Isn't there any WM lovers at Esato?

A couple of my mates. Meet JasJar and K-Jam (many pics)
P990 vs HTC TyTn
Windows Mobile v/s Symbian OS
K-Jam - Ask Q's and Share Knowledge (now with pics)
etc etc (there's quite alot more dedicated threads too)
I think you'll find there are quite a few people here who like WM

to be honest i gave for it a try once, but i just couldnt get used to it. maybe bit off topic, but are there high res screen wm fones too with 16 m colours? my friend used lately samsumg i750, it had a nice screen ( as i recall it wasnt that "clear" like n80 )
Posted by masseur
until now, WM is limited to 65000 colours but I have read that WM6 will improve on that
I'm not sure how you cannot get used to it when its design principal is based around the same UI as windows on pc
Posted by BobaFett
thats true, but the design, icons looked so childish for me... u might think i am mad, but things like the rec icon, battery and so on disturbed me. maybe cos they look the same in every wm fones ( i do know, it has to ), but i always got the feling, i have in my hand a years old fone in another housing ( notice, i dont focus on features, when i talk about it )
Posted by masseur
as a default sure, WM phone screen payout looks the same, but they are highly customsiable with themes and there some amazing "redesigns" out there which totally give a personal touch and thats something you can't do with SE phones (or many others).
Just about everything displayed on screen can be changed/removed et

The Ubiquio 401 I'm trying to sell currently, has a 262k screen(WM2005 for PPC, not phone):

....it's alsmost as bright as a Samsung screen! Definately nicer than the average Nokia display....
Just a shame I don't get on with windows!

@masseur

@Bob
Its not dat i didn find any WM forum on d net... i was jus tellin, there's no dedicated one on Esato...
U c there r threads that compares Symb n WM, there is a thread comparin P990i n TyTN, there's a thread discussin bout K-Jam...
But the prob is dat these threads doesn't last 4 long. Posters wud dump it after a few months of discussion because d device wud get outdated!
Wat we want is a thread where WM lovers cud gather, share thoughts, tips, news n help newbies etc... such a thread, i think wud b better than occasional news breaks, comparisons, discussions etc...
Atleast we cud form a well maintained n informativ archive from a dedicated thread...
wat do ya say?
Posted by Aware
How about editing the title of this thread!?
Seems like Bugsiiy and Bicket started the respective N-series and E-series threads off their own backs, it's the enthusiasm for the models that keeps the threads popular!
Wouldn't be a problem, would it, Masseur??
Posted by ali_baba
Ya... masseur i'd lik 2 hear frm u
Shal we begin a dedicated WM PPC n Smartfon thread?
No need 2 edit dis threads topic. Here we shal discuss, what all shud be d dedicated threads input.
Wat do ya say, every1?

I have a T-Mobile Vario II that has been unlocked and unbranded to a TYTN and think it is great. The camera, even though it is 2MP, is pretty rubbish and call handling is not that quick but apart from that it is a great phone.
Posted by Aware
JC, does the TYTN still have HSDPA locked out as a feature??
Ali, I'd love to know more about your custom MPX200; how do you tell it to run WM5 instead of WM3??
Had a little play with the Ubiquio 401 when I got it, it's very good(and quite fast) for a non-3G phone! If I wasn't a Unix/Linux man, I'd probably keep it!
Posted by BobaFett
@aware thats a great idea .-) imo nobody would mind if there would be wm thread, espceailly not massuer, who is a wm "fan" itself
Posted by ali_baba
There there there... jcwhite n Aware already took d flyin start!
Shal we begin d followin WM threads?
» All about Windows Mobile hardware
» All about Windows Mobile software
Is there any other better name or more topics needed? Shud we split them again to PPC n smartfons?
Cud somone wit full time access to a PC begin dem. So dat it'd b easy 4 editin n addin contents. I'm postin frm my beloved MPx200 n at present don hav a PC at hom...
Posted by BobaFett
wondows mobile thread, thats the best and most simple imo, cos it includes all it has to offer. or maybe wm forum
Posted by ali_baba
@Aware...
I had a gud experience wit WM5 in my MPx200...
I think we shud sav dis topic for our bout to begin WM thread... shal we?
Posted by ali_baba
@Bob 'Windows Mobile thread' might sound simple n enough... But don 4get dat in WM itself there's 2 iterations (atleast 4 now), WM PocketPC n WM Smartfon.
So if we choose a single thread it'd b hard to contain everythin bout both those iterations. That's why i thought bout splitin WM topics to Hardware (where we discuss bout d different fons) & Software (where we discuss bout WM apps n games)
Posted by BobaFett
doesnt matter how u call the thread, what counts is what u find inside the thread itself. dont make it so difficult. just click my sig. i wnated to share my passion, it started as a discussion and turned out lately as the biggest a source of knowledge about ///.
so just start to discuss it, name it simple and let it go

Hi all,
The last Windows powered PDA i had was a HP 3980 i think that's the right model number but was a long time ago. Hopefully i am about to get a TyTn and as i have a T-Mobile Web N Walk account am looking forward to makeing use of the 3.5g HSDPA up 1.8mbps Data speeds. As unfortunately due to ill health i am moving back to my parents and no broadband access would really be a pain. I have read so much about the TyTn i am really looking forward to checking it out, I have already discovered that there is a download that will enable me to sync Outlook to my Yahoo calendar, e-mails and contacts keeping them all synced, plus there appear to be loads of other tweaks and things to play with and change.
Marc

So we'v decided to begin 2 WM threads, as said abov. Right?
The topics shal b:
» All about Windows Mobile hardware
&
» All about Windows Mobile software
all right?
where's masseur?
I'd lik 2 begin d thread. But as i don hav access 2 a PC it'd b difficult for me 2 keep the front page updated all d time. Can anyone else do d job of initiation?
Posted by Dogmann
Hi ali,
I will try and add as much input as i can obviously once i have a WM device and start playing with it and finding software. But unfortunately due to pain and meds right now. Would find trying to actually maintain a thread is beyond me just now.
