Oh my gawd! Best news I heard in a long time..

Just imagine... in 2009 we will perhaps see a HTC phone that actually performs to its specifications instead of being doggedly slow and crippled!

If I read it right, at least, Tegra platform will have it's own ARM chips, so that would mean MSM is out... No more Qualcomm. Best news ever.

EDIT: At least, this is assuming HTC doesn't order a crippled version like we know we they did before :)

sweeeeet :)

Brilliant news, hopefully this means some killer devices this year.

Just hope nvidia dont do a Qualcomm and ask for money for drivers :mad:

[galaxys]

Best NEWS for HTC in a long time!!! The sooner a htc device with it the better!

[Wishmaster89]

I hope that it won't have those drivers issue that 5500 suffered from.

Finally my prayers have been answered. Please HTC get rid of Qualcomm. Heck give us Marvell or TI just not Qualcomm.

is this before or after they go bankrupt?

What's that...ATI sucks....oh ok.....ummm yeah.....anybody else that doesn't want Nvidia chips on your phone? Please stand behind Raz when he lines up for the iphone Nano.

I read about the above on WMPowerUser. Since then I've been ever so joyous and happy. Then, someone posted this 'thing' (http://www.qctconnect.com/trends/RedefiningMobility.html) in the comments.

And sure enough people:

Multiple designs underway
Fifteen leading manufacturers are now developing more than 30 Snapdragon-powered devices, the first of which should reach the market in the first half of 2009. The growing list of Snapdragon customers includes leading original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and original design manufacturers (ODMs) such as Acer, ASUS, C-motech, Compal, Foxconn, HTC, Inventec, LG Electronics, Quanta Computer, Samsung, Toshiba and Wistron.

I hope the QC Snapdragon is only in the Thoth (leaked UMPC) and not in all the usual handsets. If it's the other way round, then goodbye HTC.

this is great news but if this Snapdragon chip works as it says it will in the description then HTC might be missing out but we'll see though

Yeah, 'cause Qualcomm's track record for making awesome chips just speaks for itself. Who wouldn't expect snapdragon to be all that the specs say?

[nuke1]

That is offensive. For those who have ainkling about how Q lied to us the consumers, I don't think they'll be awfully happy.

[nir36]

Hope they fit the hardware to WM7 somehow and to have WiMax going.. cause i don't feel like buying 2 devices :)

btw, Nvidia ROCKS.

The best news of 2009 thus far i'd say!

[Keland44]

yea it definately does i am looking forward to this bump qualcom

[stepw]

Sorry to disappoint you, but it's possible that a Qualcomm baseband will remain in HTC smart phones in 2009. I haven't found a decent Tegra specification where this would be clearly indicated, however it looks like there's no integrated radio baseband. This is not a big surprise, as NVidia is not a major player in mobile radios market.

HTC was/is using Qualcomm basebands with many of their devices (for example based on Samsung SC3xxx). OMAP platform features an integrated baseband though.

Does anyone know for a fact what RF features Tegra chips natively support (apart from Wi-Fi and BT)?

[Chainfire]

Nope, but Qualcomm's radios aren't that bad IMHO. They're used all over the place in mobiles. I have no problem with reception, call quality, wireless connectivity or any of that. One of the few things they can actually do is RF. It's all the other stuff they fail at.

I'd be happy with Tegra SOC + Qualcomm RF! Perhaps I'd be even happier with Omap3 still, though that remains to be seen.

That is the best news from HTC in a long time. I really hope it's gonna happen this year! :)))
