Bet we hear all sorts of news about the Vigor this next Thursday.

Talk of the Day -- Two sleek HTC-Beats smartphones to come online - CNA ENGLISH NEWS

Maybe they'll decide to Release it then too! :D

I really hope you're right, but...

I think this article is suspect because it is inaccurate about the specs of the Runnymede, and more importantly, the Vigor is an American product that will be a VZW exclusive. I just don't see it being announced in Europe.

But, as I said, I really hope you're right on this one!
 
I was hoping to start a thread where we could have one central place for pics of the Vigor. Other threads are out there, but maybe this one can consolidate them into one easy spot...solely for pictures. Seems like pics are starting to pop up, so any contributions would be greatly appreciated.

Edit:
Okay, apparently I'm half a goof, cause I can't get any of the pics saved on my desktop to this thread. Grrrr.
 
I'm leaning towards Prime, but the HTC device looks sweet! I haven't had an HTC since the Eris, which I know wasn't a great phone, but I've heard good things about the Incredible.

I'm curious as to what the thinking here is regarding Prime vs. Vigor. Do you guys prefer the Vigor because it's coming out sooner, or because you don't like Samsung?

Personal preference, really. The Samsung sounds like it will be a VERY nice phone, but I really like HTC and Sense.

Overall, HTC is also pretty good when compared to other manufacturers about providing software updates, and where they fall short, the Dev community seems to more then make up for it.

Based on what we know about them, I don't think you can really go wrong with either phone. I'm definitely getting the Vigor though.
 
I waited on the Bionic for months and it was 'meh' when it came it. I don't plan to wait for the Prime since it's still up in the air on what it has. Definitely belive that HTC's Sense is the best skin out there on all Androids. I also don't like the plastic-y feel of previous Samsung phones, although there was one rumor the Prime would be metal. So unless Samsung releases some "out-of-the-water" specs and features...I'm going with the Vigor next month...tired of waiting.

Also, I've had my Droid Incredible since launch date and had no issues with my speaker. Mine is extremely loud and effective. What I can't stand about my phone nowadays, is that the single processor can't handle my multitasking debates....really laggy when I got 2-3 things going on.
 
For whats its worth, I went into a Verizon store the other day to check something with my account. The rep mentioned that I had an upgrade, but as Im waiting for the Vigor, said that I wasnt ready to use it since the phone I want hadnt been released yet. He then asked what it was called, and I said I didnt know what its official name was going to be, but told him it was made by HTC. He then said "the Vigor?" and I said yes, and he asked me if I had seen pictures of it and what I thought of it. I did not ask if he knew any release date, mainly because I figured he wouldnt know or tell me, or that he would give me some date that could turn out to be false, as is so common with questioning reps. He didnt continue the conversation on it any further than that either.

Didnt really know what to get from that, but could be 1. He's knows it's coming, and it could still have the Vigor name since thats what he referred to it as? 2. He's simply been asked about it by other customers.

Either way, REALLY looking forward to this phone! I love my Incredible but I think its beginning to show its age! :D
 
Ok,so I purchase this phone and want the bootloader unlocked...do I contact them and tell them send a unlock code? How do I 'request' a unlocking?? I'm not gonna play the 'maybe this will get unlocked down the road' game with this phone. If I get it, it has to be unlocked. Otherwise I just wait for the Prime....
 
I've decided that regardless of what the final name is, I still call it the Vigor. When the old Windows Mobile HTC HD2 came out, a lot of people never stopped calling it the Leo, and the Imagio was often referred to as its codename, Whitestone. I think we should resurrect that tradition.

If you root most likely the devs will have it unlocked within a few days. Otherwise it may take a little longer for htc to unlock it. If you are in that much of a hurry just wait for the prime.

Not to mention that we are not sure if the version verizon gets of the prime or whatever it will be called will actually be a nexus or if it will just be an ics device. if it is not a true nexus then I would lean more toward the vigor unless it has major issues, since samsung in the us has a pretty poor track record for updating their phones here stateside.
 
Don't know how credible this is, and it's really just a rehash in a different format, but I just read this over here:
Radio Shack Internal Document Has HTC Vigor Launching October 20th Android Phones, Android Tablets, News, Tech, Gadgets And More, Thedroidguy

And it shows this:
Screen-Shot-2011-10-01-at-2.52.12-PM.png


Edit: I say different format, because someone else already posted (Han Solo, last week I think) what looks like a pic of a screenshot on a PC of this, and this looks like an actual PDF or something. Could just be a reconstructed copy/fake though.

OK, don't know who this guy is, but I just read this thread at XDA

xda-developers - View Single Post - [ROM] Nils' Business GingerSense 3.5 - GB 2.3.5 - (10/3/11 v1.4)

from a guy who just posted this:

"Wednesday HTC announces new VZW phones.

Sent by my HTC LTE 4G
Thunderbolt."

His forum name is jbh00jh and his avatar "indicates" he is associated with HTC and/or Verizon. Lots of posts from him on that site and he's a senior member, so who knows?!

Those avatars only signify that is what he has (verizon, htc) though i do hope he is right

Yeah, duh, I figured that out, but he responded to a question I asked on how he obtained info.

He said "Htc has a big meeting Wednesday and are susposed to announce some new phones. I read that on a site that I was on checking out the Htc Vigor this morning. Just google Htc Vigor release and you will see it."

I have googled several related terms and heave yet to find it.

There's an HTC event in the UK on Thursday, that guy might be talking about that instead.
