THERE'S my new phone. I'll keep watching, since video showed a little sluggishness in some of the hands-ons I saw earlier today, but if it all improves, I'll be picking this bad boy up in a little while.
I'm fairly sure the sluggishness should be out the door by the time the device launches. All the HTC phones announced today use a new version of Sense, which means it's likely that there's additional optimization to be done, yet.
That's what they're saying. The Legend was supposedly running a more recent build, and word from the floor said that was positively snappy, and with less powerful hardware. I'm excited.
Can't forget the other departure from the Nexus One, it lacks the 2nd mic and the active noise cancellation that it provides. Not a big deal for most people but the active noise cancellation on the N1 has been touted as making call quality amazing.
None of HTC's flagship phones in 2010 have QWERTY. Ditto for Motorola's.
To be fair, it doesn't necessarily have to be an HTC device. I'm perfectly happy with my Samsung Moment as it stands now. But after having a slide-out qwerty keyboard (not my first qwerty phone, but the best so far) with my Android, I don't particularly want to go keyboardless ever again.
