[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj21o:
I seriously hate this. I have sprint and I am fed up with Android. And there is one wp7 available for sprint. Everyone says Mango, but where is the damn fruit already?

I don't want a small screen with a keyboard. If sprint doesn't get a better phone before/slightly after Christmas, I'm probably going to pick up the GSII.

The GSM carriers are loaded with various WP7 phones. Where is the love with CDMA?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
Trust me, I feel your pain, there is only one device with Verizon...and I waited for ever for the base WP7 device.

The problem is that GSM covers about 85-90% of the world, not just the US.

When a company makes a phone for the global market, it will make the GSM models first because that is where the money is. After the profits start slowing down from the GSM models, then will go towards a CDMA market because there will be more profits to make.

Unless your carrier (Sprint in your case or Verizon in my case) wants a big OEM (HTC, Nokia, etc) to create them a custom phone for their network (and WP7 is not big enough for Sprint or vzw yet), you have to wait till the offer models and that does not show up for a year later.

Look at all the old flip phones, Moto for example, the razor, GSM had it over a year before CDMA carriers did, same deal.

So, if you want new phones on their release, you need to be with a GSM carrier or just wait, like most CDMA users have to....

I'm dreaming of a LTE (Verizon 4G) based WP7 device with a 4" SuperLCD/Super AMOLED display, a QWERTY keyboard, front camera with a good 10-12mp rear camera, dual core CPU and better GPU (for newer games),

very slim

design and a 2-3 day(real world) battery without making the phone huge. Who ever makes it, I'll buy it...

but, I guess one could dream......
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 937dytboi:
That's y I left Sprint because of the lack of cdma love. Never will make that mistake again. T mobile service sucks in my area wish I had my DVP on Sprint Sero. But I hope Nokia shows us something today.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makoute:
What else would they show, they've made it clear that it's WP7 or burst, they better have one.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 937dytboi:
When are they debuting it. I've been looking on pocketnow and haven't seen anything
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny17:
Yeah, wish I could leave Sprint, but $40 a month for unlimited data, text, mobile to mobile, nights and weekends, free roaming, 500 anytime. . . well you get the idea. As much as it pains me to not have as many hardware options, I don't feel as much pain when it comes to bill time.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj21o:
I know this sucks lol. Do you think they will go towards CDMA this quarter or no? The phones are in high demand from what I've seen. People are just waiting.

I don't know, I might just go out and buy the arrive. Its just like the android shift, but with a tilting display and running WP7. I don't mind the 3.5" display, but coming from an EVO screen size, do you think that is too small or no?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
No, unless Verizon/Sprint request(aka: Pay big $$$) for a custom phone, no, they wont rush out a model (Note: Carrier or MS, MS could request that CDMA phones are released on the same time).

Think about it, Sprint and Verizon are US companies only and on a global scale, CDMA accounts for around 10% but, I believe it's less. So Verizon and Sprint both combined would be about 4-6% of the worlds sold phones, if that. Even if everyone in Verizon and Sprint was requesting phones, would you as a company put all your effort to companies that account for less than 10% of your market ? I don't think so...

The 4.3" display ? Yea, it is a quite smaller and it might be too small for some people but, in the 3.5-3.8" is a good size for a phone that fits in your pocket.

Want my advice ? If you want WP7, pick up an Arrive off contract. You should be able to get one for under $300 (seen some used go on ebay for under $200 but, for the most part under $300, Just make sure you get one with a clean ESN). So if some new awsome model comes out for Sprint, you don't use up your 2 year contract and still can get a new phone.

That's what I did with my Trophy, still have a $100 credit towards a new phone and I'll hold it till there is a phone that I really want.

My Trophy is a nice phone and it will hold me out till then.....
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 937dytboi:
Same sero plan I was on. Didn't help that my tp2 was almost non functional either. But I sure do miss my sero plan. Sprint service is better in my area than Tmobile. And I sure wasn't going to wait for that Tp3. I was not at all impressed with It so i just went and got the dvp with no contract.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj21o:
Yeah that is a really good idea... CDMA phones are always last for everything. If I can pick one up for 200 or less, I'll just do that then. But hopefully one comes out by then.

If not, I guess I'll buy the GSII. Unless I can buy an unlocked trophy and use it on sprint? Is that possible? I don't really like physical keyboards.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny17:
The Arrive is a great phone - you will be happy with it, and the screen is big enough, especially since you have a nice keyboard.

