Can't test GPS yet because i don't have TomTom install. Build Quality is very very good.
Camera much much better than Universal, very happy with it! I have bought a miniSDHC , and i ask the camera to store my pic there, set it to 3M pixel, with highest quality, times to store is like 1 sec, very very fast!
Even the front camera is better than the Universal Main Camera, and man, the screen is HUGE, so nice to take photo with this screen.

Video playback seems fine, but need to do more testing on large film. Speakers are very good! Much better than Universal.

Sorry faisal.husain, forgot to answer your question here, although the base system is in chinese, but all the new software you install will be in english. So if you install English TomTom, yes it will be in english

N93 is a good phone
but it isn't a pocket pc
the camera is 3.2 MP and Video Recording is very very good
the screen is not big but the quality is very good
and end phone if N Series is N95
that's Camera is so better than N93. it is 5 MP and Video Recording Quality is DVD
but my idea is athena is the best phone/pocket pc in the world now
sorry for my long post

Please say more about video recording. tanX

no, it's not really shock resistant, you will need to hold it with your finger, otherwise it will fall down

wBEER or SOmethinG?

I know that this would just be a useless application with no purpose at all, but you have to admit it would be really cool! There are tons of applications on the web for the iPH*** like iBEER, and iMUNCHIES and so forth. There useless but really cool party tricks. It doesn't seem like it would be hard to make it for windows mobile. Does anyone have any Idea how this works, or if it is possible? Anyone interested or willing to give it a shot?
If you don't know what this is just go to youtube.com and type in iBEER , iMILK, iMUNCHIES , my personal favorite iBUG, or iWATER
THERE EXTREMELY COOL PARTY TRICKS!!!

THE GIRLS!!!
OH YEH, I forgot the girls! CHECK OUT iWASH also. I take back my previous statement, this is by far the cooles!!!! CHECK THEM OUT and someone figure this out please!!!

Aren't these just videos and not actual programs?

Ive been looking for something to use as a s2u2 background for months but luck

They may be just vids, Im not sure. But if so, how are the activated so fast, & no outline of another program!!!!!!!!!!

they use the iphones built in accelerometer to tilt the liquid in the screen. the same thing could be done with a video but you'd have to time it

Actually they don't. They are for the most part nothing more than videos. Trust me. A friend had them on his iPhone, gave them to me and I had them playing on my 8525 for a few weeks when I was using an iPhone theme. I set a hardware button to launch coreplayer with the chosen video as the last played item in full screen on start.
The hardest part was converting the video format and getting the screen size and orientation correct.

I have a friend who had a water themed one and it poured out when he tilted the phone, this could only be due to an accelerometer because it never just poured after a certain time limit only after he tilted it, i have seen others that are videos though

Hi xmoo,
The lock screen issue you can probably solve with a setting.
I have one question, what about the screen, it has been asked before but no real clear answer in other topics. Is it made of Glass or Plastic?

i've got some ...
1- how it plays 720p videos ? any lag ?
2- do u have any idea about having native usb-host ?
3- hows the screen contrast ? feel bad about having huge pixels ?

Can you post some photos and videos?
Thanks

iPhone 3Gs user, played with HD2 today...help!

