[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lord_BlackAdder:
The TouchPro 2 as it is today is perfect for me. When my Diamond contract expires next year I would jump on it. Of course, by then it could be TouchPro 3 so it is a moot point for me.

What I would love to see in TP3:

1. Thinner so that it is more pocket friendly

2. Better multimedia performance

3. Support for free-to-air mobile TV (DVB-T and DVB-H)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Poke_N_PDA:
This was hinted at by sarcasm, but I'll go ahead and say it. They never just don't use space. These things are damn tiny and it takes MAJOR work to get everything into the small package they have. That space you mention that should have been used for the screen is being used by several other things on the phone. There are only so many resources you can utilize with current technology. You want a bigger screen something has to give somewhere. Size, price, specs. They didn't just say "Eh, screw it. I'm too tired to make the screen bigger." They work their ass off. Thing is, this phone is probably largely based on what they thought everyone wanted 2 years ago since that's how long it's been in development. People want bigger screens now and are willing to sacrifice some device size since they are often thin. That will be reflected in future devices. Also, I think we'll see more buttons make a comeback as they thought people wanted less with the success of the iPhone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Link278:
lol ur right I didnt think of that... (the part about something else being under it) but the first thing I thought of was the fact that the touch pro 2 didnt have a space and the diamond 2 did but then again the touch pro 2 is bigger, but oh well i still would prefer the touch pro 2 because altho it is bigger it has a keyboard and a bigger screen
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pflatlyne:
I was thinking of waiting for the tp3 for the same reasons. But then I realized the tp4 would be out shortly after that,and I would just end up having hte best for phone for a few months. But then I realized that the tp5 would be out a little after that....

After thinking it all through,Ill just use my phone untill the tp45 comes out. If you work it all out its going to have a 100ghz quantum processor and wont even need a touch screen because it will communicate with telepathy.(The only problem is that it may overheat just a bit if you run it more than 20 or 30 seconds,and the battery life is expected to be about 3 seconds talk and 5 minutes standby)

Seriously though,there will always be something better out in six months. The real question most of the time is,how much better is whats coming out than what you have. Thats why I skipped the tp,even though it has a lot of features over my mogul that I really want. It just wasn't good enough. Now the tp2 is. The tp3 really isn't even on my radar yet,I'm not worrying about it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] galaxys:
don't wait, get the TP2 now! If & when the TP3 is available, then decide to upgrade...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Link278:
... yeah maybe thats not a bad idea but if other phones have significantly better specs when it comes out I might just wait untill teh upgrade of that comes out cause I want to sitck with HTC
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] marksweb:
Jesus Christ. the TP3?!?!

the TP2 isn't even out yet!?!!??? what is a TP3?

thats like saying shall i buy an xbox 360, or wait for the xbox 720 because it might have something better.

and 1ghz from a phone? what the hell are you planning to do with it?

The TP2 will be awesome, and it wont be 'underpowered'. Lets face it, this is a phone. you make telephone calls. send text messages. maybe browse a web site or two. This isn't going to be running top spec 3D games. at most pocket office! why do you need 1ghz!?!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
I honestly don't think I could have phrased it better myself.

Dave
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] marksweb:
I glad someone agrees. My words were fuelled by a few beers, but i couldn't help but put my point across immediately.

Also, something I failed to mention previously.

There was almost a year between the announcement of the TP and the TP2 and given you could get a 12 month contract TP2, you'd be available to upgrade, assuming a TP3 happens (and is on the same time scale), around the time of its launch.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thirtyisntdanu20:
lol..well said...it's not like i'm going to replace my laptop with my phone!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Tomo:
I took out my old universal and put a 6.1 ROM on it. With SPB Mobile shell 3 it's still very fast, much faster than the original operator ROM. I think previous comments are correct, it's the software that's the key
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wootty2000:
Lets just take a step back for a few minutes people.

A 3.2GHz P4 is not faster than a 2.6Ghz Core 2 Duo.

The clock speed is not the be all and end all.

I actually quite like the idea of CPUs not getting faster... Hear me out.

Years ago we had Sinclair Spectrums, Commodore 64s etc. These things had VERY limited CPU (1Mhz on the C64, 3.5Mhz on the Speccy 48K) and RAM (64Kb on the C64, 48K on the Speccy 48K) when compared to today's standards. Even with this little amount of RAM, I was able to use a word processor with open/save functions, a dictionary and thesaurus and even printer support. Ok the graphics were not a pretty as today's word processor applications but all in all they did their job.

As CPUs, RAM and NV storage got better, code got sloppier, the compiled binaries got bigger and were not optermised as well as they could have been. This has just got worse and worse as time has gone on.

Unfortunately, as CPUs have got faster, it has become acceptable (and not noticed by the end user) for software to require more resources and run slower.

I know that there is alot going on in the background and we have have more features and functions than ever before, but take a look how much disk space a fresh install of Windows takes...

