Yeah it's awesome but the thing is going to be extremely expensive when it launches.
Topic already being discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=367842
But yea, looks awesome
Yes, why. It's not 3D. When it was a rotating cube, it was 3D, but now, it's all 2D !
Any idea ?
On the D2 they refer to it as Enhanced TouchFlo 3D .... hmmmm
If you scroll across the banner then you can't rotate like a 3D surface. You simply reach the end like a 16th century ship sailing off the edge of the flat Earth.
I think you have to imagine the 3D .... along with the configeration options and flexibility with 3rd party products.
I think it's just the 3D animated effects, for example when swiping through text messages & emails, and the flip clock.
Back when I had my Kaiser, these were the only differences between TF2D and TF3D roms. So yeah, not really that 3D I guess.
TF3D was used for original Diamond, so I guess the new TF3D for Diamond2 and Pro2 with extra features & functionality is 'enhanced' TF3D.
It's just a name some HTC guy invented. That's all It could be 4D if they wanted.
Maybe it has nothting to do with depth, but is it call 3d because it's the third installment of touchflo ... the next version is probably called touchflo 4D then ..
Maybe they use the programming API for the 3D Ati extension, what's it called OpenES (??) for the GUI.
I know for sure SPB MS 3.0 uses 3D acceleration for their GUI (Carousel Mode) and TD2, HD is able to use the acceleration. Had a Asus P565 and HP hx4700 which does not use the 3D acceleration during the carousel mode.
3D is an abbreviation for "3 times more Demanding on your RAM"

They actually use the Vincent OpenGL ES API since TF3D.
The clock, the image transitions, contact flips, ... are all 3D.
Why is it called 3D while you still can't see 3D ?
Because the screen is 2D ... quite normal
So why do they call it 3D ?
It's like saying a 3D-game.
Everything is calculated in x, y and z parameters, but are translated into 2D graphics to display on your screen.
my question is not "why is it TouchFlo 3D" but why "Manila"?
the weather and the images are in 3d

Manilla is the codename
Touchflo 3d is the name HTC officially sell the UI as.
It is 3d in that the transitions for images, text messages, the flip clock etc. are 3d.
It utilises 3D hardware accelerated graphics (so it runs faster) as oppose to TouchFlo/Manila 2D that doesn't used hardware accelerated graphics.
Like many of you, I upgraded from the Samsung Vibrant to the G2X. One of the things I really miss with the Vibrant is the detail to colors in the address book and phone navigation menu's. There is a lot of talk about Gingervread on this phone and I was just wondering of someone can tell me what we can expect from this update?
- Better Exchange Client?
- Better Calendar Client ?
- Better Contacts Client?
- More options for adding different accounts?
- Better performance?
Thanks

I recommend downloading Go Contacts as your contact/phone manager and, if you like Facebook Photos as your contacts, use SyncMyPix. At least thats been my favorite one so far, in large part because it's a knock off of the one on my HTC Incredible. I know everybody has their own preferences though.
Alas it's Android, hop on the market and customize the thing how you like it.

Hi there! Well, actually it has more things than many modern phones don't have
Xenon flash, 2nd largest sensor (just behind the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-CM1 that has 1-inch sensor), HDMI port, 3.5 audio jack, TV-out, FM transmitter, NFC, removable battery, camera button, high-quality stereo microphones (maybe still the king in recording quality?) etc
I haven't found any Symbian category in XDA, but I would like to see one. I have plenty more apps to recommend (and hundreds installed in my 808), but I am also trying to revive some old internet-related apps to restore as much functionality as possible. You have the SIStore installed, so you can check the first app that I revived by changing it completely to the ESPN FC Web (for the soccer fans). I will keep up with the efforts, but since I am not a developer, I would appreciate any assistance from any developer. I am sharing the result for free of course.
I want to restore Clouds, News apps, New Movies/trailers, facebook chat/messenger through new API, weather apps, etc
Any assistance/advice is welcome!
And yes, 808 is still the king!
Great to hear that someone value this great device.
Ah CM1, yeah. It can be better, but not in all scenarios.
And remeber that n808 is more compact, CM1 is quite bulky.
Here is some full-sized examples of n808 mightiness (see attached zip)

Amazing photos!
In many aspects, I love the 808! It is very easy to grip and use it with one hand for sure! CM1 is not that far though. It is quite narrow, and only slightly bigger than the 808, it can also be used with one hand, and although not as easy as with the 808, sure way easier than all flagships since then (even 5.5-inch screen is considered as small nowadays!)
Nokia 808 has a better camera then some of these 100 megapixel, overrated 7 lenses in one smartphone camera type of phones lol.
