Most beautiful handset on your opinion?

Hello guys!At first I thought about making a poll about which you think is the most beautiful handset around here,but I realised that with the variety of devices available it would take half my life to make a poll like it!So you can post freely and say your opinion!
I want to ask of you to stay on topic if possible.This is not a thread meant to find out which has the best performance or anything else,nor for people to argue about.It's just for people's opinions to be heard.
As OP,I am posting my preference first!
Well,I think that the most beautiful device I've seen is the Diamond(the original,not Topaz).It seems like a tiny piece of modern art,like it's built to be beautiful.And it supports the saying "Diamonds are forever"!
So what's your favourite guys?

I am referring to existing phones,not concepts.If that was a real phone my friend I would be a happier man right now!

HD2
I love it cause its super slim, and has a nice quality feel to it.

The HD2 is hands down the most beautiful phone (other than the iphone I would have to add). Good size, beautiful huge screen, even the battery cover is brushed metal. Too bad they locked it to TMobile as I am with Sprint. The Evo 4g is "related" to the HD2 but is bigger in every dimension and the back is not as nice and doesn't feel as durable as the HD2.

then Leo and Rhodium!

Yeap HD2.. is by far the best looking I reckon.. nice and slick..
shame desire is so ugly..

Yeah,the Leo would be my second preference.It's a very nice looking phone,well designed and balanced despite the large screen.I own a Desire btw and,although it is a little ugly-butt,I kinda like it!
Also keep in mind that it doesn't have to be HTC.You can choose any device you like!

I disagree, I think the Evo looks superior to the HD2. The hard buttons on the bottom of the HD's interface really break up the overall look and layout of the phone, for me.
The Evo, to this point, is the best looking phone in the USA, in my opinion.

Sony Ericsson P1i, prob fave phone i ever had still use it as my second line now

Desire ugly? The Desire is beautiful!
Then again, I got a silver one. I didn't like the brown one.

Photos of HTC Pyramid leaked

The photos of the heavily-rumored HTC Pyramid are beginning to surface, and they look beautiful!
http://androidcommunity.com/htc-pyramid-detailed-as-honeycomb-phone-20110315/#
MODS: I know that this is technically not the right section to post this, but a lot of MT4G users have been talking about this phone as the logical successor to the MT4G and will be interested to see these photos.

Phone looks badass!

It sure does! It reminds me of the best design elements of Nexus One and Desire HD.
The thing that threw me off is the fact that the leaked description mentioned a 1.2 gHz processor, but nothing about a dual core. Also, Honeycomb on a phone? Hmmmm.....

that looks really nice but it also kinda makes me mad to see our phone will be outdated within a few months...maybe i will craigslist my current one? (probably not but i will if development stops....
NOTE TO OP: how about a poll on who is switching?

Forget LGX2 I'm definitely waiting for this ..

Am I the only one around here that would rather have a slightly smaller screen? Looks like they've done everything they can to make the bezel as small as possible to make the overall phone smaller, but a 4" screen is a 4" screen.

I would've rathered physical keys at the bottom. If the black area on the back is rubber, I can see it attracting a lot of lint, but if its something like the back of the mt4g, then thats great. I hope the camera lense is more inverted tho, this way when I place the phone down the lense don't get scuffed. I also hope the back corners arent that rounded like the ipod touch, I don't mind the curves on the side corners but keep the back staight and not slanted in to the corners.
Just my .02

I am so switching over. I can not wait. I have another upgrade waiting so I'll use that and get the Pyramid. I can NOT wait! I hope it comes out within 2 months. I am really getting bored of the myTouch and hate the design of it.

Sexyyy, the back that is lol (dont even know if thats funny but it sounds weird when i say it so...)
The front is kinda plain but more ugly. guess they couldnt really do much with it. Think im sticking with my MT4G. in no real need to "upgrade". i more just like the big screen and camera. honeycomb is ehh right now but it might change. I probably need more reasons to change. either way still pretty happy with my MT

Looks pretty slick, but can't really tell till I can feel it in the hands.

Ill probably make the switch, kinda bored with the mytouch. May trade for the g2 , or hold off for the pyramid.

The poll is up!
I don't think that the MT4G will be outdated when the Pyramid is released. Unless app devs begin developing exclusively for phones whose specs are better than those of the MT4G, it'll stick around for a while.

I hope not neither but still the development for this phone is still slow. About to go on to a Windows 7 phone, been playing with one at Bestbuy and it looks pretty smooth and nice.

I'm definitely getting this bad boy if it comes to tmo

This thing is ugly, I do not like the look of this silver-brown mashup... And the "photos" pretty much look like photoshopped..

I think this is where I will draw the line with my Nexus S

Think the only thing that would stop me from getting this is if that 4.3 made it bigger over all then my mytouch and if it's not going to be on t mobile.

I thought it was supposed to have a dual-core cpu?

Don't expect HTC to come out with dual core. By years end quad core will be out. HTC should most likely go for that. Some article I read in the sense gingerbread leak they found traces of the omap processor which is most likely the omap5 which pretty much is beast compared to the a5.

