Hello to all
I want to buy a new pda, cause my Diamond is getting slow, but i don't know witch one to buy.
I like Blackstone but i don't know if it's fast with the new rom's and so, or after buying i will regret it.
I know there are new models and so but were i live they are too expensive, so i have to stik with the older ones
Please give me your feedback.
With the coming of windows mobile 7 and nvidia tegra chipset i predict huge technological leaps in the terms of ppcs by late 2010 so if you can wait a few months i believe you'll be rewarded...
As for blackstone, i wouldn't recommend it personally although i have one and currently love it. I'd save money to get something better by mid-late 2010. Time flies
The original ROM is quite fast, but not very advanced. If you install a custom rom a lot of new functions come availible and the speed stays the same. You can also go for nice eyecandy, but then you will end up with a littlebit less speed.
For you to decide....
the Diamond is alomst as fast or as slow as the blackstone.
so i do not recommend you to buy a HD.
I also had a Diamond and changed to Hd.
It has a bigger screen, that is all.
But this is only my opinion.
Good luck.

Buy HD2, em 12x sem juros.
+1 for the Touch HD2
If you're going for a Windows Mobile phone, that's the one to get.
The HD has the same CPU and RAM as many other HTC phones, the difference is the 3.8" screen (bigger than any other phone on the market except the HD2).
I use WM 6.1 (topix 3.1.2), I found WM 6.5 and Manilla 2.5 too heavy for this hardware. I do not benefit from a colourful and animation-intensive device if it's slow (like using XP vs Vista on a computer with 1 GB of RAM).

I think you are spot on there. I agree with what you say and even though I currently own a Touch HD, I would also love an Touch HD2, especially for the release of Windows 7 but the price is a big factor. I think it's wise to wait until later this year for the release of other PPC devices that will be competitors to the Touch HD2 and see what they are capable of offering. In my opinion, buying a Touch HD now at this point in time would be a step backwards.
Regards.
In my job I make full use of the 'pda' capability of my trusty Touch HD, and I have been a pda user since the very early 1990s. In terms of upgrading, you just need to ask yourself what you will be using it for! Had to hard reset my Touch HD recently and was very choosey about what software I put back on afterwards. I was really surprised how much faster it was. Easy to be seduced by the impressive HD2 but clearly 2010/11 is going to see some REAL reasons for upgrading from anything that does just about all you want now. Be patient and you are bound to feel your hard earned cash will have been well spent.
hmm, HD isnt much over the Diamond, its essentially the same device with a large display, its a wonderful phone and if you had asked me 6 months ago id say go for it but there is no point just now, too much around the corner later this year, at the very least if you cant afford a new PDA you will find the blackstone price drop and thus save you some cash.
dont get a HD especially on contract as the price between the HD and the HD is not significantly large to warranty bypassing the HD2.
Waiting, thats another discussion altogether, nobody really knows what is coming out and when but if u look at how the market works you will see only slighter better phones trickle out, you wont see major steps i believe. Even if a tegra phone coming out they will find some way to handicap it, perhaps reduced codec support or lack of TV out or something like that.
You really only have three choices I can see, 2 if you discount the nexus if you have concerns about android, Iphone or HD2, iphone if you are not a big tweak fan but you like everything to work well and fast, HD2 if you like speed but love to tweak, then again if you didnt you probably wouldnt be on XDA
The HD2 is ridiculously priced atm though unfortunately. Here's hoping to it dropping down fast into non-business user land.

If I have been given a chance to get a new phone, perhaps it would be the HD2 or the Nexus One (Android) the prices of these phones are just the same as my HD when I bought it last Nov 2008...but the hardware specs have been improved

