Hi guys. This post is only to talk about our expectation to see an HTC One with keyboard.
I looked for a phone with keyboard that has a good hardware specifications but seems there is no phone. Sincerely, I would like to see an HTC One X with keyboard and with all the 4 cores
It's a shame that manufacturers forget the phones with keyboards.
HTC said that One is their new models. I want to believe it like Desire series and there will be an HTC One with keyboard with great hardware specs. What do you think?
I would really love that. I wasn't surprised when HTC didn't announce a hardware keyboard device in the One series, but I was still a little bit disappointed. I think that companies should be focusing on hardware keyboards alot more than they are. Really, the last awesome device with a hardware keyboard was the Desire Z/G2. The only other decent phones besides the Desire Z/G2 with hardware keyboards are Droids, in my opinion. It would be great if HTC released a keyboard as part of the One series AND as a "G3." Like they did with our device, as a part of the Desire series and a successor to the G1.
I'm waiting for this fall, really hoping they release a G3 or w/e. If it will happen we'll hear about it during the summer.

yup, it should be when they will... that is... IF they do at all. It seems like qwertys are extinct now. HTC has been changing their direction a bit lately and I wouldn't be surprised if they don't make one this year. I hope I'm wrong...
I really like the keyboard on the Mytouch 4G Slide I bought for my girlfriend. But it's a big phone, so she has a hard time using the keyboard.
Supposedly the One X will be coming to tmo with the Tegra 3 and all 4+1 glorious cores continuing the G series as the G3X. I really REALLY want a phone with a keyboard, but for the specs of the One X, I'll just bluetooth a wiimote in for all my emulator needs.

yeah, I heard it too It's gonna be REALLY hard to wait on a possibly fictional G3 in the distant summer/fall when we'll have the One X and SGIII to chose from MUCH sooner! I do want me keyboard though.

Its possible (unconfirmed) whether that name will grace the tmobile usa brand name version of the htc one x or the lg optimus 4x. they do also say the one x tmousa version (whatever the name is) will ship with android 4.0 and NOT Sense 4.0.... weird huh? I like Sense but rather have pure stock and add Sense later myself if I felt like it.
I think it's safe to assume that qwerty phones aren't big sellers, or they'd be making loads of them. I would love a One X too though, here's hoping !

yeah, in the end... it's all about money I really think if marketed correctly they could be just as big as they were back in the beginning of the smartphone era. oh well... HTC might pull one out this year, I hope.
Yet another vote for a high spec HTC with qwerty. I cannot do without the keyboard. I bought a dhd to see if I could break the habit but it didn't work. I've even tried a wireless keyboard to go with the dhd. After a couple of frustrating weeks I through the dhd in a draw and dusted off my trusted dz.
I spend a couple of hours per day on the train answering work email and at least another hour of email at home in the evening. Often I am editing word/excel docs in QuickOffice as I respond to those emails. Trying to do this without a keyboard just isn't feasible. Surly there must be many users like me who would happily pay up to £500 for a decent qwerty HTC?!

It would be fantastic if they made something like the HTC One X Pro..... give us a 5 row keyboard.. that would be super awesome
I must say I love a keyboard on my Touch pro 2. Also I must say that an onscreen keyboard on a Titan is pretty good too, only problem is that it takes visual space. It's hard to imagine a Titan with a keyboard though. Also what would that do to the weight and size of such a huge phone. Can't imagine if I could even treat it as a phone anymore.
I would love a One X with a hardware keyboard..... but realistically I don't think it's going to happen
If there were a case available with a keyboard like the TP2 had, or even my G2, I would definitely go for that..... I don't care if it's a bit fat, as long as it feels solid.

Hello everyone!
My father needs a new phone and it looks like the Desire Z is the best option for buying for him.
I'm happy now with my HTC HD2, but I found out that a hell of a lot of tweaking/adjusting register/ROM-updating/enz. had to be done before it was great. When the HD2 came out the phone was great but the software sucked big time. Now I want to know, how about the Desire Z? Are there any bugs or major drawbacks? Anything really not working on these phones?
I'm thinking of trouble like I had with my HD2 which had a 3G/HSDPA-connection that hung up on me every now and than. Audiobooster which you had to turn on (again) after each song, Twitter-tab that never really worked until the last ROM-update and so on...
Let me know what sucks about the Desire Z (or why it's really great)
Thnx!

