Will HTC ever make another like the BA?

You know Something with WM6 and a slide down key pad like the BA.

The wizard's screen is just too small for my use, and I'm no fam of the Wizard/Hermes rotate required keyboard.

You think we should get a petition together or something.

Although the screen size was nice and big... I gotta say, I put up with alot of reboots and freezes with my old BA. As a matter of fact, it took me upgrading to my new Hermes to realize that (almost daily) reboots were NOT normal.

I'll sacrifice screen size for dependability any day. :)
lol.

Weird, my QTek 9090 hardly ever crashes. I think a lot has to do with the ROM's being used by the different carriers.

I too would *love* to see a new device like the BA. I don't like the smaller 2.8" screens at all and I also don't like their lesser sensitivity, making them harder to use with the tip of your finger (as opposed to using the stylus).

...or like right now I'm using the back end of plastic spoon while I'm on lunch ^_^

Hmmm, the I-Mate Scully (http://img294.imageshack.us/my.php?image=showimagephpmarticlesde1.jpg) looks kinda yummy. No real info yet because all info available is leaked info.

I used to have the BA but I had to change over to the Hermes because the reliability of the BA was so bad and it's battery ran down so quickly and that was with a brand new genuine battery so I always had to carry a extra battery with me but now with the Hermes I have none of those problems and I wouldn't be with out it. I am pleased I changed and even though I still have my BA I would never go back to it.

I'm also surprised as to why there is no other device with large screen and slide out keyboard since the BlueAngel.
I love the big screen and would actually like VGA screen.

if they can squeeze in a GPS, usb host, faster processor but keep sd card I would be very happy.

The Sharp W-ZERO is interesting:

so is the Sharp EM-ONE

but they are not really phones (the W-ZERO needs a special sim and the EM-ONE has HSDPA but no voice)

Big screen, Good memory, Massive 8gb internal storage, 802.11wireless. BT 2.0 with A2DP. Hsdpa . will this do for a start?

Welcome to the HTC Athena ( T-mobile Ameo )

Maybe the HTC P6550 - Sedna, no keyboard but fully loaded.

Have to reset BA maybe once in a week, battery life is great, also have spare one but never needed it... Battery is much more durable than the one in 2020 and 1010.

You guys should check roms in your BAs about those crashing.

AND while its off ... more than a week and guess whut with no recharge , the battery Life is great its Fast , good , reliable ... BA is JUsT a Perfect Device ..
