HTC Imagio
 

Should I purchase this?

Trade up for my Omnia? They are all out of the Touch Pro 2, which is the same phone except for these differences:

Imagio has no hardware keyboard.
Touch Pro 2 doesn't include all the VCast stuff, or TV.
Touch Pro 2 has a 3.5 inch screen, Imagio has a 3.6 inch screen.
Imagio has an antenna for the Verizon TV which can be used as a kickstand.

I REAAAAALLLLY want the Touch Pro 2, but they are out of stock everywhere. I am still unsure of a touch screen only keyboard. Maybe if I get this I will trade someone for the Touch Pro 2...

What is folk's experience with touch screen only, no hardware keyboard?

yeah they have been sold out for a while unfortunately :sad: im glad i got mine though and just pray that nothing happens to it until they get more in stock cause if you do get one as a replacement they have a slim amount of refurbs... YUCK!!

I am not impressed with either as of right now.....There are better ones coming...just hang on!

But I also know how difficult it can be to no buy the new ,shinny ,awesome piece of hardware. . .
So If you want my input.
IMAGIO for it!!!!
better camera and screen all for the price of a keyboard that will prolly get mapped wrong on a couple roms anyway.
ALSO if it appeals to you: with out a keyboard you will stand a better chance of getting a better Android rom.

thats my opinions:-l

Meh. It's not about the shiny new hardware, its about functionality for me. The Omnia runs nice, but is buggy as hell. It frustrating. I am used to the HTC TouchFlo interface, love HTC phones. I wonder if the Internet Sharing cab that floats around will work on WM 6.5....

Re: HTC Imagio
 

remember the imagio does have 6.5 already stock and .1 inch larger screen than the tp2... hahahha wait ofr hte tp2 brudda you wont be dissapointed.

I bought the Imagio, and it is AMAZING. I hated that Omina i910 so much. HTC owns. I thought part of the problem was not having a hardware keyboard, but it is so easy not having one with this Imagio that I rarely even notice.

The video performance on this is absolutely stunning. I was able to remove the TV application from startup using SKTools freeing up a buttload of memory (52% to 65%-68% free), and the built in tools for customization eliminate the need for many third party tools.

The lock screen wallpaper is actually customized using native settings, no need for a third party application. Of course TouchFlo3D 2 is a work of art. The other screen shots are Orb running on Opera, on the Imagio.

All I want now is to remove the "curtains" or the translucent areas under the carrier name and the TF3D icon bar, and to remove the Verizon banner at the top.

This is how a phone is supposed to run.

Re: HTC Imagio
 

I returned it as part of Verizon's "Worry free Guarantee". I waited until day 29 of my first 30 days trying to get a Touch Pro 2, but they are permanently out of stock according to two of the reps I spoke with. I wish I could wait until December/January when Win 7 mobile will be here and the 5 inch Dell Android phones hit....

they wouldnt put all the money into the phone and than dump it after being htis successful... they just dont know when they are going to be back in stock