For me the only minus with DZ are the loose hinge issue, the lack of a front facing camera, the fact that the hardware keyboard does not have all the usual qwerty keyboard characters and that the hardware keyboard does not tilt.
These side, the DZ is great.
To buy or not to buy? The decision will be yours, bearing in mind that there might shortly be better configured devices coming from htc in not too distant a future.
No comparison whatsoever between Windows Mobile and the Android experience on the Desire Z. Having come from the Touch Pro 2, I was used to heavy tweaking & frequent ROM flashing just to make the phone tolerable. The DZ is light years ahead of any Windows Mobile phone. Its fast, smooth, stable, and just a joy to use out of the box. The only real modification I've done is remove the Bell Canada bloatware.

do you need the physical keyboard? if not flash a nice android ROM on the HD2 and go to town. I left my TP2 and HD2 because winmo 6 had come as far as it could, and android leaped ahead of it. I love my G2, but I wish I still had my Hd2 to enjoy with android, I don't use the keyboard, so the hinge isn't a factor, the 4g service is still in its infancy and spotty at best, and i live in a major city. Save you money or your tmobile upgrade credit, and wait for something significantly better and that ain't the nexus S

i have whats considered a newer desire z (i guess) and the hinge has not been a problem whatsoever. Its by far the best phone i have ever owned (Nexus one, desire, moto milestone). You will enjoy the accuracy of a real hardware keyboard as well.

+1. I had a TP2 as well, and the stock ROM sucked.
I am still running the stock ROM (1.34) on my Desire Z, and I love it. I'm sure the custom ROMs are great/even better, but the stock ROM on the DZ is so much better as an experience compared to my old WinMo phone.
Thnx to everyone who answered my question! I've got enough info now. My father is going to buy the Desire Z and I guess he's gonna like it
Naw, he's not going to like it . . . he's probably going to LOVE it!

How can you not use the keyboard? I've tried struggling my way through the IME, but despite the missing characters, I continually find myself opening the keyboard. Much MUCH easier to type with real physical buttons.

You could always be waiting for the next thing... there will ALWAYS be something better if you wait just a little longer. At some point, you have to actually buy the thing.
And the other thing is that the wait could be longer than you expect. It took TWO WHOLE YEARS for them to produce a phone that was a worthwhile upgrade over DREAM. A whole lot of phones have had some really compelling benefits, but considering the whole package, nothing else has yet been able to measure up.... so go ahead and wait until October 2012.

That's what I used to say too. But someone else here pointed out a press release from the ITU, who have *changed* their definition of 4G to now include this sort of HSPA+.

Salutations everyone, I'm simply posting this because I wanted to know if anyone has information on a possible HTC G3. My contract with T-Mobile is ending soon and there are quite a few fantastic phones coming out but I LOVE the G series of HTC's Android phones. They come stock Android are very easy to use and MOST important to me at least is the physical keyboard. I NEED a physical keyboard.lol. Just wanted to know if anyone has any intel about it and if they aren't coming out with a G3 what phone would be recomended to me/anyone else in the same situation. Thanks in advance.

+ 1 to your query.
I'm also very curious about the next great HTC Android QWERTY-slider. Actually, the gadget wires have been strangely bereft of quality QWERTY-slider handsets in general. Looking-through the news about QWERTY-sliders, all I get are bits and pieces about the different carrier-specific variants of the Desire Z.
Both the G2 and Desire Z are about a year old at this point and the only viable replacement for me seems to be the Droid 3/Milestone 3. I've seen a Samsung QWERTY-slider handset headed to Verizon but, truthfully, it's ugly. There's also supposed to be a full-sized Sony Ericsson Xperia QWERTY-slider out soon but like the Verizon Samsung, it's plastic-y garbage. I'd rather avoid either handset if I can.
I think part of the reason is that with the larger screens being shipped these days, the suits that run the handset makers probably don't see a need for a QWERTY-slider -- it's easier to type on a virtual keyboard from a larger slate. From personal experience, I have to agree -- both my HTC Sensation and Galaxy SII are pretty easy to type on. Of course, I may just be a lousy touch-typist but I am still much faster on my Desire Z's qwerty keyboard. That's the reason why, even though I have (arguably) the Top 2 Android dual-core phones, I still use my Desire Z as my "main" phone.
Of course, from a practical perspective, I wonder if there's even still that much demand for an Android QWERTY-slider. Most business users, after all, still tend to gravitate towards Blackberries and the bland (not to mention dated) Blackberry OS UI.
It's reprehensible, really; having owned 2 Blackberries myself (for business reasons), I have got to say that I hate the damned things. That said, given Blackberry's dominance (perceived or otherwise) in the QWERTY field, perhaps HTC just doesn't see the urgency.
I really hope we see something soon...

