Touch HD QWERTY SLIDE-OUT!! PICS!

UPDATE 2/14/09- HAHAHA!! I LAUGH AT THE VERY FIRST COMMENT POSTED!!!! IT SEEMS OUR DREAMS ARE COMING TRUE WITH THE NEW HTC MODELS LEAKED!!!!! So i guess all of our hard work and wishfull thinking has finally paid off. The only thing to really worry about now is whether HTC will hold true to the leaked hype and deliver to ATT a touch Hd variant with a full qwerty in true Iphone killer fashion. I WILL BE CHECKING ALL WEBSITES FOR ANY NEWS ON MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS '09 NEWS AND HTC-RELATED PRODUCTS. If we dont see this screen on the leaked models at MWC 09 then im definitly saving up for the Toshiba TG01!! keyboard or not, a 4.1" screen with full divx support outta the box!!? now thats an end all to smartphones for sure!! keep ya posted on all the new pics if we get any. Plus ill try to create some better quality Photoshop pics of the leaked HTC phones so we may be able to have a better resolution. thanks all for the poll responses!!!
Update!!! Ok so ive been working on the 3D model for this concept. I finished pretty much everything i wanted to do. The look is there. hopefully someone over at HTC is checking these pics out. It took me a total of about 3 days to model out this phone. and it was fun to decide the final look. overall i would say it should be no thicker than the tilt. hopefully with new tech it will be thinner. aside from that i thought it would great if the front buttons were only visible when the screen was on, seeing as how they are not physical buttons. and maybe they could all be configurable to different icons, almost as if they were on a small led screen so you could give them a custom look. the camera is now flush with the back, which is how i think it should always be. maybe physical limitations are to blame for the official design. i hope all you guys like it. I might consider putting together some models of other concept phones in the future. maybe an Iphone with a slide out QWERTY k/b!! hehe. just kidding. who knows. hope you all like them.

For me it is a fake PS and this model will never happens.

I do not think that they are will release a qwerty model as it is directly competing against the iphone and they do not want it to be thick.

I'm hoping you're wish will become true...
But we always want more... : http://www.mobilecowboys.nl/mobilerumours/8263

they are fake, I made them!! just wishing they will come true. someone needs to make thinner keyboard hardware and thinner slide-out hardware. my tilt still feels like a brick. and the touch pro? that is a joke. too thick for me. thats why i made these. my Dreams!

Thats clearly Photoshopped
I think a HD, with Qwerty will just become to bulky to be really really attractive..

And after they got the keyboard attached they will add a fingerprint scanner, tv-tuner, wimax, surround sound speakers and hdmi.
I think this is already one of the best phones HTC ever built if it is as good as it looks. The only true iPhone-killer so far I think. Of course they can build a phone that suits everyone's needs but first of all they need to beat the competitiors before experimenting. I will probably buy it next year.
By the way, on the second picture in the lower part of the picture the keyboard is wider than the phone, so when you close it the keyboard will stick out on the other side.

Great tazbo28!!!
As a happy Universal user I always have been looking for a REAL succesor of the best PDA ever made!: Universal
And this work you done it´s exactly what I call the PERFECT uni succesor!!
I don´t know if this will become real or not but I´m having hope!!!!
Congrats!!!

That's the phone I'm waiting for. Why would the iphone have anything to do with holding back production of this type of phone. They could have the best of both worlds with the Touch HD (iphone killer for those people wanting it to be dead so bad) and the Touch HD Pro (for those people who really don't want to give up the use of a physical keyboard). That's how you could kill more than just the iphone. I'll be waiting.......hopefully this will be born someday.

It would probably sell but....
anyhow, your lighting is all wrong which is why it looks very fake.

It'd be good to see the Touch HD have a QWERTY keyboard.

You tried but u didn't photoshopped it well
I just hope this could happen in reality...it would be an all round iphone killer + a wonderful piece of device.
Oh Jesus! my post got hijacked and now, the whole world wide web is filled with your mock up picture of HTC Touch HD Pro and rumours that the PPC might be coming... damn,this is what the WWW could do

I saw this on at least one other website and I don't recall them recognizing it was faked by way of wishful thinking.... doesn't take much to "start" a rumor does it.

i had a wizard and a trinity. My conclusion: the keyboard is not used all the times, and anyway too small for real typing. I bought a bluetooth keyboard but never used it....

