My upgrade t610 will arrive later this week. Must be a good phone, as its been out of stock.. A few instability issues with the XDA have made my mind up. This is what I now choose:
t610 - main mobile (like normal people..)
XDA - as a PDA. (like a posh git!)
Can anybody who has gone this illogical way back in time also, please give some advice, and comments. Is it easy to cope going back to an ordinary mobile handset again? Or did you move back to the XDA . .
All comments very welcomed please.

hi i dunno what id do without my XDA lol
i was like this with nokias when the 3510i was 1st released i had one of the 1st units out i thought it was the dogs bollocks then the 7210 ect.. came out i was like um im bored of this so i was gonna get a big pda phone i though......
7210 i could only just afford, 7650 i want badly and i can only just afford, p800 out my league, spv i want but id like the XDA more but XDA was way way out my price range
so i was going to get the spv as my mate had the spv and another had the 7650 i was impressed by both....
but one day browsing ebay i found an XDA for £190 buy it now so i got it and i was like damn being with nokia all that time and moving to another make is a big step....
but after
XDA>All
nokia are cheaply made peices of ****e :| now campared to the XDA
but now i have kinda like taken a fancy to the 6600 and 3650 but the thing that sucks about them is no SD slot :| only mmc and only 128mb tops which plain sucks.
so i want the XDA 2 when its out but i know im not gonna be able to afford that.
but if the XDA1 had bluetooth i would keep but i really want bluetoohe
this has made me thought of getting a 3650 and then a ipaq 3870 so i can use the net on the move using bluetooth and also have a mobiule phone/camera to take pics and put them on my ipaq.
but im not too sure as i love the XDA lol
sorry for the comfusion just i wont be able to move down from XDA to a normal phone it would have to be PDA style or ahve PDA features atleast

once you have tasted the cream how can you go back to uht long life milk on your corn flakes? just buy jeans with big pockets.
The Xda promises me a mobile office and to a certain
extend it has. I no longer feel guilty sitting in a coffee bar when I should be behind a desk
I can envisage working well into my old age too if it means I can sit in a beach somewhere instead of behind a desk. And when my memory finally goes....
speaking as an XDA newbie - I've had mine about a month now - and not to mention the CPW billing issues :evil: ... I personally have to agree, but that there is a time and a place for each unit. Let's face it there are times when the XDA is just a bit inconvenient and you wish you had a sturdy little nokia in your pocket.
The beach thing sounds great, but do you really want to use the unit in that environment ? that's when your digi fun-cam-fone comes in handy for me.. 8)
I've also suffered a few glitches which make me wonder if they haven't got the application quite "right" yet ? (a la 3..) for true mobile comms - certainly the costs are prohibitively expensive, i.e. the service providers need to drop costs to consumers and speed up the service. But also the phone software doesn't seem to work too well with the PC side ? Or is that me ? :wink:
So in summary I think there's a place for the XDA, e.g if my music career takes off I can be fully mobile with all my demos in tow etc - the possibilitys are endless, but for now I'll keep checking my pop mail from work, playing pacman in meetings, getting annoyed that I can't get through the company firewall to get work e-mails (bugger that one!)
he he I dont actually take my xda to the beach.
What I am trying to say is that I am more in love with the concept of mobile computing and how it can change the way we work.
I mean why retire when you can continue "working" at the beach if you know what I mean.
To free us from the tyranny of being tied to our desk or office thats the promise.
This is very exciting and I am looking forward
to seeing what came out in this type of devices.
There is of course a portion of the population (even a majority) that cannot be bother with the complexity
or for whom voice call reliability is absolutely critical and lets face it the xda is not quite "there" yet.
Hi All,
It's an interesting argu ... however, let me remind you all how we can now have a tablet PC instead of the old days when I was lucky to get XT with 20MB HD PC on my desk. I believe the XDA (as a concept) is still a baby. It has its own challenges (battery life for now). Also, the wireless comm is evolving too fast (GSM -> GPRS -> UMTS -> ... ??? ) ... I can see that day comming when you will no longer be able to say is it a phone or computer :wink:
For now, one have to decide: either you need a mobile computer, or a computerized mobile
Hmmmm...something to make you think here:
http://www.msnbc.com/news/952420.asp?0si=-
'tis true alquerty - I myself did a support job where I was laptop based, and found myself working from home due to the timings of various procedures. The line started becoming blurred for me then.. checking logs whilst shaving and all sorts..
Going back to the previous point about the XDA being a baby. Absolutely. The idea of us having a mobile unit that does everything has surely been around for yonks. Thunderbirds, Joe 90 - video watches and all that. We're getting there, that's what I meant about the application, it just hasn't been fully realised yet - give 3G a little while and we'll all be there soon anyway :lol:
Bring the points together and you could end up with this nightmare-ish vision of the future, with no communicative boundaries. You can always be found. But I guess the question you have to ask is "do you want to"? - Which is where I think the doubters come in - I guess they just like their privacy, and regard voice as definitive ? (i.e. "if I'm speaking to them then I'm available")
Interesting debate !
nokia
The Nokia Communicator has a good principal. I think these things go back to the nineties? Anyway, the office away from the desk.. You open up the communicator, and there it all is waiting for you. qwerty keyboard, reasonable screen, and some useful apps.
I remember the best thing that nokia did with that was the fax. You were able to send and recieve faxes with that thing superbly.
From memory this might have been the first mobile with speaker phone as well. Stick the phone on the kitchen table and sit round it having a conversation. Pioneering days.
Yes ppc has come a long way. Playing strip poker on the sly and such is great. But the fundamentals of the business users are not forfilled. For this market a reliable functioning piesce of equipment is required. Nokia seem to have this side covered?
Anybody ever seen a nokia communicator (9190 I think...) being used with a pocket pc? How daft would that be!!!
well my XDA is now sold ill miss it getting a 3650 to try out.
if i dont like it then straight back to the XDA but ill get a 64mb version this time round thats if i dont like the 3650.
if i like the 3650 ill get an ipaq with built in bluetooth and a gps unit so that way i can still use the net using 3650's bluetoohte and have a cam and pics in instant + mms and reliable signal on the phone
shame bout it being a sybian phone and not CE
>>shame bout it being a sybian phone and not CE
If its CE then it wouldnt be reliable would it and you are back to square one? HaHa
ok ok its getting better with each rom update
Must be a good phone, as its been out of stock.