Why do they keep saying Honeycomb? Honeycomb + Gingerbread = IceCream, Duh...
Google even said so.
But I think I'll wait for IceCream to hit my Glacier.

[INFO] HTC Sensation Reviews and Hands-on Videos.

I am creating this thread as a portal for all future articles about the Sensation to be posted to and discussed. Hopefully it won't be too long before many review units are about with the release date on Vodafone UK being "May".
This is the first post launch day hands-on I have found. It comes from the HTC Roadshow which has been in various locations around the UK (hence roadshow).
Hope you enjoy.

Generally favourable review, with praise for the screen, although it isn't as bright or colour popping as oled. Some good pictures and insight into the predictably great buildd quality
Fingers crossed the nonrootable bootloaders will be cracked by the time this appears.

Hardware tour from HTCinside.de
Pretty thin finally
Tricolor back is a lack of taste, they should have gone with a bicolor one as protoypes were
Black level on the screen are nothing impressive

Tricolor back?!?!!?! Nooo HTC, don't go all mytouch 4G on us again!!!!!

pretty sure many colour options will be available for different exclusives for each network, fingers crossed.
everyone is complaining about the same design as the rest of the htc brood, but for me struggling along with a htc hero, i cant wait to get hold of one. wish they would do a thinness comparison with comparable smartphones, iphone4, sgs2 and a desire1/s maybe. but coming from a 15mm (!!!!!) hero, which features bevelled edges, the curved 11mm figure of this should be awesome.
anyone seen a video where sense homescreens can be customised for number of rows, seems perfect screen size for a 5x4 layout.

Sensation can record in Stereo

Another basic tour video this time from cnet.de. However the date on the phone says Mai 5 so it pretty likely the latest version of the Sense 3.0 running on the phone. You can see the UI performance and response midway into the video.
Apparently I can't post external links so go to cnet.de and look for the hands on video with the HTC Sensation. Someone please post the link please.

cnet.de /videos/tests/41552643/hands_on_video_blick_auf_das_htc_sensation_mit_dual_core_snapdragon.htm
The article was dated May 5 so I thought they shot the video recently. The UI looks like it runs pretty smoothly. Thoughts?

You're right, the phone does have May 5th as the date. My thoughts? I want this phone now!

The UI is looking much more smoother on this latest vid I agree , particularly the appdrawer is more fluid than ever
But it looks like they will keep the Tricolor back cover for the final unit :O really bad idea I can't understand that move it makes it look so less appealing than a bicolor one :/

I agree, tricolor back is ugly :-!

[Q] Encapsulating case for Sensation?

Having had an Otterbox Defender for my old iPhone, I am hooked on the idea of getting a similar set up for my Sensation - especially since the case saved my phone from liquid damage a number of times!
Turns out no-one does one (as far as I can tell, anyway). Worse still, is that Otterbox apparently have no intention of doing one either! Take a look at this half-baked reply I got from Otterbox cust servs...
"Mike,
I love to hear how much of a fan you are of our products! Unfortunately we won’t be making a defender for the Sensation. We only offer the commuter case for that phone. I don’t have an exact reason why we will not be making one. If you have any other questions please let me know."
I'm guessing it might have something to do with the slight slope at the side of the glass??? Emphasis on the word guessing there! Either way, that was very bad news.
I've read all the reviews of the tougher cases on here which are all very useful, but just in case I've missed something, does anyone know of any defender-esque, fully encapsulating case for the Sensation? Or failing that, does anyone know if there might be one coming out soon?
Thanks loads,

20 Crazy Concept Phones

Only concept phones but it is crazy.
My prefered is the window phone.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/195965/20_crazy_concept_phones.html

The Projector/Printer phone was my favorite. I have to say that I did not realize that so many companies were working on flexible devices. Samsung was the only one I knew of with something viable and worthwhile coming to the market soon.

The thris is very crazy
but i like the 15th :fingers-crossed:

Concept phones are like concept cars, they look so futuristic until they come out (if they do) and then they just look like every other car/phone and not like the futuristic concept.

I could actually see the wrist phone selling, not crazy numbers but it would probably sell.

"That's One Glassy Phone"... just myself who would purchase one if it ever came into production?

None of those wrist phones were sleek though. With all the smartphone-linked watches that are already out I think those inventors have missed the boat.

That’s One Glassy Phone is really cool!!

I like the transforming phone. But that's just because it would be awesome to have a real life transformer. Most of those devices are so completely impractical.

I didn't like them, I prefer my HOX

Well, concepts, sure, but where-da-faq-is-the-battery?

lol very funny.:good:

I dream of this
http://wpnow.net/2012/08/07/nokia-8-an-elegant-windows-phone-8/

The window phone screams futuristic yet practical to me.

looks good, I'll buy one.

Beautiful design, but it's a WP. After seeing all the possibilities that Android offers I could never go to such a locked-down interface. Nokia has shot itself in the foot soooo hard by only backing Windows devices. They would sell the crap out of that thing if it came with Android.
