I would say definitely no to the front facing camera. This is the same as the Desire HD and it does not have the FFC.
I love this phone with the exception of no ffc, no kickstand and a crappy battery. I wish we could get the HTC thunderbolt/mecha/incredible hd whatever it's going to be called in Canada. Perhaps I'll look at the Moto Atrix when it comes to Bell or this phone. One of them will likely be my next phone.

Been waiting, patiently (fabrication), for the Desire Hd to hit. This is certainly the exact same phone with a north american name. Now all we need is a release date....

no FFC, no problem (for me). i will be getting this when it drops

Too freaking big.
Plus, the Atrix > Inspire.

Thats just your opinion though. its not that big when you actually see it.

The battery worries me.

I really like it!

Any phone in 2011 with a screen that big, a 4G radio, and a 1230 mAh battery is a waste, IMO.
HTC needs to stop recycling phones and come out with something worth paying for.
They're single-handedly making a mockery out of Android when it comes to battery life.
Impatiently awaiting the ATRIX 4G as well. 1930 Battery and the other features... It is the phone I've always dreamed of.

Only 5mpx camera?
No HTC?
.......

Don't see the need for a camera above 5 MP. Can you give me an example of an advantage other than "bigger pictures?" (I have an 8.1 MP point and shooter).
Don't care what manufacturer or skin the phone runs as long as it works and gets decent support - which Moto typically gives to their flagships.
HTC can be as great as they want, but if they expect me to pay that price for a big phone with an HD2-level battery, they're on crack (had 2 HD2's here, I know what it's like ). All of their phones with that battery size suffer from poor battery life (HD2, Evo, HD7, etc.). The phone can be awesome, but when I'm struggling to get through 2/3 of the day it's useless. Plus, HTC has a habbit of putting rather poor screens in their 4.3" phones (Glary as hell, washed out colors, and the worst viewing angles imaginable).
The Moto has several advantages over the HTC, not to mention Motorola is building much better Exchange support into their phones, among other things...
Dockability, Screen Resolution (960*540), Battery (1930), Screen type, RAM (1G), Storage (16G internal + 32G SD), better CODEC and DRM support...
It's going to be a first-class workhorse.
This is a poor 2011 debut for HTC, IMO.
I only wish the Atrix had real buttons instead of Capacitive, like the Droid X.

I've seen videos and it's too big. 4" screen is as big as I want to go. Some people might like monsters I guess but I certainly don't.
The battery and many other things kills the HTC. This is 2011, they need to get with the program.
Atrix is out this quarter and for a better phone most people can wait a couple months.

Not sure where the 5MP camera thing comes from, ATT lists on their site that it's 8MP, same as the desire HD.
Sans battery life, I'm excited for this phone, especially since it means I can finally tell my iPhone to gtfo.
It's been a while since I've been on here, probably at least 2 years, miss you guys.
My hope is that because of the potential popularity in the US, we'll be able to get more (and bigger) batteries released.
If not, I may have to just wait my contract out and jump ship for the Thunderbolt.

Same here, I love this phone.... or at least the concept of this phone, anyway.

The Inspire does not have a front facing camera. I would love to have a GSM version of the EVO but on AT&T. The MyTouch4g on T-Mobile is the only phone on the GSM market comparable to the EVO.

as I said earlier - all good phones go around T-Mobile. Which is sucks for me

Well, this is in theory an upgrade. I do agree though, I'd really like to have the kickstand as well as a door that came completely off, so as to allow for easier battery upgrades.
Wish AT&T was getting the Thunderbolt. It's the best of both worlds, Evo build with updated specs.
If my contract was over sooner, I'd buy a Thunderbolt on the Verizon LTE network. Not that I need LTE, but I'd like the kick stand and battery options. I also wouldn't mind toying with the FFC, though that's not a necessity.

If you really want a kickstand, I'm pretty sure that there will be a case with one built in. I saw some kid using an iPod touch with a green case that had a kickstand in it.

The Phone in My Dream! Which phone is this?

