It seems a good successor for our magician, ways better than MDA Compact II; miniSD slot however it's a great disadvantage!
Bye

What is the biggest size of mini-SD ? 512 MB ? 1024 MB ?
Which one will you buy ? ATOM or WIZARD ? and WHY ?

I won't buy a Wizard, too fat, too slow, and I don't need a wobbly keyboard.
I may buy the Atom because small size is 75% of what I'm looking for in a PPC phone. The Atom appears to be the smallest device with the most screen real estate possible. Eventually future models will get even thinner. I'll wait for a few reviews before taking the plunge. Meanwhile my Jam works just fine.

416MHz? The same as the Magician? Does this mean ROM compatibility?

My old Pentium II at school had a 400MHz CPU too but i don't think it was ROM-compatible with our magician!!!
But we can cross our fingers...
Bye bye,
Isidoro

CPU is the same (Intel PXA272 416MHz) but since the manufacturing company is different (Quanta instead of HTC), I doubt that the rest of the hardware is the same. Different hardware => different drivers => different ROMs :'(

According to mobile-review.com, the camera is not 2.0 Megapixel at all. It is the exact same old crapola camera with "software enhancement"/interpolation/whatever.
Other than that, the specs look good. Hopefully its a decent one.

The specifications say that it is a 2 MP CMOS Camera. The CMOS implies that it is not software interpolation. However, as has been said may times, 2MP guarantees size but not quality!

CMOS refers to a type of sensor - its nothing to do with the size of it (megapixels). The digital camera world is notorious for including these misleading "interpolation" specs as the specs of the lens, then explaining it in fine print elsewhere.
If this model features the same camera/lens as is found in the Wizard, then its a 1.3MP camera. Read here:
From: http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/htc-wizard-en.shtml
The camera has the maximum physical resolution of 1.3 megapixel (1280x1024). At the same time "software" resolution is 2 megapixel by interpolating the initial image. There is no sense in such resolution (by this means the camera doesn't become a 2-megapixel one, the image quality isn't better), it's just a psychological thing

If its clearly known that this in the Atom is an entire different lens fromw hat is found in the sister models, that's one thing - okay. But given that these are all essentially mix-and-match models, built on the same generation, of the same platform, honestly I wouldn't hold your breath on that.

cmos is the camera ppc and nokia etc phones use (cause it uses less power) teh digital cameras have ccd (or something like this )lenses
the ccd camera of 1.3 megs resolution is better than cmos 1.3 camera
so dont hold your breath for the cmos 1.3 camera on the ATOM

I'm with you completely on this. What I meant is that usually when they say "2MP CMOS" they mean that the CMOS sensor is capable of reading 2MP.
When the resolution is interpolated they would say something like 2MP (1.3MP CMOS).
But this depends on how honest the company wants to be. It can be very misleading!

HTC HD3 Specs

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/32068/htc-hd3-windows-phone-7
According to our tipster, who also happens to run his own website, the HTC HD3 will come with a massive
4.5-inch AMOLED screen with 1280 × 800 resolution, 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 1080p HD
video playback, 720p HD video recording, 8-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash, WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G
connectivity, 4G connectivity for blisteringly fast downloads that are over ten times as fast as today’s
HSDPA phones, 1GB onboard RAM, 32GB external memory, 3.5-inch headphone jack, and HDMI output
for connecting to your HDTV or monitor.

i agree ¬¬'

Definitely. Would be good though

With anything larger than 4.3" screen, the device would really begin to become uncomfortable to use. Even as much as I like the screen on the HD2, sometimes it feels gigantic for 1 hand functions. Those specs sound more like a tablet than a phone.

Where can I preorder ?

Hey man! That sounds so plausible, but it's not actually true. I got the HD3 specs from my mate, Mr. Taiwanese who works for HTC and he's got a HD3.
The real specs are...

FCC Class FCC Class B, Home Use

So false it's funny
The "original" news source reports a leaflet with the size of the device. 65mm*115mm*10mm. I can easily suppose there's potential to make it even thinner, but there's no way it can be smaller with a bigger screen.

Loving the "more big" scribbles on the picture ... lol

1280 × 800 resolution is not supported in 7 Series, from what I have heard.
And I don't think they will launch the HD3 with WM 6.5.3. ROFL
Either the Resolution is wrong/fake, or this whole rumor = BS.
EDIT: Is 1280 × 800 resolution supported in 6.5.3 btw? Wait... Argh, I am wasting my time...

Yep, would be going down the iPad direction, to big for its use. The HD2 size is as big as I would want a mobile phone to be.

