We love the battle of the bricks at work]]>Sep 12th 2006 7:18AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/11/htc-omni-to-take-torch-from-universal/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/11/htc-omni-to-take-torch-from-universal/And: Please save the sd-card slot!]]>Sep 12th 2006 8:50AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/11/htc-omni-to-take-torch-from-universal/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/11/htc-omni-to-take-torch-from-universal/
I also hope it'll already offer seamless conversation recording-capable hardware, unlike all the HTC models released so far.

The other stuff (more hardware buttons, HSDPA) seem to be cool, but why there is no external LCD to, at least, display the caller's number/name? The Universal is so less usable than the Wizard or other, non-mini-laptop PPC PE devices when not used with an advanced BT headset...]]>Sep 12th 2006 9:34AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/11/htc-omni-to-take-torch-from-universal/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/11/htc-omni-to-take-torch-from-universal/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/tech-faith-wireless-sells-501-under-ubiquio-brand/

If they dropped the bottom half of the Universal it would be a GREAT phone. Granted, it wouldn't have the keyboard but I'd gladly toss that to get it down to a reasonable thickness. If they made the 501 without a keyboard but put in the full VGA screen, I'd drop my 6700 like the brick that it is!

I have no loyaltly to HTC even though I've had the 6600 and 6700 because HTC just keeps making their PPC phones thicker and they never bother to improve the BT on these things. They change the version of BT but the BT in the phone has the worst distance/strength even compared to phones 1/10 the volume!]]>Sep 12th 2006 12:07PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/11/htc-omni-to-take-torch-from-universal/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/11/htc-omni-to-take-torch-from-universal/
