Remember the official twitter anoucement in which the representative said something like "by the time we bring touch HD to US, there will be better phones for you guys then", or something like that?
wmpoweruser claimed to have a source saying the new XD (probably not the real name) makes touch HD looks childish in comparison.
Personally I know it's possible for newer phones to kick HD's rear, but to the degree of "pale in comparison" is unthinkable... unless... flash + android + capacitive touch??? my dream...
http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=1292
on another thought, this could be the same phone as Area-Mobile's claim of the new phone that's similar to HD but has Android
http://www.areamobile.de/news/9999.html
Already a thread of this
May b it's the combination of tegra, wm7, android.
May b come with HD camera with flash ?
Where is there already a thread on xd? I think the improved version will have built in storage (8gig), flash, haptic feedback, and either winmobile 7 or graphics chip.

There isn't really a thread for the XD, namely because we don't know of any Touch "XD". So far it's just a presumed name for whatever next big device might be making, particularly because HTC hinted at a new device when it annouced the HD would not appear in the US.
Of course shortly after that announcement, the HTC T8290 was leaked, and so there are some quick assumptions that the T8290 = Touch XD.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=435096
But again the XD doesn't really exist (yet?). And the T8290 adds WiMAX, which means it's unlikely to appear Stateside anytime soon (at least not until Sprint launches more WiMAX markets); therefore the T8290 probably is not the so-called XD.
All in all, there really isn't any information, except for what little information Mobile-Review "spilled", so everything is purely up to speculation for now.
Sorry because orb3000 wrote "Already a thread of this" i read it as already a thread ON this". My mistake.
Someone did say that news on HD will b old news bcoz some cool stuff is coming. But an HD with WiMAX is not cool as many countries does not have WiMAX yet. And it seems like it doesn't come with 3.5mm jack.
So does anyone think it is cool stuff ? Cold stuff may be.
T8289, to me, is just Touch Diamond with large screen and WiMAX. That's all.
trust me on this. nothing too much better is planned. thats all im saying. atleast not until a bit into 09.
Agreed. The HD is currently the most interesting WinMo thing to come from HTC, as it is an edition of the Diamond that goes quite a way to show that occasionally, HTC DOES listen to customers. When they come out with a device that does Not have some of the most important HD features and is targeted at only some specific markets (the selling point being WiMax ofcourse) I'd hardly call it "the device that makes the HD pale in comparison", or even a more advanced device to begin with.

You're right. The HD will be the best thing at least until Q3/2009 probably. But then there's goning to be something revolutionary.
I really think the Touch HD is good enough for most people. What could possibly be in the XD and not in the HD? HD is beautifully designed compared to the new WIMAX one which is horrible. Maybe the XD will have 8 or 16gig built in. Well we can easily add 8 or 16 gig microsd cards. Maybe XD will have a camera flash? Okay but a slight improvement over HD. Maybe XD will have Windows Mobile 7? Well I am sure the talented folk on here will make a compatible rom for HD users. Maybe XD will have Android? Well we are a Windows Mobile community and it will take a long time for Android to catch up with the thousands of apps out for PPC. Maybe it will have a 4" screen? Well I don't want too big a casing. 3.8" is perfect. Maybe it will have the new graphics chip? The HD seems fast and more than capable to play movies and games.
I am not sure waiting and waiting for the XD version will be so worthwhile in my opinion, especially as we don't know what we are waiting for.
I can't wait for HD. The PERFECT phone (in my opinion of course)
i am pretty sure it wonÄt have WINMO 7 as it will not be out before the end of next year. and even then companys will have to test it before phones come out. so i don't expect WINMO 7 devices to see the light of day befor christmas 2009
For sure the next revolution in mobile phones will be the implementation of tegra or another piece of hardware very similar to tegra. That will then open up the possibilities of how we interact with our phones. I can't wait, but to hang on for the NEXT big thing all the time simply means you miss out on the currently available goodness!

