i like p3400 very much ....its really tough phone.....even though it lacks wifi (major problem) and it doesnt hv 3.5 mm jack

its' been more thn one year since i hv Gene ....n i gotta say that m very satisfied with its service..and battery life..

after gene i hv purchased two More HTC devices...HTC Diamond and HTC Touch HD....
but still i like gene so much...that i even dont wanna resell it...
i m thinkin to keep it....untill it lasts...


Some features r even better than HTC Diamond
like its Sound ( TOuch HD has best though)
Battery..(unbeatable)
memory card expansion (diamond lacks),,,

So....my opinion is.....if u hv Gene once,,....u cant forget it.....

looks like u say......

hi all

reading all this it looks like all u guys are saying curb that bad itch to buy new phone and just keep the gene it looks quite convincing so may be ill keep my gene for some time till the itch to buy is so bad and may be down the line 3g would get cheaper thanks to all here for ur inputs :D:D
cause u kinda convinced me not to buy a new phone and my wife she would be happy about this as shes already kicking my A when i said im planning to buy a new phone :D:D:D

thanks a million guys :D

Its actually not just Gene, I can never forget my S710 (I gifted it to some one). First when I got my hands on it, I thought OMFG what a device! But now when I see touch Pro, my mouth starts watering :D. So, the first "Good" phone will always have a special place in your heart. Like I have a really soft corner for my Vox (and Nokia E50 :p).
So in my opinion, if you feel like changing your phone (always a good idea :D), Go for a higher processor. You can find specs at gsmarena.com.
I personally wish, I can some day afford a Touch Pro, or its successor or atleast a Tilt.

well bro...i dont think so...that having higher processor makes a phone good...

having both touch HD n Touch diamond...i still think that gene is fast enough...
cuz in touch HD...i cant play even a video right......i mean...whtever format i use....at high quality (touch HD is supposed to play vid at high resolution 800x480) it always gets stuck.....and if i use low bitrate n low resolution...than it looks so bad.....

and both of thes high performance phones get hang a lot....

video in diam is good....but still watching vids in Touch HD at optimum quality is mystery for me..
ever core player in both phones doesnt support hardware acceleration.....so...its useless.......cuz using HTC for watching video.....sucks....

i mean no functions in HTC album at all...

only thing with thes higher devices r ther RAM.......plenty of free RAM is available in thes phones.. ....so...thts good....

and......wht to tell abt GPS........both touch HD n Diam seems so worth gps technology..........it takes so much time for getting "fix"..

so....i mean,......we waste lot of money in thes higher end phones (Diam is of Rs 24K n Touch HD comes in 42K .....and we get wht...?? ....

HTC should do something about it........really....i mean it..

but both phone u said has issues with their graphics drivers , just look in the dev hack section and u will know what i mean :D. HD is notorious for its play back issues. Any OMHO a faster processor is required for faster execution of code :D. And higher the graphics, more complex the code.

Also a ppc is like a PC only if u upgrade your pc, wont you go for a higher CPU?

@ Guys : Any idea about Samsung Omnia pro 7230? It is selling at 13-14 K, has wm6.1, 3G enabled, Qwerty keypad and looks like good business phone (blackberry style). See Specifications

Is it worth a buy as I am planning to purchase a Qwerty keypad phone with WM OS and relatively good battery life?

Please suggest some options within 15K? Blackberry or Nokia E63 ruled out...:D. Hope some support will also be available for these devices as well.

I might say I spent the last week, doing less appointments and worrying more about my cute but bricked New Gene, but finally succeeded today in the morning at 2 A.M. (Thanx to Orefkov n Sumit).

But that has made the phone even dearer to me, I was a mad fan of Nokia, but HTC P3400i has definitely usurped the position now.

Planning for an Xperia next though, but Gene will always be my first n foremost in the touch category.........

@Guys : My Gene is dead:mad:It fell in bucket full of water:eek: and has been declared as not worth further repair. Sent to burial....

I have bought Samsung OmniaPro 7320 ( Similar to Samsung Jack) without touch screen. It has Windows 6.1 Standard, 3 G, 3 MP camera, Wifi , GPS all other features. Sounds Great:)

But I am really missing the customised ROMs, applications, home screen themes and ..the Touch Screen feel. Many of WM applications like Clear temp, Resco Explorer, Oxios Memory etc. fail to install:confused:.

Could anybody help/direct me to sites where I can decent customised home screen and some custom applications compatible with Samsung Omnia Pro??

I hear Samsung would be making available WM6.5 upgrade available shortly. God Knows:rolleyes: I am really missing XDA developers.

Samsung Omnia Pro is a piece of cr@p. Regret buying it. BTW you can install apps using clearsecurity.
Waiting to save enough dough to buy a HTC Touch Screen device ... pay be Touch2
