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 :-?

[COMP] SE X10 vs other android phones

X10 is going to release very soon but it has already a lot of rivals: Google N1, HTC Desire, Motorola Shores (also going to be released soon)
So which Android phone is a true Phone?

The Droid.

I think the desire stands out thanks to HTC's sense interface.

X10 got Mediascape which easily beats everything else out there be it on Android or WinMo or iPhone OS or WebOS + got Timescape which is pretty much a match or better than WebOS great communication UI or better than the rest (Droid/Motoblur or iPhone's missing "unified communication")... the only negativ thing is running on DOnut (v1.6) but SE already said it will be updated - my money is on X10 and a 2.1 update by the Summer...

The Final retail-rom (not the one engadget reviewed) seems to be great! Some reviewers in the Netherlands already have them and they are very impressed by the speed, the screen and media/timescape!

Yes, I heard the same thing from a friend running it since last Fall... heck, when I tried X10 back in November it wasn't that bad already... and it's been 4+ months now, I'm sure they worked out all the kinks - as a matter of fact that was the official reason for postponing the launch date, to make it absolutely bug-free.
SE is top-notch when it comes to UI design, I always said it - it's just they have been always stretched too thin and never had the time to properly finish everything. It's a (resource) management issue and I think it is the same type confusion that caused the demise of Sony during the past decade.
SE should settle on ~2 platforms (plus their proprietary one for the integrated and lower-tier phones) and cut the number of concurrent models in half but every new release should be near flawless, as bug-free as literally possible because when you are asking $500-$1k for a phone it's better be perfect or you will lose its angry owner as a customer forever...

EW! how can you even say that's something worth holding in your hand. craptacular device. by craptacular company..

Well, I am using HTC Legend, and today I got SE X10, so what can I say, X10 has impressive screen but I am worry because it is TFT (and Legend has AMOLED), also Android 1.6 is not a match to an Android 2.1 in Legend (with and without HTC Sense).
Timescape and Mediascape are good and easy ideas, and they are beating HTC Sense in way of multimedia and friends stream (HTC Sense has Friends stream which dosent work so fine).
So, X10 is a preatty good smartphone, here in Croatia it will cost about 4500 kunas about 840 USD.
So, until they release Android 2.1 update on Xperia X10, it will be just a good smartphone with big potential, so SE if you are reading this, go to work!

There's nothing wrong with a TFT screen.

Good luck with getting an upgrade to the OS by the Summer as SE themselves have said it won't be till Q3 oh and by the time SE implement 2.1 what version will the others be at by then?.
I must say from reading your posts throughout the X10 section you seem quite the SE zealot but seriously anyone that bought a W950 and then also bought a W960 lacks a certain credibility IMO.
As for your claims about Timescape and Mediascape just being the best how's the Crystal ball doing as from what I've read they both suffer when updating. They may look pretty and functional when not very full but once they have lots of data to deal with they slow right down. Maybe you should have a device in hand to see just how well it performs when full of data before claiming it to be best.
Personally SE lost me from UIQ3 and nothing they have done since then has tempted me back till now either. It will be interesting to see if they do manage to actually launch a relatively bug free device for once. As although this is there aim they seem to keep falling short of this objective, it will interesting to see just how well the X10 does and what ordinary non SE fans make of it.

Looks amazing! Cant wait to get it!

whats up with having both the legend and the X10`? doesn't that get kinda expensive.
Anyways, I did like the HTC magic, untill it got thrown into the wall in anger, because I was pisst off at a friend
And I have always loved SE, unlike Nokia(that I used to like before) are they actually trying different OS's etc.
+ I feel like they have better designs etc.

not very expensive at all when you WIN both the phones. read prior posts

I know that, I read it in another thread a while after I posted this. So the "prior posts" thing, is kinda wrong to say.. since it wasn't mentioned in this thread.
And it wasn't posted in this thread, so I don't really see the big problem here.

I'm having my doubts, I'm actually thinking between the Nexus One and the X10, I'm currently liking the Droid due to the keyboard only because I email alot, and would not like to go for a blackberry.
The x10 seems fantastic, just that the absence of a physical qwerty may put me off.

Indeed. Once you go physical QWERTY, you never go back !

