Great post! Personally I have him and quite a few other "interested" parties on my ignore list, makes for a much more enjoyable forum read (apart from when they get quoted). Quick tip, just click on the person's forum name, go to public profile, go to user lists and add to ignore list and add away! :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
I have a few users on my ignore list, all added since I got my hd7 and the wp7 bashing began on this site.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kapanak:
My guess is it will hit it just before the second update (rumoured) February update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
a thread like this just got closed... how long will it take for this to as well i wonder...
[Windows Phone 7 General] lip:
It must have already sold a million I would guess as it was released in many countries...the Samsung and HD7 were sold out in many European countries for sometime...
[Windows Phone 7 General] tomhierl:
The Pre sold 300,000 in its first month, in the US.

WP7 sold less than a million so far (400-700,000), so we're looking at 200-500,000 in its first month. Measured against overall smartphone sales (2010 vs. 2009) that's a lot less than the Pre.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
where are people getting their numbers ? (this isn't a flame) the difference between 200 and 500,000 or 400-700,000 is quite a hump !

if i see someone with a wp7 phone, i'll definitely remember it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tone_:
The pre only sold 486,000 units in the first quarter?

In less than 2 months WP has half that amount of people using facebook applications each day - never mind units sold.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Skex:
Did you ever read what you wrote?

If 200,000 to 500,000 sold in the first month then it either matched or far exceeded Pre's initial months sales. (hint 500,000 is more than 300,000)

Ignoring the fact that your numbers are ROMA data.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tomhierl:
Yeah maybe you learn to read before answering. Not going to educate you now, just read that post again... mmmkay?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tone_:
You mean you don't want to make yourself look stupid, again.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tomhierl:
You just made yourself look stupid. Is it so hard to read a post before you answer?

I said measured against overall smartphone sales WP7 sales are slower than Pre sales were in 2009.

It's not *that* hard to understand, is it? Not even for a brainwashed WP7 fanboy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tone_:
What is easy to understand is you just pull BS figures out the air.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tomhierl:
It's not my fault when you can't do some research yourself.

If you actually did, you'd find that the figures are very much true.

Why can't you just admit you weren't able to read that post properly? Jeeez.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tone_:
I provided a link to the figures released by Palm regarding the Pre, you provided nothing but BS.

Also how long did it really take Android to shift a Million units?
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
If it hasn't hit 1 million units already it will by christmas. The last semi-official figures I saw were in the 7-800000 range about a week and a half ago.

In any case it's a moot point as most people will not break their existing contract to pick one up. Since people did go out their way to get an iPhone (as it was something completely new) this is also the reason there is no point in comparing initial WP7 sales with those of the iPhone.

When it comes to Android, most figures seem to be units shipped rather than units sold, so again there is no real comparison there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tone_:
True but to save Tom the trouble of making up some figures HTC say 600,000 units were

shipped

in Q4 2008. link
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
Well said I hate these people that just hate there own lives so much they hang out in forums for stuff they don't have to just pick fights with people. The worst bit is he has the same first name as me makes me sick, might pop to town in the morning change my name. At the end of the day what counts is that MS stick to what they are doing and WP will pick up they just need to get seen and people will want it just takes time for people to trust new platforms but they will once they know about it
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tone_:
Oh dear more BS metrics, it either sells more in a given period or it doesn't.

Social Experiment - hows that theory go.. :rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 General] sandrobber:
Facebook number over here.

http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=7933375107&ref=mf

Also this is just for voting when you think it will hit a million not to debate other facts :) . At least I know my posts are getting better over time LOL.
[Windows Phone 7 General] blahism:
i wish there was some cheesy way to find out live.com ids associated with phone.. that would give you the closest number of activated sales. Do any of the other live.com partner apps show tallies? can you see how many activations youtube/linkedin or last.fm have?

