Nice phone.

If HTC make it, the buyers better make sure they get what they think they are getting. Just cause it says it can do all of that, how many features will HTC cut/hold back on. It seems they are holding back features from other phones, only to introduce them in later phones.
Does anyone know if they use any of the same chipsets that the Titan use?

I am also surprised no one has a dump file yet

Sorry to burst your bubbles but this device is probably Japan market only. Thus the W-CDMA, GSM is just for raoming outside japan. Totally pisses me off. Japan and Korea are the only 2 countries that you can't roam in.

If you read the article you'd see it comes in 900/1700/1900/2100MHz and 850/1700/1900/2100MHz flavors. The latter being a US version most likely.

You can bet your ass Sprint wont get it. Sprint screws up every phone they get. Look at what they are doing to the Samsng F90? removing the keyboard an alot of other functions. Verizon is getting the good version

If you paid attention neither sprint or verizon will get it. Its a GSM phone, not CDMA.

I have been drooling over this phone the past few days. If either GSM carrier can get 3G rolling in my area I will be all over this device.

I read about that on Engadget... if that is indeed the new release date, then history will basically repeat itself and the device will be obsolete by when it is released.

It will be obsolete every where in a year, except here in the USA in a year.
