the new HTC universal predecessor ???

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_shift_umpc_revealed-news-262.php
i dont know about you guys, but this device from HTC is a must have, forget WM6, this beast has windows vista, this is a whole new ballgame for HTC
woo hoo..
what do you guys think??

Well we pretty much already said what we wanted to say about it in this thread

oh bugger, i didnt see that, sorry chaps.

Also the thing that comes afterwards is called a successor - a predecessor comes before

Obviously not as he posted the question!!!
Seriously.... Click Search then click 'Or use the built-in forum search'... Then in the keyword box... Try iPhone or iPhone icons... Then select the 'Themes, Applications and Software' from the forums.
Give it a try, you might surprise yourself!

Besides not searching he made me throw up on my screen, which I had to clean for the past couple of hours, since my breakfast went through the cracks and into the screen its self Not very nice to smell rotten apples in the morning.

HTC Rep Erin Lin Verifies That HTC Will Not Manufacture X2 or X3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF7Nvh5YCK8

I died a little inside........

Pretty much as had been previously rumored, though.
EDIT: but yeah, you're right - it's always good to have the official statement. Just saying that it's not a total surprise

Just to make it clear though, right.
I heard the rumors, I read the articles, I just need an actual representative to verify it

I was hoping till the last moment....

No HTC means, no XDA .

I think since last december it's officialy known, that SE ended contract with HTC due to lack of.. at HTC.. Well don't wanna blame HTC here, but they fu*ked up something with X1

Yes but who can actually say that the new manufacturer for X2 and X3 will not be worth than HTC?

We cannot really say that, maybe some insider. Anyway, hope remains!
No HTC no Xda dev is the saddest thing actually!

Oh, the irony....

ok i finally sat thru the grueling 16 min interview.. seriously .. did they call this guy outa the tatoo shop to do the interview? wtf... if he can get a job bein an HTC rep.. **** i can too! hell i have WAY better people skills than this guy.. looks like he's gonna flip a 10 and beat the **** outa the guy askin questions.. haha
edit: omfg he has a creeeeepy laugh..."FAR FAR AWAY FROM YOU HAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAA HAHAHAHAA HAHAHAHAHAAHAH ONLY ALLOWED IN THE FRONT OF BUILDING SO WE CAN TAKLE YOU HAHAHAHAH AAAAHHHH AHAHAHAH AHAHAHHAAHHAHA AHAH.. cuts to a more serious note... that dude is bi-polar.. or so the video makes him seem
edit2: ok seriously the guy asks if toucflo will be sold to 3rd parties.. what a dumb ****ing question.. how about instead when will HTC be bringing the sense UI to winmobile devices!? that'd have been a better question imo.. but not everyone has the luxury of 2020 hindsight

lol calm down hes a nice guy

oh yea with a look like that he'd have to be. just to survive people's first impressions

Totally agreed.

The next Xperia even if it dont has a good design is a hardware upgrade of x1 with a lot of nice stuff like tv out, bigger screen accelleration sensor and so on.
It looks like also that it will have the same cpu like the x1 and that mean that we can run every XPERIA X1 ROM also on the next XPERIA Phone. For sure it would be also cheaper and would have a better quallity as we know it from se.
I dont know exactly why people say such bad things about the next xperia.
It looks like they dont understand some things.
If i had to buy a new phone the new Xperia and not the old Xperia would be one of my first choices.

If that is true, then it looks incredibly cheap and tacky!

Winmo7 with HTC sense over the top to make it look half decent again lol

looks like microsoft are trying to make the today screen look like a bog standard phone so as not to scare away people who have never used windows mobile previously.
if that home screen isnt customisable then ill eat my hat.

Not sure anyone has view this interview before :

Ok this is very weird!
Over at one of the biggest gadget site's engagdet.com people are very positive about this! I come to XDA, then I see this. Why are you so negative??
IMO, this at least shows they are going a NEW way with WM7. I am really really excited about this.. just 2,5 hours left!

