SO, I already have a wallaby, and love it. But it does fall short on several needs/wants that I have. I'm confused on which unit is which, and what thier differences are, so I would like to poll anyone that will comment....

I want BT.... phone BT, but networking and a BT stereo headset would be nice

WiFi

The best camera. Which one has the best picture..... I'd like to take decent enough pictures that I could print 5X7's and they would look respectable.

Ability to unlock, I'm using Tmo USA

And I want the ability to cook or modify the ROM/Ext ROM. I love the fact that I can upgrade to whichever ROM I want, with whichever programs I'd like, that survives a hard reset.

I like the fact that the Blueangel has more buttons on the face (for gaming and custom apps) and the slide keyboard is nice, but I think an external clipon/plugin type would be fine.

SO, who knows what????? I'm confused with which unit is codenamed what. Also, I use phonescoop.com to do my research on exactly which unit is which, and they don't list all the variants. I think it would be better if someone would post a thread or make a wiki page on the features and benafits of each unit, as well as the codename. If someone would provide me with the info, I'll make a wiki page(s) with all of them.

Thanks in advance!

SO.... I feel like an ASS.

After looking around for a moment, I see that some of us have participated in the wiki a little further than the last time I looked.... and I found some answers. My only questions are...

is there anything that you can do to a Himilaya that you can't do to an Alpine?

And is the camera actually better, or is it just software enhancements? I've read info that says better hardware and/or software......

TIA!

Well, in time you can do the excact same thing to them both, i'm thinking about installing what ever ROM you want when a tool for doing so is finished.

The camera is better and it aint just software. 1.3 MegaPx like the Magician.

Try google (http://www.google.com/search?hl=da&newwindow=1&rls=GGLD%2CGGLD%3A2005-02%2CGGLD%3Aen&q=%22htc+alpine%22&lr=)
