Strangely enough this isn't the image O2 are showing on their UK site...
http://shop.o2.co.uk/ComingSoon
Thats strange, I found the image on o2online.de the German O2 site so assumed it would be the same.
Can't say I like the look of the one showing on o2.co.uk
Come to think of it... Isn't that a Kaiser?
Ah yes, quite right. It's the XDA Stellar (Kaiser).
I wonder when they're going to run out of space-related names?

I'm still waiting for the White Dwarf and the Black Hole.
I just wish all the brand names could stick with one name for each device.
It gets more and more confusing as more devices come out.
It is certainly not the Kaiser. Look at the position of the SD Card.

The picture in DannyBoy's original post is (we think) the XDA Orbit 2 (aka Touch Cruise aka Polaris). But we are referring to the picture on O2's Coming Soon page which is a Kaiser.
Sorry that I misunderstood and thanks for correcting me.

The black hole is your wallet where all the money disappears on high end phones.
This seems to be the real deal. Also, looking at other pictues on the site the screen surround seems to change colour depending upon viewing angle.
http://www.theunwired.net/?item=photoview-o2-xda-orbit-2-windows-mobile-6-professional-gps-smartphone
Is it me or does the frame around the screen look darker (less mirror like) with comparison to the unbranded version?

I think you're right that is looks less mirror like, although it definitely looks like it has some strange reflective properties in the other shots on the review site above. The colour of the surround seems to vary from very dark to a green-grey colour depending upon the angle. I kinda like it!
I've never had a phone from O2, much less one from HTC so I was wondering if there is anything they specifically add or remove from the interface before allowing customers to buy the phone. Will all the Coverflo stuff work the same? Are they likely to hobble the phone in terms of features such as GPS and internet browsing?

I came across this looking for a replacement for my MDA, want a better one. Look at this one on http://www.jarengoh.com/
Its a XScale 400MHz and 4MP camera, and WM5..... Coming out soon. What do you think?
tried PIE and wm5 opera I think you might have a dead link
matrix849:
Try desktop browser. The whole page is one big flash so I doubt anything on the PPC will show it properly.
weezy:
It looks great, but they don't say what it has (hardware wise) besides the camera and WiFi.
Is there BT? How much memory? Screen resolution? Is it a Smartphone or Pocket PC based? (touch screen?)
It's not on the products page of the company they gave the link to, so I don't see anything to be excited about yet.
From memory, I believe this is supposed to cost around $300,000, with the White Diamond consumer end model around $4000.

Hi people,
Here are two additions to the design phones. Both are concept though.
But still are really wicked.
So have a look and let's hope the companies do build such smartphones.

I don't know the rules about forum swearnig but "F**k me!" that's a breath taking phone...even more breath taking than the V3 RAZR and on the same level of breath taking as the Vertu range, which cost around £3,000.
Oh my gosh I've just discovered that Vertu is owned by Nokia Corporation ... so they're just high-end flashy Nokia mobiles?
Uh, what a disgrace!
Nice find
Vertu are hardly high end, feature wise, but they're blingin.
A guy at work here has the Bang & Olufsen Serene, which is also expensive, and damn user unfriendly. But at least it has a motorized self open/close mechanism

Read about it here. Sad news. I was planning to replace my SE P990i with it. The Nokia E90 suddenly looks very nice. (I would pick the Kaiser but I have had enough of QVGA displays.)
Bad news. It only makes me want the HTC Omni even more
HTC Shift
Maybe the HTC Shift? Recent rumors about it being able to run Windows Mobile makes it an interesting machine. I've always wanted to look like a fool taking a call on a brick-like PDA.
I read on another site that this news is confirmed "NOT TRUE" as they are released at different times. Also there should be a 6th model.

Too big for a WinMo device, too small for a decent WinTel one.
I prefer a 4"-at-max PDA + a preferaby ~12" full-featured, lightweight (x61s, for example) subnotebook.
seems it was just a rumour

..Clove has removed that news piece!
Entire Ultimate series still on track
I can't wait for another clamshell PDA to come out. I do agree with Meinsys that the SHIFT is too big. It has nice features, but the size just turns me OFF from it. Plus on another site I saw, the reviewer said it has no phone application included, so basically it is just a PPC and Vista. I'd rather have the PPC and Phone with a decent camera in one device.
I am actually awaiting the release of the HTC Omni and the IMate 7150. Once they're both out, I'll wait a bit for the reviews to come out, before I decide which to choose.
---
7150 is not axed, but panned for next year that is 2008, may b early 2008.This is 100% true
I am using an ATHENA. I use my home PC (with RDP) as XP machine on-the-road, having all my files safely stored there (and NOT on-the-road )
It isn't my best phone, is my best SECOND phone, EXCALIBUR is in my shirt's pocket and ATHENA is the heavvy-duty device. Size doesn't matters but helps! and a PPC used with mouse, connected to a big display (4 in 1 cable is a must for ATHENA owners) is IMHO the best choice for business users
I will vote for a better ATHENA as next killer device for managers, bigger resolution, backlight for the keyboard, HSUPA
Two phones, same OS... I am still using my old laptop sometimes but my back and my right shoulder are really happier now!

