?
2. Have you tested the out of box video playback ? is it the same as HD or any improvement (I mean some updates video drivers??
3. What about the battery life? (too early i know , but still)
Thanks in advance
Goodluck and congrats on your new device my friend...
have fun, moved thread to blackstone
But why do you leave this beautiful thin device THD and get this ugly fatty TP2?
Nice mate,
i wish you all the best there.
i wanted to get a TP2 but it was not yet released when i flushed my X1 so i got HD.
btw TP2 has a 0.2 inches smaller screen, can u live with that?
for me, i will not get a TP2 unless an external KB is essential.
best of luck

Haha, I know what you mean, but with this device being narrower and a bit fatter, it actually feels better in the hand. Plus I want a hardware KB, this has it where the HD obviously don't. Love both devices, can't fault either.

You don't really notice the difference, whats 0.2"!!! No seriously, you don't notice the difference but the screen does look a lot clearer than the HD for some reason, I thought they were the same. Seems more responsive too.
Has more on front too, nice to have a Start Menu button and a home button as well as the hardware Zoom slider, Front notificaiton light is always nice too

Will let you know these, haven't tested them as yet. Not sure what you mean about the yellowish tint?? Video playback I would imagine is the same as this is driver issue not hardware.
Battery life actually has a monitor on it from last full charge, so will let you know in next few days about that, fully charging it now so tomorrow will be day 1
Congrats on your new device!
Personally i prefer those 0.2" and a 3.5mm jack
Congrats on your TP2!! I'm doing the same once it arrives in the USA 7/22 for T-Mobile 3G!!
Thanks friend.

I was the same as you to be honest, a little bit pesemistic about the tp2 as I had my Blackstone, I didn't know what could be better, but I needed the hw kb.
To my amazement, the screen is clearer and more responsive, but don't get me wrong, if it wasn't for the hw kb, I wouldn't have changed.
Love both devices, just waiting for HSPL and roms to start flying about

Ok, again, not had chance to check video but will be doing that later today.
Battery.... A nice feature is that when you go into settings--power, there is an information tab at the end, which displays the time you have used it.
So far, my battery has depleated 11% (I'm on 89% left) with factory stock ram and so far I have...
19 hours, 10 minutes standby
41 minutes talktime
44 minutes device usage
Device usage is just when you have the device out of standby, whilst I've been doing this I've installed about 15 programs, set up Tom Tom, used Tom Tom for 10 minutes and also been playing with settings... So far I'm quite impressed.
I've also sent/received 32 text messages.
Hope this helps
Think I'll hold off purchasing any new phones until something comes along and blows my mind away. Unfortunately the TP2 didn't do this for me, but have fun anyhow.
@ nicelad_uk - Best of luck with your new baby. I hope you were well rested beorehand mate

yes but this is not a simple cab fix. its a system remake. i did alot of research and time given to enable this ability. as you no if this is how quake runs imagine every other graphic intensive program. im still making it better. so look out for something soon.
will this work on the touch pro 2? and by graphic intensive do you mean 3d or 2d graphics? Have you contacted Neo about this?

2d and 3d. see neo is developing drivers, this is a OS remake. But yes soon i will be lending a hand with my ideas. still finishing this project first.
Its very time come soming.lol
and no touch pro 2 not supported right now because i cant really test it and besides some things used here arent compatible with the 2, because of its hardware downgrade.
VERY cool.. is this currently only for the CDMA/Sprint, or will you be working on it for the ATT Fuze / GSM TP as well?
amazing job, my man. glad to see progress in this entity of mobile gaming!

I am keeping my 128Mb Uni too, just moved to Xperia with HD port ROM - TF3D etc. So yes, I will be popping in from time to time as well. My Uni will always be my Toy of the Year.... nevermind the year
Actually, I prefer reading my books and watching my movies on my Uni due to the screen size.

In case you have a smoker in your familiy, take out the silver paper inside of the pack,
wrap it around a pen and try it out.
You know the hd2's touchscreen is pretty bad compared to todays standards.

Yeah, I kinda agree. I look at some of the image editing apps occasionally and cannot imagine how I could get the precision of my mouse from my fingers (not that the apps are quite like Photoshop either)
