I should've stayed in the US, getting a contract here is subject to being on a payroll, which sucks... the only option I got is a data plan where you put prepaid cards to call... I mean, the most I use IS data, but the full plans are the only ones that can render a $500 phone down to $150, for just $49.99 a month. I'm an independent musician, and need like 5 years of IRS holdings to be able to have it... funny, aint it?
[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
hmmm htc evo 3d or htc sensation
[XPERIA X10 General] walidhiphop:
Did you tried the arc its snappy as hell and so fast....
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
Yeah I tried it, for the same price I can get a phone with much better specs that is much snappier and faster though.

Imo it isn't much of an upgrade from the x10.

The duo looks like it might be more of a contender, if it gets released at least in the next few months or so
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
Yeah, the sales rep at the store where I bought my X10 for repairs let me play with her Arc. It's a good looking phone, and the system seemed pretty snappy (and that was with user-installed apps) in comparison to the X10.

But the EVO 3D and it's dual-core kin are far beyond the Arc as far as performance goes.
[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
Xperia 2011 series. Choose one lol. They are high performance lol. I see the review Xperia Mini pro with around 50 apps installed, no root. And they do everything like flying, you know, I mean really fast although it's demo version lol.

EDIT: Maybe SE will announce Xperia Dual this year, so if you can wait, try it. lol
[XPERIA X10 General] riginal:
I'm really looking forward to Xperia Duo

I don't like the look & style of sg2 at all, HTC sensation looks better & more stylish but I hear bad things about HTC's cameras in general so I must search more when the time for upgrade is near

So my next phone will be a good-looking dual-core (and by good-looking I mean good-looking to me because it's really personal opinion) with a camera at least as good as X10's
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
actually htcs camera on their newer phones are good to tell you the truth...
[XPERIA X10 General] riginal:
That's good to hear, I hope it's as good as X10's

By the way when you all think you're gonna upgrade?
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
go check reviews, the sample pics I've seen are equally good.

[XPERIA X10 General] Bruce Lee:
I picked up an ATRIX for an upgrade from the x10a ATT version. The dual core is awesome. Camera ain't bad for 5mp. Plus the somewhat 4g. I actually paid less for the ATRIX than the x10.

Its the best phone for AT&T. Totally recommend it big time.

Sent from my ATRIX 4G XDA Premium App
[XPERIA X10 General] JazzLOCO:
nice input, people! I was a happy samsung user, until I got my x10... for the things it has, it is an awesome smartphone; but like everything in the tech realm, it gets old rather quickly, and when it is a "legacy" device, I doubt many will want to keep it when there's better apps coming out every day in the market, which require 2.3 and up, and I doubt 2.4 is an option for the X10... or am I wrong? After all, devs have got 2.3.4 and even 2.3.5 on this nice cell I have... is there a possibility to go 2.4 when it gets here?
[XPERIA X10 General] JazzLOCO:
and by that, I mean ported for CM or MIUI
[XPERIA X10 General] SinHarvest:
A phone with some type of QWERTY keyboard is what I would like to say but I can't think of any good ones at this stage
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
Droid 3 is the only modern one I can think of.

My wife really wants an Android with a hard keyboard, but Rogers doesn't carry any and frankly they are few and far between these days anyway.
[XPERIA X10 General] walidhiphop:
let's face it guys...what would you do with dual core phones.....play all the time.???...using it all the time....???? taking photos all the time....??? playing music and videos all the time....????

common guys...if u wanna do all this things...go and buy a laptop......

phones have a limitations in using them....

big screen !!! dual core !!!!! big battery !!!!!! high resolution !!!!!!! high sound !!!!!!!!!! big size !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..................damn guys...it's not a phone anymore.......it became a transformer...........

and for me 1 G CPU will do the job.....and Xperia arc will do it.......
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] coder4hire:
StatKbd project - self-adjusting SIP keyboard for WM.

It analyses touch coordinates and adjusts recognition algorithm. This is especially important for finger typing - usually you don't hit exact center of button while typing due to device tilt, etc...

In addition to this, StatKbd introduces key "spot" size adjustment basing on language statistics - again, for better touch recognition.

From user perspective this means that every key virtually expands and shrinks (normally it's not visible, but you can enable special mode to see it) basing on previously entered text. This allows you to enter text better, avoiding typos.

Of course, all these options are adjustable, so you can disable them if you want.

There're 2 skins (black and white) in package. Visual skin editor is also free and available for download.

Currently English and Russian layouts are available, but you can easily customize skin for any language (we'll really appreciate if you upload it here or to official site then).

