Thinking of buying a XV6900... But I got a few questions for the PROS!!
OK so I've had the e815 for about 4 year now and I love the thing. I've tried many phones to replace it. None could compare. I've played with a friends iPhone and love the response time and the way the menu flows. But I dislike the lack of options. (Plus I'm PC till I die). I've seen windows mobile phones with touch screens emulate the iPhone, and other hacks like free GPS navigation, but I was wondering if these were any good or even comparable.
My questions about the XV6900 are:
-Can you really "flash" the ROM and make use of the GPS, and by that I mean basically turning your phone in to a Tom Tom? (I belive I read this was possible with the Q9M)
-Is there apps out there where you can make the text buttons bigger, (basically like an iPhone) or does that come with the iPhone emulation.
-Can you make the whole thing have bigger buttons so that it would basically be using your fingers only? I don't know the term for doing something like this. But I guess it would be changing the UI or making a "Skin" for the UI
-Is there anyone out there that has this phone and also used an iPhone? If so how do the 2 compare in pros and cons.
-Are then other cool hacks that I haven't heard of? The one where I can play NES is nice. I had it on my Q9M, will that work on the XV6900?
I bet at this point you're are just like, wow dude just get flippin' iPhone... Well again, I hate MACs, but! I still respect them. They have a good work flow and ease of use. I see some of these PDA phones that look like they are only made for some businessman in need of spread sheets and instant e-mail and all that Jazz. But not me
I basically want an iPhone, but don't want to give Steve Jobs any more money. Or anyone at that. I've been using reverse engineered software since photoshop 2.0. I like the Idea of having total control, and not paying a dime for it. Some of these new touch screens like the Dare and the Voyager are a little too cookie cutter for my likeing.
Thank you in advance for any useful info you might be able to provide!!
