Has anyone ran into anyplace where you can purchase the HTC Raph back shell cover?
I heard it isn't as glossy/fingerprint magnet as the Euro version.. more rubberized.
www.cnn.cn doesn't have anything listed, not even a TP.
take a piece of sandpaper and remove that shine.

LOL....funny i'm thinking of that too...but lucky my HTC back cover is rubberized..........
Sorry forgot to mentioned mine HTC is asian model...

It's exactly what it says it is. A battery cover. A pouch for an extra battery.

Oops... Seems they reused the same stock image for the P3300's battery cover.

Still, $33 is a lot of money for rubberized plastic, especially if I'm not even 100% certain it'll fit. And I want to see an accurate picture before I plunk money down.
My TP has rubberized back. Bought in Norway.

haha!
I forgot to mention that I have the Fuze
All that someone needs to do is see if the European Touch Pro cover fits the US AT&T Fuze.
Doesn't anyone have access to both phones to test this???
(Interesting...This is my first post and I've been a member since April 2006....I'm always in here reading and I just never thought to ask anything before...weird because I post all the time over at HoFo).
if someone has a dremel tool, maybe u can fine sand it, and leave the triangle that says HTC and around the camera/flash untouched, make a rectangle shape around the autofocus text, then take it to the mall to one of those dog tag kiosk that can itch your name or logo on the back like laser itch, i think that will look cool...
while ur at it itch ur e-mail/contact info on the inside of the cover in case it gets lost!!

can you post a pic of that?
has anyone ran into anything yet?
Found This case on ebay, think i can just use the back part on my fuse?
I saw the one on ebay too, but how come there is a big triangular hole where the camera is? How are you supposed to cover that or is it just left open?
I believe they want you to transfer it from your existing hardware... But, with my luck I would screw it up and not have a battery cover at all.

Cool, good news! I been waiting for a more higher end Android model. I heard this one will have the sex appeal of the iphone and HTC Touch Pro II plus the functionality of WM and SE including the Cupcake OS (forbidden word ) plus a 3.5mm headset jack (wtf is that?! HTC users might ask, lol!). Looks like a great phone and am looking forward to it after I get my Touch Pro II (yeah, I will get burnt for saying that in this tiny, little Android thread surrounded by a million WM users, heheheh!) I do worry though, the article and some others state that this might be a DT thing and NOT T-Mobile USA release. Do you have any confirmation from your friend that this WILL BE coming to T-Mo. US?
this is too good to be true
Yes, he confirmed to me that it was coming to TMobile, but he didn't give me an exact date. Like I said, he has the prototype model, so I will try to snap some pics if he chooses to show me tomorrow, as he really isn't supposed to. Haha I ever offered to buy it from him, of course he said he had to decline, not because he didn't want to but because he couldn't. OH and one more major thing, is that the G1 will be released in several new colors, including red, green, and silver during the second quarter. However, that is just coming from him, no confirmation yet.

cant wait
the fone looks awsomee
when it comes out i might give up my g1 for it
Will it have wi-fi?

According to the article, it will have wifi.
It looks nice, has some good updates from the g1, BUT it does not have a slide out keyboard, only soft keyboard. The reason I get HTC phones only now is for the slide out.
I'm excited
This phone is uber sexy. The moment they release this phone you can bet. Ill be trading this phone in. I'm just wondering how they will root it without a hard keyboard?? Will it be rooted like the iphone is jailbroken??
A nice looking phone, but I too need the QWERTY love.
Definitely glad to see more Android phones on the market, though.
-bZj
i think the g1 looks way better then that cheap looking phone, i think all stay with a keyboard
idk, no slideout keyboard? i might have to pass on this one. it looks good though.
Wow I never thought about it. No alt-s with no keyboard. There's gotta be a way though, I mean, there has to be a recovery mode, etc.
whatever happened to this phone? It looked like a nice phone. Anyone else think it has an uncanny resemblance to the iPhone 4 which came out a year after the announcement of this?
Haha yea I agree about it looking like an iphone 4- thats exactly what I thought when I first saw the picture..
And I have no idea what happened to it, perhaps it disappeared into the rumor mill abyss. Also did you read his comment about the g1 coming out in different colours??! pink and blue, etc.. Craziness.. As far as I know that never happened either..
Wow.... So old and how naive we were back then lol.
Yes, YAKST(Yet another kickstand thread), but I have searched the forums and nobosy has done this.
I recently purchased a dummy HTC Evo from ebay for 20 bucks(a), now the idea here is to take this thing apart and extract the kickstand assembly(b) from it and pry it on an HD2 rubberized case(c), and hopefully it'll look something like(HTCEVOHD2.jpg).
I'm going to buy some tools to get this done, I'm thinking a dremel type tool and a glue gun... any ideas are welcomed!
I will be using the instructions found here: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-HTC-Evo-4G-Kickstand/3064/4
Will post actual pictures of the mod, maybe a youtube video... Check back soon, as I am impatient and will try to get this done in the next few days...

