As for the performance and speed, Iphone is good.The looks also is fantastic and stylish.If you are a music lover, the ipod function w/ builtin 8gb or 4 gb storage is good enough to play your favorite songs for long time. Touch & scrolling is fantastic. So for me iphone is a simple phone, ipod & very less PDA function. Why? a lot of us is using Windows Mobile since we have PC mobile. Iphone is a OS X system, a system based from MAC OS. You can count the program that iphone have that you use before. I need Isilo but this program cant run to Iphone. The only advantage I can see is the safari browser & youtube. If you are on the wifi, browsing thru ur iphone is superb. That's it. The only main thing here is the HYPE of having an Iphone. Yet I can say that it will now give you so much headache regarding bugs except to 3rdparty program that not yet really made for iphone. To be fair, Iphone is a great phone with IPOD, period ;-) Maybe after more months, we can now enjoy a lot of program on iphone that we use to enjoy in our windows mobile.
Well About XDA ATOM (Atom Pure for me) , this is one of the goodwindows mobile i've seen. This became great because of Jiggs ROM. No more words i can say, in terms of PDA function and everything, this is great PDA Phone. There are cons but as a whole package its good. In my own opinion, its better than HTC touch. IF i compare this in IPHONE, this have a better PDA function.
So the conclusion, which one you want to buy? or which one will stay on ur palm. Its up to your needs and wants. IT's UR CHOICE, both have good side.
Thats why i have both;-) hehehe just kidding.
One of the thing about music is.. how much music can it play? I'm using Storage card, and default WMP, which gives me about 20% battery per hour. So, that is, if I have a full charge, and wanted to leave 20% of battery for the phone function, that would take me.. about 4 hours. It may be less than that because that time, I was on the train, which it gets connect/disconnect which may make it to 4.5 - 5 hours. How does the iPhone one this? Consider their 8G capacity.
However, having said, with all the functionality of WM phone, I still think the non-instant, hour-clock waiting of WM is still an issue. A lot of Palm users like to stick to Palm mainly due to the fact that Palm OS has an instant responds (most of the time).. rather than WM's short wait.

wow all moderators are coming to comment on this. Do you love IPHONE? hehehe
love it a strong word
but i think many of us like that new innovation and competition is brougth to the table to keep ms, htc and the rest on their toes
yeah, this will make other pda brand and maker be better and compete to iphone. Look out HTC, they introduce TOUCH. well having an iphone to the market benefits the consumer not only iphone users.

O2 XDA Flame Against Apple iPhone Comparison
http://www.iphoneworld.ca/iphone-editorials/2007/02/20/o2-xda-flame-against-apple-iphone-comparison/
o2 XDA flame compare to IPHONE...LOL how about our XDA atom? hehehe
O2 ATOM is better!
Form factor, O2 ATOM is actually smaller compared to the IPHONE; eventhough the IPHONE is alot slimmer.
O2 ATOM is pretty nice to hold once I put the black rubberized covers on it to protect it.
The cool things I like about the ATOM are -
1) Its on a platform that provides lots of apps to play with.
2) I like the fact that our ATOM has A2DP which allows for Stereo bluetooth headphones.
3) The Radio function is really nice to have.
4) Now with HTC Touch cube working on the ATOM, its for finger friendly than before and easier to navigate around apps, etc.
5) With the new HTC T9 Keypad, I can SMS without using my stylus anymore!
ATOM is a all-round champion for its price and features/functions!
The smooth IPhone graphics is overrated anyway. Plus there's alot of copy-cat apps that mimic the Iphone themes on PocketPC environment.
Plus I find the Iphone a little too long for my liking. ATOM is still nice to hold and comes with a pretty zippy processor!
I am here from the future to announce the Anti-Anti-AP ROM. It supports features not even imagined yet by HTC engineers, will destroy the Anti-AP ROM (even the german edition) and restore AP4 to its rightful place in the Universe as the ROM that changed the world.
Let me put it this way, if AP4 is not released, the world becomes a very dark and different place within 10 years. It all starts with the launch of a spy satellite running Windows Mobile and the Anti-AP ROM. A bug in a hacked up vueflo causes the thing to veer off course, utlimately resulting in a giant asteroid heading right for HTC headquarters in Taiwan... I'll spare you the details, suffice to say the Anti-AP rom will spell the end of our freedom, living in the shadows, hunted for sport by cyborgs designed by rogue scientists using the iPhone SDK 9.0. Ever try too outrun something with neutron lasers, nuclear hoverjets and Google Maps? You won't get far.
Immediately all must install:
Commander Olipro Athena Hard SPL variant 9 brainwave unlock thought pattern mechanism (alpha release)
PK AP ver 1.E+47 ROM
which includes support for:
Bluetooth 8.1
Playstation 9
VueFlo Quantum Edition
Slide2Unlock .99 (some things never change)
It can even run a ripped DVD of 'Big Mamas House' at close to an acceptable frame rate using CorePlayer 12 by BetaGeezer on the Imageon holochip (with acceleration turned off of course)
I leave you with this thumb drive based on the USB9 specification. Do it before it's too late...
lol. u guys come up with the best stuff. this is probably the best community i have been a part of. after giving the rom some testing with the bt while in work today i believe it is stable in 19202. this is very good news for everyone. i will need to send this rom to nikhil and ltxda to make sure. overall the rom seems to be even better than the 19181 build. i need to get the new build to everyone asap. the rom should be not too far off....

