I've never seen this phone before. What could it be???
Looks similar to a TBOLT with camera placement, but smaller, and black. Hmmmm.
Who knows there is a silver dInc2 in the pipeline, maybe a black tbolt ?

Eris 2 with 3.7" edge to edge screen, original size, 4G, dual cores and trackball?
We can wish right?
Maybe the OG Dinc with a thicker case? Idk lol

Not an Incredible, LED's in the wrong place. It does have a resemblance to the Eris though. But with LED's, the original Eris didn't have any.

Oh that would be brilliant. And now that you mention it yea It does look a lot like the original eris.
I will always love the Eris since it was my first. In fact I still have mine.

Nexus Prime? HTC Vigor?
I think it's the HTC Bliss!
http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/12/htc-bliss-stops-by-the-fcc-dressed-in-verizon-red/
And I've submitted this to phone news sites several times, and they are ignoring me lol
Wow, engadget listened! They posted my tip!
Its VERY possible this is the HTC Vigor since its supposed to have a similar design to the ThunderBolt except minus the kickstand. Being black almost proves that since the HTC Bliss is supposed to be women focused and the images that were leaked a while back showed it was going to be a mint-green colored smartphone, similar to the Desire S in Europe, which would make sense since the first DROID Incredible was a redesigned HTC Desire for Verizon
I think you stumbled onto the Vigor which is even better!
I thought the HTC Bliss was geared towards women?
Damn, she's one manly, yet sassy, woman.
The vigor will be awesome to find information on!

well it cant be the htc vigor reason is its way to small the vigor is supposed to have a 4.3 inch screen and it should be pretty thick considering 4g lte and a biiger battery and dual core and 720p display
from the looks of the camera placement on the back its not HTC Bliss take a closer look

yes I know the specs, but the scale here is hard to judge, the camera placement is almost identical
the Bliss is supposed to be green, not black and the leaks for the Vigor which even more details were brought to light yesterday shows its going to looks similar to the ThunderBolt minus the kickstand.
The guy in this picture could have big hands or the scale of the device is just wrong since most mailers like this are photoshopped.
I'm sticking with my theory that its the Vigor because of what I just said until we get more concrete info.
This is the Bliss, in high res render form
It's not HTC Bliss for sure,two reasons:
First:the camera,LED and speaker phone placement aren't right.
Second:I don't know if I'm the only one seeing this,but in the picture there's a MAN holding the phone not a woman.
Now why would a man hold the phone if it's geared toward women only??unless the man is........
I don't think it's Vigor,could be Vigor though.
I think it's another member of the Incredible family (an unannounced member perhaps).
But it all don't matter,we'll know sooner or later,they've got to announce it sometime.
And it's not like anyone is gonna buy it,it looks like it's gonna be a medium specs phone.
So,I say we all focus on something more useful perhaps?
Like the development process maybe?

G1 is starting to show it's age and we've had the superior Hero for awhile and now the DROID is out and even better than Hero. The problem is, they are for other carriers.
Tmobil just cam out with the Motorola CLIQ but it doesn't seem to be even as good as the Hero and definitely not as good as the DROID.
Are there any rumors of a worthwhile upgrade coming to Tmobile?
Sony Xperia X10 hopefully.
The Samsung Behold II is coming to T-Mobile, I don't know much about the phone, but that's something you can look into and decide for yourself.

Excuse me but the hero is actually superior to them all I thought I should correct your error mate.the only reason its slow is because HTC is using slow hardware that can't keep up with such elegance and beauty.the droid uses 1.6 while heroes use 1.5 so comparison isn't fair...

leaked images of tmobiles phone "map" showed motorola sholes and the sholes tablet...
motorola sholes ofcoarse is the droid but gsm, and i am guessing the sholes table is the same as the moto droid,but full touchscreen w/ no keyboard..(no date annouced or leaked)
mytouch le (fender phone) definitely worth it compared to the behold 2... uses the 32a board = 288mb ram, 16gb sd card, and a 3.5mm jack. basically having a hero without sense ui stock...and i am sure the phone can be rooted the same way as the regular mytouch3g...maybe.(date: jan 2010)
i think that HTC should ask us here at XDA what we want, because being power users, i think we will have a better understanding of what we would like to see in a phone and at a decent price
thankfully my work let me exchange my storm for the droid and this phone could have been perfect but instead they decided to give it a **** keyboard. the G1's keyboard feels huge in comparison. luckily the screen is so big that using the OS-keyboard is easier and much preferred. This droid not only looks nice but it makes my G1 feel super slow. I always knew that the g1's screen wasnt as nice as the iphones but it was still a good looking screen compared to most other phones. Well just wait until you see android running on the droids screen and put the g1 beside it. It totally put the g1's screen to shame in not only size but resolution. this thing is so hi-res its sick. All i know is tmobile needs to get something equally as good as the droid by the time my contract is up next october. Oh to answer the OP's question, for the time being the droid is the "next phone". i dont think any of HTC's current phones can touch it.
Can you own an HTC Phone again after purchasing this beast, its got everything))

