Guest Paul (MVP) Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 Look what dropped in my inbox! I sense big (or perhaps small? :D) announcements! We'll be there of course, liveblogging and livecasting the whole event in more detail than ever before! :( P
Guest Menneisyys Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 HTC? Yawn. Boring, unimaginative. I seriously doubt they will have ANYTHING interesting.
Guest Samsonite Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) HTC? Yawn. Boring, unimaginative. I seriously doubt they will have ANYTHING interesting. maybe if they launched a new device with a self proclaimed 'Bible', that would get your interest... Edited April 9, 2008 by Samsonite
Guest Samsonite Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 sorry Paul... couldn't stop myself... :D
Guest Syphon Filter Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 HTC? Yawn. Boring, unimaginative. I seriously doubt they will have ANYTHING interesting. Out of interest, which devices currently qualify in your opinion as interesting/imaginative.
Guest Markda2000 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 Out of interest, which devices currently qualify in your opinion as interesting/imaginative. HTC Omni, now that would be interesting.
Guest uniqlo Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 HTC Omni, now that would be interesting. i don't think it's a WinMo device, instead it would be a Google Phone, running Android.
Guest Perfectionist Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 i don't think it's a WinMo device, instead it would be a Google Phone, running Android. Exactly ..... :D
Guest proindigo Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 What would be awesome would be: 1. They bring out a sleek windows mobile phone. pref with a slim line keyboard, and touchscreen. And promise that it will be android compatible when its realeased. That way we can guarantee future compatibility..... Bonus points for 4 meg camera and xenon flash.
Guest Boinng Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 Perhaps it's some kind of reasonable customer support for their existing products? No, just kidding. They couldn't be that innovative.
Guest Sonicr360 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 Could it be linked to the Google phone (Android I think it was known as or still is!) ?
Guest Menneisyys Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 Out of interest, which devices currently qualify in your opinion as interesting/imaginative. Something with - DVB-H/T and/or MediaFLO and/or T/S-DMB (that is, digital TV; FM would be a plus) - 3D hardware acceleration - call recording capabilities - loud, stereo speakers with built-in stereo enhancer better than SRS (see Nokia N95) - a decent camera (at least a N95/N82-alike) - good game controlling capabilities (nice D-pad; also see the touchscreen bug later) - a new(ish), decent chipset (OMAP 3 / Samsung 6430 would be just GREAT! But I can put up even with the 520 MHz Qualcomm 7200, assuming they get the decent drivers) - at last a full MIDlet manager implementation - hardware 3D support, BT etc, just like on the N95/N82 - VGA or WVGA - no touchscreen CPU usage problems (unlike ALL of HTC's current, non-Xscale-based models). That is, - a decent upgrade to the HTC Universal and - everything HTC does NOT currently offer :D

Guest Confucious Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 Hmmm - how do we get an invite? looking to the future, I guess I'll need something to replace my Athena (although with AP4.0 due out it'll keep me going for some time) Not seen anything with such a good screen on the horizon.

That is, - a decent upgrade to the HTC Universal and - everything HTC does NOT currently offer :D That's exactly what they will announce and market. What you get in the box will be broken and have little or no support and when you complain you will be told you can buy the next generation when it comes out instead. Can't see me buying HTC again (can you tell?)
Guest Perfectionist Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 Why are HTC following the crappy Apple style, secrecy marketing plan ?? They don't have the brand power or the loyal fanbase, to pull it off effectively like Apple do !! What is so terrible about being open and giving people a Roadmap ??
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 Because it harms sale of current devices? P

Yes, they could - a lot of other, major players also announce / showcase their new models well before they are released. See for example the Nokia N96, N78 or the new iPhone-alike they've just announced / presented.
Guest Syphon Filter Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 To say that HTC have no userbase/fans is a bit inaccurate if you ask me. I dont know hard sales figures or installed userbase, but I am there are many many people who like their HTC products and await new products from HTC.
Guest Perfectionist Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 Because it harms sale of current devices? It doesn't hurt Nokia or Sony or LG or Samsung etc etc !! I'd bet that it actually helps sales as it builds up hype and exposure of the upcoming models ??

Even refrigerators will have some kind of fan base dude ! However to say that HTC has the same kind of loyal brand following as Apple is patently absurd ! Most people outside of this forum probably don't even know HTC exists !
