[Epic 4G General] crabjoe:
They already have hybrid FD/TD LTE chipsets. I'd think adding WiMax to the mix would be the tricky part since there won't be much demand for WiMax, compared to LTE, in the near future.

If Sprint ends up wanting a hybrid LTE/WiMax chip, how much more will the price of the phone go up? I think it's in Sprint's long term interest to just move to LTE and keep buying air time from Clearwire for the existing WiMax capable phones.

If I were Sprint, I'd drop WiMax on all new handsets and just make a commitment to move to LTE. And until Sprint could get LTE up and running, I'd just buy time on Verizon's LTE network to eventually setup a roaming agreement with them.

Yeah, I know Verizon is FD-LTE where Sprint's spectrum is for TD-LTE, but remember Hybrid FD/TD LTE chipsets are already on the market. All Sprint has to do is get Verizon to sign a contract and put a 700/800/1900 mhz antenna in for LTE.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Wimax and TD-LTE are fairly similar actually..but if you really have doubts they are going to go hybrid:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/beceems-bcs500-4g-modem-splices-wimax-and-lte-into-one-chip-sa/

And there is a lot of demand for wimax around the world...
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Physycal keyboards need to go.They add extra size and weight and most of all they make the whole phone not "solid".

My girl used physical keyboard like 20-50 times at most but uses Swype 99% of time and I used it 10-20(to play emulators but touchscreen was better for that too) and the sliding mechanism is already shaky.

Unless they can make a sliding mechanism that never wears out-keyboards are bad idea.

And I really hope that Sprint switch to LTE so I can take my Epic back and get full refund just in time for Galaxy 2.

[Epic 4G General] pipskicks:
Weird I had swype on my Hero plus there are swype "knock-offs."

I actually love the keyboard, with a decent amountof texting/emailing it's really helpful, they even made an Evo with one! That being said I picked the Epic mostly due to the keyboard but if it was the Shift and Evo I'd pick power.

I admit the screen is nice but that and a slight edge in power is the only benefit I see with the Epic...
[Epic 4G General] stud_muffler:
Sprint just tweeted that they are coming with a new phone on Feb.24th and asking what it would be...

My guess it's an Epic 2!

[Epic 4G General] PokeAsheep:
+50 gazillion...yeah,i am in love with this.... I hope it makes it out of the concept stage some day

Epic is as Epic does
[Epic 4G General] jokrak:
I definitely got the Epic for the keyboard. I'm bilingual, so when texting, I might use different languages, and that bogs down swype/swiftkey too much by inserting the incorrect words all the time. Using the keyboard makes it very easy, although I prefer the keyboard on the G1 to the Epic (something about the flat keys make it easier for me to press adjacent keys, I guess).

Not sure which platform I'll choose next time...WP7 looks mighty tempting, specially with Nokia on board...I have many fond memories of my 8800/9300/E61. Of course, won't abandon Android completely...rooted nook color rocks!

[Epic 4G General] swanysto:
I would rather have the Epic or Evo than pretty much any phone Verizon, Tmobile, or ATT have to offer. I would consider a Droid X, but only cause the camera takes gorgeous pictures. The Atrix sounds nice, but I wanna see reviews from xda members before I consider it better than what sprint has.
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
On Sprint's Twitter today, they said they are announcing a new phone Thursday. It must be a real gem though if they aren't pimping it even close to the same as the Crapycera dual screen disaster. Probably another feature phone.

[HD2 General] samson291:
I’ve currently got a HTC Touch Pro and I’m thinking about maybe buying a HD2 which I can get on eBay for about £170 - £200 and that’s quite a lot of money so I want to be sure before I buy it. What has mainly gotten me interested in this phone is the fact it can run Windows Phone 7 which looks lovely. A few things I’m unsure about is the size and the fact this phone doesn’t have a hardware keyboard, I’ve used a friend’s HD2 before but only for a few minutes. Anybody here upgrade to the HD2 from a phone with a hardware QWERTY keyboard how did you find getting use to the onscreen one, was it better?

Thanks :)
[HD2 General] PloniAlmoni:
It can run WP7, but it's a bit of a hack, you basically can't "activate" it to get apps from the marketplace or other xbox live services without calling Microsoft and getting a gullible representative on the line, which are hard to come by because by now they've mostly been briefed on this.

Also, who knows when nodo comes out in March if the old ROMs will still function indefinitely, nodo itself will have to be hacked in order for it to accept sideloading which Microsoft has stated they'd close. Also half the reason why the closed-source WP7 works so well on the HD2 is because it was prototyped on the HD2, the ROMs available now are based on those prototypes, after nodo, that also won't be the case, necessitating the making of drivers for a closed-source OS with no native SDK.