Hello folks,
Here is the phone that I want:
- super-resistant high quality body like HTC devices
- super-amoled 4.0" screen like Samsung devices. Not 3.8" or 4.3"
- super-quality camera like iPhone 4 (not much important)
and it must be an Android device of course ^^
Is there a phone matches with these?

Galaxy S matches.

I think it is the closest one, BUT;
Galaxy S's body is not really qualified like HTC devices.
It also does not have a camera-flash! A really important missing feature.
The other thing that I hate with Galaxy S is that, its look is too much iphoneish.
Look at that :

real men use 4.3"

LOL I hope anyone is not looking in to Samsung device I mean looking at the history of how they have tendency of dropping user base by not providing any type of support, who would pick them? Have you checked their latest fiasco of Vibrant vs Vibrant 4G? LOL so much for that epic new device...
BTW souljaboy I had HD2 months before it came out in USA so I know the whole 4.3" thing but ATM the hardware I want is only in MT4G as its the flagship of HTC and second is DHD which has 4.3" display but lacks 4G much less 3G support in USA but still gets owned by MT4G natively.

I've been using HD2 for 6 months and I'm a bit bored with 4.3" screen.
4.0" is enough and it's gorgeous with super-amoled.
I was also not happy with HD2's CPU. I need a new generation Snapdragon or a Hummingbird CPU.
So I bought Nexus S a few days ago, but its screen is scratched easily because lack of gorilla glass :/
Anyway, it's better to wait for Galaxy S2! Samsung will announce it on February 13.

It's not 4" and super-amoled, also its processor is just .. worthless.
Desire and Nexus One are even better than motorola defy.

I agree, wait for the next round. If nothing tickles your fancy, at least there will be a price drop in older models.

Tegra chipsets are just around the corner.. 2Ghz anyone?

Who Do You Think the next Nexus Will Go to?

Early last year, HTC got it, and Samsung got it late last year. So who will get this years? I think Motorola personally because there one of the 3 largest Android phone producers besides HTC and Samsung. It was rumored last year that Motorola would be making the "Nexus 2"

But obviously turned out untrue. Google will probably give all its major manufacturers the chance.
Opinions?

Very much open still.
Hoping to see a well built device this time with at least a 4.3" display. I'll probably standby for the new Nexus about during the year's end.

May I ask what is that you like about Samsung's hardware? What are your reasons?
Personally, I very much prefer have HTC make it.

Aaaaaaa.... no. We are speaking about a phone, not a tablet. You want to hold up a 5" in your face ? I don't think so...
It should be a 4" or below. Personally, I think NS has almost the perfect ratio for the screen size, not too big to hold in your hands, not too small for your fingers to glide.
Also, Motorola ? Really ? Damn, I sure hope not. They suck, as well as LG and Sony. Crappy handsets. HTC is the prime factor in build quality. Samsung takes up no. 2. And that's about it. And because everyone would love a SAMOLED+ display on the new Nexus, then I guess Samsung is the way to go (again). I wouldn't mind it, its current build quality is not very bad (but not as good as HTC's).

I disagree. The build quality of my Nexus S is far superior to that of my HTC Evo.
But I do agree completely that 4 inches is the absolute max screen size.

You beat me to it!
There was the rumor going around about an LG Nexus tablet, but maybe they'll manufacture the next Nexus phone instead. Crazier things have happened.

Whoever gets it, I hope they bring back the contour surface. I think thats what makes nexus s look so unique.

It would be nice if they did a joint venture of HTC and Samsung. I love HTC construction, nice alluminum unibody, and the qHD Display looks pretty good too. Though the SAMOLED+ isn't a slouch neither. But I am would love to have the dual-core Exynos CPU not to mention Samsung flash mem and cameras. I'm sure however it shakes out it will be yet another awsome phone.
If I had my choice and had to choose one manufacturer I'd have to say HTC. quality is just so much better. If feels like a highend phone when you hold it. The Nexus S doesn't. With that being said I doubt Google would go back to HTC or Samsung. Who I think is going to be next is Motorola. Especially if LG is going to do the Tablet. Only makes sense. But who knows maybe they'll get RIM to do it. RIM is doing a lot of Android stuff with there phones and software. Maybe its the natural progress. Though it would be very very weird.