But I imagine you are like me, and want a nice candybar form-factor, like the GSII. Hopefully Sprint will get one this holiday season, but until then, the Arrive is a very nice phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj21o:
Yeah I am going to wait. I for sure do not want any other Android other than the GSII. I personally wish the hardware was up to date with WP7, but what can you do. At least it has a nice HD display. :)

Probably will check it out again tomorrow. I'm ready for a phone to actually "work" without a hassel of "oh **** I forgot the flash that fix", or "my battery is draining, I need to kill more apps, change kernels, switch CPU settings, blah blah blah blah blah."

Why are Androids even called "smartphones"? They have more problems than a farmer trying to grow crops in the winter. Its just pointless lol. I never play games, I go on facebook, (can't even sync anything = battery dead), check emails, and Reddit time to time.

WP7 would be perfect for me lol.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny17:
So, what happened to the Aug. 17th announcement?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nok_fusion:
nothing at all ...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny17:
Isn't it Aug. 18th everywhere in the World by now?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
Nokia did announce that their first major push for WP7 will be in China, but that is the only announcement I found from them yesterday.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidkevin:
I Mango phones are coming in Sep/Oct, when the hell are they gonna show em off?? Tired of waiting, Nokia does this a lot! Was hoping they wouldnt do it with wp7.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidkevin:
I thought the battery on the Focus could have been better.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
Just taking a quick look around, ebay there is a few at the $200 range, there is a buy-it-now for one for $199 with a little scrach on the back of it... all with claimed good ESNs...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj21o:
Yeah, and I have the protection so I can walk in there, say something is screwed up, and get a replacement lmao. Works every time. ;) I've done it with an Epic and now my Evo lol.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sure haven't:
Uh... no they're not.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj21o:
I can't stand waiting lol. My friend came over yesterday, I messed around with his Focus for a few, and not only did his phone run 10 times better than my Evo, it lasted longer! He even had 3g/Wifi going all at once!

To top it off, I unplugged my phone at 8:30am, came home from work around 5, plugged it in again, with over 50 percent battery left, it still died in 4+ hours after that. His phone still had 10 percent left. I'm sooooooo sick of Android battery life. I even had all of my data turned off and everything.

Pardon my French, but its bull****.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidkevin:
Says who? When are they coming then? Nov/Dec? 2012?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbeelzebub:
I'm not sure where the thenokiablog.com or whatever it is called got it's info, but they claim that Verizon is getting a Top of the line Nokia running WP, while AT&T-Mo are getting mid to low tier devices.

I'm actually excited about the prospect. I'll be ditching Android as my phone OS of choice if Nokia can bring the goods. It just has to be on Verizon and hopefully LTE.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbeelzebub:
First Mango phone in Japan launches on August 25th (Fujitsu). It's been said they would be the first territory to launch in, hopefully it won't be too long after that good things start hitting elsewhere.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj21o:
I really don't think any of the phones will be out until 2012. I don't want to wait anymore, especially since the GSII will be coming to Sprint September 9th.

At least I waited for as long as I did lol. Maybe in 2-years I'll grab a WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidkevin:
I think they are coming in the next 3 months for sure.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj21o:
The thing is, I really want to switch to WP7. (I see you have the GSII in your signature). But, I don't want to wait anymore. The reason I am in a hurry, is because my phone has screen problems, and I don't want to go through the hassel of re-rooting my Evo.

And the GSII really puts out more power than the WP7 phones, but I am not waiting until November (if this even does happen). I just don't want to get an obsolete device that will be thrown under the bridge after I get it.

How do you like your GSII?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
Hi, battery life on WP7 phones is equal to current Android devices.

May I recommend you one of the older Blackberry devices?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
Could you link directly to the info your disucssing ? As AT&T being a premere partner with WIndows Phone 7, I see it hard to say that Verizon will get the first high end phone from Nokia when AT&T will get low end models. I just dont see it.

Maybe it does, maybe it will be a great phone, maybe it will have LTE. All I know is with Windows Phone 7, HTC is the king. A HTC model tends to be hacked a lot quicker than any other phone, there for has the largest following.

Nokia really has to have the "blow me away" phone to want to change. Yes, I have had Nokia phones in the past but, I've had more HTC models in the last few years.