The best PDA Fake I ever saw was done with a HP 4200 I think. They detached the touch screen from that tablet PC and hooked it up to the Dell X51v's VGA-out and claimed that HTC got a new supersize pocketpc / tablet-whatever thing. Very funny fake since they did it on video which made it look even more realistic.
If they would make a foldable version they could compete with the E90, that's a very very solid pda in that part of the business world: weight doesn't matter, just quality, size and funtionality.

It is true..why cant HTC make a ppc with keyboard just like the E90 - i mean the one that closes and not slide :-?

HD2 to have windows phone 7 series

Forward to 6:51:30 and pay close attention to the her hand raised to her Ear @ 6:51:38 and Pause....that bak of the HTC HD2 !!!!!!
They have masked the front of the phone with CGI...LoL
HTC HD2 .....YEP !!! there it is !!!
http://www.studiosevent.com/newscen...&height=360&color=FF5500&width=400&height=224

surely looks like one... and it's easier to modify the look of an existing phone with effects than building a whole new device for the express reason to make an advertisement.
But even admitting that WAS indeed a CG'ed HD2, how would it confirm we're getting a WinMo7 update?

You are SOOO RIGHT!!!
I took a screen shot of it!

It could simply mean that they weren't expecting people to watch the video frame by frame! I can't really see that this means we're getting Winmo 7 for the HD2...

Seen as there are no phones released for WP7 they had to use some sort of prop for the video!

from the still of the video, I'd say it's either not an HD2 (you can guess only from camera lens and leds), or they went so far as to model it to look thicker and with "rounder" edges.
Still, the fact that they did so much to camouflage it being an HD2 (admitting it actually is), if nothing else, proves that they didn't want to give too many hopes about hd2 getting WM7,otherwise it would have been a good idea to take the most succesful WM device on the market right now and put it in a WM7 video...

Sure, but I have no doubt that WM7 will be running on the HD2 soon after release (if not before.) It uses a newer version of the Windows CE core, so it isn't that inconceivable that it will find its way to the HD2, one way or another. Not sure what all the fuss is about, really. After seeing the videos, the interface is not that great. It is better than 6.5, but Microsoft has NEVER been known for its design strength or esthetic sense. Sure, the guy who was a designer for Nike is responsible for it, but how much do tennis shoes and cellular phone UI's have in common?
I hate the fact that MS has decided to take the position that they have with regard to the UI, but if history shows us anything, this "limit" will mean nothing. Any barrier they put up will eventually be crossed by someone.
I still think that Sense is the best mobile UI experience, and I really like it on the HD2. Microsoft has publicly stated that they will continue development on WM 6.5, so I hope that it gets updated, along with Sense, to preserve what is special about the HD2 user experience. It's just cool, and it does everything I needed my phone to do... even more so with custom ROMs.

Looks like an iPhone to me

A mocked up photo no more means an upgrade for the HD2 than a mocked up photo of a car on the moon means that it is capable of space flight!
Leaks aside, I can't see HTC rushing to provide an upgrade for a device that will be nudging a year old come the time WM7 hits the market. It's rather more likely that MS are teeing up device manufacturers for the next generation of phones. Any link to the HD2, even tenuous ones like the phone in the video, may be because the HD2 is one of very few devices capable of running their alpha/proof of concept.
As to whether I actually want the upgrade...looks OK-ish but seems to be moving too far towards the 'I won't like it if it's too hard and needs me to think for myself' brigade of Apple-loving iWhingers for my tastes. Of course this is all still essentially speculation.

lucky we got htc sence because the OS 7 interface looks ugly

if wm7 doesnot support other ui ,then all the years of development done by htc untill reaching htc sense 2.5 will be threw to rubbish as all future htc phones will not have htc sense , may be hd2 is the last device to use sense 2.5 in htc windows product line ,

there is always potential for windows 6.7 upgrade for future devices

There actually will be concurrent and continued development of WM 6.5, per Microsoft's direct statements, and Sense UI will continue to be used in other platforms, most notably, Android, so Sense is safe for the foreseeable future. I don't think HTC will scrap it, nor should they do so.
I love the Sense UI, and I wish that MS would adopt it as the stock UI in WM7, but they never asked me.
Seriously, can you imagine how it could be improved if it wasn't just a skin, but actually a part of the OS itself?

