HTC Universal to Samsung i780

I just got an i780....and I must say its the best winmo device i've ever used so far!!!!
Unbelievable specs, extremely stable...rock solid performance....incredibly cheap!!!
Guys, seriously....check out the i780, and I'm sure you'd switch whatever you have for one of these babies!!!
Cheers

Shame to hear you no longer have great Uni...so we don´t see you posting on this site so often
Good luck with your new device!

haha! I still have the uni too....just needed another new device (have been using the uni for over 2 years now! in fact this is the third uni i've bought!)
but, honestly, give the samsung i780 a shot.....its simply brilliant! the fastest and most stable ppc i've ever used! feature complete too....simply amazing! and for an incredibly low price
this is a great stop gap until the touch pro 2 launches and reaches a sensible price point
cheers!

Ohh I see, so you still have it!
For me it´s the only device I have since 2005 and I love Uni!
I think I´ll wait for TP2 to reaches a better price. Samsung could be good but keyboard is a must for me, so I´ll wait...

The samsung i780 has a qwerty too....and after using a uni for years, i can type just as quick on the samsung. I'm totally in love with the i780 to be honest....mainly because its incredibly responsive, very stable as i mentioned.
I can play really high res videos without flickers on my device....dont need to convert or anything! The htc touch pro/diamond and all the other devices struggle to play the same videos. Reason being, the samsung has an intel marvel processor - 624mhz....which totally pwns!
Cheers

i got a i780 an i have to agree with you, it's really a great device!!
The only annoying specific is the SQVGA resolution, that has some incompatibility with certain software,
but for everything else is the best device i've ever used.

oops, sorry, I was thinking on Omnia
I just checked samsung i780 and it looks good but size screen... is smaller than Uni right?
Maybe TP2 is not the right choice because it´s processor...In that case I am thinking on wait for the 2010 HTC models that hopefully will come with snapdragon...if not Toshiba leaked models look really nice!
Cheers,

New HTC Android Device

I didn't see any other thread for this so:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/16/what-new-htc-android-phone-is-this/
Wonder what it could be?

It's the HTC Zoom 2 (HTC Dragon). Spec's say maybe released Dec. 2009:
http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2067&c=htc_zoom_2_htc_dragon

Looks like the Android version of the HD2 many people have been wishing for. Nice to have choices right?

Hm, I really hope it's not. Don't really like the looks of it.
Though IF it is the HTC dragon, it would be easier for me to choose the HD2 (out sooner + sexier ). It is a shame though, as I would have enjoyed trying out Android. Ah well... maybe next time.

Is it me or do the pictures look rather stretched. The screen looks way too long and narrow. It's not proportined right. The looks aren't that great either.

If this is the Android-version of the HD2, then they really screwed up the design, It looks like **** compared to the Touch HD2.
Plus its much bigger with that added chin for the trackball.
They should add the trackball between the buttons and skip that bottom chin.

What you all complaining about? I think it looks great.

It's not ugly. It just doesn't look as nice as the HD2 in my opinion.

Ok Someone else call Shananigans with me.......... This is more than a likely photoshopped Samsung Moment. Look at them both.

looks like the HTC Eris with a few slight changes:

Yeah. But the eris is supposedly the Verizon Hero. So why they are pushing the moto Droid more than that IDK. Probably cause the screen aint no 4.3 inches.
Would be cool if the Eris was the Dragon though. But IDK.
http://phonedog.com/cell-phone-rese...ee-k-i-s-s-say-android-phones-are-coming.aspx
Screen doesn't look big enough neither does the device. The phone the other guy is hodlding is the Droid.
So mebe they took the Eris/Desire and photoshoped that picture so the screen was stretched and phone look bigger? Look at how stretched the Android bot is in one of those pictures where it's in landscape mode.

That phone looks like a shopped Droid Eris which is basically a Verizon Hero. Moto Droid all the way though.

Why soooo much of hoax circulating around. Just like with Leo b4 it ws announced?
It wont be called Dragon or Passion, but Bravo and its expected to be released late Q1, early Q2 of 2010 wearing 3.7'' and not 4.3 screen and many others....

Nobody spoken about an Android-based HD2 and neither did I. I just said that the device which the topic/thread is about (and so are the photos which are circulating) will be released as i have priorly stated on end of March (Q1) start of April (Q2) of 2010, as i have seen all the devices portfolio live, on my hands, a week ago.

Any idea what CPU its running? I like the idea of an android handset, but not if its using the same old MSM as my current TD2.

Guys, the forthcoming on April 2010, Android handset which will be finally called as HTC Bravo has nothing to do with the picture which was circulation over the net for quite a while. The device looks great from any point of view and as member nizzon correctly stated before, i can confirm to all of you, that the rounded red-coloured trackball will be between the buttons at the bottom of the device. The device is slim with perfect design and with really nice specs.
Wrongly many stated that Bravo is the Android side of Leo (HD2) as the only same feature which is maintained from Leo is the Snapdragon QSD 8250 1GHz CPU and many others have been added in advanced as the HD 720p Video caprure.
Will post you shortly exclusively 1-2 pictures to have a look, along with the offcial specs known so far

That sounds awesome dude!

