Only by vague comparison. Specs and performance are most similar to Kaiser, without a sliding QWERTY. Size is only slightly larger than the ELF (Touch). It does resemble Artemis, but the specs and features are far superior.

Has it got a real hardware touchflo screen like the original Touch?
Or is it a software one like the Kaiser?
And is the screen transflective?
Thanks.

It has the real hardware screen. Actually, it is the same size screen as the original Touch, surrounded by 'black chrome' over the entire face. As for transreflective, I believe it is backlit like the origianl Touch. Side by side, the screen qualities are identical. If I find more information on this I will repost.

Can you please do me a massive massive favour and see whether it is readable under direct sunlight (like the TyTN/Hermes) or faded out (like the TyTN II/Kaiser)?
Thanks.

i think all of htc's new screens NOT transreflective

But if it was the same as the original Touch, then it would be, and that's what I am really hoping...

Hi,
Can we please get the HTC Debug Tools you got there? (Gps router, etc...)
Please upload it.
Dump the rom or somthing please.
Thanks,
Nadavi.

I am not sure I am getting this -- does it mean you actually already got one of your own? Where from? Expansys/mobileplanet pushed back the availability by another 10 days.

Hi raskell, could you please take some standard pictures of it, i wonder to buy this phone, but i'm not sure how it looks, would like to see some real images (without photo shop improvements) of this new machine

just preordered this sucker, looks to be a good device

Nice1 but I like the Kaiser more

aye, this is pretty much the same thing without the keyboard, which i don't need ;p just wish it had a vga/bigger/true colour screen

DeviceWire are saying that HTC have pushed back the launch until mid-late Dec. Devicewire expect to be shipping at the beginning of Jan. Does look a good phone, got it on pre-order, hope it doesn't disappoint!

can someone check about hardware accelerated directX on that device ?

Here's some photos, just in case you're doubting if I really have the device.
As you can see the front face is 'black chrome' , actually mirror like. that's why photos are taken from oblique angles.
A standard SD card adapter is shown for size reference. The phone is sleek and trim, fits comfortably in the hand and in the pocket. I use a case for the Samsung BlackJack which fits it quite well.

Wy, you are in the UK, I am in Ohio. (I leved in Leeds for three years.) Chances of having a sunny day, in Ohio, in November is quite slim, as it is where you live. I did hold the device directly under a 60 watt spot light and it is still totally visible. My wife's original Touch is viewable in high sun.
Here it is side by side with the Sprint Touch. The actual LxW of the screens look identical.

My uni is dead and i am happy...

yes my uni is almost dead... The problem is screen... It is working sometimes but not always... But as i said i am happy... Why..? yes because i have now a reason to buy a new phone. Uni was a perfect phone/pc : ) It was tired after all this rom i have tried... It can not more... I was so happy for it...
...and all of you... Thank you all for to make this community posibble... I need your help for last time...
As i said i will buy a new phone. Options are touch pro-xperia and touch hd. I was so close to buy touch pro but... xperia and touch hd have a high resolution screen (800 X 480
TFT-skærm) I think with these two phone open a new area in phone history.
So the problem is... Should i buy touch pro or xperia... I can wait for xperia but i think that the screen can make some problems with software... etc... am i wrong? thanks again...

Touch pro. Unless theres a touch hd pro on its way!

: ) exactly

Any real-life experience about the performance anybody? From QVGA to VGA the pixels quadrupled resulting in bad performance for e.g. navigational applications or any other apps which used non-accelerated graphics. This especially shows when using landscape on the Uni. (Try TomTom in portrait mode and then in landscape.)
Is there any info about the performance on those new hi-res devices?
Cheers,

so i think touch pro will be a good replacement... It could be better with a bigger screen...

How about the Toshiba Portégé G910? It has a high screen resolution (800 x 480) as well plus GPS built in and a fingerprint reader. Its the same type of device as the HTC Universal, even better because of the second monochrome display on the cover.
On a russian Toshiba distributers page i´ve read that some progs dont running on a 800x480 screen at all. Dont remember which prog exactly, it was an GPS Navi Prog. IGoMyWay 8 is running fine on that device.

If you are happy because your Uni es dead, I think there is no point suggesting, as any device would make you happy again...
I´ll never be happy if my Uni dies!, better to have it working and get a second device!
Good luck

I went from Universal to Touch Pro. And I love it. I recieved it a week ago and thought that the smaller screen would be anoying, but now I dont think about it anymore. And also its nice to have a phone you can actually have in your pocket.

i agree with you about a phone we can have in our pocket... i have seen a dummy touch pro today, nice phone but screen is really small. I dont know how it is in use. you say it is not annoying... is it because you are used to use it after a week or is it really a good screen... can you make a comp. between universals 3.6 screen with that?

TP indeed has a god screen. Its very sharp and clear which realy compensate for the smaller screen. After using it a day or two i didnt think about the small screen anymore. I think the screen is as good as Universals.
Also the browser Opera gives a good experience while surfing on the web. Its very easy to zoom.
I use to be a dedicated netfront 3.5 user, but nt3.5 just dosent work on TP. It makes the TP crashing every now and then. And using the bookmark is not as smooth at it was on universal. But Opera is a very good alternativ.

Decision is made : ) I will wait for htc hd... because touch pro is still not here... When it comes, there will be only 2 months to htc hd.... Touch pro is too late... The secod reason is, i think hd phones is a new area so i will use my money on a htc hd...

I'm not happy
contrary to you, i'm not happy my uni dead......
I have a hermes with me, just because it has qwerty, but the screen position is not comfortable.....because it cant be bend.....

