any ideas about these? Ive seen the euro prices, can we expect the same? and has any body found and expected release date yet? dells keeping things locked up tight, that's for sure.
I have been watching every blog it seems for awhile and nada bit of info. I gave up and pre-ordered a HTC HD7 yesterday. I think they are waiting to release the WP7 and Android simultaneously or something. May pick one up down the road if reviews are great but my early adopting zeal has left for that one. I will keep checking and post if i find something though
i was in the same spot as you but the smaller AMOLED screen and hardware keyboard seemed the better option, i guess its a waiting game....
I wish it was released same day the hd7 was...then I could buy it outright hopefully its not to expensive...seeing its a dell it may be =/
any info on final retail price in US?

Basically it's toughened glass.
is it really scratch resistant ? HD2 original had youtube video show knife and pen hit on it, it doesnt hurt. but people still worry about the screen get dent.
grilla glass is really scratch resistant ? what if you drop it or something hit on it?

I've been saying this for a long time, but i had 3 devices, Samsung P3 PMP, Zune HD, and hTC HD2. They all had scratches if you look closely. And i realized that these glasses are scratch free for the most part. And most videos on youtube uses white light to see the scratches but you need yellow light to see it. But i will definatley test the durability when i buy Venue Pro!
I dont know if i should get the HD7 on monday or wait and see when the venue pro comes out, which might be another month.
Dell Venue Pro to be available on the 8th through Microsoft Store and on the 15th through Dell. Apparently it will not be available through T-mobile directly. Still no pricing.

Has anyone ran into anyplace where you can purchase the HTC Raph back shell cover?
I heard it isn't as glossy/fingerprint magnet as the Euro version.. more rubberized.

Still, $33 is a lot of money for rubberized plastic, especially if I'm not even 100% certain it'll fit. And I want to see an accurate picture before I plunk money down.

(Interesting...This is my first post and I've been a member since April 2006....I'm always in here reading and I just never thought to ask anything before...weird because I post all the time over at HoFo).
if someone has a dremel tool, maybe u can fine sand it, and leave the triangle that says HTC and around the camera/flash untouched, make a rectangle shape around the autofocus text, then take it to the mall to one of those dog tag kiosk that can itch your name or logo on the back like laser itch, i think that will look cool...
while ur at it itch ur e-mail/contact info on the inside of the cover in case it gets lost!!

Found This case on ebay, think i can just use the back part on my fuse?
I saw the one on ebay too, but how come there is a big triangular hole where the camera is? How are you supposed to cover that or is it just left open?
I believe they want you to transfer it from your existing hardware... But, with my luck I would screw it up and not have a battery cover at all.

that sounds about right
SNS replacement screens are harder to come by than the SGS replacements
technically they should be the same
you can always try a SGS SAMOLED replacement screen on the SNS
Damn dude! If that happened to me I would be sick to my stomach and maybe shed a tear or two. For Christ's sake, be more careful!
I'm sorry, I'm weird. It upsets me when I see some people's expensive phones all beat to hell.
i was not there when he dropped it, but his bro said that he leaned right over trying to catch it, and was stood on 1 leg i was like omfg what if he had fell over, he had been drinking i think as well, if he had fell over he would not have survived.
he should have waited. i see otterbox are releasing the ns defender case soon! it'd have bounced right back up to him!

you can get a new one at the cost of 89USD（excluding the freight） ....
i am not to sure on getting a screen off a chinese website don't they make fake stuff all the time ?, i am in the uk have you ordered off them b4 ?
ok so i used google chrome to translate £54 for screen, but i am not sure how much it will cost in shipping
it can hardly be fake....they have no such technology....if they have such techology...they do not need to produce a fake samsung screen，they would make a product with their our brand.
shipping costs about £20 if is not taxed........
i post that in order to tell you how much the screen really costs and it can be bought from the market...you can search it on a b2c website in your own country...
wish you good luck...

If that is glass I might have to rethink this device. Part of what made the One so durable was the fact that it didnt have glass covering the whole front. Call me paranoid but covering the speaker grills with glass is likely going to result in busted glass. I really hope it's just reflection and glass dust but it doesn't appear that way so maybe I need to wait for drop test results.
No. The speaker grills are seperate. Look closely. Those are metal scratch on the grill and not from the glass extension.

As expected also that glass back looks cheap and not premium. But hey the Samsung sheep's will for sure find a way to defend even that lol.
1 year and 2 former flagships turned into absolute crap great job Samsung
What person would want a phone made of glass seems really dumb considering the average person drop there phone alot. They should have fun at samsung replacing phones this year. Most people won't use a case . You would think they would make phones more durable. My phone stay in Mint condition but most people i see don't baby there phones like i do and they look bad scratch city with no case from falls
The average person drops their phone a lot. That's funny... And probably not true.
Almost everyone I know uses no case, and their phone is fine. Why? Because they don't drop it a lot.
Now I do know 3 people under the age of 25 that all have cracked screens... Maybe it is an age thing?
