I got one ... - HTC Tornado

I got a test version from vodafone.
very impressive 240X320 screen even hard to see each pixel (because too small).
it is handy and light weight. The joystick feels like sonyEricsson T68 but has a small rubber on the top so feels better.
1.3 MP Camera does not have flash/light.
Layout uses different way from HTC universe, which dimension of logic-pixel is changed.
So some software show very small size text (although it still very clear!)
if they use absolute unit rather than logic unit when CreateFont.
It has some HTC software such as connection manager and debugging tools. It supports WIFI -- it will be fantastic if skype supports SP2005!
I love windows media player 10 for SP. It feels like its PPC version.
It is a pity that HTC changed their earphone head specification again.
so I cannot use Himalaya or BlueAngel earphones.
Finally I found I could use my old Sony Ericsson P800 earphone! :lol:
And sound quality of SE earphone is much better than HTC!
I don't understand why stupid HTC design incompatible earphones for each different mobile phone!
expect we waste more money on better earphones and stereo adapters?

You got it in one, they make money by changing the design of them.
I've been waiting for this phone for a long time. How do you find it, is it worth the money etc..? Any pics? Feel free to PM me if you want instead.

Sorry I don't have another mobile phone with good camera now.
I am afraid you cannot buy it. This is a "test only" phone.

Windows Mobile phones from Chinese brands - yay or nay?

Hi, I am off to China for a short holiday in a fortnight, and was thinking of buying a mobile phone while I'm there. China is like the Burgess shale of mobile phones, with hundreds of form factors, operating systems and features, most of which will become extinct in what seems like a few months!
Anyway, I was looking on eBay (as usual) for a preview of what to get and encountered 3 Windows Mobile 5 phones. I was wondering whether anyone has any experience with these devices, and whether they are any good. They are all pretty cheap, and no doubt even cheaper in China!
I think this is called the V111:

This one is the "Hoilday Q9" (how cute!):
And this one is the Hauyu P30:
Edit: I just had to post this bonus - a phone which looks like an HTC Herald/P4350, but which fails by not actually running Windows Mobile!
Check this out.....The Asus P750 available in Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Malaysia.
http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/index.php?action=expand,56871
The Asus looks really, really nice, but what I'm looking for is a really cheap phone from one of the less reputable brands. I used to use two HTC Phones (a Magician and a Universal) but currently have a Ubiquio 501 (for me it is the perfect balance of size and functionality) so I'm not averse to experimenting a little on gadget paths less well-trodden.
When you really get down to it virtually all WinMo phones are made in China/Taiwan. I'm just wondering whether, in the perceived lack of quality control from unknown brands, any of these are actually any good!

HTC Hermes (SPV M3100) offered £15 or FREE -(spare parts/repair)

Firstly, I'd like to apologise if this is the wrong place to post. (Got a banging headache...)
I've my old Hermes (SPV M3100), with no screen and some cosmetic damage, especially at front (see picture - silver strip has come off in 2 pieces).
Included is a quite new glossy black hard plastic case which covers the whole handset but it can be used with it on on - like a clear crystal case for normal candybar phones.
Also, a 3.5mm headphone extension/adapter, original earphones, battery, charger, and 2 leather cases (including original).
It's a bit crappy in condition but it does work but there's no screen...
(I had 2 - the screen on the other, which was in perfect condition broke so I took this one).
See the pic.
start at £15 paypal, for a sponsored walk/run we're doing (proceeds to Red Cross for Burmese and Chinese aid). Is this too high a price? I can promise every penny (after postage) will go to the Red Cross. I'll provide you with proof or whatever if needs be.
I'll stick it on ebay if you want, to prove I'm no bullshitter or conman
Thanks, remember your money's going to a good cause. (Better this than recycling the handset).
PM me for any more info or reply below.
I'll also swap it for a good pair of standard (3.5mm) earphones. (But this'll have to be soon)

Honestly, I do not know how to design a phone, nor I know what software to use, but I did some simple design using powerpoint and hopefully you would understand what I had in my mind.
Let me know what you have in your mind and what you think of this kind of phone, if this comes to market. Will that be useful really for consumers?
Regards
Swaps

Dear abdelamine,
Thanks for your reply
What is the model name of the sharp handset you put in there?
Cheers
Swaps
Sharp EM One
Definitely an attractive concept on paper.
The practical downside of a "dual slider" like that is thickness, though. You'd probably wind up with a bulkier device than you'd like.
I think a good, solid touchscreen really reduces the need for a number pad, and since you've put a nice, full-face widescreen on there, I think I'd get by fine without one.
Essentially I would like to have dual touch interface,
1. Touch screen display
2. Touch screen pad (when you slide down it shows number pad)
3. Touch screen keyboard (when you slide left it shows full querty)
With no buttons apart from the four standard buttons below the display. I hope the two touch based screens (display & input) will help reduce the weight and need of having hardware buttons as keys.

What happened to the Sony Clie?

I can remember back in the day when I first set my eyes on the UX50. What a beauty I thought and even now, 6 years on, I still look at it and think what if they had continued the line.
I thought the clam-shell design was very functional with its swivel screen and camera. Everything on it just seemed so right. Imagine how one would look now with the technology of this day and age. A big bright OLED screen filling out the front of the device, great graphics, blistering speed with a slim form factor and space for a full sized physical keyboard etc.
I really believe they made a mistake when they announced that they would discontinue the device. If they were to make a new similar device I know for sure that I be one of the first to snap it up.
So what do you guys think of a new PDA/phone coming out with a clam-shell, swivel screen action design?

[ACCESSORIES][REVIEW] 2015 Anker Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker (A3143)

Hey XDA,
Here is my review of the 2015 Anker Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker including HD pics. I purchased this from Amazon UK for £39.99 and I'm sure it's available from your countries Amazon.
These speakers although small pack a serious punch and deliver crisp highs as well as bass heavy lows, a brilliant all-rounder with a premium look and feel. They are one of ankers newest devices in their audio range and they definitely do not disappoint, with a modern look, easy to use buttons with likewise connectivity and the added benefit of an AUX 3.5mm input.
These speakers will outperform anything within it's price range however you use it, whether connected directly to a PC watching a movie or pumping out your the latest songs on your phone, although I found I prefer it for gaming and movies. I had also recently bought a Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth speaker for around the same price and honestly it's just tucked away under this Anker one now.
Every device that is bluetooth enabled should work, that's including PCs and laptops (which from experience do not always work over bluetooth) and if not the 3.5mm jack offers a seamless connection with difficulty to other and/or older devices such as basic MP3 players.
Overall I genuinely cannot fault this speaker it has far exceeded expectations and also blown every other one I own out of the water!
