HTC bringing VGA displays to sprint: Raphael and Diamond

[TrueArsenic]

The TBD corresponding to "Sprint TV" is staring me right in the face.. it's mocking me.. bleh..

The Phone looks ILLLLLL though! I'm gonna have to consider this.. we'll see how this develops.. As always, A company has a big opportunity to make an awesome phone, we'll see how they come through on it.. I'm not gonna hold my breath though. I'm a realist.. not a pessimist.

Hopefully the screen won't suck when it's being used in even a small amount of sunlight! (Yes, I have an anti-glare screen protector.)

I'm digging this new phone. Specs and potential are great, and it's very slick in design.

I'll likely pick one up shortly after release. The two things holding me back are battery (I love my extended battery on my Mogul, and I'm not sure I can put up with a standard one until one's released for it) and custom ROMs. I went through all that with the Mogul, and don't want to do it all over again. Otherwise I'm loving it.

I saw no comments about them switching the keyboard back to the other side. I wonder what the reasoning was. Too many old-school users had trouble adjusting? All I'm hoping is that this means the stylus will be moved to a more intelligent place. Its placement on the Mogul makes transitioning from stylus to keyboard a pain for me.

I hope it isn't a hoax...

It's not, those photos taken were of actual documents within Sprint. The phones may not look exactly like those, but they'll look pretty close.

i think the scammers are forgetting that sprint has a recycling program that i'm sure plenty of people will take advantage of. thus, plenty of refurbished available.

Thats the weird thing. The sprint store in my neighbor hood doesnt give out refurbs, either they fix your phone or give you a new one (unless water damage or you c4'd your phone).

The only way to get a refurb for me is calling in and ordering one for 50 bucks. I asked them (store) to get me a refurb and they said that their sprint reps tell em they cant get any... unless they get hold of a bunch of new moguls, people like have to get another phone.

Not really. Why would you give away (or get paid a mere 50 dollars on your account) when you could easily sell a Mogul on e-bay 100-150 (once the Raph) comes out).

Also, to the guy saying the 800w will be the direct replacement for the Mogul, I highly doubt it. The 700w wasn't ever on the replacement list for the 6700, and still isn't. As you said, there are two camps, and Sprint realizes this. Forcing someone into the other camp is a surefire way to make them unhappy. (Hurr, Sprint doesn't care about customers anyway, hurr)

Before the Mogul was released, there was a month or two when there were no 6700's available new or reconditioned, and the ONLY two Windows Mobile phones were the Moto Q and the 700wx, and neither were placed on the list for the 6700. They aren't going to force users of a device with a sliding keyboard into one without it(Unless Moguls run out of stock, as right now the Touch is on the list for the Mogul). The 800w might make its way there as an option, but it will be there with the Raph.
