Best screen technology: Omnia 7 (Focus is Omnia 7 is not available, but Focus is not as good in other ways).

Best screen: Omnia 7 or HD7S, depending on whether you value more technology or size.

Best basic design: Optimus 7 (good battery, best build quality, physical buttons).

Best keyboard: Venue Pro (technically, the 7 Pro has the best keyboard, but WP7 was not made with landscape keyboards in mind, so Venue Pro wins).

Camera: From what I've seen, I'd give that to the Focus (or the Omnia 7, but I haven't seen many photo comparisons with the Omnia 7, so I can't tell if they have the same camera module).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z33dev33l:
Most of your comparisons are screen related which isn't all that matters and I certainly wouldn't say the optimus7 has the best build quality or battery life.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strike_Eagle:
Overall, i have to go with Schubert HD7.

1. HTC ROMs usually easy to install

2. HTC phones are usually easier to hack than others devices (that's why we all see HD7 become one of the first device get Custom ROM from The DFT)

3. 4.3 Inch Huge Screen. I don't use my phone that much outside, and my eye-infinity level is not high, TFT-LCD serve me quite well, but the 4.3 Inch is the main idea.

4. HTC has some good OEM's apps

5. Eye-Candy Level of the HD7 is one on the top of the list.

But HD7 also not really a good choice because of its bad quality design and bad battery life. But with people who had owned a Leo before, you can pretty much handle the Schubert the same, and i am one of them.

I dont think WP7 limited landscape support really matter... On emails, sms, calendar, notes, tasks, word, excel etc the landscape works. I much rather write on wide screen than high...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Extreme boy:
Using HTC HD7 from Feb 19. Worst phone i ever used. First it's receiver died last month. They issued me a new phone after lot's of phone calls and emails. The phone they sent died on same day "Failed to boot and gives seven vibrations on start-up then hangs". They again said sorry and issued me another phone. I got it after 12 days. Now phone is working but microphone is faulty. I filed a case in consumer court against HTC. They wasted more than 50+ days in this stupid give and take process.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z33dev33l:
perfect example of HTC quality... Without all the easy access they offer on other OSes you're able to look and often be thoroughly unimpressed with the hardware.

I'm partial to the Dell Venue Pro that I have. When it came out it was plagued with wifi issues but ever since the fix last month it has been wonderful! No freeze ups ever!

Coming from a BlackBerry I really wanted a keyboard in portrait mode and this one rocks!

It took a day to adjust to its own idiosyncrasies, but now I fly on the keyboard when I need to hammer out a long SMS or email reply. I love the OLED screen, when the brightness is on high it really shines!

after last months fixes I've never seen a better phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord AnubiS:
HD7 is my choice, mainly because I like the big screen... I'm mostly in the office, so battery life is not much of a problem for me. Built quality I feel is very good, it's not heavy and fits nice on the hands.

It would be nice some 32 Gb of memory because I like to have all my music with me, and podcast and take photos from time to time but nothing can be perfect :-/

I like HTC phones but I'll wait until mango get released and rooted/jailbreaked to buy a new phone.

I'm pretty happy with my Trophy.

Yeah, everything is improvable, always, but I find it to be a very round product. Very well built, metal front casing, good enough call quality, good enough screen, good battery life, and overall snappy performance. Very good screen size/overall size ratio. It's slim and good looking so do I :p

As for the storage, upgrading it to 32 GB was pretty straight forward thanks to the detailed tut by a fellow member.

Is the only WP7 phone I've tried so I'm not voting here but overall I'm very satisfied.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hextor_PL:
I have HTC HD7, and i think that is a best WP7 phone, but Samsung Omnia 7 witch is good too. Before I bought HTC i was testing both of them and I chosen HTC because of big screen.

BTW. I think that soon some Nokia will be a best phone with WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xCTRL:
Thanks spookidoodles for your really nice first post. It has convinced me to sell my SGS and buy Omnia 7 :D yea the android was nice at first with all the customizing etc but I haven't change my homescreens since the first week I got it lol also hate it when it starts lagging while browsing, had to pull the battery twice because of the phone freezing....

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyCLown89:
I have an HTC Mozart and quite like it.

Previously had an N8 and Touch Diamond.

The Mozart's battery life sucks compared to my N8, screen isn't too bad.

Phone design, looks etc are quite good imo.

