AT&T PURE build quality

For those of you that hae the PURE or have looked at (touched/played with) the PURE I was wondering what you all think of the build quality.
I walked into a AT&T store and they didn't have any on display so I asked if they had any I could look at to compare to my TD2 and they pulled one out of the box.
The phone looked nice and everything. Same size as my Topaz, a lttile lighter, and plasticky.
Do any of you feel that it feels cheap? Compared to my original Diamond2 it felt wrong.The shape and all was good just the quality and material. In all honesty I was happy the US got a decent phone but I was dissapointed @ HTC for building such a cheap quality device. I guess it would make sense to build it cheaper so it would sell for less due to material cost but man was it a dissapointment.
Thoughts please.

I never held the D2 but my Pure is very solid. Sure it's all plastic but I'm yet to hear it creaking.

Got mine in the mail today, and so far it feels solid. The USB port cover feels a little flimsy, but that's been the case with every phone I've owned, and I haven't had one break off yet. I'm quite happy with it so far.

So anyone knows the PURE equals to? Is it a Topaz?

I own a D2 and i didn't held a Pure yet but Pure looks a bit like Blackstone. Black, oval, plastic. D2 looks very nice BUT of course they're both same devices.

it look just like the t mobile version of TD2 to me

Yes that is the T-mo UK MDA Compact V (TD2) I have US T-Mo with an unlocked D2. The original styling. Compared it doesn't feel the same. Mebe I should have asked Compact V owners the Q since they would more likely have experiance with both versions since it is readily available almost everywhere in EU.

Difference between Aria and Legend?

What are the main differences between these two?
other than:
-different bodies/size
-TFT/AMOLED
They seem to have the same processor, screen size and resolution?
I'm thinking which one I should buy.
Legend does have connectivity problems, esp with WIFI, which I need. also crappy buttons.
Aria seems to be very delicate, easy to shatter front glass. (but can be fixed with a case?)
So which one would be better?

Is the Legend even available for AT&T? I'm thinking not.

There was talk of the Legend coming to ATT several months ago and now Telus is gearing up to announce the the Desire, FWIW.

Bell Mobile has a Legend (A6365) w/ AT&T 3G bands. I almost bought that instead of the Aria but the $400+ price tag made me think twice. I think the connectivity problems plague the Legend are due to its metal housing.

Well in software of Aria you see it also shows Liberty,, & then with cover off back you see Intruder ... So which phone is this that we all have?

The aria is also an htc liberty and htc intruder. Some phone just different names

I'm not in the US, and do not have to go with any carriers.
I'm free to choose between either one, and my own network would work on it.
So basically the choice is only based on which phone is better to pick up

I own the Aria , but if a I had the xtra money , and if it wasn't so hard to find with HSDPA 850 .. I would have choosen The Legend
Because of:
AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors (this matters)
LED flash ( needed sometimes )
Aluminum unibody ( looks so good and seems to be more resistant )
Standby > Up to 440 h
More "ROM's" development right now
ps. The Aria's size and weight are PERFECT tough !

If the Evo and the Nexus mated!

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010...=Feed:+TheBoyGeniusReport+(Boy+Genius+Report)
BGR has published a picture of an upcoming HTC device destined for verizon. From the leaked specs it sounds like a real high end device. Anyone have more speculation on this device? Could be the first real device that tempts me away from my nexus. So far all the latest devices have not sold me on build quality, looks, and feel. This thing looks like the nexus taken to the next level!
Of course this is BGR so it is put up next to an iphail.

What the hell is that nasty ass iphone doing next to that beautiful device?
GRRRRR, I hate BGR so much.
Anyway, looks like an Evo for Verizon, nothing more.
All these devices are looking good, but personally I won't be upgrading until the next line of processors come out (1.5 GHz etc). No reason to switch to another phone if it has the same amount of power. That'd be a sidegrade.

that's the same sentiment that i feel, with the unknown time frame of Verizon's android releases, who's to say this thing wont be coming with the latest and greatest processor? In all reality it probably is just the Verizon version of the Evo, it sure looks a lot nicer than its sprint branded potential relative.
In any case, its the first new handset i have seen that actually physically looks on par or better than the nexus.

htc glacier is on my wishlist, what with a possible dual core, hellz yeah

What happened to the HTC Ace or Desire HD, a GSM Evo.
Unless its revolutionary in terms of processor,GPU etc, then im not too hopeful on leaving my N1.
Damn good looking, though. More of a comparison of a Desire and Evo mating IMO.

Wow
im in love,,, i WANT IT, I NEED IT!!!
*****, MONEY, NEXUS S
is gonna be my life style now..

Wow. All I can say. I hope this is good...

Front facing camera, nice
I hope there are some capacitative buttons at the bottom, love those on my N1.

Hmmmm....Back cover seems to be plastic like the Galaxy S. So build quality is **** compared to the N1/Desire. Hope it has a few surprises to make up for that.

hmm, looks cheap vs. N1, too glossy and plastic imo

Nexus One looks better.
Spec wise this is better though.

Finally something we can wait for My next phone for sure

Looks cheap n nasty

too much plastic

100% agree with you...

I'm disappointed by the plastic...Nexus One is staying with me for another year or so it seems...

Specs???????

Most likely Vibrant with Gingerbread and flash?

I will NOT be getting this. I am absolutely disappointed that the next nexus is a effin samsung. I just hope htc will release another true nexus in the future. Until then ill stick with the n1 which looks better than that POS

I'm in the market for a new phone (n1 has a broken screen)... this is tempting for sure. Waiting to hear more about specs and if we are going to see one on AT&T bands..

Am I right in thinking that the Tmobile US bands are the same as a majoritory of the UK bands?

HTC probably said : lol we're not dealing with more unlocked bootloader replacements.

Superamoled + better multitouch isnt enough for me to give up my N1. Solid build and design trump both of those features for me.

New pyramid photos leaked (Desire HD 2 ? )

A couple of new pcitures have been leaked showing the htc pyramid aka the desire hd 2 , looks pretty nice i was pretty much sold until i saw it has 770 mb of ram , i like that the camera no longer sticks out ( less sctraches) and it looks thinner than the desire hd and i also think they dropped the unibody case kinda sad but at least the battery cover will be beasy to remove

indeed qHD screen would nice and also a BIGGER battery!

I hope the qHD screen will get higher refresh rate than 60hz... otherwise frame limiter will be also set to 60fps, and those shiny new dualcore will be really limited...

Uuh how I miss a simple way of opening the back of my DHD, the picture from this one here really give me new hope.
Sent from my Desire HD

The hardware specs are WOW. But the design to me looks a bit feminine like that of samsung. What i mean is....the design is too much of curves on the phone. The top and bottom are also curved and not flat. I like the look of DHD which is VERY masculine hehe

I feel opposite, I much prefer DHD way of keeping minimum area of weak parts of the body making the overall feeling sturdy and cracklingless
Well, DHD by default is not that with it's weak mini covers, but they can be worked out.