Believe me, EXCALIBUR (T-Mobile DASH, HTC S620) with the new Kavana's WM 6.1 ROM, opera MINI 4, External BT GPS and few tweaks is a STRONG competitor
I know, it seems foolish, but full kb, one hand use, landscape screen with the new sliding panel media interface... small. It is a young, sexy, lady compared with a famous porn actress: hard to chose every evening....

lol. tell u the truth though. i like the new version of the excalibur but everytime i touch a non touch screen phone.... my fingers goes for the screen anyway. its too weard. i might stray soon from htc and get the LG Vu from AT&T because of the mediaflo tv service coming soon. thats unless i get word of a htc phone that does the tv service too
no worries. i'll probably find the service overrated, will have the phone, and return it the next day if i do keep it then it'll be just for the tv service and will use athena and polaris for rest. i do highly doubt i'll keep it though. im too used to htc phones
I have and love a Kaiser. Right now I have a Dutty Rom on it and love it as I commute, on a train, about 3 hours a day.
Anyway, I made a bet (6 pack of beer) that I can use an Athena for a week instead of the Kaiser. [We have one that sits unused in our office]. I have the Black Rom on it and wasn't overly excited when I made the change.
What should I install to ease my life and win my bet?
Use TCMP for videos, the Athena has a nice big screen. Both the NetFront pre release and Opera leaked alphas are good for browsing the internet. I would recommend using RealVGA if you would like to really utilize the large screen, 96 DPI is awesome. Compared to the Kaiser the Athena has a bigger screen, more storage and at least on paper a faster processor. I personally use a software keyboard and ditch the magnetic one to reduce to size of the Athena.
does the RealVGA thing work on the kaiser also?

No, Kaiser isn't a VGA device and if it were, the 400MHz Qualcom would struggle. It would probably be dog slow.
what a stupid bet
Well ok, I no longer have an Athena and I got rid of my TyTn 2 after a week so perhaps it's not my place to comment..
BUT WHAT THE HELL KIND OF BET IS THIS????
Fine, the Athena is a bit big, but what the hell is your problem with applications? IT'S THE SAME OPERATING SYSTEM so it shouldn't be much of a hardship unless you're an absolute doink.
Perhaps a better challenge might have been to live with a Motorola StarTAC for a week....or even a Nokia 6210.

Hmmmm not so sure. Maligned as it might be I can't help but love the old N95 classic. I've got an 8gb card for it and it's the most satisfying phone I've ever used....still. it even has embedded flash support and an accelerometer so the screen rotates automatically when i turn the phone.
Unfortunately there's nothing in the Windows Mobile world to touch it yet - I'm very much a multimedia guy and there's nothing comes close to the carl zeiss optics of the N95, the 30fps video, the flash support, the hardware acceleration, the huge array of multimedia applications and (finally) proper GPS support with Garmin XT or Route66.
The nearest phone to the N95 in the windows mobile world is probably the TyTn 2 and i'll never go back to that again:it's an inferior toy in comparison.
I'd wager a bet you can't list five things i'd do on a Kaser that I can't do on an N95 (aside from the obvious outlook calender issue which is not an issue for someone like me who doesn't use outlook)
one day i'll be back though no doubt.