Maybe Apple might ditch their dumb IOS and join hands with Google and Make iNexus

I owned a lot of HTC devices before. While I do agree that the phone feels right in the hand, I have to say that nearly all of them had to go to service once. The only exception was the HTC diamond. The n1 with the faulty power button, the desire twice with faulty motherboard. The screen on my ex DHD was way washed out. I do think that slowly, HTC is getting out of the competition. One with the outdated hardware (except for the sensation) e.g thunderbolt, desire s, incredible s... and then with the locking of the bootloader.

I think Samsung hardware is far eclipsing the thought of HTC having better hardware. Samsung's fault is their SW update track record, but their hardware is top-notch. Can anyone say they haven't had a problem with an HTC device? From flaky touchscreen response on the Nexus One, to terrible speakers and battery life of my Desire, Inspire, Desire Z, and everyone's Thunderbolts, can we really compare these devices to Samsung's SAMOLED+ and better-than-average speakers?
Here's what people should be saying:
"I like the aluminum bodies that HTC phones have."

Should be Nexus X(peria)
from Sony. ..

I think LG will be the next one to get it and it might have a dual core processor.

I agree. All my HTC phones have had bad build quality. I think all people consider with "build quality" is the materials on the outside when it also should consist of do these materials actually function or last? So many bad build quality reports from HTC. Glass coming off the EVO, Nexus Ones bad touchscreen & power button, bad battery life, bad screens in the MT4G, etc.
I preferred my Nexus S's build quality to my Nexus One any day.
But, of all the manufacturers, Motorola has been my favorite. All of them have been so solid and sturdy in hand. Never any build quality problems and their quite rugged (some). I have no experience with Sony, but my LG Incite had horrible build quality (creaky, but so easy to take apart. Just like taking a hard case off a phone basically ). Samsung is so-so. My Nexus S was excellent, my Captivate was not. The Captivate just doesn't feel right to me. Not sure why there is so much hate for Motorola (I suppose the locked bootloader? And all the accusations of Blur when people haven't tried it/ used it since the 1.5 phones) and so much love for HTC when they have so many problems.

as you can see from the enormous line, the phone is total win.
this was taken 10 minutes before they opened.
p.s. that lady just wanted a new battery for her phone and was upset that the store was still closed.

oh man.....

Heh this makes me laugh. I was pissed this morning when I had to head down to the VZW store to get a battery for a work colleague. I was expecting to have to wait forever. They had all these roped off areas with red carpet laid down and not one person standing in line.

I think with the upcoming Rezound and Galaxy Nexus, most people will wait to compare all three before making a decision. I know I will.

we've already compared y0.
No one in their right mind is getting the RAZR, so it just comes down to the other 2.
And it's not that the Nexus is better then the Rezound(or vice versa)... just moreso which one is more suited to the individual's needs/tastes.

I'm sorry that I don't get this Moto bashing. Sure the first gen Razrs were well, not all that great, but they did their jobs well. Hey they were the most phones sold worldwide.
Either way, the new one looks pretty decent, what's the bad about it? The specs were not all that bad, from what I saw, so why the hate?

the screen is horrible compared to the rezound and galaxy nexus. Non-removable battery is another potential problem. The phone is very wide and doesn't feel comfortable in the hand at all.
Just came back from best buy looking to play with the rezound, razr and kindle fire.
1. Razr battery was dead, was locked up in a cabinet instead of on display. Got to hold it but wouldn't stay on.
2. Only 1 Rezound in stock and none on display, asked why, they said they haven't really set up for it.
3. Fire hadn't even arrived yet to be put on display.

heh.. the Best Buy Mobile in the mall here had 'dummy' RAZR & Rezound phones on display. They said they have Rezounds in stock, but have yet to receive any RAZR's.

reminds me of when the hd7 launched on t-mobile. Had to go to 3 stores to find one that even had a demo unit. None of them had set up for it on launch day. Sad that carriers don't get it. If you advertise the phone, it will sell.