Don't delude yourself. A year ago I wanted a T68 badly to use with my Jornada via Bluetooth. Must be a good phone--it was back-ordered three weeks, right? First one was DOA. Second one lost the "up" direction on the joystick in about a week. Third one went two months before it just started rebooting itself. Replacement for that was DOA.
Meanwhile I moved up to the XDA and cannot imagine going back. I had to use a regular phone for most of a day when I hosed up a radio stack update and thought I was going to lose my mind.
So, i just came across this where the protocol of siri has been cracked and can now be ported to the original ipad + Android devices.
Looks like this can be done by an experienced developer, so posting it here.
Hope some genius can come out with some good results for all of us, and make his money too
http://applidium.com/en/news/cracking_siri/
hoping for this too
hmm.... i just found out that siri user apple server for 'her' artificial intelegence.
i though it was on iPhone 4, so 3gs can't taste siri.
anyway, this is great effort.
i really can't imagine android use apple server for using siri xD

Why would anyone port siri for android? Ever heard of google search? Come built in with android os since android came out to the market. Use the voice action of the app and it will do the same thing that siri does.. without the sarcastic answers that apple thought will save the craphone. Siri is just apple's varsion of google's google search. But if you are looking to ask her to marry you or find you a spot to dump a body, you should look out and see that there is life beyond sitting infront of the computer and hoping it will answer.

Well siri seems better at recognising voice commands... I used Iris which uses the wolframalpha database just like siri, and the only problem seems to be with the google voice recogniser api (probably cause i'm not american and it's not optimised for anyone but)... would be nice if it could recognise perfectly atleast but i guess that's google's work to do....