leoni1980 maybe you could be more specific. What do you do with your Kaiser and why do you like it? Why weren't you happy with the black rom on the Athena? Why is there an expectation of hardship/w Athena?
You said that there was a train commute. So . . .your thinking entertainment? To "ease your life,"; since we know nothing about you or your life that's a hard one. Don't you think?
In general: Windows mobile devices are all-in-one mobile devices that do alot of things ok/good. In my opinion, they rarely do anything specificly the best. Read e-books--likely the kindle does it better. Listen to music--buy an ipod. Surf the net--desktop or laptops are more powerful. And so on.
So you need to figure what it is you like to do. Then evaluate whether windows mobile fits your needs. Then tweak the Athena in that direction with hardware and/or software.
Seems alot of work for one week.
If I had a three hour commute, I'd surf the one-day deal sites, & winmobile/news sites. I'd read e-books, listen to music and do writing. Maybe listen to sleepy music/set my alarm and take a nap. I don't even use the phone side, rarely watch movies,have no use for a pim.
Another guy would want to chat on the phone, and watch tv. Still another guy would want to sms, play games . . .
Keep track of your time, finances, diet, movie collection, appointments . . . Facebook, chatrooms, twitter, look at porn, read the Bible . . .
I mean . . . you can do all kinds of things.
Hi there,
For anyone that has/used one of these I've got a few questions if you'd be able to answer...
1. Does the camera have a decent sounding speakerphone?
2. I presume it uses Opera as the web browser?
3. How does this feel in the pocket? I'm so unsure about the slanty bottom as if it is in the pocket, surely it doesn't feel that good?
4. Again, the slanty bottom... Does it make it hard to text in landscape mode?
If anyone has this and is using it, can you give us your feel compared to other phones. I have a Touch Pro 2 at the minute, and want to base this android vs windows mobile as they have more or less the same hardware.
Thanks
Hi there,
I do *not* have a Hero, waiting for its release...but I was at a local store today and they had dummy handsets, correct weight and size.
I asked to put one in my jeans pocket to see how it felt, and it was fine. I thought exactly like you but trust me, you cannot feel any major diff from a non angled phone.
That issue will be fine for you, trust me on it.

1. Played with both a white and Graphite handset... both felt extremely solid, had a great weight to them and build quality was superb.
Screen very responsive (along with the UI) and great visual quality.
Feel of teflon back was very soft and quite grippy. Both units have the coating. Prefer the white handset personally, but the graphite was also very very nice.
Metal trim around screen a great touch.
Feels a solid, comfortable quality product in the hand.
Easily pocketable, no issue with 'chin'. Not that I thought there would be.
2. No problems using the most excellent on screen keyboard landscape or portrait with very subtle haptic feedback. Accuracy of hitting the right 'keys' was not an issue, the keyboard seems to second guess what you're writing and offers very sensible and logical suggestions. Just hit space or suggested word to continue typing and have the word auto completed.
3. Browser very fast scrolling and multi touch with text re-flow makes most sites I visited a breeze to read. All appeared rendered very well.
Do I want a Hero ???
Oh YES

Where did you have a play? did they have any stock available?
It was not in a retail location. If it was I would have bought one there an then
The thing that still sticks in my mind is the quality feel the product has.
Nokia REALLY is screwed if this is what is appearing on the market. They are still delivering Nseries creaky plastic rubbish with an ancient UI... S60 5th Edition looks and works in such a dated way compared to Hero and iPhone 3GS.
N97 - the great amazing S60 handset... PAH.
Apple seriously have competition now hardware and UI wise. The availability of good quality apps is now the battleground.
What did you think to the speed then? Honestly? Was it fast loading messages, calendar, going into new applications? Or is it quite slow which I seem to be seeing on more and more YouTube apps.

this phone has no future its been stuck on wm6.5 that just doesnt work on this phone has too many bugs etc or wp7 whats totally usless on tg01 nothing works propperly and is just a usless phone for daily usage.
wm6.5 is dead and even the original orange rom for this phone is buggy and aftar usage it drops to like 40mb free ram.
mirom 8 cfc is the best so far but still has lots of bugs and makes using the phone horrible.
android well theres no android haha
wp7, no camera, sms dont work propperly, no accelerometer, browser is for multitouch so the double tap to zoom is not too good, iff battery goes too low phone does not charge,
general problems,
with all tg01 phones not just mine,
screen does not always turn on when pressing power button lags to turn screen on sometimes, anoying if wanting to do something quick.
accelerometer on this phone is usless for gaming because it does not work or lags that need htc sensor what most games need,
random hangs resets at times,
extremely bad for texting on,
poor battery life,
apparently theres 265mb of ram haha what the f*ck haha id believe it if they said 165mb free ram but 256 they must be on drugs or something as i have about 60mb free ram with nothing running and about 30mb free when using web :/
i cant be botherd going on now
boxed with all extra, usb, usb host cable thing, charger, 4gb mem card, rubber case, all other **** all fully working il take £30 for it.
Is it unlocked via IMEI? How often does it crash?
BTW: The power button thing. You may find that pressing another button (like the camera button) makes the screen wake.
its on orange but i will unlock it if any 1 wants it
...and the crashing? How often? Is this is like crashing once a day, once a week etc? Does it crash frequently on the stock orange ROM?
its just a normal buggy tg01 a pain in the arse on all roms
Well, I'm interested, just not till last day of month (pay day lol).

Hi jonny. I can not agree that this phone is horrible as You mentioned.
I do not know what people are doing with it every day, but for me as a person who
every day :
- do some calls, sms, mms
- use internet connection directly ( Opera ) or indirectly ( TG01 as a USB or bluetooth modem )
- from time to time use different GPS navigation software both for car and pedestrian and do some photos,
it simply works perfect. Mentioned resets are in my opinion due to either some damages in Your unit or bad rom. On the other hand maybe I do not use my phone too heavy to detects problems You are talking about.
For me as a software developer WM is the best even though it is dead as You mentioned. None android, never.

I do not know what people are doing with it every day, but for me as a person who
every day :
- do some calls, sms, mms
- use internet connection directly ( Opera ) or indirectly ( TG01 as a USB or bluetooth modem )
- from time to time use different GPS navigation software both for car and pedestrian and do some photos,
it simply works perfect. Mentioned resets are in my opinion due to either some damages in Your unit or bad rom. On the other hand maybe I do not use my phone too heavy to detects problems You are talking about.
For me as a software developer WM is the best even though it is dead as You mentioned. None android, never.

I should have to echo the above sentiments. I use the TG01 all the time for all appropriate tasks from voice, SMS, music and video player, camera occasionally, weather info D/L on tap, internet (IE) .... the list goes on. Yes, occasionally there is a need to soft reset but it is occasionally and nothing toget excited about. But I have refined my WM6.5 ROM to a point where it fits like a glove to what I want it to do and I have no particular inclination to go in the direction of WM&. I just don't like the GUI and in particular, the inability to tweak to my tastes. So, just like I ran the old e830 on WM2003SE right up to a couple of years ago and then made the 'plunge' to WM6.5 (big step!) I shall probably stick with a very useable WM6.5 for a long time and until such time as there is a worthy successor which will give me the same capabilities.....
Best regards,
Kevin
Hi Kevin.
I can only agree with You. Somewhere in the past I wrote that only
reason for me to change smartphone ( tg01 with WM6.5 ) will be its physical death.
So let my tg01 live long time

As mine did die at my own hands (WP7 upgrade went bad) and then I completely totalled it so it won't even power on eek!).. so I do need a new one.
I would like to buy it (Even though I have a LG Optimus 2X, I found the GPS more reliable on the TG01, and I like to record my cycle rides to and from work)
ive sold it got a htc titan now

Surprised you didn't an an HTC EVO 3D given the deal on at ASDA.

Jonny doesn't like Android
I was quite tempted at getting the EVO...
It's a reasonable upgrade from my Desire S, but I don't think its enough ..

Know what you mean... I'm only tempted to swap to it for the reasonable screen res 960*540 and the 1gig RAM on it, and for £229 that is damn good.
But... this is the problem.. I do want something that is better, but tegra 3 stuff is gonna be mega expensive :-(

Yeah I agree!
A major turn off for me is the 3D screen aswell, as the bulky design.
Had it been a Sensation, this would have tempted me more! (Even though its got 3/4 of this RAM)
For me, the EVO3D from Desire S, i only get a speed upgrade, bigger higher resolution display , better camera.
Everything else is more or less the same as my Desire S with the same UI.
I can tell you, HTC Android devices are fantastic, they really are much better than any other UI with Sense
I also saw your a regular GPS user, HTC provide great integration with their Location App. (Based on TomTom)
You should try one out! It may be a huge jump for from your 2X.
Did you get the 2X for £199 at Amazon by the way?

awww jhony how's your baby titan doin'? I am stuck with andoid for now, crashed screen on sgs2 and got DHD but not so much downgrade, as for EVO 3D oly dude thats not so big update for that kind of money. Sensation ok but EVO 3D is a epic fail so as optimus 3D, thats why sammy didn't want a 3D cellphone.
EDIT: by the way i sold my tg01 for 150 euros

Nice! Yeah, the 3D part really turned me off!
I'm very interested in the new One X series now
