Em, can u guys be real kind and tell me how is this compared to touch diamond2?
the touchflo3d, isit different from diamond2 and tp2?
and how bout the proc and ram, which wan better?

If you are not in a hurry, you may want to wait for the release of HTC Firestone, the successor of Blackstone HD. Will be released soon

agree with DrWho, if you could wait a bit, then i would suggest wait for blackstone successor...HTC wont be releasing Windows 6.5 update for HD, so i believe it wont be long...maybe it will be officially announced when Windows mobile 6.5 is ready...

skylightlava, is HD your 1st PPC phone? you can head over to xda-developers to get more ideas / issues with Touch HD...

The Beauty, HTC Firestone, whose specifications surpasses HD's. Start saving

i do hope that the specs are not final...it's a snapdragon processor alright but at 600MHz? come on HTC, you can do better than that...and the design

Nice..but the screen size seems to have shrunk and the processor only 600Mhz...abit disappointing

i'd rather go for Toshiba TG01 with extended battery. drools

hm.. still couldn't beat the HD in design wise.. the only thing i see an upgrade for the Firestone is the 8MP camera.. but if they still use the same technology and drivers from the HD, then it'll suck as well.. case in point, LG Renoir..

Agree on the design part. I still prefer the HD's design over the Firestone's supposed design.

It looks a lil' Diamond-ish to me.

Just finished flashing my HD with EnergyROM BLACKSTONE 20090808 Standard.. and I'm impressed with the ROM ;-)
Do i need to update my radio as well? , currently using 1.09.25.14 radio (which is the default) and how can I update the radio as I'm a bit blur with the guide from XDA developer

If you want a new Radio, latest is 1.14..., go to XDA Wiki to download. USPL>Flash and you will have a new Radio with your current ROM.

Hi evilpuppy,

I know why I can't filter the calls. it was due to I have to tick the Caller ID. If I untick it, it will not filter
calls.

But I have problem when I tick Inesoft Caller ID. Incoming calls will show in deafult caller id then few second later, it
change to Inesoft Caller ID (quite irritating).

How do I disable default (HTC) caller ID (if I want to use Inesoft Caller id)?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Daneva

read from xda that radio 1.14 is a bit on the warm side (the main reason why i didnt update to this radio) compare to other radio, but then i felt radio 1.13 (which i'm currently using) is not as good as radio 1.09 as i experience drop calls before in my room when using radio 1.13

if you decide to use radio 1.14 do let me know how the performance...

you also need to enable <inesoft phone> options to bring up inesoft incoming caller id instead default caller id screen appear before inesoft. the problem is, by enabling this option you wont be able to use TF3D contact functions or video call.

Ok, understand, thanks for the guide (it really works), really appreciate it. Hopefully new version will come with video call.

BTW, currently I looking at the Iconsoft Phonex V 1.4.5

Cheers....

Iconsoft Phonex tested, not as friendly as Inesoft.

Yes, have to agree with you. And Inesoft advantage is, it can filter/block calls (and reply with sms).
However, Iconsof Phonex interface/GUI is nicer

Note: Currently I still prefer Inesoft and activate the Inesoft Phone and Caller ID (to enable me to use call filter function).
Thanks again for your guide/tips.


Edit : Have you any experience power drain using Inesoft? In less than 2 hours, my battery drop to 80% (from 100%).

Looking at the blackstone design, i still prefer HD.

Currently I'm using Dutty R8 (WM6.5 Manila 2.1), now down loading Dutty R11. Waiting for Dutty to solve Manila2.5 SMS issue before migrate to
Manila 2.5 rom.

Thanks buddy, will give Panoramic Phone Genius v.1.6.0. I dont like current default "contact" as it is not finger friendly.