I bet my money on that XD will have WM7, Capactive touch screen and Tegra. the rest, such as flash or built-in storage are minor things.
The reason being that one of WM7's _suggested_ (not minimum) requirement is capacitive touch screen, it has been mentioned more than once that microsoft wants WM& to be finger friendly and touch oriented instead of using a stylus, so those two go in hand in hand most LIKELY. Nvidia also annouced that they are focusing SOLELY on WM7 for tegra APX chip, so that goes hand in hand.
After searching and watching all the Tegra demo videos online, i believe this feature/hardware in itself will trump HD right now. But that won't happen till 6 month ~ a year later. I'm talking about the Tegra APX chip, not the 600 or 650, which may come earlier but are not targeted towards smartphones.
The final reason of why all these are connected is: in the original twitter of why HD is not released in US, the htc rep said "by the time we bring HD to US, there will be better things". The general trend based on my observation is that if someting (phone) is released in europe/asia first, it will be at least 6 month, till the same product passes the FCC certification + carrier certification + all that shenanigan. The same is especially true for US's GSM carrier, just look at how much delay Blackberry Bold is experiencing with AT&T's certification. Not saying it's a bad thing for them to do extra testing, but this delay just fits with what the HTC rep said. and i totally belive at the rate HTC is going, in 6+ month, they will have something that "makes HD look pale in comparison"
It won't be NVidia Tegra but probably Qualcomm or TI with Snapdragon and new OMAPs that feature 1GHz processors (+ Tegra perhaps?).
That's what the rumor about the HTC XD is about probably (well, even HTC employees don't know for sure what MR was talking about).
But it will eventually come before WM7 which means no capacitive touch but that's not for sure too.
That's everything that is known. I tell you because the speculations in this thread are going crazy...
And it is for sure that the HD will be the flagship device for at least half a year if not one year so go for it.

I completely agree with this. The speculations are starting to look more like dreaming away on the ultimate phone, and "by the time the HD comes to the US" certainly does not refer to a time period of over a year from now, and before that hardly anybody realistically expects Tegra APX to be available. Same goes for WM7. Of course in a year from now there will be things that make the HD look pale in comparison. Same goes for hardware in a lot of segments, CPU's and GPU's experience huge developments per year. With that in mind you might as well wait for the rest of your life because every time something comes out something superior is already in the making.
I'm getting the HD because it will definitely rock, and I know it will really take some time before we see anything that will truly make the HD "pale in comparison".

I don't see any revolution coming in 2009. Nothing the same scale as the introduction of touchscreen, camera or gps.
All these went through long period of prototypes, reduced functionality or usage of external devices before being fully integrated in consumer devices.
There is nothing revolutionary now under development that will hit the streets in one year time. Just higher data transfer speed, higher megapixel count, higher MHz cpus, more bling-bling in the interface, better game/video framerates, better internet support, in one word evolution.
The next revolution will probably be the substitution of arm with desktop-like x86 cpus, when the power consumption will drop about 10 times compared to what Via Nano and Intel Atom can do today. And that will be in 3 to 5 years time, when they go to 10nm or so fabrication process.
By that time we will plug the LCDs in our HTCs and play Half Life with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse
Hello people
IMO Blackstone is the best device ever and right now the best device on market I have held it and played a bit with friend's device and it rulez. Far better than iPhone (I have iPod Touch and I know what it is all about OMG - although as a MP3 Player it is the best around). And I really want to buy one.
But it is little expensive in my country so here is the question.
Remember what apple did? Lot of people bought iPhone and right after that new iPhone was released.
I am really afraid that if I will buy Blackstone (I want to buy it in february) and there will be something better right after that or maybe there will be newer WM systems on these devices or etc.
Are there chances that this can happen? That eg I will buy Blackstone with WM 6.1 and really shortly there will be new blackstone with WM 6.5 or something else making it even better?
What do you think??
Thank you.
I don't think WM 6.5 is coming anytime soon. Perhaps at the end of the year.
http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/first-windows-mobile-6-5-devices-due-in-third-quarter-of-09/
If you can wait, I'd say wait a month. Microsoft will give more details at the Mobile World Congress next month.