Sorry, but the Xperia X1 has been also in WM6.5-promos and it has never got an update...

I found that odd as well. Nike? What's that got to do with user interfaces??
WP7 just barely works during some of the video presentations I've seen today. In a couple of the videos, the presenter had to go back to the home panel a few times and try again or just continue on to the next feature.
It might be December before it comes out and then most of you guys will be lusting after the HD3.

Isn't HTC going to have a press event tomorrow at MWC? Maybe someone will ask a question on whether or not the HD2 will receive an upgrade to WP7?

HD2 Running WP7
I hope we can have this OS soon...

after copying iphone,here comes the x10 copy

It's been a little while since rumors on an upcoming T-Mobile USA branded Samsung Galaxy S started circulating and now it turned out that AT&T will be the first US carrier to get its own Galaxy S, the Captivate, which has just been officially unveiled

similar curve with overall ugly looking lol
i still think x10 is the best looking smart phone nowday maybe ever
shame for SE make this good thing become ****

You guys do realize that this phone has MULTI TOUCH, SUPER AMOLED, 16GB ROM, 512MB RAM and OH YEAH DIVX PLAYER.
I dont see how this is copy of x10?? I mean if having big screen only makes all smart phones copy of iphone, then yeah it is a copy. But you know what I would trade this for my x10. I would even add $200 extra if needed lol
Guys this is a better phone don't be a jelaous baby, be COOL

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that phone at all.
Looks pretty sweet, and I'm sure it's users are happy with it. No need to get jealous/hate on something someone else likes.

we are not jealous just compared the looks of it side by side and you'll see. are you blind or something?
They better make their "OWN" design on phone.

were not jealous!!!!

The design is really very similar to x10

i am more interest on Sony's next phone since it will be "pressure sensitive."
I can't wait to use it for on the go drawing.

You think thats a bad copy?

Oh, by the way. Sony is coming out with a single touch zoom that will beat multitouch and the X10 now has a Divx player, although it's not released yet. I'm playing high quality AVI's on my X10 at 24 fps, so nyah

Yeah you guys are totally right. X10 is an awesome phone, and none of you will ever trade it for Galaxy S, even if they offer $1000.00 with it.
Anyone else wants to quote me an explain why x10 is so awesome??

You are talking rubbish, FIRST OF ALL, we didnt said galaxy is some kind of cheap worse copy of x10, what we are saying, is that DESIGN is copied, not the specs, not something else, DESIGN. Do you understand now ?

DESIGN OK
From the above picture we can see the main differences between x10 and Samsung i897 Captivate;
1) Captivate has straight body whereas x10 has curved body.
2) x10 has a curved metallic feature, captivate has none.
3) x10 has 3 physical button on the buttom, whereas captivate has touch sensetive button. And Captivate has 4 buttons.
4) The top part of x10 has semicircle whereas in captivate its like a slot.
5) The body of captivate has fillet (curved edges), x10 has edged faces (except for the top).
6) The top of cativate is circular but its flat for x10.
7) In x10 there is the volume buttons and the camera button on the side. In captivate, its only the volume button.
From the above picture we can see the main differences between x10 and Samsung i897 Captivate;
1) The back is made of one piece for x10, Captivate has a battery cover of different color (and probably material).
2) The camera is situated along the center line of x10. The camera of Captivate is in the top left corner.
3) The speaker output is at the back for captivate whereas for x10 it is on the side.
JUST BECAUSE the phone has no dpad or trackball, and has 4'' screen, does not make it a copy. Yes x10 has better looks, I know that and that is why I bought it over n1. But that has nothing to do with Captivate being a copy of x10.
Now after all this explanation if you still see them having same DESIGN, then I have to say that you need either a eye test or brain test. Its never too late you know

