Blackstone, here comes Firestone! - Touch HD General

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.

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

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.

OMG~ Why can't do these sexy hot specs for Diamond? (I don't like the keyboard )
SE X1
this is the HTC version of the SE XPERIA X1, some of the specs are exactly the same, great device none the less
Hi
How big is resolution ?
is it just me or do all these photos look photo shopped? it seems like ive seen all these pics before as just the diamond...
why do the new devices from HTC use all VGA? Available software is mostly optimized for QVGA or am i wrong and all QVGA-Apps also work on this device
I know what PHone i want next now... lol...
when does this come to the US ???
it will probably be out in shops by mid summer
i noticed, sizewise, it's a little smaller than TyTN II
TyTN II is 112x59x19
Diamon Pro is 102x51x18
plus it weighs less: 165 gramms compared to tytn ii 190 g.
This is the perfect upgrade to my mogul
isnt this phone working on cdma only?
as far as I can remmber it is only cdma!
if not
I want 2
the problem is its VGA not QVGA
You guys know how this goes... This phone is a must for me, and as i saw it's kinda same for you. But i'm a poor little guy over here, someone should buy me one
I promise i will tell you how good it is... Mutually beneficial, isn't it?
EDIT: nvm.. changed my mind.. lol
i love the diamond and i was waiting for that but i like the qwerty think i'll go with this bad lad
thinks its only we t-mobile tho and their poo
i know voda is getting the diamond
have to wait and see

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

What do you think?
Not sure where to post this. Move if needed
According to Heise (http://www.heise.de/mobil/meldung/Tablet-Computer-mit-Infrastruktur-fuer-Verlage-961008.html - german!) it's not an Android tablet, but can run android apps via a wrapper.
I'd rather wait for ICD's Nvidia Tegra2 based Vega tablet...
http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/icds-tegra-tablet-officially-dubbed-the-vega-headed-to-t-mobil/
I'll have a look at it, thanks for the link
it's so Beautiful!~
There is also this, Enso Zenpad, Its a 5" resistive touch, android 1.6, samsung 667mhz, 256mb ram, 1gb inbuilt, up to 32gb microSD (8gb Included)..
Looks like a nice little device, and its only $150! (£102)

Uhh, but we're talking about Tablet PC's. </sarcasm>
Notion Ink Adam, all the way. Noone will be able to beat this one when it comes to the display...
looks small (next to the pics of WePad and T-Mobile Vega / Tegra)
http://www.technoholik.com/news/exclusive-a-sneak-peek-at-the-notion-ink-adam-tablet-specs-pics/
And the display really rocks... I have an OLPC, which has a similiar display. I wish I could get that screen for my thinkpad.

Most the tech sites are saying this pic is fake. Google has asked manufacturers to no longer use hard or capacitative buttons as ICS will use soft buttons. Not sure if thats true or not but the consensus is that this pic is not real
Highly doubt its the final product its touchwiz 4 without the changes they had to make because of the whole patent war... Doesnt make any sense... Also the picture looks shopped if check up closely.
I hope it's a fake because this phone is fugly.
fake and we don't give a ****... these GS III threads are getting stupid...
This is FUGLY
LOOKS LIKE ANY OTHER HTC PHONE (No offence but HTC phones especially the back is so disgusting...)
I really hope its fake. The design is so 2010

Installing AW on a HP Veer

I got a Veer laying around doing nothing, but since its pretty small I was thinking about installing AW on it. There were a couple android builds for it an it ran wheel but the small screen made it a pain to use. The problem here is getting AW to work on it.

It has a snapdragon S2 MSM7230 and 512MB of RAM which is not that far from the Gwatch, maybe I could use a build from that one?. Problem could be the screen which is 320 x 400 pixels, while all the other AW watches have a 1:1 ratio with resolutions of 280x280 or 320x320.
I don't expect the qwerty keyboard to work but I would like the mic and speaker so I can write messages and stuff. I think it had NFC but I don't know if that and cameras are supported by AW yet.
Anyone got a Veer too? you can pick one for next to nothing.

I'd be interested on Android Wear on the HP Veer too!
I love my veer from the first sight and If there would be a whatsapp messenger, I would use it forever.
So please, let it happen!!!
http://forums.webosnation.com/hp-veer/328606-android-veer-rooted-play-store-etc.html
It appears work has been done to put Android on the Veer. Now, the real question is, how recent a build can we load? 4.4 full only asked for 512MB of RAM, apparently, so the possibility of running Wear is more than likely, given even now, most of the popular Wear watches still use 512 (with only the ones with a mobile radio asking for 768MB).
This is also noting some existing ROMs. There was Quattrimus CyanogenMod 9 which basically got ICS to work on a variety of low-end LG devices, with only 256MB of RAM. So if you can get a source of AW and just work with some of the drivers on the Veer, it should be possible to patch things up and get most everything working.
A few curiosities though...
Does AW require Bluetooth 4.0 LE? Would it be able to use the wi-fi for Cloud Sync? Would AW be able to run low energy enough for the Veer? Is the chipset efficient enough to do it?