That's Apple for you though, the only company to not given a flying **** about the customer.
They limit you in every single way possible to use a dumb downed device that is only for dumb people.
Go for the HD, you will love it.
I think three to four months from now there might be other devices that you might want to test drive then, like the Palm Pre, the next iPhone, Touch HD-variants with better graphics processing. Some will be presented indeed at the next Mobile World Congress, but then again, it will take time for these new devices to reach your market.
Upgrading your HD operating system to 6.5 should be no problem, I would not worry about that. At some point you will have to make your hardware decision, and always face the risk that three months later there will be a device even more desireable. I think none of us need a HD to survive, but its nice to have.
In my view for the next three months there will be no device better than the HD commercially available.
I guess in the next three months we may have announcements (official) from HTC on new devices for 2009. But, these will not be in the shops until June/July.
I would say "go for it" now. There is always a possibility that another killer device will be appearing so if you wait for new ones now why not wait again in summer for the Windows 6.7 (!!) devices ...
We're in a post-Christmas, credit-crunched lull at the moment. Much better "next gen" devices based around better processors etc are just around the corner - I'd steer very clear of the HD, it's a dead end.
Thanks guys
I guess I will buy it. If you say there will be no problems updating to newer OS and other stuff.
Yep, I don't dislike iPhone, but Iphone is not what I want.
Blackstone, w8 for me, I am coming

Just a warning: there is no guarantee that a ROM upgrade will be made available. HTC have not promised this.
All you can say now is that the HD may be flashed with a new ROM. The supply of that ROM depends on HTC and the excellent enthusiasts here in XDA (there are lots of alternate ROMs available already for the HD).
I personally use a standard ROM and I'm happy with it.
3GSM
Maybe, we could just wait the 3GSM in Barcelona in mid February to know more about next WinMo releases. Even if MS release it on Feb, the first devices will not appear before this summer, (if it's the same way as for WM6.1).
HTC will maybe provide us with a new ROM as for some of WM6.0 devices (the elf update was only available for a short period). And if they don't, I'm sure the ROM cookers from the Blackstone ROM forum will do
My main concern about the HD is battery life,I had the Diamond and it was so bad I bought a Nokia for the first time in my life,nice machines that last 4 hours on a single charge are not mobiles.

I am happy with the HD battery. It easily lasts a day of FULL use (BT for calls, GPS infrequent use and 1 hour of podcast listening).
But, I have no need for long-play videos. I suspect this is a weak spot for the battery.
Well, it seems it is a though decision for many people besides me...
I went from a HTC Touch to a i780 from Samsung. Much better phone than the Touch as everybody should know. Used it for more than a year till I got my hands on a new Samsung Jet. Very nice phone, much lighter, smaller, nice interface, and above all a awesome display (AMOLED 800x480). So I bought it a few months ago, but... the problem is when someone is used to a real smartphone with all the software and apps available, and the true customization options... So, Jet to the closet and i780 back on use, but... always a "but"... after getting used to the awesome display, the i780 just looks like crap.
Ok, so even with lot's of phones on every corner of my house, I'm convinced to get something new. I've tried a HTC Hero from a friend and really liked the HTC Sense interface. Android also seem's to work fine under the Sense skin, but the display and an old OS version (android 1.6) doesn't convince me to spend my money as I know I'll always be thinking on something more "up to date".
I went through net surfing and some stores, and the HD2 is really a awesome device: great, great display, fast, etc... But as we know, soon there will be some great new devices: the HTC Supersonic (HD2 alike with Android); the HTC Bravo (much alike Nexus One, but with the awesome HTC Sense); and the Nexus One itself (not yet available in Portugal, but soon it will get here). Besides those, there will be a new iPhone soon, and I don't believe Apple want's to loose the race of smartphones with a new iPhone with lower specs than the others, so probably a great iPhone will come to the light. I must say, I'm a Mac user, but never felt the "need" for an iPhone, but I confess I really like it.
So, in my place, what would you do? HD2 right now or wait for the others?
Reference links:
HTC Supersonic
HTC Bravo
iPhone
Wait for the 5" Dell mini 5 on Android!
I think the new iphone will be very similar in specs to the ipad and it will not have any special '4G' apps. But I could be wrong.
4G is supposed to be the name of the new iPhone... I'm not thinking about new apps, only better specs: display, camera, faster cpu, etc...
By the time 4G/LTE is actually a reasonably implemented cellular standard across Europe, the iPhone "4G" will look like a toy from half a decade ago...
Be happy that there are at least a few places in Portugal with 7.2mbps HSDPA service, and generally available 3.6mbps/1.8mbps maximum speeds (all theoretical, of course).
Just get a HD2 now, friend.
I think you can expect a 5mpix camera, 1GHz Apple processor and MAYBE a better display... which means, in the best case, the specs will match the HTC Bravo.
So, I'd say forget about the iPhone. No iPhone could yet match the hardware specs of its competitors, and that won't change with the next version.
Question that remains: HTC Bravo or HD2... right now, I'd say Bravo, BUT that won't be available until March, which is when Windows Mobile 7 will have already been unveiled.
Bottom line: Wait until the announcement of Windows Mobile 7 on February 15. Chances are that it will blow away every bit of desire you now feel for Android or iPhone

