Anyone else looking forward to their next phone?

If so, which one?

I have had many PDA phones from HTC. I've probably had the Touch the longest out of all of them. I had the Diamond for a couple of months but returned it as the battery lasted only a fraction of the time that my touch did with the same settings. I currently am running build 6.5 23081 thanks to Vin and it is the best OS and build so far I've had on it but the phone is missing so many features I would like.

I'm on Sprint so my choices are limited but I'm hoping they are considering the HD2 as they have a poll on their web site to find out if people would like it - http://community.sprint.com/baw/poll.jspa?poll=1040

I want the faster processor
I want the bigger screen
I want the flash (as I use vjcandela and other programs to use the phone as a flashlight)
I want the higher resolution
I want the new touch screen
I want the HD2

I'd actually be happy to get the Whitestone but the HD2 looks really cool ! I am just thinking about the size of the whole device. I really don't want a phone that is so big that it is like carrying around an appointment book or a tablet pc. I like the convenient size of the Vogue but I would def like a little bigger higher resolution glass screen, faster processor, maybe Wifi, and a headphone output. We shall see!

I was considering going with the Touch Pro 2, but I am too much of a thin gadget geek, and I LOVE my vogue which is running WM 6.5 without a hitch (thanks NSFFAN!) so I'll be holding out for the HD2 or whatever thin WM7 phone Sprint comes out with next year.

Waiting for the Touch Pro 2 prices to come down. Or maybe the Diamond 2. Or maybe the HD. hahah....one of those!!!

I'm still holding on to my Touch for now. Probably gonna wait it out and see what comes next but the Pro 2 still looks pretty good. If the chefs can fix the BT, I'm in.

Unfortunately, according to several reports from HTC- Sprint hasn't even approached them about carrying the HD2. Sprint really pisses me off sometimes. If I hadn't negotiated such a great plan with them many years ago when they could offer good pricing I would move to another carrier. My only hope is that either Sprint actually listens or that the person in charge of selecting phones is fired or is declared incompetent by the state and isn't allowed to telecommute from his padded cell.

According to David Owens, VP of consumer marketing Sprint will have Windows Mobile 7 phones just as soon as Microsoft releases it. (http://community.sprint.com/baw/comm...anscript--1029)

According to a leaked Microsoft document Microsoft is going to release RTM release of Windows Mobile 7 in the month of April 2010. This means that to see the final version, we will need to wait till September or October of 2010 to see Windows Mobile 7 on our devices.

And according to a supposed leaked Microsoft document, the minimum specs for any Windows Mobile 7 phone are:

WM7 Chassis 1 Specification

Core requirements:
Processor: ARM v6+, L2 Cache, VFP, Open GL ES 2.0 graphics HW (QCOM 8k, Nvidia AP15/16* and TI 3430 all meet spec)
Memory: 256MB+ DRAM, 1G+ Flash (at least 512MB fast flash – 5MB/s unbuffered read @4K block size)
Display: WVGA (800×480) or FWVGA (854×480) 3.5” or greater diagonal
Touch: Multi-touch required
Battery: Sufficient to meet Days of Use LTK requirements.
Controls: Start, Back, Send and End are required (soft controls allowed as long as they are always present).

Peripherals:
Camera: 3MP+, flash optional, 2nd camera optional (VGA resolution sufficient)
GPS: aGPS required
Sensors required: Light Sensor, Compass (3 axis, 5 degrees, 100 Hz sample rate), Accelerometer (3 axis, 2mg resolution, 100 Hz sample rate)

Wi-Fi: 802.11B/G required, must run MSFT Native Wi-Fi stack, Atheros 6002 or Broadcomm 4325 recommended.

Therefore, at the very latest Sprint will have the HD2 or HD2-like devices around September of next year. But I would bet they will bring out the HD2 or a like device well before that timeline.

Yay!
