Our G1 needs a Hemi under the hood!

The g1 is perfect for me but it lacks processing power! HTC needs to wake up and give us a g1 with a hemi! It looks like every new android phone coming out is really a downgrade. I love having a physical keyboard! My friend got a new iphone 3gs and it runs circles around my phone when flying through apps like Google maps and its because the Iphone has a nice processor.
Would be cool if 1000's of us got together and massed emailed HTC until they met our demands

The mytouch is a hemi-G1, since hemi means half or less than a whole.
Mobiles tend to be about, what, 8-10 years behind the desktop, so the HTC Orangutan in Q4 2019 should be able to play Crysis on it's 4" sub-3D infipixel™ display.

Just wait for the sholes because HTC isn't gonna give you **** anytime soon. Motorola is looking like the best bet for Android in the near future. HTC dont listen to there customers just look at allll the driver issues with older winmo phones.

Also your friends iphone is faster because a) it only runs one process at a time b) safari is basically the best mobile browser out c) apple has complete control over it, they make the product, the os, and control the software.

What are you talking about?
All 3 android phones currently available (Dream, Magic and Hero) all use the same processor...The Rogers (32A) Magic and Hero both have 288mb of RAM compared to the Dream and 32B Magic's 192mb. AFAIK the 3G S has 256mb of RAM and a ~600mhz processor.

I perfer the slow lane people, just cruising and relaxing making sure everyone sees me looking good in the hood

Ah. I see for some reason I was under the impression the g1 was slower. Also, there not all the same processors. Same speed sure but the hero is little bit different.

I agree with you. The safari browser over all is best. But not the fastest . My opera mini smoked safari. My friend used 3g and wifi. I used 3g and won both times. He even used mobile view while i used desktop view.

They all use the same MSM7201A CPU running at 528 Mhz. HTC uses this CPU in a lot of their products include the Dream, Magic, Hero, MDA, Touch, Touch Pro, Touch Diamond,...

Yeah Im convinced they got it off the truck or something.
Im not liking any concepts or iterations of Android devices either.
I would love the g1 "style" to stay put. KB/Style of slideout/Trackball comb is best Ive ever had on a phone.
Bigger screen/vga/faster processor etc is what needs changing on future android/G# devices.

Hemi is short for hemispherical (sp?) Referring to the design of the combustion chambers. Hemi DOES NOT mean half or not whole. A simple google search would of prevented you from talking without knowing. Thanks for playing.

Engadget compared all the devices. The Hero phones processor is a bit different. The end numbers on msm7201a is different. Engadget may have made a mistake not sure. I came across this earlier in a thread here on XDA.
Edit: ok I checked HTC Web site and the Hero processor is MSM7200A

Well done, you have shown your ignorance, hemi is a Greek derived prefix for half, also usable meaning partial. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Hemi-
If you actually needed to google "hemi" and didn't realise that hemisphere was a compound word then I feel for you and everyone else that attended your school.
Of course I knew what the OP was referring to, but was taking the piss.

New G1 Blaze?!?!! a.k.a. HTC Vision/Vanguard

Well I guess G1's aren't dead after all, but really it is just the name because :
no 5 row keyboard
no dedicated hard keys
just a game equalizer for t-mobile really.+
In, all its the phone for us finishing up our old G1 contracts.

My next phone. I love G1 and I'm really looking forward to its successor. Froyo + Sense + fast proccessor + lot of RAM + full QWERTY keyboard = WIN!

emerald???
i wanna see what the emerald will look like supposedly its a dual core, 4 inch monster wit a keyboard lol
but this is def a slick looking phone
also, i want gingerbread

Emerald is still on the way, I'm just waiting for pictures to drool about how this new sidekick will look. I hope it has Mood lights around all four corners like my current Sidekick Lx 2007, a sidekick theme that can be turned on/off, sidekick sounds!!!!(drool) but they can be turned on/off as well.
Ever since my G1 started having screen issues I went to the Sidekick Lx 2007, I can tell its no Android, but its a phone that your supposed to showoff and a phone that gets it done... barely.
Oh, yeah Sidekick Lx + 1 to gettin girls because they love to use it so much, G1 attracted to much attention from boys,girls, and adults.
T-Mobile Roadmap in an attachment.
As you can see Emerald is still on the way... don't lose hope in T-Mobile just yet!

Yes, I bought my G1 specifically to hold me off until Project Emerald comes out. I cant wait for it!

I saw an article about the mytouch HD, I think it said something about the blaze

My TOP SECRET sources leaked this info to me....
HTC Vision should have MSM8260 (single core [up to 1.3] & HSPA+)
HTC Emerald should have QSD8672 (dual core [up to 1.5] & HSPA+)

* Improved 3D graphics – up to 80M triangles/sec and 500M+ 3D pixels/sec
nah, I just c/p'ed from a different site. These are the expected specs....

