Touch HD QWERTY SLIDE-OUT!! PICS!

UPDATE 2/14/09- HAHAHA!! I LAUGH AT THE VERY FIRST COMMENT POSTED!!!! IT SEEMS OUR DREAMS ARE COMING TRUE WITH THE NEW HTC MODELS LEAKED!!!!! So i guess all of our hard work and wishfull thinking has finally paid off. The only thing to really worry about now is whether HTC will hold true to the leaked hype and deliver to ATT a touch Hd variant with a full qwerty in true Iphone killer fashion. I WILL BE CHECKING ALL WEBSITES FOR ANY NEWS ON MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS '09 NEWS AND HTC-RELATED PRODUCTS. If we dont see this screen on the leaked models at MWC 09 then im definitly saving up for the Toshiba TG01!! keyboard or not, a 4.1" screen with full divx support outta the box!!? now thats an end all to smartphones for sure!! keep ya posted on all the new pics if we get any. Plus ill try to create some better quality Photoshop pics of the leaked HTC phones so we may be able to have a better resolution. thanks all for the poll responses!!!
Update!!! Ok so ive been working on the 3D model for this concept. I finished pretty much everything i wanted to do. The look is there. hopefully someone over at HTC is checking these pics out. It took me a total of about 3 days to model out this phone. and it was fun to decide the final look. overall i would say it should be no thicker than the tilt. hopefully with new tech it will be thinner. aside from that i thought it would great if the front buttons were only visible when the screen was on, seeing as how they are not physical buttons. and maybe they could all be configurable to different icons, almost as if they were on a small led screen so you could give them a custom look. the camera is now flush with the back, which is how i think it should always be. maybe physical limitations are to blame for the official design. i hope all you guys like it. I might consider putting together some models of other concept phones in the future. maybe an Iphone with a slide out QWERTY k/b!! hehe. just kidding. who knows. hope you all like them.

For me it is a fake PS and this model will never happens.

I do not think that they are will release a qwerty model as it is directly competing against the iphone and they do not want it to be thick.

I'm hoping you're wish will become true...
But we always want more... : http://www.mobilecowboys.nl/mobilerumours/8263

they are fake, I made them!! just wishing they will come true. someone needs to make thinner keyboard hardware and thinner slide-out hardware. my tilt still feels like a brick. and the touch pro? that is a joke. too thick for me. thats why i made these. my Dreams!

Thats clearly Photoshopped
I think a HD, with Qwerty will just become to bulky to be really really attractive..

And after they got the keyboard attached they will add a fingerprint scanner, tv-tuner, wimax, surround sound speakers and hdmi.
I think this is already one of the best phones HTC ever built if it is as good as it looks. The only true iPhone-killer so far I think. Of course they can build a phone that suits everyone's needs but first of all they need to beat the competitiors before experimenting. I will probably buy it next year.
By the way, on the second picture in the lower part of the picture the keyboard is wider than the phone, so when you close it the keyboard will stick out on the other side.

Great tazbo28!!!
As a happy Universal user I always have been looking for a REAL succesor of the best PDA ever made!: Universal
And this work you done it´s exactly what I call the PERFECT uni succesor!!
I don´t know if this will become real or not but I´m having hope!!!!
Congrats!!!

That's the phone I'm waiting for. Why would the iphone have anything to do with holding back production of this type of phone. They could have the best of both worlds with the Touch HD (iphone killer for those people wanting it to be dead so bad) and the Touch HD Pro (for those people who really don't want to give up the use of a physical keyboard). That's how you could kill more than just the iphone. I'll be waiting.......hopefully this will be born someday.

It would probably sell but....
anyhow, your lighting is all wrong which is why it looks very fake.

It'd be good to see the Touch HD have a QWERTY keyboard.

You tried but u didn't photoshopped it well
I just hope this could happen in reality...it would be an all round iphone killer + a wonderful piece of device.
Oh Jesus! my post got hijacked and now, the whole world wide web is filled with your mock up picture of HTC Touch HD Pro and rumours that the PPC might be coming... damn,this is what the WWW could do

I saw this on at least one other website and I don't recall them recognizing it was faked by way of wishful thinking.... doesn't take much to "start" a rumor does it.

i had a wizard and a trinity. My conclusion: the keyboard is not used all the times, and anyway too small for real typing. I bought a bluetooth keyboard but never used it....

The best PDA Fake I ever saw was done with a HP 4200 I think. They detached the touch screen from that tablet PC and hooked it up to the Dell X51v's VGA-out and claimed that HTC got a new supersize pocketpc / tablet-whatever thing. Very funny fake since they did it on video which made it look even more realistic.
If they would make a foldable version they could compete with the E90, that's a very very solid pda in that part of the business world: weight doesn't matter, just quality, size and funtionality.

It is true..why cant HTC make a ppc with keyboard just like the E90 - i mean the one that closes and not slide :-?

