is the N1 the HTC Bravo??? I heard people saying that its the google version of the Bravo and the HTC version should come out in spring. Not at all sure just wanted someone to confirm it. HTC Bravo was only phone with the snap dragon on the 2010 phone leaks so that got me questioning about the N1. Thanks in advance.
think htc named this bad boy the "HTC Passion"
nexus = htc passion = htc bravo
They changed it quite much from the concept model.
Thanks for the info guys, will htc release their own model? Since the concept picture looks way sexier than the N1
N1 is sexier than the concept I think.
Most likely HTC will release their own version of the N1 which will likely have either Sense UI or their new Espresso UI. The specs will most likely stay the same if the Hero and Magic 32A is any indication. Cosmetic features will most likely change as well, but no matter what may happen the HTC Experience version will definatly not have the same cosmetic features as the concept.
I have also read that Google is planning on making a budget version of the N1, which makes me think perhaps it will be similar to the Magic 32B /MT3G was to Magic 32A?
Does anyone know why the Desire got the froyo update first when the Legend actually came out earlier than them?
Because Desire is HTC's flagship, top of the line, finest product would be my guess.
And I don't how heavy 2.2 is to run but Desire comes with the 1GHz Snapdragon CPU and will run a less fine-tuned OS better than the Legend (this is also a wild guess)..
Edit: another reason is the N1, with almoast the same specs as the desire meaning its easyer for htc engineers to modify it for desire.
will the legend ever get the update ?
I sent a question to HTC yesterday, asking when we can expect the update on the legend... This was their answer:
"Android 2.2 (Froyo) update is sent out to customers in waves. This is done so we don’t overload our system. And because of this it may take longer for some of our customers to get it. You can try searching for it by typing the following: Settings -> about phone -> updating systems software -> Search now"
Not sure if she misunderstood me, I specified that I've got a Legend, but I would guess the response could be interpreted as if she thought I've got a Desire. I dunno. I just want the update.

even the EVO got the froyo update ... so i dont think thats the reason ... its probably cause the Desire has a larger user community then the Legend ..
I'm pretty sure we'll get it but we will have to wait until all other phones made in 2010 get it.
Because the Legend has the smallest community.
That's just simply what HTC needs to do, satisfy as much people as fast as possible.
So after all EVO users got there updates it's probably going to be the wildfire who's next and then probably us.
The legend hasn't specifically been named, but they have said that all android devices made in 2010 will get the update in Q3. So the legend will get it, just be patient.
Are you serious that even the Wildfire will get the update earlier than us? This must be the biggest joke ever.
So HTC's strategy is to get the more popular phones updated first and place the less popular ones below?

I dont think the Wildfire will get it before the Legend. The Wildfire is a mass-market low-end device unlike the Legend.
I think the delay is due to addition of new features like Live Wallpapers, as Froyo gives a supposed 450% performance boost that coupled with the same graphics chip as the Nexus One and the Desire should give the Legend a lot of processing power.
I agree. The Wildfire will probably get it before the Legend.
But the Legend will get it before Q4 afaik. Since HTC said all their 2010 devices would.

think on the bright side .. HTC trying to integrate live wallpaper into froyo 2.2 for legend user that why it take so long..
who said wildfire community is bigger than the legend .. i don't think so ...
Are you sure that Legend is getting live wallpapers? Where did you hear that?

I just suppose it is, it is much more price friendly therefore much more in the price tag that most people are looking for.
jonas :
yea right , but still the extra money offers better specifcations and many also will think put the extra money for extra quality ..
but anyway wildfire first or the legend it dosen't matter but the most important thing that they should not forget the legend ..
Its probably easier for HTC to update the Wildfire because of its lower hardware specs.

Yea, probably not.
But no one can know which gets it first.
And if the Wildfire gets FroYo first. It's probably because it's newer. But as said before. All 2010 HTC devices will have FroYo before Q4.
Hopefully.. Never know with HTC.
if the wildfire gets the update i will have no doubt that the legend will get it because of the similir specifcations and hardware ...
I'm getting an evo 4g today but saw the desire hd I know or read that the desire hd isn't coming to US so just wondering if the desire hd sense will be available for the evo anytime soon IMHO I think it will be same specs and everything just want some insight thanks

What do you mean same specs? The Desire HD has 768 MB of RAM (vs. 512 MB in the EVO) and a 2nd Generation Snap Dragon made with a more power efficient 45nm process (vs. 65nm) and significantly better GPU. Not that any of that will prevent the newer sense from running on the EVO, just saying.
I doubt that we will see the newer Sense soon. There's already a new OTA leak going around and that didn't include the new Sense, so it's likely that we won't see it on the next update and who know's how long another update will come after that.
I'm sure the Evo will get it by official or ported means.. its still sprints top device besides the epic, so I'm sure they'll try to keep us updated and happy.

