Why should anyone convince you? If you don't like it, don't need it or don't want it..... leave it.
But if others like to fool around with there Prophet, don't argue either. If anything in live should have a practical reason the world would become a gray dull place to be, don't you think?
(Now is gray a color that matches perfectly with the HTCTouch theme by the way.... )
Who cares if it is usefull to flash anyway... It just fullfils some basic need we aparently seem to have in us.
I have windows mobile 6 running on my Prophet (Smart1 V3) and for me it is a lot faster than wm5. Not more stable, but stable enough. But a hell of a lot faster...
WM6.... HUMM Well it´s a lot faster that (default speed not overclocking.) WM5 .. but my main problem is that it mixes my contacts with mails and sim contacts .. i hate that ... In terms of stability i think it´s the same.. and if anyone can insert the portuguese keyboard layout .. that whould be wonderfull.. that whould make this perfect

No need to explain. Windows 98 and 2000 were also so stable and clean. But we are at Vista now. If you choose to stay where you are, you learn nothing, you progress nothing, and you are nothing.
The speed, the inherent keyboard and its facilities, the sms versalities in file management, the Cube, the HTC Home additional photo contact pics, there are lots of little nitty gritty embedded with minor improvements...
All of these shows we are on the move, and not at the stone age.
Yes, there are instabilities, and with third party softwares you might crash and burn. But we can't wear helmets all the time when we are on the street... We need to live boldly and meet the challenges. If you care to venture into this forum, you are already the one who feels itchy to move, otherwise, you are still using the good old grand father's phone at home with fixed networks.
SeaPea is a bit aggresive~
I give 4.0.0.0.6touch another try and experience more bug ...
Pray pray pray for better ROM

Ok, here it is. I have a tytn (herm200) rogers provider in Canada. This part is tough to say, I'm getting old and I can't see the stupid time anymore so I would like to upgrade this thing to wm6 so I can have the larger display (ok so thats a pathetic reason) Can someone tell me what is the safest, simplest, most stable way to get that. Everything else is fine. I use for text email notes etc. I'm on the road a lot. If you make it simple, I'm glad to make a contribution. Thanks in advance and have mercy on an old man.

Maybe you could just add the htc home cab (do a search) this way you can have a GIANT clock. If you really want to upgrade to WM6 its pretty easy. Check out the WIKI and Load Hard SPL before you try to upgrade. I was a little nervous my first time but once you put hard spl on your phone changing ROMS is easy and addicting.
Thanks, I spent today reading (with glasses) and it is kind of intimidating but HTC and Rogers are no help and there seem to be so many choices in terms of roms and the danger of an expensive brick looming over my shoulder
what exactly do you mean by larger display? maybe you can just change the size of text and install the htc large start menu and large title bar. dont know if they both work in wm5 though
something like the standard wm6 screen would be great

If you want to flash you should do as indicated, and start by reading through the Wiki. Then go and read through the MrVanx guide for HardSPL. Don't flash without loading it first! Here's where you can download HardSPL. After that you just need to find yourself a good ROM. I'm currently running this one on my Hermes and so far I like really it.
But if you don't want to go to the trouble of flashing, but just want a bigger "clock" on your Today screen, then I'd recommend looking into the Pocket Digital Clock Today plugin from ProjectION. It will give you a big digital clock on your Today screen. I've attached a capture of my screen for your reference. Good luck with your flashing!
Thanks for the advice. Got brave last night (the tequila helped) and put in the hard SPL then tried Schapp 4.22. I like it but I dont have enough memory I guess, its kind of slow. Trying to find a light version now