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?

it clearly states "processor remains unknown" so where you guys are getting infos about processor speed?

pff ... im so NOT going to buy it. my next phone will be an android for sure.
BUT ... i realy like to get my hands on the ROM. the new panelmanager seems nice and this new panel also some ... style

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?

[COMP] SE X10 vs other android phones

X10 is going to release very soon but it has already a lot of rivals: Google N1, HTC Desire, Motorola Shores (also going to be released soon)
So which Android phone is a true Phone?

The Droid.

I think the desire stands out thanks to HTC's sense interface.

X10 got Mediascape which easily beats everything else out there be it on Android or WinMo or iPhone OS or WebOS + got Timescape which is pretty much a match or better than WebOS great communication UI or better than the rest (Droid/Motoblur or iPhone's missing "unified communication")... the only negativ thing is running on DOnut (v1.6) but SE already said it will be updated - my money is on X10 and a 2.1 update by the Summer...

The Final retail-rom (not the one engadget reviewed) seems to be great! Some reviewers in the Netherlands already have them and they are very impressed by the speed, the screen and media/timescape!

Yes, I heard the same thing from a friend running it since last Fall... heck, when I tried X10 back in November it wasn't that bad already... and it's been 4+ months now, I'm sure they worked out all the kinks - as a matter of fact that was the official reason for postponing the launch date, to make it absolutely bug-free.
SE is top-notch when it comes to UI design, I always said it - it's just they have been always stretched too thin and never had the time to properly finish everything. It's a (resource) management issue and I think it is the same type confusion that caused the demise of Sony during the past decade.
SE should settle on ~2 platforms (plus their proprietary one for the integrated and lower-tier phones) and cut the number of concurrent models in half but every new release should be near flawless, as bug-free as literally possible because when you are asking $500-$1k for a phone it's better be perfect or you will lose its angry owner as a customer forever...

EW! how can you even say that's something worth holding in your hand. craptacular device. by craptacular company..

Well, I am using HTC Legend, and today I got SE X10, so what can I say, X10 has impressive screen but I am worry because it is TFT (and Legend has AMOLED), also Android 1.6 is not a match to an Android 2.1 in Legend (with and without HTC Sense).
Timescape and Mediascape are good and easy ideas, and they are beating HTC Sense in way of multimedia and friends stream (HTC Sense has Friends stream which dosent work so fine).
So, X10 is a preatty good smartphone, here in Croatia it will cost about 4500 kunas about 840 USD.
So, until they release Android 2.1 update on Xperia X10, it will be just a good smartphone with big potential, so SE if you are reading this, go to work!

There's nothing wrong with a TFT screen.

@szlevi
Good luck with getting an upgrade to the OS by the Summer as SE themselves have said it won't be till Q3 oh and by the time SE implement 2.1 what version will the others be at by then?.
I must say from reading your posts throughout the X10 section you seem quite the SE zealot but seriously anyone that bought a W950 and then also bought a W960 lacks a certain credibility IMO.
As for your claims about Timescape and Mediascape just being the best how's the Crystal ball doing as from what I've read they both suffer when updating. They may look pretty and functional when not very full but once they have lots of data to deal with they slow right down. Maybe you should have a device in hand to see just how well it performs when full of data before claiming it to be best.
Personally SE lost me from UIQ3 and nothing they have done since then has tempted me back till now either. It will be interesting to see if they do manage to actually launch a relatively bug free device for once. As although this is there aim they seem to keep falling short of this objective, it will interesting to see just how well the X10 does and what ordinary non SE fans make of it.

Looks amazing! Cant wait to get it!

whats up with having both the legend and the X10`? doesn't that get kinda expensive.
Anyways, I did like the HTC magic, untill it got thrown into the wall in anger, because I was pisst off at a friend
And I have always loved SE, unlike Nokia(that I used to like before) are they actually trying different OS's etc.
+ I feel like they have better designs etc.

not very expensive at all when you WIN both the phones. read prior posts

I know that, I read it in another thread a while after I posted this. So the "prior posts" thing, is kinda wrong to say.. since it wasn't mentioned in this thread.
And it wasn't posted in this thread, so I don't really see the big problem here.

I'm having my doubts, I'm actually thinking between the Nexus One and the X10, I'm currently liking the Droid due to the keyboard only because I email alot, and would not like to go for a blackberry.
The x10 seems fantastic, just that the absence of a physical qwerty may put me off.

Indeed. Once you go physical QWERTY, you never go back !

This might sound stupid, but only reason I'd get X10 than other phones (like Galaxy S, Milestone, Desire etc.) is cos the X10 looks much better, and my 'blind loyalty' to SE. But in terms of specs/features... well... X10 is really lacking.

