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that looks really nice but it also kinda makes me mad to see our phone will be outdated within a few months...maybe i will craigslist my current one?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.

After my Captivate experience... Samsung needs to PROVE they can:
1) Release hardware that works (i.e. the GPS fiasco that affected me).
2) Update phones in a timely fashion... preferably providing more than 1 OS update.
Until then... I am steering very clear of any Samsung computing product.

I'm thinking there is already a thread about this craptastic phone.....lol

I am thinking you are right about that..

I like their tvs mew :3

lol, ok point taken. Maybe I should just buy a new bumper and hold off on a ff camera and bigger and brighter screen. At&t is just so damm slow with releasing nice android devices. My inspire just feels laggy sometimes, and it isnt the latest and greatest in specs, great device dont get me wrong. I think whats also making me want another device is from the 1st week, i have like two streak smudges on the screen I cant wipe or get rid off. Must be on the glass, I have no idea what it is. Isnt noticeable right, but in bright light or sunlight, you can see it.

usability> specs anyday. The atrix has better specs then the inspire, but moto hasn't made a good phone since the razor. Look how many people jumped ship from the phone. Also it's samsung, the same phone maker that took over a year to realease an update, the inspire has been out for what less then five months and already has an update.
If your phone fills laggy then your not doing something right .

that's a HUGE DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont really care for updates of any device maker as I'm always using custom roms anyways, right?
Also, not sure the infuse would have the development support the htc inspire/desire has. With that being said, I would think the htc inspire would have a better resale value than the infuse down the line due to lack of dev support? and updates?
I guess thats just speculation though.

Samsung Galaxy Note Hands-On

is not as big as i though it would have been
it actually might be a nice PHONE, rather than a small tablet
wow! i might actually pick up one of these, instead of the Samsung Hercules or the Prime (Samsung Nexus 3)

Cool it looks good. I just wish one of the people that had an opportunity to get some hands on time would take a close look at the screen to try and see if it was a pentile array. Other than that it looks like a solid device, but it because of the size it did look a little awkward in his hands.

So the stylus is cool now?

Well it actually seems handy considering that its accurate. Before I tried taking some notes on a tab and it was horrible. If this thing is as accurate as it seems, taking down quick notes would be nice.
But honestly, I don't give half a **** about the stylus, I'm looking for a phone thats powerful and has a nice screen. Size doesn't matter, well it doesn't matter as long as its bigger than 4".

I like it a lot. I mean I could ditch my tablet, and stick with this thing.

Kmon man... that guy has huge hands and the phone can barely fit in his hand.
To myself, the phone looks HUGE. And what's up with that stylus? It reminds me of Palm devices from 90's...

love at first site.
can't wait for them to release this.
And all these people saying it's too big, well my HD2 was considered too big lmao

Dang this phone is so big it works as a cup holder too!

So in love with the hardware but I couldn't go back to android.

Wow This is it for me, ..and yeah i have big hands so this is perfect for me. It really is not that big.
Oh yeah some noobie questions
hows the battery life?
can I odin back to stock on it?
And............drum roll***
Does it come with an external handle so I can use it as a pin-pong paddle ?

Wow, looks very interesting.
I'll see if I also can test it in a store.

Battery life should be decent. It does come with 2500mah battery

Regardless of size...
..it turns out that having such a huge resolution ( beating many notebooks out there) in a pocket (1280x800)is a dream come true...
Give four, please !!!!
Make it five, just in case....!!!!
Hope I can find something like "Cookies Home Tab", but for Android...

not much different than the current SGS2 at $600 ~ $700

Atrix 2 = Ugly Sensation knock off

I was reading Engadget today and came across pics of the Atrix 2, Motorola's successor to "the world's most powerful [for a couple of weeks] smartphone".
Guess what? It's sporting a display with the same curved glass edge as the Pyramid/Sensation, with a similar 4.3 aspect ratio and QHD resolution.
Check out the pics: http://goo.gl/Dmdgt
And on Engadget: http://goo.gl/QkPya
Now I kinda know how iPhone fans felt when the Galaxy S came out looking exactly the same as the 3G and 3GS. It's kinda annoying when somebody rips off your favourite design...

