Weak.. this phone, despite it's magnificent promo... is.. at the end of the day... weak.. in comparison to what we already have on the market...

It's better than Xperia by its design and features. HTC well processes with its 3D interface. Fast speed touch (very reflexive). But it should build up with 2 gsm sim slots and/or a memory card slot and it should also be thinner.

Can anyone answer this question???

If T-Mobile is getting this unit re-labelled as something else, would the unit not be quad band??? am I an idiot or do you need GSM 850Mhz for the best coverage in North America?

why would any one need a slot for flash cards?? this phone is real and you can check it on htc.com also. this is going to be the best windows mobile.

in all honesty, 4gb memory cards are usually the max capability of phones nowadays anyway. disadvantages would be no hot swapping and slow down when almost full, but capacity itself wouldn't be a problem for larger number of users. my other opinions on it: hate the tacky back design; decent cam specs but any sort of flash would eliminate any gripes; and, imho, overall design doesn't have as much mass-appeal as the original htc touch...despite this, it's an incredible phone I hope to be able to afford one day...T_T

It is shaped like an mp3 player. Like a Zune or an iPod with a smaller scroll wheel. Looks cool. Makes every past HTC phone look prehistoric or a brick. I like the direction they are going with their UI. Still kinda lags though.

Is seems to be a quite expensive phone; in the netherlands you can pre-order it for 529,- euro's that's approximately 821,- american dollars...but it may worth it, it looks like a very good phone with great features. Only the battery and no additional memory is a pity.

Its gonna be a Tmobile exclusive. T-mobile is calling it MDA II or something. It looks okay. A little disappointed with HTC only announcing one device. I was hoping for more devices. The Touch Diamond looks up to par I guess. It is what we expect from HTC since they won the smartphone world over with the Touch and the Touch Cruise.

Will this suffer from the video-lag like the Kaiser/Tilt too? And will HTC promise to fix it month after month after month, until their next product cycle shifts attention away from it? o_O

Is this for real?! no flash card of any sort?! none!? only 4gb of flash memory, thats hardly enough for gps+video+music+apps

This mobile has anything except that one cruicial thing called flash card.
