The phone we all know and love, is still very much in use even for its age, and still yet there isn't any flip windows phone on the market.
Its obvious by the popularity of this forum and the age of the phone that there is a market for an updated phone like ours.
Are HTC missing an oppoortunity
Is there any way we can let HTC know this.
Good point - but all they'd need to do is bring a version out with more memory and a WiFi connection - my ideal phone...
Good camera might help too

Totally with you on this one!!!
I would pay top dollar for a new WM 6.1/6.5 Standard phone with the same format/size/shape as the HTC StrTrk but with all the modern specs (Faster Processor, more Rom/Ram, 3G, GPS, WiFi).
I would happily communicate this to HTC / Other OEM's if I thought it would be worth it.

I was recently supplied an HTC Touch Diamond by my work. After a few weeks, it went back in the drawer. I've gone back to my S301 (running WM6.1) exclusively. It's biggest failing is network speed. If there were a new version with 3G and a GPS I would grab it quick smart.
I would buy the star trek II in a minute, Windows mobile 6.5, 3G, and SDHC card support. The perfect phone.
But most people want cheap or keyboards.
+1 for a revised version
I keep 2-3 spares at home from Ebay as replacements. Still one of the best all time form factors, keypad response, etc... for any Windows Mobile device I've ever used.
I grabbed the new Google Maps update yesterday and I guess the new 3D features aren't supported on the Eris. It looks like some of the people over in the Hero forums have said that they have 3D working, while others do not. Has anyone on the Eris been able to get this working?
Hero ROMS also have Multi touch maps, and Eris ones don't.
That could be the reason.
Even my Samsung Fascinate (they say it has the fastest processor and graphics money can buy, in a phone) doesn't have the 360° rotation, so I'm not too too surprised the Eris doesn't have this feature either!
I don't have 3d maps but when I use nav then the map tilts about... Very neat!

Yeah, I wasn't really surprised that the rotation and tilting wasn't working. I was just curious. Is this a kernel support issue?
Fortunately, it looks like the 3D buildings are showing up now. I must not have been looking in the right place or zooming in enough.
My trusty Nokia 3120b just happened to die yesterday, the day my gTab arrived. Looking at all the different phones I could get free (or at very low cost) from my cell provider (AT&T), I thought I should get one which I could use to tether to the gTab so that I can have Internet service when I'm not in range of a WiFi signal.
There are many to choose from and I am quite bewildered. Blackberry Bold or Pearl, HTC Aria or Surround, some Pantechs and LGs ...
Does anyone have any advice or recommendations for choosing a phone which works well with the gTab? Or would any 3G phone with Bluetooth be okay? The only thing I have been using my Nokia for is phone calls and messaging (text and voice) so I've not got any other requirements.
Thanks in advance!
Most rooted android phones will allow tethering with the help of some add-on apps. Search the forums for more info on this, I don't know specific models that were successful.
I do know that current Gen blackberries are very problematic to get tethered through Bluetooth with the Gtab. There is an old thread somewhere here that discusses it, without a clear successful solution.
Without getting into OS wars, I'd probably recommend either an Android or iPhone. I personally love the free wireless tethering app (Available on any rooted android phone). I can set my phone in the best possible spot in my house, then be wherever I want with my tablet.
My advice, if you go Android, is to go with a phone that has at least 2.2 and at least 512 MB of ram. Other things to look for is if the phone has an unlocked/locked bootloader, if you choose to hack it like your Gtab. Do your homework, see what works for you!
Thanks y'all, that narrows it down to four phones. Much easier to compare than a dozen!
I have an se xperia X10 that works great with it.

That's one of my choices, but I was leery about the old version of Android which they come with. What do you think of it?
You can put 2.2 on it. I'm a bit leery of only 384 meg of ram, though.
The four were:
Sony Ericsson Xperia (refurb)
Moto Flipout (refurb)
Moto Bravo (new)
HTC Aria (refurb)
Of these, it looks like the Aria is the most workable. It has the 512 Mb and you can put liberated Froyo on it (2.2).
I like the style of the Bravo better, but the dev's for it are not up to the level of those for the Aria. :-/
You should check out Wirefly, you might find you have more options in the "free" category. I've picked up my past 2 phones from them.
Thanks, I will.
ETA: Wirefly doesn't do AT&T.
I just checked my Flyer for an update and OnLive Viewer just popped up. After a quick download, I created an account and poked around a bit. I was unable to play any free trials but I would assume functionality is just around the corner. This tablet is getting better and better everyday. A couple of screen captures:
yup i just did the update this morning it looks sick i cant wait for live game play

Is this a free apk?
If not, where did you get it?
Thanks!
Someone get a hold of that APK and remove any device requirements
I want this on my Xoom & OG!
APK !!!!. I'll try and port it to the nook color
please extract .apk HTC Flyer OnLive Viewer and put in this page for other android htc users ,
with titanium app or other you can save your apps installed .
extract and put it please
This might seem against yhe spirit of xda but..... Can we not port the apk. I would like to see some more official development on this unrootable device that i paied to much money for. This would effectively kill onlive for the flyer. Atleast wait until games are playable as this is only a viewer and only about as cool as just in tv

You must be joking. Since when is the "MY DEVICE HAS IT, EVERYONE ELSE **** OFF" mentality ever been a good thing? Android isn't supposed to have these idiotic exclusive applications, that's why the OS was so carefully designed to make applications compatible everywhere.
I'm really looking forward to someone ripping an apk... please?
+1. I'd love to have the apk. I could probably bypass the device check if it has one.

You, sir, are amazing! Works great on HTC Evo 4G. Still need to test it on my Transformer.
I installed it on my Nook Color running Cyanogen and it works perfect.
Thanks, that's awesome, it works on the Droid X, though the graphics are a little muddy. I'm a big fan on OnLive though I can't wait to see future Android updates.
Unfortunately not working on Sprint Hero running GB 2.3.4.
Installs, but force closes every time you attempt to open it.
Hi guys,
I've tested it on the Transformer and it is a no go. After looking at the logcat, it appears to be using a compiled .so, so it should only run on similar platforms to the Flyer. I'm somewhat shocked it works on the Droid X, bt I suppose the architectures are similar enough to work.
Disappointing. OnLive has said they want to aim for end of 2011 for a full tablet launch, including gaming. I can't see why it is taking them so long .
works just fine on my android HD2 but not on my dell streak 7
Thank you for the .apk you just made my day
Works on dhd as well as flyer

it works in nokia n900 with nitdroid N12 2.34 gingerbread
Thanks guys, working perfectly on Nook Color CM7
Works on my original DROID and HTC Thunderbolt too.
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 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
lol ok
Surprised you didn't an an HTC EVO 3D given the deal on at ASDA.

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.
