I take the Rhodium anytime. I'd rather wait for the new Touch Pro.
[General Topics] ionut.micu:
I give my vote to the Rhodium.

When my Raphael brake down (a bath in Sprite) i was able to choice between HD2 and Rhodium, I was able to test HD2 which move allot more faster and it's cheaper (in my country) and the rhodium who has the almost "orgasmic" keyboard, my choice was Rhodium and I love this phone.
[General Topics] ATLDON:
I have both devices.......

Both are excellent PDAs........

HD2's advantage: SPEED.....very little lag. Having owned several WM devices I never had a device faster

Rhodium's advantage: Keyboard. If you been using PDAs with keyboard, it will take some time to get used to the HD2

Overall I have to pick the HD2.......
[General Topics] friend'scatdied:
HD2 for the capacitive screen. Resistive screens are lame. I thought resistive screens were pretty cool when they were the only ones I had (XPERIA X1), but as soon as I tried a capacitive there was no going back.

Personally for me I type (barely) faster on Swype than I could on the Rhodium's keyboard, so I'd never take it with that extra bulk. Did I mention the resistive screen?

Psst.. in the stickies the Leo did edge out the Rhodium for HTC device of 2009. :p
[General Topics] Zd0s:
if you haven't voted yet think about the price the rhodium is so much cheaper about 100 pounds

[General Topics] starmena:
I had no idea HD2 has a capacitive screen! I guess I'm a little behind on that. My vote went to the Rhodium, mostly because of the keyboard and maybe some other little features.

I'm definitely considering trying out the HD2. Ithink I'll wait for more 1Ghz Snapdragon Phones to come out later on this year or early next year instead of switching to the HD2. I'm also hoping by that time the Android development for Rhodium will be at least close to fully operational.
[General Topics] galaxys:
In this day & age (21st century) you need to have 1Ghz Snapdragon or greater cpu!
[General Topics] Zd0s:
not completely agreeing because most people get on fine without one.

but....

quite handy to have a good processor!
[General Topics] orb3000:
Agree

I prefer a real keyboard over a faster processor:cool:

Although won´t mind to have a real keyboard with 1Ghz:rolleyes:;)
[General Topics] Zd0s:
i completely agree with that
[General Topics] marduk79:
ditto here. my wife has the hd2 and I the tp2 and i can only see myself with the hd2 if the tp2 had never existed. while the hd2 is faster with a larger screen, my tp2 has enough power and speed to do what i need it to do day in and day out. the only thing that made me a bit jealous was the hd's home screen and additional tabs on sense and i fixed that issue with leo evo cell's 9.1 rom. thank goodness for xda-developers!!!
[General Topics] MooGoo:
Bigger screen but same resolution. And of course no keyboard. 1ghz is nice but I've been running WinMo 6.1 on my Rhodium and it is very snappy. Half the power of the HD2 is probably wasted on annoying over the top weather animations.

I see no reason to downgrade my typing experience. The HD2's screen size might make for bigger buttons but in the end you are still tapping on a flat piece of glass. I've tried the iPad's soft keyboard which has buttons that are bigger than most desktop keyboards and it still sucks. Finger slips one centimeter and the wrong key is pressed and there is no way to sense where your fingers are landing without looking.

With the Rhodium I can slide out the keyboard, flip up the screen, put the phone on my desk and use it like a mini-computer. This also provides incredibly convenient access to phone functionality. And half the screen is not obscured every time I want to enter text.

There is no substitute; hopefully the next Touch Pro will retain the tilt feature unlike the original one.
[General Topics] friend'scatdied:
I agree that the 1GHz is actually not that big of a deal. WinMo still slows down even the almighty HD2 to a crawl at times -- it's unavoidable. It's also true that the 576MB of RAM in the HD2 is actually way more than almost any user will ever need on the phone, ever. The HD2, spec-wise, is overkill for a phone. I think it's ahead of its time actually; it's an achievement that HTC came out with such a tragically overpowered phone.

