The Display is nice, but the phone is too big.

All the new phones are "too big" :S.. I'm hoping for a Win Phone 7 with the same size as the HTC Diamond 2... I hate huge phones like the nexus, hd2 and iphone :S

I will buy the htc Mozart. This One is little. It smaller. Like the desire.

Nice cell phone ! I will buy one.

My goodness that looks like a nice phone!!!

Is it a Samsung Captivate with a new OS?

Hope so, because that'd mean there's a humminbird/SGX540 in it with a 4in Super Amoled screen, but the person who leaked the vid says it's a 3.7in screen. And like most people are saying here, it will most likely have the Snapdragon processor.

Hmmm...the US (att) Samsung Captivate has some pretty troubling issues on the reliability front. Granted it has a WM OS, however, most of the issues seem to be hardware related.
I am pretty underwhelmed by the three rumored handsets set to be announced in a few days. I'll end up purchasing one of them, simply to support the OS, but all of them look pretty ho hum. I really though that Microsoft was going to come out swinging this time around. Apparently not. The OS looks slick, though incomplete, and the hardware looks minimal instead of trend setting. Bottom line is that an WP7 handset announced next week will be eclipsed in technology by holiday sales period. That is pretty sad.

HTC Schubert Windows Phone 7 device video.

looks good.
Yeah, it looks better on the video than it did on the pictures, but it's such an iPhone knock-off.
And here is the Desire HD...
Im not liking these designs at all.
Actually looks like TPro a bit.
I was expecting more from HTC. Hopefully this isn't they're flagship WP7 device

Exactly.
From the awesome sleek design of Legend to this?!
Its like going a year BACK in time.
What happened to the elegance?
If their flagships will look like these chubby plastic iphone wannabe toys then im moving to ASUS, looks like they are on top of things designwise.
Legend was ugly IMO, i think this device looks really good love metal piece of it. Could it be better yes but i still like the desgin, but i do believe its an early build.
I generally don't like HTC design.
No class.....
TPro 2 was the best IMO.
Well then you must ike the Schubert because it looks just like the TP2 on the front.

Oh right, forgot about that ****.
honestly i think i think looks really slick and nice. the back design is different but i like the use of different materials on it. the front resemboles the touch pro 2...which is my favorite htc phone so I'm happy with that. The screen looks small (3.7") but I thought WP7 has a minimum requirement of 4".
I wish it had a physical keyboard tho

Nope. Not sure what the minimum is but probably 3" or so.
Fugly!!!
I think the thing looks ugly and I for one will be waiting to see what Samsung has to offer, hopefully with a super amoled screen. I also like the look of the Dell Lightning.
I for one wont be buying this device if its the best HTC has to offer. I want something with a bigger display. More like an evo screen or what they showed on the Desire HD but this is just my Tilt 2 with WP7 buttons and no keyboard. Boring
I don't like how the Dell Lightning has its keyboard on the short side with NO TILT, I can't wait for the HTC Touch Pro 3 with WP7 (and a dual-core 1.5GHZ processor yeah right)
Looks like the lovechild of the TP2 and the Tilt2
More like an inbred bastard son.

Which is gonna be best to get?

hi with all the leaks of the new mobiles that are to be released which one is going to be the best 1 to get thats gonna keeps me going for at least 2 years.
With WP7, the specs are all standardized. The options are pretty much personal decisions..
How much storage do you want?
Do you value a physical keyboard?
Which do you think looks the best?
How big of a screen do you want?
What models will work on your carrier (this will probably limit you the most)?
Noone can answer those questions for you. The things that would affect longevity (CPU, RAM) are all standard on WP7 so really won't differ much if at all.

go with hTC Hd3~ haha
question is when is the hd3 gonna be released? One things for sure i dont want a small screen nothing less than 3.8 but would prefer 4 and above
I looking for more of a Touch Pro3 type device. Although I would love to see a 4"+ screen with a slide out keyboard.
I'll probably end up with a Samsung whenever I decide to switch. I don't know what it is, but I always ended up with a Samsung in my pocket for the last 4-5 years now.
I went from the Samsung i630 -> i760 -> Omnia II (i920)
Probably has to do more with Verizon being my provider than any affinity I have for Samsung.
what I'm wondering, .I'm from the netherlands, and also wantto buy it in october, but the dutch version won't be there then yet. So, can I also buy the english version here, or do I need to export it?
cheers

According to pdadb.net the HTC Mondrian/Schubert /Mozart's predecessor model is the HD2, so basically, this will be the HD3.
pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2388&c=htc_mondrian__schubert__mozart
But to answer your question, RustyGrom couldn't have said it any better, but the best thing to do right now is not to get into any contracts until at least November, I just canceled Sprint and now have and HD2 with T-Mob, contract less...
I must say all those leaked devices recently look very bad.
Besides Dell Lightning.