You can read more (and download installation packages) at official site:

gss.freeiz.com (sorry, can't post direct link now - I'm new to this forum)

Current version (1.2) is free, but donations are very welcome - you can use "Donate" button on official site.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] always-right:
nice try buddy but i think that this not good enough for any WM. although its not finger friendly and its do not even uses numeric keys can't find even enter. LoL..:p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] coder4hire:
Well, look closer to long-click (upper) symbols. Keypad is on long-click for most right button in middle row (short click switches language layouts), enter is long-click on space. I did it because I was really sick and tired of false clicks on enter button (that you can't undo).

As for finger-friendly, well, miracles don't happen in this world (especially with keyboards on small screens :)). However, I really think that you didn't calibrate it. To adjust keyboard to your fingers, you should manually calibrate it (via options) or just spend some time typing text and correcting typos by backspace (yes, that's annoying, but takes just several minutes) - keyboard will self-adjust.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shantanil:
I have installed it in my X1. Its quite good but its a bit too small to use in portrait mode. Other than that its not bad but takes a bit getting used to.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] coder4hire:
The idea was to make small keyboard, to keep most of the application screen visible. White skin is smallest one, black one is bigger. You can create you custom skin (with appropriate size) using Stat Skin editor - just take one of original skins, resize jpg files to the size you want (using any picture editor), then remap keys using StatSkinEditor (there's option to do it automatically - Edit / Resize Keys Map). Possibly, you'll have to change font sizes too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drhesham:
Thank you very much .. It acts better than Finger friendly !!! .. I wish The skin editor really works too cuz I tried it on Win 7 , Win 8 .. Wish for Arabic Skin ...

Thanks again for a good app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] screwdriv:
maybe a little bigger skin? its hard to use.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] coder4hire:
What is the problem with Skin Editor ? It works OK on my PC. You have to install Visual C++ 2008 SP1 redistributable package though, if it is not installed on your PC yet (by some other application). You can download it for free from Microsoft site: ... /download/en/details.aspx?id=5582

Treat ... as microsoft web server address - this stupid system does not allow me to post full link.

There's a new update to flash 10.3 in the android market works great on espn. Com videos also getting 30 fps on the youtube myspeed test
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kaylord84:
Hulu still is unsupported but nfl.com video playback is good before the update it was choppy running smoothly now
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aibo:
You won't see support for hulu anytime soon. It's hulu who is blocking mobile devices, they want you to get the paid app. It's for copyright reason, they said.

But you can get the "hacked" version for hulu, look at the theme and app section.

P.S : you know you can edit your first post instead of writing a new one :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cpitt:
For those who might be interested. I was one of the 50 lucky winners in the ongoing WPAPPITUP student developer competition, and was promised a Mango phone about a week or so ago. To my surprise I arrived home to find a package from Microsoft waiting for me.

Open it up and I find my self a brand new unlocked HTC Mazaa, running Mango 7.10.7720.500 .Here is a screenshot of the about page

It's roughly the exact same as the one in the pictures that were released here back in April. The only difference being some kind of identification number that is etched into the bottom left hand corner.

First impressions the phone is fast, whether it just be the new Mango build or the phone itself I'm not entirely certain. But it runs circles around my HD7. On the same note comparing it to the HD7 it's a lot smaller. It also only has 8gig of internal not upgradable internal memory, which doesn't really cut it for me. However, beggars can't be choosers, and I'm glad to have the phone either way.

The real question is what to do with it. Tmobile was so kind to send me 2 free HD7 s just a few weeks ago for upgrading my plan (my Mom has the other one), which other than the speed (which may or may not be a related to the build of Mango I'm running) seems superior to this Microsoft test phone.

This leads to a few questions:

Developers, do you find it necessary to have more than one phone to test your applications on?

If I decided to sell this phone, how much would it go for? Where would be the best place to sell it?

If you had an extra WP7 phone what would you do with it?

It seems like details about this phone have been shrouded in rumor so if there is anything that I can clear up let me know
[Windows Phone 7 General] iky10:
if you can post some pics of the phone and a comparison with the hd7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] XGX5309:
Well, something I see that hasn't been said is that this is an MSM8655 device... another words, 2nd gen 45NM Snapdragon with the Adreno 205. So, how much faster are we talking? My Focus is pretty damn snappy as it is. Also, what's the battery life like?

Interesting. It's a true Mango release device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] weijoon:
more pictures and descriptions in detail is appreciated, perhaps a video too?