That said, I wouldn't have minded getting the Rhodium had it not been for the stupid dumb resistive screen. Scratch-prone, possible durability issues in the future, wavy in angled light.. ugh. What a misstep! I value a capacitive screen more than the best mobile handset keyboard in the world.
[General Topics] sirphunkee:
All very true, although I would venture it's more accurate to say "Sense still slows down even the almighty HD2..." Even though winmo still has it's own issues, running this phone without Sense sidesteps most every single issue that causes these slowdowns and lockups.

What's truly sad is that a few coding issues can eliminate so much of the benefit of getting such robust and powerful hardware :rolleyes:
[General Topics] friend'scatdied:
I'm actually running naked Titanium WinMo right now and I completely agree. I wouldn't be surprised if the Rhodium is super-snappy with Titanium. Bonestock 6.5.X isn't bad at all.
[General Topics] Zd0s:
i'm was thinking about saving up for the rhodium...

now I'm definitely saving up for it! :D
[General Topics] sirphunkee:
That's absolutely correct, Titanium and even SPB Mobile Shell let the Rhodium run extremely smooth and fast, especially compared to how it is with Sense turned on.

@Zac: when you do get your Rhodium, feel free to PM me if you have any questions about getting it setup and all that, and that section of the forums is full of tons of good tips and cabs and all that.
[General Topics] Zd0s:
thanks will do if i need it! ;)
[General Topics] Samich2007:
Not populair? It was the most populair device on the XDA forums a few years ago. But its becoming a bit old. What HTC needs to do is making a TP3. Exact the same as TP2 (but better and bigger screen), but with an Keyboard and maby android. That would be my dream phone :)
[General Topics] Zd0s:
same but i would add a 1.5 ghz processor!
[General Topics] demandarin:
i'll go with Rhodium for now. Because i own a Tilt 2. I love it. Everyone be complaining that it lags and blah blah. Juss give it a lil TLC and itll be speedy in no time. Especially if u a member of this forum. I joined in April of this year, and my phone did a complete 360 degrees from when i got it stock. I have virtually no lag on my stock rom. Of course with a lot of serious tweaks from up here. Even 3d drivers.

Anyways i like the hd2. But it sux that it only runs on EDGE network. the slowest of the bunch. Why u gonna have such a high end phone run on the most basic of networks..lmao I love the look of it. Really sleek lookn. I dont think people giving yall device enough credit. Wasnt that the first device with the snapdragon or was it the nexus one? as far as phones/PPC go.

The one thing that kills me is the constant flow of newer better devices coming out all the time. Its great but no so good if u always trying to stay wit the latest in technology out..lol unless ur rich as hell or something. Its all good though. Cant keep up with the Jones..lol
[General Topics] demandarin:
and then by tomorrow the new Omega Supreme/Cybertron/Transforming Processor comes out and makes the snapdragon processor absolete. lmfao :eek: you know how it is. I cant lie though, I want snapdragon and it will come in the form of the new Dell Streak 5in Capacitive touch screen , fully fledged tablet PC coming out later this summer for At@T. in its also a phone with full 3g capabilities , as a matter of fact, it can work on any network. :p that beats out anything out on the market now and anything coming anytime soon thats a tablet pc and a phone.
[General Topics] alexn2:
I passed on the HD when I purchased my Rodium almost a year ago because I had always stuck with the keyboard devices, then when water got into my Rhodium and I could not find a replacement skin after three months and back to my Experia and Touch Dual for backup, I purchased the HD2... The HD2 is unbelievable. Lightening fast response.

The camera is amazing with auto zoom and flash. HTC got rid of the stylus and every other second I went to pull out a stylus and there was nothing there, so no keyboard no stylus. How was Ito cope? I cqan assure you that I am coping splendidly. The keys are large enough that even without Swype I can type on the screen with both hands.

Applications load up in an instant and switching is instantaneous.... HTC has come a long way from my first 8525 and I certainly aint missing the keyboard...... which by the way is still lying around somewhere.....

