myTouch 3G HD Rendering Appears Again, This Time Shows Off The Back

By David Beren July 29, 2010 9:01 am EST Comments (264)

There were definitely some mixed reactions with the surprise arrival of the first myTouch 3G HD shots. Some loved it, some loathed it and some just thought they were plain out fake. While we can’t say much, we know that both Engadget and AndroidCentral received the image so we’re hoping someone wanted to spread the joy rather than spread falsehoods. That being said, this time we’re back with our own addition to this story with the above image, the backside of the reported myTouch 3G HD.

For your enjoyment we’ve also added in a non-watermarked edition of yesterdays original image so you can all take a closer look. We’ll stay with the idea that the image is indeed real with the myTouch logo again appearing on the backside. Quite a few of you took notice of the myTouch logo placement appearing below the earpiece on the front side of the device, typically where the T-Mobile branding would go. As this appears to just be a rendering, it’s likely that a production run device would swap the logo placement with T-Mobile branding. Hopefully we’ll find out soon enough!

Trying so hard to not be an iPhone but it’s failing miserably at actually looking good.

MyNamesNotRick

Thank You!!!!

It’s the same thing I’ve said about the Vibrant.

In regards to design the myTouch and the Vibrant they have no personality. And they come off looking like knock offs.

I mean just look at the name “myTouch” :: “iPhone”

At the end of the day the myTouch will have great guts, but including with this phone, phone design has been a problem with the T-Mobile designed phones ever since the sidekick which, was a distinctively looking “T-Mobile” phone at least.

It’s one of the reasons why I like the Charm.
Sure, it could be considered a BB knock off, which was a knock off from the Treo. But it does have it’s own style.

It may not have the power of the Vibrant and myTouch HD but it has (relatively) it’s own look.

…..meh.

Brad

Now we’re complaining about perceived *style*?? Good grief…
sorandkairi

I’m with you Brad… its about the functions and capability of the phone that i am really looking for… not if it looks like an Iphone or not!
pimpstrong

Complaining Fail
rob

Yeah you’re a douche. Theres not really to much you can do with a phone design thats not going to look like another device. Unless you design it to look like a banana or a video game controller i think that everything has pretty much been done in most cases. But if they designed it like that then you would be claiming that all they’re doing is biting off of the design and ingenuity that Mother Flipping Nature came up with. Stop crying and go complain to somebody about how you have no life or friends. Go sit in the corner.

“Simpson’s did it”

The video game controller is so 90′s.

Shannon

I’d say it looks more like the iPaq which came out YEARS before the iPhone…
Davidohio

Just because the corners are rounded and not pointed does not make it look like the iphone. Neither the front nor the back looks like an iphone. In fact, the back looks more like the 3g Sidekick than an iphone. Is that really your picture? If it is I’m sorry. Ugh.
Davidohio

Watbetch, what is wrong with your eye? One is bigger than the other! Is that really your picture? lmao!
Marc

The back looks much better than the front.

Zoog

I’ve said that about a few chicks.

http://tmonews karl

its called candy bar style and apple does not hold the rights to all candy bar style with trim, which this one does not!
for that matter why does sprint, verizon copy the HTC HD2?? they can out with it first. can you say EVO, Driod, incredible even the HTC vision and yes i know that HTC is the maker. but talk about cookie cutter shapes. apple doesnt have the nads to change or add a different style, oh wait they just changed the iphone to look like an HTC phone—squared off edges, ummmm……interesting.

Namo

Nay, the screen is small, it has to be at least 10″ before I even consider an upgrade.
ob18

Just curious if they rolled out the HSPA+ network why 3G would be in this phones rumored name.

sorandkairi

… because its… still 3G!
Davidohio

@ob18 hspa+ is a software enhancement to the 3g network, not a new kind of wireless network lol
TheFunnyGUy

so u rather it be called myTouch HSPA+ HD. that doesnt really sound nice, and the logo doesnt say 3G it just says myTOUCH

Dreboogiebx

Is it really that hard for Tmobile to give us a 4.3 inch android phone that takes advantage of their hspa+ network? I mean seriously, Tmo was the android pioneer and not sits on thier hands while VZN drops the droid, the incredible and the like. Even AT&Ts captivate looks sexier than the Tmo Captivate. 1ghz+ Processor, 4.3 in screen, android 2.2, HSPA+, and a ffc. Is this really a unicorn? The other carriers made it happen, can we finally get our flagship android phone?

