Re: 2009 HTC OEM Products
Definitely interested in seeing how the Tungsten turns out. Definitely would be nice to have 800 X 400 res but the Storm and iphone have like 480 X 320 and still looks really good. If we could even get 640 X 480 like the Touch Pro, we are still a step ahead of the competition.
I am also a big fan of the sliding keyboard. anybody that does real texting/emailing on their phone should be. |

Re: 2009 HTC OEM Products
wow saw my last login for this site, Febuary 04, 2008.
almost a year. anyways, I'm thinking that the 'W' concerns CDMA in general it's just a codename, but then the Jasper C (For Sprint) throws me out entirely (WiMax Capable?). I was thinking 'ID' stands for Initial Device, meaning Sprint's flasgship phone this year? Or it could mean Industrial Design, so it could be a replacement design for the Tungsten W. Anyone notice the Sprint Logo on the Willow W? I think that's our Smartphone/MotoQ/T-mobileExcalibur version. Does anyone know if Topaz C is the next Diamond for Sprint? amazing year in PPC development for Sprint if they get all three devices out according to plan. With this and the Palm Pre and the rumored Samsung Android device, it should be killer. I'm hoping that Jasper C comes with Android, that would be great, I think the hint is in the build of the phone. |
Re: 2009 HTC OEM Products
would be nice if the topaz C was coming to sprint!!! I'm guessing that C stands for CDMA
|
Re: 2009 HTC OEM Products
W for Wi-Fi enabled?
|
Re: 2009 HTC OEM Products
When do you think we can expect to see one or two of these new models hitting Sprint in 2009? Would Feb-March be too optimistic?
|
Re: 2009 HTC OEM Products
W is probably for Japan markets W-CDMA I'd guess.

Re: 2009 HTC OEM Products
look like Topaz C (cdma) has the HD size. Tungsten is smaller and like the touch pro. they just remove the useless touch wheel.
I want the HD size which is Topaz |

Too bad they don't bring here HTC MAX 4G, it's only with GSM + WiMAX for RUSSIA. Looks really nice.

Re: 2009 HTC OEM Products

Re: 2009 HTC OEM Products
Per checked the friends in HTC Taiwan and China mainland, some of the phones were confirmed, some of them, they also don't know.
I guess the different phone will be produced in different factory. Anyway, we can see some of them are coming soon. |
Re: 2009 HTC OEM Products
Specs! What I want more than anything is a faster processor, followed by more system memory. A higher-rez screen would be nice if it was bigger overall - like edge to edge and as close to top to bottom as possible. And more programmable buttons than my Touch! I have a RedFly, so screen and keyboard aren't that big a deal (love the RedFly, BTW - I wish it could talk to my PC). Speed/memory and battery life are inversely correlated, I know, but I want both!
And yeah, I agree with a couple above posters that I'm not buying another WM6.0/1 phone, and I'm leery of a 6.5. Microsoft is so slow, and Verizon just compounds that with their extra 6-months+ delay rolling out new stuff. I bet it's 2010 before I see anything worth trading up for. Heh...almost a rant, in reverse, kinda. Some of these units look great, I just wish we knew more about the insides.... |
Re: 2009 HTC OEM Products
This looks like fun. I'd certainly be interested in a hardware upgrade, and a bigger (e.g. 3.5") screen would at the top of my list.
Its going to be a lot of fun to see the timing of this hardware along with newer versions of Windows mobile, and Windows 7. |
Re: 2009 HTC OEM Products
Those phones look killer...If they are coming for Sprint then I can't wait...I hope sooner than later...Maybe a phone with Android on it...LoL... :) ...Come on Sprint lets get it together...