On the 'tipster' link which goes to the "source of the information" (http://mobilementalism.com/2010/03/15/leaked-pics-and-specs-of-htc-hd3-one-word-stunning/) there are a few pictures and one is a low quality list of specifications...
On this picture (http://mobilementalism.com/imageSnag/3768-4b9e890364290.jpg) note the words:
Front camera: video call
Show me the front camera on any of the included pictures...
Blatent crock of <censored>!
(sighes, shakes head and sighes again)

I like how it says As you can see from the pics, it’s the real deal – it’s definitely not vapourware.

Cant believe no one has picked up on the fact that those specs say "32GB external memory".
Windows Phone 7 series has no removable storage support.
FAIL

and about 30 minutes of battery life...

Let´s face it: if HTC builds the HD3 we don´t need that crappy WM7 which is of no good for nuthin`, just for stups that are barely able to handle an iPhone.
HD3 should run a stripped version of WinXP, cause with the roumored specs it plays the same league as Sony VAIO P, only better

the specs are slightly fake as it does say 32GB external memory which isn't allowed...for WM7 phones

Actually, apart from the screen, those specs seem quite similar to those of the HTC EVO.

It should have 32gb built in mem like the iPhone
why HTC doesnt do that ?

EVO 2... what would u add? or remove

so if we actually do get an EVO 2 this summer, what more can we get on this phone to make it either a industry changer or a big hit.
i say
- remove the touch buttons we already have and expand the screen vertically while not having to enlarge the actual phone.. that way we are ready for honeycomb (or what ever the phone version OS is gonna be called)
- move the audio jack to the bottom of the phone
- way better battery life (even if it means thickening
the phone for a bigger battery)
- better hd video recording
- more internal memory and ram
- better display
- gorilla glass
last but not least
- quad processor ( might be exagerating dual should
be fine)
and maybe a few more things i can't think of right now
what do u guys want on this phone
s
ps: im broke but wouldn't mind paying $300 on a new contract for these upgrades.
ent from my EvoKnevil

Same form as the EVO, maybe closer to the Thunderbolt.
dual core
better GPU (MUCH BETTER)
at least a gig of RAM
a few gigs of ROM
4.3" Super LCD (please god don't let it have an amoled!)
higher res
That's it, I'm easy to please.

I'd love to have a SLCD, Gorilla Glass and either the headphone jack on the bottom or USB port on the top (just as long as they're together, I thought that was a great idea on the Galaxy S) but I don't agree with getting rid of the buttons. Even when they merge the tablet and phone branches of Android, I doubt the phone version will have the same virtual buttons. I could be wrong but I just don't see it happening.
We should hear something from HTC either at MWC next week (Feb 14-17) or CTIA next month (Mar 22-24). The EVO was officially announced during CTIA last year so that could be when Sprint announces its successor.

move the Micro sd card location

1. the new snapdragons
2. dual core
3. honeycomb AOSP
4. 5 inch SLCD/SAMOLED
5. full hdmi out
6. the laptop type dock (like the atrix)
7. 32gb inbuilt memory as well as sd card support
8. NFC
Sort of like dell streak, evo, and atrix combined into one big package, oh and with honeycomb :x

+1 for sure.

Even just one of these
-better battery life
-dual core
-put the usb port on the side of the phone maybe about 1/4 from the top or in the middle so that when you hold it horizontally the cable isn't between your fingers. Grrr, I hate that

-Dual-core processor for sure, maybe 1GHz but with the same performance as the Shift's.
-Honestly, the form factor of the Evo is quite well done, wouldn't change much, unless it's a bit thicker for a better battery.
-A better way to access the microSD.
-More internal ROM/RAM.
-NFC for sure, it's going to take over the world...
-(if there's room) a full-sized HDMI-out adapter.
-(and by extension) the GPU to support such a thing.
-Rooting without voiding warranties, plus RA Recovery manager built-in by default. [/sarcasm] (like that'll ever happen)

- Bigger battery (like twice capacity)
- GPU
- Amoled screen and gorilla glass
- same size screen or bigger ( I could never go smaller now)
- keep the kickstand
Sent from my device.

-NFC
-Noice Cancelling Mic
-Better Speaker
-Better Placement of camera
-Fix light leakage issues
-Higher Mega Pixel FFC
-Slide out Keyboard
-Unibody design
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

For those times when one is not enough.
What would I like?
1) 32 or 22 nm multicore low energy processor.
2) dual 4.5" screens - sliding a thin secondary screen.
from under the main. For those times when one is not enough.
3) ability to piggy back a battery pack. For those times when one is
not enough.
4) full bridge between wifi and service provider (Sprint). For those
times when one is not enough
OK imagine a pocket super "connector".