Schaps makes excellent ROM's. But if you're going Schaps I'd recommend his latest 4.30 ROM, rather than 4.22. Or if you want to go up to Windows Mobile 6.1 then try the Faria / Dr Puttingham ROM I linked in the previous post. It's actually a little faster, and it's a Big Storage ROM so you'll get a little more breathing room for installing applications.
Hi
first sorry for creating this thread if u feel its a wast
im sure all here are going to buy new WM phones and i thought the best i can do for my buddies here is to give u a feed back on my Touch 3G
1. The phone is real fast very very good lot of mem space good enough
2. The battery to my knowledge is good it gives around 2 days for a heavy user like me
3. the phone is very very sleek and nice looking
4. This is bad -
if u need to soft reset this phone u need to open the back panel and then use the stylus to soft reset ie the soft reset is in the phone and not at the bottum as in our gene this is very irritating but then u have SW to do this and i have installed one to do so (im using pocket toolman for this)
5. to see the SPL u need to get to the tricolor secreen ie boot secreen
u cant see on the start screen when u power on the phone
6. wifi is real good i caught a few wifi at bangalore and was able to browse
im not a techi so i just stated the simple facts i hope this is useful to all
and yes the Jade section is not even half as active as this great section
and yes yes i really miss my gene
and yes i do love all u guys( i mean brother sisterly OK im happily married pls dont take it otherwise OK)
Thanks for the review buddy. I knew that apart from keyboard, there is nothing missing in this phone. BTW buddy, does it have FM Radio? I have also talked about a us imported 3g enabled diamond for around 15K. I initially thought about Touch Pro but i had wrong info, the price is still ridiculously high at Rs 32,000. So i dont think i will be able to buy it anytime soon.
Diamond that come in India doesn't have 3G, but this model that i am talking about is from US and is working great on 3G here, it belongs to one of my friend, about 4 months older. Lets see if i can get the deal.
thanks haree
hi! haree

Well maybe yaar, but i will choose this phone if i have no other choice. This is not beacuse phone is not good, its great. But this time i have two requirements, atleast a vga screen and keyboard, out of which i dont think i m going to have keyboard as htc is pretty f***** up in the market, they dont have any decent handset with hardware keyboard in the range of 18-25K which is the thing why people prefer nokia even though they want a winmo. In Windows Mobiles, you get less features for the price you pay, thats a bitter truth and its all because monopolists like htc make it so. Though samsung and some others like imate and o2 have good devices, people like us stay away from these coz of support issues, like it is for htc devices on xda.
Anyways, so atleast i am gonna have a VGA, 3G handset with Wifi, GPS and FM radio. SO i guess i would go for the 3G diamond if possible. Otherwise, if there will be no option, i will be there in Jade forum
PS: Sorry for some bad words, i am feeling a bit angry with HTC. They really dont have left any choice for "budget" buyers, although a 18-25K phone can certainly not be considered as a "budget" phone, if you look at average salary structure in India these days.
@krazy buy it man
hi
but all said and done im having fun using this phone getting a lot of attention few days back i was at my customers place he loved my phone so much and it looks good man sleek & sexy man(see now im trying to convince u to by as i know how good it is for me )
but it feels good i am getting a lot of attention with this phone
any way im sure even if u buy a new phone ur gona keep ur gene and this section wont miss u
if there will be no option, i will be there in Jade forum
@sumeet
Why don't you go for android-based phones?there is one for 19 k with a vga screen +keyboard+hardware GPS+wifi

Hey Hari, just for your information, HTC has released a ROM upgrade for your Touch 3G. It solves some issues with the device related to Wifi, GPS, Camera and most probably a newer, more faster version of Opera. It was released on 17-4-2009, so you may already have it, but do check it out, if its newer, upgrade your phone. The update is here :
http://www.htc.com/in/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=541&news_id=146
Its an official ROM you dont need to flash HSPL to your device. It will work without any problem.Just download, backup your data and flash it.
Have fun with your new toy!
@Blueangel: Angel dear, even if i have to be with my gene for 2 more years, i am not gonna go with any other OS now. You have missed some of my posts regarding my love for this OS i guess
Anyways, Android is too immature of a platform for my needs. Even Symbian 5th edition is better then going with android. I dont have a liking towards linux based platforms personally, i dont feel at home with these.
Thanks for your suggestion by the way
hey dude wht's the price?
@Krazy Thanks
hi
thanks for the info i did chek but when i put my serial no it said this is not for my mobile thanks buddy for the info

My sentiments, I will also never go for any other OS but WinMo, and most likely no other manufacturer but HTC (no credit to HTC though, thanks to xda).
But lets see, a new forum is coming up pretty fast, to support non htc devices .

