My phone right now doesn't have WiFi ;D

However, I get a free upgrade in about a month. Then I'll have a better phone

Wifi was once very awesome, but now every Wifi you can ever find is secure :P

Wizzard, awesome! you need to install CoolCamera if you havnt already, it makes the pictures and videos WAY better.
so I take it your already a member of xda-developers?[/quote]

yeah i check xda developers every once in a while. i've never written any code for those ROMs tho.

and i'll look into CoolCamera, thanks for the tip.
 
Anyone wanna swap an AT&T Treo 750 with pristine screen for an AT&T tilt ? I'd much rather have Wi-Fi, and I used to have the MDA by T-Mobile, and loved it.....No scratches, no dings, no bats (wait a minute....) excellent shape - original screen protector NEVER removed - any takers ? :D
 
I have the HTC Touch, but fully customized. Different home screen, iPhone style unlock (slide thingy), overclock feature :D and some improvements. I actually love this phone, never want to go back to a normal one. Gotta love the touchscreen and the OS :)

the Tilt is a great phone, however HTC screwed us with it's qualcomm processor. it was the first ever Pocket PC to use this new Qualcomm Processor. They should have just stuck with Xscale, it's much faster. the Qualcomm processor doesnt have any drivers and it's just slow, but luckily some Drivers are FINALLY being developed by the guys on xda-developers. if all goes well, hopefully we should be able to play Quake 3 at decent speed, no guarantee tho.
 
In my opinion, what makes a good phone compared to others, is if you can install 3rd party apps and there is more than just what comes with the phone. A phone gets boring when your stuck with what it comes with.
 
I got the O2 Atom Exec, wanna buy the HTC Touch Pro when it comes out.
 
I've learned not to buy from HTC until people do some tests on the devices, the kaiser was an big EPIC FAIL cause the qualcomm processor couldn't support much making it terrible in speed. Then they just kept releasing more devices with the qualcomm processor. Xscale was the best, they need to go back to it.
 
I just ordered a Nokia 6220 classic unocked from ebay. This is a Symbian S60 smartphone with HSDPA high-speed data (3.5G), a 5 megapixel camera with a Carl Zeiss lens (and lens cover) and built-in GPS. Oh yeah, nice little nifty xenon flash which basically makes even the best LED flashed pictures look like no flash was used. This phone is not out in the states, and probably won't come out in the states like about half the phones nokia makes. The N82 is the only phone that even comes close to the 6220 classic for pictures, but it is very big and looks and handles like crap. Unfortunately my phone does not have wifi or an accelerometer for auto rotate, but I will probably get internet service and I don't see myself rotating the phone hardly ever except to take a picture ( and the screen rotates on its own when you open the lens cover). The nokia n95 and upcoming n96 are both great phones too, but both lack xenon flash and are actually noticaeably slower to go into picture mode and capture a picture.

So here is my take on the iphone. Can the iphone record 640x480 video at 30 frames per second? Can it do anything that is even like that at all in any way? Hmm, very hard choice here. Do I want to record standard tv resolution video with unlimited recording time (up to 8gb with the microSD card, which did come with my phone) and good quality encoding, or do I want to zoom in and out of pictures and rotate them using two fingers at once? Is there anything that any touchscreen can do that is nearly as useful or fun, or even as cool as a fully functioning video camera? I would say it's not a VERY hard choice here, people. The only reason anybody should ever even consider an iphone is if they know nothing about technology and have a hard time figuring out which button to push. My uncle is one of those types and I wholeheartedly embraced his decision to go with the Iphone 3g. I am not like that, and so here was most of my thought process when it came down to it:


"Iphone or You(tube)phone? hmmm...ding"



Anyways I should be getting my phone by next week so feel free to inquire about it. I'll do anything I can to save undeserving souls from the iphone shackles. The iphone is just presented in a totally dishonest way. Pretty much every single touchscreen phone has an accelerometer and a proximeter exactly like the iphone does, but all of a sudden people think this is a big deal and exepnsive and advanced for a cell phone. Unlike the iphone other clone phones have better cameras (LG viewty is 5mp, embarrasingly more capable) and features that are actually useful like landscape keyboarding and microSD card slots. It is fine though, because I know for certain that apple has only omitted these very basic and simple features so that in case they can't figure out enough new cool things for the iphone 4g they can fall back on adding in some "cool" features which should have been standard from the get go with the original iphone. They are totally admitting, by leaving out these extremely simple and almost free to implement things, that they might be so stupid they can't come up enough cool stuff to sell enough phones next time.

While I am at it, thanks Nokia, for being like apple for just a split second. Is there one techonolgical or maufacturing reason the N95 and n96 don't both have xenon flash, and the 6220 classic has no wifi? No, there absolutely is not. You aren't apple, but I won't pretend you never will be.
 
awesome! i love symbian phones! i like windows the most and symbian comes second, If they have a really neat touchscreen s60 phone I may consider buying it. Are there any currently you recommend? I know symbian supported music.

On my Tilt i use my touchscreen for easier use of programs, not because I'm an iphone person who relays on a touchscreen to function. It makes games like warcraft II able to be played! haha (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyI1QV8hJ6E)
Also i use the touchscreen for drawing, and getting somewhere faster, rather than pushing till i get where i want. However I do use my D-pad just as much.
 
You know what it is a funny thing but I can't think of a symbain phone that has a touchscreen at the moment. Pretty much the only feature I care about having on my phone at all is the best possible camera and storage. Far and away the 6220 classic is the winner for a good foreseeable future with the only possible ankle biter being the moto zn5 w/ a kodak camera. I can't beleive this crap, I actually was trying to take a picture of something today and my pheonw as full of crap so I had to delete some stuff. Sorry, not working out there at all. Peace shit phone, hello camera phone.
 
i got a moto slvr. the only thing i dont like about it is that the memory card goes under the battery. i plan on upgrading to a pda maybe in the future.
 
i have the at&t 8525. it looks like the tilt posted on the first page. gotta admit the doom for the phone was pretty freekin sweet
