According to the specs it doesnt have the TMobile 1700 band, so would be AT&T only (it’s GSM).

carrier? 3G?

or to put it another way…

T-mobile? (somehow I doubt it).

I wanted the Dream/G1, but would hold out for this if it was coming to T-mo.

SPRINT HTC TOUCH DOESN’T HAVE WIFI, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN???

I really like HTC Touch HD and WM. I used to love Palm OS but all the phones are heavy, bulky and non-innovation. So I switch to WM 6.1 and I could not be happier. I know WM is not perfect but I love how WM has a lot of free apps and pay apps. Also, a lot of companies are supporting WM OS like Yahoo Go (you can get Myspace app on this Yahoo Go), Opera Mini, Opera Mobile 9.5, Netfront web browser, Iris web browser, Facebook app, Java app (Jbed), Skyfire web browser, Live search, BeeJiveIM, AIM, Kinoma, etc…I could not get most of those apps on Palm OS, so I gave up and move on to WM 6.1. I dont like WM 6.0 but I like 6.1 cause its more stable, HTML email, threaded messaging, easier to use, copy/paste, etc…
WM OS is better on multitasking, I can have a lot of apps run at the same time which is better than iPhone and Palm OS in IMO

I just can’t help but notice the similarity between this handset and the “reference” one included with the Android Emulator.

Yes, it supports WiFi. And who cares about internal memory. It supports up to 32 GB MicroSDHD.

I am glad that it runs on WM 6.1 which is solid and well proven. Naturally I expect it can be upgraded (re-flashed) to WM7 which in due course.

8gb microsdhc cards are less than $25 on Amazon. Very cheap. Unfortunately no 16gb cards yet.

Also, the sites that have the new specs say it has Wireless LAN a/k/a wifi.

It will probably have WiFi. It’s not very likely that HTC would release a device that doesn’t have it. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of a single device (outside of some weird s620 variant) they have released that doesn’t have it.

I have been reluctant on replacing my Kaiser for the TouchPro but this I can jump on. If only they could come out with an on-screen keyboard that is usable on it. The one on the Raphael and Diamond isn’t nearly as good as PCM Keyboard (which is currently free).

Also, this thing will *PROBABLY* be upgradeable to WinMo 7 (legitimately) and also through the fine folks at XDA (illegitimately).

Hmm last time I checked, HD meant High Definition which is very often confused with HDD or in other words Hard Disk Drive. This does not need one, it would destroy the battery, and although I know flash has gotten larger and larger these days, I would honestly prefer to have all of my storage on a memory card. 8GB MicroSD will be 40 dollars in a year, then 16GB will take its place, then 32. That’s the best way to go honestly.

This is almost my dream machine right here. I still like WinMo (would have liked to see 7 instead of 6.1), and have no use for wifi.

The only way this could be even more is to have a slide out keyboard. I could put up with a few extra millimeters for a QWERTY.

You in luck then:

Just curious about the “holiday” timeline.

Seems like we have been hearing about the Diamond and Raphael FOREVER.

Is it really plausible to get a release a mere 3 months after the first “spy photos” are released?

The reason they don’t build a perfect phone is because they want to force you to upgrade every time they have a new phone out. If they built the perfect phone, people would buy it and then not upgrade for years.

Why can’t any of these phones have it all… it seems like to purposely leave out one or more key components (wifi, camera with flash, copy/paste… just to name a few)

Plus… it still has windows mobile

Can someone confirm if there is no Wifi on this? If so its a deal breaker.

Also any chance this could be the rumored second Android device? I know a WM version is coming out but could Android version be possible? I would rather have a carrier certified version of android on this thing then a community hacked one.

512mb of memory? C’mon. This is 2008, not 1998. No flash? This phone as some serious potential, but why do companies feel the need to do amazing things with one part but completely blow on the next? I have an N95-4. Great phone but slow USB? It took 4 hours to load 7gb worth of music on there. Before I get chewed out, I do realize this was just leaked so things could change and I really hope so. If this is to be an “HD” cell phone, it better have the capacity to hold the content. That’s like bringing a knife to a gun show. But that’s just me, I could be wrong…
