What do you think looking from the pic?
Do you know of any other celebrities that uses the powerhouse known as the HTC hd2 or have they been bribed by Apple?
Please let me know what you think...
This is not an HD2, imo. The little chrome-thingy at the side is not present at an HD2, and the part of the housing above the battery cover is too slim.
looks more like a blackberry to me with the logo at the middle on the back
great now i have to burn this phone.
actually that looks like a blackberry storm 2.
Thank god its not an HD2 I was about to throw mine as far away as I could
How does that look like an HD2 to you?
It's definitely a storm.
its definetly NO hd2
if the others say its a storm, its a storm
thats logical, isnt it? =)

thank god! .... i don´t have to burn, smash and vaporize my HD2 ...
... or run against these strange "doorthings" ...
At a quick glance it does have the same black trim with an HD2 like battery cover, and the size looks convincing.... But I can say 100% it is a Blackberry. 3 things tip it off.
1. Wrong shape and size for the camera
2. The phone is branded Verizon on the bottom by his finger (the Verizon symbol is visible on a large screen HDTV and zoomed in).
3. His hands would be too small to hold an HD2... Just kidding The top symbol is the Blackberry logo.
And the answer is: a Blackberry Storm 2, and not his! He was given the phone with the pre programed number in it for the Jimmy Kimmel show. He owns an iPhone as seen many times in public and even recently. If you think about it, isn't the iPhone more of a kids phone as most apps and games are geared for a younger crowd?
Just for the record, I don't follow him or claim to like his music (although he is much better than Soulja Boy... Actualy anything is better than Soulja Boy) I just wanted to put this post to rest and hopefully get J.B. off the first page.
Thanks god it is not HD2 =) She needs iPhone as every 13year old girl.
"justin bieber" i just had to google that, now when my GF looks at thew computer history she is gonna think im into **** music :'(
Who really cares about what celebrity is using which phone?The most important people for me as far as phone issues are those great cooks and editors of this great forum.They make things happen for us and rock our devices while the celebrities only get drunk and show us their "shinny pants".

Thanks for clearing up the confusion it's just that while I was watching the the video clip and the size of the phone seemed to point towards the HTC HD2.
And btw I'm younger than Bieber by a month and love the HTC HD2, whilst my friends play 'falldown' and 'doodle jump' Im busy fragging zombies on Medieval using FPSece

Calm down mate, just a bit of curiosity nothing else,
someone's obviously a huge Bieber fan, nudge nudge wink wink
Why is he famous again?
if it was an HD2 it would have completely covered that whole side of his girly face
Garbage phone to match his garbage music

And im not impressed, i can youtube already on my phone, i would like if it had a rewind feature, i hate watching youtube and cant go back.
Its sad that from here on out every single phone will try to be like the iphone. Wouldnt that just make people want an iphone more? This has all been done before with this phone called Iphone® made by a company called Apple® you should check it out.... this Diamond Touch is nothing that hasnt been done before. "For peat sake" go out and buy an iphone! I am!

Yes I've played with my mates iPhone, it was nice, slick and I wont deny was a nice phone but come on your starting to sound like Steve with all those copyright logos
Lets be nice guys. All i was addressing was, how many phones came out ever since the iphone, that didnt remind you in some way of the iphone? This Diamond is nice and all. I just see a wannabee iphone. Not being mean just saying. So please, lets respect each others comments.

Actually, I think the iPhone took a lot from older HTC phones and put it in their own package.
awww get off his back
he said nothing offensive...nor did he put anyone or anything "down"....just stated his opinion...to which he is entitled....that said...I agree that the apple more or less tends to miss quite a bit of what a ppc can do....even after it goes 3g there will be much to be desired.....just my opinion

I understand what you are talking. In my opinion, Iphone also trying to be more like windows. Apple tried very hard to add Microsoft office into their phone. And they also start to open their app to 3rd party (windows had done it long time ago). I think that each phone is trying to add as much as ability they can to become the most powerful phone. It is hard to say which phone copy which phone.
i think we shouldnt start the old iphone discussion again, but:
The iphone was more innovative than any other phone. Appel was the first that realised that mobile Internet will be the future.
But i wont even buy a iphone, okay
But what the hell did htc with windows mobile, its unbelievable and great, so please hack that **** and make me cab or buy me a Diamond
oh i forgot, make some drivers for mit touchcruise too, because i cant wait 1 hour for reading a email

Holy crap! Apple invented mobile internet!!
IMO....
I don't think it wants to be an iPhone but an iPhone killer. Personally I (for the first time) skipped a generation and didn't get a Kaiser upgrade from my Hermes (AT&T branded) as it didn't seem as impressive as the upgrade from my Wizard to the Hermes... actually my Wizard from the Blue Angel was the most impressive jump, then I met Jose Faria ...
The HTC Raphael (Diamond with a keyboard) is definitely worth the wait I believe.
As for the iPhone, big deal. To me it's just an iPod that can phone home. The browser IS nice but that's about it. As a phone it sucks. Edge sucks. No DirectPush email sucks (so what that it'll be available in June or so they say) And the lack of a real keyboard.... SUCKS! Very few people I know are really happy with their iPhones, but then that's probably just the crowd I hang with...
Just my two cents ...

simply no
their have been a handful of phones that try to imitate iphone... but the majority that dont far outway the majority that do...
simply put i think users want to imitate the iphone more so than the companies
Personally I believe discussing which phone is best, without specifying your needs, is pointless because it's all due to perspective. However, as far as "comapny's and people trying to imitate." Thank god they are! That's the type of competitive marketing that brings new ideas and technology. Hell, that's why the iPhone is here. So please stop complaining "Th3yr try1ng t0 b3 li3k if0ne!" because after all, the PS3 is just trying to be like Atari!
That being said, I am more interested in the Raphael than the Diamond. I wasn't impressed with trying to use the OEM keyboard on the Touch, so unless they fix that, I'm loving my QWERTY. Although, if they fix it, it WOULD be nice to be able to type single-handedly..