NiiDiddy

You meant Tmo Vibrant.

Still love the Vibrant though. For the Vibrant, it’s what is does for me right now and not what it looks like. Besides, it’s not that bad looking even if you think it doesnt have its own personality.

Aaaaanywho….I think the future is looking bright for t-mobile. I must admit they have done more than they normally could when it comes to devices; while what they are doing might not be “enough” for a lot of us, i’ll still them credit/recognition for pushing on. Eventually they just might get it all right, so they can make everyone happy.

One thing I noticed with other carriers–a lot of their phones are actually cheaper; i think this is because their flagship phones sell so well regardless of price that, these networks have to drastically lower the prices of their other smartphone segments they carry (sometimes practically give them away) just to get rid of that inventory etc….and most of those non-flagship smartphone are actually still decent that it will sell anyway. That’s where t-mobile needs to be, and thats what we lack in a flagship series of smartphones…
Tmob

I actually think the vibrant looks much better than the captivate. Idk why everyone rips on the iphone look.
Relikk2

The other carriers didnt make anything happen. The only phone that runs 2.2 is Tmobile phone, Nexus (unless you root your phone). The Samsung CPU is better then Snapdragon and is the best out right now. Vibrant/Captivate is currently the best hardware available with Iphone mildly behind it due to its higer rez (but lower GPU). FYI, Samsung makes the Iphone CPU.
Reece

“1ghz+ Processor, 4.3 in screen, android 2.2, HSPA+, and a ffc … other carriers made it happen”

actually, NO U.S. carrier not named T-Mobile made a HSPA+ COVERAGE happen much less rumored device(s).

Relikk2

There are rumors that AT&T is moving to HSPA+ before they step to LTE, but as you said I have not seen any AT&T devices with it.

Davidohio

What do you think they are working on? They don’t have a magic wand. Be patient.

newyorkking

OMG, Please don’t be the first hspa+ phone
NO!!!
Look at the photo showing the back. You see that hump on the left. Same you find on the HSPA+ website. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
DAMN YOU T-MOBILE, I WAS EXPECTING BETTER.
ME NO HAPPY :(
1ghz 2nd gen, 5mp with flash, ffc, android 2.1, 3.7in screen, boooo
Somebody show me that htc vision with a keyboard quick, i’m going to die if its myTouch. ohhhhh

jeff

that’s what i’m saying. why can’t they just deliver. its kinda sad. just bring the evo or x. who cares about my touch junk.

newyorkking

when they said revolution, I was hoping a return of the sidekick, or the g1 since a phone last for 2 years, then it has to be continued. MyTouch isn’t a smartphone, its like a phone try to make big. You can’t take it seriously with android.

Perry

Actually the back shows that button on the left, but the front, which is what we would expect the silhouette to be, has the button on the wrong side. So, unless they are showing the back of the phone, the images do not match. Therefore, these images are fakes. I believe someone just photo shopped a mytouch slide and created their own back portion. It just looks too similar to the slide to be its own phone. Besides, they only make one mytouch per year,and this would be the secon of 2010, after the slide.

Leachpunk

Um the mytouch just came out last year… how do you know they only release one a year, thats not quite the trend, considering they released the mytouch 3g and the mytouch fender 3g last year.
newyorkking

on the photo of the back, the button is on the right OKAY!
What is on that left end? THAT HUMP!
sorandkairi

@Perry… no offense but you’re stupid! POST, i dont like using this term but in this case it fits…., FAIL!
Zoog

The FAIL is strong with this one.

David Thomas

I would have been happy if the Vibrant was the first HSPA+ phone.
shawn1224

Dude stfu, do you even have a mytouch? it’s every bit as much of android as any other of HTC’s offerings. More customizable than any other android to boot. Your gripes are ridiculous and unfounded. If this phone has a high spec processor and gpu then it’s still one of the best phones on tmobiles lineup.