I agree with this point as to why there aren't more qwerty slide out or on the horizon. The larger screen sizes coupled with better virtual keyboards with prediction are making the desire for them much greater than a hardware keyboard as well as not having the added bulk that the keyboard adds. Also, I think the manufacturers would rather not have to deal with making a qwerty phone because it could significantly reduce the amount of engineering involved in making one. Even though I love my G2, I think my next phone won't have a keyboard.

I'm so ready for this... If the Droid 4 (Dec 22nd) doesn't suck like the last 3 droids than I might make the switch to verizon. 5 Row, 4" qwerty? Yes please...
Hopefully Motorola won't **** this up like they usually do. As much as I love HTC, they've been slacking lately. Google should have bought them instead of Motorola.

The Droid 4 (will be Milestone 4 this side of the pond) is utter sex. I want it.
The only problem is that, like all Moto phones, it will be locked down harder than Guantanamo Bay, preventing any kernel-level hacking, and thus the dev scene for it will pretty much be still-born.
Droid 1 didnt suck idk what your talking about the keyboard could of being better but specs was the best better than iphone 3gs in 2009. Droid 2 wasnt that great and droid 3 was good it have 5 keyboard row and the physical keyboard is good until they **** up with 4g lte radio instead they add 3g radio. Due to Verizon permission is not Motorola fault they listen to what Verizon demand as is Verizon paying for it.

Are you referring to the aesthetics? Because mechanically, the unit is VERY sound. The real buttons on the front are **MUCH** nicer than stupid digitizer-fake-buttons since they actually respond when you press them, and not randomly when you're trying to "scroll up" with the trackpad.

Certainly a matter of personal taste. But to me, all the Droid slider phones have looked good on paper, but feel cheap once hands-on. Not terrible, but not up to par with HTC's typical build quality. The Moto Droid phones just feel plasticky, and the keyboard keeps getting a bit better, but still not great.
Moto seems to be trying to kick things up a notch as far as physical quality with the Droid RAZR, and carrying some of those design features to the Droid 4. So I'd like to see what it feels like hands-on.

You really should check on tmonews.com from time to time. These threads that you posted in are just wishlists lol
Rather than creating a new thread.. I am looking for the same thing; any news since back when this post was created on a g3??
I am thinking about getting a new phone, and looking for a sweet qwerty android- I used to have the G1 and it was real nice at the time. I ve thought about the g2 but its a bit outdated and im a bit tempted to just go with the mytouch slide 4g but ive heard its keyboard aint as fantastic as the g2...
Please everyone stop talking about the next g2!!!! we're full of threads with opinions on next qwerty phone, next g2, next htc qwerty etc etc... can we just keep one? especially because there's no evidence of a new qwerty phone from htc...
So I've been a big fan of physical keyboard phones since around 2006~ish. The only smart phones I've ever had, have had a physical keyboard. Now that I'm close to my handset upgrade I want to find something worth to replace my trusty G2/Vision. I am a T-Mobile customer and have been one for quite some time. I don't plan on switching anytime soon. I am somewhat bothered to see that there are less and less high-end physical keyboard phones being released. In my opinion, it is a must have feature and with the new quad-core and x86 based phones right around the corner, what will happen to the users that are torn between the latest/greatest, and the desire of a physical keyboard?
I know how you feel. My first phone, HTC s720, had a physical keyboard on it. Loved it. Upgrade time game and I opted for the HTC Hero. No keyboard, small screen and laggy OS (Android 1.5). Couldn't handle it so I bought the DZ and love it to death to this day.
I'm afraid though, most high end phones won't have a keyboard. This saddens me because having physical buttons, while it adds bulk to the phone, is more accurate than any on screen keyboard. Knowing this, I think my next phone is most likely the HTC One X, unless HTC releases another variant with a physical keyboard. Never going to any other brand either. HTC = quality stuff.
I've got my eye on the HTC One X as well. It's rumored that the t-mo version will be stock android. I've had a physical keyboard since the G1, so it's not easy to consider a phone without one. However, the stock onscreen keyboard (and speech recognition) has gotten better. Perhaps I'll zip tie my G2 shut to see if I could survive without the physical keyboard...
I hope they will release something like the mytouch 4g this year with quad also for Europe

