I'm having serious contemplations about picking up a TP2 and flashing it over to 6.5 with the Leo Sense UI ROM. With that beautiful keyboard, it almost seems too good to pass up. I can keep the Imagio sidelined for a while until the community grows and we start seeing real customization happen for this device. What do you guys think? Honestly, money isn't an issue and my phone is literally the most important thing I touch all day (aside from my girl, man if she saw this haha) so "wasting" the money isn't something I'm concerned with.

I'd be very happy using the flashed TP2 for several months or longer until the Imagio community picks up, then I can always switch back and Ebay the TP2.

It seems like the Imagio launched with very little push from Verizon; a lot of stores by me don't even carry the device in the store, and I pretended not to own the device and ask about it and they seem to have been told to downplay the Imagio in favor of the Droid. Leaves me scratching my head a bit, but oh well. Honestly I love the Imagio, but the lack of customization and the seemingly small amount of people that have one right now are shying me away over to the TP2. I have too many issues with the stock ROM including the memory issues and apparent GPS problem (it's like using QuickGPS is a necessity and that the GPS won't work without it, very annoying).

Any comments guys? I'm sitting on the Verizon site wondering if pushing the purchase button laying before me on the TP2 will be worth it. That Leo ROM looks too promising >_>.
[Imagio General] Americanmetal:
Ive been having the thought of trading my Imagio for a TP2 or even a Droid cross my mind several of times the past week.

7 More days till I can trade it for anything.

Fairly certain I'm going to keep it as I find it's styling is much better than the TP2's, definitely better than the Droid's, and I like it's thickness.
[Imagio General] randcool:
I have had it over a month now and really like it.There are issues but nothing that will be a deal breaker.I thought about the droid but didnt want to re invent the wheel.I don't regret buying the phone.Having internet email at the touch of a button is very cool.I am happy with my decision
[Imagio General] untitled_one:
I guess it depends on what you want to do. I'm not particularly interested in cooked roms (for now) so I don't mind the absence. I've been able to customize with tweaks so that the things that bugged me are either gone or invisible. And I find it phenomenally useful for work.
[Imagio General] bastukee:
I love this phone!!!

I like that it is not main stream, since I can still use most of the TP2 hacks and make it do all I like, I find my self with a very unique phone that does all and more than I wanted or needed and still look gorgeous. My battery issues are a thing of the past after tweaking the memory some and it is very reliable.

Many use Iphones/Droid and when I pop out my HTC Imagio people still jawdrop off how nice it looks, as americanmetal says, it is thick and feels strong yet perfect size.
[Imagio General] y0himba:
Only thing I miss is a hardware keyboard, but this makes up for it nice enough. Other than that, I love my Imagio. I have no idea why it doesn't seem to be popular at all.
[Imagio General] untitled_one:
Part of it could be that "Windows Phone" sparks excitement in no one at all. What a terrible marketing campaign.
[Imagio General] Sweeny Russ:
Dido, Exactly. Unfortunately, it released in a time when Moto droid commercials where running ramped, the imagio was doomed from the start. Not to mention my fiance and I were exchanging our droid for a new one and the whole store is set up around android. They have a booth with bright colors with the droid and droid eris. It took me searching through the entire store to even find the imagio it was put next to the freakin casio exilim. The only people who buy it are the ones who actually know enough about mobile devices to know that as of right now the imagio is the most functional device in the store. I am finally starting to see imagio ads on sides of websites but honestly it is a bust on the imagio. I think once sprint gets their diamond2, which actually is a whitestone, not a topaz, we'll have more support. Sprint I hope will promote the device, I'm not looking for droid or iphone type bandwagoning, but enough to entice those moderately tech savy.

But let's face it both the imagio and moto droid phones are out of date currently due to the upcoming passion and hd2 so sprint needs to hurry and mobilize the cdma diamond 2. Of course when you buy anything it is immediately out of date. The imagio has a much better chance of staying as current as possible due to flashing than the moto droid, which you can flash new roms, however, there is a limit to what you actually can acheive. this is one of win mo's strong points.
[Imagio General] fwaits:
Yeah the fact is, the Imagio is on 1 carrier worldwide and has only been out like 6 weeks. Other devices like the TP2, have been out in other countries, and on more carriers both GSM and CDMA so the support/demand is higher there. It will come, but it will be slower with less overall demand by the userbase.
[Imagio General] yatman60:
Droid - No Exchange

I have a friend who just did the opposite and traded in his Droid for the Imagio. The lack of corporate Exchange support was a MAJOR factor in his trade. I traded in my TP2 for an Imagio myself and I'm very happy with it.

