Hmm, no one with the HTC Aria yet??

[zedbra]

im possibly gonna get the Aria, its a nice small HTC about the size of my v3

just lookin to see what mods, hacks and apps are available for it before i rush out and buy one. if nobody here is working on the Aria yet perhaps i will be the first to bring some info over!!

first order, naturally, is to jailbreak the sucker!! Who's with me?

[Clarkey]

Jailbreak? You mean root right? lol, getting a few wires crossed there.

[zedbra]

haha!! yeh, i mant Rooting, but im pretty sure its the same thing...except "jailbreak" is the term for iPhone

[Clarkey]

Nope, not quite. Rooting allows you to access the filesystem as a "SuperUser" making it accessible to make changes to the file system. Whereas Jailbreaking is modding the filesystem to allow 3rd party apps.

aha, thanks for the clarification. i only just started looking at Android phones recently..... i will be sure to get my facts straight before i post next time. LOL

BTW, the new Samsung looks pretty kick-ass. supposed to have much faster browsing and double video refresh rate than Droid and Droid X. Prolly douoble the price too

[Clarkey]

Don't worry I'm still an Android n00b, I only learnt all that last week :P. Just get a G1 for now... something cheap to get you going.

[Salku]

I would say get an g1 phone too since that phone has been pretty much modded to the max to its true potential, and that phone is pretty hard to brick so go for it

I have the HTC Aria.Love the phone,its small and quite powerful considering the CPU is set to 600 MHZ but it has the same GPU as the Nexus One and Evo 4G.If you are looking for something small and dont care about the physical keyboard it is a great phone.

[zedbra]

thanks for the suggestions guys.
