This is the best that I have seen , and finally they understand why people like the iphone --it's got a big screen; just hope that has video camera for video call - this is a must for me and I did not see it in the picures
About 5 mpx camera or flash I don't care because i will probably newer use it for photography; I use a Canon 5D for photography

A nice phone size for touch screen. But X1 is coming soon ...and I am going to buy it..and Poor HTC... no match in design.

Usual HTC
- no 3.5 mm head phone jack
- funny look as always (never professional like X1. lol..)
- still need to put large storage like (Samsung Omnia)
- 5 mega camera.. but the quality will be useless as always (don't you know flash is useful to take photo at night?)

Everything else perfect... I still need to wait the screen's performance though...

EXCELENT! This is the one! I can tell some people are triyng to find something wrong about it, but this is the one I was waiting for a LONG time. Cheers HTC! I particularly love the screen size. (and I thogth that 3.5 would be the rigth one) 4´ in a phone with the average size of a 2.8 screen is GOOOOOOD.

the screen is really really sick..

64k colors.. Damn i hate windows mobile for that. When watching videos, 16M colors makes a huge difference man.

I reckon they should make a version of this with 16M colors that runs on the new android.............

Also 4" is way too big. A 4" phone will be mega tanky.

The screen is so big even if you was strictly to use windows mobile interface it would be finger friendly. lol

Wow 4" WVGA resolution!! Almost the same size screen as the Nokia n800/n810 internet tablet.

I can see this device giving a fantastic web browsing experience.

No one cares much about the iPodPhone except in the US. This will be much better... No one wants to be restricted what you can and can't do and be a Steve Jobs slave who tells you what you should being doing on your device.

It's really funny that no matter how hard they try to pack their phones with features, they still brand their phones as the next iphone killer, LOL. The iphone is not even trying to fight back, LOL. I'm not convinced with this one either. I bet you, the UI of this one would be as sluggish, as unresponsive, and as frustrating as that of the Diamond's. Oh well.

Personally, I think it looks brilliant... IMO they should wait for Windows Mobile 7...

Then Apple will have some serious catching up to do..
