I went on HTC's website and the dimensions changed, now it says its 16.65 mm thick, before it said it was like 17.1 mm thick, does this mean that other spec changes could happen too? (Well actually they probably could but I doubt they will) But its still great that its a little thinner now, now its thinner than a G1 or Xperia X1
Clove's description says it has FM tuner, I hope this is correct.
Well at least it's something positive
HTC's website says its only 16.65 mm thick, but where they are selling it on Clove, it says 17.25 mm thick. Which one to believe....
16.65, 17.25mm. Does 0.6mm really matter?
True enough HTC has changed it's specs. Thinner is better of course. That is 0.6mm thinner. Will that be because they took the Radio Chip out? That is a bad trade off if it is. 0.6mm is not really noticeable.

LOL now that you mention it, that is probably why its thinner
I would much rather have it be the same thinness as before and have a radio than to make it a little thinner and to lose such a nice feature, maybe other than the fact that it saves them money they did it to even out the diamond 2 and it a little.

I saw that photo before and it was posted after our discovery about the change of sepcs on HTC's website. The photo was a relief but no one else have proven the radio afterward. But I hope that photo was correct by any means.
should be receiving mine tomorrow with luck, just received shipping notification, and as i'm so excited i probably won't sleep i'll do tomorrows work tonight and then get to play all day i'll let you know what i can find on it.
Well no radio so far found, the stylus has a distinct metal feel to it and the device does turn on when you take it out.
So far i am very impressed the grill onthe back i guess is for battery cooling as the speakers are only at the top , g-sensor all works fine and stuff unfortuntly am connecting to internet via work currently so can't post pictures or anything but if anyone has any requests for info i will check as often as i can.

It is smaller and a little more refined than the TyTN's and does an excellent job at navigating.
Check it out..........
besides being smaller, it's more "rounded" in comparison to the tytn, so it feels much smaller in the hand/pocket.
i think the coolest thing in the open/close system, that has changed and is not the same comparing to the tytn/wizard. it feels rock solid.

i only played with it for a few minutes. i think i "bend" thingie is more solid than i thought it would be. besides that, i liked the positioning of the sim card slot. easier to access than the tytn. no need to get the battery out.

Where is the sim slot located then; like the microSD slot on the Hermes?
I will most definately go for this when it is available. The memory and the internal GPS antenna is the key for me.

One of the rags indicate it will be released in August of 07. I have not seen an official announcement though.
There was a guy selling one not too far from me. I could have bought it but declined as I the only really desire pushing me was the one to have something as soon as it's out, (which isn't always the best ). He sold it Ebay for £390 which isn't too bad considering it's not out yet. I think the August date should be fairly accurate.

the sim is located on the sliding part. when you slide out to reveal the keyboard, it's behind the screen
the card slot is located on the sliding part as well, at the bottom of the device.

I saw one that said August. Frankly, I never believe any of them. When it comes, I will buy it (unless we start hearing some nighmare stories about it).
Anyone has any idea if T-Mobile is going to release it own branded HTC Kaiser (as MDA Vario III - for example)? My contract is going to finish around December/January, so I'd be happy to get an upgrade as xmas/new year gift.

If only the screen was 640X480. I saw the Toshiba G900 at MEDC and couldn't believe it.
now that they are in stock it should be with some of you by now
1- what are your first impressions of the device.
2- how solid does the build quality seem? is it too plasticy? how solid is the sliding and tilting mechanism ?
3- how good (stablility, speed, software) of the stock rom. seems HTC has started putting some really nice ROM since they released the HD.
4- whos gonna be cooking for this phone. any famous chefs
5- is the speaker phone really a lot better than other phones?
6- any disappointing things about it?
7- can we safely say that there is no GPS lag issues like the ones found in other QC-based phones
8- where did you get the phone and how much did you pay for it

I'm really excited about the Touch Pro2 coming to the US sooner than expected. I've had a Touch pro and Touch HD running at edge speeds for a while now. Finally I can get basically a Touch HD with full Qwerty board and 3G AT&T speed.
The Tg01 is exciting with a 1Ghz processor and 4.2" screen, but I've been missing out on 3G speed and a full qwerty for too long now.
^ agree bro, the TP2 is state of the art with 3G for us in the usa right NOW!
we can check out the TG01, Star, etc. when they come to us later...

pretty sure that .3mm measurement difference is just an error. there is zero reason why samsung would make one phone wider or slimmer... the vibrant even shares the chassis with the i9000... the forward facing camera hole is even present.

Duno but Captive cases wont work so just figured that was the same with the i9000, would be better for us if it were this way when the white cases come out.

The captivate is the most unique Galaxy S phone in terms of appearances, the Vibrant is one of the phones that is pretty much alike to the I9000 aside from the 4 keys and a front camera.
The captivate's method of taking it off is different as well.

says its not compatible with vibrant, i would assume if i9000 and vibrant shared exact same battery cover, then this would fit, meaning the one you purchased would fit too. since this doesn't, maybe the listing you showed won't either?
ps... why does it say unlocked i9000 only, what does being locked or unlocked have anything to do with a physical battery cover?

It still hasn't arrived... Starting an eBay case if it doesn't come by Wednesday ;/
I sold my htc amaze a few months ago to buy the n9 and im getting tired of not having any app selections (it was cool at first), and the one x looks pretty sick. found someone on craigslist that is willing to trade but he dropped the phone and the screen doesn't turn on. he has a new digitizer for it but not an LCD. They aren't too expensive on ebay (found one for like $40). he said the phone turns on and everything works (capacitive buttons, sound, etc). The thing im worried about is if it has water damage, is there any way to find out? and if not do you guys think its worth it?
thanks
edit: nevermind did more searching on the water damage indicator and found it. still would like to know your opinions/advice though

Official ones come as one unit and cost more. It'll cost about 150 UK pounds for official repair. Factor that into your cost, and the fact that it's second hand, and the fact you can't test it properly... Is it worth it? I doubt it, but a working One X is an incredible device.

thank you, ill take your advice. it seems not many people are interested in the n9 as much as I thought they would.
It always feels good to have a new device which is fresh and you are much sure that it doesn't have a defect or something, if you're are looking for some advice, well for me, i will personally tell you that go and just buy a new one ( Fresh like Dougie )

Most of those cases are have got fit and function. Others are poorly fitting garbage. Unfortunately, I didn't try this style on my phone while I was there.
Given that the seller as a 14-day return policy and 99.3% feedback, this looks worth a purchase.