One thing which really annoys me is the bottom cover being the antenna. You hold your phone and the signal drops. Really annoying. HTC need to improve on their antenna design and put an end to the death grip. Have two antennas perhaps. One bottom and one top.

So our WP7 devices pretty much have the same main hardware, 1ghz CPU, adreno 200gpu, then the ram some have more than others. I think 576mb is the most any current wp7 device has?

I personally think after the main actual hardware and design flaws it comes on to personal preference. Some like big screens, others smaller, some prefer better camera, some want an LED screen, some a keyboard etc. Everyone has different wants and needs so therefore we have multiple devices to help and fulfill everyone's desire.

So the best phone is the one which suits you and your needs best. You ar e the one who forks out the cash and has to use the device - not us.

FYI, the original method for obtaining unlock codes from Ashergray or Mills has been blocked by Sony. Now, the only way to unlock has to be done through Allejandrissimo, and costs money.

A free solution is being worked on, but we are nearly back to square one as far as unlocking goes.

[Defy General] windywoo:
I had a Defy that wouldn't connect to the internet when on wifi as I described in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1137085

I sent it to Motorola to fix and the first time they didn't even diagnose the correct fault even though I filled it in on their support page. It came back to me with a software upgrade that didn't fix anything.

I sent it back again with a full description of the fault and this time I think they didn't even bother to read the description. They've sent it back to me a second time with the same fault present and the list of tests they did doesn't seem to include anything to do with wifi.

I am afraid that if I send it back a third time they'll just give me the runaround again. What options do I have? The phone is still within Warranty, they owe me a fix or a new phone but how can I force them to honour the warranty?

Cheers.
[Defy General] windywoo:
Bump for great justice.
[Defy General] scrannel:
Read your original post. Have you tried using a different wifi?

Also, try this: turn ON your airplane mode. Then turn ON your wifi. Wait until you get a wifi signal. Then: dialer > *#*#4636#*#* > phone information > tap "run ping test". If you "PASS" your wifi just connected and works.
[Defy General] windywoo:
Thanks but it doesn't really connect to wifi, just stops at getting the ip address. I have tried on a different wifi network. I actually have two in my house as one won't cover the whole house. I also took the phone to my friend's business and tried connecting there with no joy. On the rare occasion it does connect I can't get on the internet.
[Defy General] scrannel:
OK, but have you tried it in airplane mode with wifi on?

If you still cannot connect, leave it with airplane mode on and wifi on. Do the dialer > *#*#4636#*#* > phone information thing and scroll down to "set preferred network type" What does it say? It should say "unknown."

Back out of this, turn airplane mode OFF and wifi ON. Go back into the INFO menu (dialer > *#*#4636#*#* > phone information) and scroll down to "set preferred network type". It should say "GSM only". Does it? If not, what does it say? Also, if it doesn't you can manually change it to "GSM only". Try all that and please tell us what happens in each step.
[Defy General] windywoo:
It happens as you describe. Network type unknown for the first step and GSM auto PRL for the second step.
[Defy General] scrannel:
OK... if you have airplane mode OFF and wifi ON and you see it sats "GSM auto PRL", did you try changing it to "GSM only"? From my experience you cannot get wifi if it says "GSM auto PRL". Trying changing it to "GSM only".
[Defy General] fendymn:
I have the same problem too.I've try your methods but it won't work.
[Defy General] JackSparrow17:
How to add or put DNS?
[Defy General] scrannel:
Can you be more specific? If you changed "GSM auto PRL" to "GSM only", did it...

a) Refuse to change?

b) Change back after you exited?

c) Stay as GSM only and still not connect to wif?
[Defy General] windywoo:
Basically I want to know if I can demand a replacement handset from Motorola. I've tried all the fixes I can find on these forums and now Motorola have twice failed to fix it. I'd rather not send it to them a third time and have the same result.
[Defy General] fendymn:
Mine would be c
[Defy General] scrannel:
If it stayed at" GSM only" this suggests your phone is trying to do the right thing. Because in order to switch from "GSM auto PRL" to "GSM only" it needs to actually detect a wifi signal, not just have the wifi activated on the phone. Have you tried changing your router settings?

Have a look at this post from the moto forum: (https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/456261#456261)

"Why does my Defy constantly lose its WIFI connection despite an excellent signal strength?

I experienced roughly the same problems: good WIFI signal but little or no traffic at all.

It seems I have found a solution for my specific case - maybe it works for others as well.