I really hope for something special but, time will tell.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj21o:
Haha no I do not want a Blackberry, but thanks for the offer lol. The GSII has decent battery life, and if I need to buy an extended battery I guess I have to do what I have to do. Of course after the hacking and what not. ;)

But if Sprint is going to get a Nokia device, and it confirms before the GSII hits Sprint, I will gladly wait. But right now, I'm set on the GSII. I just hate waiting blindly for a device that may never come to my carrier, and 90% of phone users are GSM. So I got biffed on that lol.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbeelzebub:
http://thenokiablog.com/2011/08/09/nokia-all-in-nokia-windows-phone/

That's the article I've seen referenced a lot on the net. Again, just a rumor, who knows if there is any weight behind their sources. Supposedly they have a decent record.

Sidenote: I emailed Dan Meade of Verizon and said I was discouraged with their current line up of Android phones and suggested they carry a Nokia WP. I actually got a call back from his assistant asking me about my concern and said to keep my eyes open.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
Thanks for posting the link, I could not find it in a quick search. I would count that as rumor, nothing more but, it is interesting if it was true.

Verizon has publicly stated that their interest was not good with WP7 and they had NO need for WP7 on a Nokia device. It will be interesting to see tho...and what type of "high end" phone Nokia makes.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidkevin:
Damn hope its not true! I want that sea ray! And affordable models on att?? Argh...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidkevin:
Its a great phobe, best Android hands down, theres no lag whatsoever, the build quality is cheap, my only complaint but at least its bulmilt good, no creaks or anythibg, beyond that it is the best Android phone, if not phone out, it has everything. Just Im done with Android, I want something, quick smooth and simple, not to mention all that wp7 eye candy! Love it! Even with this phone, smoothest android I have ever used, wp7 still just feels like butter when using it, so nice! Im waiting for the perfect wp7 for me and this is going on ebay, if youre into android this IS the phone to get. Oh btw the battery is just OK, not bad not good, nothing has beaten the IP4 imo.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj21o:
Yeah I have my Android the way I want it. It has good battery life (for me), but I can't sync my data and it can be choppy at times. I have been waiting for a good WP7 to hit sprint, but I don't see that happening soon, so I might be forced to getting an Android phone once again. Unless I just wait it out, but why do that when I can get a better one that can meet MOST of my needs lol.

But I can't wait to try the GSII, I have seen videos and I really love the TouchWiz that comes on there. I agree it looks like the best one, hands down.

Hopefully a Windows Phone comes to Sprint in there near future. I don't know if I can wait any longer with my screen being messed up lol.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbeelzebub:
After whomever from Verizon said the remark about not needing Nokia or Windows Phone, about three days later his boss told the press that the guy misspoke and they were very interested. http://wmpoweruser.com/verizon-now-...ne-7-refuses-to-release-iphone-sales-numbers/

I don't want to get myself too worked up, but I'm loving the idea of a nice Carl Zeiss lens and ST Erricson has already said they will be providing dual core processors for Nokia's WPs. I'm really excited to see what Big Red gets. I cannot live without a nice AMOLED display.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fleon888:
Are you smoking something? I've got 2 WP7 phones and 3 Android phones. Android's battery life is non-existent unless I go kill half the stuff.

And yes, this is with either the stock ROMs or with custom ROMs.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
I have/had 2 Android devices and an Omnia 7. Both Android last equally long as the O7. Your response isn't contradicting my post as in comparison to BB batt life is non existant on any WP7/Android phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidkevin:
I mean yea if you love Android go for it, I just want a good build quality wp7 even if it has decent specs, sea ray is perfect imo, the hd7s is pretty nice from what ive seen, just no ffc. I suggest waiting till at least end of sept, if no news on wp7 just go for gs2. My money is on news very soon.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj21o:
Yeah the great thing about WP7 is that you don't need dual core processors and top notch specs to get the job done, its smooth as butter with a lower 1ghz snapdragon under it.

I'm perfectly fine with getting a GSII, but I would rather have a WP7. I'm waiting until the holidays and that's it. I cannot wait any longer than that.

I'm afraid Sprint wont take any consideration to WP7. They like their Android phones and that's all I am subjected to buy. There is no iPhone, 1 Windows Phone7 phone, and other non-smartphones. I am not going back to a non-smartphone ever again lol.

