I thought this phone was going to be with AT&T? AT&T sucks! They can’t even get the good Android phones. I was hoping this phone would be supplied by AT&T. Maybe I need to switch providers…a shame because I have a great plan that I got 7 years ago. Oh well.

I love dedicated keys, and I really love when they’re not touch keys but real physical press and click keys. Touch is great for a lot of things and very flexible, but not for every single function. I also like a dedicated volume control and a dedicated power/lock button. I just don’t see any possible negatives to having those. If you want to duplicate those functions with touch as well, that’s fine, but give me my buttons.

Hopefully this one can live up to the expectation of the users: More: http://bit.ly/htc-desire-nexus-on-steroids

It is releasing on Nov 6th for $99 with 2 yr contract. I am in love with this phone. I just hope they launch with Android 2.0 or at least allow to upgrade to it later.

Anyone want to take a stab at cost? Unsubsidized of course. I’ll guess it’s $500, maybe $600

I don’t know but IMO, I really think this phone will become extremely popular really fast and will outsell the Droid. I wish I knew the specs on this p.y.t. so that I could make a decision already..(sigh)

Here’s a slightly better version of the picture. The brightness and contrast were tweaked a bit so you can see it better, including the hardware buttons and trackball at the bottom. It’s definitely the phone the Google CEO was pictured as holding at the Verizon press conference. Whether or not it’s the Desire, Passion, or Predator remains to be seen, but I’m guess that since the Desire name showed up in inventory databases a while back, that’s what it will be called.

Christ Almighty! I pay several hundred dollars to buy out the sprint contract my wife and i had so we could hop on board the G1 train as TMO was bursting forth with the Andorid revolution. A year later all they’ve added are two new phones, 1 with a decent screen but pathetic capabilities, the other with decent capabilities but a miniature screen and amateur design. (and the forthcoming, uninspiring galaxy?) Meanwhile ALL of their competition is putting out exciting, thoughtful, capable Android devices. TMO needs to dish out snapdragon QUICK or Im out!!!

Verizon took their time but they are definitely doing it right so far. Their first two Android devices are pretty damn sexy.

with as many android devices hitting the fan at a staccato pace, i think i’m goin’ to sit back and let the waves hit the jetty for a little while.

t-mo has yet to wake up and smell the coffee and offer a wifi calling android.

sprint has airave and hero.

verizon has droid, desire and network extender.

so it looks like i got some time to let the dust settle a bit out here in no coverage land.

after xmas sale time is looking bright to me.

only thing that makes me very hesitant is t-mo’s customer service.

talking to sprint or verizon customer care is like talking to my deaf 14 year old sheltie.