=D
[Windows Phone 7 General] dAV84:
please, can you extract rom and post here?

thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
You could also you know... buy a Windows Phone :rolleyes:.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Isn't 7720 the RTM version? Would be nice to know the differences with Beta 2, improvements, new features, etc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tomasslavicek:
Here is a photo of HTC Mazaa from another #WPAppItUp winner: twitpic.com/62x2rt
[Windows Phone 7 General] bleui:
oh do you know any store that already sells the 7720 version :rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I was adressing him (and you) as a HD2 owner. If you love the platform you might as well support it, there are phones available sim-free unlocked for under 180€.

As for the request, Microsoft knows all the Mazaa owners so I wouldn't advise any of them to take the risk to extract and share the ROM just to please the modding community (yeah I know this is XDA, why are you here, bla bla bla).
[Windows Phone 7 General] surur:
I would not sell this phone if I were you. It likely has a gyroscope, something your HTC HD7 does not have.
[Windows Phone 7 General] qsr786:
Could you please tell us before you sell you htc mazaa what has been improved since Mango Beta 2, is the speed of ie9 been raised by 50 fps?
[Windows Phone 7 General] petbede:
How can he extract the rom?

PEACE!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tiemen_S:
If I were you, I'd definitely sell my HD7 because of the hardware improvements to the Mazaa and you'll always be able to test some app on your mother's phone before releasing it just to be sure - but I wouldn't think there will be much errors if both get the same update after all.

But very much so, I'm sure all people around here are very eager to know if there are any (interface) changes or additions in the RTM build! I don't know about any Microsoft issues if you'd tell. I think you yourself know your agreements best by entering that competition ;). I think XDA would gladly feature some article about it if you'd be so nice to write one!
[Windows Phone 7 General] lionmilk:
there is no more ebay link here!
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
How about running WPBENCH on it so we can see how it compares to the HD7
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
Why are there not better pictures of the actual device yet?
[Windows Phone 7 General] fb401:
I can only speak on the selling part. Obviously the best way to sell would be ebay, because it's currently a rare phone and the first with a 2nd gen snapdragon (and maybe a gyroscope), I would guess you could get $400 to $500 for it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lionmilk:
I will take some more photos and actually shoot a video when I go home. Actually I shoot the video but did not compress it (the video is 720p but I have a crappy upload), so I have to do it tonight.

Any different angles of photos, or video you may want?

Basically, it's an HTC Trophy lookalike.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sir. Haxalot:
I'd easily keep that one. If you don't want two phones, sell your HD7, it's first gen hardware compared to this one. Also, take some high quality pictures of it, will you? :)

As long as they haven't signed any NDAs it shouldn't be any problems, and I doubt that they'll be able to determine who extracted the ROM anyway.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
Yea, if you didn't say it was a Mazaa...I would think it was my trophy at least mine as 16gb....

7720 tho....I want :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] lionmilk:
I will try to accomplish all these! Wait for my videos tonight!
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
I'm interested in a side shot. Is this the exact same chassis as the Trophy?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cpitt:
I only have my two phones, and no camera at the moment. I'll try to see if I can get my hands on a Camera Before the Day is done.

So far the differences are almost unnoticeable, but here's what I've found so far:

The camera has quite a few new settings, tried to get a picture but they didn't fit in one pic. The Settings include:Brightness, contrast, Saturation, sharpness, white balance, image effect, ISO Gain, Best Shot Mode, Anti-Banding, Focus Mode, Exposure metering mode, and Exposure Compensation.

There is a new local scout app icon

Hidden Wifi network

And that's about all I've noticed thus far, other than speed which may or may not have something to do with the faster processor/memory.

The Mazaa Vs HD7

Sorry about the thumbnails. Even though I posted a picture yesterday, today it's telling me I need more than 8 posts to link to outside sites. I'll try to answer questions when I have time.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cpitt:
Never had a trophy so I can't say, but here are some pics
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cpitt:
If you can direct to some instructions on doing so I might consider it.

There were no agreement made between me and MS, so I don't see any problems unless of course there was something in the license agreement when I first started up the phone that I didn't read.

Oh and sorry for the multiple posts, just trying to answer everyone's questions.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kaspik:
Hello, is there tethering available?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cpitt:

[Windows Phone 7 General] :
Cpitt, is your HTC HD7 running Mango RC or NoDo?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cpitt:
It's running Mango build 7.10.7712.60, sorry I should have mentioned that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
Just looking at these two images, I can see a huge difference with the HTC HD7 getting 23 FPS and HTC Mazaa getting 50 FPS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cpitt:
Boot time both the Mazaa and the HD7 are about 22 seconds with only a fraction of a second's difference.

On the speed reader test the Mazaa averaged 31Fps with average draw duration of 32ms, and the htc hd7 averaged 29fps with an average draw duration of 34ms.

