First, the phone looks like crap, second why would you want Sense there gumming up the OS? Get an android phone or a no-longer updated WM 6.5 phone if you want Sense.

Was this thread really necessary?

yeah. kinda... it's not just about htc schubert.
it's about htc's next gen hardware design compared to current devices like the hd2.
i like the front-look of "schubert" but i will miss the nice carved speaker of the hd2.
the backside of the htc desire hd looks way more appealing than schubert and any other device by htc...
the hardware buttons of the hd2 are to hard to press for everyday use like on the hdmini (capacitive buttons).
i think that might be the reason for no 6.5.X on the hd2 (they should simply enable the start and done softkeys).
my opinion about htc's wp7 designs:
the best symbiosis would be the front of the hd2 (alu-top like hdmini); capacitive buttons like schubert but no circle around the start-button (hate the apple-look); backside like desire hd.
or short:
it should look like the desire hd with the front top like the hdmini.
that would look really badass... this should be the HD3.
oh... and i nearly forgot to mention:
the screws on the backside of the hdmini look really badass!!!! i want them on the hd3!!!!

I hate the Lg chocolate backcover. yikes

TP2 keyboard vs TP1 Keyboard

After having a brief trial with the TP2 at voda yesterday, I actually found the keyboard less efficient for me, as with moderate speed my fingers would ocassionally press down multiple keys at once. I think the letterbox design of the original prevented this, as begin typing almost flawlessly with first use.
So previous Touch pro/Fuze owners whove switched:
1. Whats been your experience with Speed/accuracy typing. Better/Same/Worse?
2. Do you miss any of the removed keys in day to day use?
Ill have have another go today to see if it was just my muscle memory messing things up. However if the keyboard is a slight step down, Ill be reluctant to bare the cost of the upgrade just for the larger tilting screen (which I really liked).
For me it´s more comfortable than the one on old TP
But even much better is this one:

Universal keyboard!
Not any keyboard of actual devices on the market can beat this one
Agreed. The TP2 keyboard is easily the best keyboard since the Universal, but it doesn't beat it.
To be honest, if they put the screen and other hardware from the TP2 into a Universal chassis with that keyboard, they'd have an utterly awesome device. (3.5mm audio FTW!).

Lego XPERIA Cuddle (not Craddle, just a Craddle WannaBe)

What I found
Lego X1 Craddles WannaBe
n.b: (before read) If it seems useless, kiddo, trash and so on, yeap, just leave it… ;-)
Months ago, I read a thread in XperiaX1.net talking about unavailable orginal Xperia series’ craddle (probably happens in X1 only) but there is a model sold in eBay but it looks so ugly in potrait (Maybe it’s just my opinion) and because I loved playing lego and skilled when I was in primary (fortunately, I still save the Lego till I’m in college now), I’m planning to recycle some of lego model that I’ve made in primary to make a craddle for my X1, maybe I named it as X1 cuddle

ps: I wish it's legal to crop the 'Lego' logo and
This is the most simplest cuddle which is inspired by my Satio’s Video Stand.
Actually, I have calculated and experiment a little for this lego’s angel wether it’s strong enough to hold my X1. It works and I can browse comfortably and even watch a Movie better.
I also make the lego constructed reversely and sticked some silicon glue in each corner of this cudle to prevent (or at least minimize) my X1 from scartch.
For charging, it works better after I replace the ‘clumsy’ orginal X1 USB cable, or reposition the X1 to 90° (not 270°).
But since I’m a med-student not an engineering, maybe the construction is far from perfect. Hmmm, maybe next time when I get holiday, I will make the cuddle from other materials that are more easy –formed, like fibreglass.
Thank you for reading.

New Samsung device spotted. Looks quite clean. Nice!
Another pic @ twitter: http://twitpic.com/2dfnig
And another one:
Why do the people who leak images all have such crappy cameras?
Refresh, new pic posted.
One thing that disturbs me in the recently posted HTC device and this one:
Why, oh why do they make the Windows button round? Everyone will be reminded of the iPhone. I think they shouldn't do it...
With the latest HTC leak being rather disappointing, this looks really interesting.
But I agree that the Windows button shouldn't be round, a square would be much more appropriate for the WP7 design.
There is a Samsung device with WP7 out there called Taylor, but it is only a dev phone... This one look quite different though.
Maybe because their logo is round? Just a thought.

Want!
Well, if the back's not messed with, but a simple back surface.
Looks kinda like a large Zune HD....which I'm all for BTW.

I think it's because some of these leaks are at the actual places in which they work which most likely prohibits cameras. They probably sneak in some small cheap camera so they can take quick pics and leak to the net. When the pics are outside they're usually of higher quality.

Nice! Looks like the Focus S is my next WP7 device. 4.3" of sweet SAMOLED+ love.
I am HTC Fan, but i would say Samsung Focus S is the hot-dog in the eyes of the dog.
Sexy Design, saw this article like 30 mins ago.
I really like how the Focus S looks but I hate the back of the device, the plasticky feel and the samsung logo should be next to the at&t on top not above the windows keys. But thats me nipticking
I'm getting the Titan I think...unless Nokia wows us next week
I am not keen on the Sammy phones, I really like the industrial design of the Nokia 800 from what I have seen, but the screen is too small for me

Focus Flash (US) - Omnia W (EU)
Focus S (US) - ??
I hope Samsung will realeas a EU version of the Focus S

The Samsung logo doesn't fit well where they have placed it. Shame that the networks have to brand the phone, just isn't a good look.
Lucky that the networks tend not to do it here.

is out yet on xap
Nice,
when it's ready ?
Did anybody care to read the article or is at least capable of understanding the meaning of "concept"? These are just pictures. The designer is currently looking for developers for this concept.
I don't like it - I think it doesn't fit into WP7.
I was at a conference at Microsoft's HQ where they talked about Windows 8 and Metro.
They took an old fashioned RSS reader and slowly 'converted' it to Metro, as they explain every step. From what I understand, In WP7:
You display on the main area only whats needed - otherwise there's the [...] area for settings and configurations (called the App Bar).
Element design is kept to a minimum - jagged edges are too much, also, the borders around the icons are too much.
The circular elements don't fit well into a squared environment.
It's really nice designed. Shame I can't help, need to learn new technologies I am at .net aspx jquery ajax
This will depend on the OEM pretty much and what the Radio version / Firmware allow the camera to do.
for me its to much on the screen, if the first picture should represent it in use??? the screws are to much and to big. i know it should be like on an DSLR but its to much, it has nothing with metro to do.
I see RETRO here
BTW I could buy as appears in the Market