Yeah tell me about man, sometimes I find people here at XDA nag alot... You havent even see it in action yet. Wait until we see whats under that main ui...

not realy surprising as engadget are a bit more geared towards out the box use as opposed to xdev's hands on approach...

I think it look great.

Yeah but I think its better first to know whats past the home screen, what functions and services it offers etc. etc. All we got here really is a big picture on a wall... and people already giving it the finger...
Engadget havent lifted it from the box yet nor have any xdevs been on the aproach...

Nice. The lack of a gazilion tiny task-specific buttons indicates that WM 7 is gonna have a real touch-based interface. I like that.

very nice interface

I want that for my HD2
IMHO - that looks really nice - now I just hope that it will be made available for the HD2...

Ugly as hell. Gonna wait for the official presentation before drawing any conclusions though.

yup..same here....
far too many rumours and photoshopped stuff going around these days. easy to get excited and think that a lot of stuff is coming, only to find out it was a fake or was removed from the final released version.

As long as it's configurable (i.e.: I can get rid of it!), the interface doesn't bother me.

I'm just bored of rumour this, rumour that. I'd rather see it working than a print on a wall.

Loved the UI! Exactly what I was expecting! Its the User Experience that matters rather than the User Interface! And MS has done that this time!
Around half and hr to go now! Lets wait and watch!

Hold your horses... Maybe it's the WM6.6... ?

Damn people ...
Take it easy guys till Microsoft shows this thing, .... I think the preview looks good. lets hope there is more to it than that tho!

Justin Bieber uses the HTC HD2?

What do you think looking from the pic?
Do you know of any other celebrities that uses the powerhouse known as the HTC hd2 or have they been bribed by Apple?
Please let me know what you think...

This is not an HD2, imo. The little chrome-thingy at the side is not present at an HD2, and the part of the housing above the battery cover is too slim.

looks more like a blackberry to me with the logo at the middle on the back

great now i have to burn this phone.
actually that looks like a blackberry storm 2.

Thank god its not an HD2 I was about to throw mine as far away as I could

How does that look like an HD2 to you?
It's definitely a storm.

its definetly NO hd2
if the others say its a storm, its a storm
thats logical, isnt it? =)

thank god! .... i don´t have to burn, smash and vaporize my HD2 ...
... or run against these strange "doorthings" ...

At a quick glance it does have the same black trim with an HD2 like battery cover, and the size looks convincing.... But I can say 100% it is a Blackberry. 3 things tip it off.
1. Wrong shape and size for the camera
2. The phone is branded Verizon on the bottom by his finger (the Verizon symbol is visible on a large screen HDTV and zoomed in).
3. His hands would be too small to hold an HD2... Just kidding The top symbol is the Blackberry logo.
And the answer is: a Blackberry Storm 2, and not his! He was given the phone with the pre programed number in it for the Jimmy Kimmel show. He owns an iPhone as seen many times in public and even recently. If you think about it, isn't the iPhone more of a kids phone as most apps and games are geared for a younger crowd?
Just for the record, I don't follow him or claim to like his music (although he is much better than Soulja Boy... Actualy anything is better than Soulja Boy) I just wanted to put this post to rest and hopefully get J.B. off the first page.

Thanks god it is not HD2 =) She needs iPhone as every 13year old girl.

"justin bieber" i just had to google that, now when my GF looks at thew computer history she is gonna think im into **** music :'(

Who really cares about what celebrity is using which phone?The most important people for me as far as phone issues are those great cooks and editors of this great forum.They make things happen for us and rock our devices while the celebrities only get drunk and show us their "shinny pants".

Thanks for clearing up the confusion it's just that while I was watching the the video clip and the size of the phone seemed to point towards the HTC HD2.
And btw I'm younger than Bieber by a month and love the HTC HD2, whilst my friends play 'falldown' and 'doodle jump' Im busy fragging zombies on Medieval using FPSece

Calm down mate, just a bit of curiosity nothing else,
someone's obviously a huge Bieber fan, nudge nudge wink wink

Why is he famous again?

if it was an HD2 it would have completely covered that whole side of his girly face

Garbage phone to match his garbage music