I don't want to sound negative, but my experience with WP7 is that it's not a "daily driver" on the HD2, and unlike Android on the HD2 is very much an unfinished work with an uncertain future due to Microsoft locking up the platform. It is fun to play with though, and I think you'd enjoy the HD2 in general, but if what you want is a WP7 phone, you probably should buy a WP7 phone.
[HD2 General] SuperXM1ke:
I bought the HD2 for use as a student/scientist to be able to communicate with work effectively through email along with mobile office and all the great features it has. The lack of qwerty keyboard is made up for by the large screen. It gives a touch screen keyboard a lot of real estate to work with. But I just recently decided to install android on it instead of upgrading to WM7. That has made me love this phone. You can keep WM6.5 on the phone as well as install android for all the fun quirkiness you need. It has made this phone perfect for me. This phone is like a mullet: Business in the front (windows), party in the back (android, and by back I mean SD card).
[HD2 General] Nick.C:
I had a Desire and moved on to the HD2 about a month ago - the larger screen makes using the touch keyboard easier.

A side effect of booting Android off an SD card (as I do) is that a *full* backup of the installation can be made by simply copying the contents of the relevant directories on the SD card. Also, the data.img file (equivalent to the data partition on a phone where the O/S is installed in EEPROM) can be resized (with some care) to a larger size if needed.
[HD2 General] stepthehen:
Should you buy an HD2?

YES.

Firstly WP7 works properly and is

EASY

to activate via MS helpline.(1 phone call approx. 2 mins). There is a ton of support for you and any questions or problems you have, right here on this site.

A bit of a hack?... Yes, well this is XDA and I'm pretty sure you know that and are comfortable with it already.

WP7 on the HD2 works better (faster) than on the HD7!!!!

Secondly if you don't like WP7 as an everyday OS (are you ill?) then you can have WM6.5, Android, Ubuntu, Meego and even Win 95/98 or I think I read somewhere XP????

Why would you even ask if you should buy one?

£200 is cheap (£400+ rrp) compared to anything else on the market especially when you look at the specs and performance of those devices compared with the HD2.

I've had to upgrade my SD Card for £30, but I didn't have to fork out £300 for HD7, and I was going to upgrade anyway to fit more music on.

As for the soft keyboard...what can I say? It's bigger than the hard keys you've got at the minute and the Touch Screen works great.

The only question you should be asking is;

Why hasn't everyone got an HD2?

No matter what you prefer as an OS, the HD2 has got you covered thanks to the hard work of some great people on XDA, Cotulla and Bepe @ DFT and lots of others, too many to name here.

Essentially the HD2 will do what you want it to do when you want it to do it. And if what you want to do is sell it, for a new iPhone or HD7 (seriously, you may want to book some time with your GP), then plenty of people on here will want to buy it.

BUY... BUY... BUY....
[HD2 General] stepthehen:
Negativity

WP7 on HD2 is a hack, yes, but this is the XDA site, and if you're here, you're probably already comfortable with that fact.

WP7 works properly and is EASY to activate via MS helpline.(1 phone call approx. 2 mins). There is a ton of support for you and any questions or problems you have, right here on this site.

HD2 was the test bed for WP7 on HTC devices, and HD7 is a slightly worse re-worked version of the HD2, so any future HD7 updates will be portable to HD2 which, if experience is an indicator, will run them better than HD7.

The Chevron7 unlock guys have been talking with MS about their sideload app, and although MS are going to close the loophole, Windows is Windows...infinitely hackable.

You may not be trying to sound negative, but you're not doing a very good job.
[HD2 General] jonny68:
Definitely buy a HD2 and run Android (NAND) and you'll never look back.;)
[HD2 General] jackal992:
Hi! I'd like to buy an hd2 too. My questions (in part you have already answered) are the following: i would buy an used hd2 to run above all android (and maybe occasionally i could try wp7 or the original wm6.5). But worth buying an hd2 for an unofficial rom? and android on hd2 is stable as the official one? has it problems (maybe it freezes...)? thank you very much!!!
[HD2 General] stepthehen:
Running WM6.5 I stuck with HTC ROMs, but WP7 means Custom is the new Standard. I don't know about Android, there is a seperate forum, I've never used it, too happy with WP7 (WM6.5 is also very good functionally), which works perfectly if you do it properly. See the posts on this forum about SD Cards.

