HTC Raphael news

Looks ****ing hot!

Props to Engadget for doing the search work.

Yeah, looks good, qwerty keyboard is needed

please say it have tilt

ya. using 13" monitor at home is so cool! haha
WTF i want a 2.8" 640x480 when i can get sony X1 with 3" 800x480 WVGA!

Well...
My current awareness is that there is no tilt on this device, it just slides out (i can be wrong, as looking at some more pics there may be a mechanism under there...)
I am a big fan of the X1 with the 3" screen but think about it, the X1 is WVGA, most programs that people make within this site are QVGA and VGA compatible... does not go so well on a WVGA screen, however i don't doubt that will be a few WVGA apps - but not alot. Its all about compatibility.
I mainly want a conformation from somewhere/anyone that this device supports a microSDHC card (i.e. it has a memory card slot), i have read that it may, but no actual conformation... If it does, hello HTC. The NO microSDHC slot on the diamond put me off, i hope this one has one...
I also hope that the X1's panels can be replicated for other devices, but we will have to wait and see for that one...

R U Serious?
"Don't expect a stateside release -- at least in this incarnation -- given the tri-band action, so we'll continue to hold out for the Sprint version."
WTF

Sweet! That looks nice! Im glad I held off getting a vario 3!

Yeah, it may be because the Apple is pushing it's 3G iphone and doesn't want to have any real competition...

I have a feeling its a quadband phone but the radio rom isnt quite ready for prime time (it doesnt have to be yet, the phone isnt launching in the USA yet)
As for the iPhone theory, dude, if I took a silver sharpie and wrote "3G!" on the side of a regular red brick, it would compete at the same level as the 3g iPhone. Its got 3g written on it and it holds down paper.

LOL! now That was funny
I agree

Looking forward to July if it really is released then.
I see at http://www.gsmhelpdesk.nl/en/specs.php?id=2522 it does say MicroSD I hope it's does have a MicroSDHC card slot since the 16GB card is due in June.
As for the screen I've had a Tosh G900 for the last 11months and 800x480 is rubbish. As loads of apps don't work either wont run at all crash (TomTom portrait) or do mad tripple drawing stuff (TomTom landscape).
800x480 is nice for web pages though. Altough at 10pixels per mm you need good eyes for small text!
I think I am drawn towards the Raphael over the Xperia X1 due to it's tiny size. As well as a lot of apps not using the extra pixels of the WVGA devices.
I'm also keen to get back to HTC and all the ROM cooking and updates that have been missing on the Tosh which still has loads of bugs after nearly a year.

I guess you misunderstood me. What I mean is that AT&T and Apple are both interested to sell as much iphones as possible before letting a better model to hit the market!

Shall we get the Raphael?

Checking in!
Just to share a thought. Looking back more than a year ago, I had to spend some good effort hunting for the TyTN 1 (Got the first available variant model Taiwan CHT9000). This year alot of decent phones came out, making decisions much harder to make. I guess it is good news...
The Raphael would be a dream keyboarded WM 6.1 micro SD device but since I currently own the HTC Diamond and Apple iPhone 3G. I have to double think before getting this. May be I will have the Diamond sold and get the Raphael.
The iPhone lacks AD2P Bluetooth which is a serious draw back. The battery is non swappable, no memory card (not really a big deal cos the itunes sync is much more reliable than Active Sync ).
Feel free to share your thoughts!

Wow, you really are a "PPC-Warrior" with all those devices :O.

drivers?
Shall we get the Raphael?
Mmm that depends of the performance of the gpu,
or presence of a graphic driver!
Does anybody has information about this issue?

Does it take SDHC or just regular microSD?

takes SDHC up to 32GB

I had a dream...
What about the famous HTC Dream. its been long roumered to be out before year ends. Would it be worth waiting for I wonder.

I have so been waiting for this device to hit the shelves. HTC should have had this thing available 2 weeks ago or at least made some noise about it. Imagine if people knew about this!!
Apple sold 1 million Iphones here in Australia in the first 3 days and you cant even type on the damn thing without having to constantly correct yourself if you have fingers bigger than what my 5 yr old has and the GPS cant speak directions, no messenger and list of draw backs goes on.
I'm just hanging for this thing to arrive.

Will the Raphael have the same diamond back as the ,uh, Diamond? I read somewhere that the diamond doesn't lay flat on the table. I also read somewhere that there will be an optional flat back. Any thoughts?

