its a gd pda phone
big is the idea as i find nowadays pda is hard to c!
tatsdiy.com got a TV OUT demo on its site
At last!
Official launch date is May 15.
I see this unit as being the long awaited upgrade to my XDA2, the dimensions are very similar but it is lightyears ahead in all specs and blows away the competition. This is what htc should have been working on instead of moving its product line towards a smartphone design.
O2 asia said they would offer a free upgrade to WM6 once they have tested it.
The USB OTG will be a huge benefit, meaning this PPC will no longer be tied to synchronization with a PC - you can use it with USB flash drives, printers, cameras etc.
IMHO, this is the best all round package you can currently buy and well worth importing it if you want a XDA2 replacement. The presentation is a bit disappointing though, pretty bland but everything else is spot on.
its available in Singapore already, priced currently at SGD1498

hmm, IMHO, that looks like cheap launch price as compared to what HTC universal debuted there
It's the only PDA I know with an embedded dedicated graphics card. Here are the specs (at the store):
Memory: 128MB RAM (DUDE!), 2112MB ROM
Processor: 520mhz PXA270 (um.)
Band: Triband GSM, 3.5G
Connectivity: BT2.0, Wifi B/G, Consumer-level IR(DA)
Graphics: Nvidia GoForce 5500 (not to be confused with the GeForce Go used in Laptops, but this will help A LOT.)
Features:
USB (OTG!)
TV-Out
SRS-Audio
microSD slot (why not a standard SD? <_<)
And that's that. My only complaint is that ve haff no FM Radio - I'm not too hot about GPS yet - but methinks an iTech Clip should solve that... >_>
Anyone wants to donate $1500? -.-

It has FM radio
<_< ok, I just went back to the store. Mentioned nowhere on the brochure or flyer at all. It's something that's marketable so I don't see why it won't be mentioned unless it's not there.
I think its rediculous that they release it without WM6. I am sure they will offer an upgrade path though. Sweet phone...
I was getting ready to get it when I noticed there is no EGPRS
Living in GSM 3G deprived NA and being quite ok with EGPRS (but not GPRS) speeds I can live with that, but as far as I can tell there is no EGPRS on this one
I know sometimes manufacturers will just say GPRS and it includes both EDGE and GPRS but I have a feeling that this is not the case with the Flame?
AFAIK EGPRS is a SW thing only, so would a hack be thinkable?
Is this not an HTC made device or?

Although..the X800 has almost one inch smaller screen
^ And internal memory, including system RAM, beat the pants off pretty much everything except the Dopod U1000. About the only thing it loses out to the X800 is the GPS.

I didn't, I mentioned "SRS Sound", and I refuse to quote stereo speaker and speakerphone since those are pretty much part and parcel of PPCs since 2002. As for FM Radio, yeah, my bad. I've since confirmed that it has an FM radio, but it's just not mentioned in the fliers. Rock on <_<

Dopod U100 is such a large and akward device though, I've had an O2 and iMate branded one but don't want one again...
Have been using it for nearly a week. Here's my impression:
- It's big, but not too big for shirt and jeans pocket (without any case)
- Sturdy made - much much better than the XDA trion, which is my last machine.
- Quite responsive, above average, but see battery
- Not many bundled software - no backup, UI tweak,launcher etc. and I don't like the task manager (O2 menu); it does have a better alarm and a basic wireless manager though
- Not enough buttons! (2 side buttons on the left; +/- button and camera button on the right; L/R softkeys + start and ok buttons + Call/Cancel buttons in the front) That's it. No jog dial, no calendar / contact buttons, no hold button
- Auto-focus camera with led. One word - SWEET
- 128mb RAM and 2 gig rom ... finally, this people have some sense
- Battery life, now this can be a problem. The PXA family is not known for its battery saving ability (I think the samsung 400 is better), and with a huge screen and ram to boot, I'm sure if you use the performance setting (520 mhz) and use it a lot (gaming, wireless), it won't last for even a day. It is highly recommended that you use programmes like XCPU scalar to scale the the speed to 208 when the machine is idle, and max it at 416 (which is enough for most programmes). Then the battery life will be acceptable.
- Bluetooth, crap. Not entirely O2's fault, but how come after so many years MS(uxK) still can't get it right!? I used to own the XDAIIs and the broadcom stack is much better. I tried iTech and Jarba - the call part is ok but the music part is still not done right. Let's hope with the WM6 upgrade things will be better.

HTC Thoth
The successor to the HTC Athena -- AKA the HTC Advantage series -- will apparently be the HTC Thoth. According to both unconfirmed sources, it will use the same general shape as the current model: a tablet with a large display and a detachable keyboard (see image at left).
The Thoth will supposedly sport a WVGA touchscreen that's considerably larger than the one on the Whitestone: 4.8 inches.
It will run Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro on a 1 GHz Qualcomm processor and sport 256 MB of RAM and a 5 MPx camera.
It is expected to hit the market in September.