You are right my friend, but once more I want to make an attention call for this: iPhone 4G, it's only the name of the device. It doesn't mean it's built for 4th generation networks. At least, it's the name already seen in the source code of the latest updates of iPhone OS. The new iPhone, will be called 4G the same way it could be called 3GSS, or something else...

Aside from the awesome display, the Bravo it's the one most appealing. HD2 or Supersonic, really have great displays, but they are uncomfortable big to carry out on your pocket (pants pocket of course).
About Windows 7, let's wait and see. To say the true, I've always been a Linux/MacOS user and fan (I work as IT Security Specialist, so Windows is always a bad work tool), but to be honest, I've never had problems with Windows based mobile devices...
At least I hope WinMobile 7 to be as good as Windows 7 for PC.

Yeah, NOW... but as I said, by the time the Bravo gets available, you may already have seen WM7 and may not find the Bravo appealing anymore.
You should just wait now, it's a long time until Bravo, iPhone 4G etc. get available and with the speed that smartphones are evolving, what seems appealing now may already be boring with a month.
If you want a new phone right now, get the HD2. That's undoubtedly the best smartphone thats available now in Europe.
But if you don't mind waiting, just stop wondering now about what you should buy and wait what will happen.
And by the way, the HD2 will not be too big for your pocket at all. In fact, I find it more comfortable than the iPhone 3G and the Touch HD I had before, due to the reduced thickness.

Right now, it is really the best one. But will in the future be available an official OS update with WM7? This is probably the most popular question on the forum about the HD2, and if it really has some "hidden" memory to support it...
About it's size, I tried one in the shop when I was carrying my i780. It is bigger than the i780 and it really feels that big in my pocket, even without the leather case. Bigger than my i780, which is uncomfortable in the pocket (front left pocket of my pants) specially when driving... but I forgive it for the awesome display

The HD2 definitely supports it. It does not need any hidden memory, the official specs are enough. I can promise you this.
What I can not promise, is that HTC will release an official upgrade. If they don't there's still a chance that WM7 for the HD2 will be leaked.
But if you want to be sure, just wait another two weeks, cause it's likely that if they will release an official upgrade, they will announce it at the same time Microsoft annouces WM7.
My advice is: Wait for two weeks, and if you like WM7 and there will be an official upgrade, then buy the HD2.
If you don't like what Microsoft shows at MWC, then you can still think about what device to buy. Right now, wondering about what to buy is just a waste of time, because a lot will change in the next few weeks.
The wait will kill me
Anymore opinions?

whats the point in waiting ? every few monats a new really cool phone come out. and you can not compare these phones, there is one windows mobile phone,3 android phones and a osx phone.
Um, what about the Diamond 3/Obsession, or whatever it will be called???
I'm itching to buy an HD2, I even went and had another play with one today : ) However, there are two things stopping me buying it. One is size, the other is that the lack of an AMOLED display.
At the end of last year I bought an Acer S200 with Snapdragon chip. It was awesome because it was so fast : ) The downside was the lack of people developing stuff for it here on XDA, so when the headphone jack failed after two weeks, I sent it back. The next phone I tried was an Omnia II, which was dog slow compared to the Acer, but, of course, it was a little bit smaller than the Acer and it had a beautiful AMOLED screen...
So, I reckon, if you're unsure of the size, wait until the MWC in a couple of weeks and see what is announced. If HTC release a WinMo device that is the size of the Bravo or smaller, but still has a 3.7" sreen and Snapdragon chip, I'm buying it ; )
With regard to WinMo 7, I have one big worry. What if the specs that have been leaked are a minumum standard??? What if our Snapdragon devices struggle to run it like earlier Qualcomm chipsets struggle with 6.5?? What if you actually need the faster Snapdragon, or even dual core Snapdragon chipset to run it well? Just a thought : )
If you want a new phone now, buy the HD2 as it is by far the best one out there. If you can wait, there is always something better coming in the future.
But then, if "something better" is finally out, there will probably be another something better if you can wait another while...