Personally, i'm not concerned. The platform is destined from success, especially if you follow anyone involved in it. Some fantastic upgrades are due soon, development adoption was amazingly quick and the sky is blue from here on out.. its not like we're having to wait for 3rd gen HARDware to do SMS or youtube videos like other unmentioned devices or having to wait for Wp7X for a phone that doesn't suck ass and slow down or need a custom rom to remove carrier shovelware :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] tomhierl:
So basic stuff like copy&paste, multitasking and HTML5 is "fantastic" and autumn 2011 is "soon"?

Really?
[Windows Phone 7 General] blahism:
well, we already have the best gaming experience, the best youtube experience, the best audio experience, the only platform with first party music subscription.

HTML5 on mobile is sort of irelevent at this time, the "app" side to html5 won't reflect well on mobile devices for quite some time and silverlight/native apps fill the void just fine and quite frankly i haven't found a website that doesn't work on mobile IE

Multitasking is there btw.. I can listen to music, surf multiple tabs in IE and hop back and forth between seesmic and other apps.. Sure some of the apps get tombstoned but hey, engineering the process to run fine on a phone and keep functionality and performance top notch is what a great OS is supposed to do right?

never used C&P once on my iphone 3gs before upgrading to wp7.. it didn't multitask either and when i had my samsung android phone it was slow as molasses and i didn't want to fart around with finding a worthwhile rom to fix a crappy device out of the box.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Skex:
C/P will be January (Along with CDMA support) and Multitasking probably March which isn't autumn.

Silverlight enhancements and HTML5 is Autumn.

Get your trolling straight.
[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
u are in the wrong section... this is not an ANDROID forum...
[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
do u even have a phone ???? and if by accident u have bought one please sell it off..
[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
i think MS knows all the right numbers but they do not want to come out and put it on the table yet.. they have been tight lipped about this OS from the begining... so no one will know when exactly we will get the update but i guess one day my phone will be updated automaticly as its on auto update right now..
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
What an idiot, loser. You do know you have just come off a complete d**k don't you.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sketchy9:
I think the mods should ban tomhierl. He literally contributes nothing to any discussion. His stated purpose (see his last comment) is to be a troll and get on people's nerves. There is no place for him here.

-R
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
this is true and I have bought it up in another thread so he is now known so shouldn't be to long now the way he goes at it lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Agree

He has done the same things in at least one other thread and the mods are aware of it. He hijacks the thread, no matter what the subject, and turns it into a WP7 bashing party. He brings absolutely nothing to the subject of the thread. It won't last.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rexian:
Trolls enjoy attention. I haven't seen this guy's posts in a while (he's in my ignore list), but he's just a moron with too much time and nothing to do (like all morons). Just put him in your ignore list if mods have not banned him yet.

If he doesn't get enough replies, he'll go away soon. Even if he doesn't go away (hard to predict a moron's behavior), it wouldn't matter much anyway. While we are at it, add the fanboys also!
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
question

How can we even guesstimate windows phone 7 sales? We don't know. So how can you compare them against pre-existing smart phone sales?

further just because you may have the statistics, it doesn't mean much unless you know the derivation of the statistics itself. Android, palm, and apple assumedly released more devices than windows phone 7 why?

Everything that can be argued about sales is conjecture because microsoft has not released any sales figures. So your contention is moot
[Windows Phone 7 General] jhughesy:
WP7 has not been released "worldwide" as some are stating.
[Windows Phone 7 General] loomx:
Sales figures have just come out, 1.5 Million handsets were shipped in the first 6 weeks... seems its done alot better than the na-sayers are trying to make out :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] keyboardP:
Yup 1.5 million sold to carriers. Although it's not an end user number, it still reflects the confidence the carriers have in the device. Considering that the Android and the iOS, both mature platforms, are available already, 1.5 million is not a bad number at all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] loomx:
Yeh, but considering the fact people were complaining/struggling to get hold of them because they were sold out would suggest that a good percentage of them have been sold.