Thinking I changed my N1 with a Desire Z just to have the qwerty... I'll change it (if I don't drop it in water before... ) in mid 2013 so I hope the milestone 4 (or 5 more probably) will be released this winter, maybe with a quad so that I can buy it for 250-300€ in june...
Damn it, I was hoping that at least one manufacturer would stick out and present a nice hardware QWERTY during the CES.
Though I understand that a lot of people do not need a physical keyboard, there could be at least one alternative for power users.
The Motorola Droid 4 looked like a step in the right direction at least. But with a non-removable battery and a locked bootloader I'm less sad, that it likely won't come to Europe.
So I'll have to keep hoping....

Probably soon...
6 days en-counting
I had one last Thursday from expansys. Used it till Saturday when I became so irritated by the camrecord freezes I gave it to my son for my old sgs2. Its good, and when the battery usage and other minor software glitches have been sorted will no doubt be a winner. However, seeing the chance to shift it without having to suffer eblag was too good to miss. I have now registered to preorder the sgs3. After the sgs2 it will have to be stunning...yes far more so than a One X. With or without heavy muli-tasking I did not find the One X stunningly fast I wouldn't have said any better than this samsung. The HTC build quality and shape is an impressive piece of design and QA. You can't fault it's manufacture but with an iffy camera even the multi-task button and bfo screen couldn't swing it for me. So I wouldn't dis it as it's undoubtedly the best phone on the market at the moment. Samsung have no doubt now have committed one of their spec options to production and won't be searching for a 1.28 update within 3 days of it's release.

The one series is brutal but HTC are losing out on reliability. The phones are lovely, clean and the usual awesomness but it has no spark. I can't help but feel there is something missing when having a play on the one series. I don't know why but I might drop HTC after so many years and go towards Motorola.
The G1 is still king in my eyes.

Use search function!! How many times must you noobs be tol...oops, got carried away there for a sec
I reverted my Desire to RCMix2.0 last night (for anyone reading or using SEARCH, the BEST ROM in the history of phone modding), because I know it to be reliable. Then I charged the phone and placed it back in it's box and *sniff* buried it *sniff* in the *sniff* bottom drawer of my *sniff* bedside table *sniff, sob, sniff*
If I may say a few words...it was a good and just phone. It went anywhere and did anything I wanted it to (and I mean anything...this phone could vibrate on demand!!). Sure, we had our moments, like the times it'd hit boot screen after a fresh flash and just hang there, looking stupid...but a quick rip out of battery and kick in the guts usually had us walking, and talking, phone in hand, off into the sunset again.
But I musn't cry...I know Desy would want me to move on and be happy...and lemme tell you, I am more than happy. I have found the most wonderful, sweet, caring and beautiful replacement phone I have ever known! She is so smooth to the touch, performs in ways I only ever dreamed of...I am actually hesitant to enhance or modify her, she is so perfect. And when she gazes into my eyes with that big, beautiful screen...all the pain of losing my Desy seems so distant. I am just so happy now!!
Farewell from me too.
Desire has served me very well - my contract ran out 6 months ago, but there was nothing else out there that offered that much more than my trusty Desire and the huge choice of custom roms on XDA (thanks to great work from the devs here)
Then the One X was released.....
Move u lot,, desire 4 life!!!

This is my farewell as getting my one-x in an hour. This forum has been awesome and i have learned a lot android wise and have loved the sheer variety. best of luck to the ICS devs and thanks to all the others! much love
I am the pround owner of a HTC One X and so find myself moving onto the One X forums now.Thanks everyone who helped me to root,unbrick etc.
I cant accept the changes brought in by the One X, so I'm sticking with my Desire till the S3 comes along and topples the One X..