Davidohio

NEWYORKKING is as dumb as they come! How can you saw that an android device is not a smartphone? Lmao! The mytouch is a great smartphone. Oh well, there is one in every crowd.

Davidohio

Calm down this is not the first hspa+ phone.
Mahmoud

i don’t think that is the phone on the HSPA+ website because the one there, if you look at the top and the bottom they are flat but the mytouch HD’s IS CURVED. and that button on the mytouch HD doesn’t match the one on HSPA+ website. T-mobile just launched the mytouch slide a month ago why would they launch another one and call it a revolution. EITHER THOSE PICTURES ARE FAKE OR THEY ARE REAL AND THE MYTOUCH HD WILL COME OUT BUT LATER.thats my opinion.. i hope its true because i really don’t like the my touch lineup.

http://magicbluesmoke.org longcat

Not really sure if 14.4Mbps with QPSK/16QAM can really be considered HSPA+. Higher data rates use QPSK/64QAM – probably drains the battery a lot more to manage that.

No way we’ll see 14.4 (requires 97% of chips to be received successfully) unless we’re sitting under a tower or it’s a stone’s throw away, however I do think 10Mbps will be reasonable (requires 70% of chips to be received successfully).

The 64QAM data rates, 17.6Mbps, 21.1Mbps require 82% and 98% success rates respectively. Once a 21Mbps device comes out, real world will probably be around 17.6Mbps maximum.

That’s a nice small phone, I only hope the battery life is better than the Slide. A coworker has one and hates its battery life. It’s going to take a good all-around phone to pry my iPhone 3GS on EDGE out of my hands and if I’m going to settle on Android I want something with battery life no less than that of my current phone.

This could be it for me depending on battery life and certain important features (30fps 720p recording, decent camera, general performance) but I’m going to get a good picture of what’s available before jumping into anything too quickly.

Garet

once you get your android phone mark the little 2g only box and I am sure any of the devices will have better battery life and if you dont see the advantage of any of the android phones even the G1 is better then the 3gs you dont need an android.

Deinfinityx

Just to throw my 2 cents, the logo which you say will be replaced by the T-Mobile logo is probably the real logo. My Mytouch Slide has a Mytouch Logo in the exact same place, in fact it doesn’t have one T-Mobile logo on it anywhere.

David

The 3G does, but the Slide model does not…so half right I suppose.
bryan

I saw the same thing. The logo on the front in the picture is a different logo than on the Mytouch Slide but it is in the same place; directly under the earpeice, as the logo on the Mytouch slide. Personaly i would be interested in a Mytouch slide with a higher resolution screen and faster processor, i love the Mytouch Slide i have had since a month before release. The larger, higher resolution screen would be more important to me than a faster processor, that is what I notice the most when comparing to phones like the Vibrant.

Rachel

Wow! what complete garbage of a phone!!!
TMOBILE CAN YOU PLEASE DELIVER A PHONE THAT PEOPLE WILL ENJOY AND BE ABLE TO DO STUFF THAT OTHER CARRIERS PHONES CAN DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jay

LMAO UR AN IDIOT… NAME ONE THING TMOS PHONES CANT DO THAT EVERY OTHER CARRIER CAN DO ( AND DONT SAY THAT DUMB FRONT FACING CAMERA CAUSE U KNOW U WILL NEVER USE IT) SO COME CORRECT… IM READY TO SCHOOL U YUNGSTA… GET READY FOR CLASS

Wilma Flintstone

tmo has ffc phones already jay so you may need a little schooling yourself. Also, you want to know one thing tmo phones can’t do, tmo phones can’t have the other carriers logo on them. :P Haaa! other than that, thats about it. I know I’ll use the ffc whenever they decide to bring out a phone that I like that has it. I been wanting a ffc since the Nokia N95.
Wilma Flintstone

oh, they can’t use 4g (but tmo has HSPA+ so…). Tmo phones can’t use CDMA either. :P Haaa!
jay

TMO USA DOES NOT HAVE A FRONT FACING CAMERA… NOW GO SIT DOWN AT UR DESK WHILE THE TEACHER TEACHES
Wilma Flintstone

HAAAA!!! you, my teacher? Haaaaa!!! Now that IS funny. You need to look at the Nokia E73 which is being sold at ALL TmoUS retailers. That phone has a FFC. Then you can buy a Nokia n900 that works with TmoUS that has a Ffc. Please don’t come at me unprepared because you will get squashed like you just did. K thanks Teach. Haaa! Looks like the student has overcome the teacher. :)
sorandkairi

@ Wilma no front facing cameras at all for T-Mobile USA! Not a single one!