Magic or not Im down with one of those bottles.
@ronni:
Weather you'd like to admit or not, the more people that have our phone the better for us (as Devs), and the more Celebs that are seen with our phone the more people would buy it(not all but most). Im just happy hes not holding an Apple.

Clickety website. Tonight's show will be up to view soon.

Just watched it with my wife who loves iphone
Beat the motorola driod & nexus one - and (as said) nearly the iphone. Bearing in mind the gadget show loves the iphone to death :S
Ouch...the Nexus One took a panning
Considering how Apple biased these guys are, I think they must have been very impressed with the HD2. For me, the HD2 is the best phone available at the moment.

Also bearing in mind the review focused on two of the 'weaker' aspects of the HD2, the camera and text input, it just shows how good the HD2 really is (I personally think the camera is very good, up with my Ignito/Diamond if not better, and once I installed Swype - wow fantastic!)
I haven't had a single crash, no obvious issues with my 1.48 ROM + camera fix, totally happy so far

the region restricted video content has not been in place long. can't see the point of a site like others that restrict viewing to the UK where it airs anyway.
I always thought that the Gadget show was sponsored by Apple as they are so biased!
One thing though...Why didn't they include the Iphone as part of the tests?? surely that would have been a fair comparison....Well we all know that the Iphone would have been knocked off it's perch and they wouldn't want to show that!
Hi guys.
Today like each and every day I used youtube to search for the latest videos with HD2.
In the search results I get this : THROWING HD2 AT BRICK WALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! at first I believed maybe it's some fake video but ... i clicked on the link.
Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZJA8jHavxE
Why do people do such things? Why are they being so ungratefull??
Others would do anything to get their hands on a phone like HD2!!
It's just me that is being affected about this kind of behaviour?? What do you think??
He clearly didn't have to work for that phone... His mamma or pappa bought it for him...
Here's a better one... iphone v 9mm
Some people are just dicks......
Could be stolen.
Some people spend (or even waste) their money or stupid things, this guy likes to waste bucks in this way. We live in (mostly) free countries and can do whatever we want, so if he wants to do things like that, why not?

I thought it would be interesting to share that it seems like the iPhone 4 suffers also from a far from perfect camera, in this video it appears to have a nasty blue hue in the center of the video.
This isn't intended as an iPhone 4 bashing thread, so please don't waffle on about how you hate the iPhone, it was just an interesting observation I thought I'd share.
There's also a problem with the antenna in the new iPhone.
Let's face it: there is just no perfect phone! ;-)
I am sure that there are plenty of forums for iPhone users to discuss the faults of their phone - so I think that is where this thread should be.
I will show no schadenfreude at the iPhone's problems. As much as I don't like the total control of Apple, they did revolutionise the mobile phone interface.
ugh! Pee stains. I guess someone left a surprise from foxconn. =P

This is just brilliant, Steve Jobs, I salute you!
I've been hearing about the problems with the signal for the last couple of days.
It would appear that Apple are not satisfied with just telling Developers what and how to develope apps for their phone but now they feel the need to tell the end customer how to use the phone as well lol.
A more appropriate name for the iPhone 4 would have been 'iCommunist 4' lol.
On a side note, if the drop in signal is caused by the users hand conductivity, I would suggest just coating the effected area of the phone in a clear lacquer and this should resolve the issue.

What gets me is how review after review continue to rave how great the new iphone is without a whisker of a thought as to the negatives.
Its time that reviewers got of their high horse and thoroughly reviewed the iphone worts and all.
But wait....its steve jobs baby so any negative would see a defamation case against reviewer...
Not to bash iphone or anything but did you guys hear the crap with that photons thing on the camera technology in new iphone..
The apple fans would have been salivating big time with that hoopla from jobs...
but wait.....
Jobs now wants iphone 4 users to hold their gem in a unique aficionado way...what next?
Simplest solution of mine: DO NOT OWN IT, SO WON'T TOUCH IT AT ALL.
Now, HTC, when will you guys release the GSM version of the Evo 4G, quick!

Got an officemate who was showing off his "upgraded" 3GS with multitasking. Just told them I already had that about 10 yrs ago with my Orang Tanager Windows Mobile. He wasn't even sure if he could close the running apps or just hide it.
My gf walked past the Apple store in Milton Keynes yesterday.
They had barriers outside to cope with 70-80 people.
There was 1 person in the queue!
The shop was open and had only about 10 people inside (including staff) but like an unpopular nightclub, they were forcing people to wait outside in a failed attempt to look like they were busy
What a bargain...
