What phone started your love afair with PPCs? - Page 4

It all started with the Moto Q that I got on sale at Alltel. It was my first foray into Windows Mobile. I got it in August 2007 & pretty much just used it stock. That was until I came across this forum & saw how great a smartphone could be. After my girlfriend got a Palm Treo I moved up to my first HTC phone, the Titan. I was hooked after that and have never looked back. Then I got the TP1 (which is still a good looking phone by the way) and most recently the TP2.
I've become a real fan(boy) of Windows Mobile; preferring that platform over all the others. I've really become a fan of HTC PPC's because of all the tweaks & roms that I can use to enhance my phone. (man I really miss WM6.5, I can't wait until the TP2 is HSPL unlocked )

Moto mpx200 (wm2003)
Tmobile Dash
Sprint Mogul
Sprint Touch Pro
Verizon Imagio

Mogul was the only phone I really didn't like much from the start but it was my first touch screen so I still had lots of fun learning.

I move from site to site depending on who has the best following for the device. The mpx200 had me at modaco most of the time where i flashed my first rom upgrading to wm2005 lol. The dash was @ howard forums and XDA. The Mogul brought me here and stayed through the touch pro. Imagio will probably keep me here as well since it is so close to the tp2. Once they are both unlocked roms will probably be fairly easy to port one way or the other.

Thread moved to proper forum!

For me it was the PPCPE from T-Mobile. It was pretty bad out of the box, but XDA helped with that. But I ended up getting rid of it because the data was snail like. It was a couple of years until I got the 6600, which on 1X was tolerable.

haha my history is as follows >HTC Touch Pro

It was a rainy afternoon, my friend Shawn at work had shown me his apache and I was impressed by the device. So I ventured to HTC's website to browse their various PPCs. At the time they had a two PPC's that peaked my interest: The touch diamond and the touch pro. My upgrade eligibility was a non-factor and buying a phone outright was out of the question. To ebay I went the fateful day. Looking at the prices of the diamond and pro. It appeared with my budget that I would have to settle for a diamond, seeing as it was about 80-100 less on ebay. Then while pondering the prospect of picking my premier PPC I perceived a puzzeling picture provided by a peddler proclaiming to provide for payment a HTC Touch Pro Diamond. The listing attempting to garner more traffic through superfluous keywords had by the erroneous title defeated the ambition it had in its design. Seeing that the image was not stock, and the device in good condition, I placed a bid on the item. The ordeal concluded with my ownership of the TP for the diamond's price, and a love for PPCs.

I went from a Motorola E815 to the XV-6700, XV-6800 and now to the Touch Pro 2.

What did it for me was the silly Verizon GUI interface that was being installed on the dumbphones regardless of who the manufacturer was. The 6700 gave me a lot of options for customization which is what I wanted.
