It's not really a step backward. The 800mhz proccesor is faster and more efficient than the 1ghz on the evo. Just take a look at the benchmarks on youtube or google it. Also screen size being smaller is not a downgrade. The iphone and epic both have a smaller screen and they both are great phones. We'll see when it comes out. I myself will wait for the evo 2 which should have dual core and hopefully htc will start using gorilla glass and better resolution.

definitely worth checking out with that new processor.
screen size should be ok since you have a kb but it better be a high res amoled.

this could be the fastest cdma phone out for at least a little while

I was going to wait until this came out to get a replacement for my TP2, however after seeing the specs on this one, I will probably pass and just get the Evo.

I would like to see the final specifications on this phone before I would commit to it. I would also want to test out the camera and other feature in the store to see if this phone would be an upgrade. There is not much information out on this phone. I would also wait until they come out with a phone with the new HTC Sense UI. I would want TomTom maps because some day I have to drive to 20 to 30 different location and I need a map program that does not depend on the network and has a map itinerary.

Now I am starting to understand why HTC wants to start cracking down on the use of their ROMs basically if you could get a Samsung Epic with the HTC UI why would you buy an HTC phone. The Epic has the superior screen but I believe HTC is better when it come to their GPS technology.

But something is telling me I should suffer and wait until the summer time before I upgrade my cell phone. I personally think that this phone is a step forward because it has an 800 Mhz dual processor which does the work of a 1 Ghz processor with less strain on the phone's power resources.

Apple does a way better job at promoting their new cell phone than HTC. They tell you the specs months ahead of time and not wait until the day of the phone's release.

I don't think I will be hi resolution amoled. I remember reading some place that Samsung will restrict the amoled screens to only their devices for 2 years. I believe after 2 years Samsung will probably have something better anyways. I will have a screen something similar to the current Evo but only smaller.

they could always use slcd. if it has a regular lcd like evo I'll pass.

HTC has no technology..they don't make their own hardware..the GPS tech belongs to Qualcomm on built in GPSOne in the Snapdragon processors...As for the Epic, the GPS issue is Software based..not hardware...on froyo its fixed.

Its not a dual 800mhz.. just a 2nd generation snapdragon which is 45nm and has a 2x better GPU

I would think there would be some sort of solid update by now?
