To all you guys on AT&T, just letting you know there is an HTC Android phone available that is nearly identical to the Tilt 2. It is called the HTC Desire Z. It has pretty much the same keyboard as the Tilt 2. The processor is much better too at 800 MHz. Now I know what you're thinking, "Oh but it isn't even a 1GHz processor?" Well, the thing is, this processor is actually underclocked, and runs flawlessly at 1.2 GHz and beyond. The reason for that is because it is a newer type of Snapdragon and is faster than other 1 GHz Snapdragons (like the HD2 for example) running at only 800 MHz. Check this phone out, it's worth it if you want Android native and that HTC keyboard.
Just a quick note, there are a few different versions of the phone, but you need one specific version to work on AT&T 3G. It must be the A7275 version. In other words, it must be from Bell Canada and unlocked. It can be found on ebay as low as $450 without contract. It's been out for a few months, but now down to a fairly reasonable price. Not trying to move you who love your Tilt2 away from it, just some info in case you want a similar device with native Android. Quick shoutout to the XDAndroid developers though, I've used it a lot on my Tilt 2 and it has come so far in these past few months. Great job by all of them.

Haha I know it, but I know a few AT&T users with the phone that love it, most of which came from the Tilt2.

Does it tilt?

Nope, but it does have a quirky little mechanism that makes the keyboard come out in a very cool way. It's called the Z-hinge, look it up on youtube, very interesting how the keyboard 'slides' out (although it doesn't really slide).
It has pretty much the same keyboard as the Tilt2 and a teeny bit bigger screen, but much less thickness. The processor is better and is actually underclocked. It runs perfectly at stock speed but is crazy fast when overclocked (overclocking is very stable on this phone). All games work perfectly on it without a hitch graphically. If you liked the possibilites of winmo, you will love the abilities to customize on native android with all the custom ROMs and such.

i remember when looking for a new phone that around jan this year the first details of the tp2 came out and from then on we got to see more videos etc of it from phone shows
can we expect the same in jan2010 for the TP3
for me if they make it slightly slimmer with the spec of HD2 then i think it would be perfect
no way should they tamper with the keyboard
heres hopeing jan 2010 brings us our first look at the tp3
how about touch pro 3 with a capacitive touchscreen that supports multi-touch?

I kind of doubt it. They still have a lot of money to make on the TP2. I guess the timing wouldn't be that different compared to where the TP1 was in its lifecycle, but that device seemed spent much sooner to me--it also sticks out a little in the product line as the TP2 probably is more of a tytn III than a TP2. I think we'll see the first leaks on a TP2 + snapdragon in late spring or summer. There might even be an inclination to delay it for a rollout with winmo7.
On the other hand, an HD2 Pro could be justifiable before then. I suspect the distinction doesn't make a difference to you, but a device with a 3.6" screen really is in a different category than a device with 4.3" screen. I'm not totally sure what that category would be exactly. Business for people looking for an OQO replacement? Multimedia for people looking for a better video player/gaming experience? Big-handed people?
HERE at the bottom of the page. But a keyboard and a tilt mech on the HD2 and I am in. Dont get to excited though when you look at the specks you'll know why
I can´t see this as an upgrade for our TP2
Ok, yes it has a slightly faster processor but with smaller screen! WQVGA...no way!
I don´t think we will see a real upgrade for Rhodium till 2011
So let´s enjoy Rhodium!!!

I think HTC was targeting the n97 mini with this one. Although I think the n97 mini has the same resolution as the n97.
Does anyone know if this is supported (old style 'real keys' texting)?
Like the image in this site (5th one down).

I've never had an Android phone before so I don't know if it's QWERTY only, many thanks for the help!
I have done a search but can't find anything, plus for some reason the XDA side goes a bit 'wonky' on my work computer (links/image/searches` not showing).
You get 3 Options (much like on windows mobile) :
1) Full QWERTY (which works absolutely great btw)
2) Mini QWERTY (like on the blackberrys)
3) Keypad/T9
I would highly recommend the swype keyboard.
As a G1 owner I was convinced I wasn't going to get a phone without a real keyboard untill I used it - and it's only because I find it so easy to use, and fast, that I am now going to upgrade to the Desire.
See I went from a 'normal' phone to the X1 so I'm used to a 'really' keyboard or T9 multi tap and was worried about not being able to text correctly!
The other question I have (not really related to the keyboard) is about the resolution difference between the Desire and the Legend.
I prefer the look of the Legend and it's size however after having an x1 with it's high resolution (though tiny 3" screen) I'm worried that I would find the Legends lower resolution inferior to the x1, which had naturally lead me to the Desire, however I'm concerned about the overall size.
What do you guys think, does HVGA look rubbish on a 3.2" screen or is it fine compared to the like of the Sony Ericssons x1 3" WVGA?!?