I know what you mean. I am not american either, and some times the system does not understand me unless i talk really slow like some kind of an analphabet in english class. Also, if you want it to call a persone or a number, you have to say dial. If you say call, it searches the web.. stupid.

ha I can't stand the idea of talking to a phone or computer. If you need to talk to a phone and ask it how to do something, you're doing something wrong.
As much of a gimmick as Siri is, Apple has managed to get itself a lot of attention. I guess it does not hurt that the media seems to ignore most smartphone technology until it is on the iPhone.

Deviation from topic???? that too from a MOD????
Actually google's voice search api is pretty good.. only not so much at recognising other accents.. which isnt really google's fault really... I mean there's no accent that u can TRULY call 'Indian" for instance... based on the latitude, I can see around 5 accents quite different from each other really....
American users: does it work well for you? I mean does google voice search generally transcribe voice to words correctly???

Well it works pretty well most of the time, however I do sometimes have to intentionally mispronounce some words, names for instance, and then sometimes the thing is totally in left field; still it is pretty good most of the time. I used voice dial in front of one of my many iPhone toting friends recently, and his jaw dropped...( and voice dial isn't exactly new...)

GV works 80% of the time for me as well and I have a 'midwestern' accent, or no accent. Sometimes the results are just weird
What really pisses me off is that I can't get it to understand "Mimi's Cafe" for the life of me, it interprets it as "Nini's Cafe".
Why it's trained to come up with a single restaurant close to Google HQ instead of the name of a decent sized chain restaurant is just too Bay Area centric.

Hmmm for me it's actually pretty terrible actually.. I tried English (Generic) and English(India) accents in GV settings.. and in both cases it generally doesnt recognise a word i say... it is quite entertaining at first but annoying eventually... I remember saying "Forum Mall" (like..."fohrummma mawla") and the best it got is "Form One"
So actually if Siri's voice recognition is better... and Apple does NOT mind (and they WILL mind) we could probably use only siri's VR engine.. (I say "probably" cause i'm not a dev.. just an enthusiast)

You are still right abt apple though
There is an app in the market and I'm sorry I can't remember the name but i downloaded it a while ago a.d it did most of what siri does. You could ask it random things and it would answer it would also preform actions on the phone just by speaking. But in talking to it I pissed it off then he wouldn't talk to me for 5 minutes. So my response was uninstalling it
Was it called iris?

As an Englishman I found it perfectly readable and am far more offended by your tone of arrogance than by someone trying their best in their non-native language.
I found the post useful and informative and can entirely forgive the spelling and grammar mistakes. There is, however, no excuse for your post which was totally uncalled for.

What does your being an Englishman have to do with it? This post is clearly a case of LOL'itis, not of grammar or of spelling, but rather a shorthand that is just not necessary - a point that I'm willing to bet you would concede. I'll continue to attack this ghastly shorthand wherever I see it as long as I can clearly see that the author possesses a certain adequacy in his or her level of English, which the author clearly displays. I have more than enough patience for someone attempting to hack away learning a new language. Hell, I'm doing it now in Amsterdam. But, nd for and? Give me a break. It's time someone put the foot down lest this spreads. Grammar and spelling is an entirely different matter from LOL-itis and complete disregard for a period here or there.
That said, I do appreciate the OP and hope that no offense was taken.

I natively speak the language in which he is trying to communicate; A fairly relevant fact. I do, of course, agree that annoying shorthand shouldn't be tolerated but I have patience for it when someone is not a native speaker. Rudeness I never have patience for, and your post was quite rude.
And I'll argue it's not relevant. Because you are a native English speaker, you would most probably have the least difficult time deciphering shorthand English. If you were Polish, Czech, Chinese, or of any other nationality you might find here, you might find it ever so slightly more difficult. It's as if you had written in your post that despite your "English-ness", you found it perfectly legible. And I would say, what does that have to do with the tea in China? What you wrote is simply illogical. Shorthand English is simply a disservice to those non-native speakers here, and in mind at least, equally as rude as those who dare defend the use of vowels.
Again, for your gratification and perhaps for the OP, I appreciate the thoughts on this lovely new device.