Oh man i cant wait... I really want to buy a g1 blaze over a mytouch hd, but not specs wize... if blaze is vanguard and mytouch hd is emerald. But apparently from leaked sources it seems to lean toward the mytouch hd to be vanguard and not g1 blaze.

Gee. The box mine came in *clearly* says G1. In really big letters even. Maybe mine is a cheap knock-off. Odd, I bought it in a T-Mobile corporate store.
Hint, products routinely have multiple names. They're all accurate. They may not be *your* preferred name for the product. They may not be the name used in a particular piece of software. But, they are accurate names for the device.

Hehe, when I show my phone to my friends and they see this "Era" (my operator) on the phone they're like "WTF phone by "Era"? WTF is this sh*t ". But then they see Android and full QWERTY and they're like ":O". Then I say:
"it's also called HTC Dream"
Then they're totally like "O_O".

Hint: TMOBILE IS NOT A HARDWARE MANUFACTURER!!!!

Sadly, a chance for a 5 row keyboard with a 4.3" screen, 1.5 ghz processor and 750 mb of RAM is unlikely. Take of the keyboard than the phone with that specs is likely.
I'm trying to say that thanks to those big monster screens, the use of a physical keyboard is pretty much useless.
ONE MORE THING: Sooner or later, those G1/32B users will have to replace their phones. You cannot keep on saying "I'll hold on to my G1 until a true G1 successor is coming."
The G1 Blaze is going to be close to the true successor as it is going to be in this decade!
Also since this is going to be made by HTC, you can root it (in a few days after the release) and flash a custom ROM (a few days after rooting the device) since it does not have a F%#KING ENCRYPTED BOOTLOADER!!!
So if this comes with Sense, just root it and flash CM 6 (I'm 94390535% sure that CM 6 will be ported to this phone)

No, the phone was labelled as HTC DREAM from the factory before tmobile ever sold a single one of them.
And then comes tmobile to debrand them.
Its like those stupid american car companies that buy good japanese cars and put their own stickers on them. Doesn't magically make it into a chevrolet since it was still made in a suzuki factory.

Dude, grow up. A product can be know under many names. Companies re-brand the device or keep the original name. It doesn't matter.
STOP being a troll and just grow up.
Also it doesn't help your point by being racist. And from my knowledge, those american companies like Chevy and Ford makes their cars in factories THAT ARE IN AMERICA.

A 5th row on the keyboard isn't important. What IS important is that the keys are aligned correctly with the 'q' key a half-key left of the 'a' key and the 'a' key a half-key left of the 'z' key. According to the pictures of this unit, the keys are properly arranged, which will make it a pleasure to type on, unlike most other moronic key layouts used on cellphones -- i.e. take a look at THIS moronic keyboard: http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_milestone-pictures-3001.php -- (ignore the apparently missing 'z' key though since the picture is of a qwertz layout).

2GHZ Motorola coming in 2010

Apple may have had its big day or two to take in the spotlight and make the competition look bad with its fancy new iPhone 4 and iOS 4.0, but Motorola isn’t going to sit there and just take it. Sanjay Jha & Friends are bringing everything they have to the smartphone party and calling all bets by publicly stating the company’s intent to launch an Android device with a 2 GHz processor by the end of this year.
That’s right, Motorola is planning a new device that is twice as fast as the iPhone 4 and faster than most capable netbooks (running 1.6 GHz or slower processors, that is). It’s clear to see what HelloMoto’s vision is for the upcoming years in the mobile industry, and the company intends to be on the front lines of this onslaught of superphones.This statement came out of Jha’s mouth yesterday at the Executives Club in Chicago and discussed his vision of the future having a focus on highly-capable smartphones that take the place of, and be mostly responsible for the demise of, mobile computing devices such as notebooks and netbooks (would this include the iPad though?). Which naturally led him into sharing this golden nugget of information.
But here’s another kicker. Another anonymous Motorola executive told Conceivably Tech that this new powerful device will essentially include everything that is “technologically possible” in any smartphone today. It will include a gyroscope and a powerful new Nvidia Tegra-based graphics processor complete with full Flash 10.1 hardware acceleration. Oh yeah, this exec also talked about 720p HD video output, HD screen resolution, and camera with more than 5 MP. This has me drooling already.
So what does this mean for you, consumer who is on the fence about iPhone 4? Could this be enough to sway you in either direction?
If Motorola truly comes out with this superphone, it quite possibly could show up as a new Droid (or similar branding) for the holidays. It would make sense, though it’s too early to predict whether or not it will be exclusively on Verizon. No matter what, news like this is what makes me so excited for the future. We have a lot of great things coming, and we’re just barely scratching the surface of what’s actually possible in the future.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say: Unless it has a mini-nuclear battery plant it in, it's going to last about 2 hours 39 minuets and 3.5 seconds.
There comes a point when you don't need anymore power in a phone, because as it is, we're nearing the point of them being able to run Windows 7 Starter!
Actually, lets just carry iPads around and talk on them.

