Touch HD approved for US

Fuck yeah. This is my next phone. The previous version, Touch Pro, still isn't available through Sprint but is on the way. I hope the Touch HD is out by Christmas here in the states, because that will be my gift to myself :P

That is a damn nice phone. I can't wait to see Android on it.

It has a microSD slot!

I linked this phone on another thread. It's also the one I'm targeting when Sprint gets it.

with a 480 X 800 screen, how come there's no video stats listed? There's no mention at all about video at all much less or supported codecs.

It does have WinMobile 6+ so it's capable I'm sure. Wish version 7 was out.

Even if Sprint's service didn't suck here, I could never justify going back to them after some of the shady shit they did to me when I had their service, which is too bad because this phone looks pretty cool.

I don't think it will be limited to Sprint, will it?

I don't know, would be pretty cool if it's on T-Mobile but they haven't been getting too many good phones... They have the new google phone up on their page but I'm not really sold on that one.. And this DASH that I have has got to go.

Well, it did have a vendor link to AT&T as well as others, so I imagine it is not an exclusive to Verizon.

Yeah there was a link to T-Mobile I believe, but the phone isn't listed yet so I guess only time will tell.

:lol:

I was thinking something along that line but would replace texting with calling. I think I'm the only one left to use a phone to talk. Now that I have my ipod touch (and it's f'ing awesome), i'm all set w/ the video stuff.

It's not coming to the US. Sorry guys...
Update: We've received official word from HTC that they've been really overwhelmed by the "strong" demand for the HD in the States and other markets where no launch has been planned (with that insane display, it seemed like a no-brainer to us!). Sadly, due to the engineering time required to get a North American 3G version in the pipeline, they say they're better off just waiting until the next round of products launches -- hopefully with some extra bands in the radio this time, eh?