Now someone please get the new Sense UI working on this thing!!
[Imagio General] SaosinEngaged:
Yeah, honestly if I could be using the new Sense UI on my Imagio I'd be much happier.

I don't get why HTC went with WM 6.5, but didn't throw Sense UI on there as well. It seems stupid.
[Imagio General] DrHankZ:
It's all ABOUT the MONEY.

Moto is trying to BUY their way back into the Cell Phone Market

that they lost. Moto is buying TV ads to get back in the game and

who is Moto Promoting - Verizon. If you had a Company Paying for

your Advertising - which product would you push onto Customers.
[Imagio General] Sweeny Russ:
I just thought it was funny that the add on the top of this page right now is for Windows Phone and it has the tiniest pic of the imagio. You really can't tell what it is even unless you are familiar with it.
[Imagio General] Hormazdd:
My only issue with the Imagio is that it lags, when browsing and moving from app to app. The Exchange support on the Droid is just plain half ass'd. You cannot accept appointments and move emails or see your nested folder stucture. Exchange integration is primary for me so WinMo wins despite its shortcomings. Unfortunately, WinMo has a bad wrap and then forum posters all over just want to follow the crowd.
[Imagio General] allnetman:
It should be.........

I've had my Imagio about 2 weeks now and I think it's a fantastic device. Although issues have been posted on this site, most appear to be solvable as the product matures. My biggest issue has been that the phone has no "hold" button.
[Imagio General] cbreze:
I'm trialing an imagio for 30 days. Coming from the tp2 which I love I thought it was a no brainer to have basically the same device in a more lightweight package, sans hard kb. I still like to whip out the stylus tho and find it's location on the left side cumbersome. I'm right handed. I am missing my hardware kb also, but hope to get used to not having it in some more days time. I hate getting finger grease/smudges on my beautiful device, So dealing with that. I may find I'm just a hardware keyboard kinda guy. Keeping the tp2 so no worries going back. Was going to try a droid, but I have so many wm apps that would go to waste,I hate to do that. I'm on the fence, love the lesser weight and good looks, but , but, but.......gotta keep going with this trial.

Side note: I'm dealing with the imagio's seemed memory issues and apps like opera not loading fully because of lo mem issues. When I look at my free ram I see an ample amount so I think this a bug. I've heard rumors of a patch that fixes this from htc, nothing solid, but if it becomes a pita then it will go back and tp2 will again reign supreme.
[Imagio General] Americanmetal:
I see more Imagio commercials than Droid commercials now :rolleyes:

The Forgotten Phone

This is really strange, I know in the on going battle between form and function everyone on this site will always pick form, but lets face it, the iphone is sexy

HTC finally makes a phone with the function of the glorious HTC touch pro 2 and the sexiness of the iphone and its a flop. I mean I really enjoy this phone ( I even signed up for the Vcast TV... Lame I know :-)

It has real open platform availability (not like the iphone or even the droid )

There are tons of reviews about who's browser is better the iphone or the droid, I current have 3!!! browers on my phone ( I just pick which one I like better at the time ) (internet explorer mobile does better at mobile websites then opera or skyfire ). My friends at work were wondering whens flash going to be added to the iphone or droid, so I showed them sky fire

5 Megapixal Camera (eat your heart out TP2, and Iphone )

Real (not hacked ) Tethering (sorry Iphone, Droid)

Real FULLY functional exchange support, which some of us NEED!!!!!

ability to run simultaneous apps ( sorry iphone ) ability to EASILY close and running apps (sorry droid, 5 clicks to close an app is way too much)

Yeah I know the droid as the google maps navigation, which is buggy, but it is kool. But its windows mobile, you can purchase your own nav software or download ( from a site that rhymes with ppcTorez ) the windows mobile version of google navigation.