I wouldnt be suprised if 1 million handsets were in customers hands already, the facebook number is a terrible way of looking at it, I have never used the facebook app because its so well integrated into the phone, infact I dont know of anyone who uses it out of the 4 other people I know who have WP7 phones.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mmelo76:
Ok! Infraction issued for him! Is now under observation!

With this warning in public expect him or change his behavior or do not put more rude comments.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sandrobber:
hopefull

Gee if I used that as a measure (1.5) million units sold to carriers all sales figures would look good. Think about how many cellular stores are selling these phones and how many they have. However it seems more than likely that a million have already been sold to human beings.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tone_:
The numbers show individual stats for Windows phone and the facebook app.

1.	Windows Phone

2.	Facebook for Windows Phone

http://statistics.allfacebook.com/applications/multi/135892916448833+7933375107
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekki:
As it turns out, it seems they've shipped 1.5 million, although that's to retailers and suppliers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] makoute:
If you guys do not want to read what he has to say, why not just put him on ignore, why must anyone be banned for their opinion on a forum?
[Windows Phone 7 General] sketchy9:
It's not just opinion, it's the ad hominem attacks, repeatedly calling people stupid, not responding to the thread topic, etc.

Regarding MS's latest numbers, I am pleasantly surprised. I don't think it's unreasonable to think that 2/3 of shipped units have been sold, which would put that number at a million. Also, the OEMS and carriers would not order that many units if they didn't see a demand for them. So that's encouraging to me. All in all, I didn't want WP7 to turn into another Palm Pre, and it looks hopeful that it will avoid that fate.

-R
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
2/3 is kind of a long shot, I personally don't know a single person who owns a WP7 device and I see a bunch of people and live in the 4th largest city in the country.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Thing is, sales figures almost always state units shipped rather than units actually changing hands. In any case, 1.5 million units is a very healthy start for a OS that was seen as dead in the water only 2 months ago.

The numbers leads me to believe the 800k units I heard a while back (based on Live ID activation) was spot on and we've already passed the 1m customer mark. If I had to guess, I would say 1.25m units have actually been sold.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
I live in the second biggest city in my country and didn't see people carrying android devices until March this year.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Ill say 2+ million at this point. Probably more.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rexian:
2+ million shipped to re/e-tailers could be true. 1¢ @Amazon is a great price for new contractors and they probably have sold a lot. I upgraded at a local Costco store for $50 (and iPhone 4 for $149, so 2 phones for $200), which I believe was a great price too. Just for comparison, I paid $200 for my Fuze alone (and $400 for the old iPhone) :eek:
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
I want to see the numbers after the holidays. I'm certain everyone will sell a ton.

Microsoft: 1.5 Million Windows Phone Sales in First Six Weeks

http://www.winsupersite.com/article/paul-thurrotts-wininfo/Microsoft-1-5-Million-Windows-Phone-Sales-in-First-Six-Weeks.aspx
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The Amazon prices are nice until you want to switch carriers and realize there is a double ETF penalty that costs more than the phone off-contract.

I'm not a fan of the "phone for a penny" deals.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
maybe, but remember that t-mobile likes to do their own sales periodically, like on father's day this year.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
what about this?

They said they did it in 6 weeks?!

http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2010/12...ows-phone-7-handsets-sold-in-first-six-weeks/
[Windows Phone 7 General] sandrobber:
clarification

I was saying a million in peoples hands not that the retailers purchased
[Windows Phone 7 General] jjm001:
Let it launch in India, it'll have million units sold in the first month in India itself :-P

But I was really disheartened to see their first day sales.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
are you referring to that 40,000 figure? Notice that anyone who has quoted this, and provided a source (if they have ever)... you trace it back to that source, but that source doesn't say where it came from... because they pulled it our of their arse.

don't believe everything you see unless it comes from a reputable source (carrier/oem/MS). a lot of random garbage gets sprayed out just to get talk happening, most to bring down a product.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] salonluden:
Ok, so basically this is a sorta home screen (hs) theme that I made. I wanted the clock and all the other widgets to sorta blend in with the background and add to the picture as if it was really there... and this was my creation:

Note: The left screen was left blank for you to fill in with whatever you want. I have my quick contacts there (which is why it's blank - for privacy reasons) and they blend in pretty well also ;).

