BlackBerry Theme? - HTC Excalibur

hey whats up peeps.
ive been dying over the last few days. I do currently have a dash, and my contract will be up in about 2 months. ive been going to a bunch of cellphone stores, to kinda research what i want next, and im pretty much thinking about waiting unit either the touch pro 2 comes out or the snap. the real reason im writing tho, is because i have recently fallen in love with the visuals from the newest blackberrys. however i personally thing the blackberry os is useless and not as smart as wimo. so dose anyone know of a skin/theme that can emulate something like the blackberry bold?
i have googled and came across this: http://blackberrysync.com/2009/02/blackberry-application-suite-for-windows-mobile-hands-on/
however not really not what i wanted.
any help. plz i love the look of the bold.... not enough to buy a blackberry tho.

Sorry but it looks like nobody else is interested on making their dash look like a BB.
This is the only thing that I would consider to use that's pretty sweet, if I wasn't addicted to the sliding panels. You might like it.

The bad thing is we're still waiting on the release.

2nd, the flow of the software and the usability of it seem great. Just too bad the whole thing looks looks like it was put together by a bunch of people who wouldn't know what design was if a design school fell down and hit them in the head.

cool and unique things you've done with dash

tell of a special thing/concept (i.e. not incredibly common, or done by 4yr olds) you've done or discovered with your dash. explain in brief but diplomatic terms (not like a 4yrold) I go first
I like wififofum as a network scanner (just introduced to it recently). you can analyze and even map with a triangulation the source of a wifi signal. how's that for useful. dash is a tiny unassuming ppc, but it rules
I put together a ROM from scratch for it... lol
I discovered that in vibrate mode that the dash feels kinda funny in my pocket when someone calls!
I use mine as a portable heater, OC it to 400Mhz and it keeps me warm on theses cold dayz.
Currently my dash does multiple things, its a game machine, a paperweight and a dial up machine all in one!!!
arggh? me feels primitive.

on a serious note, I must try your brew, chilled. So do you have a lite version yet? Im all for adding stuff maself, although kavana rom has been real good to me, I feel the wind of dashventure calling. oh yes
woa, got the buttons confused. I read on your rom a while ago, is there a lite version done?, because as you brought it up, I didn't make a rom for my phone (the whole arggh thing comes to mind -read comment). *ps. This is a sad exercise in correcting what should of been a reply post and it feels great. ahhh!
Buying it was an amazing move!!! then installing Kavana 080408

YESSS! such an oprah moment, I feel the same. Just jiving about the O, but this little work of micron love strums the strings in me. And btw, if any of you know how to use wififofum well (not like a 4yrold), help me. (here's the prize: go to lastfm and type in thiaz itch -I checked the spelling- and enjoy the free downloads. If and when you decide to like this, you're welcome)
I been using my dash for everything from gaming to doing excel spreadsheets etc... so in the long run it is the most useful thing I know... its like my second PC
I cant tell you what I use my Dash for.. its been compartmentalized and made above top secret

I use mine all the time when my G1 pisses me off to the point where I just need reliability.
I guess my answer would be "I use it as a phone" (which in today's society is actually rare )

You use the dash as a phone, whats wrong with you man? lol i have to admit when i pick up my dash i sigh a little bit. The best phone ive ever had including the g1. Gaming on dash is awesome, but its also a really reliable phone. Even if i had an iphone, g1 and diamond i wouldnt part with it!
cool
I'll tell you what I've done that's cool and unique, maybe even amazing, is I have turned my dash into my girlfriend (my wife's words)she says between modding and the forum, I spend as much time with the phone as I do with her. hehe

I would, but she want's a g1, I'm telling her to wait a little to see what tmobile picks up from the HTC 2009 lineup.

This or a G1 for a person like me?

well, i have a N73 right now, and i really want to get a more user-friendly phone. i like Windows mobile, and im a T-Mobile Customer. im thinking about getting the black dash, since im not really interested in the wi-fi part, but just an online browser out-side home. i have an itouch, and i just got it recently, so i dont want to throw it out or anything. im also into hacking/messing with my phones or electronics, so again, ive found some cool things on the dash that are cool. The g1 isnt appealing to me cause im not a fan of touchscreeens w/o stylus, or a slideout keyboard.
the only reason id want the g1's 3g would be to browse things like facebook, and it doesnt have a decent app for it, so im not really interested, much do i care about it.
what do u guys think? should i just go with a g1 rather than be stuck with a 3 year old phone for 2 more years? thanks!