Odd one that. I think the site is down.
Anyway, smart-mobile-gadgets.com had a picture of the Silver Polaris in the foreground and a Black one in the background. I was going to post the picture from that site but wasn't sure about forum rules etc.

I for my part would GREATLY welcome a sleek black version of the Polaris.
It seems that the black-version is only for the asian-market.
Klick
The image here shows that it is silver and black in color, but according to HTC, the version that is sold in this region may be completely black instead. The company also said it will likely be available in Asia starting next year, but could not be more specific. Pricing was also unconfirmed.

I too would prefer a black version and I'm sure some 'local' retailers might get it. It whether I can wait that long.
Same to me- i think the black looks way more noble than the silver one.

Now that's what I call misleading! Both shown devices there are the silver versions, but the left one has been photographed so that the light doesn't fall in on its front, as to pretend it would be black...
At the moment there is no black version. all pictures are faked..

It's how you look at it, in my view there's no silver edition. I've had the polaris in my hands, and it looked like the black version. Only in another light it looked silver. When you work with the phone, and look directly at it, it's black/dark grey. It's kind of the mirror effect.
also the right picture is a cad concept art picture not a real photo

@ brrrt: I can send you 200 different pictures of the Touch Cruise where you can see thats silver... But when you say you had a black one in your hand, i believe you. I hope that a black one exists. It seems more like "business"
@isv51:
it's just like in the following picture:
it has a kind of dark grey (antrecite?) screen, and in another light it may seem a bit silver-ish, but it really isn't.
I prefer this one too though, it has the business look on it.
I really think it's strange that all of the pictures shown of the silver device are fabric types (not really working, all with the same screen on it). Have you seen some really working silver ones?
So I've decided that, as I've gotten a few comments already, I wanted to start a thread related to showing off your device. Take a moment, grab a camera, and take a shot or two of your device(s). Right now, I've only got my phones and primary phone accessories included (I count my GSM Datacards as part of the accessories). Not sure how many of you will throw your list in, but I'm welcoming you all to it. Hopefully, I haven't missed this somewhere else...
As you can no doubt tell, I've got some wear and tear on my devices...

None of them slide without me telling them to, if that's what you're asking. Each one will go to its regular sliding spot, stop, and hold until pressure (I'd say regular pressure, not just a tap, but actual pressure) is applied to push it back. I didn't have the Wizards when I started, so I can't speak for them. The Tytn and Kaiser I had from day one, both work just as well as they did then.. I do notice a bit more of an overhang to the opposite side (i.e. when it's in, it hangs a bit more than it should, but nothing overly noticeable).
Heres' my set:
Top Row:
-left: HTC Handomium (made it in Ceramics, not yet released )
-right: Motorola S9HD
Middle Row from left to right:
-ATT Tilt, Cingular 8525, ATT Fuze, Cingular 8525 (bricked radio), HTC Universal
Bottom Row:
-left: HP Jornada 567
-right: Motorola S9 (going back)

I should have put my blue angel in there along with my curve. Damn I have too many old phones and stuff. If anyone wants all that I'll trade everything there (except the touch ) for a touch pro that is in great shape with no problem

Remarks : I do 30-50 emails daily on S5.
It looks cool, though I worry about the magnet doing something to the phone over time. Probably unfounded though.
Otherwise, yeah, I've been waiting for some sort of S5 equivalent to this:
No one has comment... any one using it? Good keys for typing?
RodimusConvoy, where is your picture from? It has no S5 model yet?
It looks nice too

As far as I know, there are no versions of this for the S5, there's only versions for the S3 and S4.
I'm not sure who originally made it, as a bunch of copycats/clones have popped up. I originally saw it at Minisuit, but when I go to the website I see its no longer available. But if you put "sliding bluetooth keyboard" in parenthesis in Google, you'll get hits including where to buy it. For instance, NewEgg has it.
Though that doesn't help if you own the S5 . What you showed may be the only alternative for people who want a keyboard with the S5. And it doesn't look bad, just wondering about that magnet.
I've always been curious about this kind of case. I was looking at this one. http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/galaxy-s5-slide-out-bluetooth-qwerty-keyboard-black-p45647.htm
Sorry, I haven't used one myself...
EDIT:
On closer inspection, I don't think those pictures are the S5... S4 maybe?

Its an S4. The phone in that picture is identical to the one in the pic I posted. That site is pulling a fast one. If you look at the S5, those three "dots" are all to the RIGHT of that tiny bar at the top, plus its corners are squared compared to the rounded S4.
I saw the same thing at Alibaba. It looks like people are taking advantage of the fact people want a keyboard for their S5 by misrepresenting what they're selling.

Yes, I'm very late with this response.
I didn't like it. I found the keyboard inconveniently small, and the corners of the case that clipped onto the phone broke within a few months of use. I'm still looking for a keyboard case for this phone that will give me an experience comparable to having a true QWERTY slider, and I'm really POed that there are no current options available for one.
Samsung is apparently making keyboard cases for the S6 and one of the Tabs that approximate the old Blackberry feel. Not what I'd prefer, but I wish they'd do one for the S5, so I could at least give it a try.
