The fact that our phones are made in Japan, they're only released in the u.s., and our mascot is a Canadian south park robot?
a turd sandwich? lol

HTC is a Taiwanese company, not Japanese.....
and recent speculation is that the "mascot" (if you are referring to the android) is lifted from an old Atari Lynx game: http://eceplayground.com/2010/09/02/androids-origin-google-in-trouble/

There's hardly anything here that we didn't already know, but an unveiling date of "next week" sure catches our eye. A new report over at The Wall Street Journal confirms earlier details that were fed to us over Sprint's first-ever WiMAX smartphone, and now we're learning that the HTC Supersonic will be officially revealed to the world at CTIA next week. We've heard before that the carrier anticipates selling a 4G phone "this summer," but you can bet we'll be digging for a hard ship date and price tag when we hit the scene in Las Vegas in just five short days.

i just cant wait for the supersonic to be released. i seen the nexus one will be coming to sprint but [email protected]#$ that i want rosie and 4g. plus the device looks really nice. only thing it seems to be missing is a jogball or jogpad. but with or without im gonna be on it when its released.... i hope so at lease. funds could be kinda tight. might have to sleep i=on the couch for a week for splurging though.
Here's some info from the Wall Street Journal.

Not good news...looks like Q4 for 2.1.
Why do you say that? "Coming weeks" falls in line with the end of Q3 schedule quite nicely.
AT&T is too late.
x10 isn't as attractive than evo 4g or droid x or galaxy S.
Not to mention Iphone.
I don't see their sales will go up. Now if x10 was released in feb or match by At&T that's another story.

What do u mean x10 isn't attractive?Galaxy S is just another iphone ripoff, evo 4g looks like a brick sent into a squashing machine and while the droid x doesn't look too bad, it doesn't compare to the X10's design

what? are you serious ?
Sadly, North americans are people that sulk in pursuing numbers and names. Not their functions nor design.
If not then Iphone wouldn't be sold so many here. which iphone user actually looked into and compare the function of Iphone against other before buying an Iphone.
And evo 4g isn't really 4g (from what i read). But everyone think it is 4g and buy it out.
While functions, x10 lost to all the latest phones. The only thing that is attractive enough is SE's brand name, which some of us bought it because of it.

I'm not into names, numbers or looks, only function.
Bought the X10 because it was/is the largest screen Android phone in Canada with North American 3G. (wasn't going to pay $800 to import an N1)
Happy with Android 1.6 but wish it did BT Voice Dial.
Don't care about looks which is why I stuck a 2600mAh battery in it's butt
BTW, I also never understood the iPhone attraction.
x10 is very good looking in white or black, It fits in the hand good not like the hd2. Soon or later 2.1 would come, and I don't care about 2.2. Anyway, all I want to say is x10 is good and just give it a try.
Sorry, but your posts make no sense. The Evo 4G is 4G, which is available only in a very limited number of major American cities.
The Evo 4G is not a true competitor for any other phone because it is such a niche product.
The Galaxy S, Droid Incredible, Droid X, and Droid 2 are the X10's biggest competition, but I assume that AT&T will price the X10 accordingly (i.e. lower than the others).
hmm so where is HondaGuy? Any answers for doubting me that the X10 is coming to AT&T since I was the first to state it a while ago?
The AT&T logo appears only in the back on the cover, we get to keep our XPERIA logo on the front
And 2.1 will be ready near the end of Q3 in September, the Q4 one is something else Let's just say we will be happy 2 more times with our X10 before the year ends
As late as the x10 is coming into the game for the american market, I feel that it is still plenty competitive with other flagship smartphones. There are only few minor issues with the x10, being the lack of MT and the lower built in ram and rom.
If at&t markets the phone correctly to those looking for a high quality camera phone, I think the x10 can make a great impression. While looks is an interpretive concept, I have heard a lot of positive comments about the phone's design and imo is currently the best looking phone available with android. For those reasons, I think the x10 will definitely get some crapple converts.