So my vote goes for the HD2 until of course HTC tops itself....
[General Topics] Zd0s:

i had a rhodium and it didn't impress me at all....but that's because i had a hero just before that...i believe that thing spoiled me,so rhodium and WM just didn't feel right,at all...

and by the way orb is crazy about rhodium,so don't listen to him ...and he's probably changing users and his IP so he can vote for rhodium infinite number of times :p :)
[General Topics] orb3000:
Lol!

Yes I´m crazy but not exactly for Rhodium, it´s a must for me to have a REAL keyboard so to this date Rhodium is the best choice we have.

Not bad idea about changing IP´s:D

[General Topics] Purple Drama Llama:
First Snapdragon phone was the Toshiba TG01. When that came out everyone thought it was a beast like the HD2 with a 4.1 inch resistive screen and that Snapdragon. Never hear about it.... ever nowadays. It turned out to be a terrible phone. But, anyway I owned the Tilt 2 before I got my HD2 and I prefer the HD2. I'm just so used to on screen keyboards. I hate the extra luggage. I honestly don't miss anything from my Tilt 2 but being able to partially use Android. The Euro HD2 isn't nearly as much as a powerhouse as the T-Mobile version. 1 GB of ROM, 576 MB of RAM. More than anything out there..... The RAM and processor is needed for doing all the multimedia on the phone like movies, games, animations with sense etc. Everything just runs so smooth and watching movies is a pleasure. The stock keyboard on the HD2 is very acurate. It gives you a "bubble" around the letter just in case you don't hit it precisely. For example, I go to press the letter Q but touch the edges of W, Q will register as long as it's within a certain radius.
[General Topics] orb3000:
I must eat my own words:o

Just changed from Rhodium to Leo and will not go back.

Al tough will immediately move to the 1st keyboard HTC device with snapdragon or superior;)
[General Topics] joeram:
i used to agree with you, that was one of the items that kept from an all touch screen, i have since found swype on the hd2 and it is perfect, touch the first letter and drag across letters and end on last letter, word is put into the screen for you. you can teach it words and short hand, it is nice. check it out.

[General Topics] berrywr:
I currently have both devices and for the past two months I've been using my step son's HD2 Leo and it is everything everybody says it is with two exceptions; I'm in love with both the resistive screen and hardware keyboard. Don't get me wrong the capacitative screen is very good it however doesn't give you the options a resistive screen has. A resistive can be aligned in such a way you don't have to use very much force, you can use the tip and fingernail of your finger and a stylus and not there are so few websites that are finger pad friendly. I bought a Touch-Tech stylus for my HD2 and at best it was an average experience which required really pressing down on the screen for it to work correctly.

As of this typing the Rhodiums can be modestly overclocked to 710 MHz which is 58 MHz shy of the HD2's default CPU speed.

I'm using a BodyGlove which makes handling the Rhodium an excellent experience and it can take a beating with this armor; the HD2 no matter what you wraparound it short of an Otter Box feels fragile.

Both devices are excellent and I have really been on the fence about this decision. The number one advantage to the HD2 is it can run Android 2.2 via SD card and damn good I might add.

You watch the commercials on TV and at the bottom they always say, "sequences shortened." Typing on a capacitative screen is by no means perfect.

I'm not kidding it's a tough call which way to go. However, I'm enjoying my Rhodium and the keyboard is too good....Think about scrolling and going from side to side with one key for each and not having to slide your finger all the time.

All this said, if you have small fingers definitely the HD2; if however you're like me and can really light up a keyboard either a full grown computer keyboard or a mobile phone hardware keyboard; the bottom line is you have to be able to use a keyboard; on-screen or hardware.

The HD2 delivers in every way except what I need to do with a device; type! I rather sell my HD2 now while it has value. The HTC HD3 Mozart is due to be released November 17 with Windows Phone 7. I can't begin to imagine what the folks here at XDA are going to do with it and I'm sure a few chefs will get this ROM working on the HD2 and maybe a lighter version for the Touch Pro 2.

