HTC leo or Touch Pro2

[JustusIV]

So i am currently on a mogul and have decided to upgrade, I love the sound of the leo but i dont know if i can hold out. Is there any sort of idea about a time frame? I dont need to know days or anything but is it going to be and 09 release? If its within a few months i am sure i can hold out but if its to far i will just bit the bullet and go with a touch pro 2. Ideas?

Leo is a rumor as of now. Nobody knows what carrier, Nobody know what is has, nobody know when it will be released. It's either U wait for the rumor to come true (thats about 1 min to forever wait) or just go ahead and give Sprint a call.

i'm gunna have to agree with you brothaman... and honestly, i don't think we will get the leo in the US, and def not CDMA... i believe its the first of many to come and there will be UBER AMOUNTS of quirks to be worked out with winmo 6.x and a capacitive touch screen. Get something for the meantime, its gunna be a while. remember, sh*t don't happen over night. I remember knowing about the diamond like 8 months toa year before its release lol

You miss the beauty of Android if this is your line of thought. Android is based on Open source software, Linux. The OS itself is open source. This allows for mass customization of the OS, the interface, and opens up a ton of possibilities for application development. Sense UI is part of Hero's OS... not an application package running on top of the stock OS user interface. That in itself is an improvement.

Android is a powerful tool

I've known about the TG01 but i'm talkin about being released here in the US. You see alot of phones come out but take atleast 6 months to reach the states.

On the Android part. I'm taking programming classes right now, and maybe i will learn to appreciate the OS more (not like i don't now tho), after I can get deeper into it. As of now tho, I kinda got bored of how simple the UI is... Simple, productive and easy to use? Sure! No bashing there.

The concept of "widgets" have been around for a while now with phones. WebOS open the doors to more creative thinking. They took what they saw in our own winmo "visual task switcher" and the Xperia X1 "Panels"(which IMO doooggged the phone down bad), implemented a similar idea with their "Cards" and hit the ground running.

Why do I have a feeling that Sense UI will become standard for all HTC-Manufactured Android phones? Atleast until something better comes along... And didn't I read somewhere that its called "HTC Sense UI" and not "Android Sense UI"

its windows mobile, but the capacitive touch screen would really help in porting over Android

No way will you see anything in Oct. If that phone even gets released in the US it will be Spring/Summer 2010... and thats assuming that a company doesn't come out with something RIDICULOUS by then and just take it outta the ball game...

As my Brothaman Jethro_Static would say:

I believe so. Plus if ur not familiar with TF3D, U better start now. I came from Touch to Diamond. I felt like it's a whole new ballgame as far as customization is concerned. Everything U did on ur Mogul, U have to leave that and enter the new world.

I say, Why don't U try other platforms? The Pre looks promising. I'll be having 1 in my hands any day now. And then, Let the hacking begin! LOL. My brotherman always have my back coz he tried almost, if not every smartphone available. LOL.