I am a true iphone user for a year now, but thats only because i always want to have the greatest phone. I had a touch diamond before from htc, and it sucked.
Here is what i dislike about the touch diamond:
-Needed a reboot every day.
-Slow.
-Ram becomes filled with nothing quickly.
-sms messages dont arrive sometimes.
-did i mention it was freaking slow?
This is why i chose a touch diamond:
-Touchflow 3d is superb.
Well the iPhone 3gs is certainly better then a touch diamond, but today i saw the HD2 in the store and now im really confused what phone i want.
I have a iphone 3gs and love the huge collection of apps and games.
Like music reconition, watching the newspapers quickly, all the jailbreak emulators, tv guide, jibbigo speech translator, and some other apps.
Again a list of things i like and dislike.
iPhone 3gs things i like:
-Easy.
-Smooth.
-Simple.(has disadvantage)
-Fast, blazing fast!
-The App Store.
iPhone 3gs things i dislike in comparision to the experience i had with HD2 today, and pro's of the HD2:
-Simple. I have to launch a app to get information on my 3gs. With the HD2 you have about 10 things at desame time.
-The screen of HD2.....the size of the screen, the colors and the resolution.
It really made me in love.
-5MP camera with a flash has the HD2, but i know the camera of the iphone is good even with 3,2MP.
-The HD2 has skyfire, and i can watch youtube videos with the builded in browser or not?
-The HD has such a beautiful weather function.
Con's why i still choose for iPhone 3Gs:
-The HD2 aint got the app store. Windows marketplace is a joke so far.
-I dont got beautiful experience with windows mobile.(reboots, ram getting full, not fast but rather slow performance.
-iPhone 3gs got nice and clean sms chat system.
Thing i dont know yet what will help me decide:
-Does the HD2 got flash player in the browser? so i can watch youtube without the decicated app for youtube videos?
-Is the HD2 fast and will it hold being fast?
-Battery Life any good in comparision to the iPhone 3gs?
-Do i have to reboot alot?
-Is the sms receive issue solved already in some firmware update or cooked rom?
-Are there cool 3d games available?
-Are there augmented reality apps and text scanners? (to get text from a photo)
-Are there apps that can replace the apps i use on my iphone the most?
(music reconition for knowing what song is on, a good nice designed msn messenger, decibel meterwebcam viewer, metal detector(because compass) and a app to make encrypted notes?)
Finally, i want to say that im not an apple fanboy. Im a fanboy of the best phone, and im really having a large decision to make here. i love both devices so far.
Any replys will be welcomed alot
Thanks, Borg Queen X.

Skyfire lets you watch flash in browser
I think there's a fix for Opera to allow flash as well
-Is the HD2 fast and will it hold being fast?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, it's very fast, and only going to get faster with the 1.6x/2.x roms (not to mention the cooked roms in development)
Battery Life any good in comparision to the iPhone 3gs?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Better than the iPhone 3gs even with stock rom, but only slightly. Users of the 1.6x roms report better battery life than stock rom, so yes.
Do i have to reboot alot?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't have to reboot often, as far as I'm concerned it's an always-on device. Only times I have to reboot is when installing some apps
Is the sms receive issue solved already in some firmware update or cooked rom?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't have the sms issue, only because I don't text much! But it can be resolved by disabling HTC messaging and using pocket outlook. I'm sure there will be a fix for the HTC messaging soon.
Are there cool 3d games available?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There are some very nice games like Texas HoldEm Poker, Asphalt 4, Guitar Hero 5, Sonic, Prison Tycoon, Pool Rebel, Flight Commander, Hawx, The Game of Life, Real Soccer 2010, Electopia, Need For Speed - these all have good graphics and very good gameplay on the HD2
Are there augmented reality apps and text scanners? (to get text from a photo)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not sure about this, maybe someone else can say for sure
Are there apps that can replace the apps i use on my iphone the most? (music reconition for knowing what song is on, a good nice designed msn messenger, decibel meterwebcam viewer, metal detector(because compass) and a app to make encrypted notes?)

There's music recognition by Shazam, nice MSN messengers, not sure about the others but again someone should be able to say.

My friend just bought an iPhone and I've compared the two, we both like the HD2 more than the iPhone, he can't get it on his network so he's not very happy
The future looks bright for the HD2 with WM7 coming out soon and lots of chefs on this forum looking to cook up some sick roms, so my unbiased opinion is go for the HD2 if you don't mind tweaking it to get the best experience. If you want a device that achieves its full potential straight out of the box then go for the iPhone.

Hello,
A long list of questions which I will answer as follows:
If you like the HD2 because you have had time to play with it AND it will satisfy your needs rather than you wanting "the best phone" because you get bragging rights with your mates then go for it provided:
- you are happy spending time tweaking it
- happy to search on here for solutions to problems and issues
- enjoy flashing roms and can live with the occasional lockups.
If you like things nice and easy,
- don't have the time to tweak your device
- consider your investment in iphone too good/too much to throw away
- want a device that does what it says on the tin time after time
then stick with the iphone.
Its as simple as that.
WB

thanks! Tweaking is not a problem. Im a jailbreaker myself.
Is it certain that the HD2 will support windows mobile 7? Or is it just a rumour?
Ofcource the specs support the OS...but that wont say it will be released for this phone.
By the way i have another thing...when i was in store today ive tilted the phone up and down...And i saw alot white dots on the screen....maby the touchscreen? Anyways it was not really beautiful.

