Definitely not as I am very impressed with my mytouch 4g. Please don't take offense but I honestly don't understand why anyone would get the HD7. I would much rather get the Dell Venue Pro which brings something new to the table; the HD7 is basically a HD2 with a new chassis, kickstand, and WP7. For people that are assuming that games on WP7 are going to be incredible, this likely won't be the case for these first gen devices which all have adreno 200 (a pretty bad integrated GPU).
[myTouch 4G General] JWhipple:
No offense taken at all - actually your responses are educating me a bit :-) Plus swaying me more and more to stay with Android for the time being.

Keep em coming!
[myTouch 4G General] Noyabronok:
What about open source maaan. You gotta go with Android. It's more fun for nerds like us. Besides, what ever happened to MS is evil?
[myTouch 4G General] HeavyComponent:
No I'm good and done with Windows Mobile phones! Android is the future!
[myTouch 4G General] luis86dr:
I'm sure android could be ported to the hd7 eventually.

[myTouch 4G General] kamasi36:
The first generation processor makes it a bad decision like the person mentioned above. the processor on the myt4g is sick. On par if not better than the hummingbird. (debatable)
[myTouch 4G General] JWhipple:
Is it indeed the first generation snapdragon and not the same as the one we have?
[myTouch 4G General] Rampart19:
The processor in the MTG4G is the same one in the G2, only clocked at 1ghz, instead of 800mhz.

The processor in the HD7 is the first gen snapdragon. Essentially, the hardware in the HD7 is all old tech. The only thing it has going for it is WP7. If I could get the Samsung Omnia 7 on T-Mobile, then I might have thought about going WP7, since I think that is a beautiful device. But still, give WP7 about a year to mature. That is my opinion anyways.
[myTouch 4G General] cdw9800:
i thought about it from a media player standpoint i think the music player on WP7 phones might be just a lil better but ill wait it out still waiting on Google Music Service
[myTouch 4G General] 21productionz:
I had a brain fart and considered going to look and play with the HD7 today. I was getting ready to go, but decided to check the forums to see if anyone was "in love" with there phone or saying it's the best thing ever. I didn't see any of that, just questions and problems. The day I got this phone we were all over bragging about it to eachother. It's a week later almost and I like this phone more today than the day I bought it.

I would never go back to MSFT for anything. (Well unless it's free, then I might consider it before I trashed it)
[myTouch 4G General] Jeffmeister:
Screw that... windows fail phone with a 1st gen 1ghz snapdragon. I'll stick to my MyTouch4G
[myTouch 4G General] BeEazy10:
Sticking to the MT4G

Like a Few ppl said in the post above, 1st gen snapdragon CPU 512MB of ram NTY... i will stick to my MT4G with a 2nd Gen snapdragon and 768MB of ram

