No, that's with mine clocked to 710 with JJ9. It's smooth on the early levels but slows down when things get busy.

which one would you lot choose between the SA and the galaxy apollo?

The SF is a better phone for the money mainly due to the higher screen resolution. But the biggest factor for me is the community behind the SF is huge so you don't have to put up with the bloat added by the phone companies as people have released roms that are clean and fast

I'm having problems rooting the phone, I enter fastboot-windows flash boot boot.blade.superboot.mcri.r3.img into command prompt but it says it isn't a recognised command etc. etc., so I dunno what I'm doing wrong

Make sure you change the dir to where the files actually are. By default on Vista/7 it's C:/Users/Administrators I think.

cd.. to go back one step.

That worked

, thanks

Edit: Lol, just rebooted it and the Orange logo is blue.. hmm I think somethings gone wrong, after I turn my screen off it won't come back on and it looks all washed out

Edit2: all the Orange apps are gone even tho I've only rooted it (Ive not installed a custom ROM yet)

Superboot was only meant for the OLED sanfran phones, you've got a TFT screen and need to use an updated boot image.

is it ok using ClockWork Recovery Mod then?, and kinda my luck getting a TFT 1 instead a of OLED

They're all tft nowadays, the oleds went pretty quick, and orange had a time keeping up with demand.

Im however curious about the zte skate that's coming, a kind of updated blade.

Here are some instructions from modaco that should sort it for you. It's a little old now, so make sure to get the updated versions of clockwork, etc.

Edit: also you can unlock the San Fran for free

They look significantly cheaper, the grey one is a lot more htc like. Also the white one has a more polished finish too, grey one has a more dull/matt finish.

Get a grey one.

Hmmm, thanks

was concerned the white would look cheap, dull/matt works for me!

I agree with you there

Anyone got Co-Pilot running on this? How does it perform?

Thanks

asim18 · 11 Mar 2011 at 23:03

I use Co-Pilot. Works well. Speed is acceptable. Good interface.

I do prefer TomTom on my HTC Touch 2 though.

MoNkEyMiKeY · 11 Mar 2011 at 23:43

Co-pilot for me is very jerky. Aura sygic is very smooth but lacking routing options. It did a good job of getting me from Lowestoft to Nottingham though.

will13 · 11 Mar 2011 at 23:56

Do any of you guys have signal problems?, mine stays on R a lot after booting it up, also this (and the HTC Desire I used to have) won't go on 3G in the same places my Blackberry Bold and iPhones do