Nokia E73 nor is the Nokia N900 sold buy Tmobile USA. In that cause….. the Iphone is FFC “sold” by Tmobile USA! Go ahead, go back to school!

http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/?WT.ac=0934HOM21
Wilma Flintstone

Sorry you feel that way sora but I just called up to my local Tmo Retailer and asked them if they had the E73 for clarification and they do in fact sell the E73 so yeah…
john

I’m amazed, the E73 isn’t sold by tmo, but the tmo store by my house said they have 5 in stock…hmm, that’s odd
Wilma Flintstone

isn’t it though John? Very odd indeed. Hmmm…
sorandkairi

Sorry, i guess you were right about the E73, so i stand corrected BUT, you are still DEAD wrong about the N900 so, lets just call it even! BACK TO SCHOOL WE GO….
Wilma Flintstone

@Sora
HAAA!!!
sorandkairi

@wilma

HAAA? You’re still wrong…. HAAA!!?? FAIL!!

wtf!?
sorandkairi

@ Wilma

I stand corrected again…. I reread what you wrote and I thought that you said that the N900 was available to TmoUS subscribers as well…. SO HAAAA …..here’s your apple teach :) ….walks off with egg oh his face…..LOL. Nonetheless, no one cares enough to remember the N73, lol!

Relikk2

This is the funniest argument ever! Wow, you are arguing about an old phone having FFC. Multiple (yes, multiple) people were willing to research at length of actually calling T-mobile to prove their point. I don’t know about you guys but now I can sleep soundly knowing that T-mobile does have a phone with an FFC. LOL!!! We all need to get lives, including myself!!! Seriously, I just wasted 5 minutes typing this.

some ppl are retarded.

… i agree with relikk2… but for the record T-Mobile DOES NOT have a phone that is out right now with a front facing camera. Phail.
sorandkairi

yeah… but i dont think anyone actually called tmobile… at least i hope not!

ps

Am I the only one excited about this phone? Its like the nexus but with ffc and presumably better hardware. And i can get it subsidized with my current plan. Haters

Dan

I’m ready for this too..I just have to wait till Dec.
heydrew

And it has LED flash unlike the Vibrant, which is nice if only for flashlight use. If this has 3.7″ to 4″ screen I am all over it!

Jon

The MyTouch3G slide didn’t have the T-Mobile branding on the outside either. This doesn’t shock me.
Dan

Looks like a big Nexus One….
jay

I WISH EVERYONE WOULD SHUT UP COMPLAINING… IF U DONT LIKE THE PHONE DONT BUY IT OR UPGRADE TO IT… ITS JUST THAT SIMPLE… NO ONE REALLY CARES OF “YOU” THINK THE PHONE IS UGLY OR LOOKS LIKE A KNOCKOFF… OR WHATEVA SOME OF U SIMPLE MINDED COMMENTS HAVE TO SAY… IF U LIKE THE EVO GO TO SPRINT, LIKE THE IPHONE GO TO AT&T… FACT IS ITS JUST A PIC… NO ONE KNOWS THE SPECS ON THIS DEVICE OR ANYTHING FOR ALL U PEONS KNOW IT COULD VERY WELL BE A 4″TOUCHSCREEN MODEL… HENCE THE HD TAGGED ON IT… SO FOR EVERYONE WHINING ABOUT THE PHONE… SUCK IT UP AND GO SPEND UR MONEY ON SOMETHING U WANT AND SHUT UP WITH ALL THE CRYING

