[citation][nom]johnh2005[/nom]Oh, and watch the video at about 1:45 seconds remaining is where the guy says he called the iPhone and it never rang...[/citation]
Wow... How can any phone, smart phone or not win at all if the phone call did not go through? Reliable calling is a primary thing I look for in a phone, if a phone can't reliably let calls in or make calls it's out of my comparisons period...

@Camikazi

Yeah another Apple win, making a phone that's not very good as a phone. Just gloss it over with style and a slick interface and no-one will care...Wait a minute, weren't microsoft blasted by Apple for years over releasing OS's that weren't very good at being OS's for years?!?!

Looks like Apple is going for the Microsoft crown :) lol

I hope something like this comes out for T-Mobile. Don't get me wrong the HD2 looks absolutely sexy, but I think I'll wait for the fall to see what they come up with for windows phone 7, then probably just end up getting an android phone.

My only problem is sprint. If you dont travel and live in 1 of the three places that get 4g reliably, I'd get this. But at that point why bother? Use a laptop since you obviously never go anywhere any way. Sprint is a joke carrier. They dont even cover all of the San Francisco area, not to mention the space between MAJOR cities.
That said, if this device ever comes to a non-suck carrier I'd be first on the line to grab it up. But by the time it does, it's gonna have its ass handed to it by the newer faster offerings from either Intel or ARM with dual cores and what not. As such, I deem this phone - FAIL.
As to 4G, 700-1200kbit is fast enough for my phone uses, so 4g is moot. I'll keep Verizon.

Just curious but do you even live in the Bay Area? I'm on Sprint now, live in Walnut Creek, go to school in Pleasant Hill, and frequently spend my free time in SF, and I've had nothing but excellent service with Sprint. Verizon does have "better" coverage I'm sure, but where? I have yet to run into anywhere that I don't get 3G coverage from Sprint and my bill is vastly cheaper in comparison with any other carrier.

4G is next generation, it should be with all carriers in about a year or so. Give it a break

Now I have to check out sprint. Seems the carrier is well vetted in this thread. Usually people are complaining about service providers. Phone looks pretty awesome. My problem is I'd never fully utilize it's potential.

Funny, I live in Vegas, visit friends in SoCal and my family is in West Texas. I travel between these areas regularly and rarely lose the signal. I have been with sprint for over twelve years and thier service keeps getting better, not to mention, prices are great and I can upgrade my phone every year. Maybe you should take another look.

Two days ago I was at a local Radio Shack in the Phoenix, Arizona area. I was looking for an indoor HD TV antenna for a friend. I noticed one of those documents for the HTC by the Sprint cellphone section. I'm not up to date on smart phones so I had no idea what it was but the screen looked cool.
