the picture above. is it real?

.....Why not?

can't see anything strange !!!

Yes, it is real.
Its HTC HD2 running Windows 6.5.

ya, can't see anything weird there

What is exactly the problem here? The HD2 is available on T-Mobile..

i guess it could be that the edges are a bit "rounder" than your typical HD2

Exactly. That is a fat rounded phone. Horrible looking representative of the phone! It looks nothing like that at all.
I don't see how you guys looked at that phone and say "oh, there's nothing wrong with it. Why?" Wow!
Do you guys really didn't notice it? Im' shocked.
Make the iphone squared edges displaying the iphone OS and for sure, someone will jump on that like hot cake.

next thing is that Windows phone on the left bottom corner... it is name for wm7 or am i wrong?

No, they already started calling them windows phones on the WM6.5 HD2.
Those rounded corners are ugly, btw.

Seems like the marketing artist decided to take some liberties and make it shorter and rounder or they had a bad graphic file to begin with.

To be honest there have been quite a few visual representations of the HD2 that are squat or squared. I remember the same thing with the Original Samsung Omnia.

not to mention the buttons along the bottom are different...

I'm guessing that is a T-Mobile US advert and the buttons reflect that model.

Correct, the US version has Red and Green phone keys on the bottom. It's not any more rounded than the HD2 though.

did they really need it? the coloured buttons i mean.
or is HTC/tmob US pandering to 'simpler folk'?
perhaps the next model variant will have CALL and END written on the buttons for colour-blind people?

eww She looks horrible in that photo!

So... unless I missed something, it will be a QVGA version to be ripped apart by you guys
isn't there one too many threads started about this..? Sort of a pointless thread started- and yes I guess that would be the general idea of TouchFlo 2D
wait. if thats the opal/jade then im seriously getting one just because of the color choices.
i just wish it had an accelerometer.

we already have manila2d. thats all it is afaik. so useless post...
do we have a purely xvga version... or just one that was edited and downsized. are you talking about the file that's about 25mb now, or is there a smaller qvga cab? and isn't the xda release still in beta?

I'm sure T-Mobile will have color choices, but VZW will prob only be available in white, pink, or white and pink !

HA. I showed some available color choices, so apparently this is not a useless thread.
the Touch HD looks more like something I would like to get
yeah... what's with the touch viva. 3 new phones i guess.
i agree the headphone jack bought me on that one
but tmobile sucks sweaty b***s and my parents hate buying unlocked phone cuz of warranty issues
This thread isn't pointless, just should've been in the General forum.
What about the S740?
http://www.htc.com/www/product.aspx?id=57640
The Raphael/Pro, but with an external keypad like the i760.
lol. that's the Opal/Jade/Viva shown in different colors, NOT the HD.

Nobody said it was the HD......
What about the Blackberry Storm (I know it's not HTC), kind of looks like the HD. First touch Blackberry!
and yet the pointless thread perpetuates, far beyond my control.
I'd rather get the HD myself. More memory and faster CPU.
Check GSMArena people
This is the HTC Touch 3G. Not a Touch Opal/Viva
I wonder if this htc 3g really exist? why it is not found in the official site of htc?

Unfortunately I would totally agree on that. Was thinking that it could be a potential replacement of my Fuze, not so much now... How did they manage to make a pretty decent looking phone ugly how...
i suppose i won't pass judgement until i see it in person...but eh i can't get a new phone yet anways so ....moot point
we just added a few new photos and more details...like no 3.5 jack, talk time worse than the Fuze and a possible launch date before super Tuesday

Isn't the next "super Tuesday" in something like February 2012? When exactly are you referring to?

The super Tuesday being refered to is next Tuesday because that is the day Microsoft said it was releasing Windows Mobile 6.5 along with several carriers announcing availability of WM 6.5 phones. It is the official launch date for WM 6.5 basically.
if you walk into a store today you can buy one - 100%. Just ask nice and act innocent.
you should be able to get it today in NY at least. I played with the floor model for a bit. its not as ugly in person. its not ugly at all in person. it does look horrible on the box art though.
Apart from the AT&T branding, this is identical to the t-mobile Compact V..... the case, the silver inlay on the back, earpiece, ..... all the same.
Only thing I can't see is if it has the mini-usb cover on the bottom but I guess it has.
John
Yes, it's the same as T-Mobile MDA Compact V except logos on front cover.
Ok I have to ask, why do these carriers change the phones? I'm not just talking about the TD2. I prefer the original versions, not to mention the carrier branding, ugh.
Maybe
Perhaps its ugly, perhaps its got no headphone jack... Regardless, I'm probably buying one of these later today or sometime this week for analysis/experimentation It will be nice to have a phone smaller than my fuze tho... it is kind of thick (And yes, I'm aware its thinner because of the lack of keyboard). Ill post back here when i get it, and post whether or not its as bad as everyone thinks.
Chris

I wish...

They had made the buttons into the surface of the phone, like that on the Nexus One...
(quick photoshop of some images from google)

It may look better, but is much harder to use.
The buttons on the Nexus One are really bad. You should be glad that they did NOT make them like that.

Are they actual buttons you have to "push" or are they sensor like buttons that you only have to press lightly?

much like capacitive dpad from diamond, at least that's what I understand had that phone, never owned one.
Cool looking, sure, but I can press buttons in the dark just by feeling their surface thi way... plus, you get more satisfaction out of the tactile feedback
I had initially meant to post this in this thread, but kinda mucked up and put it in the wrong one.
Still, I think it's funny enough to post twice... Mods, please feel free to delete if it breaks any rules or pi$$es anyone off...

The image I posted is a HD2 (not) running Windows 3.11 so it has the same physical layout as the original HD2, but obviously would run about a million times faster than WinMo 6.5 lol

"Unlike MS-DOS, Windows allowed users to execute multiple graphical applications at the same time, through cooperative multitasking."

mistery
PLEASE let this alleged hardware issue be the addition of a trackball/trackpad and a better casing than cheap plastic that gizmodo reported.
Let this be a standalone phone and not a Galaxy S with Stock Android.
i think i read on giz that it will be plastic. think i may wait for nexus 3

word...
Google needs some damn designers...lol. People with vision...the Nexus S/2 should looked like the HTC ONE concept some design student mocked up...with a few additions for usability.
You guys know Google doesnt' actually design phones right?
They basically call up sony/htc/apple/samsung and ask what new platforms/devices they have coming up. The respective companies show them a line up, google bids on them, and then they tweak it slightly (color/finish/very minor hw changes).
Cool, so rumour was true I hope it will be released soon...
I really hope it lives up to the nexus name. Not just a galaxy-S running stock android with an unlockable bootloader...
yay! coming soon with Gingerbread. 4 inch screen with trackball please.

could it be some indian version of the i5801?
http://www.priceindianow.com/samsung-i5801-galaxy-apollo-india-price/
that is a pre production model, those pictures were probably taken when they were doing a preview of the phone, before it was released to market.
Looks absolutely different. I can see Spare Parts, Java Me, Coverter, Dev Tools apps. These were not there when i bought the phone. Looks like a hybrid phone

Nope.
I have the Indian version......
Interface is definetly different..status bar, "touchwiz"....
And two homebuttons...maybe the one what we use as a home button isnt home button.
I dont get it, why isnt there normal touchwiz, we are using
Maybe it's chinese copy?
Its a prototype of the galaxy3...samsung decided to shed some of those buttons to make it look better and cut costs
