Gorgeous, mysterious, EVO-ish HTC device headed for Verizon

[Quicksilver7714]

I've never had HTC. Can I expect quality on par with Moto? Can a blanket statement be made about the expectation to root and possibly ROM HTC vs. Moto? I've been spoiled by the openness of my Droid 1 which I understand is not the norm for Moto of late.

Finally will there be/can there be any specs for the Moto T2 that make the comparison uneven and throws the balance in its favor?

Thanks for your opinions.

HTC devices are great. I love the evo I am using now but want it on Verizon's network. The evo is rootable. I'm not sure if this upcoming phone will see the same openness as the Droid. All the manuefactures as of late seem to be locking down their phones. The new g2 is supposed to be locked as well.

Kinda does, but this has HTC Sense branding, which WP7 doesn't and wont have. Also, the four touch sensitive indicate Android as WP7 only has three.

I know exactly which phone your talking about but the wp7 phone has the kick stand built over the camera and speaker area. When I get to a pc I will find the pics and post them for comparison to this phone and the evo.

Similar to desire HD and WP7 HD. Just an alteration. I have heard that the kickstand on windows phone doesn't sit flush and has a plastic mechanism. I hope they don't change this from the leaked photo.
As far as build quality goes between moto and htc: I personally think moto's build is sturdier and more refined. I am not a fan of the plastic that goes into an htc device. They are improving with each phone though. This is just MY preference, so don't flame me people. I plan on getting this phone anyways. I have had a few moto's and the D1 and D2. I am very happy with the builds, but also don't like the weight and the edges are a little sharp for me. It's really just up to you in the end.
good luck

Pics miami?

I was at a Verizon store the other day checking out Droids & they told me about this phone & said it will be out sometime around November 24th! My guess is Black Friday! I hope it is true that means I'll only wait two weeks after my contract is up to get my hands on this baby! I was told that it will have a front camera like the iPhone (speaking of which I was told AT&T signed with Apple for another year, who cares lol) & have pretty much all of the apps iPhone has. I'm definitely waiting for this!

I laugh at this. First off, they know nothing. Until they are informed. Maybe the iPhone is coming to Verizon or maybe not. NOBODY (except the apple devs and such) knows!!! And no phone except the iPhone has all of the same apps. The person you talked to at Verizon doesn't know what he is talking about.

Can't wait!!!!!!!! As a veryyy loyal original Droid user, I can safely say that if this baby is all it's cracked up to be, it WILL be my next phone!!!!

I am sorry if this has been asked already, but is it safe to assume this phone will utilize Verizon's 4G network?