The way that the 4 is selling out everywhere, no "crapple" owner is going to convert.
However, plenty of RIM users will jump onto the Android train.
These are hish wash here in the US. You go to ATT local store all you can see is selection of 10 crappy phone which they have put four of each in every corner (4x10 - 40 crappy phones) and a stand with iPhone on it. I have been ATT customer for 4 years now and I have never bought a phone from them. Phone Company in the US suck with no options. People don't care about the phone, as long as it has iphone options or some cool other feature or even if it doesn't.
We see the phones as gadget many people don't see it that way.
I wish t-mobile could bring their European policy here in the US.$0 for phone anything you like.
Let them be happy with their iPhone. as long as they are not using it for their pregnancy test.
Some reason I think X10 will do great in US.
When X10 was realesed, I doubted that it won't really do well in front of HTC and Motorola as it was Sony Ericsson's first Android device and no multitouch with 1.6
When I bought, I was amazed. I think the user experience is Brilliant!!! Top notch phone with hardware specs. The problem is not X10, it's the Sony Ericsson's delays with upgrades, but not to forget they are catching up. It's not they are not doing anything about it
Damn just saw the official specs and no support for US AT&T/Rogers Canada bands. Sucks!
well to be fair this is Europe's first 4.3" android device. I've been waiting a year for it too. You guys in the west have two 4.3" android devices.
From zdnet:
"Both of the new HTC handhelds are expected to start shipping to European and Asian markets in October, but North American fans are going to have to (unfortunately) wait until some unknown point “later this year.” On the bright side, there are only a few more months left of 2010, so the wait can’t be that long, right?"
Here is to hoping!!

I really hope so. This is the phone I want, if it can get the TMOUSA HSPA+ speeds. I would sell my nexus one in a heartbeat.

Yeah but not on AT&T. All we have is the Samsung Captivate and an outdated Dell Streak running 1.6 that you can only order through Dell. I am an HTC fan and if this could hop the pond to AT&T, I would be ecstatic.

Did they change it because it now reads:
"The new HTC Desire HD and HTC Desire Z will be broadly available through mobile operators and retailers across major European and Asian markets from October 2010 with the HTC Desire Z shipping in North America later this year."
Just the Z, no HD?
Well if you look at HTC's site for the specs on the Desire they list all Asian/Europe bands, but one can purchase the the Rogers HTC Desire and it will work on the AT&T network.
I am hoping the same happens with the Desire HD. Hope Rogers picks it up so AT&T customers can purchase that one.
Additionally I hope they aren't using ClearPad 2000 on it.

Why don't you get the regular HTC Desire? I'm on AT&T, just got one of these, there are 3 models. The A8183 has US 3G bands. The phone is awesome!

Ebay...its an A8183 though, not an 8182. I believe the 82 would work though too. About 650 plus shipping.

To be fair, the States has the Evo 4G...that's a 4.3" Android device. And it's very similar to the Desire HD.

It's, not similar, it *is* the EVO. It's just got a different version of Sense.

Yes, they are the same device. The G2 is a vanilla version of the Desire Z.
I don't watch TV but I'm visiting family and saw a XOOM trailer.
Interrupted the family l conversation to say hey look it's my XOOM?!
Only my sister replied saying "what's your XOOM? "Lol.
Anyway, American Superbowl trailer was ace.
UK advert was rubbish, some Guy swiping the home screens, and showing Google maps 3d (which doesn't work in uk) in a robotic fashion.
Anyway, nice to see an advert finally, over here, needs a bit more effort though.

google maps 3d does work in UK in three cities I think?
Birmingham is one of them...
Woo, 3 cities

Europe is voting on this some time this month.

Edit:
From the headlines
They tried to push internet censorship through Congress and we stopped them. But the companies behind SOPA & PIPA have a backup plan: secretive trade agreements like ACTA & TPP.
If we can't stop these backroom deals, the internet's future belongs to SOPA's backers.
Probably only a matter of time before our country ends up looking like the fifth element
