I've used WM since the first SPV and have upgraded every year since. In the last 12 months I've had a Touch, Touch Diamond and now an HD. I also have an Ipod Touch.

As a die hard WM fan I'm wishing I had upgraded to the Iphone. WM is just so outdated and the UI is just so drab in comparison.

There are so many more apps available now fro iphone/ipod touch, They look better and often work better. With a new Iphone model out this year which is rumoured to run aps in the background and will you be tempted away from WM?
[General Questions and Answers] orb3000:
No way!

I´m aware that MS UI is not as good as should be, but the only idea of getting a "control" Iphone instead of choosing among hundreds of WM devices scares me

I´ll stick to MS with all it´s imperfections...I have hope that wm7 can be something really good.

Just my opinion.
[General Questions and Answers] josefcrist:
i have had all sorts of devices and i have to say wm is where i will stay. i think that the ui is great actually. and i am sure that wm still has more apps

I Love the variety of windows mobile devices and it's just what it's suppose to be a mini PC in the palm of my hand. And WM can do so much more than iphone so yep my next device will be WM :P
[General Questions and Answers] ZenithUK:
The first criterion for my mobile phone is that it is WinMo.

The second is that it has GPS.

Everything else after that is just icing the cake.

My phone is a mobile first, sat-nav second, stock-tracking PDA third. Why carry three devices when one will do it all? :)

The iPhone won't run my work stock-track application so it has to be WinMo.
[General Questions and Answers] boog:
I really want a pocket computer/phone, with a real os like Win XP or OSX that is just like on a desktop or laptop, but I haven't seen one yet, and I'm poor and will not be able to afford one when they come out! haha :D

But, I will be sticking with my windows mobile pda phones for now. It's the closest to what I need at the moment. Phone, email, spreadsheets, and pdf are my main needs, with gps/mapping close behind that. And from what I see, none of the other phones quite do what I want, except Palm Powered devices, but WM is more customizable, and looks better, so it wins out for me.
[General Questions and Answers] cktlcmd:
The only reason I would switch to an iPhone would be if it's OS can run Skyscape Applications. Otherwise, WM is just perfect for my needs.
[General Questions and Answers] abetreo750:
WM

I still think WM is the best platform for overall usability and power. With WM 6.5 the UI has been simplified for easy access to important applications. Over all GUI looks a bit smoother. Can't wait to update my Treo 750 to WM 6.5.
[General Questions and Answers] darthbane2k:
Sadly (commercial) developement on WM has dried up. No one takes the platform seriously anymore, and yes I am jealous of the iphones many apps and better polished apps (eg compare facebook and last fm clients). Even basic things such as emails and sms messages look better on iphone.

I am very tempted to jump ship after owning a dozen different WM phones (am using HD at moment) but one thing stops me, freedom. I HATE itunes and dont want to surrender my media to it. I like copy and paste and use it all the time, I love BT file transfer, I love A2DP. iPhone is too controlled. If Apple ease up a bit then maybe id give them a try, but for now I will stick with my HD (hopefully WM 6.5 finds its way to it) for a long time. Unless I start to see some more polish from MS and some freedom from Apple, the HD will last me a long long time
[General Questions and Answers] mwatson:
Why not jailbreak the iphone? You can do more then. I've really enjoyed WM over the years. It hasn't really changed though since 2002! Not good is it? They really need to pull something impressive out the bag with WM7 to compete with the iphone.
[General Questions and Answers] MACkjam:
I will never move away from WM now. I will also stay with HTC devices.......one reason is the fantastic support and apps available fom this site!!!
[General Questions and Answers] supersanj:
WM hands down! ive loved it since i got my first WM phone - The I-mate Jam which had WM5 on it right the way up until my Touch Diamond.

It is in every essence of the words a "pocket pc".

1. almost limitless customisation

2. abundance of apps and games

3. ability to have cooked ROM's

4. use it as a mobile/music&video player/camera/internet browser/GPS/gaming device/ dictation machine/personal organiser/office mobile/... the list goes on and on.