What he said. To me from what I've tried android is a big "meh", so it's out. iPhone is even more out for lack of multitasking, closed environment, etc. So that leaves only the HD2. And, good news, I've loved it when trying it. So my order will go out next week
You cannot chase technology and win my friend, whatever you buy now will be old in 4 months time. R&D is always way ahead. Whatever you buy, buy it for your needs and learn to be satisfied, remembering that they will ALWAYS be something new just around the corner, and if you don't adjust your thinking you will always be unhappy as soon as the next thing comes out.
Honest opinion. How long do you think development will continue for our phone by the great minds at xda? I mean its an older phone, WM7 is around the corner, android is rising, and everyone seems to be mimicking iphone software aka "dumbing" down the phones. Most have jumped ship to newer devices ala HD2 but even then with WM7 coming soon how long do you plan on sticking with the HD?
I'm asking this because I am contemplating moving on to the Galaxy S or SE x10 as I really dont like what I'm hearing about WM7 and there is no way I'm getting an iphone so I might sell my HD while it has as much resale value as I can. I figure once WM7 comes out the value will drop even more than it is now. At least now I can say I am running the latest and greatest WM OS out lol.
From what I've read, more and more people are opting for the HTC Desire, so it seems Android is the OS of choice over anything else out there. I have about 8mths left on my contract, so I can't switch yet, but unless something better comes out in the meantime, I'll be getting the Samsung Galaxy S - stunning phone!
I think we'll always (well, until a reasonable point) have a few chefs around - not everyone can afford the newest handsets, and we may still get one or two late-adopters who couldn't afford the HD at first
MOD EDIT - Moved to General discussion
The specs of Touch HD is very similar to HTC Hero, if Android will ever be available as a stable ROM for HD I will continue using it for a long time since its such a fantastic phone really
Hey peeps,
I am currently on the HD2 EU running NAND gingerbread.
On 20 Feb my cell contract renews and I can get a new phone. I have looked at both the Desire HD and the Galaxy S. The Galaxy S only seems to have a superior screen and the DHD superior everything else (IMO that is).
What would you HD2 peeps do and why? I really need some help deciding here please guys. I love my HD2 to bits and want to make sure I get a device that matches it or beats it.
I am asking this in the HD2 forums as I know most of you love your devices as much as I do so will know where I am coming from.
The HD2 wont go into a drawer at the end of the week BTW. I will still continue to flash the kak out of it
TIA - Mike

SIM only contract, monthly, and wait 'till something seriously cool comes out. Watch Barcelona news during the next couple of weeks... new chip sets means new phones... something interesting on six months time, perhaps?
Going to be hard to leave a phone with this much flexibility when the time comes, but for me, until it feels stretched, it's a keeper.

If you have to get one right now, then i'd say the galaxy s. Reasons being:
Better graphics chip, and maybe processor
Screen
Proper HD recording
16/8 gb of memory
secondary video camera (but who actually uses it, it's only there to show off) >.>
However, one big draw back of the galaxy s, atleast for me, is no sense UI as of now.
If you need not get a new phone right now, then wait. The next gen phones are coming out soon anyways. Well some of them.
Samsung galaxy nexus
i would imo say neither... simply because they are both only SLIGHT upgrades over your current hardware! the desire is now a legacy device with very low dev (again imo) and there is a reson why most HD2 ports come straight from the Nexus.
you and i are in the same boat ... id suggest, as hard as it will be, to continue to hold off on an upgrade. i mean honestly what would you be getting? another half gig of ram amd a front cam ... ooooooo!?! :-D
again these are just my opinions
sorry i was reading through some bong haze and didnt even pay a bit of attention to the OP date lol oops!
