Very nice phone...WinMo is starting to look better..but still not a fan of the Honeycomb effect...it messes with my vision...
Kind of looks like the HTC Hero w/o the Chin and of course with WinMo instead of AndroidOS

Looks good Bro...like the bigger CPU!

love that this is just another phone from htc with no 850/1900 (AT&T) umts

The current run of the rumor mill is that the Leo is what was originally believed to be the Firestone. I'd love some 1GHz Snapdragon + capacitive touch screen goodness.

coming to a US carrier in Q4 of 2010!

Q4 in 2010, hopefully you meant 2009. I've been waiting patiently in Canada for the TP2 but this one has me thinking I might wait but not until Q4 2010.

it was a joke about how incredibly slow US carriers are to pick up new phones.

and for us USA customers I'm sure we'll get screwed out of the front facing camera - and then of course some of the carriers will disable all the good things, like FM radio if it has one or maybe the GPS...

great HTC back to their tricks of putting out models with only like a 1Mhz improvements over their predecessors'
How many times are they going to release the same phone lol

as many times as it takes for us to demand better. This web site seems to be the only reason to buy an HTC phone lately huh.

+1 for that!!!

I've been hearing many variations in this.
Some sites say its a 600 mhz, and others say its a 1ghz cpu.
anyone have any ideas? also, there's a disgreement in the camera: some say its 5 mp, others say it is 8mp. Not too worried about the camera, but the CPU is what I'm wondering about.
If it's only 600 mhz, I'm probably not gonna buy this. I mean, from 528 to 600, that's barely a jump or improvement!

^your right, that small a cpu jump is not worth it. But, I have not seen the final specs yet...

this thing only has a 200mhz processor? thats going to be super slow isnt it?? I think I might have to get the samsung i730 to replace my magician . I am not to happy with the speed of my jam at 415mhz so I dont think I will be able to deal with something twice as slow. I would love to hear others opionions about this. Does the OMAP processor work difirently than the Xscale so the actual user speed may be close to the same??? does anybody know?
On that Windows Mobile site, they said it's alot faster and better than the Magician. So I guess those processors (or a combination of factors) work differently.
I still can't over the fact that they went for mini-sd. I'm dying for my JAM to go 4GB and this thing is going to be limited by the mini-sd form. That sux.
dude but under 200 mhz processor just doenst do it for me

Galaxy S 2 Carrier Names...?

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/16/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-us-carrier-names-revealed-atandt-attain-veri/
So not only do they have lame names, but SGS2 isn't releasing on T-Mobile, at least not now(but I hope it will eventually :/)
Ya, those names make me want to import an SGS2.
Yes I agree how can we "Function" "Within" T mobile when we cannot "Attain" the Galaxy S2............. this sucks............. and so does my pun......
Why dont they just leave Galaxy S2?
History repeats itself... just like the original Galaxy S naming scheme but this time more terrible.
Maybe Samsung is trying to ATTAIN more respect by imroving how they FUNCTION WITHIN? Maybe an ETA on May 24th?????
Also, T-Mo's absence an indicator of ETA and merger/buyout?

Wasn't a bad pun.
Yeah I do agree though, this sucks...lame ass names and no HSPA+ for T-Mobile.
So i wonder if this will be a better buy than the Evo 3d for sprint users now. May have to change phones again.
These are funny names.
Just like everything else, they're running out of names. Samsung basically uses the same name for most if not all of their Android devices. Galaxy, and then just add a couple of words at the end of it. The next Galaxy is probably going to be called the Samsung Galaxy Burger.
cant wait for the Verizon Function
Spirit Within?

