I found a picture on FB, on wildfire's page, with trackball instead of trackpad. Is thi posible??
this was on the official wildfire page? or a fan page?
guess it could be done, the track pad and ball are the same size i think?
I guess is the official page...
Maybe it`s a photo of a prototype?
I think it's the Chinese version of the Wildfire. My guess is that they went with a trackball instead of the optical to cut costs.

no,that one has a front camera but this one hasn't.
Its a prototype, ive seen this picture when it was first announced.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
I think I read somewhere that this is more like the legend spec wise, but only available in china and in a wildfires body

Does anyone have an idea or thinks HTC will launch HTC Touch HD with QWERTY and call it HTC Touch HD Pro?
Anyway, that would be my perfect phone. I was about to buy HTC Touch Pro but when HTC Touch HD came out, I kinda relaxed thinking HTC Touch HD might be the right product for me. All I can think of now is, will those fellas in Taiwan come up with the Pro version for HTC Touch HD?
Any suggestions?

I had the same thoughts, then I realised that we did not have qwerty with the original Pocket Pc's. Therefore why not use a fold up (stoway) keyboard. Carry with you only when needed and it is better sized keyboard as well. Then when not required you only carry a thin phone with you the HD!

I was going to post the exact same thoughts. I too wanted to pick up the HTC Touch Pro. But after seeing the HTC Touch HD, I convinced myself I would be willing to wait up to a year, for something with that screen and a QWERTY slider. I hope HTC has this in their recent plans.
The thing is as the screen is quite large, the keys on the virtual keyboard may be quite wider and therefore make your typing more accurate. Also there are third party software keyboards that are full screen such as spb full screen keyboard. Google "spb full screen keyboard screenshots" and go to the first result.
BTW, does anyone know how I can get rid of the vodafone logo at the top right corner of this post? I am not on vodafone anymore. Cant figure where in my profile settings I can remove it.
The truth of the matter is, when it comes to engaging in multiple sms texting communications, it's hard to beat an actual, physical keyboard. It seems HTC would agree by their decision to produce the HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Pro (I know there are other hardware specs also).
What would be the harm to allow consumers to have the option? I don't consider a portable folding keyboard as an option, to engage in texting and emailing discussions. That would be too cumbersome for quick messaging.
Come on HTC..........bring this to reality.......bring this to the states for ATT 3G. Hopefully this could be a true Hapy Thanksgiving in 2009. I'm prepared to wait it out a year for this one.

This is almost impossible. A friend used to have something like that for one of his old HTC PPC without the physical QWERTY - I think it was cruise or p3600. He gave it away for a kaiser so nothing beats the physical.
Imagine dropping ur fold-up keyboard home thinking, ok no heavy texting today. Suddenly, during the day you find yourself out of the office and had to send loads of emails and txt colleagues. Damn you will bite those fingers
Was thinking Athena earlier before Touch Pro. My brother got that and I wasnt all that impressive with what I saw. I wanna belive HTC Touch HD Pro will come out Q1 2009
HTC Touch HD Pro is what I am waiting for if it would finally see the daylight.

So someone add more networks to Finland. We do not have Telia anymore here
I just want a bigger screen then my Tilt with VGA and 3G here in the USA
the keyboard to me is no big deal
Looks like I will do the upgrade to the Fuze from my Tilt on my wifes upgrade then maybe if the HD comes to the USA in 2009 I can do the upgrade on my account
I hope
If they could also add
-Flash
-VGA video recording at 30 fps
-DVB-H (we got nation wide coverage of DVB-H overhere in the Netherlands)
and maybe even :
-Opticall zooming
Then it would come close to the perfect phone untill Nvidia tegra processors arive.
thanks Bjluv!

Looking at the HTC site it looks like the Magic and Hero are nearly identical, save the camera and headphone socket

oh good lord...
I hope this won't affect my HTC Sense experience too much
i was wondering if we get multi touch on our magic's now that hero has it? :/
It is android OS that is not allowing multi touch... AFAIK the Magic also has multi touch...
Apparently the magic and dream will get the new cool interface that hero has to offer and also flash will be available on magic in the not distant future

I actually think the Hero looks great! It stands a bit out, compared to others....and the vid's around looks good. Guess this will be my next HTC (a nice upgrade from my current Cruise)
The multitouch is only a software limit on the Magic. I've installed the Hero rom and the browser got the multitouch... with it's speed limit of course... flash also is there... don't know if Adobe will make this build available on its site so one can install it on other Magic roms...

Is there any weight to this? Since the reg isn't a dedicated HTC/Smartphone website I'm not entireley convinced that they have their facts right here but it's interesting nonetheless.

