With the Touch Pro/Fuze, there were a few people I bumped into that had the device in hand before the release (job perks). Does anyone lurking this forum have the device in hand, or know someone that does?
I played with it in Gitex Dubai - UAE. Looks nice but i hate to judge a device while it is being connected to a power cable and a security cable.

can understand that. lst time i went into a shop to try out a touch diamond just to see the interface, it didn't even work because those idiots at the shop connected the security cable on top of the screen, destroying it ^^
But beside of this, can you tell us about your experience? how big does it feel? whats with the screen size? how does the interface handle on this version . tell us every bit!!
Sure,
Size: seemed big in hand, but again, i beleieve this sense is due to the 'Cables' below and Behind :|
Screen size and quality: simply Amazing.
Performance: seemed excellent, without any lag. better than diamond.
Look & Design: Better than what u see in utube or images

did you take a look at the virtual keyboard? if so, is it much better than on the diamond. (bigger keys, more space to read what your tiping and so on)

I can't wait any longer. I hope what you saying here we all wait to see for the coming moment of truth, please HTC release our TOUCH HD on the market as soon as possible
haha, i cant wait also for the release ....
as for the keyboard, it is yes, way better than hat on diamond. but i am using TOUCHPAL on diamond, so i can't tell exactly the difference from the built in which i never used.
Good thing, yes, the upper part of the screen is too big where u can see more while typing.

Hi,
May I know the dark silver frame around the screed is made by metal or plastic with plating only?
I was at the phoneshop today...
Seems like they will have it on display inside 10 days.....

Good. I liked the sturdy feel of the Diamond which was largely because of the robust feel that the metal border gives.
Good thing the HD has this too.
Does it feel solid in general? I like a phone that feels heavy and solid. I know the weight spec but it all comes down to the total feel.
Just got this in my work email from my Sprint rep
http://money.cnn.com/video/technology/2010/04/19/t_tt_4g_sprint_evo.cnnmoney/
CNN did an article on 4G and they used the pre-released EVO which means it will be here really soon I hope.. pretty cool check it out
-Charlie
What's with the random audio transitions that pop up?
Regardless of that, it's nice to see an EVO in action.

I know that the HTC Droid Incredible doesn't have the same multitouch problem as the N1/Desire. So maybe the same could be said for the EVO as well.

wow.. so freakin cool vid!!!
so.. this thing will work with Fingernails and stylus?? wow
....Supports stylus, fingernails, and gloves
what the hell does this mean???
....Size and angle of touch supported
side note.. it supports up to 10.2" but she is on a >30" screen.

From what I can gather, it looks like:
Angle touch is -- touching the device at an angle... Instead of using a stylus to go straight down (90 degrees) to accept, it supports angle touching..
Size touching - it measures the size of what is touching the screen. So you touch with a thumb vs a stylus, it measures the surface areas of the two.
I could be wrong though..

that is just silly for it not to do this... who would use the stylus or finger or anything in a 90degree angle? It is normally the point of contact that it registers. So I am guessing there is something else to this, and refers to some future benefit, but I cant think of any.
all just speculation on my part.

Not necessarily. I don't mean an exact 90 degree angle, but rather, a straight touch, and not picking up other parts of the screen...
But you're right, all speculation.
I thought it meant it can sense the angle at which something touches it. So it can tell if it's coming in at 45 or 90 degrees... Could be wrong though.
Sense angle?
How could it do that? A point of contact is just a point correct? To determine angle you would have to go through layers of detection right? A point on top layer compared to a point on a subsequent layer could determine angle, or a camera (multiple/3d) could sense angle, but how could a pad sensing a point (multiple points) on its surface determine angle?

Well... My guess is they do it by the diameter and shape of the sensed finger. It's not actually just a point. It's usually circular and they find the center point and use that. Your touch is generally far bigger than 1px. That's also how they can tell how hard you push down. Harder you push, the bigger the diameter. If you push on an angle, the shape distorts as well. It's not perfect, but I've seen it used. I forget where though.

