Every month or two a new rumor about a great new phone and what do we get,a four month MOTO Droid and an outdated Htc Eris. I’m about ready to go T-Mobile just for a decent phone and better rates. Why the f*** can’t we have any phone we want?

people say it won’t come out for “the BIG V” because for some reason the BIG V only wants to carry crappy phones, though they can typically get away with it because its the only US carrier with reliable coverage for the most part everywhere. Seriously, the Droid is such a piece of crap, I don’t even know where to begin.

@john: WCDMA is not to be confused with CDMA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W-CDMA_(UMTS)

@MensahWatts: Why would HTC not announce a VZW release? Look at the specs for the phone. They don’t support the proper frequencies that VZW runs on.

The HTC site says that it has WCDMA on the NExus One and HTC Desire sepcs page. does that mean that it will be on Verizon?

I was afraid this wasn’t going to come out on VZW. I am still holding off on getting the DROID because I am not 100% happy with the phone. Not looking forward to buying a phone off of Google since it just adds a layer of BS to the purchasing experience.

Well the lack of 720P video camera like in the Bravo leaks disappoints me. There is also no noise cancelling mic like mentioned above, but also no voice to text that Android 2.1 provides??? Why HTC Why??? I do like the improved Sense UI, the optical trackad and the hardware buttons (not in the same order as Nexus one and Droid you will notice).

Maybe I should hold out for the Motorola Motoroi that might be released next month, it has 720P video recording, XENON FLASH(wow) and 8MP camera.

Or wait a few months more for the Samsung Beam with the best specs of any smartphone released or yet to be released.

Phone looks good but the noise cancelling on the N1 is amazing – I debated whether to wait for this here in the UK but still glad (for me) I went with the N1..

@Biffy: If we’re to believe the above picture to be accurate, then it does appear to have a flash of some sort.

I’d rather have that than the N1, I mean damn that phone just looks hott (though I wouldn’t mind that noise-cancelling technology). Enjoy it, world. America doesn’t deserve it.

Sweet looking phone. It’s unfortunate that the United States doesn’t get to have it. >:(

With limited experience with AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon, I have no idea why anyone would ever choose Verizon to be their carrier.

Cant find any mention of 720p recording like what we heard in the rumors.

i doubt this is comming to verizon since verizon is getting the “HTC Incredible” which has the same specs as this and htc sense 2.1, it just looks different

The irony here is unbelievable! I can’t speak for everyone but I would venture a guess that most everyone waiting for a phone for use with Verizon would LOVE to have this phone. It has Sense, it looks beautiful, it would be the Nexus One equivalent but available through the provider. Instead, we’re left waiting for the Nexus One to launch so that we can pay for inferior tech support and for a phone we won’t be able to put in our hands. But if we are willing to wait for the rumored June release we can indeed have a similar phone from Verizon…the Incredibly ugly version of the two other beautiful HTC phones. Kind of makes you wonder why they would go ugly on the Incredible with the Bravo/Desire and Nexus One being so attractive? What genius thought that up?
