Perhaps the equivalent of a baseball player such as Pedro Martinez, who played out out the final year of his contract, his performance is sub par, he plays every game, insisting his shoulder feels great...but doesn't want his suitors to know that he's wounded and may never deliver the goods ever again.

HTC Touch Pro 2 gets a new lease of Android life, loves it (video) -- Engadget

Sure it's off topic but if the HTC TP2 can get full 2.1 w/Sense by the time the Incredible drops.....how many of you would get the TP2 over the Incredible based on Keyboard? I would definitely consider it with 100% integration of 2.1 and Sense.

Ruben · 03-11-2010, 05:57 AM

That doesn't have sense UI. And to be honest, I would never go for a dual-booting phone that wasn't base Android. Did you see the lag? Dual-booting the iPone OS would be pretty neat to play the DRM content, but that's about it.

Wish I knew someone who worked there..

I lurk in the restaurants during lunch.. hoping to get glimpse.. overhear a tidbit... anything.. but nay.. you'd think I worked next to area 51!!!!

I've been lurking since this thread started... maybe one or two posts.. I wish I had something worthwhile to contribute ...but like many others I don't ...therefore I lurk.

This thread has taken off like no others I've seen.. And for ever regular poster... there are most likely 100 in the wings.. and it's the daily reading that keeps my emotions in check. I can honestly say.... if it wern't for this thread.. I would own a moto droid at this moment..

Whether thats good or bad at the moment remains to be seen.. In any case ... I'm doing SOMETHING by April My patience is wearing thin...

Or it could be they aren't really worried about the lawsuit right now as it is in its early stages. Like we have discussed before... If the Incredible is close (I'll be conservative, 1 - 2 months) before launching than the law suit probably won't effect it much. Upcoming phones, summer, fall, winter, possibly/more likely.

I'd think HTC would be like, "*hit we got hit with this bogus lawsuit, let's launch what we have planned in the immediate future, show Apple we aren't scared or worried, and make out with as much $$$ as possibly in case this bites us in the @ss."

Plus, HTC is selling to service providers right (most of their sales aren't selling cell phones directly to users <at least here in the USA anyway> right?)? So if the phone is close to launch wouldn't deals have been made and papers signed right now with VZW and HTC? VZW is gonna be like, "We want our phones on the date we agreed by."

If HTC just folds like a cheap suit and halts everything this minute then they LOOK guilty immediately. I think everyone mostly agrees (minus Apple) that these lawsuits are bull*hit and hopefully nothing will come of them. You know how long the court system takes in this country. It could be a month or more before things really start moving in the lawsuit (hopefully we will have the phone in our hands by that point).

And the last thing I am going to say, is the recent articles about handset makers going back to the drawing board, etc came from analysts... That isn't worth the *hit I dropped this morning before work. No offense. I don't disagree with their mindset, but their proof is always questionable. How many times have you read (I know I have) where an analysts says, "Oh I definitely expect this to happen. I am quite sure. Positive." Then nothing happens. Crap, they even give high % of somethings going to happen and it doesn't or it isn't even close. Then when asked why the crickets come out chirping and there is no answer. Next they change their prediction. Don't get me wrong, I like reading analysts columns and stories, it helps me form my own ideas and opinions, but analysts are like weather forecasters (only less accurate). They make predictions and sometimes they are right. Other times they are so far off it isn't even funny. That's just how it is. I may be VERY wrong (I have been in the past and will be in the future), but I don't think the lawsuit is going to effect this phone release.

Listen, here's how it is.. I know everyone on here wants the phone. I know everyone wants new 100% accurate information every day. I know everyone wants this phone to be God's gift to cell phones, but to be honest. We probably aren't going to know until CTIA at the earliest. Let's all just wait until CTIA and see what happens. That doesn't mean stop trying to dig up information and post your thoughts. By all means do so. I need something to read everyday,

but don't get worried or down if we don't hear anything before then or get new information everyday. If CTIA comes and nothing is announced or shown or talked about then let's start figuring out why.

