I know the specs for the HTC Kingdom arent as good as the Evo 3d, particularly processor speed, but aesthetically, I'm not really sold on the Evo 3d. The two cameras on the back bother me a bit. In the meantime, my Evo 4g is still running strong so Im not hard pressed for a phone. Im going to wait for the Kingdom to release, or at least detailed images, before I make a decision. Anyone else interested in the Kingdom?

The reviews I have read so far on 3D are sketchy. I hear battery life is bad (no surprise there), 3D is cool, but hard to view, and Sense 3.0 is nothing more than more makeup. No extra functionality. And apparently the screen gets washed out in moderate to bright light.
Pluses include really fast speed, and Sprint didn't weigh it down with a ton of bloatware.
This is just from the few reviews I read.

Depending on what review you read they are all over the place. But in general most of them give kudos on battery, speed (better than the sensation cause of the extra RAM), solid camera and again SUPER FAST!!! Even call quality has been listed as good in most.
Nothing else I need to hear. 3D all day long.
...And you are asking this question in the Evo 4g forum, why?...

HTC's hipsteriffic invitations for a June 24th event in London contained precious few clues (DUDE'S WEARING A ROSE), but the Economic Daily News is now reporting something totally reasonable: it's for the Hero and Lancaster, HTC's presumed next Android phones.
Curiously, the paper refers to the two phones as one device, in two versions differentiated only by a keyboard.
The HTC Hero will be available in two versions, with and without a QWERTY keyboard. The model with a keyboard will be named HTC Memphis, or HTC Lancaster for sale by AT&T exclusively in the US for six months starting the third quarter, the paper indicated.
It certainly looks like there'll be a bit more than that to set the devices apart, and for the sake of variety, I hope there is. In any case, we'll be there. [Economic Daily News via Digitimes]

Looks like we won't be getting the Hero, or we have to wait until after the 6 months AT&T has it exclusively?
that phone is UGLY!! the mytouch 3g or what ever their calling it . looks way better
The version without the keyboard will probably be Hero, since the Lancaster is the one for AT&T.

http://ow.ly/b3EG
Anyone noticed that at least the Lancaster version has only a 240x320 display?
If this is also true for the HTC Hero version, it would be a clear disadvantage.

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

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.
Google Nexus S: Unboxing and Hands-On
Slide Show of the Unboxing
The reviews are basically going to say what's been echoed throughout the boards: The pros, more or less, being that the device will be fast and will run the latest/cleanest Android build directly from Google. The cons, more or less, will be about everything everyone's complaining about (lack of HSPA+, expandable slot, and some other downgrades).

There's another software overview here of 2.3 from IntoMobile.
I can't help but notice the major scrolling lag at 2:58 onwards when he enables the Maps live wallpaper. Really disappointing to see the performance issues still not resolved. I guess we keep on waiting for proper GPU acceleration to fix that?

All the reviews are essentially saying the same thing. The pros being more or less the Google experience, untouched and unaltered; super fast; and direct Google updates. The cons being what every one has/is complaining about: lack of HSPA+ support, not a huge improvement giving the context of near-future devices, NFC has potential but nothing major for the moment, lack of expandable SD slot, lack of HD recording, etc.
There are no more surprises. People are getting this phone primarily for Gingerbread and future direct/clean updates, but not much else.

You may notice the curve on the NS.
MT4 looks thinner.
I got a good screen on MT4, and it doesn't have color fading or washout problem.
For fair comparison, I use same wallpaper. NS is surely a winner on this part
NS is clearly a winner on this.
Somehow I got red tint on the picture, but it actually didn't show such tint.
the MT's browser is much smoother than the N1

Do you mean the NS...?
I think both are barely the same when opening up xda.
I will upload a video to youtube to show the loading time.
Conditions:
both run on Skyfire and reloaded a few times on both.
both run on 3G and assumed both have similar reception.

I had a rooted iphone running on t-mobile for a while, so today I went and opened a att account to try the iphone 4 for a few days. I did this because I was so disapointed in the browsing experience on the nexus s. The iphone will be going back but I am really pondering getting the mt4g which I owned for a few days before returning it because of bluetooth issues and the inability to send my contacts list to my car nav. I love the ns screen and styling but think I may go back to the mt4g since I will end up running a custom rom on whatever i choose.
Gosh that curved screen looks so sexy next to a normal flat phone.