This might sound stupid, but only reason I'd get X10 than other phones (like Galaxy S, Milestone, Desire etc.) is cos the X10 looks much better, and my 'blind loyalty' to SE. But in terms of specs/features... well... X10 is really lacking.

CES 2011 | my impressions and pictures of XPERIA ARC [=

well I live in vegas and I went to ces especially to see and test the new XPERIA ARC.
Well, its super thin and super fast heh.
The.timescape app looks.a bit different and the new timescape and media scape widgets are wayyy cooler cuz u can just browse all the 'cards' on ur home screen without opening the actual apps.
The transitions are fast and lag free but like every other phone there was a mil second lag once.in a while.
The app drawer looks different a bit, it horizonally and every page has a folder like frame.
As for the device hardware it.is a VERY slick a business like type of phone, u know the type of phone u wear a suit for lol and look like an important business man.
It is very slim and super light. The arc like design is really nice too.
The new bravia engine does make pictures look way better when taken in the dark and the screen itself is very colorful bright.and sharp.
As u can see in the picture bellow they had both colors at the show, the silver and the supposesly blue one which looks totally black.
The stuff I didn't like about this phone are the fact that the camera button is super small and it doesn't have the half press focus button like the x10.
the usb port was on the side like the x1, not sure if its good or bad heh
And of course my BIGGEST complaint.... we won't be able to have this super cool slick phone in WHITE color :-(
And yes I just made this all topic from my beloved white x10 eh.
Enjoy the pics.

We are in the world of 3G and 4G.
Where is the front camera for face calls?
Is it not the most needed in such high end phone in this era?
Can we add the front camera before releasing it out?

Seems to be a regional phenomenon, but in Germany i NEVER EVER saw anyone video calling. Nobody does this here and nobody seems to care about front facing camera either.
Germans, correct me if you think I'm wrong.

havent ever seen one person yet who uses video calls.

People are conservative in Europe. Showing emotions in public is dangerous and it's impossible not to when you're video-calling someone.
As for the ARC … It's another illusion, just like the rest of the Xperia line. Good hardware, promising project, but a developer not very fond of software development and open-source programming, hence the bootloader.

4 me SE is dead....

Thanks for your review and photos, I cannot wait for it to be available in Singapore soon.
No regrets having my X10 besides other brands of Android despite SE delay in the firmware upgrade but overall the user experience is superb as I do not have any occasion that my phone will hang and I have to remove battery to restart the phone compared to other brands.
Xperia Arc is my next phone after my X10.

Qualcomm MSM8255 is a mistake, that is so 2010

Almost outdated hardware, stupid aftersales service, slow software development? I've learned my lesson with X1 and X10.. Won't be rushing for this one..
Better to get that Motorola, the one you can plug to a thing to create a laptop..

Was introduced in Denmark back in the '05/'06. Never really caught on.

Never seen video calling actually being used here in Canada either.

Biggest mistake is not having the charge port on the bottom of the phone. Don't understand why they do that.....................

I'll tell you what, i can never go back...

to a smaller screen now. This phone rocks! Sure, i have a few (non-dealbreaker) gripes similar to others' but ignoring those, the Note is PERFECT. The screen is the most important aspect of a smartphone and the Note's is gorgeous. I hope Samsung continues to make devices this big and badass because like i said, i won't ever be able to use a crummy less-than-5inch screen again.

I couldn't agree more.
At first I thought it was a giganta-phone. But having been a phone owner since 1991 (when they used to cost real money), I must say the Note cleverly nudges the envelope.
My other smartphones look like wee toys.
My tablets look like laptops with their balls cut off.
Out and about: GNote
Between home and office: 17" MBP

ahahahhaha! Nice one! Never heard it before. Or at least be putted like that.
And on the subject, a 5.5" or 5.7" is NOT at all in my opinion a big upgrade from the Note. Or atleast for those who already bought or planning to buy the Note since I haven't heard/read any rumors or anything about any phones in the 5.5-6.5" category.
Now a 6" android phone? With a Dual/Quad SoC with oled/amoled screen? YES SIR!

I was using 7" galaxy tab but its too big .i think if they keep the size og GN but make the screen lil bigger that would be enough for a phone..

I don't think so. It would kill pocketability. You can squeeze in a little more by killing all the hardware buttons, but this is close to the limit.
The pocketability is great now, but we haven't had people putting cases on yet. Bigger+CASE? Ugh.

