Actually. HD's battery is not bad. Prolly better than the Diamond's battery consumption

Yup, the testing showed that. I guess it's all about the APX now or whatever HTC bring along next. Maybe HTC's next phone will be based on the APX platform. That would rock!

All that to say though, since the HD isn't coming to the US ("we have no plans for a US 3G version of the HD at this time." - http://twitter.com/htc"), then the Diamond IS the premier phone on the US market right now. Hopefully something based on Tegra comes out ASAP! ("The first NVIDIA Tegra APX-based devices are expected to begin shipping in late 2008." - http://www.nvidia.com/object/apx_2500.html)

That's it!! I will not buying another phone until a WM HD like phone is released in the US. I don't have the money to keep buying phones that are incremental improvements on the previous one. I'm staying with my Sprint Touch.

Same here. My next phone will be one with a screen the approximate size of the HD with at least the specs of my Touch or I won't buy a new phone until my Touch breaks.

i got this from the net. It's an opinion on a conspiracy theory on why the Touch HD is not coming to U.S.
remember guys, This is not the official reason. Just a theory.

Now that the news of the HTC Touch HD not coming to US is sinking in, the next question is obviously why. Seeing how much interest this very desirable device has already generated, it seemed sure to be a hit in the market. Here are a few theories.

1) AT&T demanded that the HD stay out of USA, to prevent any competition with the iPhone 3G. In return they would carry the much delayed AT&T Fuze. This is supported by the absense of the HTC Touch Diamond on AT&T, indicating they do not welcome good competition to their favourite phone.

2) HTC did not want to draw attention from their new G1 android phone, and therefore decided not to release in USA.

3) HTC thinks the investment would be wasted, due to the local dominance of the iPhone in USA, unlike in Europe, where the seemed to have accelerated its release.

Here's mine, HD will kill a lot of sales of other phones especially those phones that a carrier like sprint,that spends a lot of money on investment for Diamond and touch pro. Just right now, a lot of us are willing to hold out on buying the diamond or Touch pro for this phone. It will be a huge loss for a carrier. We really don't know at this point. maybe they are just saying that it will not come to the U.S. so nobody will be holding back on buying the diamond and touch pro. It's a business strategy U know
So whatchu think guys?

I think suicide is the answer. Life will never be the same now. Guess it's the Diamond now. Woe is me.

So true. I p***** along the post 4 days ago in this thread when HTC said "HD isn't slated for america" but it didn't do much either. go figure.


Here's hoping the next HTC device for North America will be similar to the HD with:
+ camera shutter button
+ d-pad (or thumb stick / mini-track ball to save space)
+ flash
+ 1800 mAh battery
+ TV-out
+ and perhaps one extra hardware application button on the side

That would make this whole no-hd-for-us thing a non-issue for me

I don't think 1 is valid because Verizon or Sprint would have gotten it first anyway, like any major HTC phone other than the G1. I think 2 is the most likely. 3 iPhone is very dominant in Europe and Asia, so I think no on that too.

Your theory actually makes the most sense. They already have a bunch of major phones just released and bringing in another within 6 months that is WAY better would kill sales.