Wilma Flintstone

um, jay, HD doesn’t automatically mean 4+ inch screen. Please stop yelling until you know what you are talking about. :)

jay

I ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT IM TALKING BOUT… and i clearly said… could very well be… which means it may be or it may not be… SO SHUT YA FACE
Wilma Flintstone

You’re making yourself sound unintelligent by yelling and trying to be correct because you have no evidence to back up your claims. Yeah you said “could very well be” but then you added “hence the HD” meaning that you think that “HD” coincides with 4inch screen. Instead of yelling, you need to take your caps lock off and think before you type. You have to remember, you’re in a cell phone forum meaning alot of techies reside here meaning most likely that you aren’t the only smart one here and most likely that someone knows more than you do in some area. So stop yelling “son” and tudn off your caps lock. Normally that will get you modded on a forum.

Jay, dude, stop watching Jersey Shore.

First of all, any Android Tmo phone actually on Tmo is going to kill an unlocked iPhone. 3g>Edge and Android>Apple anyday. I havent really seen iPhones having stellar battery life either. Also, the MyTouch line of phones has been really successful for Tmo so I could see why they keep up the branding. Personally, who gives a crap what the phone looks like? Do you buy a phone to show off or to use? That being said, we don’t even know that this render is real yet. It could be the G1 blaze on the mystery site.

Being elitist > being a whiner?

alex32

in my opinion this would be the first hspa phone coming out to tmobile for september. It is all making sense. Tmobile is going to stick with the mytouch franchise because that is that they are known for so this would be it. A “revolution”.. that would be the mytouch in HD. With a bigger screen and hspa+. Think about it guys. Correct me if I am wrong but I think tmobile is bringing out two htc android phones by the end of the year. this would be one of them making the first hspa+ coming out. The second would be “project emerald” which in my opinion is that G1 Blaze/Vanguard spotted like 2 days ago coming out in November. There are people who have reportedly messed with the phone and said it had an 800mhz processor. Remember the rumored dual cores? This most likely is it.
Just analyze everything guys, it is all making sense. I believe we already got the special scoop with the two super phones coming out in September and November. Now its just a waiting game once things get cleared out.

i hope this is the phone coming out in november though, i want the g1 blaze to come out september but i am almost sure thats the novemeber phone. im sick of my curve.
Rpinazo

Nobody is giving this phone a chance without the specs being available. Just chill out and wait before judging. Lets see whats under the hood. I happen to like the nexus like design.
Rachel

HTC Vision should have MSM8260 (single core [up to 1.3] & HSPA+)
HTC Emerald should have QSD8672 (dual core [up to 1.5] & HSPA+)

Relikk2

Wow, still slower GPU then the Vibrant. Not that it matters because you probably won’t see a game that takes advatage of either GPU.
Rilesman

So what chip do you think it will be?

1) MSM8260
2) QSD8672
3) some other chip with a separate HSPA+ radio?

I personally hope that it is the QSD8672

jJonny

Just note that MSM8260 is a ****DUAL**** core chip. Not single.
jJonny

There ****NEVER WAS A “G1″****.

J1

This phone looks kinda sexy if you ask me.. looks like my touch and the psp had a baby lol..

The preliminary purported specs on this device look promising as well.. pos 3rd gen snapdragon, ffc, 5mp camera w/flash pos even xexon, a dedicated camera shutter button, hspa+, and pos froyo .. I just need confirmation on the screen size and quality (b/c 4in w Samoled is a great combo).. but I’ll take something comprable(3.7-4in w Slcd)

This device is being met with a lot of hostility, the majority of which is coming from Vibrant owners.. you guys and gals are getting really defensive for some reason.. the Vibrant is a great, great, device, I say that from personal experience.. all I ask is that you give those of us who are still on the fence a chance to choose a device that caters to our respective needs..

I for one hope this does come to fruition, either way it’ll be this or the Vibrant to hold me over til nov.. go tmo go!!!

NolaDude

Wow, someone who hasn’t had too much coffee this morning, nice post. I am personally excited about this phone, i think the pics look cool enough, and if the specs are good when we actually KNOW what they are going to be, I think this could finally be the phone for me. I couldn’t wait anymore since my old phone died, so I had to buy a Slide, which works great, just HATE slide out qwerty’s….lookin forward to selling it and using my remaining upgrade :) I’ve been patiently waiting since January for something decent to come out.