So when exactly did they launch a 2GHZ cell chip? Are we sure they didn't mean 1.2 as in qsd dualcore?

Ummm....what? Did you read it? Future releases don't have to have anything out in the wild yet, planning stages are planning stages.

After reading the leaked FroYo response and hearing about all the C&D letters Moto legal dept has been spewing out. I'm not sure I would buy any Motorola device unless they lightened up a bit.
I guess I am too much of a newbie to post links so see this engadget article for more on my point...

I'm with you dude. if Motorola is going to keep building kill-chips into their handsets, i don't want it.

Considering we're 4 months away from the end of the year and 3 months from the start of the Christmas shopping season, I would think that anything like this would have to be about to start production. I've only heard rumors of dual core and 2 GHz processors, nothing to my knowledge has become available yet. I've heard a lot of news about random tablets and stuff using the Tegra but this is the first I've heard about a Motorola phone. I don't doubt they'll make one but my suspicion is that it won't be available till around Q2 of 2011. Anything like this should be well beyond the planning stage by now if it were going to be released by the end of this year.

aush30 ,
I do have to agree with you that i dont think we will see the phone this year but i am planning on a 2ghz phone being released early in '11
As far as motorola lighting up im not soo concerned with this fact, For the sole reason that if they launch this phone ATT, SPRINT, TMobile will all have to release 2GHZ phones or push theyre research departments. Its an ARMS race with phones..

The reason I say Q2 at the earliest is because of the electronics conventions at the beginning of the year. They'll probably show something off in January-February but it won't become available until at least a couple months later. I could be completely wrong but that seems to be the trend.

We will see when in 2011

yeah, unless there is a major breakthrough in batteries I just don't see this being a good thing

Me thinks it's a tab, not a phone.

Looks like an awesome 1.2 Ghz dual-core phone, but it also looks like it's going to Verizon for the launch of its LTE service. I hope Sprint comes up with something better than the EVO Shift 4G. June should be exciting.

Still should be a good phone though. Like the EVO (FFC + "4G") + updated CPU/GPU, what looks like a Desire HD like aluminum casing, more storage, and 50% more RAM.

Looks really cool but I dont buy it.

It's a Verizon Evo!! Super lame if you ask me. I thought phone tech would be a lot further than what it is. Just proves that the Evo is top of the line android phone.

How is the EVO the "top of the line Android phone" when this phone betters it in just about every way? Makes absolutely no sense.

Because he said so and its his opinion. If you dont agree (and we all know you dont mr iphone i love apple guy) then so be it. But he didn't ask you for your opinion, so why are you trying to start some more drama. Seems to try to go out of your way to try and tear down the EVO alot, every phone has to be better than the evo according to you. But guess what...NOONE cares what you think.
POOF: be gone

There are opinions and then there are facts.
-Better second generation 45nm 1 GHz Qualcomm CPU with 3-4x more powerful GPU.
-7 more GBs of internal storage plus a included 32 GB micro SD (compared to the 8GB that came with the EVO or dropping at least $50+ for one).
-Seems to have the better unibody aluminium casing of the Desire HD.
-Updated default Sense software.
-Add in all the usual stuff the EVO has 8MP/1.3MP main/front cameras, kickstand, LTE instead of WiMax, and DNLA instead of HDMI.
-And likely to be borrowed from the Desire HD but not announced yet: 256 MB more RAM and a better SLCD display.
It's hard to argue that the phone itself isn't better. But of course, defy the EVO in anyway and it's all distorted opinions. Right.

Good for you....then you should buy one and stfu....you came in here saying someones opinion was wrong....so bounce.

Could be wrong here but I think he meant the Evo concept was the best.

What exactly does that mean?

Why do people act like they have been anally violated when someone says something negative about the evo. Sure its a great phone and I love mine, but lets be honest its sporting last gen hardware. Its nothing personal its just facts. And only retards argue with facts.

Haha yeah seriously talk about some butthurt. Evo is my favorite phone of the 2010 lineup across all carriers but comeon....its CPU/GPU combo has been available since 2008. As in, available to OEMs since the G1 was new and available in consumer products since mid-2009. Not exactly cutting edge. And remember Adreno200 sucks major balls, renders 22mil triangles/sec vs 90mil on nice PowerVRs (Galaxy S). 65nm chip is old and busted compared to 45nm new hotness. Etc etc etc.
See what I'm getting at? Evo is feature packed. Has all sorts of sweet things. Just look at it as the whole package rather than looking at each part individually.
And getting butthurt cause technology is moving along and doesnt necessarily support your purchase choices is retarded. Its a damn gadget. Having some sense of arbitrary brand/model loyalty simply cause you spent $500 on a gadget is retarded too. My next phone purchase will be whatever tickles my pickle, I dont give a rats ass who makes it or what its called. Evo loyalty? Sexy as it is, this phones gonna be on Craigslist as soon as I feel theres enough change to warrant an upgrade, and I wont think twice about it.