I would like to give the phone a try(that when my mom buy it) but other than that i would hold off on it
[myTouch 4G General] jhnnyblze2000:
I bought my MT4G on sunday but while in the store they had the hd7 turned on and playing with it and i checked it out before i bought my MT4G i spent prolly a good 20 to 30 minutes messin with it cause there was a line and i was waiting to buy my phone and honestly i can say that i was extremely impressed with the phone. The interface was extremely clean and quick, a little confusing at first but the more you play with it the easier it gets.The interface is pretty much just like the zune hd interface. The looks of the phone were actually the biggest draw to the phone. Its an incredibly sweet looking phone. But at the end of the wait though, as impressive as it was it wasnt impressive enough for me to give up on getting android and the MT4G.
[myTouch 4G General] OnE ShoT:
Why would u even want to consider returning this phone I gotta say never been so satisfied with a device like this in AWHILE. Like the other person said the hd7 is just a replica of the hd2 which I owned too and is nothing to be blown away by either. Android ftw!!!
[myTouch 4G General] devinluck:
I bought an hd2 and wasnt happy with it so I took it back and swapped it out for a mt4g and I cant believe how much better android is. For a while I couldnt decide if I should wait a bit and get the hd7 or get this phone. I played with an hd7 at the tmobile store. Couldnt get the supposed stereo speakers to work, and those 2 vents just seemed like they would get clogged with this after 1 single day of use. Aside from the metal ring around the front it felt identical to the hd2. Tell me what u guys think about the kickstand, I would never use it and it just feels cheap, like it will over time not stay shut and catch on your pocket etc. dont get me wrong, the screen is huge and the think just looks and feels really expensive. Played with it for about 3-4 min and that used used 3% of the battery which is also just like the hd2, they neeed to jam a 1600 in there stock at least or what good is all the eye candy if you find yourself disabling it all to get through one day if use. The OS is cool. Screen is big. Thats just my opinion but based on battery life and the fact that its windows I wouldnt buy it. It cant even copy/paste on release day are you serious?
[myTouch 4G General] erebusting:
this is one big tipping point for me...but then again -WP7 is designed specifically to that driver so it is said to work just as fast or just about.... idk?
[myTouch 4G General] krat0s123:
the only reason why it felt faster was because there's no multitasking on WP7, which i think is stupid.. but it's ok.. i'm sure when WP11 comes out, it will support multitasking.. :D
[myTouch 4G General] PolishDude:
The interface is tempting but I wont even consider it until it matures a bit aka copy and paste, multitasking, bugs fixed, etc...the hd7 looks sexy but 8gb of memory and an old processor puts it off
[myTouch 4G General] Lockeskidney:
the biggest issue for me was the fact that they didnt make any changes from the HD2. thats just lazy. I think WP7 has alot of promise but still needs more time on the market before its ready to be used.

i wont look into WP7 until i leave this device
[myTouch 4G General] iGoOsE76:
no MS for me!!! I'm done with them and will never buy another MS OS ever again!!!
[myTouch 4G General] JWhipple:
BIG turn-off is the lack of ability to multitask... I use Slacker Radio and GPS in my vehicle constantly - with the HD7 that wouldn't happen - it would be one or the other , unless you're using Zune to play your music.
[myTouch 4G General] moosic:
I returned the HD7 for the MT4G. I used the HD7 for seven days before I returned it. I've owned multiple windows mobile and android based phones over several years. I really liked WP7's interface a lot. There were several deal breakers for me:

The email client was bad for me. No threaded conversations were a big issue. No cut and paste was rough, not horrible though.

No VPN client was lame.

Inability to customize beyond the tiles. Scrolling through a ton of apps was lame.

I really, really like the sense UI that HTC has created. I have been a big fan since I started using the custom roms on my old HD2.

The MT4g is fluid and fast. Battery life is great for me so far. My biggest use of my phone is email consumption while on the road.

MT4G is a great phone.

I am a Microsoft fan boy for the most part, I am willing to look at other solutions though.

I really miss the zune subscription on my HD7, that was awesome.
[myTouch 4G General] s10shane:
i will never go back to ms phone again. i love windows on my pc vs **** mac's and xbox 360s but thats it from ms. they just fail at making software for phones lol. here are the specs for the hd7 vs hd2, ur pretty much paying for the same phone the only thing u get different is the look of the phone, 720p video recording and wp7, thats it.

hd7 specs

1 GHz Qualcomm QSD 8250

512 MB + 16 GB (non-removable microSD) ROM

512 MB RAM

5.0 megapixel with auto focus

hd2 specs

Qualcomm 1GHz Snapdragon

ROM 1GB

RAM 576MB

16GB MicroSD Card

5MP Camera With Flash
[myTouch 4G General] gr8one698:
In regards to the HD7: Other than the enticing "new" Windows 7 interface the phone doesn't have very much to be desired. Outdated processor, lack of external storage, no "4g" support, no multiple-tasking and poor battery life. I'm glad I returned it for a refund. Maybe I'll dive back into WM when they work out the kinks and release a phone with a more updated hardware.