I liked the square Asus was it...there was something else square that looked nice...was it another Samsung maybe? But it's weird...that samsung taylor prototype look has grown on me, lol. But I can't wait to see reviews instead of leaks.
PDADB?
Is there another site that organizes the upcoming models better?
Well, as always Sprint is last to get a phone. The only positive is lately Sprint has the best looking and performing phones out (Evo and Epic). I hope this trend continues and Sprint drops a real monster this winter.
There is a decent round up here...
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/35093/windows-phone-7-launch-phones
now we know the models that are being released which is gonna be best, now im more prone to the hd7 or the omnia 7 manly being screen size not sure which yet. So which would you pick and why?
I'm partial to the Samsungs with the S-AMOLED screens. WP7, even more than other OSes, looks great on a AMOLED screen.

ditto - plus SD card support as well if that pans out.
From people who have had hands-on sessions and the lucky few who have received their review units already, I've been hearing Mozart and Omnia are the nicest. The general consensus seems to be that the HD7 doesn't feel quite right, too big, too shiny and WP7 somehow feels better on the smaller screens.
The Trophy seems to be winning a lot of praise too, though I think that's on the presumption that it will be quite a bit cheaper than the Mozart.
Yeah the Mozart is a very nice looking device. My only concern is no SAMOLED. I agree with the above post about WP7 looking best with an AMOLED screen. However, I'm not too sure I want a phone with Samsung's build quality. Decisions.. decisions..
The LG phones actually look good in the reviews Ive seen which is a bit of a shocker as Ive never like LG for phones that much in the past...
Well... I prefer the HD7... it just looks like THE WP7 device... it just stands out, that gorgeous 4.3 inch screen? that beautiful camera(2 LED!), the stand! the other devices are small and weak... the Dell one just looks ugly(I thought it looked like the BlackBerry Style)
Still, speed is no issue with any of them...

HTC HD7 Engadget Review

In my opinion I believe Windows 7 mobile is beautiful and well made. I think this a winning mobile OS for MIcrosoft.
Yeah it does seem to be a vast improvement over Windows 6.5.
Are you getting paid each time we click your links??? I mean seriously ? WTF is up with that.
complete "meh"...
It should be called the "hTc HD2 II iLeo".
lol.
just sayin'.
That review was really unfair... that device is the best on the market, the only way you can tell if that screen is weird or not is if you compare it, alone it looks beautiful. the surround's speakers blow and it is so thick!
The display is objectively terrible. HTC has an unhealthy addiction with reusing old stock/designs on new devices, which is probably what made it use a vanilla TFT-LCD panel on a device that is all about the display.
Omnia is the best WP7 launch device, unless some showstopping hardware defect is found.

Objectively terrible....Hmm have you actually seen a HD7 in the flesh or are you taking it from a poorly crafted review? The display is actually far better than the HD2 with richer colours, better back lighting (more even) and it's nice and bright. The design is also subtly different, far better camera, sound quality is excellent. Maybe try one for yourself before criticising, personally I only like to comment on items when I have something informed to say!

You can see the display by lookimg at an Evo. Fon't embarass yourself. The quality is terrible, ESPECIALLY compared to a Super AMOLED display. Evo looks washed out compared to Galaxy S. The same will be true for HD7 vs Omnia 7.
However, I would suicide before buying another Samsung phone.

Really, so I have the device in my hands as well as a Galaxy S and you are looking at an Evo, and I shouldn't embarrass myself Hmm! Most people who have the HD7 are more than happy with both the build quality and the screen. As I stated the display is better than the HD2 (Evo) so you are incorrect! and yes I have actually had a HD2 as well! The HD7 is using a newer screen.
Since I have upgraded my Galaxy S to Froyo it seems to be running far better. Using the HD7 now though as my main phone.

