Mysterious Device Now With November 23 Launch date

[bizzshow]

So would everyone, I see a silent launch if this does come out but that's just me I would be super happy unboxing this beast would make a great early bday present for myself

 

[scififan2715]

I totally agree. Instead of creating great customizations, the devs have to first figure out HOW to customize it. It seems like Samsung will be the last major android manufacturer to make an real effort to lock down their phones. But HTC still makes superior devices. Besides, based on what I've read, we may see a permanent root on the G2, and thus the DINC HD, this week.

i read they OC'd the G2 at 1.6ghz so what do you have to reflash that kernal and root everytime your reboot your phone? that doesnt make sense.. i must be missing something.. anyone chime in?

I mainly rooted so I can have a smoother experience. The Droid 1, I found is very choppy, suffers from redraw syndrome, etc... Rooting, using a custom launcher, etc all helped this. I hope the DINC HD is so fast and has enough memory where I don't have to do all of this. Now rooting and using custom launchers allows a very personal experience. THAT, I will miss if I can't do it (well I can do the Launcher part since that doesn't require root)... so I think I'd still be willing to sacrifice rooting on this phone....

...now if only we had more tidbits on it (specs, pics, features...) then i'd know?

Stupid Verizon/HTC. If this is really coming out 23rd and I assume it will since two devices seems to have been confirmed by Miami, why don't they let some things out??? The general public does not care about this. That is 99% of their shoppers. They are still being fooled by the X's, Galaxies, and other devices that are "so six months ago"... throw us a bone and open up the can already!!!

You just answered your own question. This device, IF its as big as everyone is making it out to be, deserves the build up and hype of the D1. I cant find it now but I do recall VZWs renewal #s on contracts at this time last year took a dip as users were waiting on the droid. The general public doesn't care about this handset how could they? It hasn't been marketed to them. You don't just throw a phone with tons of $ in R&D and testing out on the market without a huge buildup. ESPECIALLY if its to be the flagship device of your new LTE network.

Would YOU spring this device on your customers with no buildup? It wouldn't surprise me one bit to see the 3G version totally canned IMO. If I was sitting on the board for this company there is NO WAY a 3g version of this phone gets released. Its simply not responsible to release a 3g version IMO. Release your flagship phone in a 3G model and then a couple months later release it as an LTE version? They're giving us the Pro this winter and i can see the Merge happening as well but I dont know how they would justify a 3G DincHD.

You don't cater to the 1% you cater to the naive 99. LOL

Honestly I think that a LOT of the frustration stems from a certain group of "sources" saying the Droid Pro was the superphone that everyone expects this to be. Remember THOSE rumors? 1.3-1.5Ghz processor, FFC, would clean your house and orally service you? Then it turned out to be exactly what I expected it to be a Professional version of a Droid with quality enterprise support.

I think you underestimating saying it is only 1%. To be honest with you, your not on the board and you have no information to support your statement example making up the 1% theory. This is why people come up with crazy speculations because peoiple like you think they have the answers and you really don't so you shouldn't speculate what the public wants nor what you think the public or the company wants. Your points are so invalid that it makes you look really ignorant. For you to assume that everyone needs 4g is just plain dumb and then to say that only 1% would want a 4g phone is even well... you figured it out..... Just stick with the facts which there are none so stop speculating and be patient. On a side note tho I think it would be smart to put out the two phones because VZW will get a lot more money for the same phone and appeal to both the fields EX Droid 2

So is this phone going to be rootable or not? That is something that might change my mind.

Droid1, CM6.

i would have to bet that it will be rooted.

It will.. the question is will it be worth it to have to reroot with every reboot.. maybe to use wifi tether but my only focus really with rooting other that ROMS was overclocking and with a 1.2 ghz processor I'm not too sure ill care to overclock it.. and ROMS will be impossible for a while if not forever on this phone if I remeber correctly.

+1... the pro was just announced, why would they release dinc two weeks later. I say 1q 2011 release date w LTE.

Just noticed that HTC is apparently holding a GDGT event on Friday in San Francisco. Maybe they'll announce the DInc HD there?

Here's hoping.

The day after merge is released (rumored release) so let's hope so

Because the Droid Pro is an entirely different form function of phone than then IncHD.

If it's been confirmed, then why is there so much speculation in this thread?

Wow...that is interesting news. Hopefully we will see something from Miami before then.

The GDGT event is a tech event and HTC is just a sponsor...I couldn't find anything stating that they were unveiling anything. Do you have any other information?

gdgt live returns to San Francisco on November 12th! - gdgt

 

[digdug1]

i think that there is much larger than 1% of vzw customers interested in 3g! especially when not all areas will be covered at launch.
the continuim was just announced officially by vzw today and it launches on the 11th. perhaps htc is better at keeping secrets than samsung.
with the biggest shopping day of the season a couple of days after the rumored launch of dinc hd i think it makes perfect sense to release this phone.

 

[Eddog4DROID]

I believe this is where we are at:

- 100% certain 3G device does exist.
- Completely uncertain on its release date.
- But can we assume well before 4G phones are announced at CES in Jan?

 

[infiniteillusions]

So is this phone gonna be able to be rooted? I apologize if this question has been answered already. Also, I have until the 22nd to return my X. You guys think I should return my X and wait for this?