On a side note, the MT4G is a beast. Love the phone. Launcher Pro Plus is your friend if you want faster scrolling between screens.
[myTouch 4G General] corwest:
Played with the HD7 for about 20 mins the other day and do have to agree that the UI is nicely polished and works well but beyond that I just cant get past being stuck with the tiles. Android is getting better every day and the customization is second to none. Not to mention the MT4G is a very powerful phone and just needs its full potential unlocked. Lastly, no CM on WP7:eek::eek:
[myTouch 4G General] iGoOsE76:
thought this picture say's it all!!
[myTouch 4G General] samsci:
I purchased the MyTouch 4G and plan on keeping it. I debated going with the HD7, but decided I would get the MYTouch 4G. I already have a MyTouch 3G.

For anyone who says that the HD7 though is basically the same as the HD2 has no clue to what they are saying. The OS is completely different. Microsoft built the OS from the ground up. It is a completely different operating system. Not liking Microsoft or Windows is one thing, but try to be impartial please. At least pick one up and test it out for about a half hr to see what all it can do.

The cut and paste also will be coming out as a patch as well. Once you have used the phone for a bit, it is actually a smooth flowing setup. Images are clear and crisp. Linking into Exchange is excellent for email and documentation, ect is great. Overall, it is not a bad phone.

That being said, I truly enjoy the MyTouch 4G. Have had it for only 2 days now and it simply blows me away with it's capabilities. Especially over what the 3G did. Simply night and day. Everything is so crisp on it. Very fast, and once rooted, you can pretty much do whatever you want on it. Extremely nice phone.
[myTouch 4G General] sym1:
HUH? :cool:
[myTouch 4G General] s10shane:
we are comparing the hd2 with hd7 cause hardware spec wise they are the same damn phone. i think we all know the os is different and thats not a big deal to us. why would u pay 200 dollars for an hd7 when its basically the same damn phone as the hd2??? ur throwing ur money away. plus no 4g? have fun being stuck with 3g on the hd7 for the next 2 years lol...mytouch 4g for the win!
[myTouch 4G General] samsci:
16 gig of internal memory. and 4G is pretty open to interpretation, since TMobile's 4G network is not a true 4G network. That being said, you still need to look at the OS. Look what Cyan has done with the MyTouch 3G with his ROMs. Same 3G hardware, but the ROMS have made the 3G far better than it ever could have been.

Microsoft has done a pretty good job with the HD7, plain and simple. My personal opinion is I prefer the MyTouch 4G over it. But there is nothing wrong with the HD7 either and if I did not get the MyTouch, that would have been my 2nd choice.
[myTouch 4G General] mingkee:
You missed 2 important featured on MT4 and you can't find them in HD7 are:

wifi calling (it actually made my day working along with Virgin Mobile mifi)

secondary cam (it may not for everybody)

In addition, MT4 (and other Android devices) can accept ANY microSD cards up to 32GB, can WP7 accept it?
[myTouch 4G General] Ken B:
My 2 cents

I have been a long time WM user and had good experiences with the custom rom route with WM6.5, but the Fuze just needed replacing so I picked up a Sprint Epic. A very good phone, but I couldn't take the chance of Sprint not upgrading to Froyo so I returned it and got the Vision G2. Another good phone but the voice dial over bluetooth didn't work well with the 1200 contacts I have in Outlook, so I got the MT4G. It also was a very good phone but had a little different problem with voice dailing in that it only displayed 2 numbers from a contact and many of my contacts have multiple numbers. Finally I tried the HD7 and I must say that the voice dailing over bluetooth experience is about as good as it can get. I use exchange and absolutely no problems and the Office interface is superb. So I won't be going back to Android.
[myTouch 4G General] PlankLongBeard:
Amen to Launcher Pro!

[myTouch 4G General] eric0668:
fwiw, I was speaking with a HTC rep who was using both. One for his personal device he bought and one he was testing. don't know which was which

But he said that the mt4g blew away the HD7 and that any of the probs I had when I had my Dash, were clearly not away, and being a HTC rep, he didn't wanna bash the phone they made and get into specifics.

Made perfect sense to me even before speaking to him, even before this thread.
[myTouch 4G General] cal3thousand:
Duh... everyone knows the OS is completely different

everyone 'here' was talking about how they didn't do squat to the hardware using antiquated CPU/GPU (in todays atmosphere, not new is OLD)

Additionally, no cut and paste nor multitasking? More jurassic tactics... Even Apple came around on the copy paste and multitasking.

