Doesn't/didn't the Touch Pro 2 have this?
I thought the Touch Pro 2 already had many of these features, but I'm not sure if they were stock or cooked in by ROM makers.
Either way, it seems to me that Android continues to look like what I saw on Windows Mobile with SPB Mobile Shell, Cookies Home Tab, and other programs. It definitely seems like a developer/hacker's phone.
I hope that iOS and Windows Phone will open up a little more in the coming year.
Does the Epic 4g play all/most/some/no Flash games w/Froyo (Android 2.2)?
I'm choosing beween an Epic 4G, EVO 4G, iPhone 4, and Samsung Focus as my next device.
Being able to use the Epic 4G's keyboard to play Flash games would be an important factor if it has that capability.
Has anyone here taken the plunge and updated to the unofficial (right?) release of Android 2.2?
Re: Ipod Touch Generations
According to the news release, it's 2nd and 3rd gen' compatible:

You're correct, there's no opening for the rear camera.
Re: Im surprised at how....
I saw the weight in comparison to the Q9c, Touch Pro 2, and Snap and figured that it would feel really light.
More important than that to me:
1) How's the keyboard?
The phone appears to be the successor to the Q9c rather than the Ace when it comes to size, but the keyboard doesn't look nearly as refined.
2) Does the phone look better in hand than it does on the 'net?
3) Any idea if it can be used as a wifi ...

2.5 inch touch screen...lmao...lol..lol who would buy such crap...!!
Treo Pro users looking to upgrade the internal hardware (and downgrade external hardware) perhaps?
It's ugly as hell, but I'll consider buying it if:
- it's as fast as the Snap
- camera image quality is at least as good as the Touch Pro's
- the keyboard isn't too small
How does the still camera handle movement?
Is there a lot less blur when snapping pictures of moving objects?
The first gen' iPhone does a much better job than my Touch Pro when it comes to getting something in focus when taking pictures of moving objects. I'm not sure if it's just a shutter speed thing (I haven't tried burst or sports mode on my TP) or if it has to do with the camera's focus.
Thanks.
Re: What happened to not having to upgrade hardware to get OS updates?
You miss the point.
It isn't merely the cost of the plan. It's Apple supporters constantly bringing up the iPhone as a device that doesn't get left behind (read: you don't have to buy new hardware to get new software). So, because my 1st Gen' iPhone has been left behind, I have to spend $100-200 for new hardware if I want new software that my CURRENT phone can support.
I know that selling my old iPhone will off set ...
What happened to not having to upgrade hardware to get OS updates?
I've read many complaints that Windows Mobile users had to upgrade/change their hardware in order update the OS while Apple supported all versions of their hardware. Is this the first case where they haven't?
It's upsetting that I'll have to pay an extra $10 per month AND shell out $100-200 to get MMS when new hardware doesn't seem to be necessary.
Darn thing still won't fully multi-task either.
Only at&t left to redeem Sprint (re: price)
I still can't believe they're asking $!50 AFTER MAIL-IN rebate and didnt include WiFi.
I know we save in the long run by paying less for service, but I was hoping for many reasons to upgrade from my Q9c and stay away from my Touch Pro.
I didnt like the keyboard on the Treo Pro so that isnt an option.
Hopefully, the new Ace will knock my socks off.
Re: Or better yet
Obviously, I don't understand how the phone works and probably miss the obvious applications that use data in the background.
I only check e-mail and browse the web when I have a Wifi connection available.
I don't use Google Maps.
I just remembered that visual voicemail uses data.
What else is there?
I'd rather have regular voicemail and be restricted to wifi use for data than pay the extra $.
How about allowing pay by the kb?
Had I known that I could unlock the iPhone and take it to T-Mobile, that's exactly what I would've done.
I'm paying $20-per-month for a service I don't use.
Re: Windows Mobile 6.5: No more plug-ins? Tasks?
Thanks for the information. I actually searched last night for all the videos and screen shots I could find to make sure there was no task module :(
Hopefully there are people out there working on a program that allows us to customize the home screen.
I'd also like to see Microsoft allow programmers to create module-type plug-ins so we can have bank balances, weather, etc.
How easy was it to scroll through items in each module? It's fast ...
Windows Mobile 6.5: No more plug-ins? Tasks?
Where the new home screen disappoints is that it completely removes the widget-like Today Screen Plug-In architecture from previous versions. Widgets are something of a hot trend right now, and Microsoft essentially had a huge head-start on that with its Today Screen Plug-Ins. Quite a few good third-party ones are available. While the replacement home screen is nice out of the box, Microsoft has not only broken compatibility with old plug-ins, but failed to provide a new API for ...
Re: Does this play video????????
Everyone?
Sorry, websites aren't dedicated to devices that use this OS just because people hate it.
TCPMP works fine on my 2125 and there are plenty of other people that have no problem with this program.
A soft reset may clear up the problems.
Re: Pocket Word? WHere?
WM5 for Pocket PCs has Word Mobile, but WM5 for Smartphones does not.
I don't know exactly why, but it makes sense considering that they need to make clear differences between pocket pc's and smartphones.
Re: Does this play video????????
Did you get that message trying to install it both ways (via Activesync & the CAB file)?
Have you tried asking on Hofo.com?

