Desire s... a disappointment... or is it

I think the new desire s is well exactly the same as the desire but with different design gingerbread and a new CPU which isn't even a dual-core. The processor is fast I know but with honeycomb for smartphone and the sgs 2 coming soon it will be unable to compete. I'm not sure about it... anyway least desire we will get some sense with gingerbread
EDIT: I've kind of changed my mind about this, I like the desire s it fixes everything wrong with the desire. It's not much of an update from the desire. It's not amazing, its not crap it just very very good.

It's the phone that's leaked so far already, if the specs are as similar to the stock Desire as they say I won't be bothered

Thats big dissapointment... last year HTC was the best with top hardware, but today even LG is able to do more powerful phones. Goodbye HTC.

This is only the spec on 1 phone, if the HD2 surfaces as thought it could be awesome

DS looks basically like a 'woops, yes the original desire's internal memory was a bit shocking so here's a fix for it, thanks for your cash' sort of release...
Yes they can push out a phone with single core etc. for now because by the time people actually _need_ a dual core will probably be another year - but the only thing the DS looks good for is to make people happy who don't want a big phone (i.e. DHD), and don't already have a Desire

This phone is for new customers. Why you nerds need to upgrade like every month to new phone I will be happy with my Desire for several years... Been using it now over 6 months...

^^ You come onto a forum for people wanting to talk about phones and hack them and yet you call us 'nerds' - what does that make you??
Just for that, you can have this:

You might be happy with phone like that for quiet a long time, but not everybody is like that, and to be honest, htc not anouncing a dualcore phone is BIG disapointment, coz HTC was already one of the tech leaders, delivering the latest solutions, and I still cannot believe, that HTC is dropping this completely, and taking the mainstream Facebook way instead, they will surely make loads of money on those facebook phones, but missing the top class highend might actually do some damage on reputation...

Part of me wonders if this is an interesting approach - a sort of;
1) get more people on android with nice 'mid-range' CHEAPER android phones
2) wait to see what everyone else brings out
3) bring out something better
To be honest - I think it'll be another year before I upgrade... this year is going to be mayhem for phones and I can see everyone signing up for contracts left right and centre to get something awesome - then (as usual) something better comes along

I hear you. I have been itching to upgrade with multiple upgrades available on my accounts. I dont want to fork over full price for the Galaxy Nexus like I did with the previous two and want to actually use my upgrade this year. I hope tmobile releases this on 4/4 .

TmoNews posted an article about April 22nd release date. Still all rumors, but here's the hoping.

Is anodized a cheaper process? If so I would think the Grey version may be cheaper than the black version outright. Or maybe that is why Tmobile USA is getting the grey version.

That's possible. Both finishes are extremely high quality but the micro arc oxidation process is more rare in smartphones.
I actually think I like the grey version better. Looks reminiscent of the Nexus One, which is still probably my favorite Android design from HTC.

@Hgaara - I asked a similar question in another XDA thread & so far, it doesn't appear TMobile US is getting the black MAO model. I posed my original question as I did because I found several sources which say only the gray anodized model is coming to TMo, although the information gathered so far is anecdotal. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Seems like the USA version of One, while still amazing, are kinda gimped. I wonder why no MOA version for tmobile.

Exactly the same situation here. If Samsungs new device sucks then its definately gotta be the S. Just hoping that the Galaxy's screen isnt as big as the One X's one. It's just too much... :what:

Well, even though it has it critics, and I do go through periods of using AOSP (and prob will on the S once it's available and stable) I still think Sense is the best custom UI on Android. Simple really, SGS3 can't match that element
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

Supposedly its going to have a 1080p screen, to me this is a bad thing.
1) I bet it is bigger than the ONE S and I wasn't quite happy with the size of the ONE X
2) It takes more horse power to run it, so its processor and graphics may be higher but side by side performance will probably be similar due to it having to push more pixels about the place. Also.. 1080p.. on a phone... What's the F'in point??

First i'm 100% sure that Galaxy S III won't have 2gb of ram neither 1080p screen. Its a next generation and since theres obvious settlement betwen manufacturers you can expect same specs as One X. And i'm also pretty sure that it won't have SD card, every manufacturer stops using them, why should they use them, about removable battery i'm not sure, if new galaxy is gonna be thinner then i guess it will have non removable battery.

I think the S3 will have 4.7 screen, so its big, also display will be as good as X. About other specs - I suspect quad core processor, some good graphic component, rumors about 12mp camera.
But anyway, there are only rumors atm, and Im not fan of S2, so I will go for One S as soon as it avaible here

If it takes T-mobile US as long as it did to get the Galaxy S 2....i'm not waiting.
But then again, i don't want to wait. Im tired of Samsung's plastic devices, ugly touch wiz, and international Galaxy S3 will be different from the US Galaxy S3, which will hinder dev support.
Im sure the one s will have great dev support like the sensation. Every one S around the world will be the exact same and will run the same roms.
The only thing i was hating about htc phones was the bad slcd screen, so happy theres amoled now, and i dont care if its pentile.

nothing compares to HTC GPS. I can get a lock in under 15 seconds. no tweaks.
i never lose the satellite. Its found me home many times

kinda yes, I really like GS2 and SAMOLED Plus is great. But we still don't know if GS3 will be SAMOLED HD or SAMOLED HD Plus. It's most likely be the same size as One X, packing same or better CPU, probably same or better quality camera, and most likely missing things like notification light and noise canceling mic.

