Toshiba excite 7.7 vs samsung 7.7?

Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts if I should just wait for the toshiba to come out instead of buying a samsung 7.7, both have basically the same screens, the toshiba comes with ics (whereas the samsung is still awaiting that) the toshiba has a better processor, etc, but is heavier and larger, anyone else have any thoughts? One advantage to buying an unlocked international samsung tab 7.7 is I could use it as a phone, whereas the toshiba's phone capabilities will be stunted when it comes to the us. Specs for the toshiba excite 7.7 are below.

I was holding off for the toshiba, because the screen, and the powerfull chip, but i got tyred of waiting so i bought the p6800. Only regrets?
no ICS. . .

"whereas the toshiba's phone capabilities will be stunted when it comes to the us"
I didnt really get that
is it only gonna be stunted in the US? or it it gonna be stunted everywhere?
the excite have phone call capabilities or not?

I got this tablet for the screen. Halted before purchase to check out the toshiba excite. The clencher was the tegra3 processor. A developer that made a screencasting app can't get it to work on tegra processors, and the only reason I wanted a tablet to screencast drawings I make on it. I know I could have gone with the new ipad, but ---bleck, I hate apple....

Someone get the tosiba 7.7 and we will have devs working to port ics over here ^^

Has anyone seen it in retail?
I've been scouting local Best Buys, Fry's and Office Depot. Nothing in my local stores yet and I've been looking at the overstock in the cages. Best Buy has it listed but that's all...

I think its out next week. I wanna check it out too.

i just bought the Tab 7.7. But if this thing has phone capabilities too then this means I can use my ATT unlimited data phone sim with it. Will likely make the switch. Waiting to hear back from Toshiba about it.

A new phone.

Well, I guess its almost the end for my wildifre. I've gone and picked up a motorola motoluxe. A midrange armv7 device with a 4 inch screen and a "8 megapixel" camera. Its fast and snappy. Unlike the aging wildfire. And has been rooted. I'm not sure if I'll get rid of my wildfire just yet. Its been a great introduction to android. And I hope the great experience continues with this new phone. I wont leave the wildfire section. I'll always keep popping back to see your progress with jellybean and ice cream sandwhich.

I doubt that, lol. It doesn't even have a XDA section. And the only real comprehensive rooting guide is on Phandroid. Isn't the Optimus Speed an Optimus 2X in disguise? Or is it a completely different phone?

It was a statement of sarcasm. Hence the word tad .
But 16 megapixel camera will obviously use different drivers.
They probably use note2 gallery though.

The remote viewfinder using the SGS3 is sheer innovation.
BS...

The firmware was released already?

Happy about pretty much everything but the huge amount of wasted real estate on the front. It's like my Jewel buy with an extra speaker on the front.
Regardless, I'll be getting one today if the upgrade price is right.

GSMArena review starts positive & then saves its royal kicking until the end. Basically a decent phone let down by a camera that didn't even cut the mustard in 2013 let alone 2014.

This is exactly how I will feel about all new up and coming flagship phones.... Meh... I will definitely bypass this year's new flagship phones.
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk

So just like the Samsung s5 only a very small upgrade. It's nice to add a microsd SD slot but seriously the HTC logo is still incredible misplaced.
Also lol at all that fitness crap, since all manufacturers are doing it it seems more like a data fishing attempt. I am 5 times a week in the gym and i know some people nobody uses their smartphone for tracking stuff, 90 percent of the time it's used to replace a mp3 player.
It's really a small and disappointing upgrade no octacore, no 3gb ram and no uhd so far all phones this year seem lackluster.

Version?
Which version is selling in India? I just bought mine today, Dual Sim D820T

Hey, I bought it off of ebay , it's working fine for 2 days... And today its hanging excessively... I don't know y... Anyone else facing this issue?

Hi All,
I bought this device last week .. it's a good device. Two concerns though which is the heating issue below the camera and the phone ringtone sound is very low at full volume. I have observed that only the bottom speaker works when the phone rings on call. The phone is hardly audible when away.. anyone sharing similar experience or is this a one off case with me?
Regards,
SS

The device heats up sometimes but there is definitely no burning smell from any part of my device. Would suggest you get your cell checked at HTC service center.

bluetooth issues
Device is great
heavy usage:no issues(except the heating which is barely felt when with dot-view case)
only issue that i am facing is that at some distance apart from any bluetooth speaker, it tends to give disturbed signals when touched below the camera/heating region
anyone facing the issue?

Hi my uncle has got this phone recently and he wanted to get the phone rooted.. I'm personally a samsung user so have less idea about rooting an HTC phone..
what little i know is that HTC phones have something called S-off and then we need to root it.. should we also unlock the bootloader?
and i see very little development work happening here. ??? doesnt it mean this device has no deveopement happening??? there is also very less instructions on how to root etc..
could someone here throw some light please??

My girlfriend bought a htc Desire 820DS last week. Loaded everything into the phone using a USB otg. Nothing's erased on whatsapp, but phone failed to reboot while performing "system update", and the worse comes the worst is that, I tried everything I read on the internet, the phone itself cannot be rebooted.

Single SIM 820?
Anybody heard about single sim 820?
820 is not available in my country so that I asked one of my friends (traveling to India) to brought me a device. He brought me one but seems it's a single sim device. I never know that such single sim device available. I'm really upset of the single sim configuration. :crying:
