So why go X2? I kinda regret buying X2 now, I definitely rushed it too quickly.. what are your guy's opinions?
X10, X10 Mini pro, or X2?
I'll be going with the X10 when it's released. Much of that has to do with the fact that I can't afford to buy a non-subsidized phone, and I'm still in contract, so I'm pretty much limited to what Rogers has to offer.
However, with that said, I'm fed up with Microsoft and how they handle WinMo so the X2 would be out. I bought an iPAQ 910c last year (running WinMo 6.1) with the intention to use OneNote Mobile. It worked well, but with Office 2010 MS has stated that the Office Mobile suite will only install on WinMo 6.5, of which there is no upgrade for the 910. Then they screw HD2 customers by announcing WinMo 7 and stating the HD2 won't be upgradeable. No thanks, I'll take Android.
The X10 Mini Pro jus looks too small for my use.
When i went to CeBIT in Germany I used it, it's pretty cool, but it's not the kind of phone I'd buy
that hw-keyboard has an awfull resemblance to the one on x1, doesn't it? let's see how long until the first complains like "hw-keyb not working anymore" show up...

Considering the fact that SE is no longer working with HTC, I doubt we'll have the keyboard issue.
That being said, the only phone that is a significant upgrade from the X1 is the X10. And so that's the only phone I would get...
keyboard looks pretty much the same... im sure it will be the same feel and performance to it. disappointed witht the sreen size and resolution. might as well stick with the x1
i dont see any other good winmo phones out that i would consider other than the hd2
by the looks of it tho, winmo os seems to be a dying breed... tho ms says they will still support winmo, i wont hold my breath. i think they are going more towards the zune type os.
if the new zune phones dont take off as they expect, then i can see a slim chance of winmo coming back.
i think i may just go with iphone for my next phone and thats if they ever come out with a better resolution phone.
I would have bought the standard x10 - if they also did a pro version of it with a hardware keyboard. Unfortunately, these 'mini' versions just don't cut it. I want the 4" screen *and* the keyboard!
Looks like I'll be sticking with my X1 for a wee while yet.

I was holding out hope for WM 6.5.X, but I think the fact that MS did not accompany the release of the T-Mobile HD2 with some sort of support statement for the future of WM 6.5.X is a really bad sign. It would have been the perfect time for them to announce some sort of robust two-pronged strategy. (Well they may have a two-pronged strategy, but one prong seems to be to stick into the heart of WM 6.5.X.)
Otherwise, that mini is way too mini for me.
Anyone seen the Vivaz Pro? It looks awesome except it's Symbian, which I know little about.
Too small .
i think it looks pretty cute

I bought the pro last weekends to replace my X2. I love it so far, small, light and loud speakers. I can hear my incoming SMS and calls now unlike before. Will be playing around with it for a couple of weeks before I totally get rid of my X2.

This saddens and excites me. I want it, but I just paid for my TP original. Bigger screen looks awesome! Here's the article I first found this info on:
HTC's Touch Diamond, and its QWERTY'd doppelganger the Touch Pro, have formally passed into their second generation:

Remember the HTC 2009 Roadmap leak back in January? Sure you do - it was a pretty big deal here in Windows Mobile land.
So, in what we've seen so far from MWC, was the leak right? Were the Touch Pro2 and Diamond2 on the roadmap? Yes, they were, and we can get a pretty good indication of what carrier is getting what through this roadmap.
The Diamond2 was the Topaz, and according to the leaked roadmap, AT&T will be getting this device, probably in time for holiday time 2009.
The Touch Pro2 is the Rhodium (or, a slight variation of it since it doesn't have a red keyboard). The Rhodium is going to Verizon, says the roadmap, though a variation of the Rhodium (perhaps without a tilting screen) called the Tungsten
, may be headed to Sprint and T-Mobile. Oh yes, and not picture here, the Saphire turned out to be the HTC Magic Android-based device.
Well isn't that just f'n dandy? They can't even realease proper working GPS without severe lag or improper tracking, of FM for that matter, but no less than 3 months after the release of the TP, which I also bought, they release the next big thing. Real smooth, HTC. I'm thinking this is my definite last HTC device.
They can now count me in as a very unhappy customer.
So far as I see the TP and TP2 are very similar:
Pluses Touch Pro:
+Dpad
-VGA Resolution
- VZW memory limited
Touch Pro 2:
+WVGA Screen
+Better Speakerphone (?)
+Zoom Slider (?)
-No Dpad
+Tilt Keyboard
Sooo...other than these, are all the changes software which we will see anyway?
PS - I just picked up Touch Pro today because I really do like the Dpad...

Funny, just a few short years ago, everyone wanted smaller phones. Now Bigger is better.
Just the opposite for laptops. Look at the massive sales of Netbooks over Laptops. Smaller is definitely "in" now there.
Not impressed
After i was done drooling over the new look of the the touch pro 2, i read the specs sheet and my burning desire to have it was put out. It does look really nice but i think that HTC could have done SOOO much better with it. The first thing i didnt understand was why they downgraded the camera. The kept it the same resolution but removed the flash!. I dont see why they couldnt up the tp2's camera to 5mp considering the fact the the diamond 2 and HD have5mp shooters. I know that the camera isnt evewrything in a phone but when a phone costs nearly 1000 unlocked, it should at least be passable. ANother thing was the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack. The HD, which has been out for a while, is practically the same phone (-the keyboard) and has one. Hasnt HTC learned from the many letters that users want a standard headphone jack? I myself hate dealing with connectors. I also dont like how HTC only modified some of the phone programs. The file explorer is still as finger hating as ever and the only thing that saved me on my tp was the d-pad. HTC shouldve done something because when paying that much 4 a phone, one does not want to shell out another $30 for a finger friendly file explorer. Well that was my rant. Tp2 looks nice but isnt much better then the tp1 (besides screen size and tilt).
yea when i first seen the release of these two devices i was real pumped for them to actually come out. But.... after reading the specs on the TP2 the only major changes were the screen and tilt function. It still has same processor and memory so i can't see it be lightning fast without rom custimization. So for now I'm just going to stick with the fuze or maybe wait for att to release the diamond 2.

hmmmmmmmmm i am also an x1 owner and a few other HTC phones and it is nice but thats it. got nothing on the others out there. also run wm6.1 std which means you lose all the flexibility of wm6.1 pro
Perhaps not the most beautiful, but it's the most useful smartphone I ever had. With Rose I have a Diamond and choice of software and functions of a Diamond in reduced size. It is not frail like a touch device, It is ergonomic and with a great battery. It has everything! It has a body of a phone with the heart of a pda phone. It is also really stylish but, speaking about beauty, I prefer bigger screens of little bricks...
i switched from WM Pro to WM Std more than year ago. I didn't lose flexibility, i've rather got much more flexibility with std. Now i can do most things with one hand and very quick.
May be, when WMPro devices will get capacitive touch-screen then i will try WMPro again. With resistive touch-screens - no, thanks!
thing of beauty
picked it up earlier today so update to my earlier post..........very beautiful device though fingerprint magnet. working awaty next week and taking it with me to see how it holds up. wm std is ok and after removing security most of my apps have loaded on........skyfire, core player, google maps, htc home etc. prefer the normal HTC plugin that comes a default. this is a newer device so why put older, outdated htc home on it!
Hi,
I'm looking for a QWERTY Android phone and the Mini Pro caught my attention.
Should I buy one? Should I wait for some other releases (HTC) ? Any other suggestions?
Sidenote: Can I install the latest Android on it? 2.2 I think.
Only 1.6 available for it atm. I think SE wants to officially release 2.1 or 2.2 sometime in September / October.
And what's you suggestion? Should I buy it or should I wait for other releases/brands?
It's a cheap device. And it's not the best if you're a power user.
I'd say wait for the HTC Desire Z if you can afford it.
I need the QWERTY keyboard, which the Desire does not have, from what I can see.
Any other suggestions?
The "HTC Desire Z" is a new phone *with* a QWERTY keyboard, also known as the HTC Vision:
http://www.slashgear.com/t-mobile-g1-blaze-aka-htc-vision-spotted-again-2695266/
Any idea when it will be available in Europe? Or any approx. price-tag?
It will be a GSM device.
I'd say about £500 unlocked.
Same price as the Desire when it was released.
And probably released in Q4.
hi rad-misu, could you provide us with more information on what you actually want in a mobile phone?
the x10 mini pro is very small and i like to use it as secondary phone (and android toy), but i wouldn't want it as my main phone. Since i prefer a larger screen etc.
FYI US Version available.
Purchase online from mobilecityonline.com.
They also have a retail store in NYC.
just picked mine up.
If u r a power user, the screen will be small for your eyes. I am x10 mini user. I love the phone (perfect for me), coz all I did was to make and receive call with occational web browsing.
I'm coming from a 1st gen HTC Touch Cruise and am looking for a mid-range device, something decent, not a state-of-the-art-tons-of-money gadget .
Android, QWERTY, browsing, and yes, a bigger screen would be a plus, but I can't seem to find any device with this specs at the moment. Am I missing anything?
The new Desire seems to be more on the expensive side.
I had a Touch Cruise for a while, actually, but couldn't stand WM and even less not having a keyboard. Before that I had lots of Treo's, and after the Touch Cruise I had a Blackberry Bold followed by a G1 which I happily used for almost a year, until I switched to a Mini Pro last month. So I know my smartphones
I loved the G1 for everything except the size and weight, and it was lagging sometimes. The Mini Pro offers me all that the G1 did but in a much better hardware package: small, lightweight, plus it looks terrific.
I can't be bothered that it isn't running a more recent version of Android, frankly I don't miss any of the new features. And I do consider myself a power user that tweaks and bends the configuration of my phones all the time, and uses the Mini Pro as a phone, browser, mail machine (both Gmail and Exchange), GPS, MP3 player, and what not.
If you don't fancy a big screen, then the Mini Pro is the best Android smartphone available today.
Being an IT guy, and not wanting to travel all the time with my laptop in my backpack, I bought the X10m, and it's enough to do a little vpn/ssh to diagnosis and repair some common servers faults.
Although the screen is little, the battery ( provided you use data/3g/wifi/gps only when needed ) lasts good, and it doesn't disturbe my pocket to handle it
For me, the best android phone right now ( small, lasts long, works good ).
That's exactly what I'm looking for.
I'm a webdesigner and I want a small device for some debugging on the go, ssh and so.
How is the browsing on this device? Any problems with it?
Phone-wise: Any problems with reception and/or calling in general? How fast is email? Any lagging in general operation?
As far as i know the X10 mini pro is one of the few devices with Android ánd QWERTY so your choice is already limited.
I've experienced no reception problems. Wifi is a bit weaker compared to bigger devices such as my laptop etc.
The wifi "problem" is understandable.
What about the RAM? How fast is this device? Any problems on this side?
On another note: what about the multimedia? I won't be using the camera too much, but being a Sony I suppose it takes (at least) decent pictures. (?!)
How is the music playback? External speaker especially.
Thanks for all you replies! Greatly appreciated!
Camera: LED flash and 5 MP but the picture quality isn't as sharp as my SE K810i (3.2 MP+Xenon Flash )
Music playback didn't test, but the external speaker and ringtone volume is extremely loud!
The device operate very smooth, no hangups. The low resolution of 320x240 make the devices operates quicker imho.
specs and review can be found here: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_x10_mini_pro-3147.php
On this dutch written site they review the x10 mini, it includes some benchmarks which speak for themselves.

Turns out the mini is a very fast android phone!

From what I can see those are pretty good results compared to those pricey high-end devices. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I am in a purchasing dilemma since my Diamond died. I have HD2, Samsung Galaxy S and HTC Desire in my list.
Let me try to write what I have in mind. Pardon me if I offended anyone but these are purely my opinion.
Looks: HD2 has the sleekest design, Samsung Galaxy S isn't bad either but I don't like the curved corners in HTC Desire.
Winner: HD2
Screen: SGS has 4" S-AMOLED. HD2 doesn't but has got 4.3" gorgeous display. HTC Desire is somewhat in the middle, offering 3.7" SLCD.
Winner: SGS. Runnerup: HD2
Camera flash: SGS doesn't have a flash. I assume HD2 has a better dual LED flash than Desire.
Winner: HD2
OS: This part is what I hate and largely contributes to my dilemma. SGS and HTC Desire runs on Android natively, which I think these devices have a long time to be developed before they become obsolete. HTC Desire may have a leading edge compared to SGS because HTC devices have a great amount of developers working on it. HD2 is capable of running Android but its fundamental operating system is WM 6.5, which soon may become obsolete.
Winner: HTC Desire
Graphic performance: SGS has a better GPU than HTC Desire and HD2. I also wonder if the poorly implemented GPU driver in HD2 would hinder progress in future Android builds such as Gingerbread.
Winner: SGS
Price: SGS>Desire>HD2 in my country. HD2 wins.
Guys, help me decide. I could have waited for WP7 devices IF my Diamond did not unexpectedly give up, but I don't have a choice but to grab a phone now. Which device should I go for? Or could I have overlooked any potential models?
nice review but which uses u do with ur phone that what important
I use my phone for browsing, instant messaging and GPS. I prefer phones which I can modify its software to fit my needs, for example, ROM cooking. I am leaning towards Android, I have been using WM for too long and I'm a little bored with it.
....ive been a user of HD2 for the past year nd honestly.....i couldnt stand the msgng client in it! it just is plain frustrating........also from the momnet u buy the hd2 u cant but start installing stuff to change the whole phone experience!........same thng with my previous diamond 2!
i bought a SGS nd so far have been very impressed.....no lags.......no restarts........however i miss wm apps.......you have open source apps for wm which span all categories nd most are free or cracked.......android is still new but has potential if you bear the wait.......for ex you can't find a decent battery/clock/weather widget for your homescreen!!!! ..........already am looking forward for windows phone...........but i guess android it is for now.
As for SGS vs Desire, well to tell u the truth, i became very doubtful abt HTC support services...........they never target the right issues! they're just too lame......
If you happen to have any spare phone (smart or not) lying around then I'd suggest you use that phone until WP7 phones come out. They are coming really soon and you should give them a chance to be considered. You might regret if you buy a phone now and a month later a WP7 phone comes out with features that you really really like.
Well, Just my opinion - that's what I'd do anyway if I was in your situation. In any case, good luck with your decision

Simple answer. NO!
The phone is quite old now and you will receive no support at all from HTC.
I think this is too important to ignore ...

I am using HD2 and i'm very happy with it. If you wanna go HD2, be alarmed that the stock ROM from HTC won't be a satisfactory user experience. I would advise you to look for a custom ROM, that fulfills your user needs (battery power absorbtion, eye candy, crashing,...)
After that you get almost unlimited customisation ability. On the other side, HD2 won't gen any major official customer support, so if you are o.k. with that, there's no other trendemous downside.
One other thing...
if you are a regular customer, who prefers simplicity and no customization (iPhone), this is probably not suited for you
Sent from my HD2
downside if you get the hd2 is that, i doubt htc will release any further official updates for it however look how much this forum has to offer in regards with cooked roms,android port or eventually wm7 port(hopefully) but its fundamental o/s is pretty dire without the enhancements ie battery life and frezzing up ..your stated you been using windows o/s so in a way you know what to expect from a windows phone i havnt tried the desire but reviews are pretty sound..played with the sgs very briefly thought android alot smoother, i love the voice recognition aspect of it eg on goggle if you speak to it, it will fill in the google search field for you, i was impressed! personally i would hold on until the rumoured hd3 or hd7 comes out this year
I think you should buy a cheap replacement at for now. Since WP7 I think will be released soon(I hope), you can wait for it. Anyway in case you won't like WP7, you can still get the HD2(over SGS and Desire) and I think it will be lot cheaper but great overall.
I bought HD2 some time before Desire release.. I also was stuck a long time don't know if to wait or buy.. Then I sold it while Galaxy S hit the store cause I got good money for it.. Then I had the chance, Galaxy S or HD2 again.. I bought HD2 again and didn't regret it..
If I look at the price and the possibilities the HD2 is the winner for me.. Also the quality and display is really good.. Android for me is ready for daily use (Bangster 1.2A Build), no need for NAND atm love the possibility switch between WinMo and Android.. WP7 is coming for shure and Ubuntu also =) But if you don't want to change OS then buy Android phone, I came from Palm to Windows Mobile years ago but I never got an experience like Android, best usability you can get in my opinion..
Only advantage I see with Samsung is the better GPU, but in Quadrant benchmark I get a much higher CPU score, so don't know which is better.. NFS Shift runs smooth though =)
I have to agree with the last 2 posts, came from a Mytouch andriod phone to the HD2. If it wasn't for the fact that I can sync up my calander and contacts from my outlook, this phone would be have been sold 1 day after I bought it. 3 apps on the crappy windows market also make the phone ok. Being able to put different roms helps, but it really only changes screens around, it still runs on crappy windows
But if I had my choice I would have stayed with my Mytouch and spent $275 on a newer andriod phone then this POS.
Great replies. I've decided to go for Samsung Galaxy S. Cheers~
Like some others I'm getting a little tired of my x10, not going to go into details about this.
BUT, I read somewhere that people are beginning to be able to run android - 2.1, 2.2, even saw 3.0 somewhere (might have been fake) - on their HD2 devices. It also seems like this is something that is improving at a constant rate.
Now, my question is, how competent would the hd2, running android, be as a replacement to the x10 (tbh to me it seems like there won't be much change with 2.1 for x10)? How do they compare hardware wise?
Anyone got any info on this?
thanks ahead of time
For one... 3.0 doesn't exist.
As they compare hardware wise, the HD2 has a 4.3 inch screen, does it not? To me, that's a little too large for a phone. (The X10 is already huge at 4 inches).
Otherwise, if you wanna move to an HD2 running a hacked version of Android when the similarly sized, but much more powerful Desire HD is coming out, more power to you.... I'd choose to not be stuck with "older" hardware if I were going to change phones six months after buying a different one.
I have previously owned an HD2. While, yes, you can run Android, it's not ideal. First of all, it does not have the ability to load Android in ROM. It runs it in a dual-boot mode and Android runs off the SD card. The presents a few issues and compromises of it's own. This also opens the door to some serious corruption of the device reboots or the SD card is accidentally removed while it is running.
I wouldn't recommend this at all.

I'm aware that the htc desire hd would probably be the best choice. But the thing is, I purschased the x10 while it was brand new for around 600£, so I'm not willing to pay for a new pricey high-end phone just yet. However, I thought that I would be able to find someone willing to swap my x10 for a hd2, one for one (I wouldn't lose more money, and I would still get a new experience with a new phone running 2.2).
And regarding the size I actually think the bigger the better (TWSS..).
Any ideas on how the two phones compare in raw hardware though?
why don't you just read the specs on gsmarena or something...
http://htcdesire-hd.blogspot.com/2010/09/desire-hd-free-map-app.html
look there, a hd2 is running the htc desire hd rom. It seems relatively stable!
HD2 is a good phone with no design. HTC is not a phone designer to me. I had it when it was running WM and then ported 2.1 and 2.2 and then I moved to X10. They are sort of stable but not flawless. Hd2 is sort of big and out of proportion. Hardware specs are good but if you are willing to spend the money and move to HTC(if design doesn't bother you) I recommend to wait for the HTC HD.
You have put-up with SE for a while and if you wait for a month or so you will have 2.1.
If you are a geek and like to flash new stuff twice a day and play with them with less battery, go for it or wait for something that at least is running android originally.
I really like the HD2 running winmo alone....would I trade my X10 for it? That would depend on how much better 2.1 is gonna be.....pretty much I'm down to the fact that 2.1 will make or break the X10 for a lot of people. If 2.1 isn't that much better even after this delay ill trade it in a heartbeat for an HD2..however if 2.1 proves to be worth the wait...HD2 can kiss my ass. As for the desire hd I think id give up my X10 and an HD2 for it...that thing is gonna be a beast!

Really wanna change ??
Forget HD2
Get a full Android phone, grown up from the ground as an Android phone
Ah, and search for one with Froyo out of the box

Definitely not worth even if HD2 is loaded with Android as the hardware is not as good as X10 like the battery which is still on 1230mah lithium ion battery and HD2 is only using 5MP camera while HD2 is on 8.1MP camera.
Even though Desire HD is out, it is still using the same battery as HD2 so the battery life will only have slight improvement though it is using an improved processor chip which consume less battery power.
In terms of hardware specs or technology, HTC is no way better than SE.

But in terms of software and support they are much much better and ahead and i think the combination of good hardware and very good support and software is much better successful than good hardware and poor support and software update ... and X10 is not so good made and stuff... my 1st was crap and restarted itself all the time and from the store they had to change it with my 2nd one ... i hope it will be better this time ...and anyway its a hardware ... anything can go wrong aswell the x10, htc, samsung and every device in the market nothing is forever .... excluding my e51 ))))))
Why wouldn't you just trade it for a proper Android phone like the HTC Desire? Sell your X10, then buy a used Desire. Both phones should be worth about the same amount of money.

Get a milestone 2 that's going to be a better phone. I reckon anyway but always wait for at least a month after a new phone comes out. So you can see what is the best for your needs, I've learnt my lesson from x10.

You are right in some ways but you must remember that HTC provide firmware upgrade till a limit and basically those upgrades are to resolve those bugs which they have left out and not add in extra features.
I have used before HTC phones ranging from Diamond, Touch Pro, Diamond 2, Touch Pro 2 and finally HD2, it is a pain for every firmware upgrade as all my data will be gone and I have to backup before performing firmware upgrade. They should gather all the bugs or problems at one go and released one firmware instead of so many.
No matter how many firmware upgrades you have, the hardware limitation is there and this is a fact that you cannot do anything unless you change phone.
At least, I have a higher spec hardware and with software upgrade which is more flexible as you can add in extra features in the later part to enhance user's experience.
Basically, those are the different type of marketing strategy used by the two companies, end users have the choice to choose what phone to change or use and you have to try different brands of phones before you know each phone manufacturer's bad and good points.
Just sharing my experience as I have tried different phones before knowing which phone manufacturer suits me more and having better technology in their hardware.

For the moment because i cant afford other phone i`m sticking with my X10 but in the future maybe next year or so i`ll defenetly no gonna buy a Se product and i`ll go with HTC ...this is what i think for the moment But anyway lets get back to the topic i think android is better for now than wm6.5 but not x10 android ... )
I just bought an HD2 because I found it dirt cheap (Telstra edition, works in Canada), but I'll be keeping my X10 until I figure out which one suits my needs better... (And that 2.1 will be out) I'll then sell the phone that has the least potential. The NAND edition of Android is supposed to be released soon though and dual boot is a really nice option... So we'll see which one comes out on top!