4. Freedom of choice unlike the iphone. which locks you down to using i(crappy)tunes to put any content on it.
[General Questions and Answers] manielse:
I've become quite a fan of Windows Mobile (as many may know by my tweets). I had a very long history of the PalmOS (a small taste of Blackberry) before I jumped and I've never looked back even though I was concerned at the time.

If you really listen to the Microsoft vision (See Balmer's keynote for CES for example), they really have the best overall picture of how to take mobile smartphones to the next level. Also due to them being Microsoft, they have the best leverage to achieve that vision with the vast array of products they produce. This is where Android and Blackberry (and Pre) fail, no leverage of interoperability.

Now onto the iPhone. I have such a love/hate for Apple. They make beautiful (overpriced) products on the surface but when you dig deeper they are quite lacking for the money. The iPod clearly lacks features of many MP3 players (FM, Bluetooth, etc), the iPhone does this as well. The major flaw is the current OS they've released does not allow multiple apps to run, this is why simple features like cut-and-paste are missing. As a WinMob user, this is essential to have a solid smartphone OS.

My biggest hate for Apple throughout the 80s to now is the lock-in philosophy. Apple simply has control freak mentality in its culture. You have to buy everything in their stores (jailbreaking is illegal), the hardware has to be created by us, the software needs to be approved by us, etc. They really are the Anti to the Open Source philosophy. They really make Microsoft look like saints to the open source world.

So the question was whether my next device will be WM? I'm not sure. I just got the Samsung Saga i770 back in December so it will likely be at least a year before I switch phones again. By then version 6.5 will be out and until I actually play with the Honeycomb interface, I'm not exactly warm on the Zune-like UI. I have a Zune (I won) and don't really care for the UI. If I can keep the Today screen and customize it with 3rd party apps like I do today then I'd be cool in that area. That said, I try to keep an open mind and I'm not opposed to switching but I don't see Apple changing its philosophy anytime soon, RIM has improved but I'm still not sold, so I guess Android and the Palm Pre may be those options.

I also kind of like the concept of a watch phone if it was waterproof and could tether to any device around me which would free us from always carrying a specific form factor (sometimes you may want a pda, a netbook, tablet, a laptop or carry nothing).

[General Questions and Answers] Joezhang:
I have been thinking about this a lot - I might switch to a palm pre if the feedback is good from early adopters or might want to see what the next generation of android devices are like.
[General Questions and Answers] typo:
My next device will PROBABLY be WM, but I can't make a guarantee on that.

I love WM's flexibility, customizeability, and power, but I loathe its sluggishness, blandness, and lack of fun/stylish/interesting apps.

Hopefully, MS launching an official app store will help with the last part. Unfortunately, I think the iPhone still has a big advantage here, since devs only have a single resolution and configuration to program for so they can make more "controlled" apps. I'm hoping MS helps on this by encouraging fullscreen WVGA development for 6.5 / 7.

If Android had actually been what I'd hoped (a mobile frontend to Google's whole web ecosystem, including integrated apps and picasa support), I'd probably be aching to jump ships. We'll see how both Android and WM develop in the next year or so before I get ready to make any switches.

[General Questions and Answers] segadc:
Hmm. Well I am with Verizon and always get a new phone with NE2 deal. At the end of the year I get the deal. I won't ever switch to another carrier so as much as I like what I see in Palm Pre, I will not get it. Nor will I get an iphone for the same reason (and even more because you have to jail break it to get it working) or G1. Anyway, I think I will just wait until 2010 to get a new phone. I really wish WM7 was released sometime in 2010 because I know for sure I would wait to get it. But anyway, right now I am loving my XV6800 I got last year and will not give it up anytime soon.

I think what I might do is get an Ipod Touch HD (hoping Apple finally releases a widescreen version and higher res) when it ever releases. This way I will not miss out on all the cool apps (well the free ones at least). I connected one to my phone which was fun and will definetly do that if I get one.

