Cell Phone Insiders
« on: February 16, 2010, 08:05:18 AM »
Is Sprint going to get the HTC Desire?  And, if so, when? I've been holding out for an elite phone and this one finally does/has everything I want/need.

HTC hasn't announced any North American availability.  Of the phones HTC announced today I hope that NA gets the Legend and the Mini the most.

that supersonic handset is going to be massively elite.  worth it even in 3G coverage areas.

Played with the Supersonic a couple weeks ago for a bit. Pretty nice. Amazing screen, and Snapdragon is fast as hell.

Did you try out the keyboard? I heard the HD2 keyboard was as good if not better than the iPhone. I'm hoping the Supersonic is the same because the keyboard on the Hero is a piece of crap. Too bad it looks like Palm might go belly up. WebOS truly has the most potential if they just came up with a form factor that was on par with these new phones and upgraded a few specs.

I did, can't remember any glaring impressions though, because I don't think the Hero's keyboard is bad. :dunno:

What about the Incredible for Verizon?  Sounds like its coming soon, and my Touch Pro is dying.

Be nice.  :)

Specs for Incredible look pretty decent, comparable to the Supersonic.    Not that I have a ton of HPIQ.

Incredible sounds pretty amazing but Supersonic sounds like it may be faster

Sprint Supersonic announced as "Evo 4G"

"...it's easily the best specced phone we've ever witnessed."

Just picked up the new HTC for TMobile.  :pbj: Still playing with it, but it is pretty damn impressive so far.

Much faster than my old BB.  Camera/vid is amazing compared to BB, as is screen and resolution. 
 :excited:so far.

You do know HTC and BB make more than one style of phone, right?