Also if it IS true.. what a load of crap? 628 mhz? no keyboard i guess.
Why no 1ghz snapdragon or some kind?
not particularly bothered about any of the specs, but it will be running android.
Personally, I'm a little sceptical. There is a lot of bogus information out there. I've seen people create images of the HD with a qwerty keyboard and the following day websites using these same images are advertising the HD Pro.
I don't see any mention of this phone anywhere else, this is were my skeptism comes from.
Yep, I agree with you FallenSpartan, there's loads of fakes and photoshops out there. But the Register is a pretty big website and they like HTC phones a lot - Touch HD is still in their top 10 I think. Will be interesting to see whether some more info creeps out over the next few days.
El Reg is a pretty reliable source - I'd be very surprised if this wasn't true.
And disappointed - means I can jump to Android for a while without getting the Hero - aka the Forsyth (as in Bruce) Phone. I don't think I could live with that chin.

Sure, no keyboard. It's a main feature and selling point of the Touch HD.

Nothing concrete or confirmed by HTC yet
Just got an X10, i've been using Legend for some days now (im in the business, as you might imagine)
The first thing that struck me: the keyboard... It doesn't register all key presses, compared to the Legend, it's really frustrating to writing on X10.
I've been happy with the speed on Legend, and thought that X10 would be even more blazing fast. But it isn't. Actually, its slower (!) I tried install Raging Thunder II on both phones, and it's running more smooth on the Legend.
X10 have way better hardware, but an older OS. Don't know how much this has to do with the fact that X10 seems slower than the Legend.
Would be interesting if the Desire ROM could be installed on X10
For now, I feel that HTC has done a way better job, customizing Android on a phone, and i'm gonna stick to Legend as my primary phone. But gonna use X10 for some weeks with twin simcard. Just want to test it properly
Try SmartKeyboardPro on X10. Must better that Standart Keyboard.
Try Asphalt 5 on X10 to see whats a good game
What compilation do you have? IE, your firmware.
Where did you get the X10? are you in the UK?

Yes. I think there's a free version named SmartKeyboard (without pro). If not try to change from standart keyboard to Android Keyboard.
X10 keyboard has a good layout but doesnt register some key. I had the same problem you have.
Can you tell me your firmware version, pls? Just to compare

Yeah
The screen is really nice. big and high res.
I don't mean, and try to be negative about X10. Guess I really was a bit surprised that i found Legend (low cost Android compared to X10) to be a better phone.. for now.. It might just be that Android 2.1 runs way better. I don't know.. But ok. i'll be fair. Going to update this post in a few days, gonna use them both for a few weeks
did you purchase it from an online store or did you get it from a business or something?
My delayed X10 arrives tommorow...
Ive also used the Legend since it came, and love it!!!
However, its the X10 I was looking forward too....
So, Ill give it the easter vacation to make a decition on what phone to keep...
Probabely both....
it comes with android 2.0 right? or is it 1.6?
it comes with 1,6. an 2.x update will come later this year(hopefully this year)

thats what I thought, but I ordered mine and they told me that its coming with 2.0. Everyone says it ships with 1.6, but he insisted that mine will ship with 2.0. I guess I'll have to wait and see. Arxx can you double check and see what yours is
anyone tried download dolphin browser from the market and multi touch working on dolphin browser
Yes, please. I really wish someone already has a X10 in hand, please test if multi-touch zooming works in Dolphin browser. I ordered mine, and mine is shipping on its way. I'm so worried about the negative multi-touch news came out today.

Multi-touch zoom will not work in Dolphin, or any other software. SE have confirmed that the X10 lacks any kind of hardware multi-touch support. No hardware, means no support. Period.

Just tested, and now i can confirm that under Dolphin browser, there is no multi / dual touch . Hope with Android 2.x there will be at least dual touch...

Now I've been sitting with my X10 for a couples of hours...
..and Im not really impressed. I do not like the keyboard, the device feels slow, timescape I know I will never use... Touchscreen feels to plastic-like..
The legend feels 10 times as good...
And dont get me started on exchange integration.. That part is just a joke...
It works kind of... But its just a mess....
And I who really was looking forward to this phone :/
Hello,
today I bought my Wildfire, I love it.
But I have a problem, if I would download other HTC-Widgets on the screen for add Widgets, I couldn't get anyone..
Translated from german:
"Widgets could not be loaded. Tap it again to try it."
other have the same problem?
There is a solution?
Same here...
anyone know, it it available for other devices? or all other have it too?
same problem on my device
Not had a problem with that and got my phone Friday. I have found it hard to tell the difference bettween apps and widgets when in the store though.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Works now but in my case there are just 2 of them ( Not very usefull once )

Hi!
I can only download Dice Roll and Tip Calculator and they aren't useful. I think there's much more widgets coming through with Froyo
The same on my device.
Can someone tell me when froyo will be released for wildfire?

The desire gets the real update soon on most UK networks so give it a month or so should be out on the wildfire as it was made in 2010 it is in the look for 2.2 so I read also what try Launcher Pro I have also seen that the Wildfire is limited with the sense version of the screen.
I got it two weeks ago,I can add HTC or 3rd party widgets on screen, no error.
