HD3 UK release - General Questions and Answers

Hi does anybody know if and when the HD3 will be coming to the Uk,
it's just that I am due for an upgrade next month and I'm getting the HD2,
which will tie me up for another 18 months. I have read speculation of a November release, and if this is true I may as well hold out till then.

Anyone know when the HD5 will be released, while we're at it?

Think your funny eh sunshine.

Q3 this year (juli), a 4,3 inch HTC device will probably be released.
Check this news about it.

I am with you on this one. I also would like to know exactly when it will be released. I am in the US and have SPRINT. So, I know that will mean an even longer wait for me and everyone else who has either SPRINT or VERIZON who are both CDMA. I also would like to know if HTC will release one with a keyboard.

just need a quick answer in regards to raphael

im sorry if this is answered or if this is a stupid, silly question, but im about to hit checkout on a purchase on a htc touch pro. Before doing so i was wondering if there was anyway to get US 3G working on this phone? By means of a flash rom or anything? Thanks in advance and once again sorry!
NOOOO! There isn't a way of getting US 3G to work on the phone! Just wait for AT&T to release it and buy it retail! Trust me! It'll be better and cheaper!

thanks for quicky reply. I have been monitoring fuze thread, and the consensus seems to be nov 4th. If i can get it tuesday from ATT fine, but im tired of waiting, and my e71 is getting boring. Any word on US 3G unlocked touch pro? Would prefer that over branded model due to exclusivity reasons.
The US 3G touch pro will release after the fuze does. AT&T has first dibs on releasing a GSM version of the touch pro. Sprint had dibs on releasing it first in the USA. I would really suggest you wait. I mean on black friday, last year it was 50% off /w new contract or renewal. That is kick ass. $150 for the fuze on black friday. I would definately wait for that.

waiting 22 days to save 150 is kind of worth it, but not really. Especially when your like me and must have your new toy as soon as its available.
And FWIW, negrielectronics, which is known to be a reliable site for unlocked phones, has the fuze listed for pre-release on 11/3/2008. But who knows, maybe they are going by the same info as we are? heres to hoping for the best.

I'm like that too, but personally. Since I can upgrade on Nov 16. I can wait. I mean the $150 I save, I can spend on a case, cradle, speakers, etc.

Advent Vega Weapon of Choice?

The Advent Vega is due to be released in a week or so? What do people think?
For £250 the specs seem exceedingly good, so got to be worth tweaking?

HI, went in and spoke to manager of PC world, he said he has been told he will definately have them to sell on the 18th of Nov. He said that they have added a few last minute features??
I hope they haven't affected the price with the additions.

[Q] so where are the official reviews?

so the sensation is out for a few days, but no official review yet on any site... odd
Apparently HTC hasn't sent out any handsets to reviewers yet which i find a bit odd :\

Why would a device go on sale before it can be sent to reviewers....have they got something to hide or are they trying to maximize sales just in case its a bad review, either way it doesn't give me great confidence.
I remember that the first day the galaxy S II was out, the net was floded with reviews, starting from engadget, techradar and so on... on the sensation case... nada
This is what i'm worried about
I've been waiting for this device since it was leaked as the pyramid all those moons ago.
It's been released and there's barelty a squeek on the internet about it. Only here is where you can get info about it really. Slashgear did a minimum effort with news to follow...but other than that...not really much.
For a company that are producing record profits, you'd have thought that they would spend a load of money on marketing and advertising to increase sales....I went into the vodafone shop on day 2 in Colchester and they said only one person had enquired about it all day (this was 3pm).
Are they saving everything for the Evo 3D?
Have I understood something wrong or is the phone only available from Vodafone at the moment? And isn't that exclusive for them for a couple of weeks or so? Maybe htc haven't sent any to reviewers yet, because the phone is not officially available until 27th of june?
The first review is online now:
http://www.slashgear.com/htc-sensation-review-23153699/
Ooops, made a new thread when i found that review.
My bad. Sorry.
I see your point about it not being officially launched.
However, why do you say June 28th is the official date? It's widely rumored to launch on T-mobile US on June 8th. Is T-mobile also getting some advance?

Pretty generic quickie review there. That recorded video is still awful looking, and falls in line with the other video captures floating around youtube. They seem to be giving it a pass, along with the "stereo sound". Their idea of a battery test is also as unconvincing as ever. Instead of running benchmarks in their videos, they should actually show the browser performance between the two, because that is really the only thing that will stand out the most. Ugh, I expect as much from slashgear.
I picked that date from some website and don't remember which one it was. But it will be released earlier than June 28th. I know that because my operator here in Finland is expecting it to be available around weeks 23-24. They are usually at least a week behind of the other operators here, so the T-Mobile launch for June 8th might be quite accurate.

Yea, it's going to be on T-Mobile June 8th. Once there you'll see plenty of reviews.
Argh!! I was hoping for official reviews so I could get this on launch day... (June 8th) guess I will have to wait another week or so.

You still have some time and it's quite likely that GSMArena will review it by then (I said likely, not definite).
There are still 2 weeks before the 8th after all

Sites like CNet might have something (short) the day before US launch. But that may be about it.

AT&T Release Date???