Free and functional Microsoft Office!!!!!! *sorry iphone and droid

I should give a shot out to the TP2 for having an awesome keyboard, but when I'm watching comedy central on the highway ( not driving of course) while shooting 5 megapixal shots, while the girl in the next car is starring at my oh so sexy phone. I dont feel so bad

Although it does bug me to have to explain to folks all the time its not an Iphone or a blackberry storm!!! Jesus christ Microsoft can we freakin get just one commerical!!

But as much as I love this phone, and I regret sending in the rebate form ( now I cant exchange the phone ) this lack of support from the gods of windows mobile ( in this forum as well as the great guys at ppcgeeks ) means less cool customizations except for the ones we can mooch off the TP2 threads

PS Hey guys, this new Samsung Omnia 2 that just came out, any thoughts

it has a bigger screen

faster processor

a flash

I feel like those samsung guys went straight after this phone
[Imagio General] frankenbike:
I like my Imagio. When I went to the standard Windows Phone interface instead of HTC's, my memory issues disappeared. I always have 40-50% of my memory available.

I probably would have gone to the Omnio II if it had been available within my 30 days, just for the faster speed and flash. And the issue of faster speed for me is how fast it rotates when I turn the phone to landscape. Oh well. Otherwise, I'm happy enough.

To me, google nav has the same problem google maps has: you don't always have a 3G signal even with Verizon, and relying on downloading maps as you're moving is...not reliable. I use Garmin XT for nav. Try using Google Nav while you're in the mountains!

Heck, I even got my Imagio Garmin nav to work while I was flying to Philly (in airplane mode no less). Funny seeing that speed indicator at 520mph over Toledo :) (I was trying to figure out where we were).

Like others, I've certainly impressed some iPhone users with live video via Justin.tv on Skyfire, and they had to gather around my little phone on its funky pop-out stand like everyone else.

3 weeks now

I love mine , heavy MS exchange user and it works great . would like to get my tomtom working or at least a really good 3d gps. i put swipe and finger keyboard on it and love the swipe keying. find new apps every day. it really is the phone that gets me. :)
[Imagio General] virtualtrevor:
where to get swype for imagio

sounds cool, where do I get it? Anyone make a cab for the Imagio?

Thanks
[Imagio General] gilbenl:
I waited to buy my Imagio until the 27th of November to be sure to have the chance to exchange for the O2. After going to the store and playing with it a number of times, IMHO it is an inferior device as-is. There is a lot of power in there, but TouchWiz just isn't even close to being as intuitive as TF3D. In fact, it can be down right more difficult than the standard Winmo GUI. Also, I find it to be downright gaudy. Samsung should have removed all the shiney plastic crap, slimmed it down, and then we may be talking. That being said, what's going to matter is when the ROMs come out for the phones.

PS: I notice someone above said the Imagio has twice the memory of the O2. Just to clarify, the O2 has 256MB RAM and the Imagio has 288MB RAM. The Imagio has 512 MB ROM but I was unable to find any data on the O2. I would suspect it to be the same though.
[Imagio General] ncvajja:
Imagio Rocks.....

As to why it isnt popular....first people cant stop bleeding over their iphones making more people buy them...and verizons marketing of this phone has not been great. If it werent an HTC I wouldnt even have heard of it and gone with TP2....

Only regret is that I cant afford a HD2. Flashed ROM and all initial issues cleared.....
[Imagio General] jerrya:
Ive only had mine for less then a week, and already have added Tcruz's megacab to add alot of color, regedit so it would landscape in all screens, added performance boosters, removed the TV icon, and the biggest one I added was Swype! that is the best thing I added to this bad boy. I knew from the reviews, this site, PPCGeeks and several other places that this was the phone for me. It is the main reason the wife and I stayed with Verizon. Its versatility, ease of use, and just the overall performace tells me I made the right choice!

And for those who are on the fence becouse of the lack of a hard keyboard, I came from a Voyager and used the keyboard excusilvely for everything, I won't be doing that ever again with Swype, this thing is just wicked cool, smart, and fast. Give it a shot before discounting this phone just becouse of that. it took me less than a day to get the hang of it.

