What phones are coming...

    Guys,

    what new and exiting phones are on the way? I currently have a htc hero and have resisted the urge to get a desire and a galaxy S.

    Now since I have gotten out of my contract with Meteor I need to get something new...what is on the horizon to be released or should I just plump for Galaxy S?

    Cheers

    Sony are rumoured to be releasing an Android phone by the end of the year that will also be a PSP. I have my eye on that....

    I also have my eye on this, but depends on the final specs and whether Android 3.0 could be put on it when it is releasd.

    keep dreaming of the PSP Android as well as ginger you wont see them on actual phones for half a year or more in my opinion...

    closest to honeycomb we will get will be by going to xda...

    look how long it took for HTC phones to get froyo...

    how long will you think it will take for a reformed OS?

    There is a project underway to get Android ported over to the Samsung GT-S8500 aka Wave handset.... The handset itself is incredibly luscious and sexy! Well worth it....

    Well if you like rumours, those for the Galaxy S2 sound mouthwatering. I have to wonder about the battery. Sounds to me like it would need a 2.2-3 amp battery.

    They better include a bluetooth wireless game controller, otherwise I can't see the point of that much grunt in a phone.

    Samsung next smartphone is going to break all smartphone trends and standards. The Samsung Galaxy S2 will come with a resolution which is mainly used on computers, the 1280×720 pixels on a 4.3 inch screen will blow iPhone Retina Display and surpass any other smartphones currently available in the market.
    Spec wise also Samsung Galaxy S2 is much advance and is reported to include:
    • 2GHz processor (possibly a dual-core architect)
    • 1GB of RAM
    • 4GB of ROM
    • 32GB of built-in storage
    • an 8-megapixel camera with full HD video (1080P)
    • Bluetooth 3.0, WiFi up to N
    • an accelerometer accompanied by a gyroscope.
    The latest Android 3.0(Gingerbread) will run this monster phone from Samsung. There are no official statements from the company and all above specs are speculations.

    Holy moly crappers! That's darn monstrous.... Wow!!!!! What's the price tag on that???? O__o frickn awesome....

    Well in fairness, Samsung Wave has Bluetooth 3 and Wifi up to N draft....but yeah.... if that rumour holds to be true, that is gonna blow every other mofo handset out of the waters....

    i dont believe such a thing could come out any time soon...end of next year maybe it could be in development..it just looks like a concept made my some one


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 200 ✭✭Why Should I


    i dont believe such a thing could come out any time soon...end of next year maybe it could be in development..it just looks like a concept made my some one

    Why not.

    I was reading a press release two weeks ago, It was about the 1.5 ghz Duel core snapdragon CPU's already shipping.

    As for the rest of the spec. The hardware is there, its just a matter of "Will they"
    Now all we need is some of them :D

    I agree, I get the distinct smell of wishful thinking there.

    their not shipping yet...their due to be finished soon...think their getting shipped in September if all is well...

    it just sounds as a concept...theres plenty of these on XDA...beautifull looking concepts...but no way making them come through...

    something like this

    The Dell Thunder's specs caught my eye when searching:

    Still only "rumoured" though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,277 ✭✭✭evolutionqy7


    this has been rumoured on my websites...tbh probably will go out there..though its probably more for the US market...not sure how i find myself using a phone that is manufacturer that makes pc's :) not a fan of dell...kind of an acer person but i dont think i would find myself using an acer phone either :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,916 ✭✭✭RonMexico


    I have an Acer Liquid and it is one hell of a great phone.

    Lamborghini used to make tractors. Now they just make specialised vehicles for making holes in hedges.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,277 ✭✭✭evolutionqy7


    i like the way you described lambo lol :)

    but you know what i mean :) they should have picked a diff name...especially as acer is know as the most unreliable pc maker brand (even though its the only one i ever buy :D )...

    how many of you would love to drive vw Bugatti? :) but they changed it to veyron cause people dont want the beetle associated with the fastest car in the world :)

    i want a phone with HD2 capabilites...hdmi output/8 mp+ camera/4.3" SuperAmoled/SLCD and 5800 XM sound quality stereo speakers :)

    The HD2 hasn't even one of those features.. :confused:


    Personally, i'm waiting for either the PSP phone OR the one Motorola are touting for release before the end of this year. A Dual core 2GHz OMAP CPU (:eek::eek::eek:) head lining the specs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,277 ✭✭✭evolutionqy7


    well its bigger brother evo has it...minus the sound quality...and i said hd2 capabilities :) how.can the hd2 not have that. ill just wait for the new qualcomm chips :)

    do you think we will get the motorola...they wont release it here prob...none of the droids were... tbh right now i dont see the point of buying a new high end smartphone cause i wont buy nothing.but a new shell and prob a better screen...not worth it...

    The PSP Android phone looks like it could be something else!

    Should be with us end of year or first quarter next year.

    Hardware is starting to be really pushed now too and with 2Ghz chipsets on the way we could be in for some tasty devices in 2011 :)

    plenty of Android devices out there too its just that operators in Ireland aren't carrying them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,277 ✭✭✭evolutionqy7


    yeah but with the 2ghz chips and a demand for mobile phone gaming comes with the question about battery life...

    years after were still using the same batteries which sturggle with even 1Ghz processors and 4.3" screens...now u wanna get bigger cpu and gpu...hows that gonna affect it?

    as was rumoured before these pics were shown and many said that this was going to be the desire z...now its G2? confused :confused::confused::confused::confused:

    and lol speak of the batteries XDA came up with a topic for that too :D

    click under :)

    Battery Stand Still

    and probably the answer to my own question :)New Battery Alternative but guess it will be a while till we see something like this