In short, if you've thought about buying an HD2 you've made a mistake. JUST DO IT, you (probably) wont regret it.

I offer no guarantees on your experience when you decide to purchase. My experience has been awesome.

I am not paid by HTC to advertise their product, however if they offered to pay me, I would gladly advertise the HD2.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
I have a Touch Pro & bought the HD2 about a month ago. It is a good device. In my opinion Android is not that special & WM7 is not worth the hassle.

I find Energy WM6.5.x build ROMs superb, rock solid with great GUI of sense & CHT.

The only thing better in Android is available games, Android platform itself is far from ground breaking & graphically dull as dull can get.

On screen keyboard options are good with WM although I still prefer a hard keyboard but the HD2 is good becuase of the huge screen & of course the SnapDragon.

Viewing websites is also far easier with the large screen & Opera 10 or 9.7.

You won't go far wrong with a HD2 if you are up to speed on modding WM, W7 & Android will leave you with problems (W7) or dull OS (Android).

Everyone is different but at least with the HD2 you can have many platforms in one device if you so wish.
[HD2 General] jackal992:
ok. thanks a lot!! last question: i already tried to change bootloaders and roms in previuos winmo phones, luckily always all was ok. But in the hd2 is enough simple change bootloader/radio? i know that there are always risks but i've seen a lot of threads about "bricked" and "dead"/no more usable hd2. My question then is: if you follow carefully instructions of cookers is enough improbable that you brick your phone?? is this true? sorry for my bad english!

ps: can i trust buying used hd2 that already have android or however unofficial roms? This doesn't mean that these phones are "bricked", is this correct? even better then i may not have to change radio, correct? thank you very much!!
[HD2 General] stepthehen:
First Time

I only found out about Custom ROMs, flashing and Bootloaders 3 weeks ago, the first time I flashed everything worked. The HD2 is very stable, the ROMs on this site can be very stable.

Read the instructions carefully, make sure you have everything you need and a few hours spare to do the work. If you do this everything will be fine.

The Radio, MAGLDR and HSPL are as easy to install as a stock ROM, once you've read the instructions available.

NOW GO BUY YOUR HD2!!!!

NOW INSTALL WP7!!!
[HD2 General] samson291:
Thank you all for the replies and your be happy to know that I brought a HD2 yesterday on eBay for £177 I can't wait to get my hands on it =-D
[HD2 General] Mister B:
I would prefer to buy a stock device rather than one that could of been subject to a lot of flashing ect.

Also try to buy the revision model identified by having yellow reset button rather than red.

These are reported to have better motherboards & screen assemblies (HTC revised model due to large amount of motherboard & screen fault warranty returns)

If buying used don't buy anything that sounds a bit iffy, HD2 is not a cheap or simple device to fix.

no Bootani anymore

ok so im a bit of a novice flash whore but ive not seen this , i downloaded Pr 5.2JS5, then upgraded the new "c' kernal, all doing well except i cant get the tts.apk to install (stole it from FF 2.2), (ohwell) but i changed my bootani to the new "ashes" via renaming and putting in system/media (overwrite).. now i have nothing....its pauses with a black screen for the alotted time as is there would be one, then it loads the home screen. i tried to revert to the original one by downloading it from -hq , but same result ... did i screw up?

EDIT: This Q&A is a nice touch , i read the hell outa the dev forums, but still have some basic questions now and again .. Thanks!!

Edit: so i pulled the original Bootani from the system/media from a copy on my pc and reapplied it and it works , there may be an issue with the compatability of the "add ons" boot animations at phoenix-hq and the current version "5.2' at the moment , so i guess patience is in order....still having force closes after applying the ttsservice.apk to the rom from other roms..... force closes.

edit: so i hope this helps someone else cause its makin me look like an idiot....the file need for the "Voice input/output" in the settings to stop FC's is "PicoTts.apk", i stole it from the "PR 5.2 JSY" and placed it in the "PR 5.2 JS4"...works fine now! .. but i hear that "adam" isnt going to be supporting the JS4 build any longer....sheesh. lol

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeDV:
Just to be clear... you've already flashed your Captivate to a 2.2 ROM? If so, which one are you on currently?

1. I don't know of any videos specific to flashing phoenix, however there are videos available on the forums that demonstrate the flashing process (which you've apparently already done once). The process is fairly straight forward even when just following written instructions.

2. Are you talking about playing your call via a built in phone system (such as the previously mentioned sync?)

3. All the Phoenix ROMs have been solid, so I would always recommend going with the latest.
