XDA Flame or Athena

[nuclear]

Indefinitely XDA Flame! What do you guys think?
Why? Well because XDA Flame is smaller. Has 2GB Built in flash ROM and no stupid microdrive. 128MB RAM. Nvidia 5500 is it? well whatever it is greater than Athena's stupid ATI Imageon. It has IrDA and what not. Athena is nothing for which some people paid something big.

For me, Athena is still the one and only.:D

[Confucious]

IrDA? WOW! that's a big draw- NOT!

Athena for me thanks, love the microdrive and large screen.

That point occurred to me too!;)

Flame - dull screen, stylus' color wears off quickly, heats up real fast when charging, cant compare to the Advantage/Athena... no way...

Used to live in Bognor, now in Burgess Hill but moving to Woking next month to be nearer work - fed up with the 1 1/2 hour comute each way!

I am very confused. I have to choose one device from HTC Kaiser, HTC Athena and XDA Flame. Which one? I love superior performance and technical detail, I dont care of the Microdrive.
Something that can fit in my pocket.

Can you guys please advise me something. Its really urgent. I have to decide like today.

[Confucious]

It depends what you want! for me the Athena is the best - but it's big. The kaiser is a good choice if you don't want the large screen and I don't really know the flame.
I would think they are all good devices but each has it's strengths. You have a choice - what is important to you? To me the large screen was very important, if pocketability is to you then the Athena probably isn't for you.

I think the XDA Flame is for me. I think the Kaiser is a rip off compared to XDA Flame. On www.mobileplanet.com the XDA Flame is $600. On other websites XDA Flame is $1100. Why? And why would the Kaiser be more expensive than XDA Flame? I really love VGA display 480p. hehe. I dont like QVGA. This is my first QVGA device HTC Kaiser and I really really dislike it.

XDA flame: no GPS, no keyboard, no HSDPA, FMradio, size 125 x 73 x 17.5 mm
Athena: GPS, keyboard, HSDPA, no FMradio, bigger screen, size 133 x 98 x 16 mm (20 with Kb)

The question is: would you like to spend more to have more? do you need more?
You answered Yes, Yes? Athena is your device!

:eek:
Why you buy flame?!!
Why you sell your Athena?:confused: !!!!!!!!! (It is a bad work:D:p )

[lmf_slacker]

Oh u own one?

i do not own one and will never, toyed with my pal's flame and it is a major disappointment, the XDA IIs triumphs over it anytime, and of course the Advantage wins it many folds, am not totally brushing the flame off however it is really a turn-off.

I will come back to Athena some day. Maybe I will get the I-Mate Ultimate 7150. Don't know exactly at this point which device to get. All I know that we will see a huge price drop on Athena's on eBay. Already I am seeing prices as low as $750.
