Exclamation HTC Sense UI

Hi there everyone!!!

This is my first post.
I've the htc topaz ,have just bought it a few days ago , so far very nice phone , but the battery sucks.

I was wondering if there will be a port for HTC Sense UI or Android Hero for this phone. Does anyone knows if using Android on it , would it consume less battery ?
I've bought this phone with the intentions to install Android on it.

If you want to run Android buy a Android phone duuude!

Also it will only make the battery worse, more juice will be needed.

They are available.

I know a lot of scandinavians buy stuff from over the border, and the non vodafone branded Magic is on sale in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. I don't doubt for one second that it is on sale in Finland as well.

But peter chou has hinted that it might make it's way onto existing devices and also in some form onto windows mobile.

You never know, this might be in the next update for the topaz....I doubt it, but you never know!

Angry Android SUCKS!!!

Hi all,

last friday I bought a D2 after 2 weeks with an HTC Dream with Android.

I don't like Android at all.

You have to buy separately Office, PDF and no navigator available (ANDNAV is not an option).

And the battery lasted only one day.

All the things that are working with WM6 are a trouble with Android, and as I use it for work, I don't mind about themes, wallpapers and nonesenses.

Do yourself a favor and don't look for Android. I even would prefer an iphone instead.
Thanks all.

Yup, Tom Codon has cooked a ROM with WM6.5 and Manila 2.5 - only "beta" though and has lots of bugs as yet - if you want it, you can get it from the rom section
Past: i-mate jam, XDA Exec, XDA Orbit, XDA Stellar, Palm Treo Pro,HTC Diamond
HTC Diamond 2 (with Dutty 6.5, Sense Ultimate R6), Palm Pre, HTC HD2, HTC Desire, HTC HD7: NOW HTC TITAN X310e and Motorola XOOM and HTC one x