Agreed, prices are the same as when the HD first came out if not cheaper in some places due to market competition being more fierce now then ever before.
If WM7 doesn't excite you then go Nexus.
Hi,
im in need of a new smartphone, and i have been thinking of buying the Hero since it costs somewhat cheap and almost all the reviews said that its a really good phone, moreover, it looks good.
but some say that its a bit old, and that new phones are really close to get released so i better wait a bit more and get the new ones.
is it a bad/late time to buy a Hero? what do u think of the phone in general? are there enough apps (compared to the iphone)?
or should i want more time and get the new ones? if yes, then is tehre an idea of how much they gonna cost? cuz im not willing to spend much on a phone.
or should i forget all this and just get an IPhone 3G (not the 3gs cuz it costs a lot)?!?!
any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks.
about the iphone... that really is up to u and your personal comfort in a little tinkering with the OS. If you are scared and want things set for u and comfined to what they think it good for u.. then iphone is a good device.
I love my hero and it is great! The Android OS is GREAT and lets the owner more control of what he wants his phone to do.
Yes, it is old tech, but it can handles itself very well. It's OS is scheduled to be upgraded from 1.5 to 2.1 in Q2 (maybe at end of March). This new OS will refresh its abililties.
If you can wait a few months for a new phone...
I would! New phones are scheduled to drop, and what carrier you use will depend on which phone u can get. My guess on the new prices will be $180 -$250. But on the flip side, currently the Hero is $80 with new 2 yr contract.
Again, I love my hero/android...best phone I have ever owned. Most users should be fine with the Hero's abilities.
but I will be looking to upgrade in fall, to new android phone, because I love tech toys.
Hoped i helped.. a little
I got my Hero about 3 weeks ago. Cost me £10 on a 2 year contract with Orange UK.
I considered waiting for the new phones to drop, but after reading about all the problems the Nexus One seems to be having, I decided that a more "mature" handset would be best. Also, any new phone would cost considerably more at launch. If I decide to upgrade the handset in 12 months (although I don't think I will), I can just buy a new one knowing that I haven't spent much on the Hero.
As for the Hero itself I love it! Sure, it could be a little faster or have more RAM, but I'd say that about whatever device I had. I can honestly say that the Hero has changed the way I do many things... from emails, Facebook & Twitter to ebook reading & geo-logging. The Android Market is great, with many great free apps (e.g. Astrid, Listen, etc)
Obviously the choice is yours, but for cost & functionality, I'd recommend the Hero to anyone!
Cheers.
htc hero
I got my HTC Hero yesterday on contract with three uk for £28 per month for 750 mins, unlimited text and internet .... the phone is superb .. it is very easy to set up .. emails come straight to your phone (I was told that 3 email push was available but its not as its not supported but the inbuilt email client is superb) the market place has loads of stuff and the phone is fast and doesnt lag even though ive loads on the screens ....
i looked at the iphone also but pound for pound the hero is best for money and to be honest you will get most apps on the hero ..... and good thing is 90% are free unlike iphone
I had debated to wait for the next htc that 3 uk are getting however the chaps told me its like a brick and thats one thing the hero isnt
highly recomend it !!!
The Hero has a great amount of RAM compared to other android smartphones, I sold my iPhone, and purchased a used (practically new) hero from two chinese foreign exchange students for only $250!
Honestly, with MrBang's proformance ROM, I am a witness to speeds which I thought were't possible on anything but a Nexus One. My phone is snappy and it's speed is comparable to that of an iPhone 3GS.
Not to mention how easy it is to overclock it to 528Mhz (iPhone 3GS runs at 600Mhz)
Just download the widget from the market!
I hope that whatever decision you make, you're happy with what you choose
If you want a phone that will be taken care of, updated timely and frequently, and so forth, get a Nexus One.
If you want a phone that has already been all but abandoned by HTC, with bugs still looming from when it was released, then get a Hero.
It's a nice phone and I have one myself, but really, I think the best phone right now is the Nexus One, since it is supported directly by Google, as opposed to just another phone that HTC is tweaking slightly and throwing down the assembly line.

Iphone 3GS runs at 800mhz AND it's using a far more powerful cpu/gpu, not sure what you're trying to compare.
Hero is kinda outdated, I'd wait for the Legend.
Haha, funny you mention it cause Legend will also be rather outdated hardware wise. Rather go for the Desire.
That's what I'm trying to say. HTC is throwing slightly different hardware into slightly different cases and selling it. They don't appear to be trying to innovate at all. Both of these claims are supported by the fact that their LATEST AND GREATEST is just a Hero redux.
Honestly, the Android phone to have right now is the Nexus One/Desire. Even though the N1 is manufactured by HTC, it is supported by Google. That means it will likely be the first device to get every upgrade until Google decides otherwise. It also has significantly better hardware than the HTC branded LATEST AND GREATEST (i.e. HTC Legend).
I would not go the Hero route at all if I was buying now.
I have a Hero and HTC are not doing the current users (mugs) any favours by cynically stalling the 2.1 roll out.
Nexus One is the best choice for a new Androider. For me though, I will avoid HTC where possible as a result of this Hero 2.1 debacle. I have owned HTC mobiles for many years but this current level of customer contempt is the Kaiser 3D qualcomm issue all over again

Errhhh - the latest and greatest HTC branded Android phone is the Desire, which is essentially the same as the N1.
Whilst Hero was HTC's top of the range Android phone when it was released, the Legend never will be.