J1

Thanks dude.. I’m anxiously anticipating the specs as well, leaked or confirmed.. but this handset def has my attn.. props to Magenta for giving us options..

RonnyHerts

The Blaze rumors have the device launching around September.

alex32

i hope so, because thats the phone i am waiting to get. my contract is up and my curve is dead..so i am desperate for a new android qwerty phone

jay

the phone looks fine to me… but as i stated before the solution is simple… DONT LIKE IT DONT BUY IT… POINT BLANK PERIOD…

jay

REFER TO MY PREVIOUS POST FOR FURTHER WORDS TOWARDS THE “DEBBIE DOWNERS” OF THE FORUM

Barry

Jay is spot on
Barry

Why does the same avatar have like 5 different names…do you have an identity crisis going on or something? lmao

jay

lol i just noticed that to… they all do have the same avatars and all posted one after another… kinda strange… maybe its a split personality… and they all wanted to post on the forum

Lard

you are all dumb! this is going to be iphone
cwalker

I dont know what y’all are whining about. But this is one nice looking phone. I starting to think that no matter what phone they bring out u going to have these groups of crybabies. That screen look bigger then 3.7, it look like it has flash on the back and maybe a FCC on the front. And maybe a hard keyboard now tell me what’s are some of y’all bitching for? The funny part is, the one’s that’s crying are the one’s that hate their current phone lol real talk. Anyway I luv my vibrant but might this one too. It all depends if it a hspa+ phone. Peace out bitches
Nathan

You guys are all nuts! Different folks have different tastes and no phone will please everybody… and from the looks of things here, no phone will ever please anybody.

Look, folks like you and me always want want’s next. We always want something better than exists. We don’t want state of the art, we want bleeding-edge and bleeding-edge does not work in large scale consumer electronics. Large scale consumer electronics is the only place you’re going to find this kind of technology at the prices we want to pay (less than $200). So stop being so sad that we don’t get tomorrows phone today for next years prices.

Tonight when you sit down and goof around with your phone, just appreciate the fact that you can listen to music, watch movies, browse the web, shop on amazon, play games, make calls, take pictures, shoot videos, check your calendar, read your email, send text messages, check the weather, read the news, etc… and all this while connected to air! Just enjoy your phone and have fun. :-)

Don’t stop asking for and expecting more… but for crying out loud, stop complaining. It’s a good time to be a geek.

Rilesman

Spot on. I remember waiting years for a PDA/Phone device…and only having 1-2 choices (thank you HTC for keeping the dream alive). Now we are watching smartphones jockeying for position rather than flip phones or even candy bars.

I think this is great to have more choices, better capabilities, and all from a single device. Let the technology upgrades keep rolling in.

Barry

Lmao I think you’re right that’s hilarious
alex32

i have a question, will this phone have the same vanilla OS as the mytouch slide?
i have messed with it with my friend’s phone and i hated it.
i am not getting this phone anyway since its all touch screen and i am waiting for the g1 blaze.
i am not going to lie this phone does look nice though

jay

im pretty sure this mytouch will run the sense ui that the 3gslide uses since the og mytouch is supposed to be getting an update to the sense ui

alex32

i see, well i hope this comes out in november..and the g1 blaze in september..just a couple more days to find out

Barry

it wouldn’t be so bad if it was just different names for guys but there’s girl’s names in there also lmfao
alex

Good god,some people always complains about something,its tmobiles step to good super phones and you are still complaining idk about you but i love the mytouch series,and will def. pick up this phone in white if its real
Rocking a slide in white and digging it
Barry

ok back on topic. as much as I wanna like this phone and hoping its at least 4″ I’m starting to thinks its a fake :-(
JP

Did anyone notice on the HSPA+ post regarding the theoretical speeds?

