Get an iPhone. Duh! :p

On a serious note, it depends on whether you want to stay on the Windows Mobile platform or not, and whether you still want a physical keyboard or not. If you don't mind giving all touch-screen a try, then consider getting the Touch Pro HD (HTC Blackstone). I've heard great things about it, and it looks absolutely lovely. Otherwise, the only real upgrade path that I can think of is getting the Touch Pro 2 or similar.

It's really hard to upgrade when you're pretty much at the upper limit for smartphones. The Raphael is one of HTC's fastest devices, so keep that in mind.

My friend went from a Sprint Touch Pro (CDMA) to an Iphone 3G S 32GB... and he is a computer science grad student and a tech nerd... and he is blown away by the iphone. Yes Iphone OS is not like WM in functionality, but what the OS lacks, the apps make up for it. The Iphone is very stable, doesn't overheat (his doesn't), and is incredibly snappy. Plus its got a great screen, a built in ipod, etc. Just no insurance! =X And Apple control... :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Michael_514:
Hi guys!

First of all, allow me to clarify... I would 100% like to stay with a Windows Mobile phone, and second of all, I DEFINITELY need a slide out QWERTY keyboard.

And FYI.. I should have clarified... I am not a newbie! I have been hacking these phones and updating my ROMS for years now.

As I thought I mentioned, I have been flashing NATF's ROMS.

I started out with the CASIO BOSS in 1986, and as of late, I've had around six HTC phones, from the SX-66 to the 8125 to the 8525 to the FUZE, and so forth.

I don't know much about the iPhone 3GS, but I wrote a lengthy review of the 3G, and it just didn't suit my needs.

And like it or not, the FUZE is sluggish on my levels, even with the best ROMS. I don't think it's TERRIBLE, not at all, but let's face it... It's more like the feeling I get working off my modest Tablet PC on battery, than off my 4 monitored desktop's Quad Core Q9450 64Bit CPU, with 8 GB of RAM and 4TB on the hard drive.

There is just that little bit of 2008/2009 sluggishness that is making me a little eager and power hungry for a mind-blowing 2009/2010 device.

So, yeah, all this to say, I am not looking for an iPhone(!)

I am looking for a kick-ass Windows Mobile device that is the "next generation". The 8525 was an excellent jump from the 8125, which was an excellent jump from the SX66.

I am just looking for an equivalent jump, even if it's not made by HTC.

The FUZE/Touch Pro was THE must-have phone for all Hermes users.

I just needed a little guidance for the next one.

I am still looking for your suggestions! Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bugsykoosh:
The TP2 has the best keyboard I've ever used on a phone. I've had the 8525, Tilt and Touch Pro (and a few others along the way). In fact, if I spend a few more days with it I may be faster with it than a desktop...it's really that good. As for performance, the AT&T version is excepted to come with 6.5 and 6.5 does run a lot better than 6.1 does in terms of speed but it's also a lot smoother overall and easier to use. It's probably 45 days off though if the rumors are right. The screen (a huge WVGA) feels a lot more sensitive. As far as speed, it is the same chipset and I've used both a Touch HD and a TP2 and it does feel faster but I think it's partially due to a mroe sensitive screen and people confuse that with the response time because the taps are easier to register. using TF3D you get your occasional hiccup. For my 2 cents I think when 6.5 comes out TF3D may not be as necessary but it's a personal preference. I hope TF3D 2.5 runs lighter since as a program it is pretty heavy in v2.1. All of this plays into 'speed'. In short though, the TP2 does feel like a pretty big upgrade over the TP(1). Again,t he screen size lets you see so much more that it simply puts it into another class. You can easily one hand emails with the onscreen keyboard and that works great for short responses but for large emails just open the keyboard and you feel like you have a minicomputer.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] imugli:
I've just purchased a TP2 to replace my TP1.

Same familiar WinMo, same massive repoistory of software, bigger screen, better keyboard. And it's not a piece of fruit :-)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Michael_514:
Thanks guys!

Very interesting praise for the TP2.

I had no idea the AT&T version was just around the corner. Good news.

bugsy, that is quite the glowing review. I was quite surprised to hear it had the same processor as the TP. I was hoping for a little boost!

Thanks again!

I know it's a little late, but have you considered symbian?

Nokia's got some really cool smart phones. The N97's bad ass!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] NuShrike:
Acer m900 until the USA compatible Omnia Pro shows up. Everything on the Acer is snappier than the Touch Pro, and probably what the older Wizard was like. Glad to be off the candy toy-phone the HTC made the Touch Pro into. Couldn't even do handwriting, nor using the VGA proper on a screen of that tiny size and the Qualcomm lag...

