But the people who WM caters to really cross shop the iPhone?

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

any idea what might be on quarter 4 of sprints road map? or maybe quarter 1 of 2010? seems like the phone world is finally kicking it into high gear...but does it end/slow down 3rd quarter this year???

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

can i "kick the tires" and take her for a test drive before i commit to anything?

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

I think this is theRUU_Quartz_Clearwire_US_1.09.1000.5_Radio_Quart z_1.13.25.24_Signed_Ship.exe file. Found it in XDA, but didn't download it.

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

That is correct...

You can also download it here

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

if your willing to commit to a price anything is possible

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

What is this for? which device? better question, what phone is in the picture of that software upgrade?

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

Those are the ROM's for the HTC Touch HD... Read the article in the original post to know what I am talking about :)

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

i only wish i could buy that

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

Nice phone but i would rather have a tp2. But i am jealous if it is wimax supportable.

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

Personally rather have the HD than the TP2. I already mastered touchpal on my Diamond so a 3.8" HD with touchpal or even full qwerty should be just fine. The extra screen space is a plus but the thinness is what wins me over. I wear them tight jeans so the bulge from the TP2 would be out of hand :P. But if the HD doesn't come out, I'll settle for the TP2. By the time tegra/snapdragon come to the sprint, I'll most likely be due for another upgrade.

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

HD all the way! i've been feigning it since it was slated for release on GSM, even thought about leavin my SERO+pick3 and 10% off for it, but i'm not that rich..yet.
5mp cam, flash, headphone jack, huge screen, wimax. :-D i hope so. I've got 3 2-yr contracts that are up- waiting to get a couple new toys...

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

I also wanted when I saw it last year. but with TP2 is coming, I like TP2 better. HD is too wide for your pocket. it is like a PDA. TP2 is not as wide but longer, like a phone.

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

Two quick points:

1. TP2 doesn't have wimax from anything I've seen.

2. IT IS A PDA!!!! Call me crazy, but I don't understand the outrage over device size.. I bought a WM phone so I wouldn't have to carry my phone AND a PDA anymore.. I appreciate the fact that they're making it into a better PDA, as opposed to continuing to make a marginal PDA for the sake of maintaining size... I'd rather carry a functional brick than a crippled PDA that feels like a "phone"

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

true that tp2 does not have winmax. but winmax is expensive I bet unless you are rich. by next year, there will be more advanced phones with wm7 and capacitive screen.

tp2 is not as wide as a PDA

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

+1 for that post

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

HD is a very nice device but ever since the 6700 I've been really digging the slide out keyboards & every year they seem to get better... so I'll pass...

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

Haha. its obviously a good choice over the diamond 2 considering everyone has naturally turned to comparing it to the tp2 and an issue over the keyboard...

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

one more thing I learn is that it is hard to get new ROM quickly for Diamond since most ROM chefs here were moving to TP1. I assume that most chef will get TP2 also. so ROM for TP2 will be more and released quicker than HD/Dimand 2.


TP2 will have GSM while HD won't

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

Yes, I agree the HD is hands down a better choice if someone was choosing between the D2 and the HD...:)

Of course that's just my humbled opinion :mrgreen:

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

Any thought that Sprint will force its WiMax data plans on Sprint Quartz customers?

I want the Touch HD, and EVDO data is fine. Don't want to pay for WiMax at this point...

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

Uhhhh, Wimax "shouldn't" be expensive, being that it's an upgrade to the infrastructure technology.. I've never heard of a cellular provider charging different rates for 2g service vs 3g, so why would you think they'd charge extra for 4g over 3g?


and the TP2 is less than 1/4" narrower than a touch HD.. It gives you a smaller screen.. one that isn't even shrunk according to a standard resolution, so anything that stretches by default will look funny on it's screen. Anything that doesn't stretch by default will simply not fill the screen.

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

Watch this video.. It will compare the Touch HD and the Touch Pro2 in terms of size...

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

i pocketnow vid showed the contrast of the tp being noticeably better than the hd, something slightly disappointing :(

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

Too wide for your pocket? It's 0.17in wider than the TP2... If anything, the TP2 is too thick/big for your pocket. If a TP2 fits in your pocket so will the HD (much slimmer).


Don't see Sprint forcing WiMax unless it's actually available in more areas. And if the HD is actually coming this year, than I highly doubt they will.

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

Whitestone? maybe the firestone?

If one already has unlimited data why do most of you seem to think WiMax will cost more? data is data....

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

That is true. Data is data. But if its more its because they charging you for "faster"data that's the so called "catch" would be if they raise the price of wimax data plan. They will be like hey its faster cost more. The old "gotta pay to play" rule. But who knows we won't know til sprint get wimax up and running and devices with wimax so until than guess it really don't matter.

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

Touche!

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

I'm sure the unlimited has to do w/ it, but it is possible that they'll try to charge more for the faster internet. :-s

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

Good download/upload rates I hope with such a low CAP

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

Personally, I could care less about all the data plan speculation. I want to be sure the phone is coming to Sprint before I worry about any of the other nonsense.

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

Why? the phone is still a rumor. Wimax is confirmed... :scratch:

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

I don't understand what you mean by the phone is not confirmed. You have seen it on the sprint roadmap and bigchico took a pic of a sprint branded htc touch pro, both links are below, throw your speculation out the door. Sprint will have the tp2 Q3. its like what more do you need ](*,)

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

They are not going to charge more for internet, that is silly. Plus wimax is already available in some markets and they do not pay extra for wimax. Did anyone pay extra for evdo or evdo rev a, I didn't think so.

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

Where is the TOUCH HD confirmed? cause that what we were talking about.... or at least i was, being that this thread is about the Touch HD w/ WiMax....


I'll assume you mean other than a clue....

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

forgive my ignorance, i keep going back and forth between this thread and the tp2 thread. I thought i was on the tp2 thread. my bad :mrgreen: Yeah you guys are right, i have no clue if the hd is coming to sprint, personally i need a keyboard so i'm a tp2 fan.

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

I figured as much... I apologize if my reply came across rude. It sounds rude now that i read it again. Physical keyboards are over rated, and add uneeded bulk, imo...

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

Right, Wimax is confirmed. This is exactly why I don't care about the speculation, we'll see what happens when it hits the market. I'm curious about the phone which as you stated is a rumor. I'm interested in additional confirmation either that the phone is coming or not. I don't care about people speculating about the phone, but more so in tangible evidence one way or the other. Like I said, personally I could care less about all the data plan speculation, I am more interested in the facts.

On the other hand, its almost all speculation at this point anyway...

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

I would love the THD but if it comes to sprint who knows all cell phone companies are slow to release phone's and this is sprint we are talking abought by far one of the slowest. I have a TP and will most likely buy a TP2. If the THD going to come out by then I might wait. I often use the on screen key board on the TP anyway and get sick of the letter keys not working or sticking. I know you can get a refurb for sprint but was waiting for the new TP2 first and the head phone jack just sweetens it.with 32gig SD card option I could get rid of the Ipod also. So it would be like having a PDA, a phone, and a Ipod all in one.

Re: WiMax Touch HD?
 

Are you stating that the TP2 will have a "headphones
jack" 3.5mm? Or were you going to TP2 1st and then upgrade
if and when the THD comes out?
