Black color G2

so i found out there is a black color G2.... seriously why wouldnt tmo launch this sexy ass color? lol
http://www.intomobile.com/2010/08/0...ked-t-mobiles-first-hspa-phone-is-crazy-fast/
same thing happened with the G1 they launched the black one but not the white one at first wow. thats stupid in my opinion, give us the color option first! lol now i want the black G2, if they launch it ill try convincing the reps at customer service to send me the black one lmao i still doubt they'll change the color maybe if i pay something they will.

Its not black, it's just the lighting.

its not the titanium color either but whatever it is it looks sexy, have you notice the keys? they are different colors too and the quick keys are also different they look the same as the dezire z but this cant be the desire z because it has three quick keys and desire has only 2

and who knows maybe this one wont have the loose hinge lol, i dont personally care about the hinge, but it would be nice if this one comes with tight hinges.

another black color g2 http://latestpriceindia.blogspot.com/2010/08/htc-desire-z-price-in-india-htc-desire.html

lmfaooo, man as soon as this comes out, ill ask for it and if they refuse ill threaten tmo to cancel my line ill do whatever it takes to get this color

It is indeed darker in those pics. Those are the prototype images you are seeing. As far as I know there are no other colors available on the market.

Hopefully they'll let you leave if youre being serious

That's an old article and early pics that were going around.
Phone: T-Mobile G2/Vision Rooted

I'm hoping that some company will release a full replacement case for the G2...in black. I wouldn't mind taking it apart to get that blacked out look!

If you think those two phones are black:
a) you need new glasses
b) you need to adjust the colors on your screen
c) you have a vivid imagination
No, but seriously: Verizon's HTC Merge, based on the G2/DZ, might be more of your cup of tea.

I had the black G1 and I got a little tried of seeing it everyday for 2 years. So this titanium color is a welcome change for me. Thats why I bought a clear case instead of a black case. Now my wifes HD7 looks good in black. Overall the color isnt the most important. Im just glad the phone doesnt have the physical "Call" "Home" buttons. I was hoping HTC would have done away with the physical buttons and they did.

you guys DO know those pictures were early testing units right?
obviously when the time came closer to release, HTC decided to go with the color we have not, IMO it looks better than black.

HTC vanguard and it was the original z hinge.. pretty sure T-Mobile will never release it. Check eBay

No you didn't lol I hate verizon!!!, oh and it may not be fully black in fact the only black part is the aluminum but it is a blackish grey so I call it black!

I'm sure with over 8 billion people on earth that a black G2 exists somewhere, maybe India. One thing to consider, from what I've read in the tabloids, (or movies), people over there are either very wealthy and powerful or they are still living like; well; indians! I think it would be selfish of us to think that we have the one and only G2 (color, that is).
Then, again, there may only be one color!

[Port] New SDK? NO PROBLEM

r2doesinc got the new Honeycomb SDK working on the Dinc. Data working, properly scaled and everything.
There still is hope for a viable honeycomb port for our phones.

SDK ports are garbage. Anyone who actually wastes time working on them is not all that smart. Nuff said. BTW, when are people gonna stop promoting for r2, getting tired of constantly seeing a new thread about him and his work.

I'm really not seeing the point in this port.

Agreed. Honeycomb is not meant for phones, period.... Will people stop wasting their time on something that is pretty much pointless? This is like shoe horning an elephant into a stroller... Why bother?

Is it cool seeing Honeycomb ported? Yeah to a certain extent. The issue with this thread lies with r2's history on here. This thread is basically "promotional" that explains the negative comments on it...and this thread really doesn't belong in this section anyways.

So when honeycomb is running faster and smoother than gingerbread for our phones, are you still gonna say that?

Who are you guys to say how the devs are spending their time? It has absolutely nothing to do with you. Everyone here besides them just sits back and waits for them to bust their ass and put out. Regardless of if I do flash this or not, I think its rad that they're trying. To each his own.