It made my laugh. I agree. The names are awful.
I really couldn't care less about the names ... I really want the VZW one to be LTE capable.
retarded names for sure. but tmobile will be ok, getting the gs2's bigger brother. from tmonews:
The boys over at Thisismynext.com are running quite the scoop with codename “Samsung Hercules.” With a possible arrival date of August this one has some time to mature but the Thisismynext crew has quite the spec breakdown:
4.5″ 480 x 800 Super AMOLED Plus display
Android 2.3
NFC Support
42Mbps HSPA+ capable (category 24 HSDPA and category 6 HSUPA)
AWS plus 850/1900 MHz…they claim support for AT&T’s 4G will be here if the merger succeeds which interesting considering this phone is scheduled for August and the deal won’t close till next year?
Preliminary measurements of 5.16 x 2.76 x 0.37 inches, resembles the AT&T Infuse 4G
16GB internal ROM, 1GB internal RAM, expandable microSD memory up to 32GB
Qualcomm 1.2GHz dual-core APQ8060 processor??
8 megapixel camera with 1080p video capture and front facing camera for video chat
Micro USB transfer for HDMI
These are certainly some impressive specs and if they come to fruition will make for quite the beastly phone. This might be why Thisismynext claims this phone is tagged for the “over $350″ price category. Let’s see how this one develops.

Wow, brand new phone, and some nitwit broke the screen?!?!
I dont know if its broken ?!
Maybe that you can´t see everything?!?
Edit: Look last picture, bootloader says: S-OFF !? Hopefully they sell it with S-OFF !!
Edit: Yes its broken...
It says S=off because it was a prototype found on the street so it also contains the engineering bootloader. They will not ship s=off.
hmm thought about a fake?
Amazing!

And hopefully it comes to europe/germany!!

Screen is too big,the Galaxy S2 is perfect size anything bigger is not for me, have trouble fitting it in your pocket

I really want a 4.5 inch screen, that looks super, but I'm locked in to Verizon with the unlimited data grandfather.

Everyone is anxiously waiting to get the official CynogenMod 9 support for their device to enjoy the taste of vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich.
This Chart will help you calculate the possibility of getting a CM9 update for your device.
So Will you see CynogenMod 9 on your device...???? Let's hear it from the comments....
Thanks for the chart. According to that, we have a 50% chance of getting official CM9. Not exactly the odds we were hoping for.
****ty odds.

It is, although I have a feeling the CM team is being conservative with their likelihood estimates so they won't hype expectations. Even if your device is getting an official ICS update from your manufacturer, they only give you a 75% chance. I can't image CM9 not coming to your device in that situation, so I bet the chances are actually a lot more than 75% for them, and therefore probably more than 50% chance for us (especially with the DHD getting official ICS).
"Does it have dedicated GPU" is the point that ruins the whole chart to me.
Did you ever see a PC powering up and showing something on the screen without any kind of GPU? And where was the screen connected to at that point?
The same applies for phones. Each SoC has its own GPU, good or bad, and such an item in the table makes it more of a joke.

I didn't understand that either. Even the lowly G1 had a dedicated GPU of some kind.

Specs and Developer ordering info direct from manufacturer
Time to get in on the ground floor!
So what will you do?
Withe the changes to Android L, would you still consider a device such as this?
Looks like an interesting device, but the website mentions it will only be sold to approved companies. Not too much of an issue because I think the Z4 will have pretty much these exact specs. I think that will be the first big brand device with an 810? Rumours say it will be announced early January and available in March.

I'm mostly basing that on this leak: http://www.androidorigin.com/sony-xperia-z4-specs-leak-4gb-ram-z3x-exmor-exclusive/
810, 2560x1440 screen, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of storage. Not sure on the huge array of sensors but I suppose it will sport most of what the Qualcomm phone does.
Found this little ditty
The first Snapdragon 810 smartphones should make a first appearance during CES 2015, coming from some of the most important manufacturers. To be more specific, the LG G4, HTC One M9 or Samsung Galaxy S6 could use it, the latter being less likely, as Samsung seems to be preferring their home-mad Exynos.

If LG doesnt lock the bootloader again this will be a killer device and i would buy one most definitely.
If they do lock it, another paperweight for many of us
