qtek 9600

Looks sweet to me =)
http://mobilforum.se/articles/20060218/1995.html
the news are in swedish but you can figure out the specs from reading the text...
I like the Samsung S3C2442 300 MHz part and 2,1 megapixels =)

It's really quite scary how fast these things are being pumped out... I honestly fear that official support for a device bought a mere 6 months ago will be non-existant. Oh wait, I suppose we don't get much in the way of official support -now-, huh? :>
Anyway.. looks like a nice device - I still love the button layout and design of the 9100.. looks like they fell back to their 'old' design for this one. Still no ctrl/alt on the slide-out keyboard, that's kinda silly.
I hope Qtek fixed the typo on the front camera, though :> ( Note: it reads "Vedio" in the official HTC Hermes press images. oops. )

Can anybody tell me the performance differences between SAMSUNG and INTEL CPU?

Looks good apart from inclusion of MICROSD slot. Why oh why another format - just invested in 2GB minisd. Please HTC change your mind then i will be interested otherwise stick with my wizard.
I know the above referred article says minisd but most of the other articles on the hermes say microsd - see coolsmartphone
and engadget

MicroSD because it's even smaller - means they have more space for other hardware / they can make the device smaller. Not that they have to be particularly smaller for me.. a bit thinner would be nice

Seem's like they have putted on a jogDial(SE P910) on the side instad of volume control Very very nice!!
The new design was however a bit boring.
Jack

I am excited to see how this device performs, may even have to pick one up if I have the extra cash. I also just read that on the horizon is the HTC Herald which has a similar form factor as the Wizard but at 18mm thick it is 21% slimmer. Can't wait to see the stats on that one....maybe a microminiSD.

More pics of the hermes!
:lol: 8)

More extensive review of the hermes here - looks good. Will be the wizard replacement i think. I want one!
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/5011.html

Supposedly the UMTS is not compatible with US 3G networks.
Next.

A comparison of the wizard and hermes here.
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-hermes/
Note the hermes does not have stereo speakers like the wizard and the hermes has the microsd slot which currently microsd cards have a max capacity of 512 mb. Most of the new
models by htc have microsd slots - this is worrying concerning future upgrades with low capacity memory capability.
Long live the wizard! :wink:

A new review of the probable successor/upgrade to the wizard here - htc hermes (sorry its in french)
http://www.mobinaute.com/mobinaute/article.php?id=20060317145418
Looks like final version may have samsung or intel 400mhz processor - looks promising

microSD and UMTS that isn't supported in the US, i'll pass

Maybe darkjedi will prefer the HTC trinity - seems your style rather cool and dark
HTC Trinity is following the idea of a non-keyboard HTC Magician, it will have Intel processor and support Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, A-GPS and HSDPA standard

but does it support US UMTS?

The Qtek 9600 Pocket PC is the second device from Qtek offering third generation mobile phone technologies. The unit will have Wideband CDMA; the technology created from a fusion of proposals to act as the European entrant for the ITU IMT-2000 family.
The Qtek 9600 will have a QWERTY slide out keyboard for easy data input on the move. It will run Windows mobile 5.0 and has a 2.1 mega pixel comera on the front. This supurb communications devise offer the speed required to make mobile emailing and data downloading a pleasure. The Qtek 9600 includes all the features you would expect, like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 2.1 Megapixel camera with flash, a video camera, 300Mhz CPU, 320 x 240 QVGA screen from a high end devise.
Question is will this replace the wizard? Or I had heard rumors of another replacement - keep you posted.

I don't know, I might skip this round and wait on some more detials about the Herald which is supposed to be thinner than the Wizard or Hermes and same slide out keyboard.

Cingular's plans are to skip UMTS and roll out HSPDA. I believe the Hermes supports this as well.

thats hsdpa :lol:

though meschle's device is overclocked, so he does have a HSPDA

Haha... and good drivers for this chip

Any news of this from MWC2009?