And I will continue to find ways to make my Imagio better than before. I call it my Bionic Phone!
[Imagio General] rupro:
exchange etc

I was thinking of droid, but apparently it has very poor support of exchange. At least for me the latter is most important and it works so well that I almost don't use desktop PC anymore for my e-mail.

As for GSM etc, imagio does come with a SIM card and supports GSM (cost is another issue, but texting is a good way to go abroad). If you want to keep your US number, no cheap alternatives exist. Besides, on imagio, you can wi-fi with skype abroad and pay almost nothing.

I need help in finding an application I use to have.

I have an HTC Wizard w/wm5.

The app lets you use the keyboard on the computer to type messages on your wizard.

Any help?

Thanks in advance....

randy-
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] nandobang:
You mean 'using a PC keyboard directly on the Wizard' or 'sending messages using the Wizard through the PC' ?

For the first, you should look for Bluetooth keyboards.

For the second, check this. It enables you to type in PC directly on Wizard's screen, like a SIP.

Cheers

Hi guys! I'm sorting out my home network here and trying to make my HD a part of it. Everything's gonna be pretty simple: one wireless router + two laptops + xbox360 + my HD. The problem is I'm really inexperienced with all the networking stuff and getting the Internet access is pretty much everything I've been able to do so far. Stuff like file sharing and video streaming is what I'm after. I would really appreciate any help on this! Thanks! :)

[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] ibmcom:
hi, all,

I have downloaded a ROM of version 6.5 23506 ROM from xda, and a Iolite_RK tool too, but when i decompressed the rom, it only includes a sys folder and in this folder, no any other sub-folders except a .ROM is found. while some instructions say a .VM folder and a OEM folder should be included.

how to do it?
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] serfer222:
this depends on your base ROM.

you cannot get files sorted by packages if there are no dsm files in your ROM. almost all custom ROMs have no dsm files included.

try to decompress original official htc ROM and you will see how it works.

you can start htc update installer and it will create .nbh file in your temp folder. copy this file and play with it.

=)
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] torrentonly:
ibmcom: Cooking custom ROM is not as easy as you think. There are plenty of tutorials here on xda forums. Read them and you will understand, how it works.
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] ibmcom:
thks.

to serfer222:

where can i find the "htc update installer" files/program?

to torrentonly:

i have seen the dificulty. i have read some tutorials in Chinese forums, and i found lots of resoureces come from xda, so i also downloaded one wwe rom as the base kitchen.

how did you start from the first one? a official rom?
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] serfer222:
search the forum. it's in the next thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=522934

I mean any official installer works fine.
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] torrentonly:
ibmcom: Official ROM is a must, because you need to have all base essential files, like drivers, etc. to match your device. Extract some official ROM using some visual kitchen (I am using one from ervius). After that, just try to cook it without any changes and flash your device (after HardSPL of course). If all will goes without problems, you can try to change some EXT packages and so on. The last step and most difficult (well not really, because developed tools make all much easier) is porting of XIP.

If you will succeed with all of this, you can play much more with you ROM, like deleting and editing some files from OEM and SYS. Good luck!

ok so tonight i looked at my tp2 and i saw it was connected to 3g (no surprise for me) and right next to that it said HSDPA (no H symbol) a few nights ago i saw dl speeds of 900-1.53 and ul of 500-900

heres a screen shot of what it looked like maybe you can post yours 2 hopefully its not a false alarm. im currently in Sacramento CA

if anyone else can confirm this or post screen shots that would be awesome

:D :D :D

u can just change the name of the connection.... nice try..

I would of heard of a network upgrade to HSDPA.. i work at T-Mobile... not sales..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] q426669:
T-Mobile has 3.5G in some major cities. And yes it will register as HSPA. I'm currently connected to HSPA in Chicago. And no, it's not just a name change, or a ROM setting. I can sit here and watch it change from H to 3g to Edge, and when I go to the basement, GPRS.

You obviously don't read all the correct info if you're working for t-mobile...

T-Mobile has plans to upgrade from 7.2 to 21 in 2010, so obviously they want to start testing their towers for coverage and signal.

There was a report on it by Engadget, and probably a couple other tech blogs as well.
