HTC Omni, the successor of Universal !

Paul on MoDaCo brings the first info abou the successor of HTC Universal - the HTC Omni !
Read the full article
I'm think support of HSDPA too, but the Samsung processor (same as in TyTN) is too slow for the best PPC Phone ed. device :-(

Sounds good, can't find a single picture yet though, how annoying!!
My O2 contract renewal is in a month, do I delay upgrading and wait for this, or will it not be out *that* soon?

So reading this it sounds like it will be to the Exec as the 2i was to the 2, or am I wrong?
Will it actually be VGA or will we need to hack it again :-(

WRONG!!! Samsung processors yield 30% more performance than Intel. That means, if there is a 300 MHz Samsung, it's every bit as fast as a 390 MHz Intel. 400MHz Samsung = 520MHz Intel. Also it drains less power.

oh sorrry, Yes I'v missed this

Now if it has a 533(+) MHz Samsung S3C2440, GSM-Quad-Band, Bluetooth 2.0, HSDPA, some sort of 3D-accelerator (like the nVidia GoForce) and built-in GPS I will be very happy - and maybe throw in an 1" hard-disk-drive (Seagate has one offering 12 GB now, after all, Windows CE 5.0 supports it, right?) while you're at it.
OK, one can dream, but I have been waiting for such a device for years now - and of course this info just HAD to come in as I was ready to finally get a Universal for a whopping <50 EUR from my provider - but then, I'd be stuck with it for two years, while everybody else gets to play with the (superior?) Omni. They better come out with substantial info on this device soon, before my provider drops the Universal from their portfolio for good.

As long as it's quadband and VGA I'll buy it in a heartbeat... I will never give up the VGA screen on my universal - I use it almost daily for remote management of the servers I manage and I need that VGA screen, but I use Cingular here in the US and the lack of an 850MHz band is a serious annoyance. I can't wait until any quadband VGA device is out... hopefully with EDGE support as well. I'll be keeping my eye on this Omni.

Anyone get hold of any pictures of this wonder device yet?

Why dont they ever listen ???????????? " Popular demand" says an external screen is a necessity not a luxury. Now even though the design is said to be "fluid" after waiting so long an external Lcd wouldnt be asking too much OR perhaps more $$$£££ in the form of Universal 3 is the cause! :?

sorry Brotha, I dropped them for a very similar reason. I actually think that cingular is predominantly 850mhz, but the universal doesn't support 850, it supports, 900, 1800, 1900, and 2100 mhz. I switched to tmobile, who happens to have GREAT 1900 mhz coverage mostly everywhere. As long as you don't live off on a farm somewhere or in a real rural area, tmo should have 1900 coverage in the area. Now with T, I get 3 - 4 bars everywhere I go, with a solid 4 bars here at home. The only other consideration is that US UMTS coverage cannot be 2100mhz atm because the military uses that frequency for its satellites. So you're stuck with GPRS speeds or battery consuming wifi. For a while I just paired and DUN'ed the Exec with my Fathers sprint Apache.

[OFFICIAL] HTC EVO 4G is Sprint's Android-powered knight in superphone armor.

No Longer called SuperSonic
http://now.sprint.com/evo/
http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/htc-evo-4g-is-sprints-android-powered-knight-in-superphone-armo/
We've been rumoring a WiMAX "HTC Supersonic" for a while now, and Sprint just dropped the hard news: the phone will be dubbed the HTC EVO 4G, will be released this Summer and it's easily the best specced phone we've ever witnessed. The hardware is of quite obvious HD2 descent, but with Android onboard and some nice aesthetic tweaks, the EVO 4G takes on a life of its own. The handset is centered around a 480 x 800 4.3-inch TFT LCD, with a Snapdragon QSD8650 1GHz processor under the hood (the CDMA version of the QSD8250 in the HD2 and Nexus One), and even a helpful 1GB of built-in memory and 512MB of RAM -- hello app storage! Even the battery is bigger than the HD2, and the camera is an 8 megapixel monstrosity with flash, that's capable of 720p video, and is augmented by a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera for good measure. The phone features HDMI out (though you'll need an adapter for turning it into a TV-familiar HDMI plug), 802.11b/g WiFi, and an 8GB microSD card. There's that still-rare Android 2.1 underneath an updated version of HTC's Sense UI. But... despite all these wild features, what actually sets the EVO 4G apart is the fact that it's Sprint's first 4G phone. The handset runs a combo of EV-DO Rev. A and WiMAX, with calls still being made over CDMA and the EV-DO / WiMAX options for data. Interestingly, it sounds like concurrent data and voice use might be possible for the first time on CDMA carrier in this way (killing AT&T's well-advertised differentiator), though Sprint says that's still in the testing phase. One other new feature is the Sprint hotspot app, another MiFi-style connection sharing number, which is obviously aided greatly by the WiMAX on board and can support up to eight concurrent users. Follow after the break for our hands-on impressions and videos of the phone in action, including an up-close-and-personal test of the touchscreen keyboard. Below you'll find galleries of the phone by its lonesome and up against the Nexus One and iPhone 3G.

