Which HTC mobile phone should I buy?

Question:
I am going to buy a HTC phone but I do not know which one to get?

1) HTC Hero (£25 a month contract) (24 months)
2) HTC Touch 2 (£15 a month contract) (24 months)
3) HTC Magic

Which one of these phones is better in terms of, internet, messaging, touch screen etc...
Thanks
Answer:
Hero first, then Magic, then Touch 2. But consider T-Mobile's G2 Touch, it's the same spec as the Hero and you may get it cheaper.

Android Everywhere -- Eclair on Old Windows Mobile Phones

To say I’m suffering from Android (s goog) overload is an understatement. I’m simply trying to keep up with the Nexus One developments, but other devices are in the headlines too. And some of them aren’t even Android devices — but they could be. Android Community notes the effort to bring Android 2.1 to a handful of Windows Mobile handsets. All of the four devices are made by HTC, but they’re not the latest and greatest. I’m talking about the Tilt / Kaiser, Touch / Vogue, Touch Dual /Niki and Touch Cruise / Polaris. Some of these phones are two years old so they don’t have the latest and greatest hardware. The HTC Touch, for example, only has a 201 MHz CPU, so I’m amazed it can handle Google’s latest mobile platform.

Of course, “handle” is a relative term — if you go this route, don’t expect everything to work. I’m already reading about some hardware challenges like no camera or bluetooth support just yet. Often times, these ROMs make progress one slow painful step at a time, so a fair amount of patience is a pre-requisite. But if you have one of these devices sitting around just taking up space, this could be a fun project and offer exposure to Android at the same time. Would I take the plunge if I used one of these Windows Mobile (s msft) phones on a regular basis? Not a chance. I would consider it, however, if I’ve already replaced these devices with another primary handset. It certainly wouldn’t offer stellar performance when compared to devices of today, but would provide the chance to expand mobile platform horizons.

Note that you don’t have to completely wipe Windows Mobile from your device. There are a few dual-boot solutions out there — HaRET, being one — that can run Android right from an SD card in your handset. Here’s a timely example of that method with Android 2.1 running on the HTC Niki.

Root: The Begining

No this is not a flashback, pseudo-historical docu-drama about slavery. (shout out to A. Haley) Although this scenario could end up being painful in its own right.

I’ve decide to root my Hero.  After weeks of research, forum reading, much deliberation I’ve decided to take the plunge.  So last night I downloaded every file that was recommended for any situation that might arise from the process.  Snatched up my handy dandy USB cable and I was ready!

The method of choice was the “one-click” root method using Fresh Pre-Kitchen 0.2. The ROM Fresh 1.1. Sounds simple right?  I have no idea.

I never made it that far.  For some unknown reason, my computer will not let me install the HTC USB drivers. Now I can connect my phone to my PC to use as a storage device or to use Double Twist with no issues.  It will not connect in USB debugging mode, which of course, is required in order to root my phone.  I have checked several forums, and followed several sets of advice to no avail.  I’ve deleted all possibly conflicting drivers.  Totally wiped and reinstalled the HTC drivers.  Downloaded and attempted to use the ADB drivers.  Nothing.  The drivers refuse to install.  If anyone has any insight as to why this is occurring, please share your wisdom!  My PC specs are below:

Toshiba Satellite

Windows XP Media Center Ed. v.2002 SP2

Intel CPU t2250 @ 1.73GHz, 2GB RAM

Meanwhile I suppose I will continue to work on this.  By the way, yes I did verify that it isnt a general USB issue. Bah…. [meditation & slow breathing]…

HTC, you have our attention: The HTC Legend

We’ve never really discussed Android or HTC much on the pages of The Guide before. The reason was simple enough: we just didn’t think that Android was mature enough as an operating system and HTC’s hardware designs never quite managed to tick those crucial Prodigal boxes of ours: well-made, good-looking, and distinctive. Well, with the arrival of the HTC Legend powered by the latest Android OS (2.1), it looks like that’s all about to change. Unveiled yesterday at Mobile World Congress, HTC’s latest device has definitely caught our attention.

A lot of media has been focused on HTC’s other big announcement, its new uber-device, the Desire. But, for our money, the fact that the Legend is machined from a single block of aluminium and has more modest proportions makes it the more interesting of the two. The new device also sports a 3.2-inch AMOLED display and HTC’s new optical trackpad.

We’re so taken with the way this thing looks that we’ve decided to do a little of HTC’s marketing for it and have embedded its promo video after the break.

What do you think?

HTC Scorpion: A 1.5 GHz Android Monster?

Sweet mother of mercy, I behold the pale rider of the apocalypse. His name is Scorpion, and he is a next generation smartphone from HTC. AndroidSpin reports that the Scorpion, also known as the Olympian, will be the phone to capture the Nexus One’s place at the top of the Android hierarchy. It is rumored to pack the Android 2.2 OS and a 1.5 GHz processor. To be honest, that’s a little scary. My Nexus One has a 1 GHz processor and I rarely notice even the slightest bouts of lag. Adding another 50% onto that processor’s power will just be ridiculous. The leaked build file also mentions WiMax. Can you imagine a 1.5 GHz 4G Android smartphone? That is BASICALLY a netbook that fits in the palm of your hand. Sorry Nexus One…when this thing launches, you and I might be through.

Unconfirmed: T-Mobile March Releases Include HTC HD2, Motorola Cliq XTP [Unconfirmed]

A Power Point marketing slide, purportedly showing a number of T-Mobile phones with March release dates, has leaked to the web. Notables include the HTC HD2 (3/24), Moto Cliq XT (3/10). and the Nokia Nuron (3/17). While the slide deals in unconfirmed data, the release dates and phones mentioned are completely within reason. Case in point, sites like TMO News, from whence this slide came, have been getting rumors and tips abound in recent months that hinted the Nuron and XT, at least, were due out in March. Well, there’s that, and the fact that I very much doubt there’s some troll out there who’s purposefully leaking false release dates about Motorola and Nokia phones on the T-Mobile network. I could be wrong. [PPC Geeks via TMO News]