Some people enjoy having an extremely large resolution, like me for instance. I would love to see this fully functional, as I usually change my density to a rather large resolution so as to make things smaller and have more screen space.
I'm a rom-whore, and I'm damn proud of it

If you read my threads and ask the devs, you will find that I set up bounties, and donate unlike most freeloaders on these forums. And I help some devs test their roms/kernels. My opinion is based on a desire to have our phone be a really cool dev platform but not go in directions where devs try their best to please 4 or 5 ill informed people and then give up. That would just lead to disenchanted devs. I don't think most of us want that...
By the way, I have an iphone, and will be getting a webOs tablet too. You know why? Because its pointless to be faithful to one thing when you can learn from many... Monogamy is meant to be practiced with a spouse, not a gadget... I'm not a fan of any. Just a shameless user of all.

Adjusting the DPI is a personal preference and doesn't change the overall resolution. In my opinion our screens don't really benefit it because the overall size and resolution is small.
A device like the Tab which is scaled like a cellphone screen benefits from the DPI adjustment since it has a much greater screen resolution.
Dell Streak is a fine example of why DPI adjustment isn't needed. Things just aren't right because of the 480x800 screen.

I know this is kind of unrelated to the Evo threads but. ;)

But seriously. How'd you like it?? The reviews i've been reading say that even though it's got the horsepower, it's still a bit laggy and unresponsive. not nearly as smooth as the ipad. your thoughts?

question for you: can you tell who distributes the updates? They boast it's stock honeycomb, but do updates come from google or motorola?
Answer A: where can I buy one.
Answer B: I'll wait.

Has any other motorola phone run vanilla ui and been updated by google? From my past experiences with them, motorola being a company with a big, snobby ego and them acting like control freaks, I would guess they want to pull all the strings, despite what the customer wants.

The original Droid had mostly stock Android but Google didn't handle the updates. As far as I know, the N1 and Nexus S are the only commercial phones to get official updates from Google. Motorola did do an incredibly good job at keeping the original Droid up to date though.

Any chance on rooting that bad boy or is it booby trapped like the other Motorolas.

I liked it and so far I'm liking honeycomb! Although I'm suprised you can do a lot on the phone without leaving the homescreen, like....it its pretty heavy but feels really sturdy I don't like the wake/ sleep button. (on the back) as far as stock honeycomb...i think its stock but then again I've never used any other h honeycomb device.

Sorry I'm at the DMV so I can't just make one big post lol. But the ipad in my opinion is still more responsive and performs actions a bit smoother, honeycomb had hella eyecandy tho while ios is really playing and boring! Give the xoom an update or two and I could see it totally increasing its performance. Oh yeah and the menu/back buttons are built into the os and are tiny and smushed in the b bottom corner.

If it makes you feel better, I have been in japan since january and I'm sick of flip phones.

BEFORE YOU BUY THE PHOTON (Nexus Slider)...

So, here we all are. Looking for the next big slider phone to move to. The Photon comes along and while some specs are great, overall most people hate the fact that the SIM is locked and that the battery is not removable. Some of us, maybe all, would probably settle for it, because the idea is that another slider will not come for a long period of time. HOWEVER, I just unearthed this article and honestly, I would recommend giving it a month before we all jump ship and buy into the Photon, if that is your plan at least.
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/05/01/google-patent-application-hints-at-nexus-slider/
Although this is NOT a confirmation, it is still in the realm of possibility. It is worth waiting for, before we lock ourselves onto the Photon for 2 years.
Any thoughts/comments/info?

There is some truth to Google bringing out a Nexus slider soon. Google hired the G1 designer duo, they also came up with the design for the Xbox360.

NICE!!!!!! I just sprouted a tremendous woody!!!!

Highly doubtful. I wouldn't hold my breathe. The only logical choice right now for keyboard lovers is the photon. Especially since Motorola released something similar to HTCdev to unlock the boot loader.

I guess I am use to by now having a on screen keyboard.
I do miss the trackball of the G1 that was always nice to have.
Even when I had a physical keyboard I rarely used it.

My thinking on the Q, is will there be development, more to the point, will it get picked up by CM
A Nexus device will get dev support almost by default.
But the Epic taught me to be careful about my choice in phones, as lack of great development can drop a phone from awesome, to dam, wish I could get that mod.
Those who got the Epic on release day, waited for CM acceptance on the Epic, will understand why I'm a bit gun shy about one-off devices