Evo has more memory. As far as I can see

HD2 on 4G?

I was speaking to a Tmobile rep on the phone who couldn't go into details because of a recorded line, but mentioned that the HD2 can run on the 4G network. He said there are "ways that will not void warranty". He said to just search and I will find it. It was not a hardware limitation, but a software one. Anyone have an idea on this?

Cmon bro, you have over 1300 posts and you think the HD2 is capable of 4G and that it's a software limitation? Secondly, even Tmobile themselves dont even know what 4G is with their subliminal ads, what make you think any of their reps know any better?

HD2 doesn't run on 4G and it's a hardware limitation period

Yes the hd2 is hardware limited to 7.2 Mbs but since hspa+ is backwards compatible T-Mobile's "4g" network will make a difference to you connection... Idk what the Rep you talked to was talking about but frankly he's f.o.s (full of $#!+).. the hardware radio is limitation!!!

Thats what i figured. I know when HSPA came out, it was "labeled as 4G speed" but called HSPA. Maybe that is what he was confused about since now Tmobile is trying to actually have a true 4G network. Who knows. HSPA is good for me now anyway.

after the 3.14 update they'll release one that's 4.0 meaning 4g and the hd2 will then have 4g ....lol

What a douchebag, I hate phoneshops, most of them would tell you everything you want to here, just to let you buy one. When I went for my hd2, I had to buy a display model because there were none left, and the guy behind the desk had one too, an hd2. With a cooked rom. I asked to run the phones init process before taking it home, and it got stuck at sim recognising, we tried multiple simcards, everything failed, that guy was also a douche, he said immediatly, sold is sold. Maybe he tried to customise his hd2 and when it failed, he swapped it with the store display model. Luckely for my another employee overthere said he couldn't make it, if it was up to the first seller, I had to send it to repair,that dumb prick. The other one gave me a cheque to buy it in another store, where I asked the same thing, point is, always try before you buy, and insist, you are customer, and king.

Im not too familiar with all this phone junk... I mean when you guys are saying its a hardware issue, to me it sounds like you guys are saying a Dell c600 oldschool laptop only being able to run on dial up... DSL outta the question... hahaha...
i do believe it is probably a software issue, but i havent researched it much...

You have to research that a phone isn't like a laptop, lol...
Even in a smartest of smartphones you can not change the radio module, like adding a modem in the cheapest laptop, different class of gadgets.

so did your statement about hspa+ mean that the phone takes full advantage of the bandwidth available in hspa without any software mods?

T-Mobile doesn't even have real 4G. Hell, they don't even hardly have 3G where they say they do, let alone the "largest 4G network in America"
What a load of crap.
No, our totally awesome HD2's will not run 4G speeds, unless you know some sort of black magic or voodoo.

HSPA + uses the same frequency as the 3G one.. so even though its the same AWS band the hardware must be able to reach the Max speed avaible... it would be like having a 1Gig/s line but it only reaching 100mbs since that's the hardware limit... Now in some cases hardware is capable of more but limited by the firmware.. take for instance wimax modules, there capable of LTE but don't have the supported software...
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

It is very likely they were referring to 3.5G (H) instead of 4G.
Actually T-Mobile does not really have 4G yet that could be comparable to Verizon for instance... yes, it is fast on Galaxy phones but overall it is just fast fast connection... 3.75G I guess ... however, my HD2 works on 3.5G (H) connection just fine and I am subscribed to 4G 200MB plan for $10...
Will HD2 work on real 4G... cmon man don't make me loose calories by typing what 1300 threads already state... NOT HAPPENING!

I'm not commenting on whether 4G is possible or not on the HD2, but rather on your comment above.
They advertise Android phones don't they, yet that's possible on the HD2. They advertise WM7 phones, yet the HD2 can do that too. I know a lot of things on the HD2 were said to be impossible and later it was proved possible either through software changes or even just enabling a registry setting. Cell companies limit features of phones all the time by not including certain software or not enabling certain features as a way of differentiating phones. So as far as your comment goes, it means absolutely nothing.