What to get when you "bricked" your G1 :'(

I recently tried to root my friend's g1( i was a little over my alcohol limit) I forgot to flash the radio first ,so i flashed the SPL first as you all know the phone is dead now... so i had to give my phone to my friend now im G1less :'(.
Anyways i was thinking in getting another g1 but there is so many options now and i was wondering what phone would you guys recommend me to get in replacement of my beloved g1 .
Thx in adv.

basically anything with snapdragon

any phone in particular? (im in USA)

The Nexus One All advantages, Pro's, etc. are in older threads of the N1 forum section!

anything with a key board? i love the way the N1 works but i got so use to having a qwerty keyboard

Same here. There is no mistaking the Rhodium keyboard. It is superb and you can feel when you may have hit the wrong key. It wasn't till I got this phone that I started using primarily full words while texting

hmm so many choices ! right now im using a Nokia xpress music 5300 lol I miss my Android so much and my bricked phone is just there sitting and waiting,hoping someone finds a fix

wait a bit till desire with keyboard comes out...it will be called vision and since desire is basically N1's twin....vision will be the same but with qwerty keyboard which is similar to rhodiums,check here http://htcpedia.com/news/htc-vision.html
although that photo might be just a photoshop artwork (someone combined silver desire with rhodium)...well i took a few looks and it is photoshopy...it seems to me that resolution of the desire's part is a bit higher than the rhodium's,the edges are a bit smudged,and there is a white glowish area found at outer sides of both hinges...also,look just a bit above the "4" key and...it looks like it is desires volume down button...which is quite stupid because it already has one volume up/down button which is found on the rhodium part....

First 2 Days with the Sensation

Got my Sensation 2 days ago, and after the amount of *****ing I read on this forum I was a bit worried...
So here is my verdict:
The good:
- Camera issues (crashed on pic): NOPE
- Screen responsiveness issues: NOPE
- WiFi issues: NOPE
- Lag: NOPE, stop *****ing, this is more responsive than a Desire
- Great keyboard, I love the multi-language suggest
The bad:
- Reception is AWFUL. The Desire wins hands down. Nothing to do with death grip either, on the same network with Speed Test the Desire scores are double, seriously!
- The screen is a fingerprint attractor. How you do you guys clean the screen? Anyone using some antistatic coating? Can you recommend one?
I come from a Desire, compared to that this phone feels a lot better. Seriously.
To the people that said it doesn't feel like much of an update compared to the Desire: I really don't get you.

Otherwise could you point me to the relevant thread?

I've tried a lot of different things to clean the screen on my sensation and I've come to the conclusion that you can use a t shirt, a blanket, a napkin, a towel ect. Seriously this is the easiest screen on a touch screen phone to clean. A free rubs on my sleeve and its spotless. And with the gorilla glass you don't have to worry about scratching it. Enjoy your sensation

Wash your hands once in a while jeez......... j/k
I have the AUO screen (screen manufacturer makes no difference in the gorilla glass btw) and mine is definately succeptable to fingerprints, but they are easier to wipe off than they are to acquire.

Glad to see more threads with people actually singing the phones praises and saying that not everyone suffers from these issues. So many people report problems, but very few report when everything goes fine. So as we all know this means anyone coming into the forum just sees lots of issues, it's easy to forget that it's only a few people sufering from these, and only the ones suffering seem to add to the threads that have been opened anyway.
Thanks for the good news

Coming from the dell streak, I have to say I love this phone, it is way better than the streak. Mind u if the streak had sense 3.0, then I might have a different opinion LOL.
Ok the reception has issues (random ones) but that's not that big a problem,
Love the HTC widgets, its great to see manufacturers like to have a polished interface that is very useable straight out the box. That said would be even better if they could be re-sizeable. (couldnt believe how bad stage was) its great you don't have to down load apps to get the phone the way u want it, just wish I could get a refund now on those paid ones lol
Before mine arrived I had picked up on some of the negative posts and was a bit concerned, but everything works perfect. HTC put this in a 5 incher n I'll buy one 2morrow as I miss the steaks real estate but size isn't everything lol.

Cheap-ish new screen needed..

Hi Guys
Does anyone know where I could buy a fairly cheap HTC Desire screen?
I regretably broke my screen by throwing it :/ and for the past few months it has been working but some of the screen just wouldnt respond. But now the whole thing has cracked and I cant use the screen at all.
I have looked into getting it fixed by professionals and screens online but seeing as it isnt a new module anymore,when I do come to the end of my contract in October,i wont get much for it if I sell it. Therefor I dont really want to spend a great deal fixing it.
For the mean time I am using my friends HTC Diamond but it just doesnt compare to the desire!
Any suggestions would be appritiated
Thank you

how cheap?
well, it depends on how "cheap" by your definition.
I see one seller from ebay.uk sells it for around £20.99 right now.
good luck !

That price is perfect. Compared to the £45-50 price range that Iv seen!
Do you have the link?
Thank you

Try: htc desire lcd -(z, hd, s, protector, protectors, silicone, cover, case, stylus, clear, guard)
Sort price low->high then choose one you are happy with, the -(x, y, z) should get rid of most the rubbish that hct desire lcd brings back

sorry for a-bit late reply.
can't post a link due to my low # posts.
but for the shop I refer, just search for "Desire display" and look for the £20.99 price (seller name's = macrobolous)

Are we talking about a screen or a Digitiser?
Is the outer glass broken? Can you feel the cracks with your finger?
If you can, its the digitiser. If you can't, its the screen. That can either be AMOLED
or SLCD.

I bought an AMOLED screen from Ebay UK and it works perfect. £20.99 + P&P.

here you go
you can get on from ebay or use those links...