Happy to search, but i do want to find the solution. I dont like sms messages im sending that wont arrive for instance.

WM7 upgrade was confirmed by official HTC rep on twitter but removed soon after, make of that what you will.
The grid isnt a problem for me, I can barely see it, it doesnt show at all when the screen is on. Build quality of the phone is top notch, can't recommend it highly enough.

Read the hints and tips thread in this forum to give yourself a taste of what you are letting yourself in for. If after reading you are still happy then you don't need us to tell you what to do.
What you must not do after purchase though is to come on here wailing about what a bad buy it was and how you wish you had stayed with the iphone because all you will get is a serious kicking!
Good luck with your decision.

whoa so many tweaks....awesome!
I wont whine about a bad buy if it works fine. But i dont want a similar experience to the touch diamond i had some time ago. I can smack it on the concrete instantly.

I own a HD2 and I trully like it. One of the best buys I've made.
Nonetheless, I came from a HTC Hero, so I should warn you about some details.
It's harder to find the app you want, because there isn't a true "market", like on Android or Iphone OS. Apps don't have a stylish look (they remind me of old Windows 3.11). There's less variety of apps.
Of course there are exceptions and Roms are a different matter (the xda community is very active).
If you're ok with this, go grab one

yeah i know it from the touch diamond. it is something im gonna miss, but not that much.
But the screen, skyfire, tweaking and touchflo are the main things that drag me to the side of windows mobile once again.
What im scared of is that damn HTC and Microsoft wont give our HD2's windows mobile 7. But if that is released end 2010, i will have a other phone anyways. But a date is not really known right?
Ive seen some 3d games running on the HD2, but i dont think there will come more that fast....

Im also wondering what browser will be faster with tweaks applied(from sticky topic here)

NOOB-----Time Thats the real problem...lol
Sounds like to me you are a NOOB at Windows mobile I own over 6 HTC phones my main phone is the Touch pro2 Nrg 6.5.3 Leo landscape rom and when I had my Fuze it was Fast as ever with full flash web browsing unlike iphone safari see thing is most people have no ideal how are what to do to a windows phone so they just end up saying it cant do things my windows phones had been made into mini laptops as you can see below in some of my screen shots you might wanna ask your self are you ready for a windows phone not is a windows phone ready for you....?

Personally I'm going to try android, probably the xperia x10.
One thing about the HD2 though, is xda devs.
I can only imagine what some of the cooks are going to achieve with such an awesome piece of hardware...............

Still a hard decision to make...advantage is i wont lose money selling my second hand 3gs and buying a new leo.

i think the biggest let down of iphone is the screen resolution.. seriously.. how that happen? I would seriously consider iphone if it weren't for the poor resolution. 320x480.. yeah right..
camera and all is really great with hd2.. with the pink blob fix and the extra fine quality patch, takes superb pictures. couldn't be happier.
FPSece!! PSX emul.. friggin awesome, tho there's a on screen button lag issue which should be sorted quick as the "paid" version has this sorted.
movies... supports most avi and stuff without encoding. tho I had issues playing mp4 I downloaded from youtube.. strange enough that didn't play smooth on TCPMP, and coreplayer didn't even want to try. But most of dvd rips (700mb) movies play great on hd2.
web browsing is much nicer with bigger screen especially on landscape, you don't need to zoom in to read.
HD2 has the BEST GPS. you don't even need a clear line of sight, works in doors and plenty of SAT nav to choose from.
Most of the apps that are popular and common on iphone would be available here on xda. it would do the similar task. so give xda a good search.
I had to reset my phone a lot, take the battery out and all.. but that's because I was on 1.43 stock and I had so much crap installed and removed.. played with too many things and it was like half broken.
recently flashed to Miri's ROM. it's so much smoother and I did have to reset ONCE so far.. it just got stuck on main home screen. But so far so good. might give it another flash to something new soon.
if you've played with HD2, you will notice you don't really deal with winmo 6.5 much.. it's mostly manilla. well at least with the most common tasks. regarding battery, I find it pretty crap to be honest. I wish it was double of what it is now.. it's always on back of my mind, I just use it without thinking too much about it but then the drain on the battery is pretty quick with web browsing and phone calls.. watching movies.. and i haven't even tried playing FF9 yet, wonder how many hours I will get with a full charge. But I think most phones do about similar hours.. well at least you can buy a spare and chuck it on if it runs out.

