I don't see the benefit of HDMI out on a phone, can some one enlighten me?

I thought maybe streaming movies to your TV from online, but there are much better options like a networked media tank, HTPC, or DVR. Then what if you need to take a phone call or answer a text? Get up and go look at your phone?

Then I thought maybe just to quickly look at your 720p videos w/ family. But it'd be much more streamlined to upload to youtube and then share. Plus you would think Google would want to incorporate a streamlined youtube upload since they own youtube of course and youtube does HD video.

Can't think of anything else.

I see your point and yeah it's pretty hard to think of any other reason for the HDMI out, BUT (speculation) since this is a WIMAX capable phone, I would imagine it being able to broadcast a live video chat to a whole room? Don't laugh...just imagining

Might be the first time in my whole life I'll ever say this:

I WISH THIS WEEKEND GOES BY FAST! I CAN'T WAIT TILL NEXT WEEK!!

Yeah I'll never say that again in any other context :)

Haha... well, you got a laugh out of me, Cary. Thanks and have a good weekend. Hope you don't lose too much sleep. :D
 
It's bittersweet for me...Sprint finally announces the SS next week but my spring break is also over :( hopefully the SS will be enough to cheer me up haha.
 
I noticed that stleber - post# 47 (the guy that posted this picture) never came back into the forum after posting it. That got me to wondering, so I looked at his profile. As it turns out, he registered, made this post and that was it.

I've seen a lot of reviews on the Internet about the Supersonic, but never saw this picture before. When I look at it, I don't think it's a fake picture. I think it's the real thing. Do you think stleber came in here just to throw us a bone? We may never know, but it certainly looks real to me.

Edit: Stleber, if this picture is real, I want to thank you for it.

Its a computer generated render obviously, but its 100% real as in thats what it actually looks like.
 
I know this phone is better than the HD2 hardware wise, but damn I just LOVE the sense 2.5 UI on the HD2. The way everything has huge buttons and you can just slide your finger across the bottom to get quick access. I love how the picture album is set up, and the animated weather on the homescreen. It makes android look boring as hell in comparison :( I wish it were possible to use this interface on the supersonic

I was enthralled with this phone for awhile, mostly because of the big screen and 1GHz Snapdragon, but I'm certain people are going to like the Supersonic a lot better than the HD2. Let's wait to see the demonstrations next week before we decide.

If you really want to see the new Sense UI in action, look for HTC Desire videos on YouTube. I think you'll be impressed with it.

I agree - I wouldn't be too surprised if that is exactly it.

Will do, thanks. Another huge issue im having with switching from my iphone (which I cant stand currently) is the lack of medical apps. Its ridiculous. Im a third year medical student and there are a good 8-10 apps that I NEED to have. The appstore has probably >1000 medical or health related apps, and from browsing my friends androidmarket on his droid, it was embarassing how few there were.
 
some examples:
epocrates
medscape
medical eponyms
MIM
Medical Calc
Frank netters anatomy flashcards (this one is very very important)
 
I've been looking for videos of the HTC Desire which was announced last month at MWC. The Desire has Android 2.1, 1GHz Snapdragon and a 3.7" AMOLED screen with the latest version of Sense.

I'm only showing this, because it's very close to what the Supersonic will look like. I've seen better videos which I might post later, if I can find them again.

I think you have to pay for most of the good medical apps, but that's an area where we should be seeing more.

can that hideous rainbow colored background be changed? :D

ps: you're right, this interface is pretty nice as well
 
Oh sure. That is one of the moving backgrounds, but you can also use static pictures. Since you can't please everyone, it's nice that you can customize the phone.