Or just wait till March when the Dash 2 is set for release... opps did I just spoil the surprise
It all depends really, it seems like you dislike alot about the g1. The g1 is set for a big time update and in my opinion is better off without a stylus. 3g browsing is unreal, superfast!!! I have both and love both but g1 is my baby now. Plus the new update will come with onscreen keyboard, video recorder, and tons of new goodies. It is new however and will take time to catch up to wm so if you decide to get it you have to be patient. Flash for g1 is also being developed by adobe. My opinion is the g1, dont lynch me guys i do love my dash lol.
IF you want to use data away from wifi, you definitely want something with 3g. There's no comparison between 3g and edge service.
haha Dash 2?? where can i see its specs or w.e, or is that the cavelier hookin up with Tmobile? im also in the process of switchin over to At&T, but ill hold off if the g1 update/ dash 2 are really that great.

No, dash 2 is for real, last week htc new phones for this year were leaked and it was on the list which also included pics of all the new phones coming this year. I dont have link now, but search for htc 2009 lineup.

Dash or Behold

I have a chance to trade my Ooka 3vo 2.0 rom Dash for a mint Samsung Behold........should i?
i got til tonight to decide.
i wouldnt, my dad has a behold, its not that great of a phone, and you cant customize it very much.
What??
Are you talking of getting rid of Excalibur to get another brand?
The model looks good but remember: You won't have the great support of this site with any other than HTC devices
Good luck on your decision
thanks smjfosho.......i just finished looking at the behold forum.looks like you can customize alot.....but thanks for your reply

I think if you really want a behold, get one when you can afford to buy it, and keep the dash, you won't regret it. I got a htc Tilt now and wouldn't think of getting rid of my dash, ever since I bought it , it has had a case, screen protector, it's been over a year, never seen the floor, and it still looks brand new. I still think that the dash is a bada$$ phone.
Don't do it!
the reason I got a Dash as my replacement phone is because of the helpful people on this forum!

You are right.I do love my Dash.It`s badass looking thanks to Ooka and everyone here who helped me.I just thought a Behold would be an upgrade,a step up.......but, i`m keeping my Dash.
Thanks guys.....
Great decision!
As rolo said, when you got some extra $, buy another device and do the upgrade but keep your Excalibur!
the only downfall of the dash is the camera (wish you could upgrade it somehow LOL), but i know its an old phone.
i love the dash's simplicity yet being able to do everything.
Well i'm just hopeing that the time of the advertised swap is over and you didn't do it
Just gonna echo other users i use Tilt as main device yet sat next to me on the trusty computer table is teh Dash still looking the same as it did when turned up oh except the OS.
I'm looking into a Tornado but not gonna sell the Dash
Didn`t do it.....
I kept my Dash.You all are right......Save $ and get another phone,but keep the Dash...It`s like family here!......Since we all are family, who wants to borrow me some money?
Take care y`all.
lol I know you've already made a decision to keep your HTC phone...
a smart one too
but anyway, if you EVER buy a samsung, don't get it used =P
most Samsung phones are made cheap

I just "upgraded" from the regular dash to the "Black" dash (I really just purchased a black dash from ebay and swapped the case with my dash so I wouldn't have to reinstall and setup everything all over again).
I have to say, the "black" dash just looks so much more hi-tech then my original "steel" faceplate one

that is so FAIL... the chrome faceplate is 100x better. and really... i think it'd be easier to reflash and install than swap cases. I'm guessing you don't save everything on a sim card and backup your registry. you should try it... really...

Moto Cliq

Multi-touch is enabled by the OS, not the hardware. The new version of Android that will be on the Cliq will also be available for the G1 and MyTouch. Word is that multi-touch is already built into Cupcake it is just turned off by default.
multi touch.
Not true, some screens support it better than others.
The g1 has an older screen that althought it does work, it doesnt work say as good as the my touch.
But the mytouch doesnt have a keybaord.

Multi touch works just as good on my g1 as it does mytouch. the cliq is going to be running donut most likely instead of cupcake but cyanogen's mod has close to a third of the donut's tree already working and it won't be long till we see a prerelease of donut on the g1 and mytouch like we've seen 6.5 here on the excalibur forum. And the mytouch is fail from a lack of keyboard. The only decent way to type is to turn if sideways and the keyboard still doesn't stand up the samsungs memoir and beholds. I swear if those phones had android id call the g1 a fluke in a heartbeat
i finally got a mytouch 3g, i love it