The T-mobile branded Raphael has a flat backcover...

I can't really think of any reason not to buy a Raphael. This looks like the perfect device for current standards. And I don't think it has any serious flaw, which kept me from buying other devices (like the video issue on Tytn II for example).

The Raphael looks indeed quite great to me, but I like the screen size of the Xperia. Would there be a reason not to go for the Xperia?

The only thing that's putting me off is the screen size. 2.8 inches really isn't very big, especially when you're used to the Universal and its wonderful 3.7 inch VGA screen.
The xperia 3 inch screen isn't much bigger than the touch pro, plus I prefer the touch pro styling. I also wonder if the xperia's WVGA screen will cause software compatability problems?

1. maybe software problems with that screen solution
2. no video out
3. probably no (or not a lot) support by the chefs and professionals in this community for that hardware...
4. no release date avaliable

I have read the keyboard is awful. Unless they improve it before releasing, which is highly unlikely because that would change the design, I wouldn't buy it, afterall the main reason for me to choose Pro instead of Diamond is the keyboard, which is considered excellent by some people who had a chance to use it.

thanks, your arguments make enough sense to reconsider my liking. I wish the Diamond Pro would have a 3' screen ;-)

I heard that X-Peria is going to be released only in oct end , so thats quite some time whereas Raphael is scheduled to be launched on aug 5th i guess.
I am eying on the Raphael.

the physical screen size of the X1 is only 0.2" than the Raphael...
A good reason not to go the X1 is the wonderful Xda-developers forum
Another is that it's a bit delay
Personally the perfect phone for me would be a Diamond with micro-sd card support and a 3.5" screen with VGA but I sold my prophet and I can't no longer wait for the perfect phone. So, the best for now is the Raphael...
P.S. - Samsung Omnia is also a no go for me cause it doesn't have a stylus...

Actually the omnia has a stylus which looks like lipsick lol, there's nowhere on the handset to store it thought.. picture below.

Sunlight readable?
I am pretty sure I want to get the Touch Pro over the Xperia X1 apart from one thing. The reviews of the Xperia say it's screen is readable under direct sunlight. People I know with the Diamond say it is not.
I've spent the last year with the Tosh G900. It also has the 800x480 like the Xperia but it can't be seen outside. I was thinking that all these small screen high res phones were unreadable in sunlight. Maybe there is a problem with transflective displays at this pixel density?
The Touch Pro has a lot of advantages over the X1, 5 rows of keys, TV out and 640x480 screen (this is better I now know after living with the 800x480 for year and finding loads of apps that wont work). But I like to use TomTom while cycling so sunlight readable would be quite a bonus...
This phone so nearly does everything that I've been waiting so many years for, apart from decent camera with optical zoom and OLED screen. Guess I'll have to wait a few more years before I'm completely happy!

actually the diamond is the first pda/phone i have that the light sensor really works, if there is too much sun he will increase the display light, for me it is quite readable ( better than x7500 for example )

Prices have yet to be announced, but should be competitive as E-Ten devices usually are.

Excellent stuff boz also a great review!
This will be my next phone as soon as it comes out...
Can you please tell me how good the DAB radio is?
Any idea on a release date?
Thanks!

The dab radio is part of Freeview in the UK, so all the radio stations for your region should be available and in digital stereo. Don't forget it has an FM radio also.
EDIT:- Sorry the release date should be around the end of September-ish!

Many thanks for the reply boz!
How is the camera, is it any better then Kaiser?
I look forward to its release... time to put my Kaiser on sale.

The camera is FAR superior to the Kaisers, and even has a flash. Overall, it's a far superior device, and is much much faster; but it still has a few quirks that will need sorting before they ship it to market.
The GPS is WAY more sensitive than the Kaisers' too, and even got a lock when I was in a jet last week! 37,500 feet up, 499mph! The Kaiser couldn't get a lock. TomTom does odd stuff at that speed.

Amazing! This is making me even more eager to get my hands on this device.
Any chance of capture shot?
Thanks for the answers.

Sure, here's one I took whilst doing about 20mph in a speed boat.
It took the image a LOT faster than the Kaiser does, and with no smearing at all. Probably about the best you can expect to get from a cameraphone, to be honest.
It's only slightly let down by not being able to control the compression ration of the resulting jpg files. A RAW file mode would be better.

