[HD2 General] Nakazul:
- Monday the 6th sep 2010 (18:20):

While watching Futurama (on my HD2) i realized i havent presented my self in anyways so lets do a pre post thingy. My Name is Peder Nakazul Tjärnberg aka Nak'an and i live in Sweden Gothemburg, born and breed on the Swedish Northlands, moved to the big city 2000 (lol, i know, we dont have large citys in here, Gothemburg bragging on second largest where merly 900 000 peeps)

I been a Pocket PC user since back of the days, im not a young man anymore so there been some devices by now.

Started out with my first geeky phone somewhere around late 2000 or early 2001. Since the realese of the first GSM based mobile in the 90's i had marveld upon being able to make a call ... (and not get a bill the size of mount everest)... from ANYWHERE, i was totaly blown away and used various Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola phones and with me in the end having a Nokia 7110 (The matrix looking phone) , wich started out as a collaberation between Nokia and the Swedish mobile operator Telia as the first wap unit, i was amazed by it, surfing the web, almost, what if there was a mobile that had windows like my computer with all its feat.

Said and done, on my second 7110 and some years later, and after by accidently having dropped it in my bathtub (nooo, loved that phone, still does) and a friend talking about palms, i by accident stumbeld upon a store here in Gothemburg that was specialized in only Pocket PC's and palms and there, right on the spot, he sold me my first Pocket PC, a brand new Qtek 9090 aka HTC Blue Angel. My amazment lvl knew no boundrys, its almost like a real windows operating computer and it had it all. And with every talk about updates and the exiting future of Pocket PC's a dream of a phone being a full blown out windows computer started (Still does).

I started out with a 1GB card and people at worked gazed and was amazed, what a mindblowing amount of storage space and you have windows messenger!

Well, in love or not in the BA (Blue Angel in short), when finaly after much delay the Qtek 9000 aka HTC Universial arrived. Growin a bit frustrated at the limitations on the 9090 and it broke down, and seeing my vision of having a real computer in my hands i sold my soul, everything i could and bought one.

What a screen, what a performance machine. Themes poped up enabeling almost a authentic XP look and XPUScalar sent the processor flying. TCPMP started really to rock and it feelt as i had the world in my hands.

But after a while it started to feel unaccurate for my needs, as my media hunger grew, so did not the Universial so one day, i just sold it and bought me my next evolution ... The Flybook GSM. A mini PC before everything, the size slighty larger then a DVD cover, touchscreen, built in gsm phone, a screen you could rotate and fold i had reached nirvana. It had Windows XP Pro and built in HD and was *In that time( incredble fast. Wow what a geek dream. I could even install World Of Warcraft and just bearly play it.

Must have looked funny back in the days with me, having a PC headphone set with speakers on my head walking around with a small bag on my shoulder. Also dissmised the need for pockets. The device had pluetooth yes, but as i rememberd XP could not handle calls on BT back then, i knew for sure a small nice BT headset could not be used.

But technology grows better, and as my wish for what i wanted to do with my little Flybook slowly got halted due to the fact that the processor was seemingly usless, graphic card almost non existent and the ever haunting problem with touchscreens back then, the yellowish bad screens. My dream for the perfect portable device crumbled and finally crashed, i sold it and bought my self a Dell XPS M1710 computer and that was almost the end of my hi-end phone world days. I thought i was done with the buggy, laggy world of small devices.

Slowly the the small company Qtek got at least a little foothold in Sweden and i saw friends with HTC Wizards etc, but i never even glanced at them. But a technology awaited around corner forcing me to look a mobile pda's again. The birth of 3g.

Wow, i had been a growing resister of the use of Ericsson phones (wich is law to own in Sweden), and here, among the first 3g phones on the Swedish market was a Motorola. And the internet speeds should be great so i bought a Motorola A-920 and was now cruising on the wave of Symbian. If feelt kind of cool, but cofusing at the sametime. And Motorola released pretty shortly a device named A-925, and i thought, that screen quality, the colours, i had to change device .... and weeks or somthing later the Motorola A-1000 came out and a small glimps of my PDA days started to show, time for a change again.

Now the phone operator 3 was constantly a pain to use and there customer support wasnt even worth mentioning. And after a while i ditched the A-1000 also and went to samsung regular boring phone. My dissepointment had no boundrys. Still keept the A920 as i thought it to be cult (+it was bugg free!!! Havent heard of one) so its laying safely stored away in a bag nowadays with original box etc.

Now cameras started to intressed me more and more, and having it on the phone was practical since i always carried my phone with me. And LG came with a new device that seemd nice, divx support and all so there i go, i bought the LG Viewty and i must say, what a great phone. Simple to use, pretty nice operating system and i was in love. When a year or so later, when LG released the LG Renoir , now with 8mp camera there was no questions asked. Time to uppgrade. It was a nice phone and it could have been a keeper but for some reason it keept loosing the sd card, couldnt find it. And after several repears i saw a new device with a 12mp coming out, it was once again time for a switch. Sone Ericsson released the Symbian based device Satio. Wow this is it .... Or not. My god, i say it now and never again, put a bullet in Symbian, its been develovped to slow and is basicly crap if you dont have a Nokia phone. After 1 week of owning the device i was so frustrated by the slow responsing, laggy, totally unlogical device. Sure, i could take pictures so wonderfull i thought i burst of happiness, but my god the rest sucked. I started to look for a device to to it all once and for all, a high/end device that would do it all and that would be it. I went and bought a real camera and after studing the webb a long time .... The HTC HD2 was due to come out. I looked at Nokias N900 and this and said, the one that comes out first i buy. Keeping on reading on the HD2 on internet i changed my mind and pre-orderd it. And after delay i got mine 2009-11-09 and the wow effect had no boundrys. Now i had started to search for sites to give news, updates and info and stumbled upon XDA, PocketNow and here i am.

The HD2 is the best phone i ever bought, it satisfy my needs 24 seven. Sure, WM is buggy, but thnx to the XDA Community the device feels pretty perfect and stabile nowadays. What a journy its been. And will it end when WP7 comes out? Well, im on a tight budget, but i will do everyting in my power to keep it, i love it and its a keeper. My belives are that a device like the HD2 will not be released at launch so i have time to preper for a new monster device. WP7, im ready, i embrace you no matter the cost.

Btw all i write on internet, this diary is done frome my HD2.
