Where is the review?

Those up-close shots look amazing! Can't wait to get one of these

One very interesting thing in those photos is the headset. Looks like we're going to be able to use the iPhone-compatible headphones with microphone that are available. Might have to get myself a pair of Ultimate Ears!
I wonder if they'll include nice features like being able to pause/skip tracks with the button on the headset?
I'm going out of my mind waiting for this phone. I've only had the Diamond for 3 months!
So envious of europe. Actually getting a gadget first for a change and it happens to be the best phone HTC has ever made.

Europe seems to get all of the HTC phones first. I remember when I bought my TyTN, I got it from Denmark because that too came out in Europe first.

there is no leather case in the box??

How can you state that there's TV-Out, when HTC has denied this themselves? (taken from this thread)

If this indeed is true it's a very disappointing point for me.

With the current vallue of Dollars... those devicess would simply be to expensive in the US... to be a viable product...
But then the Euro has dropped 10% compared to the dollar over the last week, there is still hope.

So basicly it will have the new snapdragon chips.
Probably running 1Ghz, and having a 8MP camera, and a 3.6 size screen...

Admins, delete if this has already been posted.
I don't know anything about the Snapdragon chips, but I really wanted it to have the nVidia Tegra chip. The demo of that is amazing, and the Zune HD will have it, apparently.
Thanks for the info
UGLY design
Smaller screen?
I thought there were more larger screen HTC phones coming? I make fun of all my iPhone friends with their dinky 3.5 inch screens!
Hmm if it really has a smaller screen than I´ll better buy me the toshiba tg01 with it´s 4.1" screen! Ok its bigger than the touch hd but its thinner too (just search google pictures and type: touch hd tg01). And it also will have the 1GHz snapdragon chip. The video performance must be also great on the toshiba as you can see at some sample movies. And you can easy adjust the cpu speed on it when you don´t need all the speed and more battery power!
So if this here really will be the next touch hd than I really have to say "bye bye htc for the next months".
I´m sorry for my english
isn't that a russian touch hd on the screen? (google "touch hd yota")

So I need a hardware keyboard.........................
I know the Touch Pro 2 is due out June. I think this is the Rhodium.
But what comes next after that with a HW keyboard??
to be honest, after using the X1 keybaord, i never believe in HW keyboard.. anymore...
it was horrible
btw if hd 2 is really 3.6 inch only, i feel it is a step back.. big screen is GOOD.

AGPS
All we have to say is this, Sony Ericsson: If you don’t drop a version with US 3G along side this Euro version, you’re officially dead to us. Officially.
Source: http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009...achael-to-launch-as-xperia-x3-specs-revealed/
It looks almost the same as SE Satio (Idou) the specs are little bit different. and is the camera at the bottom ??:s weird and what is the OS? like the pictureit is the samen as Idou i gues symbian.
we shall see
4 inch? and the X2 gets 3.2? Damn...............................

Ahh , I see your point.
AGPS == normal gps plus the option of getting help from gsm antennas not something which use gprs at all of cause not all operators support it
but our current x1 is also agps but I never use it I just stick with normal gps
most people seem to confuse agps with that using 3 gsm antennas thing which it's not
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS
so bottom line is that it's the same gps as x1

I dont get it!!
why would any x1 owner want to replace it with this? it has the exact spec
and its uglier!!
not to mention that x2 probably wont have xda support

I agree. The case will probably crack .
iPhone 3gs or samsung omnia pro it is then...
they better not ask 750 bucks for it out the door.. not with the same outdated procesor... ****in milkin it for all she's worth.... i smell a boycott... <disgrunted se customer
omg... i don't want it... the screen 3.2" is still too small (for me)... and why don't i buy the prettier X1 but the uglier & (likely to be) more expensive X2 ???
i thought it looked quite nice.lol. can never tell from just pictures anyway. ill reserve judgement for when i see one in the flesh. id imagine its like when they went from the p900 to p910. where they didnt really change the specs much but improved on a lot of the bugs and usuability. im hoping they sorted the keyboard issue and the terrible reception...
I thought it looked nice. The camera is better, and what does it for me is the fact that it gains tv-out.
Where does it say it is using the same processor?
another vid here
http://www.youtube.com/user/sonyericssonworld#play/uploads/1/llk8fS0BkaE
looks like much more solid than the x1, also its got a flush screen and the led has moved to the top rather than 2 on each side which is dissapointing. was hoping they had kept the illuminations and mayb added a user editor this time around.
very nice user interface but i wouldnt be surprised if someone manages to figure out a way to flash it to the X1
dont like the sound of this though..
"It comes with a 4GB microSD card (Sony Ericsson has clearly given up on M2) and will ship in October, likely when the first Windows Mobile 6.5 devices appear, exclusively with Vodafone in the UK. "
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...ny-ericsson-finally-launches-xperia-x2-631224
I wish our great cookers gonna steal some stuff from x2 like PanelManager and some new panels. On second video we can see that performance is quite bad, normal honeycomb menu is very choppy. I think it's waste of money when the same stuff we can have on our x1

im not gona hold my breath for an october release but i hope its out before christmas. one advantage to it using quite a bit of the same tech as the X1 is that sony should be able to release it much quicker than the X1.
anyone know if its still got the optical touchpad?