FloatingFatMan,
That picture does look many times better then any I have ever taken with my Kaiser..
Also, the site below claims to have 32 V900's in stock for sale when we know it's not even released yet?
Do you think it's a scam?
Thanks
http://gadgetboxlimited.shopmania.biz/product.html?c=2616&p=37696

Very probably a scam, yes. I've mailed it to E-Ten just in case.
As for the camera, with the addition of the flash, it's way better than the Kaisers. It's still not perfect, and I've made a few suggestions for changes to the camera application; but it's better that what I get on my Kaiser (especially as mine has a fault and I get those 2 blue horizontal and vertical lines now ).
Once they work a few more kinks out of the review model, it'll be ready for prime time. It's a really nice phone, and remarkably light too, but don't expect it to be as amazing as something like the Omnia is.
I'm working on writing up a full review which I hope to have done soon. I've been pretty sick since getting back from vacation, my tonsils are the size of Polaris missiles right now and I'm running a fever too, but I'll finish it as soon as I can.

Thanks for that.
Can't wait for your review FloatingFatMan.
I'm not a big fan of Omnia and will never buy it. V900 offers features I really want and I also like the foam factor. I nearly brought Gigabyte T600 until this was unvailed.
I hope you get well soon!
P.S. are you in UK?

The camera is impressive I must say, I took this pic today when out riding, and it was taken on a cloudy day under trees in dappled light!
​

WOW! That is impressive!!
Is there any place I can buy the V900 from at all??
This site is selling some but I have a feeling they are doggy, can anyone verify if they are authentic?
http://gadgetboxlimited.shopmania.bi...c=2616&p=37696
Regards!

Yes I have seen that site but it will be a scam, and as previously mentioned the info has been passed onto E-Ten who have confirmed that no V900's have yet been officially released.
I am afraid you will have to wait for it's release in around a month from now.

Thanks boz!
I guess I will have to make do with any reviews and pictures until its released.
btw, unless I am mistaken - Gigabyte t600 (Digital TV phone) it had a function to record from TV, does the V900 have a recording function too?
With your hands on experience so far - what would you say that you are less pleased with about the v900?
Thanks

Well, it has a tendency to grow pretty warm when charging.... That's something they're working on at the moment. The father flimsy battery cover just passes heat like it's not even there.

i see the thing has FM radio with RDS, does it support TMC?
gonna get the phone once it is out, no more missing my shows due to night classes, im gonna watch them in class!

HTC Leo Specs Leaked!?!?

From HTCPedia:
http://htcpedia.com/news/rumor-alert-new-image-of-htc-leo-slider-phone.html
We have a new image that may show that the HTC Leo could turn out to be a slider phone instead of the popular rumor floating around about the return of the clamshell design.

This rumor comes hot off the presses, direct from a PM sent to me through our forum, from HTCPedia member Football. Though the member hasn't posted anything on our forum, they have sent over some specs on the HTC Leo that match what we've heard through the rumor mill.
The photo, however; is in stark contrast to the images we've seen showing the Leo as a clamshell phone. Since we have no other information matching this claim, we can't prove this true or false, so you'll have to be the judge on this one. Below is the message I received from our member:
Hello,
I have got HTC Leo real photo:
That will be nice if you post that at news page
Here also spec:
Snapdragon MSM 8250 1Ghz
Display 4,3" 480*800 capacitance touch-screen
512 ROM and 320 RAM
Camera 8mp with autofocus
Wi-Fi, A-GPS Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, support GSM/EDGE, HSDPA
3,5mm Jack
MicroSD Slot
G-Sensor, motion sensor and light sensor.

I hope those are really the specs because if so its gonna be one hell of a phone.

Please please give us a CDMA version on Sprint!

It sounds awesome if the specs are correct...hopefully we don't have to wait until 2010 or 2011

Even if true, it will be Q4 2010 until its out on at&t in the US.

Just add a hardware keyboard and it´s the ultimate upgrade!
If necessary I can wait till 1st Q 2010 to grab one, even without American continent 3G

Add the Touch Pro 2 keyboard pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase!
I have a strong feeling it will not have any keyboard though and I would still get it. On my HTC Advantage, SPB 4.1 soft keyboard fills the screen and has me hardly carrying my hardware keyboard.

it rumored to be some kinda slider which is possible if u look at the dimensions. wish we can more renderings of it or possibly a pic

in theory WM6.5 has support for capacitive screens. if the actual benefits of capacitive screens are used (multi touch) remain to be seen.
but that is one dam sexy device. basically a HTC version of the TG01 though.