The guy above me does not understand what we meant.
ITS NOT LIKE SAMSUNG MAKE A CLONE OF X10.
Would you differentiate all their old models at that captivate
As you can see. the base part of capitivate is the same as X10. The format of Captivate looks like X10. Of course they will not do the same thing as X10 as they will get issues and will call it a china phone.
Look at Galaxy S the BASE PART OF that phones comes from Iphone.
Now compare their old phones like Omnia 2. The phone used to be rounded edge
Compared them and Check the difference between the phone they copy and the SAMSUNG PHONE DESIGN THAT IS USED TO BE

I'm going to go out on a HUGE limb here and say that it's probably a little difficult to really make a touchscreen phone look significantly different from the competition.
There's only so many ways you can configure a 4 inch screen with some buttons.

EXACTLY! Couldn\t have said it better myself!
Also, normal people tend to like their newly-acquired phones a lot, so they will defend them. And that applies to SE owners, Samsung owners, Nokia, HTC, Apple, etc.
So, comparison threads can end up full of aggression and not so useful posts.

Things that Android 1.6 can't do

So I've been using my phone since early April, and I've found several things wrong with the Android 1.6 operating system. The biggest bug I've found with Android 1.6 is that women don't talk to me. I know if SE updated to 2.2, women would be beating each other up for a trip down my pants. Here's a list of other things 1.6 doesn't do or sucks at.
- Adobe Photo Light (It's not a Flash!) doesn't run on 1.6
- It doesn't butter my toast correctly
- When on a phone call, my ears aren't massaged by sound waves (Android 2.4+)
- It doesn't play the PSP UMDs I tried shoving in it
- Apple won't give me a free case for it
- The phone reboots when I ask Google Maps for directions to the End of the Rainbow
- Playing "The Final Countdown" doesn't result in a magic show by GOB.
- It doesn't drive my car
- The teleporting feature is only in Android 2.5 and higher
- It doesn't (deleted) when I (deleted) [Only in Android 6.9]
If you're as unsatified with your Xperia X10 as I am, your only refuge is to wait for the update to Android 2.1 OS, which many tech blogs believe is actually the Second Coming of Christ.

Not a problem with 1.6 mate, yours must just be faulty!

Jokes!!

Lol to both of you.
Just what I needed having read nothing but how truly awful this phone is (Idon't subscribe to that view... its fine by me, could be better but hey thats life)

I'm mostly upset at the advertised lightspeed jump capabilities.. Why did they only include ONE flux capacitor?
Oh where is my fusion energy battery capability from Android 69?

Where did you buy your X10 from? Consider debranding, root and reboot. Maybe it will work.

But you CAN use it for masturbation! Oh happy day! .. so I've heard.
Anyhoooo ... the question of like vs. disliking the fact that it has 1.6 or not is irrelevant. Most new apps are only 2.1+ compliant rendering the phone pretty much useless (even for masturbation).
Not so happy day anymore.

Yeah, it's like no one knows that it's a rule on the Internet that everything has to be dead serious and free from jokes. Before you know it they're gonna start making fun of cats and post gossip about celebrities.

Having a sence of humor is so last year...

apparently the Dildroid app will only be supporting 2.1 or above... sigh, it's quite heartbreaking

the only reason i want to have 2.1 its for live wallpaper nothing else. with 1.6 i have now every thing works great..