My Setup:

WLAN router: Linksys WRT160N (Firmware Version: v1.53.0)

Moto Defy (MB525, Firmware version: 2.1-update1, System version: Moto_Version.2.34.1.MB525.Retail.en.SEA)

Originally I had the router running in wirless-N mode. After reading that this could be the problem, I changed to wireless-G mode. This seemed to slightly improve the situation, though still the WIFI connection was far from satisfying (medium signal strength, but no response / traffic). With my laptop computer things were fine regardless of the wireless mode.

The WIFI router serves roughly 6 devices.

I then stumbled upon the QoS or WMM (or WME) setting for the router which originally was enabled.

Since I disabled that the connection is fast and stable and i didn't have problems anymore."
[Defy General] windywoo:
I've tried G already but the QoS thing was new. Still no luck ofc.
[HTC Wildfire S] ginnerchris:
Can't find a thread for this on the forum.

Been exploring the phone memory using file manager app, and found the folder system/app which contains a lot of the system apk and odex files and is 106mb.

Is it safe to move this to the SD card? Folder shows a last modified date of 16/04/2011 which is 3 months before I bought the phone.

This would free up a huge chunk of the phone memory and provide more room for messages & contacts which is what I'm hoping to achieve, as well as space for apps which won't move to SD card.
[HTC Wildfire S] ravijokhun:
if am not mistaken you need to be rooted for that...
[HTC Wildfire S] ginnerchris:
Think you might be right on this one.

Tried moving one of the apks, and it copied rather than just moving it.

Also wouldn't let me delete.

I'm a bit of a noob (don't hate me), and not sure where to start with rooting, so a couple of questions (and apologies if they're really obvious).

1) I've read around a bit, and there seems to be a disagreement about whether rooting invalidates warranty? Is there a definitive answer?

2) If all I want to do is move stuff out of the phone memory, what is the easiest/safest way of rooting?

3) Does anyone know any way of making the files in the system folder not "read only"
[HTC Wildfire S] badassballer:
Well far as i know - the answers to your questions would be in the following order :

1 - Well there might not be a definitive answer and that might depend on your providers policy etc -

2 - The safest way to move stuff is rooting and if you want to know more about rooting you can find multiple threads about that in the development section such as this one :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195275

But you need to make sure your device is "S-OFF" and not "S-ON" -

3 - I wouldn't recommend messing about with the default settings of system files etc -
[HTC Wildfire S] hyoussef2010:
i wouldn't recommend rooting, you can use APP2SD softwares to move your installed applications to SD without rooting, unless you really know what are you doing
[HTC Wildfire S] Pepski:
I've been on Android for about 2 years now. Just bought the Samsung GSII for myself and my girlfriend got the Wildfire S.

She's only installed maybe 7-8 apps (if that), most have since been moved to the SD card, but she's constantly receiving a message about a lack of internal memory.

Is there any way to move all her apps to the SD card, or another way to free up some space?

** I'd like to do all this without rooting her phone. I'm a complete novice when it comes to modifying phones - only just got the hang of using different launchers. :D
[HTC Wildfire S] Aef 101:
I'm afraid that in order to move unmovable apps to the SD card, you will have to root the device.

You need to have a phone that is s-off in order to root, no other option as far as I am aware.

I have frozen market updater, so I can stay on the older UI version 2.3.4, which scrolls fine on search. With the new market, I can scroll any of the lists (top paid, top free, trending....etc), it is just search results that does not let me scroll past the initial 20 or so. I tried clearing the cache and data and that was no help. Considering it was happening on other devices on my plan, I emailed Google and they replied this was normal behavior for the new market. What??? It wasn't with the previous UI, not even on Froyo. In fact, it worked fine with the initial update to the new UI. It wasn't until the second update that the problem arose. I have even flashed a different stock rooted rom since I last tried. Oh well, I will keep market updater frozen, until I can get a new version that is fully functional on my device.

[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Interestingly enough, when i search for "keyboard skins" I get 650 results but can't scroll past the first 20 (I've tried 3 times). Other searches will let me scroll all of the results with no problem - for example "calendar" which returned 7805 results (tried 3 times) and "widget" which returned 20242 results. Some others, "keyboard" for example, 3676 results, will only let me scroll the first 2 sets of 20 and then no more (also tried 3 times). This is weird. Are you only able to see the first 20 on all searches, or just some?

Anyway - aside from this, it seems to be running fine on VU 1.33
