HTC's hipsteriffic invitations for a June 24th event in London contained precious few clues (DUDE'S WEARING A ROSE), but the Economic Daily News is now reporting something totally reasonable: it's for the Hero and Lancaster, HTC's presumed next Android phones.
Curiously, the paper refers to the two phones as one device, in two versions differentiated only by a keyboard.
The HTC Hero will be available in two versions, with and without a QWERTY keyboard. The model with a keyboard will be named HTC Memphis, or HTC Lancaster for sale by AT&T exclusively in the US for six months starting the third quarter, the paper indicated.
It certainly looks like there'll be a bit more than that to set the devices apart, and for the sake of variety, I hope there is. In any case, we'll be there. [Economic Daily News via Digitimes]

Looks like we won't be getting the Hero, or we have to wait until after the 6 months AT&T has it exclusively?

that phone is UGLY!! the mytouch 3g or what ever their calling it . looks way better

The version without the keyboard will probably be Hero, since the Lancaster is the one for AT&T.

how about this one?
http://ow.ly/b3EG

Anyone noticed that at least the Lancaster version has only a 240x320 display?
If this is also true for the HTC Hero version, it would be a clear disadvantage.

Did you bother to read it? Nowhere does it say that android is available for the HD2 from HTC. It's just some shop in the UK that is offering the option. They don't mention that they are voiding the factory warranty while they are doing it though.

spam. ban this guy.

SPAM???

Maybe it is a shop selling the phone whit a hack job install.
I saw it while playing on my new dual boot hd2 with android last night and thought it might be worth looking into by some of the xda experts. Ban me if you want, just telling you what I saw.
I'd post a pic of it here but can't even figure out how!!

Considering it's running off an SD Card and doesn't touch the NAND I really don't see how this would void any warranty.

All the link says is that you can install Android. And it's got the potential to 'provide a ɡrеаt boost tο thе sale οf thеѕе HTC HD2 contracts аnԁ thе pay аѕ уου ɡο mobile phones.', nowhere does it say it comes pre-loaded or you can buy a dualboot option.

10.1 Only a few days away from launch??

So this evening I was browsing my Facebook when I noticed a comment made by Samsung Mobile. Here is their post:
"What is 10.1 inches of Android 3.0 Honeycomb delight? Only a few days away from launch! Sign up NOW for the LATEST info - http://pub.vitrue.com/HNs"
Here is a direct link to the page:
https://www.facebook.com/SamsungMobileUSA
Hopefully we will get some more information about price, etc. Would also like to know if Best Buy will be selling tablet on launch. (Sure they will, but would like confirmation)
I didn't see this posted anywhere on the forums including AndroidCentral.... hope this helps!

Well, nevermind I guess. When I read that post, I interpreted "few days" as just three or four days. I understand the launch date was supposedly confirmed for June 8th, but that's a little more then a "few days" .... would have been better worded as a couple of weeks.
Was hoping this was referencing to an early launch date.

15 is the new 3.

Well this might effect the official launch of the 10.1 and 8.9 and other samsung galaxy items

I think there is a zero chance of Apple being able to postpone Samsung's product launch.
Though Samsung could delay their own launch if they don't have 3.1 quite ready or are trying to get TouchWiz on at the last minute or something or some other last minute tweak. Kinda worried they canceled the May 24th event.

Possibly real photo of the Galaxy S3's final design!?

I found this at www.sammobile.com!
Look at it:

Oh my god, its BEAUTIFUL! Just look at that design .. ! Imagine that beauty with the next exynos processor, a HD resolution, 1.5 Gig of ram and who know what else..
What do you think?
Sammobile's thread says this:
"The picture above could be true for several reasons: Weber Shandwick is one (or even the) largest PR agency in the world, including here in Germany, Weber Shandwick operates in several sectors, along with Samsung. (This is also very good, I made ​​the best possible experience with those so far). The picture could also originate from an internal document at Weber Shandwick, which to hold a Unpacked event on intended to holdon May 22nd!
So what can we see if we take a clo.es look at this picture. To start with the bezel it is really really small!
We see a shutter-button for the camera FINALLY.
Besides, the design fits the Galaxy S3. Loudspeaker front, above and below the display- a perfect match to the current design line from Samsung. Look at the Galaxy S WiFi4.2 or 1.10 of the Galaxy note, both are the display next to the speakers!
If true, the picture above, it also directly teaser unpacked a Samsung event for 22 May in London - in my opinion, very likely. On 22 May announce where a few weeks later, the Olympic Games will begin to quickly put on the market on time and to have the Olympic Games 2012 Samsung Galaxy S3 in the shops. In my view, could vote at Reddit surfaced image that is so loose - I hope even on it. Then you would have a date and place, I can plunder my account for the plane and the speculation goes in another direction!
May 22nd is the approximate date that the London Olympic Torch Relay starts – of which Samsung are a major sponsor – so this date and event in London make total sense.

Update 11:05
Eldar Murtazin (Russian tech blogger) SGS3 is different but thats one is closest to final design
What do you think of its design leave a comment below.

There's already a dedicated thread for SIII discussion. No need to start a new one when the picture was already posted in there...

I'm a typical female blonde that needs some HD2 help

Can you help me please, as I don't really know about these things.
I found a HD2 on eBay UK, number: 160877136223 - I can't add a link as xda doesn't allow it.
My partners HD2 started failing about a month ago and thought I'd buy her a new one.
What do you think? Bargain? x

Looks good & clean, how much is it if it's this one http://tinyurl.com/96j2tuq
have you considered other models? why the HD2 again?

Its a great phone and it looks good grats!

Thanks mengfei that's the one (as your link shows) and currently only for eBay bidding/auction style only, so only time will tell how much I get it for, as most of the others are either heavily used or terrible sales lots. I've contacted the seller, who has been very friendly and and will happily allow me to collect it from him, as I'm local to his location in East London.
My partner always goes on about how good her HD2 is and (from what I remember) switches between Windows and Android often. I've been using a Huawei Ascend G300 for about a month now and though it's brilliant, her HD2 (when it worked) still would do better, so a new one would be best I feel.
The bids are still very low for it and the additional accessories will go down a treat for me, lol!
Does xda have a G300 forum, as I have some questions about it?

Actually it really a good phone no wait it's a Legendary phone the HD2!
with so may custom ROMs out there & yes you can even dual boot from it.
IF you can get it brand new at around $230 then it's a good buy since used ones go for around $150

http://tinyurl.com/96j2tuq
Thanks mengfei, the phone is new, has all basic accessories, some warranty even and more bits. It's currently still at a very low price, includes free recorded delivery and only a few hours left!! So I'm very hopeful to get at a bargain!!
Wish me luck everyone

Hey! If u want to buy this phone, and if u like this phone; don't put urself in a standarts like "typical female blonde" u r extraordinary person. U'll feel it when u have the legend believe me. (my english is bad sorry ^^)