Lots of good ideas here.
Unfortunately I won't be getting an Evo 2 this summer (at a discounted price anyways) because Sprint downgraded my yearly upgrade perk.
That being the case, anyone want to guess what the Evo 3 (hopefully with a June 2012 release date) will be like?
Sent from my Evo using XDA App

moar gggggs!

how about a high quality build.

All these suggestions are great. In addition it would be great to have a kickstand that works for portrait and landscape imo.

Dual Core
3D screen
12 Mega pixel camera
3 mega pixel front camera
32 GB SD card
Projector capabilities

same size, but more pixels
dual core...
gpu, or something for better graphics
better hardware and software wich can make the battery last way longer
keep the 8m pixels in the rear camera, shake stability, etc
the evo has so much, why not add the ability to act as a desktop and just connect it to a screen, mouse and keyboard

I like the above, but also:
- better camera quality (not more megapixels, we have plenty); we need better image processing (software) and/or better sensor, cause what we have now sucks; it gives 8 megapixels a bad rep
- better GPU
- SLCD screen at higher resolution
- better battery management (i think 1500 is big enough, we can get it to work leaner)
- dual core processor
- ports (headphone/usb) on same side as others have said
- don't care about HDMI out, we'll be streaming wirelessly soon enough
I really think that all phones these days of superphone caliber should have noise cancelling mics, it's huge for talk quality.
my 0.02

The only things I care about are as follows.
1. Battery life (if this comes about by a low power consumption dual core, that's fine)
2. A better camera with a lens that isn't exposed.
By better camera, I don't mean more megapixels. Megapixels don't mean jack if the quality sucks. We have an 8mp camera that takes noisy, nasty pictures. I want a camera at least on par with the iPhone. I don't care if it's 3.2mp, make the quality better and THEN worry about MP.

Same form factor, or perhaps 4.5" max SLCD screen w/ gorilla glass
Tegra 2
HDMI out - mirror mode
Better battery life (I'd be happy with 50% better life)
Dual external speakers like Touch Pro 2
Dual mics for noise cancellation
Higher quality construction (metal body would be nice)
Stop the megapixel race with cam..... improve IQ by implementing better image sensor, overhaul image capture software. Make flash usuable in low light situations by increasing shutter speed and decreasing overexposed photos.
Better audio output via 3.5mm jack *lounder, cleaner*
Make internal FM radio antenna which can be used without headphones
NFC
More memory and support for SDXC.

What would be your perfect phone

Please say something reasonable and not a 16core
4"-4.1" SLCD screen
Latest android update
Dual core CPU
Sleek phone
GOOD GPU FOR ONCE
Sprint
Its called evo 2
8mpx camera. Must be better then the evo's ****ty camera.
HDMI out
Lte 4g
Better battery life
WBU?
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.

The Evo, maybe with the touch buttons a little lower and thus the screen a little bigger to fill that area.
With a dual-core tegra 2 and the fastest GPU out there with 16 GB ROM, 2 GB RAM.
Maybe a bigger battery if possible too.
Couldn't imagine a better phone.

The GPU is already built into the CPU. You can't have a Tegra 2 and a separate GPU.

Correct, I should have left out the "tegra 2" part when I was speaking of dual-core.

Whatever it takes to make everyone happy so I don't have to read thread after thread after thread after thread after thread of people *****ing and moaning and whining and crying about why this phone sux and why that phone sux and why some futuristic yet to be developed technology isn't already in people's phones they bought last year. I guess it'd need to be equipped with a time machine so the phone can go into the future and equip itself with new technologies and then come back to present day. Oh, and it'd have to be sold by a brand new carrier since all US carriers suck so bad... and it'd need to be free.

What will realistic Project Ara phone be and what price will you pay?

Hello,
With this being talked about now, what will your realistic Project Ara phone have?
Mine is pretty simple:
Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 2.3GHz
Adreno 330 450MHz
2 GB RAM
3.8 V 2300 mAh, 8 Wh, Qi wireless charging
Slide out QWERTY physical keyboard
4.96 in (126 mm) diagonal IPS LCD with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 (1080×1920 px (444 ppi))
8 MP with OIS, f/2.4 aperture and Xenon flash.
1.3 MP Front Camera
3.5 mm TRRS
GPS
Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac
Bluetooth 4.0
NFC
Infrared port
Every damn radio band so I can use GSM/3G/4G all over the world
Now that I look at it, this phone sounds pretty familiar.........
My price range would be $400 - $500
What about you?
Also, lets keep it realistic, real (no transformer from phone to PC or fantasy crap) and considering phone/budget of each person. Basically what Project Ara is really about and can offer.
Im editing the title again: Please keep it realistic Who knows what people are reading this thread. If we post things like 8K resolution screen phones for 200 bucks, we cannot keep this realist.c

I'd be willing to pay up to $600 for a device with 8GB of internal storage with an external storage option, a 21Mp camera with OIS and various low light optimizations, It needs to be at least dual core running at no less than 1.8 Ghz, it needs 2Gb of RAM, an adreno 330 GPU, a 4.7in screen with a resolution that's above 720p, wireless charging, ALL the radios!, wifi 80211ac, a front camera that has 720p recording and is at least 1.3mp, extremely tunable audio quality, and a slightly curved screen.