But the problem is, you see... he is not making grammar mistakes as such. I will give you simple example:
When you ask somebody for a place, you would start your question with Where, not Were. You prenaunce it same, but means something complitely different. He, as not englishman, he is not doing such thing.
What he does, is basically usung street language... literally, which with a little bit of effort is understandable.
That is a valid point, I probably can read it more easily as I know what he is trying to say.
I do stand by my main objection though, you didn't need to be quite so rude and put him down. He was trying to help
And I do thank him for that, really. But please, a little bit of effort, because it is not easy to read. English is a language on this forum, not english street language.
Thanks for sharing your impressions man.

What can you tell me about the videocamera. I saw some videos in youtube and they was not that smooth. Maybe i ask to much but it is possible to upload to some sharing website an original video that yau have made? 50 Mb not more (2-3 minutes). I want to buy this smartphone but i make a lot of videos and the video quality and smoothness will make me decide between Xperia S and SGS2 or waiting for One X from HTC.
Thanks you...
Don't get me wrong, but why people even consider Galaxy S II? It is an old phone now. It's got one update ahead, if any.

At the bottom of this review there is an original video
''Cholek3'' Because i saw to a friend of mine who has it that the video quality and smoothness are very very nice. I am intrested to buy a very good ''camera smartphone''. I don't care so much about ICS update or quadcore and all this market crap.
@sssache
That's fair enough then.
I thought on the s3 if you said "hi galaxy" when the phone screen was on it was suppose to go into s voice ?
Even if I double click and say hi galaxy it says it doesn't understand what I mean ?
Do I need to enable something ?
Thanks in advance
You have to program it to recognise your voice first..

I'm from the UK and in my experience S-Voice answers **** all if you ask with the language set to English, it really is shockingly bad. It'll answer basic questions such as the weather but almost everything else it doesn't understand. If you want to ask it more questions switch the language to american.
I've asked numerous questions with it set to UK and it just says it doesn't understand what I mean but if I ask the same questions with it set to USA it'll give answers to all of them. It's really weird.
S-Voice - Soft edit key - Settings - Language
See if that helps...
Tbh I'm mega disappointed with s voice it's as bas as siri . I'm in Manchester UK and asked for my nearest petrol station it came up with getta inAmerica wtf ?

Same issue with an Australian accent. There isn't an option to use English Australian yet, so perhaps that will help. I would have expected an accent to have less of an impact on the voice recognition, seeing as other apps seem to work better.
Word on the street is Google are going to do something about Siri officially so to speak, so maybe samsung don't need to fix it.

I like the fact the interface actually covers the whole screen so you don't realise its using the network to determine what you said...
And just for fun, I asked where the nearest perol station was and it returned "Getty", when I hit the more option it gave it gave me a map of New York. Fine and all except I'm in Newcastle Australia... Bit far to go for petrol...
Same with me
The other day after many questions and it failing to pick up what I was saying, I said "you are so unreliable" and it replied saying "Thank you for saying I'm reliable"
I could have thrown it against a wall
Perhaps only getty petrol stations are paying google to advertise

This is what I got with the petrol station question (I've got s voice set to UK English)
Edit: here's something *really* stupid: if I tell it "drive to Island Gardens station" it immediately loads up nav , shows my location and the route perfectly well. If however I tell it "walk to Island Gardens station" then I get the "sorry I don't understand what you mean by... " reply