Re: 2009 HTC OEM Products
Here's how I call it:
Topaz/Citrine = 2009 Touch Diamond (no wheel, all screen) Rhodium/Tungsten = 2009 Touch Pro (no wheel, all screen) Firestone/Whitestone = 2009 Touch HD Jasper = Sprint's 1st Android phone How do I know all this? Measuring the keyboards on the Rhodium/Tungsten means they are NOT the Touch HD Pro everyone has been waiting for. The screen is not big enough and the reduction in key quantity on the keyboard does not allow them to achieve the same dimensions as the Touch HD. Same goes for the Topaz/Citrine -- take a closer look. No flash on camera, same size screen and layout in faceplate keys at the R/T: this is clearly the nextgen Touch Diamond. The guys @ wmpoweruser are close but wrong. Finally, to prove that the Topaz/Citrine/Rhodiums/Tungstens are NOT the Touch HD, look at the Firestone/Whitestone models. Look at how their screens are larger, edge-to-edge. Also, did you know that the Touch HD's original model name was Blackstone? That says everything right there. As for the Jasper C, this is the one I find most curious. Think about it, if the R/T is the Touch Pro, what is the Jasper C? I say it's Sprint's model for Android. The Hero and Sapphire will be on TMO, AT&T etc. Also, the Jasper is presented in the same chronological grouping as those phones, so it only makes sense the Jasper is Sprint's Android phone. Look closely at the images and tell me what you think. |

I'd be willing to bet $50 that you're wrong. Sure, I agree that the Pre will not live to the hype, just like the Instinct, but I hope Sprint learned their lesson with the Instinct plan. They would have sold more without that required plan, and they know it now.. |

I'm not trying to break any hearts with this news, but I don't want anyone killing themselves if I happen to be right. If you need further convincing, checkout this sizeeasy comparison attachment for the Touch Diamond, Pro and HD. I can't imagine HTC building a Touch HD with a keyboard. You might as well carry a laptop in your pocket (and don't think I don't! :mrgreen:)
Having said that, a full-screen Touch Pro isn't a bad thing, but it's not a Touch HD. The resolution won't be as great. And frankly having a moderately larger screen is not enough of a reason to upgrade to this. I'm thinking the Whitestone will come to Sprint, and that possibly that kickstand is also an antenna of sorts. We should find out everything next month at 3GSM. |
Re: 2009 HTC OEM Products
So what would be a good upgrade from the Touch Pro if a bigger screen is not it?
|
Re: 2009 HTC OEM Products
Your options are the Rhodium/Tungsten, if you do want the larger screen and possibly better specs, i.e. proc and mem; or, the Firestone/Whitestone, if you want a 3.8-4" screen, 3.5" jack, better proc and mem. These will be on WinMo, most likely, at least 6.5, preferably 7, but I'm not holding my breath.
Again, nothing wrong with the Rhodium/Tungsten, but after owning the Mogul for 18 months I am so done with physical keyboards. Give me a larger screen, virtual input and shave off the thickness and I'm sold. Even if you do a lot of texting/emails, and I do, the slide-out kb is yesterday's method. Onscreen kb's have come a long way. The only benefit to the slide-out is a flash added to the camera, but so long as the camera quality w/o flash is decent, I'm fine. |
Re: 2009 HTC OEM Products
i just don't like the sharp corners of the Firestone. The rounded corners of the Rhodium is what I like
|
Re: 2009 HTC OEM Products
If these are to be released on 09, I don't see them coming with WM 7. Maybe WM 6.5, but I would say it is a pretty safre bet that there will not be a Verizon device running WM 7 until 2010. The WM 7 beta isn't even out yet (or 6.5 for that matter) and we know how slow they are with getting out devices once a new OS has been released.

Re: 2009 HTC OEM Products
I'll bet the Whitestone W is the US version, W stands for WiMax and that explains the antenna. Furthermore, unlike the Rhodium/Tungsten/Topaz etc, Firestone and Whitestone are not release names but production names, which means we are seeing in-development models. No doubt only Sprint would get the Whitestone (Sprint = WiMax in US), and that it will be redesigned prior to its release. Also curious, the Whitestone has five buttons at the bottom, or at least five icons.

Re: 2009 HTC OEM Products
Hi there,
New here, but I'm gonna risk it and dive right in (deep end and all :confused1:). I've seen other websites make mention of a 'Barium' model, which seems to be missing here. Here is one example: http://wmpoweruser.com/wp-content/up.../htcbarium.jpg Johnnycakes, don't those handsets all look WVGA :???:? |
