Looks like these are going to be at a Sprint store near you before the 09-10 football season is over . . . hopefully.

That Firestone looks pretty nice. But, like most devices, I just need to see it – at least a picture. We’ll see.

cell phone flashes suck because a real flash uses so much battery.. the only use for a cell flash is a flash light.. i would rather have a flash too but im not sure about payin extra for somthing that would only help a few pics every couple months..

Why would you release a 5 megapixel or 8 mega pixel camera phone with NO Flash, how stupid are HTC.

Answer : Very Stupid or they think we are, come on HTC pull your finger out.

@Jon: The second processor is likely a graphics chip. A few phones out there have two graphics chips(Touch Diamond, Nokia N95 & N82, to name a few)

It’s good to see T-Mo finally bringing a new WinMo Pro phone to their lineup [since the Wing was a disgrace] as well as a successor to the Dash.

“Thor (aka Athena 2):

Qualcomm 8250 at 1GHz”

WTF

THAT seems to be the beastly one of the bunch.

@Brian D. If you followed the read link on the bottom it says:
“Good news for T-Mobile USA subscribers is that, besides the Maple which is heading their way in May 2009, they are also getting the HTC Touch Pro, code-named Rhodium, around the same time.”

so you guys over at t-mo are gonna get the touch pro 2

I’m sick of my tilt and want to upgrade (either fuze or bold) and dont want to wait so long for a device. Knowing my luck the rhodium will be released earlier then expected if i do wast my upgrade. Oh well, i’m used to paying unsubsidized prices for my devices (paid over $900 for my Hermes)

Why does the Twin have two processors? What is the purpose of it?

It’s great to see HTC bringing better technology to the table. I can’t wait to see if anything… ANYTHING comes to T-mobile. I hate the Wing.

@boogalooboy –

I don’t work for a carrier. I just want more of an option when it comes to an Android phone. Also, if I was running a business, I would want people to spend more money with my company. I dont think having people sign up for a data package is a con at all, it is voluntary. Im sure there are plenty of poeple that want a phone like the iPhone but dont want to change their carrier for whatever reason. All I’m saying is more Android phones would do everyone some good. The customers would have more options and the carriers would have more opportunity to make more money. It really could be a win win situation.

I think the creative department over at HTC are also Gnome Mages (World of Warcraft).

@Doug, do you work for a carrier? Why the concern about them being able to con, sorry get people onto their data plans, you on commission or something?

Firestone certainly looks like a beast on paper, but I will have to wait and see how WM6.5 plays out.

Fuze looks great on paper, but, imho, plays out worse in reality than it’s previous incarnation (the tilt).

I’m rooting from something great from MS.

where are the Android phones????? WinMo is not user friendly for the average mobile phone user. Carriers need more user friendly smartphones phones in order to get people into data plans. Why do you think the iPhone is sp popular. Put a normal iPhone out there next to an iPhone with WinMo(if it could be done) and see what most people choose.

Same old QVGA screen on the Maple otherwise it’s a good WM standard phone.

I’m waiting for the tungsten (touch pro 2?), but it’s kinda lame that all of the carriers are ganna be getting it to. Eh.

Thor and Firestone would be cool.