Both (m900, OmniaPro) still half as fast as the iPhone 3GS, but waiting for the 3GS to gain either cheap unlocked, or Palm Pre to go GSM. Nokia is still in some ditch thinking crap cpus can get them far.

Is it possible to make the calendar on the Manila2D home screen show more than one upcoming event? I've tried disabling some of the other things but it doesn't auto-expand the calendar, it just leaves blank space.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Luca_Dream:
Hi I'm really sorry if this is in the wrong section or if I did something wrong when posting this. But I have a G1 and when running hero roms its a known issue that we don't get all sms or mms, so I was wondering (just got my mytouch today and already rooted and all that jazz) when you people with the Mytouch3g from tmobile do you get all your sms and mms when running hero roms?

Thank you to those that make all this possible =)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tq745:
i didn't get all my sms or mms. also bt doesn't work which is why i switched back to cyanogen until this issue is fixed. however they say if you change your priority settings to high that you SHOULD get mostly all your messages.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Luca_Dream:
=O

Well I don't use bluetooth often enough to NEED it so I'm fine with that, but the message thing is my biggest fear. thanks for your response though =] I'm just gonna stick with cyanogen until hero roms are more "usable"
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] emandt:
From when I've installed WM 6.5 (all cooked ROMs) I've got a problem reading SMS.

To read an SMS I do following actions:

- enter SMS List

- select a sender from SMS List (Threaded active)

- read the message

- return to SMS List

and many times the Experia froozen itself for 5/7 minutes when I do last point...

From TaskManager I've got running just this programs/services:

---------------------------------

filesys.exe 24MB

gwes.exe 8MB

shell32.exe 7MB

device.exe 5MB

Biotouch.exe 5MB

services.exe 3MB

cprog.exe 1MB

connmgr.exe 300Kb

NK.EXE 16Kb

I've tested all WM 6.5 ROMs in this forum. Currently I've installed "WM 6.5 Jack Lite": just Windows without any program or customization. Windows is 5.2.23025 (Build 23016.5.3.0).

I've got 8000 SMS managed in Threaded View (in SMS List). Can be this? Original ROM (WM 6.1) don't have any problem to manage 8000 SMS in Threaded View....

Someone have a trick or can confirm this specified problem?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] newstar:
8000 sms

woooow
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] emandt:
yeah, 8000 SMS but I think WM 6.5 can freeze either at 500 or less...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] _craven_:
I only gets around 200 sms in 1 threaded sms .. the WM 6.5 also froze on me too :(

I'm using Valkyrie FS 3.0 (not the LEO)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] emandt:
its seems to be a WM6.5 problem, not depending from the ROM you still using.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] emandt:
WM 6.5 build 23071 seems to have fixed this problem.

I've passed directly to 23071 from 23016 so I'm not able to say if some release beteween those two has same problem as 23016.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] blondyz:
Well, I've got someting like this aswell, but not really freezing.

When I'm about so write an sms I go to the sms list, pich my contact and the list opens up (threaded) but from the point where this list pops up it takes a really long time before I can even start typing, I think it's loading the sms-list still. Have about 100~ sms with this contact where I get the issue.

Still I want to keep the messages since I need them later on, and I use the Leo sms client (latest).

Does anyone know how to fix this, or make the messages store someplace else so the client just loads like the past 3 messages?

Thanks in advance, Anton.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Fugatto:
Hi,

I´m also having big trouble with the sms function.

I think (I might be wrong) that the problem is LEO. I used PIM restore to import my old sms and it simply doesn´t import it right in the database.

if I enter the sms program via HTC Sence (pressing an sms), it actually works, but it loads all sms from the contact everytime, which means it takes forever if it is a frequent sms conversation.

If I enter the sms program via titanium, it either doesn´t show the messages, or it sorts the messages by name/contact rather than by time, which means all messages from "me" ends up either first or last in the thread.

However, the valkyrie firestorm ROM works with pim (at least for me) after a second reset. Flash it, do the regional settings etc, do pim restore and then soft reset.

I haven´t tried myphone backup.

fugatto
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] emandt:
@Fugatto: to restore with PIMBackup you need thoose actions:

1) disable ThreadedSMS with appropriate Registry Key or some program (need reboot)

2) restore PIMBackup file

3) after imported all SMS you can re-active ThreadedSMS (need reboot)

4) open SMS List and wait SMS be ordered by contact (for 10.000 SMS I need to wait 4-5 hours)

I cant download from Mediafire in my country

use chrome or firefox with idm5.17

SPB Mobile shell & wm6.5.1

Hi, there is a simply trick in registry, that will solve the issue. It´s not WM 6.5.1 problem, but conflict with new Showcase Suite... I´ve already did it and it works...