I don't know either.
I love my NS, in just about every way shape and form but the feel of how solid my N1 was, cant beat it
an BTW any way you can kinda shorten up your sig, maybe make it longer width wise
Cant even compare with N1. if N1 had 4'' SAMOLED, I would even look at NS. Ton of thought was put into N1, and yet ZERO though in NS (just plain Galaxy-like phone).
I like it's design and build a lot better than any HTC phone, I'll give it that.
That being said, I'll be getting a Droid Incredible HD when it comes out on Verizon to replace my OG Droid. The Incredible HD is probably the only HTC phone with a design/build that isn't just 'Meh' (or 'Ew') to me.

lots of confirmed info.. on evo 3d... insider !!!
Well it's hard to believe that it's almost another year but here we are. Seems like yesterday I was working the wee hours of the night to put the fit and finishing touches on the wimax radio/making sure qik would play nice with wimax. Then the gold copying of 4G enabled hotspot during the eleventh hour before sending off to Sprint (Good Times). I felt it was time to chime in again and answer some of the pressing questions about EVO 3d. I would like to first congratulate everyone that has been so critical to EVO’s success in providing information/tips/tricks etc on the Android Forums EVO 4G threads. I know my company has been reading that thread like a religious book since EVO was referred to a Supersonic. Everything that was EVO and is EVO today is being put into what you the fans want in your EVO of tomorrow. Your knowledge and your talent inspired us to create the best EVO (We hope) ever.
Since I am a fan of the site, I want to share with you information that hasn't been released yet and information that I've been given the green light to release to the thread.
Start off by saying it is a "HTC EVO 3D and 4G" and not "LG" Yes gingerbread and something has not been mentioned Sense UI 2.0 Finally when your EVO is propped up on It's kickstand it will automatically go into landscape on all window screens.
The one thing that you guys talked about was full hdmi out. I admit we got robbed on that one. The price you pay for being first. I didn’t have anything to do with that one, but I would admit to be a bit impressed a phone was able to play a movie on a HDTV a year ago. “Orrebmas” your efforts did ping our radar. I am sure you will find nothing but fortunes on the android market with that fine software. Full HDMI will no longer be an issue. We ran it, tested it, on HDTV’s and 3DHDTV’s. Games, google, pictures, 3DPOV, and yes 3d movies all look awesome right out of the box.
Answer one of the more recent questions yes the new EVO will have a kickstand. I guess that was answered up above, but the new kickstand will be beefier and contoured to the back side of the case. The curved kickstand will allow the EVO to stand better at attention if you will. HTC logo will be on the back like the original EVO, but EVO 3D will be lithographed on the kickstand metal as well. Smart move cause with your protective cover on and the phone face down. Nobody could tell what phone it was. Now they will.
I know there was some flak on the recent GLBenchmarks and we caught hell for it around here as well. I just wanted to let you know that fit and finish on that has been polished out. Memory allocation was only single set data stream and we have now been able to utilize duel data stream with a bump in memory clock speeds. I guess you could use the analogy of SDRAM compared to DDRAM.
Scorpion chip set is very OC friendly; I can’t say what we were able to overclock the cpu’s to. Please no question on that one. I can say that we were able to almost double our GLbench scores with just the memory fix though.
The larger battery is the real. I can’t say what the final battery size is though. I can say from 8am to 6pm under stress test no need to plug in.
HTC EVO 3D does have two processors, which everyone here has seen on GLBenchmark site (Who Knew!) Important thing to mention is they take up less real estate then a single snapdragon processor die..Clue on power consumption.
I guess the last one that guys might like to know is that the front facing camera, is not 1.3mp. The one we have in house is 3mp. The back ones can’t be discussed right now, but they do have some cool tricks other than stereoscopic.
I always felt that it would be a cold day in you know what before I turn my EVO over specially after all the customization, ROMS, Tweaking, Benchmarking, and showing my 4.3in screen size to Apples boy like screen size. Update! All those tweaks, they will work on the new EVO with very little effort. Devs can rejoice.
Lastly, the battery form factor is interchangeable, but you are not going to need to though.
I’ll stop in from time to time. I have no clue on release date. I have to admit that one does make me laugh. I remember the original EVO release date was publicly announced and we still had gold work left. It was unlimited OT for almost a month straight. I have to say we did understand what the fans wanted and the time line they wanted it in, but it was/is a product we believed in. I think most can agree we crammed in a good amount fun factor considering it was a year ago. EVO still is one of the finest phones in the market, heck in the world for that matter. I know the same effort is going to be expected by all companies involved this time around too. Please keep putting up your wish list of items, doesn’t mean it’s going to happen, but doesn’t mean we can’t squeeze it in (Somehow) Enjoy the show.
Cheers,
BSOD(>-_0<)
its damn slower than my htc evo shift...seriously not like in opening app and other stuff like launcher but in typing and touching screen have to press lil bit twice almost most of the time..charging slower than my htc shift...and it eats up all the ram everytime i open and see in task killer only shows 60m..where in shift it was always around 80 to 90m remaining same apps and everything infact not running any htc apps..and no notification lights no for charging and non for text or anything