Well I respect your opinion but for me it's different.
I measured my usual pockets(costumes/jeans) and they are 19cm deep(Jeans) and 17cm(costumes pants) when sitting. So I can staff in there any phone below the above sizes before it's top/bottom emerges.
Oh and both pocket's are abount 12cm wide.
Yeah, we all have many different clothes that it will not fit(maybe same goes for GNote) but making a statement here.
So a 6" GNote look alike phone based on my measurements consisting of H:160mm x W: 92-94mm is really the actual maximum size of pocketability for me.
BUT: Practical? Manageable? Easy to use? Good for a bit of longer than usual calling etc, etc? Nuh, I don't think so.
But then again.. I don't call/speak on the phone much!
Edit: It's not THAT bigger!

Same here...been rockin' a dell streak for over a year. I've looked at the SGS2, but it seems TINY compared to a 5" screen. If the note ever gets to the states, Amazon (US), I'm getting one. A 4.7" would be about as small as I could go now.

You sir, got Note-ed!

I was looking for PDA with a big screen since 2007 after I bought HTC Advantage X7510 with 5". I can say that the ideal for me from 5" to 6" and no more. Now with Samsung Galaxy Note I would never trade it for anything less than 5" and more than 6".

A Resolution with 1280x720 with 4" is not necessary or? So i think it would be a 4,5" or above smartphone, it looks very funny at the ear . A 4" screen with the display of the sgs2 would be nice.

Hmmm they say "come meet the new galaxy" is this the sgsIII or the new nexus either or I can't wait to get my hands on one... 4.6" is a lil excessive but as we can tell by the note here comes the year of the phablet.. even so I say bring it on!!!!

I hope Samsung will release also some info about support of Android versions for this model.
Many people are mad with them for SGS(+) and Ice Cream Sandwich

I don't really care what size the screen is or how many gigaflops it's millions of cores can produce, just don't make it look like crap or make it out of something that creaks if you even glance at it.

Truth is that I will not replace my i9000 to S3 until S3 will be made differently I mean like steel all around (including screen frame) with carbon fiber battery cover, if it is going to be better - it should be better in every single way not just specs. I use my i9000 like an egg and it already have scratches on frame close to usb input and back cover because of my nail. No scratches on screen but i have tiny little dot on glass i do not know how it got there. Samsung was going with galaxy series very well - time to make a quad core tank with lifetime usage possibilities.

So your main criterion for choosing a phone is how it looks?

I've been waiting for this... Will it be the one for real?

surely will have great spec, but just wondering if it's worth its size??? not sure if will replace my SGS (one) or simply buy a tablet to meet my need for internet browsing while on the move... and hope the battery will last for 24hrs of normal usage (two emails/calendars sync on, various apps, internet etc) without looking for power outlet mid-day. My SGS hardly last for one day on one charging...

You could fit a 4.6" screen on a phone around the size of the i9000 if you ditched hard keys and had the screen almost edge-to-edge. I won't buy a phone you need to wear on your belt.e

What's the story with new phones coming in at 4.6"+ displays?
I would think the original galaxy S at 4'' was superb fit for pocket and portability. Increase that to 320ppi with a superamoled HD display and voila we have new SGSIII.
I can't see why they going for such big displays. I even have the 4.3"" HD2 and that's the max I would see for a phone.
There will be disappointment and exhilaration with this release. Either way I am buying this regardless....
EDIT: I am hoping for Wolfson DAC in the audio output. It must have this dac..
See you all in the SGS3 forums on XDA

Not at all, we all know this thing is going to be a beast of a phone, so I have no worries about it's performance, but I want something that doesn't look like it was designed by an art student trying to be "edgy"
But it is getting to the point now where they will all be more powerful than any of us realistically need for the near future, so the look (OLED vs TFT is becoming more of a non-issue) is the only real thing that's going to differentiate them. I don't like the HTC aesthetic, it's just boring to me, Sony have gone all bling again and others like Motorola just seem to design their phones for corporate boardrooms.
Samsung just seem stuck trying to refine the "not iPhone" shape of the SGS 1 in Europe, and it's getting a little boring, time for something new. And it will probably save them a few quid if Apple can't keep suing them because of a physical home button.
