Guest l3v5y Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 The HTC Leo that we've all come to love has now been filmed, with all it's snapdragon, multitouch glory (might be interpolated rather than real) and it looks even better than I thought... It's also been found on the Telstra website, confirmed as the Leo! [Via] WMPoweruser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are happy then we have no problem, but your comments are way off beam overall. The Leo does have a dual flash LED built in; the screen is now capacitive and glass fronted, and if recent HTC devices are any guide, the build quality will be good.

Guest Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 This phone looks the dog's dangly bits....I hope it lives up to it's promise. If it does I shall be annoying the missus by buying yet another WM device :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest argh Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 I'm still unsure about the capacitive screen. I haven't had any problems with sensitivity of the screen on the Touch HD (the odd issue with the responsiveness of the UI, but that's not screen related). I'd imagine that it's not really possible to make hand-written notes and diagrams without a stylus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SilentBob Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Will there definitely be no stylus? I seem to remember seeing a patent application (or some such) from HTC for a stylus that would work with a capacitive screen. I can't remember the details. Perhaps it was simply a magnetic tip or something like that (but no doubt there was more to it :) ). That said, does having a capacitive screen also limit the input "resolution"? I.e. still making it difficult to include handwriting recognition, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handwriting recognition may be there, it may not be, and I've yet to see any evidence that it is actually a capacitive screen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the comments on ai.rs, the guy who has put up videos of the Leo in use says here: > 2. No, and you cannot use it with a fingernail or pen (capacitive) While he doesn't actually show that, it certainly sounds like capacitive to me, if it's true.

It's one of the first devices with snapdragon, and according to some people I know, it should be WM7 capable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest powerupmobile Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 The build up for this phone has been going on for months, when is it going to be released? It looks awesome and I am already saving up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it may be WM7 capable, but may be old enuf that HTC puts it into the 'don't care' box when WM7 arrives. Leo2 would probably be out by then anyway.
