Brandon @ May 27th 2007 8:43PM
I'm a bit excited. I'm still waiting for a replacement for my XDA Exec. :)
Dustin Leiblein @ May 27th 2007 11:24PM
I wish they would just release the HTC Shift stateside now!!!
BrianC @ May 28th 2007 1:01AM
Could that be the much anticipated HTC Kaiser?
Conrad @ May 28th 2007 4:14AM
I bet it'll be a hockey-puck-shaped, acceleration-based mobile device that lets you navigate menus by spinning it.
JayCaesar @ May 28th 2007 6:37AM
oh man i wanna know what it is
David @ May 28th 2007 6:56AM
I hope it's the Kaiser!!!!
Richard Lai @ May 28th 2007 10:28AM
It is probably going to be about their UMPC.
nman @ May 28th 2007 2:40PM
Come on its gonna be Multi Touch or something similar, just look at the promo picture the woman is using at least 2 fingers to touch the number 5.
And my bet is its going to be launhced the Elf or somehting similar, which unlike most HTC devices has some sleek styling abnd it looks a bit Iphone like...... oh and the Elf is not 3G so is will no doubt be on wide release over here in the states.
Good on you HTC lets show those Apple fan boys what a real Smartphone can do!!!!

oh please, HTC are so second rate - i should know as i bought the XDA Atom. Second rate from hardware quality (buzzing flickering screens, battery, etc), to their choice of software partners.
One thing in their defense, when not actually touching their devices but just looking at them from a distance - they do look pleasing. Shame things don't stay that way once you get hands-on with them.

Anyone want to bet money that this is the official announcement of the X7501 for the US?
The new phone control reference probably has to do with the VueFLO motion sensing/browser control technology that they built into the X7500/X7501.

What a smartphone can do? be fat, ugly and need a stylus, not work with 3G and work with non standard mini-usb plugs. I think i'll wait for the iphone... and did someone mention WM 6.0 at least that is a plus...if you've been suffering with 5. I just went to the BGR site and saw the unboxing of the ELF and I really hope that isn't what is coming on the 5th... That is what pale faced whale. The fit and finish on that is terrible and I hope that isn't a stylus that I see.
nman @ May 29th 2007 4:32PM
Hmm so the Iphone is oging to be 3G, i don't think so, and HTC uses mini usb works just fine on the one I have.
And as for a stylus, well that might be useful on the Iphone when big fudgy fingers start typing 2 or 3 letters at once with all that mltitouch stuff going on.
Oh and a Smartphone is defined as a phnoe with an open OS, not something controlled by Steve Jobs.
Get real Appple fan boy.
Mac @ May 29th 2007 2:20PM
ummmm yeah the iPhone is actually EDGE technology. It isnt 3G either! Oh and FYI HTC products are now going towards UMTS, Smartguy ;)
Viking @ May 31st 2007 12:11PM
I agree with the mini-usb comment - perfectly standard connector. and iphone non-3g - well yep it's not. but to call Windows Mobile an open OS...? c'mon, are you serious?
i have to ask, am i the only one who sees some wisdom in initially locking down the iphone to only the standard set of software...? Doesn't it make sense to wait until say 100,000 iphones are out there and all is well, that then the next step can be made with 3rd party apps?
...just curious, as it seems so logical to me, but seemingly nobody else... :)

It's not the announcement of the HTC Advantage in the U.S., that has already been announced. Goto www.htc.com, its on the right side of the page. It could be the Kaiser, but its most likely something we haven't seen before. The HTC Shift will not compete with the iPhone, the shift is a laptop, it has a 7 inch screen, its not feasible that you could carry it on your person, youd have to put it in a bag like you would a laptop.

FYI, the XDA Atom is made by Quanta, not HTC.
Quanta has not been in the mobile phone game for very long, and their two handsets on tha market right now (the Atom and Atom Life) have small problems with them accordingly.
Viking @ May 31st 2007 12:00PM
Hi Naz,
thanks for the info; my bad for getting that wrong, i was under the impression that the XDA's were made by HTC.
BrianC @ Jun 1st 2007 3:27AM
Isn't Quanta one of the two chinese phone manufactures selected by Apple to make their iPhones?
willie @ Jun 3rd 2007 3:22AM
One of the reps at work for AT&T said the Kaiser might be released in late June or early July. I hope they officially announce that at press conference.