So to use with spbMS3, you need to REMOVE "Manila" from SUITE_PositionFix_WinClasses in order not to have the windows taskbar overlay spbMS3 shell.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\e-Natives Technology\Showcase]

My "SUITE_PositionFix_WinClasses" = "RESCO_EXPLORER_CLASS;RESCO_REGISTRY_CLASS"

Music lag while device is in sleep:

this is because i set cpu to 19MHz while it is in sleep to save battery to change that

go to start->settings->processor, go to edit profiles, choose power savings...and there you will see sleep frequency,change it to 192MHz!

I want to set any ringotne for incoming call/sms/mms..

Copy your_ring.wma to \windows\ringtones and select it from settings :D

Cant unlcok my device:

If you cant unlock device just slide with finger somwhere in bottom of the screen and than normally slide to unlock, or press vol up/down and unlock, storng password ha ;)

When you enable the password - make sure you set the "promt if unused for" to 12 or 24 hours. Then go to Smart lock and check WM6.5 new lock and Suspend lock.

Full Rom

Hi Benko...

Tried your Prime 2.0

But Still I would prefer you to have FullRom 2.0. :)

As I've installed Tachi Phone Canvas and Total Commander, and both show some distortion. Mainly due to the bigger bottom softkey bar. (See attached images)

Sorry i couldnt try out the A2DP as my bluetooth is acting up yet again. But saw some posts saying it works. :)

Hopefully my feedback will help u with the FULL Rom... ;)

And yah, if only the bottom bar can be Black instead of grey as black will blend better with the Manila and 6.5 background. If it's possible that is.

Maybe you can tell us the ETA for your Full Rom? I'm breathless with anticipation... hehe
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] benko286:

Hi,

I tried your clean 2.0. Quite nice except for 3 problems with programs I often use:

1) AppTodate gives me a System.Xml xml-parse-exception on startup

2) BeejiveIM, my favorite ICQ client gives some System.NET exception

Both issues seem to be related to a missing/wrong/incomplete dot.net framework installation. What Version is included in the rom?

3) The title-bar doesn't work (showcase is fine, but I cannot tap to get the comm-manager especially...

any ideas how to solve these issues?

about commmanager use right down x to close it..

Hi,

don't know about your 1.5 version, hadn't testet it.

After a reset, the top-icon-bar is working when I'm on the start-screen. don't know why it didn't work during my first tries. The net.cf issues remained :-(

Hi Benko,

I'm expericing frequent crashes with Touchflo (the contacts tab is disabled). I don't mind the crashes because touchflo is able to restart (and I have tried so many ROMs before, your ROM is great man!!!). What is problematic is the freezes. I tracked down problem to media player (windows and touchflo). While playing a media file when I make the gesture for next song, the device freezes. Strangely, the same thing happened also in windows media player. The device froze soft reset touchflo didn't start. After several soft resets, I gave up on touchflo and disabled it. Then I launched windows media player, stupidly I tired if the next song gesture works in WMP; the device froze. A softrest and touchflo started to work??? Are you aware of such strange behavior? Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

Also, the device is too loud now (yeah yeah I'm a metal head :D). Even when I set it %20 percent it is too loud. Is there any setting where can reduce this loudness :).

Thanks again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] littld:
I got the Tap here to start touchflo - couldn't get touchflo to start at all even after soft-reset (using 2 prime).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bulletproof_78:
Just a heads up...

Gen.Y Manila 2.1 R1.5 is out... maybe you can use it for Full Rom 2.0 (if its not too late that is)

Anyways some feedback on Prime 2.0:

- A2DP works fine (Thank You!!!! :)) ... BUT... when the screen goes off while listening to some bluetooth music thru AudioManager, the music will stutter and goes to a complete stop. It's pretty weird as on other ROMs (eg. NRG) it was ok and playing continuously even after Screen is off... If it's just a minor tweak, please do tell me how.. :)

- guess it's just 1 feedback that I could get you... It's that good man... ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] krups:
Hello!

It seems you are facing issue due to bad WMP library cache. Try deleting "MSMETADATA" from your internal storage and then updating library from WMP. I think this will work and you won't get freeze from WMP.

Hope this help!

Internet explorer Mobile

Hi Benko,

I installed your 5.8 clean titanium version. And I must say that it runs good.

Unfortunately not the newest ie explorer is included. I used it already on a nrg rom and I liked it very much and consumes much less memory than opera.

I switched to this ROM because it is the newest and lightest there is...

Is it possible to include/install the newest ie explorer?

Hope so...
