Looked like he was having a few problems with the tf3d. Hope the interface is going to be smooth and responsive and not like the touch diamond!! The confirmed date for UK is the 9th Nov but this can apparantly move either way.

I think it´s that he let of his finger of the screen like someone said or that he got a old pre-release version. In the other video, it works great as said earlier!

But, look at 3:13 at video and you will see this is not a final product.. Maybe hardware is final but rom is not...
In addition to, Unfortunately, there is not a case or screen protector in the box

You are welcome, also no software or user manual plus the box looks very generic for the HTC box for this kind of Hardcore device.
I totally agree with you,any way is the only unboxing till the moment.

That is not the final packaging, for sure. But, as said by wonsanim, it's the only one unboxing video.
Final packaging could have more accessories and a more pretty box.

I actually don't care much about the lookings of the box. It will just stand in shelf for at least 2 years =)
I just hope it doesn't feel cheap, as this is a high-end device. Right now it does, looks like BigMac box quality -_-
And what's with those really cheap looking earphones? Though it's not a multimedia device (and most people probaly use their own earphones), such a device deserves better ones.

Where have you seen cheap looking earphones?
Here are those, in photo:
http://www.solopalmari.com/news/windows-mobile/7556-htc-hd2-e-gli-auricolari

Yep, I was talking about those =) Didn't see them in a picture, just shortly in the unboxing video. Maybe "cheap" was the wrong term, but those do not look like they are good headphones. Especially when they are delivered with those "foam hats" (or whatever they're called), seen in Video at about 2:03. That's usually an indication for "standard" (or "not so good") headphones.
At least that's what I think. Maybe (and hopefully) I'm wrong =)

Galaxy S discontinues in India

[WARNING] Galaxy S being phased out?
Hi,
I came across this article.
- http://www.cellpassion.com/2010/12/28/samsung-discontinues-galaxy-s/
Can somebody confirm this?
PS : Most of the major cities in India are out of stock & the retailers are telling No stock is coming from Samsung.

Galaxy S has been discontinued in INDIA, and this fact, i have been looking for one from past 2 weeks for my dev work, though i have allreday 2 phones with me...
here is one of the source... not sure its true or just a fake news... but no stock in BANGALORE

This is probably true. I went to a Croma today (at Mumbai), they were out of stock and they would not comment on when and if new stocks would arrive. They didn't actually say that it's been discontinued, however even the display piece has been removed.

I enquired at our local TheMobileStore & they said that production had stopped & no further stock was expected.

Why would it be phased out to make way for the Nexus S. I thought the nexus was Manufactured by Samsung for Google so they don't actually sell it it's google phone to sell. It could just be though that in India the market appears to be moving over to purchasing the Nexus so its pointless selling the Galaxy there?

i bought mine on dec 15th 2010 . Guess i am one of the last set of lucky owners
Bought in HYDERABAD
But ya in many stores it was not there finally found it in PCH mobiles

thank goodness! I bought a bit earlier (july).. else i wouldn't have come to know about the gorgeousness of super amoled and computing power of hummingbird + powervr

It will be 'obsolete' in 3-6 months once the dual-core phones hit the market. Hehe. I think LG is planning a launch anytime now, Samsung et al will certainly follow.

only 4 points multitouch? have you try it with the multitouch visible test?

Errr, how tall are you irl, OP ? Mainly asking to get a visual of your average hand size in my head, cause the phone looks huge in those pictures.

That is the size of X10 a little longer. Photos are closeups and that is why they look like that.

Yep, tried multitouch visible test and I get four points. A fifth finger makes no impression... The four that are there are rock solid, though. Can't say as I see a clear need for all five fingers at the same time, but maybe I'm missing something?

I was lucky enough to be invited to the Press Release seminar two days ago in Hong Kong, with actual Engineering sample units to be played with.
Damn this thing is really light. I've also heard that DoCoMo in Japan has released the red colored version exclusively, aside from the silver and dark blue edition that is released as originally announced. The exclusive unit also has double the size of ROM for storage as well!
How I wish I can bring that home right away... haha!
BTW it comes with an HDMI cable if you purchase from online SE or directly from the Sony Store with the arc, but if you purchase Neo, it will not be bundled with.

Yeah, the "other" colour for Japan is pink The 1gb ROM is a mistake on Docomo's part, and for some reason they chose to not give us the HDMI cable over here (the shop staff I asked didn't even know the Arc had HDMI out )

Got my Xperia Z today (Cos I'm in Japan) :P

So I'm more of a lurker than a poster but since I got this new phone I'd like to share
If you have any questions just ask (^^)b
Coming from a Samsung Galaxy S2 so far I love the screen (can never understand why people want a 150 degree viewing angle!) and the look and feel of the device is so much better )))

Some video would be nice, playing 1080p videos and games and some screen transitions with widgets etc.

I'd really want you to make some battery life tests, and as many UI screenshots as possible - that would ba great
Also, i officialy hate you for being in Japan while i'm not ( really really want to visit Japan! )

I'll see what I can do about taking a video of it playing a video lol
I only got it today so I haven't even fully charged it yet. I'll give it a full run out tomorrow and see how long it lasts.
Things of note so far, the screen is much more accurate than the galaxy s2. While typing at full speed I hardly make any mistakes but I made quite a lot more with
the s2. Also it seems to collect a lot of fingerprints so I would recommend getting a screen and back cover
You definitely have to come to Japan sometime, it's awesome!

yeah the phone is available in sony stores and I assume they are unlocked but I haven't asked them.
I bought it with docomo because it's cheaper
what apps?

Bro,
Nice of you to share your joy here. I'll be waiting till it comes out here on 1 March.
However, I'd like you to try a short test. How long does it take for the phone to wake up from deep sleep?
The reason I ask is Galaxy S2 and S3 takes a while to wake up as seen from my video:

You might be familiar with this behavior has you own an S2.
Thank you in advance!

You're also getting a rebate on service (which effectively ties you to Docomo since the rebate expires immediately if you exit early on top of your ETF and remaining handset obligation - in fact the Japanese word for phone contracts has the same root as the word used for bondage).

Congrats man..Lucky you! Waiting for a hands on video..Maybe in a dark room [lights turned off].

Can you compare 3g signal strenght in dbm asu put sony z and your gs2 on table with same carrier