Obviously, the pixel density is significantly higher on the X1 compared to the Legend so you will notice a difference. I suppose the best thing for you to do is to go to a store and play with the Hero which has the same screen size and resolution. See if that's ok with you. Keep in mind that the Legend's screen will be supposedly crisper due to the AMOLED.
Personally, I think the pixel density on the Legend/Hero is fine. This is coming from someone who's used to high pixel density of the Diamond and Touch Pro2.
Many thanks for coming back to me, I might nip into a shop when the phones are out. The only problem is that I live in Northern Ireland and sometimes it's hard to find a shop which sells 'smart' phones, it's usually just iphones and nokias!
Engadget
HTC Mondarian on the AT&T network
Perhaps a 1.3 ghz CPU?
Snapdragon QSD8650A processor
4.3" screen
I believe an aluminum casing?
If all that is true, then T-mobile can have their HD7. I'd be much happy with this.
More pictures!
Nothing breathtaking but maybe the best looking WP7 device by HTC so far.
Lets hope the rumors of a 1.3GHz Snapdragon processor and a 1400mAh battery is true.

It's funny how people build up unrealistic expectations and then get disappointed.
As Nietzsche once said, hope dies last, I would kill it first.
Thats unrealistic?
Looks like the Samsung Cetus has a 1500mAh battery.
But hey... lets hope it has the same specs as all the others, so we won't get disappointed.
Oh wait!... I have a better idea, lets don't care at all.
I wish I could quote some fancy philosopher here... or do I?
Samsung Cetus i8700 is prob the best looking so far and with really good specs. I just hope a 16GB flavour is offered for that model.

What's the point in hoping when you know already that it'll have the same specs. Don't know about the battery though.

hoping? there are multiple reports out claiming that it will be 1.3, no one is blindly speculating.some people see the cup half full, but I guess you see it as wheats the point of looking?
Whatever. Microsoft said all devices will use the same chip. You can fantasize about those "multiple reports" as much as you like. There have been multiple "leaks" reposting Photoshop renders made by xda members just for fun, with big blogs copypasting things without thinking. Most of these "reports" had the same source.
Of course many of the blogs out there are wrong and start chirping what the one before them said. But no one is blindly predicting or "hoping" something out of reach like a phone with a 3.0 ghz quad core with 1 gb graphics either. Regardless of what microsoft said it is very possible that there will be a phone with more than 1 ghz, possibly even a 1.3 ghz, within the next year.
Next year, sure. Just not at launch. If this Mondrian is launched this "holiday season" it's getting the same chip as others. Easy as that.
If only it had a qwerty keyboard =(

Nokia World 2011
Live blog from Engadget here
We have pretty much seen the leaked shots of the hardware, what else is everyone waiting to hear about?
I'm really excited to see what type of changes/additions/apps Nokia will bring to the WP7.5 experience.
I also pray the Ace is a real device.
I also want extensive hands on videos and impressions of all the hardware.
Release dates/Prices/Carrier info
We haven't seen the Nokia Ace, waiting to see what that's like before I (Hopefully) buy a 64gb Nokia 800.
I hope we get some really good videos of the hardware too, and if the Ace isn't real I'm going to sulk They look beautiful phones. Hopefully they are going to make me go shopping. More than individual handsets though I'm really looking forward to seeing what they do in terms of marketing the platform; a mobile giant such as Nokia could make all the difference in getting the world to take notice of WP7.

Which confirms this leak from pocket-lint a while back: http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/42352/nokia-ace-windows-phone-7
Not as uniquely exciting as the Lumia 800 but will satisfy the big screen needs of users.

Where are the 32GB devices ????
Hey Guys, a friend of mine told me about an auction on ebay. I kinda really don´t understand the world anymore the iphone5 was sold for 1510€ in germany.
(1510 € = 1.945,182 US-Dollar)
It´s really hard to understand for me that people are gonna buy a phone for nearly 2000$. Atm i´m very happy with my GNex. It´s amazing fast, smooth and costs about 300€ in germany. someone could have 5 Gnex´s instead of one Iphone
It´s hardly understandable for me, why people buy a phone at such high costs with a hardware that´s nothing special today.
it has got a very strange resolution (1.136 x 640). i mean, dafaq, no one is using it, they just chose this xy bla resolution to get as close as possible to the form of the old one. the gnex has got the 720p hd standard, mx player for example can easily play hd videos, even mkv. u´re also forced to use itunes... in the direct comparison to the auction, this version of the iphone5 had 64gb space, but does this excuse the high price? and would the galaxy s3 not be a better alternative?
sorry guys, meanwhile i really hate apple they still get people to buy their phones, which aren´t bad, but so damn expansive and got a lot of limitations in the software.
really can´t understand that, just because it´s apple?!

thank you for your informative (not really) post about iphone5. Please file this in the iphone cabinet with the 30 other threads talking about that phone and not the nexus.
In the before the lock!

OP, people buy the iPhone for the brand not what's inside. The reputation of iPhone's are easy to use devices, while most people still see Android as an ugly, slow updates, pain in the ass to use OS. Android's image is changing but people still think the iPhone is the go to phone, period, end of story and will pay whatever they have to to get one.
