Does anyone have an idea or thinks HTC will launch HTC Touch HD with QWERTY and call it HTC Touch HD Pro?
Anyway, that would be my perfect phone. I was about to buy HTC Touch Pro but when HTC Touch HD came out, I kinda relaxed thinking HTC Touch HD might be the right product for me. All I can think of now is, will those fellas in Taiwan come up with the Pro version for HTC Touch HD?
Any suggestions?

I had the same thoughts, then I realised that we did not have qwerty with the original Pocket Pc's. Therefore why not use a fold up (stoway) keyboard. Carry with you only when needed and it is better sized keyboard as well. Then when not required you only carry a thin phone with you the HD!

I was going to post the exact same thoughts. I too wanted to pick up the HTC Touch Pro. But after seeing the HTC Touch HD, I convinced myself I would be willing to wait up to a year, for something with that screen and a QWERTY slider. I hope HTC has this in their recent plans.
The thing is as the screen is quite large, the keys on the virtual keyboard may be quite wider and therefore make your typing more accurate. Also there are third party software keyboards that are full screen such as spb full screen keyboard. Google "spb full screen keyboard screenshots" and go to the first result.
BTW, does anyone know how I can get rid of the vodafone logo at the top right corner of this post? I am not on vodafone anymore. Cant figure where in my profile settings I can remove it.
The truth of the matter is, when it comes to engaging in multiple sms texting communications, it's hard to beat an actual, physical keyboard. It seems HTC would agree by their decision to produce the HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Pro (I know there are other hardware specs also).
What would be the harm to allow consumers to have the option? I don't consider a portable folding keyboard as an option, to engage in texting and emailing discussions. That would be too cumbersome for quick messaging.
Come on HTC..........bring this to reality.......bring this to the states for ATT 3G. Hopefully this could be a true Hapy Thanksgiving in 2009. I'm prepared to wait it out a year for this one.

Seems you know...or are testing...something we don't know about. If this dream phone comes out, and it doesn't have US 3G frequencies, I just may have to try and slit my wrists with my HTC Trinity

This is almost impossible. A friend used to have something like that for one of his old HTC PPC without the physical QWERTY - I think it was cruise or p3600. He gave it away for a kaiser so nothing beats the physical.
Imagine dropping ur fold-up keyboard home thinking, ok no heavy texting today. Suddenly, during the day you find yourself out of the office and had to send loads of emails and txt colleagues. Damn you will bite those fingers
Was thinking Athena earlier before Touch Pro. My brother got that and I wasnt all that impressive with what I saw. I wanna belive HTC Touch HD Pro will come out Q1 2009
HTC Touch HD Pro is what I am waiting for if it would finally see the daylight.

So someone add more networks to Finland. We do not have Telia anymore here
I just want a bigger screen then my Tilt with VGA and 3G here in the USA
the keyboard to me is no big deal
Looks like I will do the upgrade to the Fuze from my Tilt on my wifes upgrade then maybe if the HD comes to the USA in 2009 I can do the upgrade on my account
I hope
If they could also add
-Flash
-VGA video recording at 30 fps
-DVB-H (we got nation wide coverage of DVB-H overhere in the Netherlands)
and maybe even :
-Opticall zooming
Then it would come close to the perfect phone untill Nvidia tegra processors arive.
thanks Bjluv!

Hello guys , i hope a post this right
I am going to buy a new phone soon and I am looking on this HTC HD and i have read a lots of reviews and watched many videos , and I am now wondering should i buy this or the HTC Touch Pro or antother HTC?
I have read many posts at this forum and I have som problem to choose
Sorry for the bad english
I think nobody is able to answer this question for you at all. Its a good device, but HTC Touch Pro is also not as bad .
It all depends on what you need. If you are sending out a lot of emails and text messages, the Touch Pro might be a better choice because of the hardware keyboard. I say might because the large screen of the Touch HD makes using a SIP very effective as well.
But if you are looking for a multimedia phone, the Touch HD is the way to go.
So why don't you start by letting us know what you need it for?
Well ,
I send alots of sms but I think you will get use to the on-screen keyboard, just you get use to everything else.
Surf on the web is also a thing I do much... but the thing i do most is listen to music , and take some photos but not that much.
Whatch som movies never hits wrong.
This post was messy xD hope you understand
well it looks like the Touch HD will suit you just fine
But i wonder one thing, is it many problems with it? many says is god and many says its bad , but what i have seen the most can i find here , many solutions and fixeses
Overall, it's the best device around! And XDA has many tweeks, fixes, & even cooked roms!!
Thx guys , all thats is left now it to get the money xD
Yea man, after having the VOGUE, DIAMOND, and TOUCH PRO (which im still trying to sell) the HD is the phone i would and will go with. Thing is, i am on sprint, so once i get the phone imported, i will have to jump ship, but after having some hands-on time with the phone, trust me, it will be worth it. It's a shame that this phone isn't coming to the U.S. but, as far as rumors go......the G2 maybe an equivalent of the HD????