Alright. Will search for replacement apps.
If i can find them, im on.
Hope i can ask you guys if i cant find some.

I cant find the following apps i use alot on my iphone:
-augmented reality browser > to view near shops, cafe's, bar's, and stuff like that.
-Search name/adress and get phone number, adress and map application. (or does google maps support this?)
-Compass & gps car/location finder.
-Compass & gps star viewer.
-Notes application, with high encryption and password.
-Advanced photo and video editting app.(actually found alot but need the best there is)
-Music creation/beat maker.
Nonsense apps to show off:
seisometer for detecting small vibrations nearby.
beer drinking applications. there is one....but its real crappy.
Gun application.
Voice morphing.
Dice throwing.
Also, all quality games you can think of are welcome.
Especially 3d games.

AFAIK Augmented reality is coming soon according to WMPowerUser. Google maps will search numbers, addresses etc. In fact most GPS software does this now too (Igo, CoPilot). Igo now supports with the help of some amazing guy on here compass direction combined with GPS support. It also works in Google maps. Not sure about password on notes, but you can encrypt the contents of your SD card anyway (basic wm function). Then, you could just password your device anyway. There are advanced photo editing apps, but when you say advanced, you can't mean full Photoshop type functionality with layer masking and blending etc? Use a PC?! There are apps, as with the iphone but I couldn't be bothered to do it on my phone!! Yes there is music creation/beat maker stuff out there.
No seisometer, quite a few beer ones now, yes to gun, yes to voice morphing and yes to dice. A lot of this stuff I've seen on Modaco but a bit of searching always finds what you need.
WM users have an app store that's better than market place. It's called the internet. Okay so you can't download them directly through your phone as easily, but my goodness there are millions of apps and they don't need to be signed off by Apple. It's a free market....woohoo!!
Oh and just to reiterate a point, fpsece 0.10 PSX emulator is amazing! I'm playing FFVII on it and it's just breathtaking!

- There is a "where is my car" application on XDA
- PocketStars may be old but it's powerful and works with your GPS
- Meteor is a great music creation software
- Voice Twister is a cool voice morphing application
- For games, there's a thread about HD2 games in this forum
This is what I can think of for now, there could be more.

thanks!
I have tried to look for some quality games, that support the 3d chip....
But the only games i found where:
-Electopia. (only a demo???)
-Experiment13.
-Xtrakt.
Are there more quality games like these? any thread to get me going?
I found alot of threads but they also had games like assasins creed...and when googling for screenshots it looks real crappy.

NFS Undercover
Racing Academy
Spiderman
Prince of Persia
...
Or just install FPSECE and play those thousands of PSX games, they are better than anything you find in the Marketplace or AppStore or elsewhere...

Own a HTC Snap?

Currently on my X1 and i am sick of it. It keeps breaking and want something simpler and with a nicer feel and the snap seems perfect but i have a few questions...
1)Can it play videos on WMP or Coreplayer if so are they smooth or what not?
2)How long does the battery last?
3)What sort of GPS programs are available like TomTom?
4)Is the camera decent and does it take the pictures fast?
5)You know there is a track ball in the middle? around it there is a circle, does that circle act as four seperate buttons (up,down,left,right) because i dont want to use the ball to navigate all the time
Thanks

That's a downgrade of a phone, so why are you switching?

X1: Too many problems, its annoying and has broken too many times - sending off to sony is so long and want a reliable phone that works - plus i want a cheaper option like this one.
Can you answer any of my Q's?

1)coreplayer works great. there is one version that works well. others dont at all. thread about that as well.
2) day and a half or 2 for battery life. decent use. activesync always on and heavy texting.
3)sygic mobile maps works well for me, there is a thread with all of them that work well in this forum
4)camera is decent if light is good. nothing to brag about but it does the job
5) the trackballl is the only way to navigate. if there is another way i would be happy to know. i personally liked the d-pad type control. but you get used to the trackball pretty quickly.