In any case, the theme is made up of a few things:

Background image - bg.jpg

Analog Clock - G_TowerClock.cab

Mail/SMS mod - G_Mail-SMS mod.cab

Weather - Co0kie's weather widget- install that also and place it halfway between the first and second screen.

Just install those two files and set up the background image (very wide!) and you're set to go :D

For those who were wondering, I use 3 levels, so my first level (0) is like my regular HTC sense homescreen, the 2nd (1) is always something impressive [this :cool:], and the 3rd is always quick links.

Cheers!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:

So now you almost have two themes if you extend your Geek Clock to a Geek Theme :)

Lol yea I have my Ultimate Geek Redesign (in my signature) which is basically an unifinished theme that I want to continue adding to, because, quite frankly, whenever I show people it they laugh :)

I would suggest waiting for the Dec 19 patch first. Installing tnt lite or vegan is fairly easy, but it may not be a one time deal since more patches and hack will be needed in the future to make his tablet more useable. The question you should ask yourself is how much time could you spend on updating the device.
[G Tablet General] jrobau92:
Can a newbie handle installing tnt lite, I can read and follow directions but you guys speak a different language.
[G Tablet General] loztboy:
Hey what patch is this? I haven't heard of it. What we really should be waiting for is the source code.
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
I am new in hacking but after watching the videos created bye edge and reading the instructions. Installing tnt lite or vegan is not too hard, the hard part is your own fear.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TonyOCL:
I have now tried a few versions of Android and each crash when I do something like update Weather or download APPs. so this would seem to be a problem around the radio or base WinMob version.

I have Artemis 45 so my Radio had to be at highest stock release indeed it is 2.15.50.14 - which seems to be acceptable for most android releases.

Can anyone suggest what could be causing the crashes and hopefully a solution?

I really want to see Android stable before I make the complete switch.

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] selagidar:
Hello. I really felt the same, even running from windows. Test

2_12_50_02_2 the radio. Good luck. ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TonyOCL:
Reading the radio thread it implies that I have to use hspl but I believe that isn't compatible with 3.14 rom. Is this correct?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] selagidar:
No, is fully supported. I am currently using:

ROM: Energy.Leo.29005.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Dec.13. (Based on ROM 3.14)

RADIO: 2_12_50_02_2

No more crashes!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TonyOCL:
I am having problems doing this.

As my Rom is now SPL 3.03.0000 then I can't load HSPL as it is not one of the 1.x or 2.x in the list.

I can't even load the Energy rom as its requires HSPL :-(

any suggestions?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TonyOCL:
I have finally got the energy rom loaded but the radio I can't down grade. I have tried CustomRUU SSPL etc.

Can anyone tell me how I can downgrade the radio wen I have SPL 3.03?

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Why do you want to downgrade the radio? Any radio that is 2.08 or greater (with a .50, not .51) is fine for Android, so you should never need to downgrade it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] emuniz23:
hi i have the same radio i did my update with tmobile hspl then i flash the energy rom last reles. then froyostone then im using the nexus one dev. for android2.2.1 everything works and is fast all apps work and phone calls mounting my sd card and all
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TonyOCL:
As I mentioned with radio 2.15.50.14 I get crashes in Android when doing thinks like updating the weather or downloading apps.

2_12_50_02_2 - is recommended by a lot of folks as fully stable with android builds. also it isn't just one version of the android builds as I have tried quite a few.

Thanks

Tony
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TonyOCL:
I still am having the same problem.

Today I did

1) did a Task29

2) reinstalled Energy rom

3) reformatted the SD card and put the content back

4) started Android. but it crashed on doing a download

The radio I am runnign is 2_12_50_02_2 which seems to work for others.

Am I missing anything?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TonyOCL:
