yeah ur right, ... I read it all, word by word, although am not interested in Legend (into desire) but just a warm up for the desire review
which i dont think will be that different from the Legend

It just confirming what I said about the great possibility that the Desire will have a way louder speaker than N1 if HTC uses the same one as Legend
But it's a little deceiving about the direct sunlight, Techradar was quite the opposite saying it's perfectly readable

this review is the best at the moment (techradars is good too but...)....the sunlight thing for is very subjective as i see it, one sees it this way one sees it the other way!!

I really dont see any deal-breakers here, .. I mean, ok the AMOLED does not look so great under direct sun-light, what are you gonna do with the phone under direct sun-light anyways? .. making a call probably, you can easly see the numbers and names. (you should not worry about seeing the numbers looking soooo great)
I cant imagine anyone sitting outside his home and positioning his phone under-direct sun light to see a movie, can you?

yes that's what i am saying irkan...i posted it in another thread too where someone complaint about the sunlight. i don't have a problem with it and as you said i won't be watching a movie while outside under the sun.

I agree. I checked visibility under direct sunlight, and I can see quite enough for doing any basic function. All other things doing on direct sunlight is pointless with any phone.

Strange Unknown PDA apeears on ebay!!!

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.

Nobody else notice this gem of a feature listed near the bottom of that auction:
BMI Calculator Yes
Menstrual Count Yes <--

Are you trying to say that your phone does not have a menstrual count?
Why not??
That my dear fellows is roughly (and if possible) a working Matrix Reloaded Samsung something something something,,,, look for it in the second film,,, they asked Samsung to make a highteck phone that they could market with the film,,, since it fell through the only ones ever made were live dummys used in the movie... (if ya look arounf on fleabay hard enough you can spot them,, dummys in a collectors tin ^_^) from the looks of it someone found out the designs and started tinkering to make a real phone
I dont think it is real though lol

Xperia X10 vs HTC Desire Video Camera Test!!!

Take a look at this youtube test Video youtube.com/watch?v=BYnTR-BGNHU[/url]
I for 1 am lucky i went 4 my x10 can always get the new updates and a gr8 camare
X10 is so much better
sharper, more vibrant
Better fone all 2gether
Yes video playback and picture quality is definetly better, but I feel overall Desire does seem to function better and with less bugs.
X10 looks better, screen size to my liking but too many bugs. Potential to be a cracking device but not quite there yet, where as Desire works better out of the box.
Hmm, curious how you have the same traffic passing at the same time in both those videos.... ;-)
It could be two persons, each with one phone ? If you look at the angle's and positions you can see that its not the exact same video...
itz the same person holding 2 phone in 2 hands...........
HAHAHAHAHAH...... thought that was obvious.. apparently not!... Yeah.. X10 camera rules..
My wife has X10, i myself have a desire.
They could at least have cleared the lense on the Desire, and maybe tweaked the settings at bit... ;-)
Alltogehther, X10 has at better camera, but the films we have made havent made that profound difference.
Biggest downside using the deisres videocam is the awful sound- its really crap.

Example photos?

Hi Guys,
Had my Desire HD for 5 days.. thinking of selling it and buying a Nexus S!
Just wanted to see some examples of photos taken with the Camera?
I've no need for amazing photo quality but still want something reasonable to justify the hassle in switching.
Thanks in advance
I took this picture in a completely dark room: Click to see how well it turned out
Also when you check out that picture, I have a picture of a fluffy green android I took, that was in a relatively dark room. (It's the one taken after December 16th)
Thanks for the reply... link doesn't seem to be working though?

Awesome thanks ... works now i'm at home so must have been my work PC playing up.
Looks good, pretty sure i'm going to swap
* UPDATE *
I'm now a proud owner of a Nexus S .
Went into my local Carphone Warehouse and from the minute i held it i knew i would buy it!
In my opinion it's positives over the Desire HD are:
- Speaker clarity and volume is 10x better
- Handset feels like a perfect size and weight (Desire HD was very big and heavy)
- The Super AMOLED screen is amazing!
- The camera takes photos and videos that i'm more than happy with
Good luck mate, its definitely a better phone than the hd, but the hd is a better spec

Thanks.
Yea i agree the HD is a great phone but for me just not practical.
I found typing on the HD a real pain and made endless mistakes. With the Nexus S it's easy
Welcome.
I also think my NExus S is beautiful.
You know, after spending the last few days wading through trolls who came to this forums just to trash a phone they don't own, don't have any intention of buying, and never even held, it sure is refreshing to see a post from someone who acknowledges the shortcomings of this device and yet, is still satsified with it because it is, in their opinion, right for them.
Thank you for this thread, OP. Let no one else but you decide what is right for you.

Xoom's day out! =)

It was a beautiful sunny Saturday in New York City, so I took my Xoom out for a little shooting test to see the camera capabilities. I have to say, I am VERY impressed by its photo/video quality under normal sunlight environment.
And... there are windows for Alexander McQueen's work... my girlfriend's favorite..

Last, a HD video shooting a street magician swallowing the long sword... I think it is real... I can't find the trick, can you? Please let me know
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-PuQNZd6ec
This is a copy of the original post on Opinionated Fool
Very impressive, the xoom picture quality as well as your choice of images.
Nice pictures! And quality!
Can you also post a link to archive with full size images? I think I'm not the only one who will be interested.
Also the swallowing seems real. Unles the sword folds telescopically, but It doesnt seem to.
Thats either a really good slight of hand trick where he swaps the sword or he can really swallow a sword. I watched it three times and the only place where he could have swapped the sword was the point where he points to the other exibit, so I don't know.
Love how he keeps looking at the Xoom in the vid

I never said it was new. I said it was a good comparison that I personally haven't seen before, so I'm assuming other people in the HTC forum haven't either.
Amazing! Pure genius!! Too good to be true!!!

You know what's great about the Internet? People can find something somewhere that proves just about any point they want to make. Whether it's valid or not.
The s/w at the launch event where the pics OP posted were taken was two revisions ago. GSMArena tested with what was shipped out on the review devices when they did their One vs. SGS4 comparison which was the second revision. They posted this along with pics taken with the newest (and shipping) s/w.
Update, April 12: We got our hands on a retail unit of the Galaxy S4. Here are some samples shot with the market-ready Galaxy S4​
Here's the link for those that are objective...
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s4-review-914p9.php
Others can just praise and thank OP for his “The One rules them all!!!” post.
This is a bit like arguing which is better a macro lens or a wide angle lens. It's clear the One wins in low light portrait situations and the S4 in daylight landscape like situations. Which is better, depends on the situation. Personally I like cycling and have taken some nice landscapes with my phone because it's easy to carry and you need a phone anyway, so I will miss those pictures but on the other hand I have taken many night shots with my phone too and they are mostly crap but I usually have a camera around then too....
Anyway which one is better depends on your personal use