Yeah I don't particularly care for the RAZR (or any Motorola products). That being said, I got to play with the RAZR and it was okay. The screen sounds bad on paper, but in person, its not the end of the world. Screen was passable, still totally usable. My store actually sold just 1 RAZR, but it was a more of a swap than a return. Haha.
But then I got to play with the Galaxy Nexus and that screen was muchhhh nicer. ICS was all flashy, and to be quite honest, a bit confusing, but I guess that's expected since a lot has changed.
Also played with the Rezound and I very much liked that phone. Screen was also beautiful, and still quality HTC build materials.

The first T-Mobile store that I went to had a live demo sitting behind the counter. I got to play with it while they activated my HD7. This was a week before the actual release day too. But yes, I agree, having phones out helps to sell them.

I entered the 11/11/11 sweepstakes on Verizon's Twitter and i won a free Droid Razr, nice! I will be giving it to my wife maybe of she performs ( insert lude sex act here ) for a ( insert a crazy lenght of time here ) I wish it came a few days back I mean come on I just bought her a phone off ebay for 100 bucks.

Galaxy S4 Active : First Look

The Samsung I9295 Galaxy S4 Active has been in our rumor mill for quite some time. The latest leaked shots reveal that the Active will be a tougher dust and water resistant version of the Galaxy S4 flagship.
The specs are expected to be the same and the live pictures below confirm it - the device is running on a quad-core 1.9GHz processor with Adreno 320 GPU, which most definitely means a Snapdragon 600 chipset. The screen is a 5" 1080p Super AMOLED unit, the same as the one on the original Galaxy S4. There is still no info on the camera, but we expect it to be the same 13MP as on the Galaxy S4.
Despite the similar specs, the Galaxy S4 Active looks nothing like the original. It comes in a metallic shell with bolts on the back, and there are also three hardware buttons below the screen.
There is no official info on the Galaxy S4 Active yet, but as it turns out the handset has been showcased recently in Croatia, so an announcement is imminent.

What's the point of this phone ?
Also, I thought Activ = always meant Windows Phone ?

Looks nice but I like more the clean design of the S4.
This is will probably shut all the people saying cheap plastic about the S4
Also, it looks like it has a 8MP sensor and not 13MP like the S4.
Only dual core seems not very good, but @1.9GHz should be better

wow, looks good !!

It doesn't say anything about it being dual core... it's the same thing as the S4 but with different construction.

Windows Phone phones by Samsung are Ativ, not Active.
The point? To snatch up a part of the market opened by Sony with the Xperia Z. Personally, I'd gladly get one. To be able to use the phone and not worry about it dying in, for instance, rain... priceless

It doesn't say anything about it being dual core... it's the same thing as the S4 but with different construction.

My bad, didn't noticed the Quad-core in the picture

480 dpi? That seems fake to me.

Ppi= pixels per inch
Dpi= dots per inch
Dots and pixels are different things.

Same reason as having a phone in an otterbox case.... The work samsung have done will keep it waterproof and dust proof without the bulk of a thick case.
Ideal for those like me who work outside a lot and sometimes need to use their phone in the rain etc.

loooooooool

Looks cool and badass.. :good::laugh:
But the One has more class..
Still, i want to trade my S4 with that one -.,-

Man that looks freaking great...I wish I had the patience to wait for it BUT I already have my S4 in the mail and will be keeping her for 2 years
My otterbox and tempered glass will protect her just fine
Im sure release date is still unknown

I really don't like the look of the front buttons, personal thing of course, I just think it makes it look cheap.

Ok, it looks ugly, more specifically the front button part. Reminds me of my old nokia 5800 hardware buttons.

Love it. Want it. Getting it but wish it was smaller.
A 4.2 inch 720 screen is fine for the mountains.

Although a lot of people are saying that the buttons are ugly...one has to consider the fact that this is a waterproof phone
That being said if you are using your phone in the rain, the sensors probably wouldn't recognize your heat signature as such the buttons may be to ensure that a person can use it in wet conditions...just my opinion