Worst program ever
^^^^ obviously not then
I wouldn't bother even trying, It's pointlessly terrible. Rather than release a phone with this, perhaps samsung should have made a stand against voice control that nobody uses rather than give Apple an open goal to rip S Voice to shreds?
Hi everyone,
This is a post to existing ROM developers. A childhood dream of mine has always been to create a technology that makes any type of connected device intelligent in a general way. This is a goal that is now real in version 1.0 and is currently being integrated into an automation app.
You can see a CONCEPT video here (though, because Engadget never talked to me, the entire article is based on assumptions from the author. There is an awesome data privacy/control model in place and the tech doesn't "think" for you lol):
Doesn't look like I'm senior enough to post a link. So Google "Kimera Systems Engagdet" and the video will be the first result
And a recent tech meetup presentation with quick demo here (what tech can do today and how it is expected to evolve in 2014):
In the ideal world this type of AI is integrated deeper into the ROM to enable a real device experience rather than an app experience. And that's the point of this post. At some point we'll open up the framework (a API to a user's "personal cloud" - Because each user owns their own data and can host their cloud anywhere they want, each users API will have its own endpoint url) for anyone who wishes to integrate AI into their ROM, launcher, or app. But today we're too early for a general release and instead looking to partner with an existing developer who can see the long term potential.
If you're a ROM developer and interested in at least learning more, PM me and we can have an initial chat.
PS. Has to be for a Sprint Samsung Note 3 ROM. Why? I have that device and obviously for me to support you on development .... well, it would be ideal for me being able to run your ROM And also, since Note 3 is by far the absolute best device out there, I'm curious how you can innovate the user experience with this technology to something even better few people can imagine.
This sounds really interesting. I would like some more info if possible, unfortunately just that since I don't have an N3 (Sprint S3 instead).
And here's the link for others: http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/13/kimera-systems-wants-your-smartphone-to-think-for-you/
I thought google was working on this and it was named project "Majel", which is a reference to Majel Barrett of Star Trek fame for anybody in the know
Interesting!

Mind blowing, every time when I see something like this happening with technology I wonder that most of the things we saw in Si-Fi movies are about to come real. it's started, messing up with AI has started at right time and we are very fortunate to see something incredible in upcoming years.

Yeah, like Skynet and T1000 Military robots/drones. It will be awesome to be oppressed by our governments with AI! I cannot wait!

In short (okay, maybe not short) we built the technology to focus on
Allowing any connected device to understand the world the same way you do. That means "human-like intelligence' (and I believe we're the first one to have cracked that nut) and the ability for your devices to mimic your personality.
Complete data privacy. I hate the idea that 3rd party companies own and control your data and literally turning you into a product they can sell to advertisers. So we've implemented a "personal cloud" solution. The idea is that instead of all your Android devices connected to Google server farm, or Facebook server farm when starting your FB app, or Apple server farm for iOS etc....I want us to get to a point where all your devices connect to your personal cloud and that you can host your cloud anywhere you want so that you have full control over it. This means no one, including my startup, will ever get into a position to controlling the intelligence or data on the global network. Or in other words, no NSA and no Skynet.
This is the most important part: Devices need to understand "WHY?". Why are you doing this or that? etc. Anyone who can answer the question why exhibits real human intelligence. That is the main point of this AI.
From a practical standpoint, the AI really interconnects these personal clouds in specific ways so that they can "produce" intelligence. The result is an "intelligence briefing" that is sent to the device allowing the device to understand what is going on and why and provide information where the device can find apps, services, content so that device can automatically connect to the app. (no app stores or social networks or commerce platforms, just direct from user to service/product/app provider).
Kind went into the technical details here, but hopefully it answered your question
And thank you for posting the link

We designed it specifically to prevent government and hackers to invade your privacy. No Skynet!

I guess the real money in the future is to develop "psychiatric therapy centers" for electronic devices AI. if is going to be "human-like intelligence''... LOL now you're one step ahead of the curve.

In that case you also need jail cells for devices who decide to break the law

LOL! If it is being designed by a man you better believe that! The ultimate punishment will be having the device deactivated and being forced to run the Palm OS for the rest of its life.

Yeah both of those OSs will make a phone feel retarded. It will be the equivalent of having a stroke for a cell phone.

Forgot Apple iOS lol, if it was forced to run iOS it might start uninstalling itself and cause your device to brick to prevent it from having to deal w/ the OS........software seppuku lol

Having to run the IOS will be for misdemeanors and the Palm OS would be for life sentences. The blackberry OS is for everything in between.

I had used the palm treo for a while. It was cool for one of the first "operating system based phones", but maybe going back, since after not using it for so long, I would probably have to concur lol. I need to pick one up and play with it again.

The Palm OS was my favorite back in the days but times change and we have to adapt and keep with the times. Palm OS was good for it's time. The funny thing is Android approached Palm first to throw their OS in their phone but Palm told android to F-off. That decision F-ed Palm and now they are no longer making smartphones.
