Is it just me or is HTC kicking everyone elses buts. They just keep getting better and better.

I think this is another one of those HTC psuedo-leaks. There's no way this thing is for real.

2500 mAh battery in a device 0.23 inches thick? Any 2500 mAh Lithium Ion battery would have am overall size larger then the entire dimensions of that handset!

This one is bogus- at least some of the specs!

Size: 3.58 x 2.31 x 0.23 inches (91 x 60 x 6 mm)
Battery: Rechargeable 2500 mAh Lithium-ion battery

I agree w/u about the battery being way too much of a dream. In todays smartphones we're *lucky* enough to have 1500mah batteries. Also the processor is like 2ghz? Things are moving fast, but not THAT fast!

heh... did you see the video from Qualcomm a few months back? they were showing off their new chipsets where it was showing 4 movies at the same time on the screen (at full frame rate) or an HD movie that it was streaming to a TV via hdmi?

They also demoed it playing a game with graphics rivaling a next gen console. They are moving fast.. maybe not 2ghz fast.. but nextgen phones (I am thinking 1-2 years out) are going to have some pretty insane specs.

I am really hoping that the Droid2(3?) will have an HDMI port.. could you imagine streaming Hulu from your droid to a high def TV?

The commercial:

Can your phone play Hulu?
Can it stream it to your high definition TV in full 1080p?
Can it interact with your home entertainmen...

You be all sorts of hrs of the night! You would do well in Vegas being up all night. All sorts of places open 24hrs here.

I think I did see that video back in Nov/Dec? Personally I can't wait for pico projectors to mature! Forget about HDMI, just beam the movie on the frinkin wall!

And about future tech, don't forget about microsd-xc! With an eventual capacity of 2TB's!!!

Also another beyond HDMI idea I have is a lot of Blu-Ray players & flat panels have wireless capabilities, why not wireless HDMI from a cell phone? WifiN.

That, and all these awesome specs and what nots would be awesome..

But we need MAJOR battery improvements first and fore most for most of that stuff to be an option.

I have a Nexus One, and while I can get 1 day easy, sometimes 2 days if I push it and restrain my use... I can also kill the battery in about 3 hours if I really want to/push the phone.

N1 on Tmo, ATT? BGR is reporting that the newer N1, the one for ATT is having color issues with it's display.

The 1 feature about the N1 that really grabs my attn is the dual mic noise cancellation feature. Not just for ph calls but there are more and more voice interactions with cellphones these days and noise cancellation really aids in the voice interactions with a smartphone.

I have the original T-Mo version on T-Mo. I have "heard" a few gripe about it having a screen issue, but on XDA there are a lot saying that it doesn't. I would chalk it up, at this point in time, as another red hearing... BGR and Engadget keep trying to find anything and everything they can to knock the N1.

In all honesty, it is hands down the best phone I have ever used or owned. I test for my carrier, am a phone whore, and have plenty of friends that are iPhone fan boys(never owned an iPhone, hate AT&T in my area, it is worst than Sprint! Although the iPad does intrigue me greatly, and if I had the dough I would have a Mac pro tower done to the hilt)

Anyways, most of the "issues" are not issues at all, and just people trying their...

Well said young man. I agree with you about Apple, great hardware/software but the whole corporate culture and Applecores that are attracted to it makes my skin crawl. I too think the N1 is absolutely beautiful, best to date from HTC, I just think there's going to be better stuff coming from them before the end of they year. The HD2/Supersonic are examples of what's coming down the road. At least that's what I have to tell myself since my NE2 isn't until Oct lol. I'm thinking this holiday season will be great.

What happened to the guys at Stanford who discovered how to increase a lithium batteries output to ten fold? Did they get bought out or offed by the petroleum companies?

"Commercialization is expected to take approximately five years (as of 2007) [1], with the batteries costing similar or less per watt hour than conventional lithium-ion. The next milestone, lifecycle testing, should be completed, and the team expects to get at least a thousand cycles out of the battery."

Not sure... there is a guy that found a way to make Hydrogen from water for less energy than it would in return produce, and cost insanely cheap amount to do as well(ie, would be about $1.00 for a gallon of gas equivilent to it)...

The thing about a lot of these advances, though, is that labs and real world are very far apart. Tons of medicines work in a lab setting, but do nothing in a human body.

It clearly states that rendering is what someone not even at HTC thinks it should look like, and what they all hope/think the specs should be.

I would not be surprised for the HD3 to approach some of those spec #'s, if not exceed some of them... but 2ghz SnapDragon is not likely, just to point out 1 spec lacking credibility.

Obviously the HD3 will be a direct cerebral implant and utilize your untapped brainpower as the CPU. Your left Retina will be replaced by a Pico Projector and will ship with a World of Warcraft Augmented Reality application. 😎

What do you do to burn through the battery in three hours? I can see myself doing it once I have flash.. but I try to burn my droid and I still get some decent time out of it.. I'm obviously not using the best applications.


As a side note: Do you root? If so, even if you don't overclock the Overclocking widget is excellent to manage power use while in standby.. I have my droid running at 800mhz, but with it underclocked on standby it last longer than my phone did stock @550.

I not only am rooted, I am a bit of a chef!

I use an under volted overclocked kernel, and setCPU to manage my profiles.

I can burn through it in 3 hours, which isn't easy, by overclocking to 1.5mhz, turning on WiFi, playing music in the back ground, surfing the webs, and having the live gmaps background on... for good measure I am running circles around my house so the GPS is always active!

No, seriously, overclocked to 1.5ghz, music, WiFi, browsing/video play back... I do have flash lite running (Desire ROM).

Flash actually isn't much of a battery hog, even 10.1 Playing youtube nets the same battery consumption as using the youtube app.

Typically, I have about 50% when I get home at 10PM, I leave my house at 8AM... that is r...
