Thanks.

Is there any special type of screen protector for capacitive screen? Will screen protector reduce the sensitivity to touch?
*
U'd probably wanna head down to iphone forum to find out. theirs is capacitive. buti think whatever effect will be minimal.

i see lots of people are getting this. i dunno, i'm just turned off by the size and battery. u guys shud check out Acer F1 as well. just the acer customer support....well, they're new. i'm for one am waiting for qwerty with snapdragon and at least 1500mah. give a killer proc with weak battery are u insane?

@reddevil, not true about your reply to hsyong. 838pro QVGA. this is WVGA. u'll find a lot of incompatibility in terms of apps and games

of course if ppl want something around 2k or lower, the f1, or also known as the s200 neotouch is also a good choice.

neotouch still maintain the resistive touchscreen, good for handwriting which hd2 suck at.
in terms of hardware, they are almost the same.
but don't forget, software is also important.
ppl might have to go putting spb mobile shell in neotouch to improve the usability.

also, the built quality is not as good as HD2 and some have called the body 'plasticky'.
so ppl might have to consider that they've paid 2k for good hardware inside but the outside feels and looks like the phone might be worth much more cheaper.

i'm not saying the neotouch is not good, but i jz wanna highlight the few drawbacks that come with the lower price.
*
well said well said. either way i'm probably staying away from both, until there's a front cam, a smaller screen (HD2 wont fit in my pocket) and maybe qwerty. or something which the SNAPDRAGON can really show off with. from what i see with PS games for example, the difference is sort of negligible. yea there's improvements, but nothing to really make me go gaga yet.

i'm afraid if next year there's an iphone with front cam, the SNAPDRAGON may be too little, too late. but i'll wait and see.

i probably wanna do some FPS test between the SNAPDRAGON and QUAKE 3. lol, so when anyone here buys the device can we maybe meet up to do some field tests? haha

UPDATE ON POTENTIAL BUYERS: Be aware that HD 2 still has OPEN GL ES issue. which means if u were expecting a huge jump in gaming capabilities from Touch Pro 2 / Touch HD to HD2, you're going to be sorely disappointed

XDA is currently working on hacking the TG01 drivers to port it to HD2.

(that said it will perform better anyway thanks to 1GHz. but for hardcore gamers, quake 3? i doubt it. will wait for drivers and see)

Also be aware the "multitouch" is not much of a multitouch, only works for picture viewing. which means if u were expecting to play games using virtual keypad multitouch, again, it DOESNT work!

the sms issue may be operator related (meaning related to bandwidth) so malaysians MAY NOT have that issue

Wake up dude, nghj already mentioned in his preveious post that the SMS problem is
phone problem, not a bandwith or network problem!!!

Pls refer his message below :-

People from around the world have faced this problem. some i know: italy, india, czech.
occurs on different carriers: vodafon, o2. so this is PHONE PROBLEM, not network problem.

not to mention, the phone uses threaded sms function, means u can view ur sms like a chat.
but if you have a lot of sms, the phone will be very slow and laggy to load all the threaded sms.
i think loading 20++ sms also beat the 1ghz proc flat.

Hi MR PDA pro Mr Iphone Fanboy,

did u read my post? i said bandwidth related.

bandwidth. BANDWIDTH. B.A.N.D.W.I.D.T.H related

BANDWIDTH

what controls the bandwidth issue? Rom and Radio Rom.

And every country has different bandwidths. There are

four, FOUR, F.O.U.R common bandwidths used through out the world.




Yes a lot of operators are having this issue. but not EVERY operator appears to be having it. Which leads to my hypothesis that its bandwidth related.

And bandwidth reception is handled by the PHONE's rom and radio rom.

which mean it isnt a HARDWARE issue.

We can expect a fix for it in the near future. Because ROMS and RADIO ROMS can be FLASHED.

So did i say its network issue anywhere? no. i said its bandwidth, meaning the phone's rom's ability to handle certain bandwidths. So yes my entire post is saying it IS the phone's problem. SOFTWARE, not HARDWARE.

Oh and threaded messaging has been around in windows mobile since TWO YEARS ago. The problem lies not in threaded messaging but in some of the kernels for windows mobile 6.5. which can be EASILY fixed. Just gotta wait it out, or if u dun want to, flash a cook rom. Matter of fact the fix is ALREADY out regarding threaded sms lag, but these fixes have not been incorporated yet in OFFICIAL 6.5 roms.

lol, i dun understand the hype bout pinch to zoom. almost all iphone users say, while its cool, its actually not that practical and it gets tiresome. i would personally stick with slide to zoom lol.

but i would definitely wanna see multitouch used for gaming

but for now multitouch is very very limited only to certain programs. u'll have to wait for windows mobile 7 for full functionality

i had already notified my ex supervisor which is a staff of PDA Expert about these problems/issues, he will test the device once it is there then only i will buy from him.

i never ever ever trust seller's comments and reviews. they're sellers. not hardcore users like us. u can tell em the problem but they may not give an unbiased or proper review because they simply may not understand or done the correct testing. lol.

just did some field testing with this.

VERDICT: not bad. pretty speedy.SENSE 2.5 was faster on HD2, it could be cuz my TP2 was running a PORT, or because HD2 had a faster processor. hard to tell. but gaming wise there was hardly any difference, since the only games that could be tested on WVGA already run full speed on Touch Pro 2. Things remain to be seen with FPSECE though

CONS: cant fit my palm. felt like always gonna fall off.
the back cover, like, erm, i dunno, i always preferred rubberised plastic and i was always worried of scratching the HD2
Absolutely HATED the fact that the camera juts out. guarantee the finish will scratch out in time.

thats why i was considering the omnia ii, cos has amoled has helps stretch the battery life.
but i dont like the touchwiz.

but again, someone at modaco managed to put the hd2 rom on the o2.

*
he's running SENSE 2.5, not HD2 rom. there is a HUGE difference. flashing roms meant for different devices on your device can PERMANENTLY DAMAGE your PDA, and all u have left is a very expensive paper weight. he's probably using the same base windows mobile kernel and the same application files but u cannot just take any rom from another device and straight flash on your own.

and its no surprise he can run SENSE 2.5. windows mobile is versatile u can port things here and there quite easily. SENSE 2.5 has already been ported to all the older windows mobile devices as well. heck been using SENSE 2.5 BEFORE HD2 was launched here in my Touch Pro 2 lol

cool..that works better...but still cant play everything i throw at it...My Omnia HD could sad.gif

EDIT : Downloaded BsB Tweaks 1.2 that is a program with a easy to use UI for tweaking the HD2...one of the tweaks is power saving...not sure what it does...but just enabled...will report back to see if does extend battery life..

Also, whats a good BT headset ? I prefer the in ear one...where you can just push it inside the ear...
