So in a post over at HF a couple of weeks ago bill23 said:
"The closest pic on the web is the gsm unit showing the mini hdmi/micro usb port. And the bump out on the back is going the opposite way. Thats the best i can tell you at this time"
Does anyone know what phone he is referring to? At first I assumed he meant the Motorola Motoroi shown here but the "bump" on the Motoroi is off the side and not the back.
I may be missing something but I was surprised it wasn't addressed more cause I for one am VERY curious as to what this phone really does look like.
So it appears these newest pictures are accurate, according to what Bill is saying. I am confused about what he means by the bump "going the opposite way." Maybe they've managed to eliminate it and create a flat back? Or maybe its on the bottom now? Those are the 2 best ideas I can think of. I am really looking forward to this phone, though. I'd much rather have Sense (or even stock Android) than Blur, but apparently you can turn it off so I will be happy with that. Unless it has a much newer, cooler version.
Something I hadn't considered before is the new chip it uses is 45nm. So it uses less energy.
found some more pics if you want to add it to the first post. I also brightened them up a little, they were so dark.
Do you have any intention of posting your latest find in the HF Forums, there seems to be a bigger following to this phone over there. May even get some new confirmations from bill23 and Winston.
The following here is kind of small and the HF Forum is a little slow, are you aware of any other active or informative forums regarding this phone?
not sure about any other forums activity with the phone, but i'll go post these pics over there now... see if you can guess who I am on that forum.
people keep thinking that picture of the droid 2 is the shadow
but it aintttt
Uh oh... I found my next phone in the "gotta be something bigger and better on the horizon" loop, now following this as well as the Incredible. D'OH!
I got the impression it was actually quicker and more efficient than the Snapdragon too.
I wish this phone was receiving as much attention as some others. I was set on the HTC Incredible up until a couple of days ago. Now at the very least if I DID get the incredible it would be more of a stepping stone to the inevitable purchase of the shadow. I just hope it doesn't get delayed like the Incredible seems to have been. June would be PERFECT

Ah, after going back and reading those posts i see now that he was talking about the droid2, good catch. His posts were ridiculous to read, I felt like i had to decode half the stuff he said. Anyways, I suppose June is possible - do you guys think that the shadow would "replace" the droid, or that they would still offer the droid til the droid2 came out? (I ask because if the droid goes EOL, there's a much lower chance of it getting android updates)
and if it is the omap 3640, then it will be 1ghz too
I believe bill already said 3630. Don't get caught up in numbers you probably won't notice the difference between 700-800mhz and 1ghz, except in the battery.
Yeah, I know, but I'm a firm believer that I'd rather have too much power than too little. Hence why I overclock my computer (and have actually partially fried my CPU >_< lol)