+1 Same sentiment. LOL.

similar curve with overall ugly looking lol
i still think x10 is the best looking smart phone nowday maybe ever
shame for SE make this good thing become ****

You guys do realize that this phone has MULTI TOUCH, SUPER AMOLED, 16GB ROM, 512MB RAM and OH YEAH DIVX PLAYER.
I dont see how this is copy of x10?? I mean if having big screen only makes all smart phones copy of iphone, then yeah it is a copy. But you know what I would trade this for my x10. I would even add $200 extra if needed lol
Guys this is a better phone don't be a jelaous baby, be COOL

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that phone at all.
Looks pretty sweet, and I'm sure it's users are happy with it. No need to get jealous/hate on something someone else likes.

we are not jealous just compared the looks of it side by side and you'll see. are you blind or something?
They better make their "OWN" design on phone.

were not jealous!!!!

I can't wait to use it for on the go drawing.

You think thats a bad copy?

Oh, by the way. Sony is coming out with a single touch zoom that will beat multitouch and the X10 now has a Divx player, although it's not released yet. I'm playing high quality AVI's on my X10 at 24 fps, so nyah

Yeah you guys are totally right. X10 is an awesome phone, and none of you will ever trade it for Galaxy S, even if they offer $1000.00 with it.
Anyone else wants to quote me an explain why x10 is so awesome??

You are talking rubbish, FIRST OF ALL, we didnt said galaxy is some kind of cheap worse copy of x10, what we are saying, is that DESIGN is copied, not the specs, not something else, DESIGN. Do you understand now ?

DESIGN OK
From the above picture we can see the main differences between x10 and Samsung i897 Captivate;
1) Captivate has straight body whereas x10 has curved body.
2) x10 has a curved metallic feature, captivate has none.
3) x10 has 3 physical button on the buttom, whereas captivate has touch sensetive button. And Captivate has 4 buttons.
4) The top part of x10 has semicircle whereas in captivate its like a slot.
5) The body of captivate has fillet (curved edges), x10 has edged faces (except for the top).
6) The top of cativate is circular but its flat for x10.
7) In x10 there is the volume buttons and the camera button on the side. In captivate, its only the volume button.
From the above picture we can see the main differences between x10 and Samsung i897 Captivate;
1) The back is made of one piece for x10, Captivate has a battery cover of different color (and probably material).
2) The camera is situated along the center line of x10. The camera of Captivate is in the top left corner.
3) The speaker output is at the back for captivate whereas for x10 it is on the side.
JUST BECAUSE the phone has no dpad or trackball, and has 4'' screen, does not make it a copy. Yes x10 has better looks, I know that and that is why I bought it over n1. But that has nothing to do with Captivate being a copy of x10.
Now after all this explanation if you still see them having same DESIGN, then I have to say that you need either a eye test or brain test. Its never too late you know

The guy above me does not understand what we meant.
ITS NOT LIKE SAMSUNG MAKE A CLONE OF X10.
Would you differentiate all their old models at that captivate
As you can see. the base part of capitivate is the same as X10. The format of Captivate looks like X10. Of course they will not do the same thing as X10 as they will get issues and will call it a china phone.
Look at Galaxy S the BASE PART OF that phones comes from Iphone.
Now compare their old phones like Omnia 2. The phone used to be rounded edge
Compared them and Check the difference between the phone they copy and the SAMSUNG PHONE DESIGN THAT IS USED TO BE

I'm going to go out on a HUGE limb here and say that it's probably a little difficult to really make a touchscreen phone look significantly different from the competition.
There's only so many ways you can configure a 4 inch screen with some buttons.

EXACTLY! Couldn\t have said it better myself!
Also, normal people tend to like their newly-acquired phones a lot, so they will defend them. And that applies to SE owners, Samsung owners, Nokia, HTC, Apple, etc.
So, comparison threads can end up full of aggression and not so useful posts.

[POLL] What Made You to Buy / Pre Order / Like Xperia Z?

Just like the title- what made you to like XZ and buy or pre order the phone?
For me, I just liked everything of Xperia Z. but waiting for price drop!
Please tick your reason in above poll. You can select multiple choices!

I desperately need an upgrade as my arc s is to slow for my usage, my contract was expired in august but didn't like any phone at the moment enough to upgrade. I was tempted by the one x+ but I like the looks better of the xperia z and it is more up to date. I think any 2012-2013 high end phone would be good enough for me so I have the luxury of just taking the one I like. When the One was presented I was thinking of switching but that phone just isn't for me.
love your city and country btw

Design & Build quality

I like Shiny things

Best looking handset i have ever seen simple.

i bought the xperia z, because i had a pretty good experience with the xperia arc s. I also like sony's ui, i think it's much better than touch wiz.

i love design, build quality, performance, sony ui ...amazing phone!!!!

Well everything, but the Design & build quality gave it the edge over the competition.

Fancied a change from Samsung and HTC, the more I see the XZ it makes me think how beautiful it is!
Really Sony have put out all the stops this year, I think it's the best looking Android phone and I want a premium handset that not only looks the part, takes decent pictures/videos too!

Design. I like subtle design with tiny elegant details; like a black Mercedes. HTC One is on the other end of the scale. It's a white Toyota Prius with a boomblaster on its roof.
