also the Best Buy ad for 10.28, which is this weekend lists the Touch?! And lists it as wifi-capable?! LOL. I'm pretty sure it's a mistake, but it would be funny if Best Buy was selling a "special" wifi version of the phone.

Look at the attachment

It says that it has a flash/movie light in the Graphic capabilities section.
Right below it it says that it doesn't have a flash.
With all the conflicting info on it, I don't know what to believe....I suppose when someone gets their hands on one we'll all be able to seperate fact from fiction. I don't even think Sprint knows for sure...

Anyway...

Why does Sprint web site say it does not have Auto Focus?

Because it is a fixed-focus lens on the CCD camera. I'd bet the camera itself isn't much different than the one in the Mogul. I'd bet the camera software isn't going to be much different than the HTC camera we're all familiar with. Besides, this is Sprint we're talking about here...I'd trust the HTC website's info.

Still wish it had WiFi. I'm in a Sprint 1X area, 60+ miles from the nearest EVDO, so the WiFi comes in handy, since I don't have to wait forever and a day for a webpage to load.

HTC designed the device. I trust their site over Sprint's any day. Didn't Sprint's site say the Mogul had GPS and that's because everyone was up in arms?

Dont Sprint enginners get their dirty paws on it and alter alot of stuff? Of HTC does everything and Sprint just writes software for it?

**Pibe38** · #49 (**permalink**) 10-30-2007, 02:21 AM

I really don't know. I doubt Sprint does anything to the device except order the hardware/software from external developers, but that's just a guess.

Even if it were like you say, the device on the HTC site is already labeled as the Sprint Touch, so I'm pretty sure that if Sprint made any changes to the hardware, they would be reflected there.

Still, I doubt Sprint would change the hardware on a device... even less such a thing as the camera focus.

But it is all speculation so please don't quote me on anything or take it to heart. I could be wrong.

Specs on the incoming Sprint Vogue just two months back reported an internal NMEA GPS chip and WIFI. When Sprint rebrands they only add software components to the phone like Sprint TV, etc, but they deliberately take out certain hardware components. Sprint's not the only one, Verizon does it and it's a lot worse when they do it.
