Guest kingsloi Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 Well, cut a long story short. My brother has the HTC Touch HD, and I have the 16GB Omnia. His boss has offered him an Iphone 3G, not sure for how much though. My brother asked if I wanted his HTC Touch HD, so I'd have to sell my Omnia, to give to my brother so he can give to his boss to pay for the Iphone. Now my question is, shall I do it? Since flashing my rom to WM6.5, I freaking love my omnia, Only thing that's annoying is the keyboard, can't seem to get a decent one! I know the Touch is a better phone, (OR so I read) but doesn't have the storage space the Omnia has. At the moment I'm using 14.4GB of music/film on my phone and I know I'll have to fork out a 16GB MicroSD for the HD Touch. I use my Omnia as my music player, Windows Media + Last.fm Scrooblerrrrrrrr is amazing. Is the HTC Touch a good choice for a music player? I'm just having a hard time, I'm considering it but I love my omnia. What do you guys think? Cheers :)
Guest WoZZeR999 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 If you have all of the apps and the interface you want on the omnia, then I'd say stick with it. I love the HTC keyboard on my omnia, and it's the best keyboard I've used. On that note, I do wish it had a bigger screen, and more community support (ala HTC), so I'm probably upgrading in the next couple of months. If what you have is working great for you, and you don't need fancy TF3d stuff,or new app support, I'd stick.
Guest kingsloi Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 (edited) Likewise, I use the HTC Keyboard too. It's nice, just I like the SPB one, but the keyboard theme I liked didn't have the characters I use on there, and I had to change back every time I'd use it just to get 1/2 characters :/ Well, i know the HTC Is newer, I'd love to get in to it. It's a real hard choice. What phone are you going to upgrade to? the HD? One of the things I love about the HTC is the audio jack on the top :) Edited October 1, 2009 by kingsloi
Guest WoZZeR999 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 (edited) I'm on the fence with the TP2, or Whitestone (which is the US version of the Touch Diamond2, with a 3.6" screen instead of the 3.2" GSM version). There's also the HTC Leo that's coming out soon (october for I think Orange and Vodaphone, I don't remember exactly). I would look up info on the HTC Leo (Touch HD2), it's a phone that will top the iPhone in my opinion. 4.2" capacative (multi-touch) screen, faster 1ghz snapdragon proc. Not sure if $$ is an issue, I don't know what it will cost with a contract. The Whitestone is a cross of a TD2 and a Touch HD. Just some other options (too many good phones to pick from...). If the Touch HD felt good in your hands (not too big, can't put it in your pocket), then it may be worth going after it. If not, then I'd stick to the smaller omnia.

Guest kingsloi Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 To be quite frank, they both look stunning, I didn't know mobile phones could possibly look that nice. Makes my Omnia look hideous. Well, I'm on contract, it's up in June or July I think so I'll consider "upgrading" when the time comes. The Leo looks lovely. Well, I haven't really used it much so next time I'll see him I'll have a play (with the phone).. and see what I think. But it doesn't look TOO big, just right. He just phoned me, my brothers boss wants £150 for the Iphone 3G So I have two choices (well 3) 1)Keep Omnia, buy 3G for brother and in return get the Touch HD -------- This way I can use both the Omnia and Touch HD and decide which I like most (then sell) 2)Sell Omnia, buy 3G with money from Omnia and then get the Touch HD ------Not too keen on this way because what if I prefer the Omnia? 3)Don't do a thing; keep the Omnia I'm interested in #1 because £150 isn't that bad really. AND I can try the HD for aslong as I want and if I don't like it I can always sell it. What are the going prices for Omnia / Touch HD nowadays anyway? Thanks :)
Guest Broda Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 I love my Omnia 16GB But now with the lastest SPB Mobile Shell v3.5 and with no 3D Hardware acelerator, I think about to move on HTC Touch HD because have 3D and a big Screen or Omnia II I´m thinking....
Guest reds_dada_blue Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 I have an Omnia i900. I've play with my friend HTC touch HD. IMO HTC touch HD is better than Omnia i900,but the size is a lot bigger than Omnia i900. :)
Guest adnet Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 Touch HD has bigger and better screen (800x480 against 400x240 with better sensitivity), more memory and has graphic acceleration =TouchFlo 3D. Besides, it's something new. I'm also thinking about selling my Omnia, not because I don't like it - it's just I'm a bit bored and wants some refreshing. You might considering buying TP2 - touch screen is good, but sometimes I miss a real keyboard. Overall, Yes - take Touch HD :)
Guest mo_77 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 daym.. lucky, ive been looking for that type of deal for ages, i love the sleek look on the touch hd and ad defo swap for it
Guest amprof Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 If you have all of the apps and the interface you want on the omnia, then I'd say stick with it.

I went back to the cab files that Sector had posted for M2D v2 since I was having troubles with your MegAmnia ROM. I'm happy to say that I'm having better luck having manually installed the files. However, I REALLY liked the HTC keyboard that is in your MegAmnia ROM. Is it possible to install that separately? If so, do you have a cab or files/reg edits you can share?
Guest kingsloi Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) Hi! Sorry to add salt to your wounds, but I'm pretty sure some people will get jealous with what I'm about to say. Got the Touch HD for £150 :'D get it tomorrow. Now, I'm seriously I'm trying to pick faults with my Omnia so that I have a reason to sell it! It's simple the best phone I've EVER had. Man, if I have to sell it, I'll have tears in my eyes. :) BUT, maybe I'll just fall in love with the Touch HD :'D Already missinin' the 16GB storage on the omnia :P Do any of you know what the prices used Omnia/Touch HD are, OR what you're will to pay? Cheers! :D Edited October 2, 2009 by kingsloi
Guest kingsloi Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 I did it, got it earlier. Wow. It's completely different. One thing I'm already missing is the 4way directional pad, and the "Ok" when you press it in. It's so big. Came pre-flashed with Dutty's WM6.5 Leo R2 rom, absolutely lovely! It's a real hard choice now. Sell one, keep the other... or keep both? :)
