Unfortunately I would totally agree on that. Was thinking that it could be a potential replacement of my Fuze, not so much now... How did they manage to make a pretty decent looking phone ugly how...
i suppose i won't pass judgement until i see it in person...but eh i can't get a new phone yet anways so ....moot point
we just added a few new photos and more details...like no 3.5 jack, talk time worse than the Fuze and a possible launch date before super Tuesday

Isn't the next "super Tuesday" in something like February 2012? When exactly are you referring to?

The super Tuesday being refered to is next Tuesday because that is the day Microsoft said it was releasing Windows Mobile 6.5 along with several carriers announcing availability of WM 6.5 phones. It is the official launch date for WM 6.5 basically.
if you walk into a store today you can buy one - 100%. Just ask nice and act innocent.
you should be able to get it today in NY at least. I played with the floor model for a bit. its not as ugly in person. its not ugly at all in person. it does look horrible on the box art though.
Apart from the AT&T branding, this is identical to the t-mobile Compact V..... the case, the silver inlay on the back, earpiece, ..... all the same.
Only thing I can't see is if it has the mini-usb cover on the bottom but I guess it has.
John
Yes, it's the same as T-Mobile MDA Compact V except logos on front cover.
Ok I have to ask, why do these carriers change the phones? I'm not just talking about the TD2. I prefer the original versions, not to mention the carrier branding, ugh.
Maybe
Perhaps its ugly, perhaps its got no headphone jack... Regardless, I'm probably buying one of these later today or sometime this week for analysis/experimentation It will be nice to have a phone smaller than my fuze tho... it is kind of thick (And yes, I'm aware its thinner because of the lack of keyboard). Ill post back here when i get it, and post whether or not its as bad as everyone thinks.

Posted this in the General forum, but thought you guys may be interested as well.
Just noticed this over at Coolsmartphone.com
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/5-Mega-Pixel-...38331QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=em300090753602
Appears to be a PDA with a 5MP Camera!!!
Beware though, says it has WM5 on it, however a closer look at the silver model reveals WM2003 and black has WM5.
Not a chance that i'll bid on that.
Any thoughts??
S.K.
It it is even remotely real then it is probably from Japan or Korea or something like that.
Otherwise I would say that it is just a scam. After all, a phone branded as "Pocket PC?" Come on...
Yeah, appearently Chinese OEM manufacturer.....
That PDA is one ugly mothe..........
Thats looks like some Photoshopped SE P910/Samsung love child!
That is a concept from some chinesse ODM from a long time ago circa 2004. I dont think it ever came to market but I remember seeing concept pics of it.
That is definately a Samsung "OK" button.
Googled for it and found something here.
It looks like cheap plastic.

Why not??

HTC's hipsteriffic invitations for a June 24th event in London contained precious few clues (DUDE'S WEARING A ROSE), but the Economic Daily News is now reporting something totally reasonable: it's for the Hero and Lancaster, HTC's presumed next Android phones.
Curiously, the paper refers to the two phones as one device, in two versions differentiated only by a keyboard.
The HTC Hero will be available in two versions, with and without a QWERTY keyboard. The model with a keyboard will be named HTC Memphis, or HTC Lancaster for sale by AT&T exclusively in the US for six months starting the third quarter, the paper indicated.
It certainly looks like there'll be a bit more than that to set the devices apart, and for the sake of variety, I hope there is. In any case, we'll be there. [Economic Daily News via Digitimes]

Looks like we won't be getting the Hero, or we have to wait until after the 6 months AT&T has it exclusively?
that phone is UGLY!! the mytouch 3g or what ever their calling it . looks way better
The version without the keyboard will probably be Hero, since the Lancaster is the one for AT&T.

how about this one?
http://ow.ly/b3EG
Anyone noticed that at least the Lancaster version has only a 240x320 display?
If this is also true for the HTC Hero version, it would be a clear disadvantage.

LMAO!!!!..............You are absolutely right. And why do they intend on doing the "Chin" thing on these devices. I mean im not really complaining(Lie) but i really want to know why and what purpose dos it serve.......lol im just saying.
this means that we're gonna have a better hero build with bluetooth that works
For those of you that hae the PURE or have looked at (touched/played with) the PURE I was wondering what you all think of the build quality.
I walked into a AT&T store and they didn't have any on display so I asked if they had any I could look at to compare to my TD2 and they pulled one out of the box.
The phone looked nice and everything. Same size as my Topaz, a lttile lighter, and plasticky.
Do any of you feel that it feels cheap? Compared to my original Diamond2 it felt wrong.The shape and all was good just the quality and material. In all honesty I was happy the US got a decent phone but I was dissapointed @ HTC for building such a cheap quality device. I guess it would make sense to build it cheaper so it would sell for less due to material cost but man was it a dissapointment.
Thoughts please.
I never held the D2 but my Pure is very solid. Sure it's all plastic but I'm yet to hear it creaking.

