Dont get too excited guys, its not available until November. First shipments around 11th November.
Sexy Unfortunately i wont be getting a new phone till April (FREE upgrade!)
Bah still a year to go on my contract. Ah well it's been more or less precisely one year between the HD and HD2/Leo so hopefuly as soon as my contract is up next year HD3 will be out
In addition, all I can find in regards to operators is that O2 will be stocking it?
Any news from Orange/Vodafone?

There's a code for the HD2 on Carphone Warehouse's computer systems, along with an entry on the 'Coming Soon' page of their mobiles.co.uk subsidiary site.
So even if Orange and/or Vodafone don't carry the handset directly, it may well be available through a third-party retailer.
HTC Unveils First Windows® Phone with HTC Sense, the HTC HD2
Quoted from the official release in Taiwan by Peter Chou - CEO HTC Corporation
"At HTC we believe that the best things in life should be experienced, not explained. HTC Sense is based on this principle by making the phone more simple and natural to use and by enabling people to personalise their mobile experience in their own unique way," said Peter Chou, CEO of HTC Corporation. "With HTC Sense, the HTC HD2 melds the power and flexibility of the Windows platform with the most advanced phone we’ve ever created."

I'll be going with the HD2 for £18.99 through MobilePhonesDirect.co.uk.
T-Mobile Combi 35 + Web'n'Walk: 800 minutes, unlimited texts & unlimited data for £39.15 per month. Sounds good to me!
Went with MobilePhonesDirect to get my HD on Vodafone last December and was mightily impressed with their customer service (especially after been led along the garden path by Mobile.co.uk!) Since having an unbranded version of an HTC phone (previous phones had been 'pimped' by O2 and T-Mobile) I'd never go back to one through a regular carrier.
i pre ordered mine sim free on mobile fun for £499.99 inc vat Plus £5.95 for delivery. what a bargain cant wait
here is the link

Now I feel angry that I bought the Diamond 2 instead of waiting for HD2..... Oh well, hopefully they'll release a new device just when I need one.
^^OMG... This time it looks like they're shipping the device with drivers.
Awesome PPC! Will be ordering one unlocked from across the pond
I ordered a Aria (refurb.) for a penny, now the wait. Fedex says the 29th.

Welcome to the club guys! What phones are you coming from?
I have a Fuze, I would like to move to Windows Phone 7 but I want to wait till it is developed further. Looks like a decent phone and can't beat the price. lol
I ordered a pair on the 23rd and received them on the 24th. Coming from Windows Mobile 6.5 and Palm Pre, the switch is very welcome. Lots of reviews call it a budget Android phone. That may be true, but this budget phone is much more functional than others I've used over the years. I'll bet you'll like it.
For the price it should hold me over till ATT comes out with something I really WANT. I need a new toy. Android seems like there is a lot to learn, which I welcome so should be fun.
Got my Aria

I got my Aria from Wirefly.com online for FREE!!!
I found a few threads about wireless tethering but nothing about wired tethering. Is the Aria able to tether over usb out of the box from ATT or does something need to be done?

No, the AT&T Aria does not support wired tethering either out of the box. You will need to install a tethering app. There are a few options in the Market, but you will need to put your Aria in 'Airplane' mode and then make a WiFi connection and access the Market in that manner to search for tethering apps. If you connect to the Market via the AT&T network, they filter out searches for tethering apps.
Thank you, I had read about the airplane mode trick and "tethering apps" just didn't see anything about wired tethering.
HUH?
Doesnt blocking certain sites now violate the new net neutrality? LMAO
The Aria is a great phone with great potential. Despite being a 'mid grade' phone, it's awesome. Very reliable. GPS is great and Camera is great too. Screw Samsung
I agree the aria is a great phone it destroys my old HTC Touch and crappy windows mobile.

Not sure if it applies in this case, but wireless providers were specifically excluded from a large portion of the new FCC rules.

Does any kind of screen protector come with the phone, my Fuze came with 1. I don't see one listed anywhere.

typically all you get with the new phone is a 2GB SD card, Headphones, user manual. thats it. protector film is pretty cheap to buy anyway
Yeah they are cheap, I can't stand a scratched screen, wanted to know if I needed to get something now.

Just speculating for fun, what do you think the 3rd Nexus will be like? HTC, Samsung...LG? Dual-Core/4.3"/3D? What specs can you envision. The first from HTC was innovative, the current from Samsung brings NFC, what will the 3rd one have? Discuss..

Got a strong feeling it will be a clone of a future phone that we have not seen yet, but it will probably the best of class out of the Tegra 2 Dual Core phones.

Dual-Core for sure.
quad-core is already in existence... theyre coming
LG or Moto or even Sony Ericsson next, I imagine.

True true. It could be the flagship device for Quad-Core and just skip dual cores.
I like Samsung and LG looks promising, I don't think it will be HTC or MOTO since they are both trying to lock everything down right now.
I envision: quad core, 3D, 4.0" screen (I hope), 4G. Hopefully everything else that we have now plus better battery.
A dual core,possibly HTC again,tho there's really no telling, certainly won't run on T-Mobiles network ..(at&t u suck) k sorry back on topic...
I think sprint will get it before anyone else.....I'm thinking Sprint is gonna be Google's new go to guy,especially if and when at&t has its way with T-Mobile .....

it could be like the G2x with multi-bands... Sprint disabled tethering on Nexus S, so I doubt it.
AGAIN. stop over exaggerating the T-Mo/AT&T, it can be disapproved and AT&T will have to pay T-Mobile for the 'breakup fee' which will be HUGE for t-mobile.

