Will there be 2 versions of the wizard?

I remember from a while back that there was 2 versions of the wizard. One was the one that we are seeing now as the qtek9100 and the kjam and there was one that looked like the apache(cdma version) but it did not have the aerial stub so it could not of been the apache. Does anyone know if there will be a different looking wizard being made that looks similar to the apache? I am quite sure I like the apache design a bit better but I am looking for a GSM device.

Do you mean this ???

I know what you mean , I remember seeing the thread somewhere when info was very scetchy. The pictures we saw if I have you right where the K-Jam or Wizzard and the Apache although minus the arial. The first shots I saw of these were like this . Saying that though Mobilefun.co.uk swear their K-Jam unit will be CDMA even after speaking to them and sending them the Imate spec sheet .. If so then it's the closest guarded secret this century.
The Apache has just been released on Sprint in the states .. You lucky things :lol: I think though the Apache is now a bigger device than was speculated .. Could be wrong though

yeah that is the one. i am really looking forward to the wizard since it seems to have everything i am after with the exception of built in GPS which i will sadly have to live without.
it seems like the units that are coming out are all in the qtek 9100 style which i am not too crazy about. i plan on buying a wizard the second it comes out but i would like to buy the latter version if possible. trouble is that i am not sure if i will be able to contain myself from buying the qtek 9100 once it comes out. especially since we have not seen any of the companies use the latter version as of yet. who knows when it is going to come out or even if it ever will.

I always thought the alternative styles were prototypes. I do remember seeing different versions in the FCC database but the only difference was that one had a camera, the other didnt (to make the phone acceptable in areas where cameras are forbidden).

It is Dopod 838

TYNT II
FTMFW!!!!!!!!!!
as soon as tmobile rolls it out.. its mine.. muahahahhahaa

If you don't need a keyboard the Polaris is a wicked phone...or maybe a shift if your ballin' out of control.

The Shift is not a phone.. it's like 7+ inches long and is a UMPC...but the Advantage is considered a phone and still fits in a pant pocket..unless it's a guy that's wearing those stupid brand new super tight & tapered wussie looking girlies pants they try to sell in the men'sdept stores that have no pocket space at all.. but if you're wearing like Rockawear or whatever..then they might fit in the pocket.. hehe btw... the next gen of Advantage is coming out... the Enhanced Advantage X7510
Why did you sell the Herald before getting your next phone lined up??
What are you looking for in your phone?? another pda phone? or just a smart/multimedia phone? something flashy or something powerful? with or without FM radio? blablablablablabla.... give us some more info on what you want! Do you need 3G? or 3.5G? or too poor to afford it lot a lot of other people hehe.
.. :'(
did you already get a new one?
Try out the Touch Vogue or Touch Cruise...
or Sedna... or do you if you liked your P4350.. go for a Panda(cool name hehe for p6300) or TyTn II
What's your budget??
Anyone keeping up with news from the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona???
is there a thread for that yet?

Thank you very much for your openions, I baught a TyTn II, Lovely device, Solid and Fast.
Best Regards

This thing is pretty sweet.

Blackstone, here comes Firestone!

Hey fellas,considered getting an aussie Blackstone.then my evil side says checkout pdadb,up pops the Firestone 100!! says it will replace T8282.600mhz CPU w/1000 max overclock.10/09 release.crap, it isnt even spring!!! evil says 50 usd from wife to hidin spot.that aussie Black still looks good though!

i didn't even understand your post sorry.
As far as i can tell, the only major upgrade is the 8mp camera, other than that, the screen is downgraded. The processor is faster by about 80 Mhz but again, who cares. If they don't provide the drivers then it's wasted potential anyways.
Knowing the camera off the HD, i don't think anyone will care about the 8mp camera on the Firestone.

I have a HD and absolutely agree with Post # 2 above. Personally I will wait till WM 6.5 is out and I have seen actual user reviews and also compatibility of my existing programs with 6.5. By that time I am sure HTC would have come up with a model which I can call a real upgrade to the HD. Just my views

I'm really hoping for a Tegra successor to the Blackstone with the same screen size (I believe Blackstone hit the sweet spot, Toshiba TG01 is waaaay too big).
Before that arrives, I think I'm good with what I have.

The OP didn't make any sense.
But just FYI the Chip used is a SnapDragon clocked @ 600Mhz.

is this the firestone

I think is the YOTA model, which is only sold in Russia.