Shortly...? Where are the pictures, then???

Im sorry i haven't posted it so far but will do it as my work was pilled up and to be honest nobody showed interest so far, thats why i skipped it as well. To be honest what i will provide, are scanned brochured images, as these are the only ones found out there, but will open a new thread, specifically for HTC Bravo and us usual...exclusively here on xda.devs

Best Handset at the moment?

Please recommend me a new handset as I'm getting the bug for a new one again and I'm a bit out of touch.
I've had just about every handset HTC has ever made since the very first XDA I.
I'm not put off by size (I love and still use my Athena)
Must be fast and good at playing video/divx etc
Prefer some kind of flash.
I kinda like the Pro2 but worried its just a pretty face and no big performance increase?
Also concidering a Hero but worried about Android. Can I transfer all contacts, calender etc over ok?
Suggestions on a postcard please

The HD2 LEO is the latest and greatest with Snapdragon! See it's section for details:http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=532
But if u want a keyboard, then the TP2.

Touch Pro 2 is the best hardware keyboard device!
We always want more!!
Snapdragon in a few years will be nothing and we still want more speed, more performance......

I strongly recommend you to buy Touch Pro 2. It is more than just a pretty face. It has a tilting screen. It allows for optimum viewing angle when typing, it allows you to easily watch a movie without holding your device, and it's great if you're using GPS navigation in the car.

Thanks guys, any comments on the Hero?
Are they easy to mod and transfer contacts etc from WM?

All HTC devices can be modded thanks to XDA!!
All can be done (almost all )

Motorola Droid is announced tomorrow.
It'll blow the pants of anything we've seen yet.

Hey orb, maybe there will be no keyboard and just visual & voice interface!
Also, there will be Kryptonite Batteries that go a year w/o a recharge!

don't worry about Android. I am a long time WM user, and had a G1 phone for almost a year now. Android is a very very nice system with a lot of software in the Marketplace.
That being said, I just got myself the new Acer neoTouch.
1 GHz Snapdragon, good amout of RAM, nice 3,8" WVGA screen, WM 6.5, configurable accelerometer, nice design, good build quality.
I would say, if you don't need a keyboard and don't want to wait for the HD2, this is the best device today. it is very speedy, has good usability and seems reliable so far.

Yeah mate, you are right

I want this keyboard!!

Damn, this thing makes other keyboards look like a printing press! Looks like Google just acquired them so maybe we'll be seeing it on an Android soon? BlindType keyboard!

yeah, looks great for people with big fingers (or all thumbs) lol. XDA is like a Raiders of the Lost Ark flick, someone in here will discover a source for this treasure and bring it to the masses.

That looks freakin' awesome... I'm assuming there's not apk for it yet, right? (Just high hopes.. :-D)

Hopefully we'll see it in future editions of the OS, since google bought it.

Sick!!!!!!!!!!!!! How much and when!?!?!?

Blindtype was recently acquired by google fwiw.

Yeah I saw this a while back. Stock keyboard is pretty good with predicitng for me already, but this looks cool

I don't really like these things because when you type something that isn't in the dictionary it's ridiculously annoying.

http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=blindtype++apk&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

This looks SICK! I have to have this for sure...do we have any idea on an ETA?

Google bought them out on 10/1... so the good new is theres bound to be an android option.
Bad news is that they will likely be a litle slow getting it out now that the company has the red tape of the google purchase they need to weed through before they can ge back to R&D.

HTC New Eden 1 Concept

Nice design!

I love it, very nice.
But please, switch the Home button with the App Drawer one.

The design is very nice ! Good job.

Wow, that is totally my style! Superclean minimalistication! Nice work man, but don't you think it's a little too early to complain about no one commenting on your design? I'd say keep doing this (from your heart) and do NOT expect any expectations from anybody. Your actions will produce something so sick then the flock willl follow you! Keep up the great work man.

Awesome! Want!
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

Looks really good! Aluminium + thin device = win.

XDAtv
This just made XDAtv news. I love it!

Fine piece of art. 4,3 inch 3D screen should be standard.
PM me when preorders begin

Nice start
Nice curve design
Ho about 4 buttons I think hey are to close to screen.
May try to make version with full glass touch front..??
How about instead key's just touch''mutitouch'' screen...
Can someone think about SmartMob just with volume key up down.
..reset

Great team isn´t it?

trackball?

nice ... loved the aluminium look and the buttons at the bottom .. gives a very sophisticated look ... congrats on the website too ... a suggestion (sry this is off topic) .. use this "outline: none;" css on the search box to get rid of the orange box around it when you click inside it .. ...looking forward to your next design already ..

That's a pretty sweet design. Nice work.

Minimalism <3

This is a great design. Like others said it before me, i love the looks. Aluminum + a much more minimal HTC sense looks awesome.
I would definitely buy one. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!

Nice design, maybe a good price and will break the market

Who cares about bulk and weight (within reason of course) make sure to put an awesome, large battery in it.