I'm waiting for the S3 too! My little hope is it having a quad core with cortex A15 cores and a new gpu... But I'm dreaming at first I've said "if S3 it's not better than One X, I will stick to HTC", but after reading some "not too much positive" feedback (mainly about Tegra 3) I will leave the One X where it is
If that's not the case (about cpu/gpu) and the S3 it's not that surprising, I think I will wait a little longer with my lil' old desire, the new oxygen MildWild 3.9 got me a new phone
Sent from my MildWild for Desire using XDA
I'll be saying my farewell now as well. Had my One X now for about a week... already rooted with a few mods on it now
Desire won't be going far though as the other half has it now, and I'll still be watching the desire section as she wants to have ICS on there asap.... but wants to takes pics and vids too so it's GB for the moment.

Same boat as you! Although my mum has my desire and Terepin is on the Evo 3D forums
Although i dont see him much now....
Since the SGS3 is just as big as the One X, I will keep newly acquired One S and wish you all a kind farewell.
The Desire was - and still is - an awesome phone and was my first android phone.
i like it

I'm sticking around for yet a while. Maybe even until next year. As I see it, the step from desire to todays top of the line is just to small. I don't want to pay that much for such a small change.
The development may seem slow to us consumers, but that only means that developers have more models in their product pipelines. I'm waiting for that number of models to reach critical mass, forcing developers to skip several steps in the pipeline queue and release some serious hi tech all of a sudden.
My guess is that the sgs2 was so good that the market became saturated in combination with Apple not releasing #5.
I hope that when either critical mass is reached or #5 is released, some first class equipment will see the light of day, that companies will release second rate (compared to the above) gear at a sale and that everyone dumps prices and runs for the hills.
Or I might settle for Samsung 3
I just bought a Nexus 4 two days ago. Damn phone is sexy as hell. Fast too! So yeah, thanks to everyone who made my first Android experience well worth it. I learned a lot from here but now it's time I move on to more exciting things
Shout out to the developers for their hard work and patience
Sorry for bringing this thread back from the grave. I hope I see some of ya'll on the Nexus 4 threads..

Yes, HTC will do it.
LOL (lot of lies)
I was hoping something like this would pop up. This section has been slow and probably will be slower in the next couple of weeks.
Off topic but wth:
I'm still torn between One X and One S.
I intended to get One S but it seems that One X took all the development away from One S. From what I've been reading, OneS out perform OneX even. The only thing that puts me off about OneX is the damn size.

You'll get used to the size. I was struggling at first, but then, after using it for a couple of weeks, wow... I'm so happy I bought it. What you have been reading is benchmarks. There is no real performance difference aside from t3 games. The battery on the OneS is better though. What made me choose it over the One S was the available memory. But why don't you go to a store and try them both. That should help a lot.

That's what sucks. The One S is not released officially here on our region. Only the One X and the One V. It's kinda difficult to make an overall comparison when I can only get One S online at the moment.

I wonder why some countries like mine do not stock the One S. It seems better than the One X. However, as it is not being sold in my country, I'm unable to get it with contract. And its too expensive for me to get it online.

Besides performance and speed of the devices: i recommended to go to a store where they have both devices. Grab them and have a look at the displays! The one X just kills the one s (slcd vs. amolad with pentile matrix i think -correct me if i am wrong). if you compare both displays, you will immediatly see the disadvantages of the pentile matrix of the one s...

As I've said before, OneS is not available in my region. I would love to compare it side by side but HTC don't wanna do business so it seems.
I might wait a little bit to see how SGS3 stacks up

I picked up a One X as an upgrade on Vodafone, it's going back and I'll switch back to my trusty old Desire for a while. No issues with screen flex or any of the other gremlins that seem to have plagued people, I'm simply massively annoyed at the way HTC are handling "unlocking" after the big hooraw they made about "listening to their customers". Well, that and the fact the phone is a sealed unit. I hated the idea when the iPhone was initially released and find that I still do. Swappable battery and memory is simply too useful to live without on a daily handset.
Don't get me wrong, the phone itself is a nice unit. Both pleasant in the hand and nice to use, the screen is quite lovely and the camera seems to manage quite well although I suspect it will have the same issues as the Desire in long term use with the lens getting scratched and affecting image quality.
I'll look at the S3 when it's released but will probably hang on for a while, Samsung usually offer nice hardware specs but the firmware is almost always atrocious.