To be honest, because of the low sales of the X7510, they are not going to change anything in the new version just so they can get rid of their excess hardware stock. I feel they will only upgrade the following:
Capacitive screen
Bigger resolution
Bigger ROM and RAM
and the rest stays the same...
Just look at what they did with the new HTC Touch PRO 2. Nothing new, still the same old device with a few changes. No big leaps...nothing...

Maybe we can hope that we get hold of a new ROM that the cooks might be able to tweak for our existing devices?

HTV Thoth
The HTC Advantage 4 will be the coolest device ever. It has time travel something like the Apple Time Machine. 3D hologram chat, which means you can see your girlfriend live in front of you. An option to dump windows OS for Apple iphone OS. 15 million pixel camera, a laser beam to defend yourself like Star Wars.
Please place your orders with HTC right now.

greatestkelvin
Ha-ha-ha, cool!

Thoth: More info, 09-2009 release date?
The big news (rumored, not confirmed) is that the processor and RAM/ROM will be upgraded:
HTC 7500/7501/7510 http://www.htcwiki.com/page/Athena?t=anon :
Processor: 624 MHz, Intel PXA270
RAM: 128 MB
ROM: 256 MB
Thoth:
Processor: 1GMHz Qualcomm 8250
RAM: 256 MB
ROM: 512 MB
Additionally, 5.0MP camera, and 480x800 screen.
Still no word on SSD, but I would estimate at least 32GB, but hoping for 64GB!

Let's cross our fingers that HTC won't try and screw something up. They always do in the end. So I guess we will have to wait.

pre-ordering Athena 2 aka Thoth
Where can you place a pre-order?

Any news/info about the Thoth/Athena 2?
I can't found at FCC site.

Hopefully something will be released soon:
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/06/02/htc-showing-some-new-stuff-in-london-on-june-24/

Thoth isn't dead yet...
Here are some recent rumors (same info, from different sites):
http://www.modaco.com/content/windo...thoth-and-omni-may-be-more-than-just-renders/
http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/HTC...ing-on-the-Thoth-and-Omni-article-a_7289.html
http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=8549
All very tenuous so far. Looks like nothing until 2010...

I hope they release a clamshell device.

If you look at the way HTC's site is configured, it is set up for:
Touch
Touch/type
type only
Since the Athena is touch/type I doubt it be a clamshell, but there are other devices that may be like the Shift

They really should resume development of the Thoth, it seems its time has really come now with the release of the Apple iPad, the Amazon kindle, the Dell mini 5 or even the Samsung mondi, it seems everyone is racing to fill in that sweet spot between maximum portability and capability.
As far as I see it, the htc athena / advantage was years ahead of its time, and consumer demand is only now beginning to catch up with these sort of toss it on the couch when your done surfing the web type devices.
And with Fennec, aka Firefox Mobile about to be released in a few months, with full desktop style youtube and google video support, it will be prime time for the Thoth to establish itself as the original iPad, Kindle, Mini 5, and Slate Pc killer.
C'mon HTC: don't miss out on this opportunity.

I dont get it!!
why would any x1 owner want to replace it with this? it has the exact spec
and its uglier!!
not to mention that x2 probably wont have xda support

I agree. The case will probably crack .
iPhone 3gs or samsung omnia pro it is then...

they better not ask 750 bucks for it out the door.. not with the same outdated procesor... ****in milkin it for all she's worth.... i smell a boycott... <disgrunted se customer

omg... i don't want it... the screen 3.2" is still too small (for me)... and why don't i buy the prettier X1 but the uglier & (likely to be) more expensive X2 ???

i thought it looked quite nice.lol. can never tell from just pictures anyway. ill reserve judgement for when i see one in the flesh. id imagine its like when they went from the p900 to p910. where they didnt really change the specs much but improved on a lot of the bugs and usuability. im hoping they sorted the keyboard issue and the terrible reception...