Sounds like Motorola might not be making the Nexus 2 if the are going with Bing on their Android devices. Maybe this phone from HTC is INCREDIBLE and Microsoft and HTC are no longer in bed together.

So shoot me for misrepresenting what NKT actually claimed. Hard to keep score when you have over 90 pages of shit to keep track of. Unlike some here, however, I never took umbrage to his claims when he originally professed he would have access to the Incredible, as given the number of "imposters" we've had come in and out of this forum claiming to know or have seen this and that about the incredible, I don't fault anyone for being skeptical.

Let's face it, we don't know NKT from Adam, or any other poster, for that matter (myself included), which is why I'm not going to put faith in or judge what someone in a forum has to say without overwhelming cicumstantial or hard evidence to support their claims.

Is it merely coincidence that T-Mobile is literally rushing the HTC HD2 to market all of a sudden with Windows Mobile 6.5 on it, when it won't even be upgradable to Win Phone 7, which is really the O.S. most users are going to want? I suspect this may be a knee-jerk reaction on their part to have something "new" to talk about in their phone line in lieu of scrapping the HTC Android phones they had hoped bring to market prior to or shortly after CTIA.

I may be wrong and hope that I am, but there's just a lot of weird unexplainable shit happening since the Apple lawsuit filing.

Actually it's more like they have been sitting on their thumbs with the HD2. It's been out in Europe since last year.

No guns!

Stop the violence haha

And it isn't a big deal man, I am willing to bet most people on here dismiss 97% of what I say lol. You're totally allowed to have that view. No biggie!

Plus, if you read whats out there, it's been said Apple was bullying these companies months (up to a year) before the lawsuit so I am sure HTC had an idea this could happen. You can't just stop what you're doing though. And you can't just look like a little *itch and give-in to the big bad bully. You just stand up, kick them in the nuts, and do your thing.

Maybe the whole rushing to get the HD2 out now isn't rushing and they had it planned this way. Maybe they want to compete with some handset a few people are talking about on Android Forums coming out for VZW soon...

Think about it, when VZW announces the Incredible it is possibly going to be similar to what TMO is doing with the HD2. Similar, in respect that it is gonna start blowin' up the web and PR releases, ads, etc. It might look the same way, like VZW is rushing to get the phone out, but they probably want that. Annouce the phone, have 1-2 weeks of craziness hyping the phone up, and then boom release it.

Here is part of an article from Oct 28, 2009.

The link for the article. Just sounds like things are drifting for HTC and Microsoft or Apple told Moto to go with Bing and we won't sue you. But who would think that. Maybe Apple is trying to get them all to fight.

Thanks and yeah I wouldn't doubt that. I think there is always deals, and *hit like that going on between the companies. Gotta make that $$

Kappy · 03-11-2010, 07:52 AM

NKT, that sent to you, or did you hold/check out the phone? Any updates?

Looks like the back stayed with the same design but in black now. The mic on the backed has moved over a little bit to the right. The would explain the FCC label having that lip going to that.

Lighter than the N1 and Droid. In order of weight from heavy to light: Moto, N1, Incredi.

EFFING AWESOME. N1 is 4.59 ounces, so this is under that (most likely). Thanks man. Any other goodies? I know the ram question is gonna come up like wild fire.

Android&Dom · 03-11-2010, 08:06 AM

This is amazing...is it soft touch like the N1 or does it have more of a plastic type feel like it seems to have in the red pics?

NKT · 03-11-2010, 08:07 AM

512 RAM w/320 available. Probably the same situation with the RAM as the N1.

Were you able to actually use the phone or only handle it? If you were able to use it did you try multitasking and pacing it a bit? If so how did it handle?

That picture of the back looks much more refined and sleeker than anything we've seen from the phone before. Thanks for the picture NKT!

NKT · 03-11-2010, 08:12 AM

Didn't get to pump the phone, but it should handle stuff just fine. The camera operation is fast.

It has the optical track, just like the other videos.
