i've heard of a new sidekick that HTC will be making for tmobile. To me it looks like this phone will leave the Evo and the galaxy in the dust. Also dont go with samsung, they suck at making phones.
Anyways here are the specs:
1. Android 2.1
2. 1 GHz Processor Snapdragon
3. front facing Camera
4. 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display
5. 16 GB onboard storage.
6. HTC Expresso Sense UI

Samsung does not suck at making phones, have you even seen the i8910 Omnia HD??! That phone trumps nearly ALL the current phones specs...if it had a Hummingbird processor and Android it would slaughter everything.

And not to mention ALL the complaints pouring in about the HTC EVO 4G's crappy build...lol....Samsung has hands down THE BEST video quality on their phones, they're known for producing handsets with much better picture and video quality than the average phone.

Everyone here is just so bitter because they failed to update the software on a few of their older phones.

And I would NEVER buy a sidekick over the Galaxy S but to each his own....

:rolleyes:
 
the rumored HTC sidekick twist. suppose to have 1gig snapdragon, 16gig onboard memory, 32 gig SD capable, 4.3 amoled screen, 720p HDMI, 5 mp camera w/flash, front face camera, and qwerty keyboard.

hard choice, dont know anyone that has owned a sidekick (( old ones were not HTC)) and EVERYONE i know that has had a samsung has returned it or is constantly replacing them.

if you look at the specs, the twist is better than the vibrant. hahaha
 
Hummingbird>Snapdragon in everyday use/graphics/3D graphics and it isn't even close.

Processor is probably the most important component of a phone.

I have a Snapdragon phone. It is fast but the benchmarks of the Hummingbird processor looks as good as (or even better in some departments) the OMAP.
 
At what point will phones be considered "too big." A 4.3 in screen with a physical keyboard may be too big for me to put in my pocket comfortably. I think a 4 inch screen is pushing it when it comes to size.

The point is, the sidekick twist is going to have a dual core processor. First time seen in a phone, ever. I believe the vibrant only has one processor, hahahahahaha. Oh and did i mention android 3? i believe the vibrant will be in the shadows of the sidekick, so why buy it. This all came from a reliable source BTW.

The reason is because we have no idea when this is releasing, and who would like to hold onto a G1 or whatever they currently have just to wait for something with hardly any info about it? I'd rather get a Galaxy S and then when i'm due for a new upgrade in 2012, I can get a phone that will blow anything we currently know about out of the water.

Perhaps that is true, but the current snapdragon processor seems to be a battery hog in comparison to the hummingbird. People always claim one phone will be in the "shadow" of another or a phone killer but sometimes those claims go without merit. I want to see real world tests done on the dual core processor before I would think of buying one since the hummingbird seems pretty powerful as it is, especially in GPU benchmarks being as much as 3x better than their counterpart.
Also the twist seems freaking huge to have a 4.3 inch screen and a keyboard which will need to flip so there will be more surface area(I am assuming). The Galaxy S has the specs needed to get Gingerbread. Its rumored Google is trying to overhaul the UI so they wont need 3rd party user experiences like Sense or Touchwiz, maybe making it easier to update. Who knows. I cant keep waiting for a phone cause when that phone comes out, something better will always be on the horizon and I have a really crappy phone (krzr on BOOST! Feel my pain! I need a phone!)
It seems like a good phone, but not the type of phone i would want. I am more in the market for touch screen which is small and thin.