I say we will get it. Our phone is more then capable of handling it (our cpu speed is faster then the new desires). Even if our phones arent the newest HTC devices on Sprint network I bet it will still get it.
It wouldn't make any "sense" no pun for HTC to not update our sense UI. Sprint does not need the new Desire HD it already has one and only a small internal update of the 205 GPU will give us the GPU power the Sammy Hummingbird's have if not better.
We are just in the upswing of more to come so don't be mad what you bought today is outdated in a couple of months. Unless you really need it for game the 1Ghz you have right now in the EVO will handle most apps thrown its way. They will also get better with efficient coding for the apps as well over time so that will help with speeds.
Can't wait for November when I pick up the Desire HD Google voice/text has unified my phones over CDMA so I can play with my phones and not miss a beat. It's like having a SIM CARD virtually
So when I pick up the GSM phone it will get Google Voice/Text on it and all will be right with the world.
IPHONE who? bleh...
I think we are gettin it being HTC evo is HTC's best android device in the states...
I was hoping for Android 3.0
I can see HTC not having a problem giving it to us, but Sprint never seems to be to trust worthy. Hopefully it will just be ported and we can flash it or the awesome devs here will include it in their ROMS.
Freshhh Supersonic EVO 4G = iPhone 4 murderer
hi my phone just got stolen and i have a option of geting a htc legend instead of my wildfire which one would be a better phone?
Legend without a doubt, it's a WAY better phone in every respect. The Wildfire is a budget entry-level phone (but still very good for the price), the Legend is a high-end phone.
Definitely the Legend. I have one, and a friend has the Wildfire. The latter has a really crap screen compared to the Legend which is without a doubt my best phone to date.
Defo Legend. My wife has a wildfire and it's sh!t in comparison tbh
yup, wildfire got too low resolution

Yes, a friend bought the wildfire too, but he isn´t happy with it when he see the Legend and its higher resolution.
And we're still talking MDPI, LDPI is a no go IMO...Legend is legen....wait for it....dary!

Looks like its finally getting a replacement:
Unconfirmed rumours obtained from Pocketnow and a DLNA certificate for the device indicate that the upcoming HTC Kingdom is likely to be sold by Sprint as the HTC Hero 4G. Apparently, there are also indications of the device appearing in the EXIF data on photo-sharing sites.
We came across the HTC Kingdom in early May when a ROM of the device was leaked by the Chinese blog 911sniper. At the time not much was known about the device save for its qHD (540x960px) screen. Later Pocketnow released some updated specs indicating that the HTC Kingdom had a 1.2GHz Qualcomm MSM7630 processor, 768MB RAM, a 5MP camera with 720p video recording, and the device would launch with Android 2.3.3.
The rumours suggest that the HTC Kingdom will be launched by Sprint as the HTC Hero 4G, the carrier to originally launch the 528MHz, 3.2-inch HTC Hero, running one of the earliest Android builds (1.5 Cupcake). The Hero 4G has already passed FCC certification so it is likely we will be seeing the device sooner rather than later.

I just texted my dad that if I fix my hero (digitizer in it is bad) then I will keep it until this phone comes out, if I can't fix it, I'm getting his evo.
Most sources are saying single-core... I hope it's all lies. But then again I wish it could be the 1st triple core phone and be a REAL Hero! I know... I dream too big.
single core is by no means a turn-off to me. Id say given where its likely to be priced, this could be a great replacement for the hero. Sure dual core sounds all well and good, but Im buying a phone for a phone/pda and not a computer replacement.
Sweet ... love the Hero
I love my HTC Hero as well. I'm on the fence about maybe switching to the photon 4g I can get my 2 year upgrade August 1st.
I just flashed/upgraded my Hero for the second time from Froyo to Gingerbread a few weeks ago and I finally think I got all the kinks out worked out. Plus I just told Sprint I would stay with them for another 2 years.
Seeing how the HTC Kingdom would be coming to Sprint as the Hero 4G, this is tempting but I think I will stick with my Hero for a bit longer. I love this phone. When I saw the HTC Legend awhile back I thought that would be my next phone but sadly it was not on Sprint.
I just love the idea of a track ball on a phone that is one of the main reasons why I bought the Hero cause it had a track ball and I didn't want a Blackberry.
Heres hoping Sprint does release more Hero phones in the future maybe with a trackball as well...I just hope the trackball smart phone isn't dead yet and companies make more with trackballs on them.
Why no more word on this since July? Anyone know?

If the specs that leaked are correct its not gonna be one of the best out. I dont think anyone cares about it seeing the 3vo is already out and has better specs.

New name change from Hero 4G to Evo Design 4G
I love the trackball, too. Especially on smallish screens like my current Hero. I think it's dead though, and I doubt we'll see it again primarily because it takes up a lot of space and requires a much bigger bezel which reduces screen size.

The Hero was a pioneer for Androids, HTC has to keep the Hero name alive! I love my Hero, wouldn't mind my next phone being the big brother/sister of my current phone.
When is this out?