A Slider Phone?? Please no, I hate slider phones (that includes hardware keyboard). Such things aren't necessary nowadays, especially with that 4.3" Screen, putting a good/spacious touch-screen keyboard should be no problem.

I also verily agree with this.

Guys,
Anything bigger than a 3.8" screen and I'm not getting it. This is ridiculous, how big do they want cellphones to be?
Why are we going BACKWARDS with technology? I feel like it's back to the old days of those prehistoric club-phones with a red led screen. It's also already apparent that when resistive screens get too big (TouchHD), the digitizer does not work at equal capacity across the screen.
Cheers.

yea 4.3 is kinda big and its said to have winmo 7 so it wont b out 4 a while but that screen would be great 4 a lot of business things since htcs phone usually are aimed at the ppl in suits

what way does it slide? what kind of keyboard does it have?

from what i googled its a typical slider (not if its left or right).67 thick so its quite big but really powerful. i would imagine its a full qwerty (5 rows at least) and pretty spacious

Hmm... Maybe there will be no more gap (or a very small one) between the screen and edges of the device. Then this monster screen could easily fit into the HD as well

Samsung Intros 5-Inch (!) Galaxy Note Smartphone, 7.7-Inch Galaxy Tab

God it`s even bigger, I have seen the threads on a 4.5" but none on this 5"
Delete thread if old news.

I'm actually quite tempted.
I'm one of those oddballs who doesn't mind large devices, and that being the case its mostly positives from where I'm sitting (obviously will be too large for many to use as their day-to-day phone!).

that 7,7 Tab sure is nice but i just bought a GT10 some weeks ago so i wont be able to afford it
Maybe i can sell my tab and sgs2 and use this lol
Iam wondering how the Phone function will be implemented in the tab

I'm really tempted on the Note but what are its full specs? I already know about the screen but what are the rest?

all i've seen is a couple videos, i believe this is true:
dual 1.4 or 1.5Ghz
5.3 or 5.5 samold (Super HD) screen
stylus (wwoooohooooo !)
8MP rear cam
1.4MP front facing cam
2600Mah battery (wooooohoooooooooo!)
gsm and/or lte
it is a little big for a phone, a little small for a tab... but i think it is going to make some huge waves in the market. possibilities with a size like that are awesome.
things to hope for:
DLNA
hdmi-out
1Gb internal memory
microsd
dual sims
noise cancelling mics
GOOD GPS
awesome antenna
awesome battery life
i'm really looking forward to a long lasting device in STOCK FORM without a huge battery hanging off the back. we'll see if this comes through or not. i will be buying as soon as the early adopters confirm the bugs are minimal and livable. hope !

thanks, now I'm even more tempted now. I can't wait until they release this. Is there an estimated release date yet? I would sell my SGS2 for this.

What I discovered:
5.3 HD Superamoled
1.4 Ghz Exynos
1 Gbyte RAM
LTE and HSDPA
16/32 Gbyte versions
8 Mpixel rear / 2 Mpixel front cam
I am more than tempted. I want one now.

So is it a Super Amoled or Super Amoled plus screen, because I cannot stand pentile sub matrixes?

The 7.7 is Super AMOLED + & the Note is HD Super AMOLED I believe.

The note and it's display is extremely nice, but I don't think I could fit a 5.3" phone into my pockets.

fascinating..

I'd LOVE this. Undoubtedly a late US release. Question is when til Espansys etc will have it?

Seems like this is more of a Tablet than a Phone, which kind of defeats the purpose IMHO (if it's actually released like that)
Linux Insider said:
While the Galaxy Note is an unusual size, it packs a strong set of features. As for whether it leans more toward being a phone or a tablet, it seems to favor tablet.
"I'll call it a tablet because it will not be supported for cellular voice," Chris Hazelton, research director for mobile and wireless at the 451 Group, told TechNewsWorld.
"It does support IP communications such as VoIP and Skype," he said. "It has a very good camera, a great processor, and a great screen. But it's hard not to compare it to Dell's (Nasdaq: DELL) 5-inch tablet, which has not gained much traction in the market."