[Q] any rumored windows phones, especially CES 2011

any rumored for tmobile?
I hear they may mention a tablet, or loosen up on their restrictions.
yeah, theres no middle tier phones right now.
i'd jump in a heartbeat if it had 16GB, multitasking, more apps, super AMOLED, 4.3 inch, kinda like an HD7 with super amoled and the obvious ones.
Oh yeah, and a Hummingbird or 2ndGen Snap!
There's a rumor that T-Mobile is gonna get a 4.1" amoled device with, of all things, some kind of oddball *portrait* slider keyboard, with options for 8 or 16 gigs of storage, sometime in Q1 2011.
T-Mobile is doubtful to get more WP7 devices, no rumours have surfaced so far and they seem firmly entrenched in the android camp.
@FL5. Woah, what is that?!

Nah, that's what post 4 was poking fun at. Since the argument got opened up to hardware manufacturers in general, though, figured I'd have some fun. Fact is that hardware failure happens to everybody. Yeah, it's pretty bad PR for Dell to have to admit that their product got gunked so bad as to push it into next year, but I've got a 6-year-old Dell laptop that's still chugging along, so it's gonna be hard to convince me that they're the worst out there. Honestly, if I was a T-mo customer, I'd be eagerly and rabidly waiting on the VP. That's me, though.

you must be one of the lucky ones.
my xps m12 has had about everything fail on it multiple time. I've needed new mother boards, sound cards, batteries, and ram. now the thing gets so hot i can't stand to have to on my lap. I eventually gave up on it and saw a netbook out preform a 1.5 year old $2200 laptop.
My brother laptop is pretty much the same and the desktop i bought before the laptop was also a really bad investment.
Back to topic though, I wouldnt expect to see new WP7 devices (other than the HTC Pro 7 and VP) until the summer at least
Rumor has it in august/september mango update for wp7 is going to make it to the platform, you might see new devices by then

i own a trophy, and to get honest, even though there is no stand out feature, i prefer it's look and feel over my sister's mozart. it just feels a lot nicer to hold, and looks better in the hand. though some like the unibody form.
sure, i wish i had a more stand out device like the omnia 7 or focus (if we could get it in australia), but i'm happy enough with my trophy and it will last me 2 years till windows phone 8.

I think this might not be fully correct.
As far as I know Omnia W and Samsung Focus S are going to be 2 completely different devices.
The main differences are said to be:
Omnia W being 3mm THICKER than Focus S
Focus S should have 4.3 " SAMOLED PLUS screen compared to Omnia's 3.7 " SAMOLED
That differences also put them in different price segments of the market which could be easily checked if you compare just revealed prices - If they are not fakes - there is 20% gap between those two.
I keep using my Omnia 7 with broken screen for more than 2 months now waiting for the Focus S - in my opinion competition is miles away (SCREEN!) and has nothing comparable to offer... ;-)
I think the Omnia W is the Focus Flash, not the Focus S
Sorry, I mistypped, I ment to say far from Samsung Focus S, lol
I don't expect to hear much about new phones until Nokia World. Once Nokia has made some announcements I will start to expect more from other OEM's over the month of November leading into the holiday season.
Last year Windows phones launched on Novemeber 8th in the US. I expect thats when these phones will hit retail/carrrier channels.
I can't wait for the Focus S also. I believe it will be the preeminent WP7 phone. It will be WP7's SGS2. I love my current Focus because of the SAMOLED display and owned an Infuse for a little, which I traded for an LE GoW3 XBOX package, and the SAMOLED+ was so impressive. The Focus S will have that same display and the same style as the SGS2/Infuse combined.

Pricing and availabilty, unfortunately, have not yet been announced.
Once again, FAIL. Say what you want about Apple, they announce then release. Done. Once again? When? How much? This is a sad tired song that's killing my love of this platform.
Stop with the amateur crap. Reveal the phones. Demo the phones. Reveal, when, where and how much. Get the phones out to early reviewers. Release the phones, on time. Sit back and watch word of mouth and your platform grow.
It really is that simple.
Any news about this phone? It is going to be, probably, the best WP7 phone in the near future, because of the screen...

I love android but Samsung Galaxy Nexus quite disappointed me, so there is a chance to try a WP7 device with this Focus S... and BTW there is a camera button, omg
Two days ago I was told by an ATT employee it should be out in the next 3-4 weeks. It should be out around the same time the focus was last year.
Calm down everyone.
Im thinking around Nov. 7 seeing that Tango will release their app that day for video calling
Wooo-hooo! The Focus S may be coming November 9.