Right. And I still think T-mobile will get it first. Google is VERY big on sim unlock phones, because most of the world use GSM technology and not CDMA! Its easier to start with a sim unlock phone first because it can reach more ground that way!
It will either be samsung or LG definitely not motorola since they have been locking bootloaders and nexus phones should be the most hacker friendly android device. It will be dual core or a 3d capable device. G2x, evo 3d, htc pyramid, lg thrill, or galaxy s2 but htc too is getting stricter and google might not want that.

XOOM has a unlocked bootloader. It doesnt even matter what manufacturer its from because Google will ask for it to be bootloader unlock/locked (fastboot oem unlock/lock), I'm sure if Google approached them they would have the honor to do it and just not make it bootloader locked etc. So it doesn't matter what the company's policy is.
If its a Google Experience phone it'd be open. And I wouldn't be so quick to say HTC is locking down phones, or trying to, when we've seen two recent cases.
On topic I hope its a solid dual core (quad! O_O) 4 - 4.5 display SLCD and the obvious goodies inside. And hopefully Sprint as I take this Nexus S and GVoice integration to mean Google and Sprint pairing up.

I thought that too at first, then I was thinking that the G2x is already pretty much vanilla-ish android already, I think a google product would not be diverse enough when compared, and I can't also see a phone rebranded by three different firms. It would be nice though
I think that simms is right, by the time Google decide on a new phone we will be in quad core territory.

Google seems to be showcasing with the Nexus line. "Here's how it should be done."
With the Nexus One Google showed the world how a (non-Apple) smartphone should be. At that time, other smartphones were about as exciting as a 70's Volvo.
The Nexus S showed the US that there is a world beyond carrier lock-in. Unlocked, crapware-free, no contract necessary.
The next Nexus could well be a tablet. "See? Here's how to make a proper tablet!"

Technically that was the XOOM. That was all Moto/Google.
I wonder how the ATT & Tmo merger is going to affect the Nexus line. I'd be interested to hear Google's thoughts on the merger.

I forgot about the Xoom. I was just thinking about their phones.
I would LOVE to see a MOTO Nexus phone. I really love the quality of their hardware. When it comes to durability, signal strength, call quality, and battery life I think they are better than anyone else. I am really liking Samsung too though. Hopefully one of those 2 make the next Nexus.
This should pretty much kill all the rumors about a Verizon 922 or 9XX or a T-Mobile 910.

6 month later it better come out with a quad core or this is DOA. I wouldn't be caught upgrading my phone to something that's 6 months old.
I don't wanna beat a dead horse, but this is going to be disastrous for Nokia....let's see, AT&T has people that bought the L900, the Titan, Titan 2, and Focus 2...throw in the people who bought SG3's...sprinkle in the folks that bought iPhone 5's...now where are all these people who want this phone going to come from? Is Nokia really that stupid to think everyone is going to leave their carrier for this phone, especially when AT&T didn't push a single update for WP7...?

It will help Nokia.
My point was that ATT PAID nokia in order to get the exclusive rights.
No OEM gives exclusiveness out of the goodness of their heart.
And it will probably have nothing to do with the amount of L920 ATT is gonna sell.
That's fine. I just hope Nokia doesn't ***** in 4 months that this, like the L900, wasn't a commercial success.

Part of the problem is Microsoft.
They shouldn't have gone out and said "Windows phone 8 is not available for you guys with 7.5"
And you know why? because most people are dumb. They have no idea what the 7.8 update really is. Basically, the 7.8 update will make the current lumia phones get the maximum out of their hardware. I for one, will probably skip this first line of WP8 handsets and lay quietly with my lumia 800 for a few years. Quad cores will show up by then.

This.
They should have said that ALL winPhone will get an update with limited functions perhaps, just like other companies (*cough Apple *cough)...People would have continued to buy wp devices and others would have bought the first gen of wp8 phones.
But....
This fact really is restraining a lot of ppl from buying wp all in all...fearing they may remain without update after 1/2 years, perhaps?
I, for example, am starting to think to switch to android for this.
hhahahahahahahaha
and you think android is gonna be different? phones out there get released and months later there is no support for them. Only flagships like SG3 or HTC one X will get support for a maximum of 2 years.
Lumia will probably be the longest living line as far as support is concerned.
I feel them on the leaving the platform part, I'm looking at my HD2, which was abandoned by Microsoft, now my HD7 will join that pile....as much as I dislike Samsung, the Ativ is my only shot IF my carrier gets it.

This phone looks great, but i think I'm feeling the HTC 8X line that is coming to AT&T more. The HTC ones just look...sleeker? I don't know, maybe is the shape of the 920.
The problem with android is its so segmented. As soon as you buy the latest and greatest, its already at least one version of android behind. Not to mention that in a month or so afterwards company x releases something better so developers jump ship to that one. And thanks to the overlays and tweaks that are added it takes forever to get otas. And so on and so on.
That's why I've been seriously considering wp8. But now the problem is my handset choice is going to be so limited and im not going to at&t. Coverage sucks in my area and they are more expensive than Verizon. So in other words, booo to Nokia