Does anyone know when the HTC One X will be released for AT&T? Are the rumors for the chip production delay true??
Edit: May 6th is the confirmed date.
28nm high power processes are definitely down. The low power process may not be, we're not sure.
I thought AT&T is getting One X not XL...
I thought they were all the same phones anyway. Aside from the chip and the Storage.
I think we're expecting a summer release, not april.

Didn't HTC originally announce that this phone would be on sale within 60 days (from when they announced it) ?
Just to help clear up any confusion for anyone who didn't know this already,
The One X is the quad core version. The quad core processor is incompatible with LTE (being released as an ATT exclusive means that att will likely only carry the XL)
The One XL has the dual core because the dual core processor IS compatible with LTE . Also, from what I've heard, the dual core might actually be a better processor than the quad core anyway.
I think you guys already knew most of that though
@shorty
yes, you are correct. The projected window is within 60 days of announcement.
The phone has already passed through FCC, it's on it's way.
cant decide is i should switch to att. sprint 3g service is eh, sad that sprints lte rollout doesnt include los angeles ;(...... decisions decisions
I am really hoping a release date is announced soon. I went out and got a skyrocket under upgrade and now I want to return it (within my 30 days) so that I can pick up this phone. It all depends on the release date though. If it ends up being summer then I'm not gonna wait that long.
A general estimate is about late April to early May for the release.
My guess is since the rest of the word starts to sell these on April 5th and Sprint/HTC is holding an even April 4th... we will hear about a release in the next week or two about when AT&T will release it.
april 12th http://www.releasedates.co/product/htc-edge-release-date
I'd take that sites info with a grain of salt most definitely. I don't see it being legit. I hope so though.
It's definitely not legit. Look at how much storage it says it has. 32GB? Now, we know the AT&T version will only have 16GB of storage.

You're right. It will have only 16GB, like the Rogers unit, which is what I'm waiting for. No announcement yet, and I'm checking every day.

Other than that there's no way in God's name that I'm waiting until freaking May for a phone. Galaxy S II Skyrocket HD should be out by then and I'd pick that up before that.

The rumor I read somewhere on one of the tech blogs, that the expected release on AT&T was between mid April and mid May.

The way I see it, be a release date not announced by mid-April, we're going to have a problem.

Idunno though, phones are out usually a month or so after being approved by the FCC, and our XL has been approved for awhile now, since beginning of march

Tmobile USA MAO yes or no?

Can anyone confirm if Tmobile USA will or will not get the MAO (Micro Arc Oxidation) edition or not cause I have gotten to sources about it getting and not getting.
According to engadget.com "For better or for worse, HTC's black, plasma-heated micro arc oxidation (MOA) finish with red accents isn't making it to T-Mobile."
and according to androidauthority.com "There’s apparently more twist to the story. The HTC One S variant that T-Mobile will ship on April 25 is the blue-ish variant of the phone, with the black & red one to be made available in June. The casing on the former won’t have the same Thor-inspired micro-arc oxidation treatment as the latter, which is a bit of a bummer."
Cause if tmoible is not coming out with MAO edition then I'll upgrade my phone next week. But if they are then I'll wait til June to get it.
Thank you
MAO Black/red version is not going to debut in April with the gradient blue version.
So for now, no , in June maybe but its odd why one color would be released 2 months later than the first one.
I'm hesitating about should i get the grey or take the chance of a 50 50 MAO in June. I"m getting really sick and tire of my HTC Desire right now. So I want to be absolutely positive if MAO is coming out in June or not so I can commit and wait it out the best I can.
I'm going for the gradient blue version, you are right in that there is no guarantee a black/red one will even come out for T-Mobile.
Personally I like the color of the gray/blue version and after hearing all the chipping reports, it confirmed my choice to get the gradient blue at the release. I guess it would be best to wait for the 7PM HTC One S reveal gathering in NYC to end first to see if they give any indications of releasing a different color at a later date.
Waiting until July only to find out that T Mobile is still carrying the gradient blue one only hurts..
I personally like black and red color that's why I want to commit to the MAO edition over the gradient blue.

If they don't announce it tonight I'm not waiting...
If anybody is watching that thing can you announce the verdict if they are going to have MAO or not here. I would really much appreciate it. Thank You

If you think 6 months is long, I've been with my desire for 2 years. I think it's time for him to retire as my backup.

It's weird, I can't find coverage of this event anywhere...
Anyway, I'm guessing not otherwise someone would have mentioned it. Plus T-Mobile's official page doesn't mention anything about the black version.

Yes T-Mobile USA will be releasing the black one aka micro arc oxidation in June, the reason was delayed was due to the chipping issues.

I also work for T-mo and have heard from MULTIPL HTC reps that we will be getting black/red in June. They said it was because they found a problem with finishing process for the black/red. Same reps told me they knew about the chipping problem before T-mo OR HTC was telling customers it was a known issue..

HTC NEVER said to customers that this was a known issue. At least not in the UK. All they are still saying is that the issues are not related to a batch but perhaps only a few handsets and we should replace our phones through the retailers to get it faster.
No HTC official has accepted OR verified that there is an upcoming 'better' batch.
So if some reps already knew they were problems and now also know that HTC supposedly is fixing it, I feel HTC should replace all the phones they have already sold. Otherwise this is a plain cover-up with the current owners being the fools of the situation