Got mine in the mail today, and so far it feels solid. The USB port cover feels a little flimsy, but that's been the case with every phone I've owned, and I haven't had one break off yet. I'm quite happy with it so far.
So anyone knows the PURE equals to? Is it a Topaz?

I own a D2 and i didn't held a Pure yet but Pure looks a bit like Blackstone. Black, oval, plastic. D2 looks very nice BUT of course they're both same devices.
it look just like the t mobile version of TD2 to me

Yes that is the T-mo UK MDA Compact V (TD2) I have US T-Mo with an unlocked D2. The original styling. Compared it doesn't feel the same. Mebe I should have asked Compact V owners the Q since they would more likely have experiance with both versions since it is readily available almost everywhere in EU.
This isn't exactly Dream related, but definitely Android related which is good for all of us, for those who aren't aware, sh!t just got real tonight as Verizon launched its first Droid(aka Sholes) commercial:
http://www.droiddoes.com
Not only is the commercial straight comedy in the best way possible(at the expense of Apple) but they keep it 100% real, no disclaimer required. I say bravo, wish T-Mobile had launched a campaign like this when the G1 rolled out, the commercial will play Sunday during the NFL games so people who missed it can view it in HD. Hey Apple, Welcome to the Revolution!
I was just watching that. Good for Verizon. Good for Android. I'll be sticking with my G1 and TMO but daddy has Verizon and he may be adding another line soon...
ilove it...Apple will "sauce" their pants
that was hilarious, i remember sir*mez saying something about that commercial last night.
Anyone notice that it says "DROID" is a registered trademark of lucasfilm at the bottom? Wonder if they're just allowing them to use the name or if there's more to it.
Would be funny if R2-D2 and C3PO ran android. I suppose R2-D2 would have a Hero rom and C3PO would have a motoblur rom, what with him speaking almost every language.

Lol I thought I was the only one that noticed the Lucasfilm trademark. That seems somewhat strange to me. Anyone else have any thoughts?

hey haykuro
long time, no see around these parts. good to see you are still around or maybe making a comeback now that the traitior is out in the open
yeah, Droid is a registered trademark of lucasfilm, so it's licensed but unless I'm getting Obi-Wan'd this is definitely the Droid I am looking for. The specs on it are awesome, and allegedly it's as thin as the iphone with it's sliding qwerty, can't wait till HTC matches this and throws it on good ol' T-mob.
looks like the htc dragon will be, or at least the phone they are suspecting to be the dragon. it has a keyboard too, that is what i am gonna go for
lets sure hope so..... but in case it is a bust we have thissss

Hi, I've decided that I really want an Android phone and if I have a choice between the Tattoo and Hero, I've gotta get the Hero for about 40 bucks more after unlocking, but I have a few questions before buying. First and foremost, is the GPS in the Hero spot-on? I read that the Tattoo had a hard time finding your location, and when it did it was about a mile off anyway, so it was pointless for driving. Second, does anyone know when the Enclair update to Hero may be? I was just wondering about that, if anyone on the inside may have leaked it here.
First: the GPS has been working great for me so far.
Second: We don't know for sure but from some sources, it's coming soon. Soon could be anything, really, but the fact that an early build exists means HTC is definitely working on it.
Also, I'll say go for the Hero since you get a better screen. The Tattoo has a 320x240 resistive screen, which means scratches, and the Hero has a 480x320 screen which is not only higher resolution, but is also capacitive, with a glass surface that's extremely scratch resistant.
Thanks for the reply, the only think I like about the Tattoo over the Hero is the faceplates, I made some *****en plates on their site. Yeah, *****en.
Yeah, but Hero has the *****en design. ;D
You should see how girls suddenly started talking to me since I got mine. ;D
"oh wow what's that phone? *squeal*"

the hero takes the piss owta the tatoo, in terms of design and use also the gps on the hero is awsome, i use copilot live and it only takes seconds to get a gps fix even indoors, on my HD using tomtom it takes about 2-3 minutes even when im outside lol
lol. FML, I ended up having to pay bills with my extra money, anyone know where I can get a cheap Hero? I know, contradiction, but even a locked one? Some people just end up selling their locked phones because they don't like them, I can unlock them myself. I can get a cheap ass one from here but the fact that the website was started several weeks ago by a free host, no fn way. The only ones I can find on eBay that go for less than 500 bucks that are even new are Sprint...and I really want the Chin, must be the Bruce Campbell fan in me. Oh, and can the Hero do this...
