Yeah the Universal was a huge, clamshell/swivel smartphone. This doesn't look like it'll bend that way. :p

I'm so happy my contract is up in 28 days. :D

I'd love to nabb that Touch HD w/ kybd LOL.

so Rhodium is the same as Whitestone, which has no keyboard?

Re: HTC Rhodium lent more credibility
 
You can't call a device with a different name the 'same' but from the looks of it, its the Touch HD Pro that was rumored as soon as the Touch HD came out...

The Touch HD as we know it is not coming to the U.S., but one of the phones, like what was posted in the OP, looks to be like the U.S. edition with additional 3G support for the U.S.

Awesome. It has taken a couple years but a 3.5+ display with WM 6.5 will convince me to stick with WM until 7.0 comes out.

Any significant changes from the HD rumored to be included yet?

Thanks for posting, I have something to look forward too.

I hope that the Sprint version keeps the 3.5mm jack.

Re: HTC Rhodium lent more credibility
 
The announcement for this device is expected to be at the World Mobile Congress later this month..

Will this device have the Snapdragon processor and Windows Mobile 6.5?

BigDiesel07 02-06-2009 02:13 AM

Re: HTC Rhodium lent more credibility
 
Possibility of it.. But until we get more info, all we can do is speculate...

lawmangrant 02-06-2009 02:32 AM

Re: HTC Rhodium lent more credibility
 
WM 6.5 most likely, as HTC usually likes that be on the Cutting Edge.

I want this!

I would be absolutely SHOCKED if this launches with Snapdragon versus the current 528MHz processors in their respective GSM/CDMA flavors...