Your best bet for an answer is probably the T-Mobile PDA/Smartphone forum.
Good luck.
Re: AIM on the dash...
It appears to have some sort of multi-platform IM program pre-installed like the MDA and SDA. I've never used either, but like you, I can't think that it's going to be anything near what the SideKick's is.
Regarding the OS, you're correct, it's the smartphone edition of Windows Mobile 5.
Re: i like the phone but plans suck...
From what I'm seeing on T-Mobile's website, the SideKick Unlimited plan is still $20-a-month.
Are you referring to their data only plan?
My complaint about the plan is that I'm paying extra for T-Mobile hotspots. I'd like to have the option of using a data plan w/o T-Mobile's hotspots like they have for the Pearl ($20-a-month).
Regardless, these two devices aren't for the same demographic. Sure, a lot of non-business users like myself are interested in this device, but it ...
Re: Does this play video????????
It should work (it works on my 2125) so my guess is that you didn't download the right version.
http://corecodec.org/frs/?group_i d=53&release_id=222#r222
Scroll down to TCPMP for Windows Mobile and download:
tcpmp.smartphone.0.72RC1.exe
if you want to install TCPMP while your phone is synching with your PC or
tcpmp.smartphone.0.72RC1.cab
if you want to install TCPMP from your phone.
I suggest installing this program on your memory card.
Not only does TCPMP play more files than WMP 10 Mobile, it plays video in true full screen, filling the screen with the ...
Re: Tough Decision
Only if you're not driving.
A phone keypad pops up on the screen when you're using the phone and it's very easy to dial, but you obviously don't get the same feedback from a touchscreen that you do from a physical button.
Use the voice dial feature if you need to call someone while driving.

ok, i could not find fascade on the web anywhere, so could somebody help me out by replying with a direct website to the download
Sorry about that:
http://www.sbsh.net/products/facade/
Any idea what the cost might be?
$200, like the 2125?
$300, like the 8125?
$400, like the 700w?
Re: 2125: Ringtones & mp3s Questions
Do either of you know of an easy, no hassle way of getting MP3 clips? I used to use Wal-Mart, but it seems that they've changed the format of the link and/or music.
Re: Customize Home Screen?
If you'd like to do more advanced customizing, Google Facade and/or Modaco XML smartphone homescreen.
Facade is a great program especially combined with the free homescreens that are out there:

Re: changing times zones
It didn't when I traveled from PST to CST and I didn't see an option to automatically update the time.
I did notice that the times for my calendar entries were adjusted, both ways, but it took a little while to do it.
Re: How do I change email config so that it leaves emails on server?
It works fine with GMail.
Well, it downloads the e-mails just fine. The problem is that it removes all of your old e-mails from your phone's inbox (yes, even those that are unread) on each sync.
From what I've read on the 'net the problem is with WM5. You can always use the web to retrieve old e-mails, but that'll obviously be a problem if you sync regularly (every 15 mins) because you won't know what you missed.
Re: Can someone please comment on the speakerphone?
Coming from a SideKickII I'd say the the volume isn't nearly loud enough. My friend's old Nokia 3100 sounds better than this.
What's wierd is that I've had times where the speaker was loud enough to use outside and times where I'd have to be in a library to hear it clearly.
If you're going to use the speakerphone regularly, I'd try out the Nokia 6682 in addition to this phone (based on my experience with my friend's Nokia).
The previous ...

Memory is expandable on both so why would it be an issue?
Seriously, if a small form factor is important and you like Windows for mobile(I don't), then you should choose the 5600.
Thanks for your help.
I currently own a SideKick so size isn't an issue.
I asked about the BUILT IN MEMORY because I worried about not being able to have multiple applications opened at the same time and slow menu broswing speed. I don't want a sluggish phone.

Re: 6682 vs 5600 (current SideKick owner)
See, I thought of the built in memory as the RAM+HD in one and the expandable memory as an external HD.
What spurred my question is someone's complaint about having to shut down applications when using more than one.
I enjoy being albe to do everything at once with my Sidekick (IM, e-mail, & web).

the 8mb is built in mem so it doesnt matter since u can expand to 1gig soon..right now im runnin 512mb card
yes 6682 hands down..u cant beat a Nokia
I mentioned the memory not because I was worried about space rather, my ability to have more than one application open at a time and the speed of the looking through the menu(s).
Is that even the way the built in memory works?
Re: 6682 vs 5600 (current SideKick owner)
How about the difference in memory (64MB on the SMT 5600 to 8MB on the 6682)?
The HTC 2125 is going to come out soon and it'll have the same feature set as the 6682 (1MP camera, EDGE, improved resolution) so I'm wondering if the memory should be a significant factor in my decision making process.

5600 vs. Nokia 6682 (current SideKick owner)
Hello all,
My contract is going to run out at the end of November and I'm thinking about upgrading my call quality without losing my ability to browse the internet.
These two phones appear to be my least expensive options so I'm hoping that someone here has used both or even all three phones so that they can give me their opinion as to which one is best.
I played around with the 6682 and the 5600 the other day. I ...

Re: HTML Browser
Thanks.
Maybe I will leave my SideKick II behind after all.
Re: HTML Browser
Did you go through MediaNET or Opera?
Re: What Media Net package does everyone have??
Ahh...
So, I can use Opera and the Unlimited MediaNET plan to browse the internet? Is this something Cingular knows about and will shut down in an attempt to get 6682 users to pay the $40-$60 PDA plan?
Thanks for your help. I'm thinking about leaving my beloved SideKick II for improved call quality and I figure that I may as well go to Cingular to get better coverage too.

Yep. The phone has both the normal cingular 'web' option that will connect you to MEdia net as well as an opera browser. Both will allow you to navigate to an actual web page.
I tried navigating to www.niketalk.com in store today and it didn't work. Any idea why?
I connected to MediaNET, selected Options (left tab button), and selected Go To Address.

I have the old 19.99 unlimited plan, which includes 1500 texts and 200 mms. You need the unlimited internet to get alot more out of this phone and its ability to surf the real internet..
I was at the store today and was told by a sales rep' that I needed a PDA phone to browse the "real internet."
So, can I browse the "real internet" by downloading/purchasing Opera and paying for Unlimited MediaNET?
Thanks.
