Discussing this on the End of Life thread....

I do hope they put in a faster processor.
I think they took all the buttons away this time.

Haha... and good drivers for this chip

Any news of this from MWC2009?

To be honest, because of the low sales of the X7510, they are not going to change anything in the new version just so they can get rid of their excess hardware stock. I feel they will only upgrade the following:
Capacitive screen
Bigger resolution
Bigger ROM and RAM
and the rest stays the same...
Just look at what they did with the new HTC Touch PRO 2. Nothing new, still the same old device with a few changes. No big leaps...nothing...

Maybe we can hope that we get hold of a new ROM that the cooks might be able to tweak for our existing devices?

HTV Thoth
The HTC Advantage 4 will be the coolest device ever. It has time travel something like the Apple Time Machine. 3D hologram chat, which means you can see your girlfriend live in front of you. An option to dump windows OS for Apple iphone OS. 15 million pixel camera, a laser beam to defend yourself like Star Wars.
Please place your orders with HTC right now.

greatestkelvin
Ha-ha-ha, cool!

Thoth: More info, 09-2009 release date?
The big news (rumored, not confirmed) is that the processor and RAM/ROM will be upgraded:
HTC 7500/7501/7510 http://www.htcwiki.com/page/Athena?t=anon :
Processor: 624 MHz, Intel PXA270
RAM: 128 MB
ROM: 256 MB
Thoth:
Processor: 1GMHz Qualcomm 8250
RAM: 256 MB
ROM: 512 MB
Additionally, 5.0MP camera, and 480x800 screen.
Still no word on SSD, but I would estimate at least 32GB, but hoping for 64GB!

Here are some links on the Qualcomm Snapdragon capabilities, sound very promising in terms of video performance!

Let's cross our fingers that HTC won't try and screw something up. They always do in the end. So I guess we will have to wait.

pre-ordering Athena 2 aka Thoth
Where can you place a pre-order?

Any news/info about the Thoth/Athena 2?
I can't found at FCC site.

Hopefully something will be released soon:
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/06/02/htc-showing-some-new-stuff-in-london-on-june-24/

Thoth isn't dead yet...
Here are some recent rumors (same info, from different sites):
http://www.modaco.com/content/windo...thoth-and-omni-may-be-more-than-just-renders/
http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/HTC...ing-on-the-Thoth-and-Omni-article-a_7289.html
http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=8549
All very tenuous so far. Looks like nothing until 2010...

I hope they release a clamshell device.

If you look at the way HTC's site is configured, it is set up for:
Touch
Touch/type
type only
Since the Athena is touch/type I doubt it be a clamshell, but there are other devices that may be like the Shift

They really should resume development of the Thoth, it seems its time has really come now with the release of the Apple iPad, the Amazon kindle, the Dell mini 5 or even the Samsung mondi, it seems everyone is racing to fill in that sweet spot between maximum portability and capability.
As far as I see it, the htc athena / advantage was years ahead of its time, and consumer demand is only now beginning to catch up with these sort of toss it on the couch when your done surfing the web type devices.
And with Fennec, aka Firefox Mobile about to be released in a few months, with full desktop style youtube and google video support, it will be prime time for the Thoth to establish itself as the original iPad, Kindle, Mini 5, and Slate Pc killer.
C'mon HTC: don't miss out on this opportunity.

I've had my T-Mob HD2 for about a week now, and I can tell you that no other phone compares to the spped of this thing... And Yes Transformers are just video files, mpg I think, and I can't wait for Android to get ported over because I know it'll be the best on this device. I just switched from a TP2..

Sorry, i cant give u the link (must be verified by the moderators?). There are not that many threads in this forum. Just look for a topic named: "What kind of dispaly tech does droid x have? " =)

For people that want tech specs, google motodev droid x. I would post the link, but I can't because I'm a new user.

thought the processor was a ti omap 3630 not the 3430. the 3430 is basically what the droid has

It is a 3630. TI OMAP3630-1000 to be exact. I think your referring to the "Droid 2" which has the slide out keyboard. Droid X isn't a follow up to the original Droid; it's is to compete with HTC's Evo.

I'm disappointed that it will only shoot 720p at 24 fps, but as long as it's a rock solid 24fps, I can live with it.

Yep, here's the official spec page:
http://developer.motorola.com/products/droidx/
So is it safe to assume that this will use the same SGX530 GPU used with the OMAP3430 in the Droid? Wouldn't be a bad thing IMHO.

just read that the 8 gigs of enternal memory is all for rom and app storage. no need for a2sd. just read on motodev that the 16gb sdcard is class6 just hoping the bus speed on the sdcard isnt as low as the droid

Optimus is a great budget Android phone that can, in the sense of hardware platform, be an wonderfull assset in the Android mod community if only someone could provide a legit custom rom. That would be a lot of fun for Optimus owners including myself. So sure we must add an Optimus sub forum modding thingy.

I am voting yes! As this is much needed as o think the gt540 will get popular.
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App

yesssss we need a forum

I like the range of options in the poll: yes,yes, and maybe. Don't get me wrong I voted yes (bigger community is always better I don't believe in fragmentation lol) but thats not much of a poll if it only says 1 thing.

the only fail is a resistive touchscreen

Yeah its resistive but it works flawlessly ! Voted hell YES !

yes love tihs phone

First Vote from me... Absolutely!

Yes please... +1

Hopefully, as an affordable alternative to the more expensive android phones, this phone (San Francisco/Blade) will have a large following. I for one, as an ex HTC Hero owner, have been impressed so far by it's capabilities, and would like to find out more and more and more.

I hope some day we will have our sub forum for SF/blade. Praying to god

As Future Owner i say Yes..

I say yes too!
Has 512MB RAM, too.

I talked my daughter into buying one and she's really impressed - Screen looks as impressive as my Desire (only 0.2" smaller but still OLED) The phone works well. A little laggy and you have to turn down the FPS on most live wallpapers (mario especially). Its a cracking little phone - £99 and you get gps, wifi, hsdpa, OLED, Android 2.1, proximity sensor, g sensors and a light sensor!
Another well known forum has already released custom firmware for it too and it only costs $4 to unlock to any network too....
As a budget phone - theres nothing out there that comes even close at that price... I imagine the ZTE Blade / Orange San Francisco to be one of the better selling phones of Q4 2010...
Heck - I'm tempted to get one for my youngest daughter but the wife says she's too young for a phone (she's 6)...

Oh - the internal memory - although its quoted as 150mb, my daughter kills all apps and gets 238mb available - and she's still got loads of orange junk on hers (until i flash it for her)
It is reported elsewhere as having 512mb internal memory...

If I can get my hands on one - hell yes

Please make a section for this, i think its going to be a big seller and very popular.

great phone +1

I'm also thinking about purchasing one of these in the future. A forum for this phone would be great, especially if people start cooking new roms. May be time to switch from WM6.5. Old wizard and Hermes are getting a bit tired.

It says it's for a Bluebelt but the code is the same for the ZTE Blade. It has been tested succesfully by dozens of people at MoDaCo.

Yes i would say it deserves its own space as ive just bought one today for my wife (cheaper than desire (which I have ) smaller and will do everything she needs

Yes Absolutely.
This is a budget phone. whoever want to custom or learn to custom ROM android could start from here.
I think it should has own space.

Oh the Blade so deserves its own forum on XDA ...please!

Oh yes please. The Blade provides such an excellent upgrade path from the G1...

Yes to its own forum.
