That pouch looks a lot better than the one that came with the touch HD.

It has more of the Blackberry Bold style.

But it's good to have false hope once in a while right?:

Indeed, yes! That is why President Obama is as satsifying as a new planned phone release that never quite delivers on the promise or the buzz. He has been a master at demonstrating what false hope is all about. In his honor I would like to propose a new standard unit of measure called the "obam", which is expressed as a ratio of pre-delivery enthusiasm vs post delivery performance.

This in and of itself would make a great new App for WinMo's new marketplace.

No. Just the opposite! If I were Fox News Hound, I'd say "Obama's taxing Americans to give these Leos away to illegal immigrants" ... No, I'm a "San Francisco Liberal" disappointed with his timidity...

Anyway, very off-topic and I apologize for this digression.

No apology required, considering the source.

Storage and Program memory sizes

By comparing Leo's Storage and Program memory values against those of the UTC HD HERE, the free Program space is much lower (200 vs. 300) and the free Program space is almost the same.
Are we going to encounter a problem with such a small Storage space? (currently I use more then 200MB of Storage on my HTC HD).

Thanks

I would love to know how they managed to use 310 megs of ROM.

Looks like you will have to change your habits.

 

[zolom]

Yup. I hope that due to the snappy Leo's CPU, some apps (usually) intended to be installed on internal Storage, will perform OK, when installed on Storage Card.

Hopefully the Sd card tune-up cab by Tnyynt here:http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2915068&postcount=1
will work on Leo to rectify any lag in videos or apps

I know this has been asked before, but not for a while

Hey, I know someone asked previously, but it was some weeks ago. Does anyone know when this is going to be released in Hong Kong?

Any insight appreciated...

 

[c4Lvin]

i am wondering and continuing to wait for the release in hong kong as well. any official news from csl or smartone? i hope they dont ruin that sexy body with their own stamping i
of their logo as they did with the acer neotouch

Does the Leo (HD2) support rSAP?

Has anyone managed to pair the HD2 (Leo) with an Audi, VW or Skoda factory fitted bluetooth car kit. If so does the phone have full rSAP profile on it required to use the external antennae and full link up with the contacts list and texts??

As a current Kaiser user running Abu's X2-V10 ROM I am looking at the HD2 as the next upgrade. I have looked at the TP2 but the level of spec on the HD2 is so much higher than the TP2 it seem silly to get the TP2. I think I can deal with not having a proper slideout keyboard. But I am still left asking myself is it worth being tied into an 18 month contract for, or will HTC be releasing a HD2 style handset with a keyboard?

Probably around MWC 2010 they will announce Touch Pro 3 which will be essentially HD2 with a slide-out keyboard ,some kind of video output - hopefully mini/microHDMI and probably just like Touch Pro 2 got official upgrade to 6.5 TP3 will get official upgrade to WM7.
But remember this is just pure speculation but based on past announcements from HTC.