Another thought: Why do they keep the windows name when there are no windows on it? They should call it Tile Phone 7
[myTouch 4G General] Jeffmeister:
Enjoy your subpar phone /wave
[myTouch 4G General] cal3thousand:
Hey... he got what's important to him... apparently dialing without using fingers outweighs the other 'crap' in his book.

If you don't want customization and freedom and you want what you want... get what you want. Done... leave Android to 'Us'
[myTouch 4G General] slyjai:
I owned the G1 since the day it came out. I owned the Nokia N900 since the day it came out. I would still be using my beloved N900 if it was not destroyed due to a freak accident. I purchased an HD7 for $499 the day it came out. I fell in love with the OS. Windows Phone 7 is refreshing and clean compared to anything I have ever used. I exchanged it for the MT4G only because I could not stand having poor call quality, Microphone issues, having to restart the phone just to get Market Place [as well as other apps] to open, not having flash. I believe that Windows Phone 7 is the future, just not the present. I LOVE MT4G, it is a solid device that has been satisfying to use so far; I will keep.

Hello,

[Android Software Development] Subjective Effect:
I've been using Eclipse to go through the tutorials on the main Android dev site and tbh it's all a bit too much and things don't work and I've no idea why. For example; I even ended up copying and pasting the example code for the grid view tutorial and even the code in the tutorial doesn't work.

I'm not a programmer really, I just dabble in PHP, JavaScript, CSS, HTML and I've done a bit of ASP and VB in the past.

But this is a whole step up and when these things go wrong I've no idea, at all, how to fix them. If there was a good Android programming book out there I'd get it but they all have terrible reviews.

So I'm going back to using App Inventor and tbh all I want is a tabbed layout, or a grid where you can select to go to a new screen. My app is mostly info and if I were writing this in JavaScript, CSS and HTML I could do it in a day. Ideally I'd have tabs, to choose a section, and then buttons on the tabbed pages to choose the info. Like a reference set I suppose.

I can't find any code examples for multiple screens so can anyone tell me how to simulate this with App Inventor?

If it were a webpage I'd just alter the visibility of divs and then have links within the divs. It's actually a very, very simple concept...
[Android Software Development] Subjective Effect:
No one knows? Seriously?
[Android Software Development] eAiur:
The App Inventor doesn't allow for tabbed displays, and I haven't really seen a viable way to simulate tabs.

I would suggest using Titanium Appcelerator, you build the app in Javascript, through it's API, and it'll compile into a working Android app

There's a free version, and a Paid version, but really all you need is the freebie
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] germandsc:
Sorry the nobbness of my question, but i really cant get it...

I have the x10 mini phone, i have rooted it with Exploid method (by the way, i still can get the list command to work, and neither uninstall aplication, if you want to help me with that too), im from Chile, and have an Entel pcs "account".

When i conect the phone to pc companion, it says that my phone is allredy upgraded, but it is still version 1.6..

Does it has something to do with me, being in another country, with another mobile company? Or is there a method to upgrade the phone that isnt pc companions one?

Anyway, ill apriciate a lot if yuo guys can help me...

...so thanks!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] benjymous:
You need to debrand to a generic rom (Generic UK works for the X10mini) - if you bought your phone from an operator then it'll have a customised version of the rom - Operators will take a while (or never!) to update and release their customised versions of an update. Using the generic rom bypasses this, and you get the software directly from SE without any of the additional operator bloat

The dpi changer can be found on Marketplace or the 'Lite' version can be found on that thread I think.

Hope that helps although it's not really worth the effort as Facebook and e-mail don't work properly yet.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beefheart:
That's a lit pixel rather than a dead one and would have had nothing to do with the launcher. As for fixing it there are some apps which flash specific pixels really fast which can sometimes fix a dead or lit pixel - I remember there was a couple of such homebrew apps for the PSP. Not sure if you can get one for Android or Windows Mobile though.
