Phone decision

[thekarens]

Run from WinMo until 7 comes out (in theory next year) WinMo as it is now is antiquated, but when 7 comes out it should be slick.

Out of the G1 and Cliq I'd get the Cliq. It has gotten pretty good reviews.

Brian -- here is the European website for the cellphone

Read the spec page

This is cnet telling you they didnt tell which carrier (later it has been verified with pictures etc that its Tmo who is picking up the phone.)

To answer your question : Bluetooth® 2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate (2.0 added stereo to BT)

The HD2 does not have a flip out keyboard. 100% touch screen.
Their words : The unprecedented 4.3-inch pixel-packed display is stunning. The world’s first capacitive touch technology on a Windows® phone along with 1 GHz processing power ensure a smooth and lightning-fast response to the lightest touch of your finger.

To compare.

HTC HD2 : 4.3-inch 480 X 800 WVGA - 1Ghz proc
HTC TouchPro2 : 3.6-inch 480 X 800 WVGA 528Mhz proc

Word is this phone will make HTC TouchPro2 users cry... because it leaves them in the dust because its that much faster.

Now to the bad words... Tmobile may like any other US carrier block / remove functions on their phones. AT&T blocks several apps from working on their iphones. Who knows what Tmobile will do with the HD2... Check and see what works on a TouchPro2 in Europe/Asia vs the one from Tmobile.

I cannot find the first phone I had.. the motorola bag phone was the upgrade model to my Panasonic Bag Phone.. I would later upgrade to the Motarola shown in the picture that cichlid1409 posted.

I would leave the company that gave me the phone and turned it in.
I would then not have a cellphone until many years later...
Sprint Sanyo phone, and then moved to Tmobile after I was tired of Sprint and all their problems I had with them.

Ohh... I forgot.. I signed up with Sprint on Aug 11, 2001

I think I am leaning towards the HD2 but I wonder how much its going to cost.

[Zulaab]

This is the only worry I have too.. and I wanna know how much Tmobile is going to cripple the phone..

I would say look at the price of the current HTC that Tmo has.. and add $200 to it..

I dont know if tmobile carrys it because im a ATT subby, buuuuut I have been 150% happy with my Blackjack2. This phone has been through EVERYTHING and more. The keys havent worn off like Crackberrys usually do either (being a girl, nails are a jerk to keypads). Ive dropped it, thrown it, rode my motorcycle with it, fell on it (not from my bike mind you LOL!!!), sat on it, etc. It has held up like a pro.

If it IS ATT only, I suppose you could always get a "unlocked" version of it on ebay. My husband did that back when the Razrs were hot and another company had the color/scheme he liked better.
