Mysterious Device Now With November 23 Launch date

Anyone know if the 3G version will still have the front facing camera? Or are they stripping it and saving it for the 4G version?

Anyone know if the 3G version will still have the front facing camera? Or are they stripping it and saving it for the 4G version?

Hopefully we will find out soon. After weeks of anticipation I suspect we will see something along these lines:

Nov 2010:
3G HTC Incredible HD
4.3 Inch Screen
No Front facing camera
1-1.5ghz processor (hopefully more than 1ghz but who knows)
Essentially a version of the Desire HD built exclusively for VZW
$199.99 with a two year contract

March 2011
LTE HTC Incredible HD (officially announced at the CES in January)
4.3 Inch Screen of higher resolution than the 3G model (again - a guess)
Front facing camera
1.5ghz processor
Essentially a 2nd generation EVO but for Verizon
$249.99 with a two year contract

Again - these are just guesses...I don't have the same connections as Miami - but enough has been said in these forums and chats and on twitter to begin to put the pieces together.

Personally I don't put much stock in the front facing camera. I think it is overrated on smart phone. I have one on my iMac and Macbook pro...and that serves all the needs I have for Facetime and Skype.

I just hope that Verizon launches a 3G version of this phone this month. If they don't - I will be seriously disappointed.

Hopefully Miami comes through for us this week. It seems like based on his comments that this might finally be the week that we hear something concrete. I am tired of the guessing and speculation. I am ready to buy this phone!!!

yeah, but remember the dinc hd will likely only go to corporate stores in the first place dude. Remember the Droid X? It was a week or two before the rest of the stores got those phones, as corporate stores always get first round action on new high profile devices.

I hate this, no corp. store within a hundred miles of me. Probably no 4G for quite a while either so if there are two of the speculated versions, I would be opting for the 3G variant.

If these specs turn out to be accurate, I may just buy a dinc on ebay and wait for the 4G.

I do clearly see the ffc in those early pics. So your saying the supposed 3G only model will have it?

 

[bd1212]

Guys, remember, the FFC was in the picture, BUT those are pics of EARLY hardware. A lot can change in the final version, so no one will know until later this week, most likely, if it has a FFC or not.

 

[H412D]

Why would they put a FFC on a early model that was supposed to be a 3g phone and then just take it away later? I'm very sure it will have one, but it will just work over WiFi.

Idk for sure but having no hdmi, kickstand and ffc. That will make me really think about this, or atleast I think it will.......

If they release a 3g version with no ffc or hdmi, then what's the selling point for the common person to choose this over the droid x? A lot of people don't actually know or wonder about the insides of the phone, they're more worried about the outside looking style/features than the cpu/gpu etc.

Personally, I'd love to have a ffc, whether it be wifi only or 3g. I feel that i'd get use out of it.

Speaking of cameras: If it's possible to video chat on phones, is it possible to stream live video from the phones video camera to the internet? A quick google search got me nothing.

Yep, thats what makes this phone trump the Droid X. HTC wouldn't release a competing phone thats worse than other similar phones of another brand.

Test fitting? Like in some older automobiles, they would be wired for additional options but missing the extra goods. My vehicle was wired for A/C through the dash, but was not fitted with the compressor or condenser. Same chassis, but "upgradeable". This would fit with the theory of an early 3G/no FFC, later 4G w/FFC without the added expense of another shell, just internal components.

 

[FootballBanker]

VZW might strip down the 3G version so when the 4G version is released it will have tons of "extra" goodies that the 3G doesn't have. This will make the people that buy the 3G version want to buy the 4G thus spending more money with VZW and get more customers to come to VZW for the top of the line phone.

I'm going to compare this with the Merge and other phones out there and decide if it is really worth all the time and effort spent tracking it. Like someone was saying earlier, this will basically be a better looking Droid X if it is stripped down. I really hope they give us at least the kickstand and FFC. I will use the FFC over wifi dancedroid

True, but I still believe they wouldn't take it away. It's a HUGE selling point that gives this phone an advantage over all the other current high end devices and VZW and HTC knows it.