WLAN -- 802.11b/g
PAN -- Bluetooth 2.0
GPS
FM receiver
Other I/O:
3.5mm headphone jack
miniUSB port
Video output (connector unspecified, but likely uses special dongle attaching to USB port)

HTC are shipping out to many phones to close to each other with no great improvement between them all.
Personally I would wait till WM 6.5 is released, let some cook do his thing then flash it onto your Blackstone. Why waste money on a new phone which isn't any better than the one you have!
Think I'll wait a while until something really special is released, until then I'm gonna sit on the blackstone!

Thatz the Quartz.
Firestone:
IMO, not that innovative. CPU and Camera upgrade, that's all.

Touch Dual II ?

There has been a lot of noise on the internet concerning HTC's roadmap for the near future, device-wise, but I don't think I've seen anything with a vertical phonepad slider like our beloved Niki.
Does anyone know if they have plans to release a successor in this form ?

Happy April Fools' Day!

I dont belive it. It looks like modified Touch DIamond2 with added hardware keyboard just like in Niki.

Looks awesome though! But yes I really wish HTC would come out with a successor for the Touch Dual. I'd buy it in an instant. Any one heard anything about this yet?

I think the phone that comes closest is the Touch Pro, albeit with a side-slider instead of a bottom-slider.

That's the thing though -- the Touch Pro comes with a QWERTY keypad as opposed to the dual which has a numeric T9 keypad style which is what I'm more accustomed to.

It state very clear is "april fool jokes" ...
2009年エイプリルフール用のネタです、
Touch Dual2を発売して欲しいなー
って願いがつまった管理人のMousouです。
April Fool's Joke 2009!!

I would love A HTC Dual II please HTC Get it done.

There's a similar device in the HTC pipeline! Check out the Roadmap 2009 and you will probably get the HTC internal name of it!

which one? i went thru the 2009 pipeline and didn't see anything with a slide out numeric keypad similar to the dual, quite disheartening

Take a look here:

The Tachii or Victor_CT could be the Touch Dual II since they have a 2,8" Display!

certainly hoping!

I did email HTC but only got a 'no current information' auto-reply.
I could get an HD or 3G or Diamond even as an upgrade on my Orange UK account but I'm not sure I'd be really happy without the phonepad slider. I don't know how long I can last without a new toy to play with though !
Anyone having similar thoughts ?

I dont know about you, but for me it should more like IV...
I - Blue Angel:
II - Nike:
III - Juno:
There are others that slide sideways, but thats a different story.

Erm twolf, the Juno is a real Smartphone!

:O what a waiste of a big screen...

Man, a Touch Dual upgrade would be so sweet. Why are they stalling on it so much? I've no idea of figures but I assume that there is still a huge portion of sales based on the 16/20 key keyboard availability

Confirmed X2 Pics....LAtest

X2
Nice pics...
But going by SE track record and add to that the lag in release of WM 6.5, I dont think this device will hit the shelfs before end 2009

Hardware doesn't seem to have changed much - just the design. Hmmmm..... I actually think the X1 looks better....
EDIT - From the other post concerning X2:
'According to insider:
-8.1mpx auto focus, VGA @ 30fps (MP4 HQ)
-3.5´ WVGA OLED (increased from 3.0 from X1)
-GPS, aGPS
-Accelerometer
-Faster processor
-512 RAM
-Custom Windows Mobile 6.5 (SE engineers customized Win6.5 which runs very. very speedy. in par with iphone and better in some cases)
-XPERIA Panels are modified with plenty of innovative features (PS3 remote play being one of them)
-Upgrading to Windows Mobile 7 is supported by Xperia panels'
But according to the above screenshot same processor???? Maybe I'm wrong but if the above is implemented then it should be good. design still looks crappy though IMHO....

Great info there. Thanks for sharing it.
By the looks of it... X1 is much better. But in terms of specs if what was stated is true then it'd be great, although I don't think many of us X1 owners now would feel the need to upgrade.
Looking at the keyboard's buttons... is that design supposed to give a better tactile feeling? hmm... I still prefer X1's current keyboard. Took some time to get used to it initially but heck... like it in the end.
Faster processor... well... with all those wonderful cooked roms we have here... guess the difference won't be that much compared to X1.
Oh well.. just my 0.02 opinion. Still love my X1...

With a little improvement from x1, i think almost all the x1 users will stick with their x1 because its not really what you call an upgrade this year.. But if they are saying that you can upgrade the OS to WM 7 we may think about it..

wats up with ur post saying 512mb ram and the phone saying 200(256mb) ram lol

In my opinion X2 really looks cheap. Its like poor sister of X1. I love design of X1.
Btw. check out the Panels button. There is no X anymore. And I would also miss softkeys.

gee...this is the 3rd thread about X2 on the first page already. How many more do we need? lol
