What is the next phone?

[Pinesal]

G1 is starting to show it's age and we've had the superior Hero for awhile and now the DROID is out and even better than Hero. The problem is, they are for other carriers.

Tmobil just cam out with the Motorola CLIQ but it doesn't seem to be even as good as the Hero and definitely not as good as the DROID.

Are there any rumors of a worthwhile upgrade coming to Tmobile?

Sony Xperia X10 hopefully.

The Samsung Behold II is coming to T-Mobile, I don't know much about the phone, but that's something you can look into and decide for yourself.

Excuse me but the hero is actually superior to them all I thought I should correct your error mate.the only reason its slow is because HTC is using slow hardware that can't keep up with such elegance and beauty.the droid uses 1.6 while heroes use 1.5 so comparison isn't fair...

Good day to you all..

lol, apparently not I hate Sense UI, it's a resource hog that looks pretty but doesn't do anything useful. I'd rather just have a faster phone than that bogged-down UI.

i hope they make an actual G2, like 5 row keyboard 1ghz proc. capacitive touchscreen trackball with light , LED light ambient light sensor ,3-8000MP cam, 512 mb ram
pretty much a G1 with an upgrade =]

... WOW, you want a light emitting diode light ambient light sensor? I hope there was supposed to be a comma there. And I have never seen anything with 8000MP camera. Maybe the hubble LOL. somehow that is supposed to take pictures with just 512MB ram.. and a 64GB SD Card?

thats kinda true i only get about 30-ram avail on a hero rom
on a xrom or something i would have alot more available.

Very true. Also I'm really loving what Google did with the new icons in 2.0, much nicer than the HTC ones, so no need for a theme to hide the 1.6 icons that look like they're from the 90's >.<

leaked images of tmobiles phone "map" showed motorola sholes and the sholes tablet...


motorola sholes ofcoarse is the droid but gsm, and i am guessing the sholes table is the same as the moto droid,but full touchscreen w/ no keyboard..(no date annouced or leaked)

mytouch le (fender phone) definitely worth it compared to the behold 2... uses the 32a board = 288mb ram, 16gb sd card, and a 3.5mm jack. basically having a hero without sense ui stock...and i am sure the phone can be rooted the same way as the regular mytouch3g...maybe.(date: jan 2010)

i think that HTC should ask us here at XDA what we want, because being power users, i think we will have a better understanding of what we would like to see in a phone and at a decent price

thankfully my work let me exchange my storm for the droid and this phone could have been perfect but instead they decided to give it a **** keyboard. the G1's keyboard feels huge in comparison. luckily the screen is so big that using the OS-keyboard is easier and much preferred. This droid not only looks nice but it makes my G1 feel super slow. I always knew that the g1's screen wasnt as nice as the iphones but it was still a good looking screen compared to most other phones. Well just wait until you see android running on the droids screen and put the g1 beside it. It totally put the g1's screen to shame in not only size but resolution. this thing is so hi-res its sick. All i know is tmobile needs to get something equally as good as the droid by the time my contract is up next october. Oh to answer the OP's question, for the time being the droid is the "next phone". i dont think any of HTC's current phones can touch it.
