when start pc fair ??

December first week?

maybe the person just quoting the price of tp2, guessing that hd2 night not be more expensive than that.
anyway, if its more than 3k, i'd settle for the omnia2 instead, has its own advantage over hd2 also.

why omnia 2? the only thing better is the screen.. OLED vs LED? other then that.. i don't see much advantage. How can you say no to snapdragon + capacitive screen?

Anyway.. last i check TP2 price has dropped quite a fair bit (below 3k i think) so i don't think 3299 is TP2 price.

the tp2 launch price was around 3.2k, no doubt it has dropped since then.

the hd2 and omnia2 have different advantages:

hd2
-4.3inch capacitive multitouch screen
-1ghz snap dragon, more ram
-'nicer' sense UI

omnia2
- vibrant AMOLED screen
- better battery life (bcos bigger battery and enery saving oled)
- cheaper.

some more , omnia 2 also got video call and the camera plus video capture has been proven…..

but the hd2 capacitive screen + processor power really hot… hot…hot…

i wonder where is tegra phone? the news seem missing....

some might think the capacitive screen is great and really it is, but when sometimes you (unfortunately) have to use winmo interface which has not been skinned by HTC, interface will have small and near button, checkbox,list,etc. good luck touching that with your fat finger on a capacitive screen.

and of course you can use multitouch to zoom that window to make the buttons bigger, but that means u perform more finger actions to do the same thing that can be done if compared to resistive screen and stylus.

but winmo 6.5 alrdy made winmo interface more finger friendly alrdy

buttons are bigger

major parts of the interface are bigger, but there are still minor areas.
not a big problem most of the time, but of course u'd wish it could be better.

eg : watch the 'movie' at 27:40. the drop down list, he selected wrong the first time.

true, but then that's why you have xda community to make life for winmo users much better

if you don't like the HTC interface, there's always another one around

well, installing and using files from a developer forum would get lots of different reaction, depending on how much of a techie you are. not everyone is comfortable with it or would bother.

Hmm, to me i still felt that one of the main drawbacks is the video calls. Lol but never the less. I'm gonna grab it as soon as its available in penang.

erm.. got anybody call htc centre to comfirm the release date ??

read : HD2 - a tragedy

http://gizmodo.com/5400593/htc-touch-hd2-review-a-tragedy

i've read the review......obviously the writer hated so much about the idea of HD2 using a windows mobile......and cursing the hell away for not using an android or other UI's........i've been wondering......??? what is the goodness of this android phones?? and also.....omnia 2 is also using a wm also right???

I think the reviewer has issues with WM6.5 more then the phone itself.. that being said, sure WM6.5 wasn't that big a jump from 6.1 or 6.0..

but then, better then nothing

Can't wait for 7.0 though

some ppl just hate winmo cos nth much has changed for a very long time, even wm6.5 is mostly just reskinning.
the main apps like calendar, media player are still old and not the best apps which you can use for touch compared to today's standards.

android 2.0 is getting a lot of attention because it is new and it's been backed by google, who provides most of our internet content nowdays.
the only reason i'm still rooting for winmo is because i wanna use my garmin mxt.

True true. Windows is always slower in making the latest changes.. like IE vs FF and such, same thing.

I've heard people trying to put Android 2.0 on HD2 though, not sure if it'll workout

Yea, HD2 is really awesome.. the only downside being WinMo