When I leave this phone, it will be multi core(so not a nexus s), it will not have a locked/cryptographic signed loader(so not an evo 3d), and it will preferably be a four inch or smaller screen (I may have to concede on this one though the way they are going)

Wouldn't get my hopes up for Honeycomb, Google pretty much stated HC is tablet only and Ice Cream Sandwich is going to replace both Honeycomb & Gingerbread by the end of the year. So more then likely we'll get ICS long before we see HC for phones.

I'm guessing you had a Moment? The Transform is actually pretty nice for a low to mid level device.
I would also have to agree that when I switch from my shift a dual core is a must. As far as the Nexus S I wasn't impressed by it's design nor its specs. No expandable memory being on of the biggies. And no improvement in processor versus previous galaxy s phones, not 100% sure. I can't see what this device has that makes it superior to others, rather than just being vanilla android.
I'm not happy with Samsung's plasticy feel of their devices either. Makes them feel cheap. I do like the AMOLED screens but not the dotted effect that some (including me) can see.
However, I am seriously giving the Galaxy S II phones consideration when choosing my next device. Specs wise seems rather nice. Has dual core processor, nice camera, and expandable memory. And the Super Amoled Plus screen seems to correct the dotted effect of the previous Amoled screens as the rgb colors are evenly presented.

You my friend need to root your phone. Secondly, the nexus S 4G has not been out very long, and samsung is typically slow on the updates. I do not know if you ever had an EVO 4G (not shift), but when i originally had mine, it was absolutly horrible in terms of responsiveness and battery life (battery still sucks). This was 3 months after its release.
Why is this in the shift forum? Not to be an ass but I don't think this is necessary or productive. We need an offtopic forum lol

This is just a guess, but I think ALOT when on behind the scenes on the Nexus that we don't know about. I mean how would google allow their flagship phone to come out with technology that is outdated by almost a year? I think this phone was in development, and got held up, and by the time assembly on it started it was too late to scrap it. That's why there is another rumored Nexus that should be ready come Holiday season. Have to make up for your mistake somehow.

I mean how would google allow their flagship phone to come out with technology that is outdated by almost a year? I think this phone was in development, and got held up, and by the time assembly on it started it was too late to scrap it. That's why there is another rumored Nexus that should be ready come Holiday season. Have to make up for your mistake somehow.

Yea I agree with you. I didn't think Google would have purposefully put out a technologically inferior flagship device unless they had issues while developing.
If other galaxy s phones are any indication, probably took that long to get gps working.

i love my shift but can do with out sprint seeps i mean i get like .45mbps i want 100mbps at min uggggg come on sprint
So I'm positive everyone see's this question all the time. But they always judge it on the stock phones. Well I'm looking to get one of these phones, but to ROOT them. Which one do you believe I should get and why? I'm also looking into battery life even though buying an extended battery isn't a problem. Also which rom do you think is best for your pick? Thanks in advance.
Will be posting in both sides to get more answers
Epic 4g
Froyo= SyndicateROM Frozen 1.2
Gingerbread= AnonymousROM i3

I would bet that the Epic would perform better and imo the keyboard is also better. Epic is easily rooted and has a nicer display. Easy pick.
And everyone needs boob!