SE-First.com reports that it has the same processor.

how Gille1, very interesting comment ...
hope it got an better cpu. heared it got 512 mb ram?
but it has a lot of advantages: 8.1mp camera, motion sensor, tv-out, bigger screen, stereo-speakers. not exactly the x1, right?

HTC LEO Images

Reading through a blog, i found this interested pics of the new HTC LEO phone. Worth a look !!
http://www.slashgear.com/htc-leo-caught-in-wild-1456328/
HTC Leo pics. It is real thing with WM6.5
Found this
http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-leo-spotted-in-the-wild-sports-gargantuan-800-x-480-display/
So far I have only 3 concerns
- 3.5" audio - can not see it
- And backing seems kind of ugly
- Also lower buttons are almost on the edge of the device - silicone cases may suffer from this

Welcome LEO..
the 3.5mm seems to be on the bottom of the handset, next to the mini-usb. There is a slightly extruded bit if you look closely.
And my coworkers mock me for the size of my Touch HD...
Thats one HUGE phone.
Now I see it at the bottom. Strange design

GPS, A-GPS
Accelerometer
Light & proximity sensors
3.5mm headset jack
Digital Compass
5 megapixel auto-focus camera with dual LED flash
512MB flash memory, 320MB RAM
wow that's a really big phone.
I was thinking about buying it when released but the size is really... big!
well it seems like the size of the htc leo is somewhat similar to tosiba tg01.
My new Phone.
When we see the pics, it's not too big compared with a Touch HD.
But the question is, when can we buy it?
Is it HD2?
its so big...

I thought that 6.5 didn't support capacitive screens, that that was something we were going to have to wait for 7 for.

well although HD was the ultimate fone, still we did see the sluggish and the lagged size of the fone, thanks to the newsense ui launched by htc which revived the dieing windows mobile htc hd fone,
all i expect from this fone is to be fast, and with the processsor and enough ram onboard i hope to see LEO outperform its cousin TOUCH HD.
i just wonder how it would be ANDROID + SNAPDRAGON + XPERIA 2 PANELS + SENSE UI = LEO ULTIMATE PHONE 2009
the pics are nice.the phone looks v nice.but like most guys here its a little too big.wonder if it will fit into a pants pocket.i dont like to carry the phone in a pouch around my waist like some old dude
I read that WM 6.5 will supports capacitive screens, no ?
I could well be wrong, I just had it in my head that it didn't, hence my confusion.
looks charming spec sheet wise, though judging by those side-by-side pics with the TouchHD (which is already on the edge size wise) , it will be ridiculously big
other concerns being that it's thinner, yet has a larger display, more ram and a twice as powerful cpu : will that lead to a shorter battery autonomy?
and if the screen is indeed conductive it will be annoying having to zoom in rather then using the stylus when web browsing or using some of the more ppc-oriented windows apps.
we'll see

HTC HD3 Concept

This is how HTC HD3 would have to look to be a perfect device for me.

Some specifications don't exist yet, but hey, we're allowed to dream right?
In my graphic novel (which takes place 5 years from now) one of the characters uses this phone. It's just not called HTC HD3. I'm obsessed with details so I had to designed it before drawing it in his hand. Made entirely in Photoshop.

* True Touch is a fictional technology. A tiny 0,042" (1mm) wide tile would follow your finger creating a bump for a "True Touch" experience. It would be an alternative for people who can't live without a QWERTY keyboard (such as myself).

Too good to be true.
Are you publishing your novel anywhere ?
Looks like it's sharp enough for me to spread cheese onto my toast in the morning.
The carbon fiber look sick.

I was going for a very thin yet solid look (forgot to mention in the specs that the case is made out of metal). Guess your right - it looks sharp. Oh well, that just gives the device another function - kitchen knife.

Haha, nope. Still working on it, but it's nice you asked.
looks very nice i must say and the specs are awesome, if only......
and tell us more about the book.....
Not bad, I just don't like the screen going right to the edge at the bottom, it's also technically unrealistic, even moreso as it looks curved, at least for the timeframe an HD3 would likely be released...
Truetouch is fun, maybe one day with flexible OLEDs... but that would be in many years (5-10), while how it goes now an "HD3" would be due to be out next year
Wow, nice design.
But a 8mb camera on such a thin phone its impossible.
Anyway, you have quite some design talent!
Beautiful mate. Where do I sign for one?
Very nice
Just a short note:
Microsoft won't allow any UI changes within WP7S. Is HTC Sense 3 meant to be for Android (but the picture shows WinMo in the background).
Specs seem too good to be true, the others leaked some time ago seem more realistic (for example 1.5 GHz Snapdragon). But, I hope these points you posted are correct, especially dual-boot.
specs
photoshop ok good work but i wouldn't want it

No offense taken You can't please everyone
Droool!.........want my credit card details right now?
Hmm.. I'd rather see the screen completely edged. So no carbon fiber on the sides at all ..
Overall it does look slick.. Good job on this one.

That's not Carbon Fiber on the sides - those are two huge stereo speakers
What's the point of stereo speakers that close to each other? Useless like on most phones that have them, only good to add a line to the spec list for marketing
They might by BOSE super acoustic speakers that can project the sound!!!!!!!
FFS people it's a bloody concept, stop getting hung up about it's spec lol.
It's a excellent piece of graphics design, you clearly have some skills. Now please design a decent WVGA Coreplayer skin
the current HD2 already very good