Presumably, I'm just going to see what news pops up in the near future.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidDragon:
i can't wait for Nokia hardware
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidkevin:
Hmm the problem for you seems to be sprint, hope thry get a good wp7 for you, trust me I know how you feel, there was a time where everyone but att was getting badass androids, things will change in time. But yea you said until the holidays, thats enough time imo for news to pop up on some wp7 goodness...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj21o:
Yeah and the new iPhone 5 just got on board with Sprint for mid October. Probably going to buy that. I can't stand problems with my android phones anymore.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidkevin:
Agreed, I dont need a bunch of customization, I just want something that works, if wp7 fails its IP for me, until then, wp7 baby!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj21o:
Absolutely, I always change my homescreen because I feel like I don't like it. I would kind of rather just have whatever I want on the homescreen, I can care less about customization now. I think iPhone has that down.

I'm looking at videos comparing and the iPhone's display is (to say the least) amazing. Other manufacturers need to have an HD display like that. The colors just pop.

Whatever decides to hit first! Woot woot!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidkevin:
Wow! Me and you think exactly the same, aside from being bigger and better black levels, I think the retnia display is just as good as SAP, in fact after going from IP4 to GS2 now, I was really unimpressed, it grew on me though.

I too am always changing homecreens, players, keyboards on Android, its lile not feels right to me and it feels like I have a cluttered mess, Wp7 and ios have everything seamless and nicly laid out, no hassle at all. IP is nearly perfect in what I want, fantastic hardware, great screen, camera, fast, great os, just a few things I need, bigger screen, and some enhancements in the OS, if a really good hardware wp7 dosnt come soon Im going back to ios.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj21o:
I am exactly in the same boat haha. My friend has the Focus, I loved it, but I picked up the iPhone yesterday and saw the resolution, I couldn't put the phone down. Sure, led technology is good, but you wont have that crisp look at all. All you need to do is turn your brightness up and it looks ten times better IMO.

If iPhone 5 delivers, great. I would love to buy it. But if WP7 doesn't meet requirements (now knowing iPhone is on the way), its a no brainer for me.

I hardly play games, I like to sync my email, go on Reddit, news and weather, stuff like that. Games are a waste of money IMO. But they make good time killers if you are bored and you need time to kill. Lol.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidkevin:
Agree, the only games I play on my phone are quick little arcade type ones, people go crazy about these big games on mobile that utilize Dual Core and all that, I say whats the point? The screens are too small and your fingers get in the way of the action, plus that's why I have a PS3 lol.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj21o:
Yeah I know right, lets get Battlefield 3 on it and play with every console known to man, because that would justify we did it on a phone lmao. You can't even play the first person shooters well at all. You move your guy with your left thumb, and your right thumb turns your guy. You have to push the fire button which, in turn, makes shooting and moving side to side completely impossible. Its beyond dumb.

Not to mention it destroys your battery lol. No apps are even made for dual core, and even a jailbroke iPhone can handle live wallpapers better than any mid to high range android devices. And that's without dual core processors hahahahaha.

And to top it all off, I'd rather play bowling or Tetris, not all of this dumb ****. Thank God there is still simplicity in some of the Operating Systems, because I can see Android as a huge clusterfuck. Especially with all of the malware and viruses people have been getting. I'd rather pay for the app and know I'm safe, rather than someone seeing everything persoanl on my phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidkevin:
Man glad theres another person that thinks like I do, I tried even the nes emulator and its just not the same, cant do it, and funny you say BF3 cause its coming to ios xD!

So I asked in the Q&A forum if SixaxisPairTool APP, a PS3 controller enabler, worked for the Atrix 4g.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1221652

I have received multiple confirmations that this App works. I do not know about any ROM specific bugs or disabilities.

Seeing that I could not find a PS3 controller app/support before this, I configured a Wii remote instead, and it worked flawlessly in N64iod.

I would like to share both then :cool::cool::cool:

TO INSTALL PS3 CONTROLLER SUPPORT

Before you buy the app, there is a checker that see's if your device is capable. I would download that first and check just in case.

TO INSTALL Wii REMOTE/NUN-CHUCK/CLASSIC CONTROLLER SUPPORT

(Includes Download and instructions)

http://android.ccpcreations.com/wiicontroller

To enable support in N64iod, go to options, other settings, check "use input method/enable special input through IME".

Then go back to settings, go to input, and hit key mappings.

Nunchuck/classic should be plugged into wii remote before mapping keys.