The epic pretty much is an all around better phone
An argument could be made on the SW side, but that falls by the wayside if you are not staying stock
Mainly, the EVO Shift is simply missing to many top level hardware items, that make it a upper mid range phone rather than the top tier the Epic is
I was faced with the same question when I bought not long ago.
Screen size favors Epic (4.0" - 3.6" That's a significant difference in Real Estate)
Screen brightness favors Epic (Samsungs Super AMOLED easily tops anything HTC has IMO)
Keyboard favors Epic (the larger size of the phone spaces the keys better, Epic has 5 rows including dedicated number row)
Processor favors the Epic (1.0 Ghz Hummingbird - 800 Mhz Snapdragon)
I believe rated battery stock time is 5.50 hrs for Epic to 6.00 for Shift.
Epic has front facing camera (which I never use, but some people do I'm sure)
The list goes on, but you can google other features.
As far as Flashing ROMs, I am NOT really tech savvy, but after reading through these forums I was not only able to root the phone quickly, but flashing was simple and I have found the ROMs I've used to be stable and functional with very few bugs. Can't beat that.
Epic, all the way.
Epic. Who ever choosed shift needs a swift kick in the wallnuts.

Even though i love my epic i would go with the shift because it has locked gps in a few seconds and capable of overclocking to 2.0Ghz and 1.6Ghz stable.
Its fun to use but i like epic 4g because of its screen. and Samsung is Easy to manipulate and easy to use like rooting and all that stuff.
But now its easy to get the Shift rooted in all.
I just like the bigger screen and AMOLED is deal breaker. i went with the shift at 1st because Samsung pissed me off as well as thousands more, with a certain phone.
Thanks everybody for your answers .. I'm leaning towards the Epic now.

Yeah .. I'm leaning more towards the Epic though just because of the screen and 5 row keyboard.. But the thing I heard is that the Epic phones screen black out all the time, and I'm not going to have insurance or be on Sprint (flashing) .. And the HTC build quality is superior to Samsung. So I'm stuck.. any more suggestions?
I figured I would post this here, even though I also placed it in the troll thread, as it was having the same discussion
I haven't heard of the Epic screens blacking out, but mine has held up beyond belief, even after facing harsh abuse.
IMO, it is a not a "power/speed" issue that makes the EVO Shift a lesser phone, but the overall lack of top end hardware features, and those CAN'T be modded in later
Here are several reviews with the conclusions, as well as links to the original reviews, and the Epic is not just a winner, but a CLEAR winner in every case.
From Techd
You don’t have to imagine how two Android smartphones would perform when pitted against one another, as the folks at WireFly have done the deed. Pitting HTC EVO Shift 4G against the Samsung Epic 4G, the latter wins out big time.
...
So, it seems like the EVO Shift 4G did admirably well for some basic processes, but stumbled badly when it comes to complex 3G graphics. But then again, it has a lower running processor than the Epic 4G with only 800MHz — though that’s not the end all be all performance measurement.

4G Phone Fight: Evo Shift Battles Epic 4G
Avatar for Brian Barrett Brian Barrett —4G Phone Fight: Evo Shift Battles Epic 4G Let's say you want a 4G phone, because 4 is one more G than your current phone has. If you're deciding between Sprint's finest—the HTC Evo Shift and the Samsung Epic 4G—you're gonna want to watch this.
Both phones are sliders, both are on the same network, and by outward appearances seem pretty much identical. But! The Epic 4G, it turns out, is packing way more horses under the hood. As it should, considering it costs almost twice as much as the Shift.

The Winner
Unlike other previous battles such as the HTC Thunderbolt vs. Motorola Droid Bionic battle, Samsung Epic 4Gthe HTC EVO Shift 4G vs. Samsung Epic 4G battle seems to have a pretty clear cut winner. The Samsung Epic 4G, even though it came out first, has huge advantages when it comes to display, and features while the HTC EVO Shift 4G manages to win a slight edge in design and software. Overall the advantages of the Samsung Epic 4G are too big to ignore and it easily comes out on top in this battle of 4G keyboard slider smartphones on Sprint.

heres the thing though Shift is running 2nd Gen Snap. And even @ 800Mhz it pulls double score than Epic @1Ghz both on froyo.
Then Shift on 2.3 just blows the sh*t outta the Epic.
Newer Technology is better.
Older Technology is Wiser.
But in the end its all down to personal preference.
Just mess with both phones see what you really like and want.

But official GB is just around the corner for the Epic (and already available if rooted). So with that, its still weigted twords the Epic imo.

Never had my screen go black or anything at all for that matter, but that would be covered by manufactures warranty I think.
The screen is amazing.

What do you mean goes black out? like the power saving feature? you can set the timer on that...
As for build quality..who told you HTC phones have better build quality? that is a myth created because the samsung phones feel so light..the build quality is top notch, not to mention Gorilla Glass..

SmartBench 2010 and other various benchmarks but Quadrant does pull higher but thats not point. the point is its newer technology 45nm instead of 65nm.