Hear hear. I'm not insanely excited about 2.1 more than from a naturally curious perspective. Rooted 1.6 works fine for me since wifi tethering was my only major gripe. Froyo on the other hand, that I'm looking forward to. A performance increase in the range of 250-500% depending on the application is a major win.

with android 1.6 ET cant go home

Too bad, you can't be as cool as me, woman see my phone and immediately jumps back. They give off this "omg what a geek" looks whenever i pull my x104 from my backpack. *yes backpack".
Yes you heard it right, i have a X104 ...which is MORE advanced than your little x10! because it is number 104.
It runs on window 7!, touch screen with a 1024 pressure with a wacom digitizer.
It weights 5.2 LBs total. Built it resist to scratch screen and capable to use it under the most bizarre and harizous condition! It also run on LONGER than your little x10...it runs for 8 hours!!!!
What can i do with it when you can't on your x10 ? Here is some list.
- Read porns in bigger screen than x10
- bang on it every night and it won't break after 5 years of uses
- It emit enough heat to warm my body and soul!
- It direct Missles ... use in military purpose sometime.
- who need android when you have window 7!
- brigther screen under the sun!
- can be use as a lethal weapon
- emit so much radiation.
Want prove?

[Q] Are you going to buy another sony-eric**** product?

I see lots of mistreated and tortured owners of Sony X8 phones.
People bought them in hope to replace old phones and use as main device.
So far NOBODY can use this phone as their main device.
The 2.1 firmware .504 was made same time when X10 was released, but we did not get it, only to receive the root-impossible .47 version !!!
I am sure this was my last purchase from sweden (yes, no ikea, no volvo and no stinky swedish fish for me from now on).
Are there more people feeling like me ?
Tell ericshits what we think of them, show your support for boycotting sweden and their stupid eric**** employees.
Nothing good ever came from sweden anyway (except Abba, long time ago)

Personally i'm quite satisfied with my X8, I bought it as a toy and to experiment with rooting, since i didn't want to risc bricking my X10. I now use it as a 3G modem with great success, but since it's the cheapest Android phone available in my country by a margin of 20% under the nearest HTC phone, i never expected much from the X8.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

I use it for everything and I am satisfied w/o rooting. It's my sixth SE phone

Your poll is extremely bias. Basically what you've done is said
Do you like Sony Phones?
-No
-No
-No
-No
Not everyone is going to agree with you.
And yes, I've always been happy with Sony Phones. I agree, however, that their decision to keep an android phone locked down is stupid, though.

Android is opensource... user can customize own phone... sony is ****... they lock android... i will sell my phone with the best buyer.. HTC i'm coming..!!! i use sony phone about 3year. i like walkman.. user can customize walkman phone.. sony ****..!!!

Development forums are not made for this kind of questions.
Moved to general.

Its realy good phone.It have everything from android to gps,wi-fi,bluetoth and is cheap.You are crazy men.Why you are buy phone if you dont like it.

Agree. Iphone 4 is worse than this cheap x8 phone I almost can do everything with it. I phone is more troublesome. Jailbreak and many other stupid things. X8 w/o root is still smarter than iphone.

I agree. Despite not being able to root 2.1 it's a very well put together device even if you havent updated yet. Besides its only a matter of time before one of us geeks finds another exploit

Yeah, dat's right. At least they gave us an 2.1 update, right?

I'm using x8 as a main phone, and i had waited it since august. I like Sony phones-the best phones.

I have a Sony Ericsson P910i. This phone was a brick. My friend, Kristian used it as a work phone. It was dark red when I got it. Kristian was painted it. I cleaned the whole device and assembled it as a brand new hammer.
Now I have an X8. Akku is **** but that is the only benefit of Android phones. My GPS flying, Android 2.1 flying as well. I need the root only or hacking the bootloader. That is only 11 more days. I can wait.
I am handling this device as a finger friendly computer. I do not brake it as Kristian but this phone lives as the fish in the ocean.

Not too keen about such a biased poll... thought I'd balance it a bit.
I'm happy about my x8, but I do realize that I would be even more happy with an android device from another manufacturer. For me, its not a phone, it's an android device. How well it performs as an android device is alpha omega. Manufacturers that don't provide updates to most recent version ASAP, are simply cut from my list of potential buys in the future.
I have no anger towards SE. I am happy about my phone. Next time tho, it won't be an SE, unless they convince me they got their stuff together and realize that its no longer about the phones, but about running android well. I'll simply look elsewhere.
Manufacturers who still think they sell phones (SE, Nokia), will have a hard time competing with companies who sell devices (HTC, LG, Samsung).

Stupid thread.Go home and cry.Dont waste our time here please.