MI-ONE a pretty good phone?

Was just looking at the MI-ONE phone, which is made by Xiaomi, which also develops MIUI. I have to say its a pretty good phone if you have a look at the specs, isn't it?
Powered by a dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S3 (MSM8260) processor
Runs on Android v2.3.5 Gingerbread platform in the shape of MIUI OS
266MHz Adreno 220 graphics chip
4GB of ROM, and 1GB of RAM
4-inch touchscreen LCD display Screen resolution of 854 x 480 pixels
8-megapixel rear-facing camera with flash
Supports a microSD card slot of up to 32GB of memory expandable
Noise-cancelling microphone
802.11 b/g/n WiFi connectivity Bluetooth support, & GSM/WCDMA support
Supports micro USB port, & unlocked bootloader
GPS with GLONASS support
Three capacitive buttons
Let me know your thoughts about it!
Greetzz, jojoost

I think it's a good phone, but IMO, you can use only miui rom.. Otherwise, u have to build it yourself(aosp rom)!
+Need to pay tax and shipping fee.
This is just my thinking,
Xiaomi is gathering translations from other countries..and sales mi-one. I think they might release MI-two soon

I think that the best thing about MI-One is that it gets constantly upgraded each friday. Compared to other manufacturers, who has lots of problems when updating, it's a really good thing.

It's a very nice phone, especially the screen even works under bright sunlight with its backlight turned off!! The only thing missing is the front facing camera, a real pity.

From what I read, it also supports dual system partition, so you can boot into either of 2 different roms. Something that google is planning to incorporate into 5.0 with boot to android/chrome I believe.
....memoirs of a flash addict.

Advertisement for Xiaomi (means "millet" in Chinese) said it has Original ICS system support besides MIUI.
But mind ya guys one thing is that, ads have only the good part of information.
1. I never seen any one with a Mi-1 running original ICS. btw, the MIUI is mostly pirated from Meizu's UI, which is deeply customized from Gingerbread.
2. Mi-1 has an ASYNCHRONOUS dual-core processor that the cores generally works one after another, but not the parallel way. No wonder the 1.4 GHz Samsung Exynos 4210 has better performance.
about the phone itself there is no much to say (though about its story there is a lot)... anyway it's only $313.79.

I've seen a mi one running ics stock. There are videos. Lol I wouldn't call it 'pirating'

Maybe it's because you don't know what happened between the bosses of Xiaomi & Meizu...

following content referenced page http://www.epata.com.cn/news/meizuceo , mainly translations. (forgive my bad English...)
The following quote is translated from the Meizu boss' (J. Wong) post accusing the Xiaomi Boss (Jun Lei) stealing commercial secrets of Meizu:
I'm not afraid of him, I'm just disgusted by him.
(He) used to contact me as an angel investor, taking advantage of his close relationship with government leaders of the HNT (High-Tech & New-Tech) District, to defraud me of Meizu's commercial secrets.
From the overall concept to hows and whys about phone making, developing process to supplier selection, manufacturing and marketing, company status and plans to core staff and touching financial reports... I was totally trapped by his repeated "sincerity" and the leader's urging (though
the leader's in good motive).
So please stop discussing them here, leave me calm. Please.

The Wanxing Softs CEO Taibing Wu believed so. "Last time I visited Wong, he told me proudly that he was studying on mobile internet everyday with Lei. I never thought that Lei's intention was the phone."
Yixin Tu, the president manager of Shanghai Guangdian Electronic Tech., described what he saw that year:"That day in Wong's office, I was listening to him talking about how M8's IME should be. Lei came, and asked Wong for a lot of M8 batteries. I thought they were getting along well with each other, they both work their lives. They both dedicate themselves into user experience."
So it can be clear what the truth is.
======================= BONUS for those who are interested =======================
- If you ever used a Meizu phone and a phone running MIUI, e.g. Mi-1, you will find that they are very alike, from layout to color.
- Yeah, MIUI is far more famous, but Meizu's UI has had it's owns style from the very beginning - their first phone M8 (based on Windows CE).
- Anyone seen the Mi-one publishing press? Remember who Lei dressed like? Yeah, so did Lei get the name "Leibs".
=====================================================
Anyway... We don't have to expect merchants to be honest and frank...
