Guest n20nine Posted September 10, 2008 Report Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) wow...htc made this so close to perfect...for me..perfect would be a flash included...well, it may not help much in terms of low-light shooting, but i use it frequently as a torch.... i guess the lack of a d-pad will make it harder to game? my lg viewty has an on-screen d-pad when i run games tough..maybe this has a similar one? anyway, good leak mobiman...more pics? ;) edit: i am sure it will have gps, as its a norm..accelerometer should be in it too....and it has a front camera...

Guest BoyBawang Posted September 10, 2008 Report Posted September 10, 2008 sizeasy tells that it's the same size as the iPhone. Wow ;)
Guest citivolus Posted September 10, 2008 Report Posted September 10, 2008 mobiman, can you please confirm (if you know) if the Touch HD supports TV out? That is a major feature for me (for use with Slingbox while traveling) that is compelling me to get the Touch Pro. If so I will hold out for the Touch HD! also, those pics in post #11 from forums.crackberry.com showing Opera mini are awesome! do you know if those were made with the setting "Mobile view" set or is that what a normal desktop view looks like on the Touch HD? I love no zooming!
Guest palmloris Posted September 10, 2008 Report Posted September 10, 2008 This is quite a scoop ! I posted it on a french pda website http://www.mobifrance.com/news/2008-09-10/...480x800-pixels/ Thanks for the news Mobiman and thanks for your website Paul ! Loris
Guest m@... Posted September 10, 2008 Report Posted September 10, 2008 This device is just a big Diamond with beefed up specs... No one talking about the storage this thing will have? Diamond has set a president with its 4gb flash, what will this have 4gb/8gb/32gb maybe? I also predict tv-out like on the Touch Pro ;)
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 10, 2008 Report Posted September 10, 2008 Poster seemed to think it doesn't have a huge amount of flash... P
Guest blewer Posted September 10, 2008 Report Posted September 10, 2008 Another great device!!! What am I going to do at upgrade time now???
Guest MAK11 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) IMO, this phone is a waste on WM6.1 The lack of WM7 is pissing me off ! ;) Edited September 10, 2008 by MAK11
Guest Kallisti Posted September 10, 2008 Report Posted September 10, 2008 Still happier with my Diamond - form factor is it's killer app - been ages since I could have a phone so small that works so well - especially using the TOR SpeedUP ROM - and really - how big a screen do you need on a cellphone? ;) This is obviously nothing to do with other HTC devices, it's purely a competitor to the iPhone. One thing that would be nice is if they settled on some features though - not much hope of the virtual scrollwheel being picked up in software much if it's not supported across the range, nor the accelerometer. Nice having the former working for google maps, but mostly they're both wasted.
Guest Syphon Filter Posted September 10, 2008 Report Posted September 10, 2008 This is obviously nothing to do with other HTC devices, it's purely a competitor to the iPhone. Yeah, the size/form factor of it definitely lends to that impression. It is a very nice looking device though.
Guest cityzenSG Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 If this has a sizable internal HD it is so mine ;) Hi 1Mack, I read the HD as ... high definition for the WVGA screen so I dun think it will have HD storage... moving parts are not ideal for PPC Cheers, Benjamin
Guest bhatiainc Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Anyone else notice the lack of D-Pad on this? I came to know about Samsung Omnia couple of days ago and instead of a d-pad, it has some sort of an optical mouse (right, with a pointer on WinMo 6.1). I would dehydrate and die from drooling if I could see that on this beautiful screen...
Guest popcity Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Which 3G bands? Quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE I assume? ofc, if it has the US 3G bands our american readers will probably explode... ;) P If the 3G radio works on at&t in the states, it's going be a nice holiday for me..
Guest webanalytic Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 http://htchd.com/rumors/htc-touch-hd-black...ility-11-09-08/ ;) :wacko: :( Wow. Where did they get such info? Sounds ok though, but AT&T only?.. Anyone?
Guest GPSAndCo Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Hi all, ;) Paul, Can you confim the screen size: 3,8"? 3,5"?
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Appears to be 3.8": http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=941 ;) P
Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Group Trip to see mobiman then! did someone edit my post ??? I'm sure I put different wording there!
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Small edit to protect mobiman's identity ;) P
Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Small edit to protect mobiman's identity ;) P Ah cool no worries, I noticed afterwards why it was changed. Thanks for keeping him safe!
Guest GPSAndCo Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Appears to be 3.8": http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=941 ;) P Impressive! :wacko: Thanks Paul! I'm really curious to see the battery life on this Touch HD...
Guest 1Mack Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Hi 1Mack, I read the HD as ... high definition for the WVGA screen so I dun think it will have HD storage... moving parts are not ideal for PPC Cheers, Benjamin Correct I should have said flash storage but it looks like it wont have any
Guest benjitek Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) Nice looking device, but, any way you slice it; whatever HTC puts on top, it's Windows Mobile underneath. WM 6.x works for me, but it is after all just an evolved PDA OS that wasn't originally intended to be a phone. From what I've read, WM7 looks to be a positive change in this area though. The Touch-HD seems to illustrate the saying: Chicken before the egg ;) On another note -- has anyone noticed the new SciFi web based series 'Gemini Division'? Every webisode opens with the screen of a WM device, as well as many visuals of the screen during the webisodes. It's definitely not a 6.x version of the OS -- it appears that we may be getting clues as to what some of version 7 might have in store. Whatever it is, it's clearly identified as Windows Mobile, and it looks very slick :wacko: Edited September 11, 2008 by benjitek
Guest clarkster Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Hi, Just wondering if it has Wi-fi as Engadget seems to believe it does not? Thanks