One can hope that there will be a slightly larger form factor for the Touch Pro 2 with the upcoming 1.5 GHz Snapdragon and onboard RAM and memory of the Mozart. I can't imagine a more perfect business device than one that goes both ways and realizing that resistive screens have their days numbered.

I vote the Rhodium...but both have their mertis.

E.g. When you type the password, and press the messaging button it would normally go to WM messages.

How to disassociate the lockscreen going to slideview? Anyone know?
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
When I unlock my phone it goes to Today, Tilewave, or SPB Home. I never get slideview :confused:
[XPERIA X2 General] pejman6767:
same problem

when i use to go to message it goes to slide view

somebody help
[XPERIA X2 General] Shimpuu:
Hello!

I searched in the Registry and I found an Entry there perhaps is interessting.

Search HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen\Notification

here you see the buttons in the Lockscreen.

in SMS you see an Reg-Entry "Application Command Line". When you open this, you see the Entry for SlideView.

Perhaps, you can edit this for the ms sms prog

With best reguards
[XPERIA X2 General] pejman6767:
test this

this cab file may solve this problem

test it and tell me about its result
[XPERIA X2 General] Shimpuu:
Hello,

I'd tested it, but for me, it doesn't work.

With best reguards
[XPERIA X2 General] Razzino:
In:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen\Notification\SMS\Application Command Line

write:

tmail.exe -service "SMS"

and, after touching and then sliding the lockscreen, the X2 will open the Inbox.
[XPERIA X2 General] Jazziephal:
Thanks, it works.

Do you know the command to go directly to the new Message?
[XPERIA X2 General] Razzino:
I dont know.

And today, after opening slideview because a missed call, the value of "application command line" changed and now is the same as the original (it opens slideview because an sms)!!!!!!!!!
[XPERIA X2 General] amk:
please try attached. it goes to typing new sms :)

please help tp delete double post, i try to upload but it said invalid... i need to rar it first. sorry.
[XPERIA X2 General] amk:
sorry i missed the file...
[XPERIA X2 General] s316_khan:
None of the method works Permanently

the time You soft reset or re-start the device, the phone itself reset the registery to the default i.e. to 'slideview'.

well my answer is:

there are java applications that work fine on hd2 but because they are not designed for this phone you cant download them directly . with this sort of "cheat" there is a chance to do it. it did work with HTC Uniwersal

[Wing, P4350 General] Tribulattifather:
First step. Finding what phone type you have, i.e. Herald, Wing, Dopod..etc.

Second step. Find the Original ROM that came with your phone. Do this by going to your manufacturer's site and downloading it with your IMEI number.

Third step is to Flash the Original ROM to device.

Fourth step. Download the HardSPL folder and run the three cab files in that folder and then run the romupdateutility.

Fifth Step. To flash a custom ROM replace the canonyang.nbh image file with the custom .nbh ROM image.

Sixth Step. Run the ROMUpdateUtility again with the new .nbh file.

One other thing.. Don't blame cooks for your inability to flash ROM's..
[Wing, P4350 General] jb1986:
looked at the tmobile website and the htc website for the orginal rom (for the hearld/wing) that came with my phone which is the wing couldnt find it at eather sites. i know how to flash rom i am not retarted. i am taking a guess that it is better to go back to the orginal rom b4 flashing to another rom.
[Wing, P4350 General] Tribulattifather:
Yes, you are correct.

thanks buddy i really couldnt find it any where. works great for a min. it will not load up with out my sd card out after loadin and going through the boot up process i put my sd card back in and after a hour or so it will start doing the same thing reboot. i am just going to stay with the orginal rom then i know that my phone will work everytime and not reboot. unless u got a rom that is better then super kitchen version 4.1.13.61 because that rom must not like my phone. i really like the super kitchen rom cant find andthing like it. just need something with some ram and speed