Same boat as @tf442. I have a "first month out" Vibrant and GPS has been abysmal from the get-go. I have flashed at least a dozen ROMS (probably more)from Bionix, Trigger all the way to ICS 4.0.4 and they vary, but still no where near other manufacturers GPS. I will not give $$$ to Samsung since they went on the pine in acknowledging any issues with GPS. That, and quit with FROYO. Not good for a top-end phone at the time.

I am eligible for upgrade now, but I don't think I am going to. I might wait out until mid to end-year to upgrade. I am pretty satisfied with my G2 still. Everyone swears it's a great backup phone, but I like it as my main phone all the same.

HTC Vigor is rumored to be an Android 2.3.4 smartphone with 1.5GHz Dual-core processor and 720p resolution 4.3" display. It is expected to replace the HTC ThunderBolt in VZW's line. Other details remain unknown. HTC Vigor features 1GB of RAM, 16 gigs of internal storage, 8-megapixel rear and 2-megapixel front-facing cameras, while on the software front it will run an updated HTC Sense UI, version 3.5.

And even worse by Verizon IMHO. I'm sorry to say that once my T-Bolt dies (this is my second one) I'm swearing off HTC for the foreseeable future. I will stay with a Google Nexus phone or possibly Samsung. I have a love/hate relationship with verizon. Love the coverage I get (even getting 4g way out in the countryside in B.F.E. Minnesota) but HATE LOCKED BOOTLOADERS and the "You root it, it's yours and NO warranty no matter what the problem is/was attitude". Sorry HTC once burned twice shy.

If HTC can't support their existing product and customers then no way I'm touching another HTC product.

In the end, yes Verizon likes to screw you, making their phones CDMA, the only way you're using their phones out of country is using their overseas plans. But from my research its not impossible to change a CDMA phone to work GSM, just very, very hard.
But what really makes me sad is HTC. If developers like Liquid, DVicious, BAMF and etc can bring ICS and possibly Jellybean (not talking Protekk's build, DVicious called him out on Twitter the other day on his BS) then why can't HTC have the frakking ability to use the power & potential the Mecha still has?

If anyone find where to buy this amazing device, please tell us here !

HTC really wants a punch in his face. Why they keep doing Updates to already released phones?

the machine is magnificent. I would have bought without thinking!

if that phone will come out early we can port the jb rom from it to our one s.

Agreed.

HTC was smart by making the end caps tinted already. Bet those things get nasty after some use. I usually prefer white but I'm way more jealous of the storage space than the color in this case.

It's just not fair ;(
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2

I think HTC's strategy will continue to fail them. It's essentially the same phone they released months ago just it has more storage. This is what the One S should've been when it came out, BUT it also should've had NFC to future proof the device.

Hopefully the memory IC is compatible with our phones so we can just resolder them
Sent from my HTC One S S3

It's not surprising to see HTC made this move to release a variation of one s with different colour and more storage space. And I don't think it's unfair to the "old" one s owner either.
Just like Samsung released S3 alpha in Japan which has better specs than the international S3, companies will never make perfect phone, at least release a perfect one at one time.
The very next day after a device is made available to public, it's already become "yeaterday's" gadget apparently and literally. Moreover we all believed one s was a near perfect masterpiece when we bought it and did not bother too much about the 16gig storage, so why should we complain it now 6 months down the road. And we all know, in 3 years time, or less, one s may only be grandpa's play tool...
Regarding the release of one s se in other countries, I guess it will be available in the future if HTC still wants to keep the one s line. Since I know some big Telecom company like orange uk has marked one s EOL, end of line/life. Or HTC is preparing something big to come in Christmas time.
I do think it would have been nice to have at least 32gig option when one s was released, however that was not the case...

They could just design it with a microSD slot, it's that simple.
I knew that when I got the phone but didn't think it would bother me so much.
Roming it would be much easier... It's like they took the two bad things from the iPhone... Can't understand that.
Still I love the One S!

It's not surprising to see HTC made this move to release a variation of one s with different colour and more storage space. And I don't think it's unfair to the "old" one s owner either.
Just like Samsung released S3 alpha in Japan which has better specs than the international S3, companies will never make perfect phone, at least release a perfect one at one time.
The very next day after a device is made available to public, it's already become "yeaterday's" gadget apparently and literally.

I disagree. Even after the One S came out, it's specs didn't become obsolete. The galaxy s3 was released shortly after and even that is on par with the one S based on benchmarks. And as the way things are, a lot of phones are being released with almost similar specs, with the exception of cpu speeds (architecture may be more optimized but say, exynos and snapdragon 4 are very much on par) and ram, phones aren't being differentiated. Not unless the new batch of architecture cpu are released and even then, manufacturer still have to create a phone around it. So while yes, this Taiwan version only phone has more memory, it doesn't mean any one s, one x, are going to be a grandpa toy only time soon. I can see the iPhone 5 being obsolete the moment it came out and being a grandparent toy only (Samsung commercial hit it dead on) but the one s will still be a contender. In fact, the only phones that become obsolete the day after released, are budget phones. Aka, one v and people still complain they aren't getting updates.

Hello,
We contacted HTC France which we confirm that this model was reserved for the Taiwan market.

Speaking of unique HOS devices, check out this one:

tmobile HTC One S.. and it definitely looks good.

good effort by htc but they really could save more complaints/headaches from current HOS owners by adding the following features:
bigger battery
pentaband frequency
shipped with jellybean 4.1
if priced right i'd buy it and sell my current TMOUS HOS.

How much it cost?

Yes, it's really a nice device.
