[RELEASED] The 4.3 inch "Thunderbolt" aka "Mecha" aka "Incredible HD" from HTC...beyond coming soon!

I'm 90% sure I'll be jumping on this phone. I'm really hoping the screen is upgraded from the EVO it's the one thing I dislike a lot about that phone. I live in a great 4g coverage area I'm hoping the 4g signal is slightly stronger I moved units in my same building but my new one has a very weak 3g signal just moving across the hall went from full bars down to switching between 1x and 3g . It's had a huge effect on battery life

I am assuming you already now this, but just in case.

I had a similar problem with 1X-3g working in a big aluminum sided building. I began leaving/connecting to my work WiFi (leaving on all the time) and it almost doubled my battery. Before my battery would be drained by noon with the phone going in and out of 3g all day long. You do not need 3g for calls, only 1X.

Yeah I know , I moved and still haven't connected my WiFi at my new place so I went form getting 20-40hrs to 8-12hrs haha .

I actually put a fresh battery in right before I went to bed and 6hrs later when I woke up I was down to 60% with wifi I'd sometimes be as high as 98%. Ohh well I'll have wifi back up and running within a week
 
if this comes out in the next 1-2 months i will be getting my notion ink adam and this bad boy right around the same time, i'll have enough new gadgets to keep me busy for months(maybe) :D

Who needs surround sound on a phone??

I'm talking about listening to music on headphones...

I just like the fact that a phone company acknowledges that the device is also an mp3 player, and hires a descent sound-engineer to adress this function somewhat professionally.

Or how about these last night?

black_man_x The Panda
setting up 4q and gonna check in at the first place we hit.. Socal tech heads buy me a beer and u can fondle my tech.. night all!!

black_man_x The Panda
going out with Siblings for drinks.. if u can find me in the city then U will get to see something incrediblely HD.. #wherespanda
 
yeah i think its dropping right after the announcement. I might not be able to wait for a dual core HTC phone. We will have to see what the final specs are. I will have to see if BT can get Mr. Panda to give him some pic to leaks for our site lol
 
If this phone comes out before the 11th, I will be the happiest man alive! I just ported over from Sprint and got an X because I wanted a phone with the same specs my EVO had... or close to it I should say. Anyways, I can't stand the X, and I knew Motorola would ruin Android, so I have been researching and researching about the Mecha/Incredible HD/Thunderbolt/Scorpion... for months. I asked a B2B rep for Verizon if he knew of a 2-3 week time period that an LTE phone would launch and he said probably not til after February, so I just went ahead and ported over thinking I could probably sell the X for about half of what I would pay full retail for the Inc HD. I got a steal on the X @ $50 because I have connections, so if I can get a Inc HD for $600 full retail, sell my X for $300, I would be out of pocket a total for $350 for it and that would be perfectly fine by me! PLEASE let this phone come out by then!!!
 
You guys can all thank me for the inc hd announcement news. With little hope this phone would be released any time soon I bought an og inc off Ebay on Tuesday to tide me over! I'm glad to be finally getting off my Eris but I have to have the worst timing ever! :mad:
 
Does anyone else feel if this phone is not dual core it will be a major disappointment?

Why? everything after this phone on the higher tier will be dual core. If your putting something up there as a "Dream" phone as HTC has now. You need to be ahead of the curve, not the last to do the old thing. Dual cores should much improve battery also which has been one of the bigger issues with smartphones.

I don't feel that particular need.

Hasn't been an issue for me.

I don't feel that I have to be on the bleeding edge of every "Dream" only to wake the next morning to find that I've fallen behind. I'm just interested in possibly (quite) getting this phone when it comes out. I have other things in life to be majorly disappointed about. Don't need the stress. :)

I am not stressing about it.. lol just saying if your going to put something on a pedestal of being a "dream" phone it would at least have the most advance tech. And nothing will far surpass a dual processor phone for quite sometime.

I was pretty surprised the nexus S didn't take the dual processor road actually.

As far as batt life goes, you personally may not have an issue, but it has been well documented that it is a larger scale issue, and you would think companies would want to take strides to make it better.

I will more then likely be getting this phone on release either way.. but with a single core snapdragon I would feel like it was not the upgrade it has been made out to be.