0.56 inches versus the EVO's .5 inches. What are my fellow EVO owners' impressions on the Epic? The thickness was the only thing that caught my eye. I'm pretty leery when it comes to non-BlackBerry hardware keyboards.

I'm glad the evo is as thick as it is, any thinner and it would hurt my hand to hold it.
It looks like an interesting phone, reminds me too much of a PSP though. Though after having this big of a screen I don't think I could downsize.
The Moment was only (an average of) 4mm bigger than the Hero in each dimension and yet the Moment felt like a brick compared to the Hero.
It is amazing what a few mm will do, and don't forget to compare the weight!
Is this the "Galaxy S Pro" with a new name?
Will anyone be moving to this Samsung phone?
Do phones like these force you to use the physical keyboard?

Very true. The weights are:

No, you are not forced to use it. If you don't slide open the keyboard then the on screen keyboard will show.

Yes this is the biggest reason for the fact that it is barely any thicker. AMOLED means they need no backlight and super amoled with the touch screen built right into the actual screen means it's even thinner than normal amoled. This should save about 3mm right there.

I had no idea what a difference AMOLED made. I wonder if they will have shortages like the Incredible. I'm guessing that it won't be as bad since the Epic is coming straight from Samsung.
Has anyone heard if there will be a $10 charge for the Epic too, since it has WiMax? I would imagine so. Not that I'm interested in getting it, just curious if anyone has heard anything for sure.

That phone is impressive. Love the idea of taking pictures in 3d, but I suck at taking pictures, so a blurry 3d picture is just as worthless as a blurry 2d picture..
I like the front of the phone but the back of it kinda look like a gigantic cassette tape. Don't get me wrong I like HTC phones...I have an Evo and an Inspire. But I may pass on this one and grab the Nexus S instead.

If you're going to correct my grammar and try and rack up an extra post then fine. You forgot to put the "." inside of the quotations.
It's also convenient for using it as a clock at night...I'll miss the kickstand.
Despite it all I want the kickstand also
I'm sure 3rd party manufacturers will make cases with the kick stand. Not sure why they dropped it from the design though
I will miss the kickstand. I use it to take more stable pictures and when holding the phone in landscape mode. I flip the kickstand open and slide it between my ring and middle finger on my right hand. Helps so much! and big hands helps too I guess.
I haven't seen a picture of the back yet...where are you guys seeing that there's no kickstand?
Kickstands are FTW
I had a GS II but had to get rid of it because it caused me so much hand pain. I should declare that I do have existing problems with my hands but the Arc doesn't really cause me any problems. I think it was a combination of its width and the squareness of the design that did for me. I have tried out the Sensation and though that is only a bit narrower it seemed much easier on my hands, I reckon because it's a more rounded design.
I thought it was a good device but I am not going to keep using a phone that caused me that much constant pain.
First one i have come across though as it is larger i did recommend a young lady to hold it before buying .http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

It is a good device, just not for you. If you knew you had problems with your hand you should have spent more time with the phone before you bought it. It's like buying a car you never sat in and complaining about the driving position.
how exactly did it cause pain??? how can holding a phone hurt? there are things that are just beyond my comprehension.
Nope, i have a mans hand.
For me the phone is too slim and slippery, but silicone cover did the trick and it steadily fits my hand no problem.
I don't have too big hands but no problems with using it.

So have I. Which makes me think it's more the design than the size. The Arc isn't that much smaller but is narrower and a much better thought out ergonomic design IMO.
By the way I should have said I have a form of nerve issue with both hands.
Well it's quite big, so it's hard to use one handed. I have really girlish hands though.

Hehe I'm not saying that there's something wrong with the phone, but I can't reach the top left side of the screen one handed and barely reach the middle left side. That being said I wouldn't change that beautiful big screen for anything, so I can live with.

It's a fraction too wide for me, but I can live with it just. I've suffered from a bit of RSI in the past so I can imagine how it might hurt if you have similar issues (carpal tunnel etc).
The SE Arc next to this feels much nicer in the hand as it's about 5-8mm narrower - yet still sports a 4.2" display. Maybe that would suit better.