Still the best looking handset Moto have produced!! Even if it does look a LOT like the Sensation

yep. and has a good looking dock too. i'd say motorola phones are much more stable than htc but yeah, i have the sensation too and loving every part of it

HTC need to sue Motorola for copying there phone

interesting! I guess everyone has completely diff opinions. I had the atrix.. after about a week - instantly sold that off and bought a sensation! I love the sensation 100000x more. Atrix/motorola was just stupid. Motoblur was absolutely terrible. 16gb internal was awesome! However I couldn't use it to how I liked it because it treated the internal as an external sd card -_-.. Some people like it but heck I couldn't stand it. The best thing was the rotation animation!

I like the back.

You mean Google who bought Motorola! They should have bought HTC instead!

Come come fellow HTCers, let's not become legaltards like Apple, so they made a phone that has similarities to the Sensation, so what? when people read the reviews they will see the truth, the Sensation is the greater. And thus, did the Atrix 2 fall into disrepute, so shall it be, amen.

Exactly... And it's not like HTC hasn't ehm, borrowed from others in regards to design. Everybody gets inspired by everybody else, that's how the industry works.

Then I'm afraid you won't like future handsets from HTC. That way of treating the memory is called MTP, as far as I recall. And it's the future. All handsets manufacturers have plans to use it. Some people say it's better than what HTC uses now. I personally don't like it myself a whole lot either...

I'm not being a "legaltard" - I didn't say HTC should sue Motorola, just that the design is so obviously derivative it's laughable. There are only a few ways to seperate a rectangular piece of metal (or, in their case, plastic), but it's kinda funny when their solution is to fairly blatantly rip a phone that's only been on the market a couple of months.
I don't think there's any competition between the two, btw. I just thought it was weird how similar the designs were.

more like an OEM product from a single manufacturer

OK I can KINDA see the similarity, but I really don't think they're THAT much alike. The Atrix 2 also kinda looks like the Nexus S, if you ask me.
Most of the HTC-specific design cues are on the back of their phones anyways, though I haven't seen a picture of the Atrix2's rear.
There are only so many ways you can differentiate a 4-4.5 inch touchscreen slab with no physical buttons. As long as they don't go out of their way to look different from each other, I'm not going to complain. Cause that's when you end up with the really stupid ideas. Like the rumoured three button Samsung redesign...

HTC sensation is one ****ty phone

I thought this would be a good upgrade from my Samsung galaxy S, but boy was I wrong.
1. it's heavier than SGS
2. it's thicker than SGS
3. the back cover is so difficulty to take off. WTF?
4. it's got a crappier screen, esp the black, and horrible viewing angle. Backlit is too bright, horrible LCD panel.
5. large pixels during video playback, WTF? Even my single core SGS can render video much better.
6. laggy as hell, my SGS is so much smoother.
7. horrible battery life, less than half of that of my SGS.
8. runs much hotter than SGS.
9. UI is so ****, can't even delete blank home screen pages, WFT seriously?
10. and cost twice as my SGS.
11. No internal storage, my SGS has 16GB. WTF?
Should have gone with SGS2, what was I thinking.
Will never get another HTC again.

waahhh wahhh wahhh. nobody cares. go cry somewhere else and play with that plastic toy you call a phone.

Yeah cos we're all dumb and your the no1 mastermind, not interested, go find a sgs forum!
If you loved your sgs that much how come you didnt stick with it and buy an sgs2? cos you were looking for something better!

this phone is like 280. and the s2 is from 380-450. what do you expect? no shizz.

obviosuly not the device for you then - guess that's why there are so many manufacturers and models.
you clearly didn't do much homework before your purchase though did you?
apart from battery life/and 'hotness', you would have discovered all the things you don't like by playing with one for 10 minutes.