Sweet. I think on my HTC g2 never hit that

HTC HD2 updated .zip rom EVO 4G (not working. no problem...)
Doesn't matter if 4G network not works onto HTC HD2,because when more people buying a 4G phone than they are using 4G network and after few months (maybe) year than 3G is also faster as before. 3G networks can used and functionally better onto internet whitout changed when 3G is full than you automatically down to almost historic G networks. When time is there i sell a new smartphone with 4G,but my old HTC HD2 is ever working (when it rains and not rains). I like this crazy phone. Unbeleaveble

HD2 doesn't run on 4G

Htc sensation.. g2 going or staying?

Anyone plan on switching once this phone is released. I'm really thinking about it..
[G2/HTC Vision]

I'm thinking about grabbing one. The lack of a trackpad has me wondering though and I really prefer dedicated camera buttons. Also, with the battery woes that have plagued the Evo and other 4 inchers I'm notkeen on taking the plunge.

Im honestly not 100 percent sure. I do love my G2, of course, but most likely I will try to pick one up. I've been wanting a 4.3 incher for a while but it wasn't available on tmobile other than the HD2. The sensation is a beautiful device and I already know its going to get a lot of dev support.

Frankly, and though this may not be a very popular opinion in this forum, SGS2 completely destroys Sensation. I'm so tired of HTC's constant corner-cutting (crappy speakers, terrible cameras, RAM, internal memory etc.)
Only thing Sensation has going for it is possibly superior developer support.

Yes the sgs2 has better specs. But samsung is known for their out of the box issues. Look at the nexus s. Vibrant. List goes on. I stay far away from samsung devices. Plus touchwiz completely blows. The new sense 3.0 looks amazing. My wife actually picked up the g2x and it is a amazing device as well. My options are betweeen those 2.

I must agree. Htc does great job on firmware side. Samsung otherwise makes great job on hardware side. If there would be an option for Samsung hardware and htc Sense 3.0 there wouldn't be questioning which phone at least i would buy. Super amoled is just something extraordinary with all the other hardware specs..

ill be picking one up, fiancee will be getting my G2.

I personally doubt i'll be taking the leap towards a 4"+ model. Brother has the DHD and it feels HUGE in my hand, not as comfortable when making a call when compared to my DZ.
With a lack of a trackpad and no physical keyboard, i'll wait until HTC releases their next flagship phone with those features. Perhaps a Sensation 2.0 with trackpad, keyboard and dedicated camera button??

G2x or Sensation. Just waiting for the sensation to come out to decide which one to get.

According to HTC's spec site, http://www.htc.com/www/product/sensation/specification.html
HSPA/WCDMA: Europe/Asia/T-Mobile US: 900/AWS/2100 MHz
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Which tells me that the Sensation is a world phone and supports the same bands that Rogers uses for their 3G up here, so it should work on AT&T's 3G network in the states!

What do you mean? The specs you listed show that there is currently no 850/1900 HSPA support...

HTC Sensation 4G official: 1.2GHz dual-core, qHD display, and Sense 3.0 yes thank you.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGw8BA98bgg&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I would consider to buy HTC Sensations, unless at the time it is available, there is other phone with higher specs
I love my DZ, the only disadvantages is the screen size and poor processor ;(

I'll give a try for the Sensation. The only requirement is to be able to see what's written on my screen in a sunny day (which is not the case with my Dz, getting mad of having to make shadow to see my screen, even with full luminosity)

Nope. Why fix what isn't broken?

I will be switch to sensation when its released deving there for everyone.

Nexus Prime for T-Mo et Al. passes FCC?

The I9250 just passed through the FCC as a pentaband phone with both T-Mo's AWS bands and ATT's bands.

This is my next upgrade path if it comes to fruition; so here's to hoping.
What about the rest of you?

You didn't look at the FCC sheet did you.
IT IS MISSING the 2100 frequency band...aka...T-Mobile 3G/4G WILL NOT WORK. This phone is not a T-mobile-banded device. At best it is the international version...maybe AT&T's one as second best but not T-Mobile's. Sadly I don't think we're getting this awesomeness for some time still. Sucks.

You are mistaken. The FCC does not need / can't test the 2100 Mhz band as those frequencies are used for the downlink i.e. the tower is emitting and the phone is only receiving. The phone emits RF energy on the 1700 band since this frequency band is used for the uplink in the AWS-1 spec. The FCC is checking to make sure the RF emissions from the phone conform to regulations so they test 1700Mhz and don't care about 2100Mhz as far as the phone is concerned. mmmkay? This is not a phone spec-sheet, it is simply the FCC test results.
The phone shown on that FCC summary WILL MOST DEFINITELY support full t-mo 3G and ATT's as well. It's similar to many of the recent Nokia phones in that respect.