I thought it looked nice. The camera is better, and what does it for me is the fact that it gains tv-out.
Where does it say it is using the same processor?

another vid here
http://www.youtube.com/user/sonyericssonworld#play/uploads/1/llk8fS0BkaE
looks like much more solid than the x1, also its got a flush screen and the led has moved to the top rather than 2 on each side which is dissapointing. was hoping they had kept the illuminations and mayb added a user editor this time around.
very nice user interface but i wouldnt be surprised if someone manages to figure out a way to flash it to the X1
dont like the sound of this though..
"It comes with a 4GB microSD card (Sony Ericsson has clearly given up on M2) and will ship in October, likely when the first Windows Mobile 6.5 devices appear, exclusively with Vodafone in the UK. "
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...ny-ericsson-finally-launches-xperia-x2-631224

I wish our great cookers gonna steal some stuff from x2 like PanelManager and some new panels. On second video we can see that performance is quite bad, normal honeycomb menu is very choppy. I think it's waste of money when the same stuff we can have on our x1

im not gona hold my breath for an october release but i hope its out before christmas. one advantage to it using quite a bit of the same tech as the X1 is that sony should be able to release it much quicker than the X1.
anyone know if its still got the optical touchpad?

SE-First.com reports that it has the same processor.

well they can go to hell if it's the same CPU, f*ck them.

how Gille1, very interesting comment ...

hope it got an better cpu. heared it got 512 mb ram?
but it has a lot of advantages: 8.1mp camera, motion sensor, tv-out, bigger screen, stereo-speakers. not exactly the x1, right?

I wonder if this will have solid rom AOSP/ROM support... you might imagine so considering it's running MIUI out of the box.
Also, battery life.

Will it have an english MIUI available though?

Great specs, especially love the option for 3000mAh albeit with an extra 2mm thickness. But no mention of an SD card slot?? 16GB inside is fine but not enough for me on the whole.

I want one so bad! Hopefully we can manage to get them here in the US for under $400... It's beautiful.

Based on what I've read, don't expect to get your hands on it until the specs are no longer a wow factor.
Apparently this company has some very interesting marketing strategies, the price is apparently more so an initial head turner and far from permanent. Supply is also iffy.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

Only missing feature is NFC, but hard to complain about at that price with those specs. Even if it comes in at $450 or so in the end that's around the Xperia P range so not out of sorts. We'll see if they release the goodies for the devs to tinker with.

Has this gone on sale in China? Maybe one of the Chinese users could clear our queries with regards to this phone. I'm chiefly concerned about the following things:
1. English support (should mostly have)
2. AOSP support (almost certainly might have)
3. Build quality and spares!!
Damn it I live in India and we are China's neighbours. Start selling you phones here guys!

amazing what they can produce here :cyclops:

don't expect aosp support as they will probably never release the kernel source. the first one was okay... many of my friends have them but.although they get updates every week they still seem to be only about 75 stable.. the new one has me interested from a cheap hardware angle but I like beingable to choose my own Rom

@joshofbass
what do you mean by "they still seem to be only about 75 stable"?
reboots? freeze? I need a dual sim so that i don't have to lug around 3 phones

NFC??
Does anyone know if the MI-2 supports NFC technology?
I have seen many websites which write the specs and other useful information,but none is mentioning whether or not it has a nfc chip.

NFC is not listed in the specs on the official homepage. Neither is microsd support, btw ...

the best phone!

Like all Motorola phones it is very heavy. It weighs about 180g whereas it's elder brother stands at 130g. And it is not a 64-bit device as rumored but can be called a good deal (given it is a NEXUS device) if it is kept under 40k price tag IMHO. Let's hope there is at least a new kernel like 3.14 for it.

if it is 64bit and above 40k i can think about it , if no then i will wait for snapdragon 810

Hell yeah
High end specs big battery
Big display (probably because they want to raise moto x sales) and memory 3 gb (more than enough for anything)
Lets hope it launch in india soon before
January at a decent price near 35 would be nice

I'll be happily surprised if that's the price tag. It costs $649 in US, that equals ~40k INR.
For perspective, price of Nexus 5 in the US is $349 (21.5k INR) while price in India is 29k (starting). Note 4 is $749 off contract in US while 58.3k in India. I'd expect something over 45k. I will grab it ASAP if it's 43k, even though I don't plan to (yet).

45k I bet on...?looks like a killer device. But design it's all moto that we have seen before. This time planning to wait for a while before I jump into this ship...
