Default [keyboard/keypad] [new] [hot !!]

UPDATE


I just had a word with one of their customer respresenative named Mandy, she sounded very pleasant and nice. After going through the whole dealing process she insisted that the minimum order to modify an item is 500 units. So if any of the manufacturers or businessman can order 500 HD2 then it might be possible that we can have a custom built Qwerty Keypads for our HD2.

By the way she also assured that the item is bieng checked by one of the quality checking teams and it will be available on the website pretty soon. So enjoy the beautiful keyboard since then.

The Big Deal

Now while going through the product description i noticed quite interesting details:

It is almost simlar to the length / breadth height with our hd2.

HTC HD2 :120.5mm x 67mm x 11mm KEYBOARD:115mm x 60mm x 6 mm

What More !!

As specified on the website, they also have custom made keypads available if the product is bought on lots or wholesale of 25 and above number.

Now this is interesting as i am going to contact them and ask them strictly to this option whether they can make custom keypads with a hinge or a hook for an hd2, i would happily place an order of 25+ keyboards.
Dont you all think this would be a great addon for our HD2. If anyone interested please add your comments here, and lets make this idea into reality.

Imagine HD2 with a Qwerty Keypad .. This sounds to good to be true.

Price/Cost
And my last surprise to you, this is worth only only only USD 20

For more details you can go directly to the production description website : http://www.chinavasion.com/product_i...r-smartphones/

XDA is about developing and is for developers. Any user that recognises that will gain the most benefit from this site


 
This is and always will be a site for developers, pure and simple. Without them we are nothing, without them there would be no reason for XDA Developers to exist; we should never ever forget that. Without them this place would not be called XDA-Developers but something else, e.g Mobile Phone User Support Services For Ungrateful Nerds.

55 bucks? Not too bad, especially with what orb said, buyers protection.

Thanks for showing this I'm so tired of soft keyboard only when I need to write a long email or the such.