“Device has a theoretical peak capability of 14.4 Mbps”

I thought it was suppose to be 21 Mbps
PECOY

THE UGLY “EXPRESSO SENSE” UI IS GOING TO BE THE DOWNFALL OF THIS DEVICE.IF THIS IN FACT GET RELEASED I HOPE IT CAN BE ROOTED RIGHT AWAY AND FLASH A VANILLA ROM. WHY CANT WE JUST GET A NICE EVO/DROIDX/EPIC COMPARABLE SPEC PHONE WITH THE LATEST VANILLA ANDROID AND SUBSIDIZED IT AND CALL IT A DAY? CMON TMO MAKE IT HAPPEN. I WANTED THE NEXUS ONE BUT I GOT SCREWED BECAUSE OF MY FAMILY PLAN.
James

Why is everyone complaining so much? I’m not going to make any judgments or decisions until I see confirmed specs.
alex

really slim means no keyboard :)

I know a lot of people on here just love to hate things, but personally if its real or not. I love the form factor. If it comes with the right spec’s I will be waiting to use my upgrade on this.

I already held out on the Vibrant, but I might still get that. Personally that phone is awesome, with the Super AMOLED, and the Hummingbird…its pretty freakin sweet.

Also, I have been looking at this website since well before the G1 came out and I have never quite understood the rivalries between all the carriers. I can’t imagine everyone on here bashing eachother because you benefit in one way or another. Honestly we all know the superior phones, but that could all change by Christmas, so whats the point. If you really change carries because they don’t have the right phone, you might have a problem with narcissism, but hey I’m no shrink.

O please. Listen.. This phone is going to suck big time! I have been with Tmob for over 8 years and I can not say anymore “their phones suck!”

Olney, MD…what’s up! Finally getting over 1.5 Mbps. So many options to choose from. It’s a great time to be a phone geek.

That was unusually cheery-ish for you, are you back on your meds? Jk. This one will be for the wife, I will probably wait for december timeline for my phone.

Does anyone know if Samsung will allow other manufactures to use the Super AMOLED or will that be exclusive to them? Also the night mode on the Vibrant is better than any other phone I have ever seen flash or not…will HTC be able to create something that great?

Nathan

I’m quite fond of my Vibrant. Yes, Samsung will allow other manufactures to use Super AMOLED. The problem right now is production. They are having a difficult time making enough for themselves, so they won’t be sharing right now. Once they get the production figured out though, look for awesome screens everywhere. :-)

CUrb

Thanks. I hope this happens soon, but working for a company that has just introduced a new technology and is also having production issues (not able to produce fast enogh for the demand) I understand that this may take a while. But hell who knows…it might be on the next great phone HTC releases.

I think i read somewhere that Samsung cant produce enouch SAMOLED displays to sale them to other parties.

Really? Mytouch-iphone . They look nor sound anything alike! You and the hideous watbetch are thinking about this “rendering” WAY to much. Both of you, lay off the crack.

The back rendering shows the camera button on the left side of the picture. The bump on the right side could be a hdmi output. Mytouch HD… would make sense. Haven’t read the other comments. Has someone else put this together?

Best looking phone still made is the Nexus One. Just very happy I have one to use on T-Mobile’s super fast network. The Nexus has looks, speed and the quality of the build is 2nd to none. Other manufacturers could learn by studying the build of the Nexus. All other phones I have had or used have not nearly felt of looked better then the Nexus. If you are an owner like me you know just what I am talking about. Thank you Nexus and T-Mobile. I will always own my Nexus and hopefully the new HSPA device is worth buying.

Yawn, boring, whats next? It has a slow snapdragon, the slowest 1ghz cpu out, smaller 3.7 boring old LCD. Vibrant is still better, they should have just put HSPA+ on the vibrant.

Hmmm. … so much whining … I could see if this device was the equivalent of a moto cliq or something but it’s Not. Anyway does anyone notice how large the camera cover is? I think this phones camera will be well over 5mp.. maybe 8-12… I can’t wait until full specs leak even though I assume they will be in line with the single-core 3rd Gen snapdragon.

Is it me, or is this new image just the left hand side of the original image. Looking at it closely, you see something in the lower right hand corner. Could someone put the two together so we can see it all in one image?

Does that look like a flash next to the camera lens?