Is there any weight to this? Since the reg isn't a dedicated HTC/Smartphone website I'm not entireley convinced that they have their facts right here but it's interesting nonetheless.

Also if it IS true.. what a load of crap? 628 mhz? no keyboard i guess.
Why no 1ghz snapdragon or some kind?
not particularly bothered about any of the specs, but it will be running android.
Personally, I'm a little sceptical. There is a lot of bogus information out there. I've seen people create images of the HD with a qwerty keyboard and the following day websites using these same images are advertising the HD Pro.
I don't see any mention of this phone anywhere else, this is were my skeptism comes from.
Yep, I agree with you FallenSpartan, there's loads of fakes and photoshops out there. But the Register is a pretty big website and they like HTC phones a lot - Touch HD is still in their top 10 I think. Will be interesting to see whether some more info creeps out over the next few days.
El Reg is a pretty reliable source - I'd be very surprised if this wasn't true.
And disappointed - means I can jump to Android for a while without getting the Hero - aka the Forsyth (as in Bruce) Phone. I don't think I could live with that chin.

Sure, no keyboard. It's a main feature and selling point of the Touch HD.

Nothing concrete or confirmed by HTC yet
I thought i would try a stylus on the hd2 as i was so used to one on the touch HD,
well i receibed it today from good old ebay and it looks nice but it is PANTS !
maybe its just the one i got but it doest work well...
just thought i would share
Careful with non-official stylus. I ordered one, didn't work properly and stopped using it immediately before damaging the device.
wait for the offical htc hd2 capacitive stylus due out later this month.
Thanks for sharing. How well does it work for note taking?
Thanks

where i can buy this stylus? you can post a link with more info?
I bought the dagi stylus when I was in Taiwan. It's supposed to be the "official HTC Stylus" (before rebranding). That works pretty good. I could use excel quite well with it, just that I need to keep the thing at a certain angle.
If you want a reference: http://pockethacks.com/htc-official-stylus-for-capacitive-touch-htc-hd2/
I picked it up in taiwan for about US$10 if I'm not wrong. If you'd like to, search ebay for it. it's prob about US$12 with shipping.

Can you specify which stylus it was ?

I am not holding my breath waiting for a stylus for the HD2. The Iphone has been out for 3 years and they still don't have a descent one. I am not sure capacitive screen are too friendly with Styluses..... I miss my HD1 :-(
i love my touch pro 2 but kinda like the hd2 what do you think should i switch thanx!

The only way to know is to try one, honestly. Once you can find any in stock, I would just pick one up and give it a test drive, T-mobile gives you 14 days to play with it and return it if you want, no questions asked.
I have a TP2 now, and I'm dying to get my hands on the HD2. But...even with the faster processor and other new goodies, the main decision you're going to have to make is whether you can live without the hardware keyboard. I'll definitley know if I can within the first 2 weeks
Yep, agree with previous poster. If you can live without the physical keyboard, then go for it. Copy/paste and text selection are a lot harder with the virtual keyboards. Also, you can't dual boot in Android with the HD2. I made the switch, and although I'm pretty safisfied with it so far, I still miss the physical keyboard.
You can read more about my switch here:

if so how do I make it work? I have the htc video out cord that works with my touch pro but I don't know how to get it working on the HTC Hero 6250. Also how do I know if my HTC Hero 6250 is still under the 1 year manufacture warranty? what do I do?
The Hero does not support video out.

ahh ok thnx piddy, by any chance do you know how I can tell if I'm still under the 1 year manufacture? got a the phone from a friend but the screen acts a little funny. The notification bar flies down whenever I touch the screen and sometimes it doesn't..