hi haree, is the jade better than the diamond cause i think they are abt the same price (at least here)?
Depends on your needs, although spec wise diamond is better with all the specs of Touch 3G plus in addition, FM Radio, VGA screen and 3D Graphics Hardware Chip powered TouchFLO 3D interface. But in some countries, Diamond doesn't come with 3G capabilities and it has a smaller sized battery (900 mAH).
I think I will buy a vga or wvga,wqvga whatever a bigger screen, I prefer a windows Mobile with usb host capability,plus a good camera pixel like 5 or 8mp. I think this model wont be with Htc. I have decided to use this gene as must as I can till I find the stuff.Sometimes I wanna buy N97, but then as always nokia will disappoint me, coz I cant change the appearance or performance like windows mobile, hell with nokia no windows only symbian.
@Lewelynn
hi
im from India and the diamond is not available as 3G yes their is the Diamond 2 which is a 3G phone but very costly here(INR29,000) as i wanted a 3G phone this was in my budget i got this phone but if u can get a dimond3G for the same price as the Touch 3G in ur county may be u should by it as it has M3D but u cant upgrade the Memory on it has 4GB on the phone thats all but as per my info i can upgrade the jade to 32GB of Memory i really don't see myself using more the existing 4GB memory i have
but performance wise im happy its fast, decent battery life for me im happy

there is no use of 3g in india , it take more 1-1.6 years to start it, crap provider like mtnl has it but it not yet implemented fully in mumbai also 3g drain your battery fast as compares to edge gprs and need more powerful battery
The day after I flashed WM6.5 on my Prophet,it became slower and slower,on the contrary,my desktop computer become faster,for I have updated it a few days ago.
My Prophet,such as my close friend,belongs one important thing in my daily life.I'm a cooker from mainland China,I started to flashed my phone since the second month I bought it in April,2007.After my college entrance examination in June,2007,I became crazy at flashing all the new roms I can found all over the world.A young man,called Gullum,gave me some help.I also got some help from the forums in my country,such KK,Consam,XJ,youzi,etc.Thanks all of their hard working,so our Prophet can keep updating from WM5.0 to WM6.5.
Today,my Prophet is become old,and often founded some problem by sudden.I wanna to buy a new phone,such as HD,or Diamond II.I donot know which is more suitable to me.Can you all give me some suggestions?
Thanks a lot,and please forgive my broken English written.

Personally id buy an HD, just for the screen size, but then im going to say that as i have one hehe..... As for 6.5 on our prophet, the Rom takes up too much storage and requires more hardware than our beloved prophet can reasonably give, even if overclocked.
Also, as this is an english fourm, please also post a translation if speaking in another language.
ps, i sold my prophet with varanus 6.1 manila which imho was the best working rom.

Thx!!!I think HD is better,but it's too large to handle,it's a big problem to my little hands.
I know 6.5 rom takes up too much storage on our Prophet,and in China,6.5 seems not as suitable as 6.1 to Chinese people.Ha～Ha～
And the Chinese language,some words is useless to others except Chinese people,such as discussed some cookers in China,so that's why I did it.

OLED in upcoming models.
Tg01 will have a perfect driver combination after this release. Due to similar hardware concept. If ported.
Hope we might get a branded wm6.5.3 ROM in mere future.
lmao adding querty , and being even thinner
adding an 4.1 OLED screen despite the tg01 tg02 k01 all have the same 4.1 non OLED screen
.... dont believe everything , use common sense please ....
I believe it will be called K01 internationally. IS02 is an au KDDI name.

told ya ..
K01 is 7inches. this should probably be tg02. but any how the UI is bettr in the pic. this can be ported to tg01. That is my idea. we can get all negatives rectified by porting wht all we wanted like radio OS ui n many more. Definetly they would have rectified n improved all defects errors mainly battery drivers. its wm6.5.3 were grphics should be the size of our tgo1 4.1inches.
Day by day our tg is becoming stronger n stronger. lot of chefs to cook better roms,port anything maximum we need.
Due to the failure kinda image to tg01 made them chng name to iso2.
which companies product r these n which going to rule out.

Here's a few pics. Let me know if you need anything else.

A good article I found that goes into the differences:

its not a dumb question , i wish i could answer it , but i dont have a x02t (chin?) or t01a (jap) version of the toshiba , but i think it will be the same situation as those devices versus the tg01
u should read up on those in the rom section for info ...
also how much did u pay for it ?
60000 yen (about $600 US dollars)

you neednt apologize. your information is very important for us you have done great job by posting these images. your rom is worth, stay with it, dont try anything else unless u get one or a need, your rom contribution will be useful for chefs who cook romz for tg01.

There's nothing remarkable about them that was not there when the TG01 was released in June last year. A capacitive touchscreen updated the TG01 and the AMOLED Capacitive display and QWERTY sliding keyboard as well a more capable 3D user interface are the only things differentiating the K01.
Its time for the chef to think about cooking k01 rom for tg01.