I'm only using the kickstand assembly which can be detached, nothing else.
Well... Maybe the logo, if I can get it off...
cant wait to see how this comes out! good luck dude

Hey thanks... I did not anticipate how thick the kickstand assembly is, now I know why the Evo is a mini fridge... I need to get a tool to cut the rubberize case with precision, does anybody have any ideas what i should get?

yes, if you like to modify, hack, and customize stuff to your liking, then a dremel is definitely a tool you would like to have
Hey any luck with this? i'd like to see what the results were. thinking about doing the same thing to my incredible that already has extended battery with tpu case as back cover
This is very interesting. If you guys are looking for a stand take a look at my signature.
clever, nice idea - I'm gonna give that one a go!
I wanted to make this thread because I've read in a few different threads that people are having problems with the slide up screen.
Apparently, if you hold the phone upside down - the screen will slide down and sort of just do it's own thing.
I also read that some people who have their G2 are not experiencing that same problem. Defect? Or is it supposed to do that and is a result of bad designing?
I plan on getting my G2 Oct. 6 and I just wanted everyone to be aware of that potential problem.
If you are having or not having that issue, feel free to let it be known below.
Thanks!!
I'm pretty sure it's a defect with a few people's phones. So far, only one person out of like 6-7 said it happened to them. Maybe he could tighten a torx screw or something? Not too big of a deal... I guess we'll see!
I thought the issue was when it's closed, people hold it upside down and it starts to kind of open up?

I have this issue. If you hold the bottom of the phone, and them hold the phone upside down, then the screen portion slides along the hinge all on its own.
I believe this is an issue with it being a non spring loaded hinge, but I will confirm tomorrow maybe if I can drop by a T-mobile store and ask to see their demo ( I think they will let me if they see I have one)
Hmm.. I'm pretty picky about these kinds of things. Crossing my fingers the G2 I get will be solid.

From my readings on this forum, more than one...
Lol, yeah. My bad I must have miss read your OP.
Haha, all good. But man I really want this phone. Luck pre order people
When's your arrival date? They got me for the 1st.
the demo i have has this problem, i'm not really that picky but to be honest i feel a bit burned on the slide since i had a G1 first and insurance couldn't get me another one.

Then it sounds like this is an issue that might happen with time? Hinge gets loose/relaxed?

See I can't really call it loose. And if it were any firmer it wouldn't slide right. I just guess I wish it would hold tighter? I'm not sure. Its solid as hell , and the hinge is metal , and slides like butter, and when in the up it has a very slight wobble? Maybe its something to get used to.
It doesn't feel cheap by any means. But in that respect I'm not entirely sure how it is supposed to feel..being one of the first owners and all.
i don't like that it "falls" open, not that i hold the phone at that angle very frequently, but it would annoy me later on. but as already stated, it's not really loose, the only person to use this thing was me all day and it was like this right out of the box, i think the hinge itself is a little too slick(greased or internally loose) but it may get better with time. we will see what happens, as with all things we won't know till later
Haha man, I'm not even pre order status. I have to wait until it comes out. But I got a homie who works at T-Mobile. He said he gonna hook me up some how.
But yea, I wonder if they will fix this on 2nd gen models. Not wanting to wait that long tho. Sucks that this is an issue tho.

I wouldn't even say it needs fixing. The G1 wasn't even solid initially. The left side wobbled etc. The EPIC has wobble side to side when screen is closed and when open.. I think this is the most solid slider I have used since the TP2. I guess I'm just gripe-y
hehehe! I'd rather have this issue than the one on the MTS. You practically need a crowbar to open the keyboard. and as you open it, it makes a horrible grinding sound.

don't worry about it man! screw the isheep...
Mine does not do that.
I wouldn't worry about it. Worst case you'll get it replaced.
Just realized today that there is some dirt under the glass screen on the top left corner. When the screen is on, it is hard to notice. But since I plan on selling this phone to get my next one during the summer, I want this thing to be mint.
Do you know if Sprint will replace my entire phone or will they just replace the display in-store? I hope it's the latter...
BTW, any chance of getting a White EVO replacement?
Oh boy.... /me gets into his flame retardant suit.

Kind of figured it was an honest mistake.... but I still was prepared for the worst
Also suprised no 'white knights' have shown up yet.
He just wants us to develop a solution for him. Hence the development part of the forum.

I only play white night when I can tell people did it on purpose.
It's pretty clear no bad intentions here.
But as a side note I've got the same problem and right now having a battle with sprint trying to get them to fix it. They are seriously being pricks.
I think I'll threaten to move to verizon.
That'll get them going.

Yes and no; NEXT!
JK
I would say that sprint will switch it for you if you complain enough, and to the correct person; however there is zero chance of a white evo unless because of the variance in SKUs.
I have had the screen replaced twice on my Evo for dust in the upper left corner. This defect was corrected but the scecond screen I got was also one of the originals. The third I have now appears to be the one with the revised gasket.
Youre going to get hella flamed, but meh, its the internet.
Anyways, YES sprint will replace it. They replaced a friends evo for dust, and my sisters hero that had dust. I plan on selling mine to get my next phone too
