just had a guy at ppcgeeks tell me Android is to the mobile market what Linux is to the desktop market. talk about having your heads in the clouds. im soo glad i ditched winmo and moved to the hero. after seeing the disaster of wm7 today i made the right move.
Wow haha... that man has been misinformed obviously. MyTouch 3G? Droid? Nexus One? The only Android phone I could really say that would fit his description would be the Samsung moment (haven't heard of many people with one).
Sound like the grown adult man working as a parking lot attendant living on the days of his tenure as a high school football player who scored the winning touchdown.they will catch up soon or later
Cant and wont agree with the comment from the guy at PPG, however the 7 phone is far from a disaster and I fully believe that it will bring WinMo back from the dead...even more so than WebOS did for Palm. Its look features, and functionality beats the **** out of everything on the market except Android. Anyway, I'm with Android to stay (though maybe not Sence next time around).

id take winmo 6.1 or 6.5 over that any day. the phone is basically crippled.
Stupid PPCGeeks. I wish i could take down all my themes and shlt from there!

Meanwhile, you can expect a bit of cockiness from the WM guys. I know, I used to be one!
I think the Winmo 7 phone will be decent. Yes it's a totally new UI for it and the apps aren't backwards-compatible, but hacks will eventually come out for it.

well i am glorifying android in the wm7 thread too, so i expected a reply like that.
but some of those guys are off their rocker if they think android will be a fail.

horton hears a who
Recovering the costs of new development, and gathering anticipated profits to MS (or any other large company) will have to be realized before any new stuff is released. So they will slow the industry momentum down in order to maximize the money that can make. Money is fine. Slowing everything down sucks.
Now they can slow things down by screwing up others, ie.. specifications for open systems designs and so forth.
Only when they see their customer base being reduced (-14% winmo) will they react.
Google on the other hand supplies a "cloud base" and should be impervious to change costs on platforms. That could mean the introduction of new platforms and system upgrades. Certainly a more open environment.

i cannot describe how sick i am of reading threads along the lines of:
there is dust under my screen
a scratch oh no my precious
the PAAAAINT IS PEEEELING
its a freaking PHONE. this is not a precious artifact, a priceless jewel, or a religious artifact. IT IS A TELEPHONE. objects get dirty and scratched. they still function 100% perfectly even with BAAWWWWW DUST

MUAH...... you suckers bought what i said in my thread about slowness. i did it to get a rise out of you on here and it worked!
BUT i am jumping to the nexus when it comes out, for now i do like my hero despite it being no where near a perfect android phone.
but it does go to prove how you guys feel about people who don't try to develop for android.

does anyone know how much will cost

$2800 with a two year contract. $60,000 without a contract. That is in US dollars.
no one knows but id say full price without an upgrade will be more than the hero was...so probably around $500 +

Am I the only one that doesnt want the EVO here? I don't know... there's just a few things that draw me away from it.
Sorry for this rant, but I have to do it somewhere... okay, here goes.
First I don't know about you guys but Sense UI kinda gets old after a while, especially the HTC Keyboard, yeah I know they are gonna be making it a "larger keyboard" but its not the size that bugs me, its the layout. I don't like the whole press to get other characters like numbers and punctuation, imo the AOSP keyboard pwns & I think they should give the choice to use which keyboard you like best, not limit you to HTC's.
Also, I have a feeling this phone is gonna be wayy overpriced, sure its got crazy sweet features but I dont know... I just dont feel its worth it. For me, my next phone is gonna be the Nexus One (on Sprint). I feel they did that phone right, it's HTC but no Sense UI but not totally stock either.
Am I alone on this or does anyone get where I'm coming from?

Nexus one is a great phone as well, but is my second choice. I want the Evo because I prefer the bigger screen and I live in a 4g area. I agree that sense sucks, but XDA is going to be all over the Evo, so I'm not too concerned about custom ROMs.

I'd miss my trackball too though.
lol at the above posts. but on a serious note its been said to be about 300 after a rebate and like 480 with no upgrade.

His name is Kaiser Soce (sp?) and his phone number is (502)585-5961, wait for the short automated message to end. I told him to expect your call.
Interesting ad I found on Craigslist. Perhaps we can get our phones modded by this person; seems genuine. On top of that, his services are cheap too. /sarcasm

I think i know what he does, he installs spb 3.5 and on top of that android theme ahahaha thats what i used to have
I've been waiting so long to swap out my processor. I've prey paid him already. Waiting for reply.

I paid and sent him both my HD2 and my wife's!! I'll let you know how it goes.
I really want to know if he got people to do this though. Sad but funny.
Do you think it'll happen? There has been rumors floating around about it.
Doubt it.
Where are the rumours from? here?
Damn the title got me excited. Well I sure hope so because I was planning on ordering a nexus one in 41 days when i'm 22 months into my t-mobile contract. Could you please link us to a news article that talks about this. Thanks
I was on someone else's computer and don't have the link for it though. Sorry.
Id sell this and buy a new one.

Why would that blow? How can anyone expect the hardware world not to continue evolving. There will always be something better than what you have... if you have the best right now, something is about to come out that beats it. You can't expect that new technology in an embedded device, such as a phone, will take the place of older technology used in current generation devices.
There is no reason to believe that HTC is going to change their manufacturing process for the Nexus One, or any of their currently released phones. The new technology will be in place for NEW devices, it would be quite odd for them to just start making Nexus Ones with different hardware simply because that hardware exists in the new devices they are manufacturing.

Actually, judging by how fast google goes through versions and software (look at Chrome browser, already at 4.0 or 5.0), google is probably already testing Nexus Two. That thing'll probably have new screen.
They got a contract with current screen manufacturer, I bet they won't worry about switching now.

For some reason I believe this a stupid question. The bashing and returns that would occur after this change, and the complaints and people maybe even wanting their money back would be so gradual it would cause a bad costly uproar.
People would form small not needed hate groups, make *****y blog post about how Google somehow "scamed" customers, Google's name would be flamed harshly by people who want attention. I could just imagine this happening..

kinda like what they did with the myTouch. they add a 3.5mm jack?? thats lame because all the people who own the phone previous to this launch now want that phone but cant get it because they just bought the other version like two months earlier (and just in case you take this literally I'M GENERALIZING)