I love Windows Mobile (so flexable, love tweaking it, all the apps, xda! and hope WM7 is released sooner then later. I might upgrade my XV6800 to WM6.5 but either way I hope to continue to be on Windows Mobile and my next phone will hopfully be a WM7 phone.

[General Questions and Answers] stephj:
How many phones are knobbled when it comes to trying to write a program to run on it. WM will take a fair amount of effort to learn how to do it, but it can be done. .NET for starters or Win32 C++ if you want to take a look round the engine room. Embedded C++ 3.0 and 4.0 are still available gratis from Microsoft's Web site. .NET requires Visual studio, but not the gratis versions. Not quite as wizzo as the finger flicking Touch interfaces, but what the hell. Have a go and see what you can come up with.

For me it's Windows Mobile forever!
[General Questions and Answers] mike21pr:
what i love most about winmo is the freedom of switching ui's, unlimited possibilities of apps and that most probably no wm device are the the same cuz you can tweak it so deeply to your liking that its much easier to think outside the box and inovate. thats prolly why companies like samsung/lg/htc etc. use winmo. they can add their own taste/interface/features and keep the freedom and all with the same os.

now, honestlly i really dont like the outdated ui (6.5 isnt so much of an improvement) lagginess, and gfx issues (htc mostly) if it wasnt for htc using touchflo3d and all its apps covering up winmo and making it a more up-to-date experience, i would have jumped ship a long time ago.

iphone is great but limited and is so controlling that it left out bluetooth transfer/internet downloads and so many simple features to prevent files not controlled by apple to be stored on the device (cmon, its obvious) so ill prolly not get it. android and webos are what im looking for if id jump ship but im giving winmo one last chance. wm7 has to completelly wow me or at least htc fixing the gfx issues or i will defenetlly jump ship
[General Questions and Answers] xeirwn:
When Apple makes an iPhone completely unlocked with sdhc, removable battery and video calls, I 'll upgrade!

WM core is very old. All superior hardware remains unused. There are ridiculous issues with very expensive devices. That's a shame and many people are discouraged with WM :mad:

[Touch HD General] Wiggz:
Guys,

I'm using Super as per this link ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3103846&postcount=394 ) to re-encode my video files for optimum playing on my Touch HD.

However whenever I choose Flash video it shows he output file to be an SWF and not FLV.

I have a later build than that shown in the picture and I can't get it to say FLV.

Can somebody help?

Thanks

EDIT: Scrap that I clicked encode and it gave me the option then...sorry - consider closed :D
[Touch HD General] panos123:
hold up a sec pls.

this is even more of a newb question but..

What if you just want to covert a simple naughty mpg file from limewire etc? ;)

would you still need to buy Coreplayer to get good result?

I'm using the old settings from my n95 atm so any basic settings appreciated.
[Touch HD General] Wiggz:
That's a good question. quite frankly my Artemis was easier to use in terms of video playback...I encoded with PocketDivxEncoder and made the res smaller and job done. However I find lots of videos playing better in ALBUM than in Coreplayer (which is shocking in most flicks to be fair).

I have yet to find a "one size fits all" guide. I grab mostly XVIDs and want to convert them (I'm now downloading 720p rips and I'll see how they convert to FLV)...I converted a 720p trailer to FLV and it's lovely!
[Touch HD General] panos123:
oh ok thanks.

I really have read up a bit more on the Wiki or other stickies cos I think I understood about two words of that second paragraph :D

I just wanna convert some free porn that's all..
[Touch HD General] -=Tavos=-:
If you want the perfect videos for the Touch HD, use this tool:

HTC Touch Video Converter

It has the optimal settings and is very easy to use.
[Touch HD General] Wiggz:
...and it also doesn't give me very good videos to play - I think perhaps it's my source vid?
[Touch HD General] -=Tavos=-:
I used the coverter for more than 100 files already (HDTV and SDTV) and all have very good quality. :D

One thing is important for playback:

You MUST use Windows Media Player or the HTC Album for playback !