I love this phone regardless of how old it is. I just got myself a new contract with T-mobile on one of these. Brilliant.

You're right. I edited my post but forgot to get everything. I still think it is safe to assume that the N1 will still be updated more frequently (depending on how the hierarchy is setup now between Google and HTC for the N1).
I have my HTC Hero since 1 week and a half ago. I must say that it hasn't dissappointed me even though i expected A LOT from it. I came from an HTC Touch and the change is incredible. I bought it "2d hand", i say it between quotes because the seller had open it just to see how it was. I spent 130€ + 11€ for network unlocking. The advantage? I'm not tied to any company. I don't have the last technology, neither the best phone, but i'm pretty happy with what I have. The relation between the money I spent, and the company freedom, doesn't have price
But I have to say aswell, that if you have money for a Nexus One, go for it. If not, i highly recommend you the Hero.
I suggest going with either Nexus 1, or any of the new HTC phones coming out excluding Legend. I'm not dissing HTC or anything, but their delayed response to any updates on the HTC Hero, just...Dissapoints me. If you can't afford the newer models, then HTC Hero is still a good choice, all because of XDA you can still test out Android 2.1.
We need to know your budget really before saying "yes you should buy" or "no you shoudn't", if you could pick up a cheap hero, and don't mind getting your hands a little dirty, then by all means go for it and put a hacked 2.1 ROM on, or wait for the HTC release.
Failing that, and if you are a little more flush, then get an N1.
I have a G1 running CM-6.1.0-Magpie at 614Mhz and it runs really sweet.
I am on T-Mobile and pay £5 per month for unlimited data/txt and 100 x mins on a 30day SIM only deal.
I have been offered an HTC Wildfire (same data/txt/mins) on a 24month deal for £7.50, is it worth it the 2 year tie in an extra £2.50 per month?
What do people think?
Thanks

The wildfire is quite a bit thinner, but there's no keyboard. You get more ram and rom.

Having been a former G1 user, I can say that more RAM and ROM is exactly what the G1 lacks, unfortunately. I would go for it.
Edit: the number 1 thing slowing down the G1 is not the cpu, but the lack of memory. Also, having more Rom will allow you to keep the OS up to date for longer.

i would go for the Wildfire if your looking to keep your Phone updated longer. If your O.k with your Phone being slightly outdated *in the hacking Comm.* then I'd go for the G1. Personally I'm using my G1 until the Sensation comes out, or a better QWERTY comes out.
Don't forget that the wildfire has only 240x320 resolution.
If you're using your phone for browsing, game playing, watching videos etc, then this is not good enough.
I think our phones better because of this, cm6.1 is good, froyobylaszo is more than good, i dont need ginger(btw ezGingerbread looks promising)

Yeah, i agree. Im waiting for the HTC Sensation too or a phone with a physical keyboard.
But http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3337&idPhone2=2665
Here you go. Try comparing the two & see which one suits your "needs" better. But no. Its definitely not worth the 2 year contract.
personally i wouldnt and wont touch any phone without a hardware keyboard, if you can get past that its not a bad phone, personally id wait for the new xperia pro or even get a desire z if i could afford one (which i cant, if im lucky my next upgrade will be to a milestone/droid if i can find one, they were rather rare here in england)
i almost considered a milestone 2 on seeing one fairly cheap the other day, but then i discovered the locked bootloader and that was enough for me to say no
Hi, a few days ago, I found in a shop, an HTC Hero at 199€
Is this a good price?
I would like to buy it, but i have some question:
1- The low RAM slows down the phone?
2- The videos are shot at only 10 fps, it' s not possible to increare that at 30fps?
3- What is the max stable OverClock you can do?
4- Are there any ROM with A2SD?
Thanks in advance for the response
P.S. I also have an LG Optimus ONE.