Wow hats off to you because I totally forgot about that. FCC really can't/doesn't need to test downlinks. Yay for new T-Mobile nexus then haha?

it wont be coming to tmobil for awhile guys! as its a v exclusive first, sorry

Thanks for the info.. After reading the other guy's post, It was like the end of the world, thanks for giving us hope! LOL..
this is how I was before the Galaxy s came out, I'm excited about something again! LoL

One thing has me worried about the Nexus Prime, the size!
It is nearly 4.7 inches. Maybe possible to still keep the phone small since the buttons are built into the OS/screen, untill I saw the leaked videous. If the phone in the leaked videos is really the next Nexus, it is HUGE and has a bunch of wasted Bezel space at the bottom. Size alone is a huge factor, I can't carry around a huge phone.

Look at the dimensions from the FCC.
124 by 68mm.
For comparison the vibrant is 122 by 64mm.
The nexus IS BARELY bigger than the Vibrant. I'd say the size is perfect. The lack of those physical buttons apparently really makes a difference.

Thanks, I guess that huge black area of the bezel on the bottom on the videos is misleading if those dimensions you stated are accurate.
Gosh I want this phone, release it already! It better come to T-Mobile and not months from now! How much do you think it will cost at full retail without a contract? I hope not more than 500.
On a side note, if it uses the same PowerVR SGX540 as our Vibrant, that goes to show that our Vibrant still has a lot of power, at least in the GPU area. Nexus should have used a better GPU, but it's ok!

For those who still don't know how Bands work:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands
FCC tests only US bands for US market. So they always skip IMT Band (2100) even though it is present on the phone.

Does it really matter? can you see the difference?
It is a phone camera, don't expect real 8MP from an 8 MP phone camera. I mean even those compact cameras sensors are very small (little finger nail-size) and you can't compare their pictures quality with the ones from SLRs.
To me, 3MP is enough, more than that is a waste of storage space for a photo that is taken by a camera phone. My previous Vibrant camera had always been set to 4MP (Wide mode).

That's coming from BGR's old rumors... Newer rumors say otherwise. Either way I don't see why people get their panties in a knot without any official word. Anyone could, potentially, release rumors of whatever they wanted.

Yeah it seemed weird, but it was dated OCT 8...didn't make much sense seeing as the Amaze has -the better ones- those specs and that phone is days away from launch...
And no I cannot tell the difference between 5-8MP couldn't care less...point is android phones come out with the newest hardware..always...so it seemed strange to have a camera that uses 2 year old technology is all...

Verizon version is supposed to have lower specifications than GSM version.

I might have not stated it too clearly but I found an article talking about how other articles are just digging up the rumors from the BGR article from forever ago.
Maybe that article was just optimistic and thinks the other ones were wrong, maybe it was right and the other ones were wrong. I am waiting until the phone is announced and Google (or the manufacturer) tells me what the specs are. I have no requirement to decide right now what I want to buy.

i'm pretty stoked, i thought about the Hercules, then was like hell i'll grab a gsm version of the sgsII HD then bam find out the Nexus Prime is a Boosted version of the SgsII HD, with stock android 4.0... can't beat that, straight ota updates from google, no twiddling my thumbs hoping my phone gets updates before my TV does. actually now that i think about it my samsung TV has gotten more Network updates then my Vibrant lol.
also who needs a 8 MP camera? anyone here gonna print out Billboards? that resolution seems silly. 5mp with a better lens and hardware is more then acceptable for a phone. you want to do true to life digital photography for business get Nikon, Sony, etc. Digital SLR.

last i checked it was a dual mode phone, capable of both CDMA/LTE and GSM/HSPA very similar to the Verizon Droid bionic, sim slot for travel and cdma here on VZ's networks
also as far as specs and Rumor's go i find GSMarena/Phonescoop to be the best two sites for updates and near accurate information.

i'm pretty stoked, i thought about the Hercules, then was like hell i'll grab a gsm version of the sgsII HD then bam find out the Nexus Prime is a Boosted version of the SgsII HD, with stock android 4.0... can't beat that, straight ota updates from google, no twiddling my thumbs hoping my phone gets updates before my TV does. actually now that i think about it my samsung TV has gotten more Network updates then my Vibrant lol.