Qualcomm Processor again? I hope it does utilize it's full potential this time.
Chronology of all sliding keyboard devices - Wizard>Herald>Titan>Hermes>Kaiser>...
Back in the day, there were only a few choices of proper business devices with those nice sliding out thumb-boards. Nowadays it seems they are popping up all over the place.

I will add more as I find them and have time. In the meantime, feel free to suggest more!
Also note: I did not include any of the Nokia phones such as the Nokia N97, because in my mind it is not in the same class as these devices (i.e. Business professional)
Doesn't the Samsung i730 qualify?
Very interesting comparison...good job! I'm looking forward to getting the TP2!

I just want to include those with full thumbboards... if I included the i730 then I would probably have to include the Palm PRE... I think that might be a good comparison as well, all the devices with a one hand thumbboard slider.
I like it lots. Each one was GSM, but titan wasn't??? Maybe include Acer m900?

What do you mean about the Titan not being GSM?
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I thought the titan was the sprint mogul, which doesn't use GSM, hence the incongruity of the sequence of phones.

Perhaps in some places it did not have GSM, but all the models I know of and encountered all ran GSM.
See the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_TyTN
The titan was cdma. The TyTN was the hermes, which I had as a 8525, I think. 2 different dogs.
Ah yes, the TyTN is not the Titan... I fixed that now... can they be more confusing?
Yeah, well the joke's on you, because if you add the titan, you need to add the htc apache. Plus there's the MWg Zinc, etc., quite a few of them...But enough is enough!
What about the E-TEN devices? You know, Glofish and the like... (http://www.glofiish.com/) M700, M750, M800, M810
i know the keyboard didn't slide but the universal was pretty sweet
Right now I got a phone with a physical keyboard (iPAQ Data Messenger to be exact). And I love the keyboard. Now I'm thinking about getting a new phone, but there's almost nothing good out there with a physical keyboard. So I'm thinking about dropping that requirement and going for a virtual (software) keyboard.
Yet, how are you guys experience with virtual keyboards? I've gotten so used to my physical keyboard, have always had physical ones. How is typing on a virtual keyboard? Do note that I like to write mails, long texts and such.
Dont drop the keyboard. If you like to write long things, definitely do not drop it.
Sticking to a virtual keyboard effectivly gives me 3 choices.

---
I don't like the design of the N900. But I'm interested about Maemo 5. Yet I don't really trust Nokia anymore.
The Vivaz Pro is definitly the best looking one, yet it's screensize and resolution ain't nothing to write home about. The 720p HD Video recording is an amazing feature. It runs Symbian, but SE give it their own little touch.
The OmniaPRO runs Windows Mobile. Although it's fully reskinned with Samsung's TouchWiz, it's still Windows Mobile.
Is the TP2 disqualified for some reason?

It lacks a 3.5mm jack (which even my iPAQ does now and I hate).
Underneath it all, it's still Windows Mobile. Which I'm slowly trying to move away from until WP7. It's camera is HORRIBLE.
Rounding it all up it's just my iPAQ with a bigger resolution and TouchFLO3D.
The only plus on it is the keyboard. The keyboard is so perfect and allows me to type very fast.

Understood, just wanted to make sure you had at least considered it, since the keyboard is unequalled (IMO). I certainly understand if it doesn't meet your requirements otherwise.
I just checked this vid:
I tried to race the guy and beat him by just 1 second. Now I'm really considering going with a virtual keyboard.
Virtual keyboards are great as long as the screen is big enough (at least 3.5") and the device has a multi-touch keyboard (I dont think the standard HTC keyboard for android is). I can type just as fast on a virtual keyboard than I could on my touch pro.

+1 virtual is the current & has been the growing wave!
Well, I've made up my mind. Going with a HTC Desire. Unless new info of the HTC Vision comes out within these 2 weeks.
I checked out that thread with the HTC's suspected roadmap for the first half of this year. I wonder how long it's going to take for a 1+GHz phone with a tilting screen, TP2 or better keyboard, and a frickin' headphone jack to come out.
I think I'm gonna order the HTC Desire. Cause the deal is just so good!
HTC Desire seperatly: €450
With a 2-year plan:
First year: €18 * 12 = €216
Second year: €34 * 12 = €408
Total: €624
Subtracting costs of phone: €624 - €450 = €174
Calculating monthly usage cost: €174 / 24 = €7,25
So in fact I'm getting 200 minutes/400 messages + unlimited data for just €7,25 a month!