1. the ram is 288 and it dose not slow the phone
2. the videos are shot @ 30 fps
3. i use the phone stable @ 748 Mhz
4. yes there are a lot of them
i recommend to buy another phone because the hero has already 2 years... look for a desire at least

I have another question; the HTC Hero can record video in HD 720p?
What is the best record video resolution?
Sell your LG and put that money with the 199E and buy something more up to date. You can buy a* Desire for pretty much 199E
EDIT: *used
Don't buy a Hero. It's just too old. And that's not even a god price You could get a Desire for that
Depends what you want an android phone for, but I agree that it's better now to look for something newer. The Hero struggles with modern apps e.g. Angry Birds and can't play flash etc because of hardware limitations. I might snap up another one up in a fire sale for 100 or less (for my dad, for example) because other than being underpowered it's actually not so bad with a Froyo or Gingerbread ROM (except battery life, which is a bit poor), but at 200 you're better off investing that toward something that's going to give you more use into the future.
The only thing I'd specifically recommend getting a Hero for is for audio-recording your calls: there's a Hero-specific exploit that allows the free rVoix app to do that once the phone is rooted.

Yep like said before, don't buy the hero anymore .
If you are on a low budget go for the htc wildfire S or Samsung galaxy gio.
Or go for a second hand desire hd or something like that.
It's a good phone if you buy it for the right price. I won one for just under £100 on eBay, already with a custom ROM installed (it's vanilla so I'm not keeping it, but the advantage is it's already set up for me to install my choice of ROM) and I think it'll be a good on-the-cheap HTC. A Desire costs about £160 if you want one in decent condition, which is almost £100 more than a Hero.
I have a Hero bought in oct-09 and I'm planning to buy a new one (galaxy sii?) before christmas because it's got too slow for heavy use, the hero was a good one until htc gave up with updates (a few months after my purchase?), if you want to root it or as your first smartphone it still could be a good choice, though €200 is not really a bargain. however my partner has a Wildfire which I rate one of the worst smartphone around! actually the hero, although one year older, is much better in nearly everything, looking at the wildfire display is something painful. in the end, you always get what you spend... besides that, I now dont like HTC that much...

Definitely avoid. Take a good look at a Desire if you can, or a Desire HD in great condition if you can stretch it. The Desire with its low memory might start to get stretched soon however, but the Desire HD still sits with the best of them if you flash custom ROMs.

Suggestions don't buy
The Hero is nice if you get it for free. The phone is almost 3 years old already and indeed the Wildfire S is about the same price you are saying. So go for that to have more support for the current apps.
On the Hero Google Maps 5.5.0 is the last version that runs fine on it. But the current version is 5.9.0. So if you want to have your phone for about 2 years. Then do NOT go for a Hero but something else.
The Hero is easy in modifying (Custom roms and stuff) but that will come for the newer phones pretty soon. Since HTC is more nice to devs

I think this sums it up perfectly really.
Best thing, in the situation outlined above, where you get the phone free, just run CM7 on it. It will be buttery smooth
I'm sure I'm not the only one, but when I see a Hero (I saw one earlier today), even with my DHD...there is something about it that just makes me want one!
So the HTC Evo 3D seems still to be sold for a low price. Lowest price I found was € 269 and now it went to € 289
And the current price off the HTC Desire HD in the same shop is € 295.
So as far I know the HTC Evo 3D got an 1.2Ghz dual core and an 960x540 screen resolution, further it has 1024MB ram and a 3D screen.
And bluetooth 3.0 and a frontcam which the HTC Desire HD has not. So that is the general difference. And I would say getting about € 200 for my HTC Desire HD should still be possible.
But is it worth? I would still be investing almost € 100 then and there seems to be not so much different, in fact the camera on HTC Evo 3D is 5MP, but it has 3D recording possibilities.
I see the Evo 3D has no unibody design like our HTC Desire HD.
Well, you'll have awful battery life, a bulkier device, and a pointless 3D screen.
IMO, not much if an upgrade. Stick with your phone, it still has a long life ahead, and save up for a newer HTC flagship (One X etc)
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk
Yes its heavier indeed I read. First I though it had an unibody design to, but it doesn't have it. I also already decided that it would not be worth upgrading.
I was only thinking of buying it because priced drop so much, its right now even cheaper then a new HTC Desire HD.
I also think in terms of design the HTC Desire HD looks much better.
I agree, it's not worth it. I would prefer to buy an HTC Sensation XE.
Or save the money for the next HTC devices (One X, One S).

