Well I'm sure the next line of phones will have a 1GHz, for thats what is required for WM7 and I think capacitive touch screen also.Originally Posted by s0leFUNK
I keep seeing an argument for a rumored HD2 Pro but it doesn't make sense.Originally Posted by Mastamind89

Knowing HTC, their release trend.
The HD2 will be a exclusive on T-Mobile and drop the same time as when the G1 dropped.
If the HD2 pro is going to replace the TP2 ,it's going to drop whenever the other companies dropped their TP2.
But if it's not then I'm not really sure.
We had the Touch Diamond, Touch Pro, Touch HD.
Now: Touch Diamond2, Touch Pro2, ...HD2
However, a thing to note is HD2 has dropped the "Touch." (Ironically at that seeing as it is the most touch-friendly of all). So that could indicate a new line focusing on the HD name..maybe..
Will there be device from HTC with a physical keyboard, large (capacitive) touch screen, and Snapdragon processor? 99.99999% yes. How/when it will be marketed is a whole different issue though.
I'm torn because I use the TP2 on screen keyboard maybe 70% of the time. Give me a bigger screen and I'm sure I'd have even less problems with it. Maybe the HD2 doesnt need a keyboard counterpart?Though I would enjoy just having the option
But I really have no clue what they are going to do, we'll just have to wait and see.

The good: 3.6-inch WVGA display; great speakerphone with multi-party calling; excellent video call quality; good keyboard; many usefulTouchFlo 3D features.
The bad: Very bulky and heavy; no dedicated 3.5mm audio connector; slow camera autofocus and no LED; expensive.
The bottom line: This smartphone is ideal for business professionals, thanks to the great conference call feature and good keyboard fortyping. Unfortunately, there's the bulky form factor to put up with.

Cons
- it's huge, but only because its thickness. It's actually more narrow than an iPhone. Still, that makes it less "pocketable" if that'show you like to carry your phone.
- it's slow (processor wise) compared to some of the other devices currently hitting or soon to hit the market
- on a related note, it won't feel as cutting edge unless you use a lot of third party software
- as expensive as it is ($200-350 through the carriers), the camera isn't up to par. It isn't bad, but it isn't great either
Pros
IMO, it's the best combination of screen, ability (multitasking + the amount of things it can do), and physical keyboard on the market.
The reason I may not keep mine even though I was able to get it for $200+tax through Sprint is that it might look two years old when new phones come out earlynext year.

I'm not sure where the Dragon will go or when its coming out in the US.
[h2]Windows Mobile 7 Exclusive Screenshots and Analysis![/h2]
Posted by Chuong Nguyen
October 20th, 2009 at 04:35 PM
We've seen the 6.5.1 leaks from WMExperts today that combined TouchFLO 3D and 6.5.1 together into a tidy package along with the leaks of the Windows Mobile 7 mockups earlier. Now, our very own tipster has delivered some exciting additional screenshots to pocketnow.com, giving us a peak of the Call screen, Calendar, Contact, Email, Text Messaging, and Settings!
Before we jump into each individual screenshot, here's what we do know:
1. These pictures were supposed to have been for Windows Mobile 6.5.1; we're guessing it will get absorbed and rolled into Windows Mobile 7 as the 6.5.1 leaks aren't anywhere near as nice as what we're seeing.
2. The top picture shows vanilla Windows Mobile 6.5; the bottom screenshot are the re-designed Windows Mobile user interface--call it 6.5.1 or 7 or whatever you will.
3. Most importantly, what Microsoft is doing looks hot!
4. The soft keys are back in full force, and not like some of the later leaked 6.5 builds. We're talking traditional soft keys with maybe soft menus.
5. And here's the OMG moment. Dude, where's my Start Button?? With Windows Mobile 6.5 getting marketing push to be called a Windows phone complete with the Windows flag logo and all, it looks like Microsoft has removed the Start menu, or at least the Windows flag logo for it!
Hit the break for the glorious screenshots.
Re-designed Calendar application
Sleek new call screen
Revamped Contacts application
Updated mail application
New UI for Text and SMS messages
Finger-friendly radio buttons and sliders for Settings rather than small checkboxes of the old

For a few weeks now, we've known that HTC is working on a new Android phone called the HTC Dragon. We've seen screen shots from a ROM dump, but now we're getting our first look at leaked images and preliminary handset specification. The leaked images show off the from and back of the handset. Just like the GSM HTC Hero, the HTC Dragon features four buttons (Home, Menu, Back, and Search) right under the screen with a large white trackball right below them. The call and end/power buttons are nowhere to be found on the front of the handset.
According to AndroidGuys.com, the HTC Dragon will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 (1GHz) processor, Android 2.0, 512MB ROM, 256MB RAM, GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900, UMTS 900, 1900, 2100, FM Radio, Bluetooth, 5MP camera, 3.5mm headphone jack, and a 480 x 800 resolution touch screen w/ multi-touch.
It's nice to see HTC pumping out another Android phone, but where's the distinctive chin that HTC promised on all their high-end Android powered devices? Would you rather have a phone with a chin that looks a bit odd or something that looks so bland that no one will take a second look at it?

Just wondering this phone is like the hero 2 then, right..?
Just wondering if some of my fellow htc fans can help me in choosing which phone would i would be better off I am a Sprint customer and I am stuck on eitherthe TP2 or Sprint Hero?
I was obsessed over the touch pro 2 since it got a nicer keyboard and miner UI tweaks, but then discourage after learning its internals is pretty much the sameas the TP1 and then came along this hero ...? Any help would be appreciated guys.

[h2]Get a AT&T HTC Tilt2 for only $100![/h2]
October 21st, 2009 | Author: admin
LetsTalk.com is now offering the AT&T HTC Tilt 2 at a mere $99.99, down from a hefty $300 directly from AT&T.
The offer is of course only available on a new 2 year contract, but if you are getting one in any case you might as well save $200 along the way.

There is nothing that indicates it to being the Hero 2, it's just another android phone.
The TP2 has the same specs but the internals are set up differently.
Which OS would you prefer and can you deal with out a physical keyboard?

Verizon HTC Desire spotted again [table][tr][td]Written by Nick Gray [/td] [/tr][tr][td]Thursday, 22 October 2009[/td] [/tr][tr][td]
This isn't the first time we've laid our eyes on the all new Verizon HTC Desire. The first time we spotted the handset was on October 6th at Verizon and Google's join media announcement about their Android plans. Supposedly, the Verizon branded HTC Desire is simply a redesigned HTC Hero, but reports from BoyGenius indicate that the Desire is extremely fast which seem to contradict the general consensus that the HTC Hero is somewhat sluggish. Let's hope that HTC and Verizon release some more information about the HTC Desire soon. We know that Verizon is focusing most of their Android efforts on the Motorola Droid, but if wouldn't kill them to admit that they are working on releasing their own version of the most popular and acclaimed Android phone to date.