Fishtank on the Mazaa is about 47 fps, where it's only abou 30 on the HD7
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
Thanks for all the info.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lionmilk:
I could not post links here but I have two videos for you. Please check eBay link for them. Sorry but apparently I do not have 8 posts!
[Windows Phone 7 General] qsr786:
I think that the MAZAA is therefore faster because it running with latest MANGO Build RTM and HD7 Mango Beta 2. In Mango beta 2 version the fps limited to 30 where in Mango RTM the fps is limited to 60 fps. Therefore the Mazaa is faster in the tests.

Correct me if iam wrong.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
Yea, WP7 was limited to 30fps, and mango I thought was 50fps but, not sure...

The performace difference didn't look that much better over all, the FPS will be updated on every current phone once 7720 hits the providers (unless someone gets access to it right now)...
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Mazaa is faster because it uses an Adreno 205 GPU instead of the Adreno 200 in the HD7. The Adreno 205 is roughly twice as powerful as the 200.

The frame rate limit affects XNA, and WPBENCH isn't using XNA as far as I know. Also, I imagine games will still, by default, by 30 fps until they have been updated to remove the limitation.
[Windows Phone 7 General] marco89nish:
Mazaa doesn't run RTM, it runs 7712. Difference is that it has better graphics, Adreno 205 on Mazaa compared to Adreno 200 on first gen WP7 devices. CPU performance is similar but clock can go up to 1.5GHz, depending on phone model, so 50% boost can be achieved. Mazaa probably runs at 1GHz based on benchmarks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cpitt:
Check the pics, its running 7720 the RTM build.
[Windows Phone 7 General] qsr786:
do you guys remember when Microsoft showed that the fish test video in ie9 was in fps at 50 fps and he was using a HTC Mozart, do you know which video I mean where they compared the browsers IOS, android etc...

I love how all the "news" sites are using the pictures I posted here. I guess I should have taken more care to not capture my "people" icon in the pictures, now my ugly mug is plastered up on dozens of blogs, oh well lesson learned I guess.

They are also reporting that lionmilk sold his phone for 699. I'm not huge into playing games, or doing really anything that requires heavy computing on my phone for that matter. I want to develop a few lightweight apps in the future, but that's about it. Ever so tempting, I am a poor student developer after all. ;)

Edit: I couldn't help myself, I need the cash a lot more than I need the phone. Tuition/rent/gas doesn't pay for itself after all. I know some of you may think I'm dumb for selling it, but hey to each their own, right? If anyone from MS see this and has a problem with it let me know, and if I'm in the wrong I'll pull the listing.

Isn't this phone supposed to go to Sprint? Its CDMA. So this wont for for anyone that uses a SIM card? Correct me if I'm wrong... The phone looks nice, too. What is the resolution? I know its an LCD display...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Listerine:
Well at least we know that newer HTC phones (e.g. Mazaa) take a lot better pictures than previous phones (HD7) with the same megapixel resolution. If you compare the pictures of the HD7 and Mazaa benchmark photos, the Mazaa clearly is sharper under identical lighting conditions.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Mike48236:
I'm another Mazaa winner - received mine yesterday. Attached a few more pictures for your pleasure. Trophy on the left; Mazaa on the right. Only standout difference is the USB power adapter.

Yes - it is CDMA but has a SIM card slot for Global Phone capabilities.

I ran the MEID through Verizon's activation wizard and it does accept the device as eligible for activation on the network... which is promising.

One problem, though - right now it doesn't connect to the CDMA network after booting, so I cannot dial *228 to activate the device on Verizon's network.

Anyone have any thoughts on how I can provision the network on the device for Verizon? It comes with just the Mango OS and nothing else (e.g. nothing HTC specific on the device). The HTC Apps do not show in the marketplace, I sideloaded HTC Connection Setup, but it doesn't recognize the device as being HTC and won't allow it to launch. I'm currently attempting to edit some of the the HTC dll's in the XAP, but I'm not extremely confident that will work (who knows what other HTC software components are missing on the phone - ex. I noticed the hardware buttons don't light up).

I tried calling HTC to see if they had anything for the phone (like an updated HTC Connect for newer devices) and they new as little about the device as anyone else -which I can't say I totally surprised about.
[Windows Phone 7 General] qsr786:
Well is the HTC Mazaa faster than Trophy in opening apps or speed of system? and what else is better or has improved in the Mango RTM is ie9 faster, it should run at 50 fps?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dj21o:
Ahhh I'm so jealous I want a WP7!!! Come now October!!!!! lol.

When a better phone comes to sprint, I'm buying it lol.