Best thing would be ofcourse keeping the HTC Desire HD after my contract ends and using a cheap prepaid sim card for just being reachable.
As I always use rynga.com for calling. But the DHD is still good and as long it keeps working then I have nothing to worry about.
if you where going from a nokia brick to evo 3D, then yes
from dhd to evo 3d, nope.
€295? really expensive.. I bought my one at €130 last month.. and €99 today without a contract.

You mean the Desire HD? I don't think the new price off HTC Desire HD will be so low, but you are from Korea so it could be that you pay much less there.
But 50% less looks alot to me. The Evo3D is really cheap on the moment, but reason for it seems that it was not selling good.

Do you think that is worth? I could try put it on internet for about € 200 and be happy if I get € 200 for it.
So then I would still need add € 89 by myself and main difference between HTC Desire HD is the CPU and RAM and screen, the rest is not much difference, the DHD even got a 8MP camera and the Evo3d got 5MP.
Its not a bad phone the Evo3D, but its not without reason its being sold for so low price. Because I also see this device doesn't have custom roms like the HTC Sensation has, there are some custom roms but its not same as our DHD, for the Evo3d there is right now not even a ics sense rom.
So I think its not worth really, but if my DHD would break then I would buy it right away as its a good deal right now, but the HTC One X and HTC One S will be released also soon.

So I think its not worth really, but if my DHD would break then I would buy it right away as its a good deal right now, but the HTC One X and HTC One S will be released also soon.

You're right, lack of roms is unacceptable cons. I forgot where we're

If you want to root and install custom ROM, it's better to keep the DHD.
In the new line of HTCs, One X, S and V, there's one that is completely compatible with DHD, namely HTC One V, with just slight difference in camera resolution (DHD got better camera than OneV).
Let's hope that there's a developer in XDA that might pick this up and port it into DHD with all the ICS+Sense 4 goodness.
Officially, DHD would get ICS as well, though I doubt they would give sense4 into it, most likely just sense3.5.
Yes if we look to custom roms then our DHD got more options. But a good ICS rom for the DHD is there right now not yet.
If I look to another aspect off buying a Evo3d then I not only see a better phone, but also warranty for 2 years.
Selling my DHD and buying an Evo3d would not be to bad at all. I need to consider that if my DHD breaks that its nothing worth at all, but on other side it should still keep working for awhile and buying the Evo3d right now will not be a good idea, because there already annouced the new HTC top devices.
I guess I just keep mine DHD till at least my contract is finished, I still have until half October until my contract finishes and be honest most off days lately I'm not using my phone much.
Of course get a sensation /Xe or wait for The One X evo 3d is not worth a gange from a dhd besides some users have reported that they felt a little bit dizy after looking to 3D pics because u dont use a 3d glasses with this phone
I gave my gf an sensation lol. So I bought one but gave it as present and I will just keep using my DHD.
When I switched from iPhone 3G to DHD that was like I entered heaven, but I think an upgrade will not have that experience anymore and our DHD will still function very good.

Are u serious? HTC Sensation is quiet better than Desire HD. If u go to Sensation forum u see a lot of great Roms with ICS + Sense 3.6 and Sense 4.0. Why don't u change with your girlfriend and play with Sensation 4 awile until your contract finish?

Hahaha she will scold me, she doesn't want a used phone and when I bought her the Sensation I though it was better then buying the DHD because the Sensation cost not so much more.
And also its rude to give someone your used phone as Christmas present. I let her Sensation just stock because its not mine but hers so I didn't root it or put a custom rom on it.
I don't consider the Sensation worth to upgrade and only reason I was considering the HTC Evo3d is because its practical an HTC Sensation in terms off specification, but its price is much cheaper right now, but I can see its not a good phone if you like have newer Android version, as certain parts in ports for evo3d are not working good.
But they do have an Sense 4.0 port right now, that's further then the DHD is, we only have an ics sense 3.6 rom which got no internet connectivity. No I really think I can stick with mine DHD, I only still have 8 months to go on my contract and I think the DHD still will do a good job. We already have asop ics.

I've wanted to buy an HTC Sensation, but i changed my mind when i saw the new HTC One devices.
Well not long ago we just had some Sensation roms, so in terms off software we are not so much behind and we will get an official ICS.
Yes HTC One serie looks great.