If CPUs were to not evolve any further and we the public wanted things to get faster, code would eventually become more stream-lined and as a result we would see an improvement in speed

I know in the real world this is very unlikely to happen now, but its just another way of looking at it all... Just because the CPU of a new Mobile Phone is only 528Mhz it doesn't mean it cant out perform a previous (but less optimised) phone also running at 528MHz
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] whatledog:
How about checking this out:

http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=4580

If it's true, it may be worth waiting for... win7,...especially with the pico projector acc.:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] adawg120:
I am thinking of getting it when it comes out here as the Fortress as I love the screen, battery life, speakers, and the keyboard w/ the phonepad on the right. However, I will be moving up from a Tilt and I will really miss having the d-pad and scroll wheel as I use those all the time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Master_H:
totally agree! I will never buy a device without dpad and softkeys. That's for sure. ;-)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] T3ku:
We are talking about a phone here that might never come out.. Who knows if there will be a TP 3... No one !! sooo stop getting ur hopes up and be happy with what is coming out right now...after that we can start looking into the future... and start talking about those future phones !!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Brainio:
The thing is if you waited for the next big thing you would constantly be waiting as there is always something bigger or better around the corner. My advice would be to get the tp2 now, when the tp3 comes out sell the tp2 and get the tp3.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Tomo:
Looks a little chunky to me.

But the pico.....hmmm! anybody any experieince using it? -how is it with text?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] finisterre:
I'm waiting indefinitely until they bring back the scroll wheel and d-pad. Until then I'll stick with my 3 year old Hermes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nicelad_uk:
It's Awesome!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lyian:
I agree with wootty2000. Aside from most software entertainment coding, coding has gotten messy and bloated because its quick. And its not that the end user doesn't notice, they do. We do. It just when our computers cant run the software, we kick and scream and whatever about how it sucks, but eventually, then turn to our hardware and say "well, my computer is too slow now, time for an upgrade"

Chip manufacturers have gotten to the processor speed limit with current materials. Thats why now in 2 gig + range, they are concentrating on multi-core over faster clock speed.

Second, you guys have to consider something on a mobile processor. Not only does it use more power at full speed, but it also generates more heat. This above all else (from what i understand) is the Major limiting factor of desktop CPUS not getting any faster.. because the cooling methods are not enough to keep the cpu from over heating. The faster it goes, the hotter it gets.. Id rather not have a lava phone burning though my pocket or in my hands.

Third, you guys crying over the camera and D-pad, radio and what not. I understand it sucks for you, believe me i was bummed their was no 3.5 jack. But You all forget that this was designed as a

BUSINESS PHONE

. This is not made for gaming. It was not made to compete with the iPhone (the Touch HD was, i think more so than this was) IF you want a radio, or a better camera.. then get the HD maybe??? Im just saying that i dont think their will Ever be the end all be all phone that has every thing every single person wants in a phone. Heck im happy smart phones do as much as they Do! And even more happy they are starting to really use Touch Screen tech.

Anyway.. thats my two cents.

Hello everybody!

Can u help me please? I want to use my 4GB sandisk sdhc memory card with my xda orbit which now has artemis 3.01 full with sdhc. BUt it still shows 2gig. I've tried all sdhc files in forums but doesnt work. Maybe I do something wrong. Dont know. How can I fix this problem? Thanks
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] A&A:
Sorry, but which ROM are you using? (Most of the recent ROM's are already supporting sdhc WITHOUT the need of additional patches).

Hi,

I am in the uk and am with lloyds tsb. I have purchased open home from the android market. I have looked into my bank statement and i have been charged a £1 overseas charge. does anyone else have this and know of a way to get around it? (like putting some funds into my google checkout account?)

Chris
[G1 General] borodin1:
Were you charged by Google or by your bank?
[G1 General] Burko:
I get the same, its a bank charge levied by Lloyds to customers who dont have a "premium account" which you have to pay a monthly fee for.

Basically when working out what I'm paying for a market app I have to decide if it's worth £1 over and above the listed market price, not ideal.
[G1 General] wardy277:
Thats crazy, so its my bank. Why cant they do what paypal does. that never charges me. That really puts me off buying American apps.

Chris
[G1 General] CBowley:
Just move to america. Everyone else does.
[G1 General] Mr_dev:
Or open an account with a bank that doesn't take the piss out of you?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Muza:
Hi all,

My touchscreen stopped working a week ago, no new installations, no new changes. It just stopped responding to the clicks on the screen, in the middle of a phone call. Resetting did not help, Hardreset neigher... as I got stuck at the first time boot screen where the WM wants to calibrate the touchscreen and you have to click on the displayed marks. I bought it 7 month ago so I decided to RMA it. After flushing my data, i delivered it to a local 3 butik. Since I had no doubts about the competence of the tech guys at the service center I left the Dutty Rom installed, instead of reverting to the original 3 rom.

Today, after a 3 days repair estimate they sent me a repair offer for almost 700$ for just reinstalling the original ROM since they are absolutely sure this is where the problem lies (prolly they thought Dutty ROM was magically working for months, until the magic depleted?).

So they are sending me my Diamond back, so that I could reflash it with the original 3 and RMA it again..

Has anyone else experienced this "fun"?

I guess I'll stay away from 3 next time. (Good marketing, decent people, but really awful service)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] s.magus:
Same problem. Today returned from service. The screen has been changee. No warranty, it was 111 €.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Kemot320:
My touchscreen stopped working, soft reset didn't help. I didn't try hard reset, so maybe it's not the same, but when I removed the battery for the moment it started working. Try it
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Muza:
Thanks, i did try that as well, no luck. looks like there is a hardware problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Muza:
s.magus, what do you mean no warranty? isn't there a warranty from HTC? Which country did you buy the phone it, and when did you buy it?

unless there is an evidence of a physical misuse (broken screen or etc.) aren't they supposed to repair on their own expense!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] s.magus:
I have warranty, but the service does not repair it under warranty. They say, it is the users fault. Too much pressure on the screen.