Just asking for a good DAC and a curved screen will shoot it up more than $600
I based off mine a existing phone and depending on that raised the price compared to it...

For me:
Top-line specs (cpu ram etc...)
But the extra stuff i would buy into it is a good DAC (digital analog converter). I like to hear quality music.
And a best of the bests camera with a big and fast sensor (maybe foveon x3), 3diagonal OIS, led+xenon AND full manual control in it's software. I want to control shutter speed, ISO, explosure, OIS on/off, timer, intervalometer, HDR, brust mode, pixel oversampling and RAW capturing.
I don't want to take photos like on DSLR, but these things are good to have in the creative process :--)

Hello,
With this being talked about now, what will your dream phone have?
Mine is pretty simple:
Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 2.3GHz
Adreno 330 450MHz
2 GB RAM
3.8 V 2300 mAh, 8 Wh, Qi wireless charging
Slide out QWERTY physical keyboard
4.96 in (126 mm) diagonal IPS LCD with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 (1080×1920 px (444 ppi))
8 MP with OIS, f/2.4 aperture and Xenon flash.
1.3 MP Front Camera
3.5 mm TRRS
GPS
Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac
Bluetooth 4.0
NFC
Infrared port
Every damn radio band so I can use GSM/3G/4G all over the world
Now that I look at it, this phone sounds pretty familiar.........
My price range would be $400 - $500
What about you?

By the time ARA is available this will be a bit old
But I would take high specs with 3000 or 4000 mAh so it would last more than a day

Why do I want more? Make no sense.

Because my 2100mhA battery on my nexus 4 only last the day on usual use but can be drained by half on my 1h commute if I stream music while playing games

An HTC One with modules and i'll be happy

Thats why you do and that is not normal usage (internet, music and games)
The phone I do (PHONE) does WAY more than any phone I (or most people) can ask for.

Really i want there to be clean choices.
saying you want a snapdragon 800 in it or a 21 megapixel camera wont help you if that phone comes out in a year or so.
An option to get it pre-assembled.
A rating system for blocks, if you replace a block, ask you to rate/comment on it after a week or so.
More then one company making them.
Multiprocessor support. Get your Snapdragon and your Exynos. More power. Maybe limit that to just more then one copy of the same chip though, i do not see how it would work otherwise.
A separate block that contains the headphone jack, usb, ... so that it can be replaced without replacing the more expensive components.
A small internal battery, so that you can exchange the battery block without rebooting.
Different body shapes. Tablet--Phablet--Phone--Phone with keyboard
An E ink screen option.
Price, depends on components.
An E ink phablet-phone is something else then a DUAL-Tegra with 3 extra battery blocks, 4k screen and no radios except wifi.

- separate DAC/amp (i imagine these will be built into the SoC so hopefully OEMs can make modules that override this)
- 4000mAh battery
- landscape QWERTY
- probably a screen no bigger than 4.7" given that an overly large screen would make using the keyboard untenable
- camera module with a decent sensor size & xenon flash
- multiple SD/microSD card support
- projector
i don't imagine you could have all of these modules on the phone at once though

I'd love to have a phone with a 4.3" 720p AMOLED screen and a Pureview Camera with a hardware shutter key.
CPU would be an Intel Atom paired with 2 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. Also, dual-boot with Android and WP (or whatever OS I want to put on there)
Oh, and the price? $500, maybe? (modular, of course)

I should have added that please make the phone and price realistic; Some of you are saying technologies such as PureView cameras when that is a trademark by Nokia and Nokia would NEVER open source it (with reason and I agree with them)

Independent vendors such as nikon, canon, etc.. might produce modules and provide propietary bins.. nokia as motorola's competitor would probably not agreed. W/o seeing the mdk, I can only guess companies [and a few gifted individuals] would have the resources to develop, nano-cize and produce said modules.. or will motorola be taking a you design.. we produce line.. Future looks exciting either way.. I'd pay $600 for full phone [base + enough modules to make it standard] but in just [visually] glancing the [proposed] module spacing, we'd be lucky to get battery you suggested.. Doesn't seem room unless thickness added [or two module spaces used].. which is/are a bleh idea(s) imo.
