Re: The HTC Supersonic

My problem with the Supersonic is... it's not enough.

Android+Snapdragon+4.3" display+WiMax all sounds good on paper, but considering it may not get released until Q3 or Q4 of this year, with the exception of WiMax, that is all last year's technology.

Of course no one is 100% certain which proc it's running on -- could be a Tegra 2, fingers crossed. But a 4.3" screen that's non-AMOLED? Couple that with WiMax and the battery won't last 3 hours even with low usage. Why are all of these companies making so much headway with all other aspects of the industry and no one has bothered to advance the art of the battery one bit?

I was really hoping Sprint might pick up the HTC Bravo/Incredible this Spring and then the Supersonic later on. Maybe they will, maybe not. But unless the Supersonic comes with some revolutionary battery, or an AMOLED screen, or a Tegra 2 proc which consumes 50% less power, the Supersonic won't be worth the wait.
