[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
There is a paid Android app called Copilot, which is supposed to be pretty good, and does what you want. But I haven't personally used it. There are others, as well.

Also, the Euro version of the Desire Z has a feature of the "new" Sense called HTC Locations, which has a 30-day free trial, than once you pay the monthly fee or buy a lifetime license, you can navigate using maps downloaded to the SD card. Unfortunately, Locations and the Car Panel were removed in the Bell Canada version of the DZ. Likewise, the T-Mobile G2 does not have it, as it is Sense-free. But the feature can be obtained by flashing the stock Euro ROM to either the Bell DZ or the G2. I haven't done this, and I have no idea how well Locations works in the US. But comments by DZ users in the UK and Europe indicate they seem to like it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] potna:
i too miss my tilt 2, especially the tilts sliding kb. thats why i come back to these boards every now and again.

i got an evo back in august. i never thought id get another smart phone without a keyboard since i have had the 8125 8525 8925 and tilt2. its been a much easier transition than i thought moving to a phone with a giant screen let alone switching to a different os

almost anything i could do with wm i cant do with android only better. android is way more reliable and the tilt2 was a touch underpowered.

as soon as someone comes out with a 4.3inch lcd with a sliding kb that will be my next phone

off topic, don't believe the hype about the evo battery being weak, i get 24-40 hrs per charge, average is probably around 30 hrs and that's with 2 weather apps, face book, 4 emails accounts and Google searches off and on all day with gps location and blue tooth on. i also have a stock rom, although its rooted.

btw tc excellent read.

oh and as far as gps, i too was curious about the navigation, google nav is the best gps nav app i have ever used, but it does rely on a cell phone data connection, i think it gets enough of the info cached ahead incase you loose signal but if it needs to reroute and you dont have signal you are dead in the water. so i went on to try a few stand alone gps apps and i ended up going with aura, it looks pretty and it works but i dont like it, but its a good backup to have incase i dont pay my bill, lol, or loose signal.

Redpoint i hate to rain on your parade, but i went and seen that you have quite a few threads some of which are here in the Pro Tilt 2 forums regarding this new phone you are in love with, why not go to the forum for that phone ?

here make it easier for you...

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=594

Sorry the tilt is a great phone although it is getting dated, but that is no reason for what you are doing ....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
I was specifically asked for a comparison between the Touch Pro 2 and the Desire Z; for TP2 owners who may be interested in upgrading. If it was a straight up review of the DZ only, and no mention of the TP2, I would agree with you. But as you can see from reading my review, I make ample comparisons and references to the TP2, so I believe its appropriate here. The DZ is also a very logical upgrade from the TP2 versus just about every other phone on the market, due to its very similar form factor and same manufacturer.

You said I "have quite a few threads" about the DZ. But this is the only thread I started. I posted a reference to this review on 2 other threads started by others. Those threads were started by users looking for an upgrade similar to the TP2, so that actually reinforces my decision that this forum is the correct location for the review/comparison.

I did debate it for a while (of where to post), and your comment is not unreasonable. But I didn't see the Desire Z the best place to post it. The huge majority of the users on the Desire Z/Vision forum already own the phone, and they don't need to see a review for it. If the moderators don't agree with my judgment call, they can move the thread.

And you linked to the forum for the Desire, not the Desire Z. They are completely different phones.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jackos:
Considering what HTC 7 Pro has become, looks like the Desire Z is the only one phone coming from HTC to replace the TP2. What a pity!

I'll wait until something new comes out to replace my PPC. TP2 still does a great job for me.

Thanks again for the review.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
It true, with Swype, I actually find myself using the screen keyboard much more than I would have thought. In fact, for my next phone I may seriously consider one without a hardware keyboard . . . maybe. But I personally can't stand typing on-screen without Swype.

I've had that same thought about having a nav program that doesn't need a data connection, so I have a backup in case I am in an area with dodgy coverage, or for foreign use. I might check out something like Copilot, which is only $5 for the US maps (and interestingly $80 for Europe!).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] user024:
I would like to thank you also for the comparison and ask you about what I haven't read elsewhere.

Is there ability for teleconferencing inDesire Z?

Besides the mentioned problem with the DZ's speaker there were a few times that the feature was (even more than welcome) life-saving while using my rhodium. That, and the Excel files editing.

Also, (a "pro-" feature, not mentioned elsewhere) what about video out?

Am I asking for too much?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mnementh666:
Redpoint:

I too have made the upgrade, from TP2 to G2 (Desire Z). Your findings mirror mine almost exactly.

Just in case any one is curious, I'll add my 2 pence.

I still kind of miss the resistive touch screen (think gloves or stylus for precision), but the cap screen is über responsive, and as you said, multi touch is pretty sweet.

I do not miss the complete lack of development of applications for WM. At least at any corporate or popular apps level.

I do miss the great MS Office and Outlook integration. Android does play nice with Exchange, though.

FWIW: Tmo G2's do have a Office compatible suite that should work for docs and xls, but I didn't get a chance to use it. I flashed to a new ROM too fast ;)

I still have the TP2, and will likely futz with it some more, but the G2/DZ is a worthy successor.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ricref:
calrification on pro2 vs DZ

Sir/s,

i would like to know if DZ has the following functionalities:

1. exchange sync of email, calendar and contacts.

2. when you download exchange email, is it in html format?

3. can DZ record 2 way voice call? (not via speakerphone)

Above are the features that im frequently using on pro2.

Well all,

I haven't set up a personal server yet but just used the portal they provide for free. The web based and winmo side are just as easy to use as ms myphone and the outlook syncing app is just as easy to use. If there is anyone out there looking for an outlook cal/contacts wireless syncing method thats free, give this a go.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonstorm:
Hey all, I have an HD2 running HTC Sense and am having a contacts issue. I have 2 accounts set up on my HD2: personal and work. I have two separate contact lists that sync fine. The problem I run into is that all new contacts I create always save to my personal account. I use a lot of business contacts on my phone as well, and it gets old having to go into Gmail for personal on PC, export the business accounts and delete them, then go to Gmail for work, and import them in.

I thought for sure between Google and Sense there would be a way to specify which account to save to when creating new contacts, and even better also have a way to move/copy them from one account to the other after created. But I am at a loss.

Does anyone have any tips on how to do this?

Thanks.

**********edit

btw, this was moved to WM from the General board... sorry to clog WM with Android questions (unless Sense is that similar between the two).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] missparker76:
On my phone running with Sense if I try to create a new contact right under the name I have the account type where I can select in which account I want the contact to be created.

Will I need to goldcard it in order to continue updating CM?

I think that the goldcard is needed only when installing stock rom from ruu, so you don't need it if you have a rooted legend...

I can't respond with much more knoweldge other then use regarding DFT's and CMLXGO, or whatever his user name is, roms. Both haave a working camcorder with no issue albiet no 720p recording. To my understanding there are no android builds for HD2 yet that support 720p recording.

Also camera quality and camcorder quality is amazing with both of these builds for a cell phone. I actualy bought this phone after seeing pictures from a stock HD2 from a friends phone at my wedding. Android carries true with the same functionality as winmo 6.5 in quality. Winmo 7 still leaves some to be desired though in both departments, but progress is fresh and young and I'm sure it will get better.

A little more complex would be to have actual audio routed through the USB port like if I had the official sammy docks. I do not have a dock.