Only these programs can utilize the hardware acceleration and you need it, because the converted files are close to the maximum the HD can play.

If you still don't get good results, I guess you are right and the source file isn't the best.

Maybe you try some other files to see where the problem is.

i just installed this on my fuze and have a few issues..

i currently have a stock rom and using "da mad scientists" manila theme. i turned off tf3d before i installed the cab then turned tf3d back on and more than just the font color changed..

i was using the hd contacts tab and now the icon to send a text message is missing from each contact and the internet bookmarks changed from the 3d "going away look" to the normal 2d list.

i then disabled tf3d, uninstalled this cab, soft reset,enabled tf3d and the font is still black and all the tabs are the same..

anyone have a guess how to fix this?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] shirreer:
Ok, if you like the TD2's speakerphone on flip stunt, then here's a cool tip for you...

Using Gyrator:

- Add a new "Rotation" event.

- Set application to Phone on the "Application" tab.

- On the "Orientation" tab check on "Portrait", "Face-down", and "Face-up".

- On the "Actions" tab check on "Simulate Keypress".

- Goto "Advanced" tab and select key "F16,127" which triggers the windows-native "Speakerphone Toggle event".

Done.

Now, starting NOT on speakerphone, whenever you put your phone on a level surface --facing up or down-- during a call, the speakerphone will toggle ON -> Moreover, if you pick it up it should toggle OFF. Good enough?

Cheers

P.S. You can also do the same for a "Stylus Out" event to fire when "Phone" application is focused, thereby simultaneously toggling on the speakerphone and starting up a new Note (default behaviour) whenever you take the stylus out during a call. Aren't we the lazziest lot..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mandragore:
That is a cool tip. Thanks for sharing!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Rones:
I can't get it to work! I have double checked all the steps but no speaker when I put down the phone..

The only thing I have my doubt about is the "Rotation" event. What do you mean with that?

(Rom: 2.03 NLD)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] shirreer:
Easy stuff man, here's how it goes:

Startup your Gyrator, tap on the soft key that says "Menu" and select Events -> A new window will pop up. Tap & Hold on the topmost item in the list, a menu will pop up -> Select "Add Event". A new entry -labled "New Rule"- will appear at the top of the list. Tap & Hold on the item labled "New Rule" until a menu pops up -> select "Orientation" <- that's how an "Orientation Event" or a stylus event is created, which is where you specify the commands you want executed whenever the device's orientation changes (yes, or the Stylus' status).

Now, Tap & Hold on the "New Rule" item -> select "Edit Event": A new window will pop up and will have a number of tabs at the bottom. Now, proceed forth per the first post and it should work fine for you...

Cheers mate!

speakerphone face down not detected

hey guys, i had some troubles getting my phone to perform this nifty (is that what we are calling it?) trick.

First, it wouldn't work. While messing around with gyrator, i began to suspect my g sensor wasn't calibrated properly, and a test in teeter confirmed this. So my phone can't detect face-down very well at all, in fact, i struggle to have gyrator tell me it is face-down no matter how i orientate it with my fingers.

So, if this sounds like you, go to the gyration threshold options, and change the z threshold to something slacker (mine is 65, works, haven't tried others). Now gyrator will have relaxed thresholds for what it considers face-down. Works seamlessly, thus far.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Doktor M@buse:
For all the guys where it does not work:

The entry for 'application' depends on your operating system language.

e.g. in german it has to be 'Telefon', not 'Phone'.

It is much more easy to let gyrator learn the windows title, to do so, do the following:

Remove your stylus

Set application to 'Learn window title'

Initiate a phone call. After the connection has been established, put the stylus back into your diamond. You will see, that gyrator has learned the window title of your phone application.

After that it just works fine.
