Looks like Vietnam is the new place to be for early device leaks. A place where gadget-nerds are rapidly evolving extra digits to master their surplus of hi-tech gear -- lucky bastages. As followup to its
GSM-flavored Palm Pre scoop, site
Tinh Te is
once again showing off the
HTC Click only this time, it's a full-on video. The device sports some interesting graphics (likely customized by the owner) on the back, a microSD slot, 1100mAh battery, standard 3.5-mm headphone jack up top, camera (no flash), and of course, Android, "Donut" build 1.50.999.0 according to the device's about page. Clearly, it lacks that swank SenseUI and the LCD is much smaller than the HTC Magic -- indicators that the Click is very much HTC's
cheapo Android phone as previously rumored. See it in action just past the break.
Update: A few high-res pics of the Click
posted at Tinh Te. Sample after the break.

I blame Agent Orange!

His parents probably do, too.
Bet he's not very anonymous anymore, though.
Unless Agent Orange-caused mutations are rampant in the ranks of HTC product development.
dude, it's Vietnam... anonymous or not, just pay off the cops. no biggie.
As un PC as it is to say..I couldn't stop checking out the extra digit..Will watch again to check out the phone...
That Magic was running the Hero ROM...
wait, i'm honestly confused. Does he really have 6 fingers on one hand, or is that just like a result of the fast movement...???
someone please answer. i'm trippin out.
It's real, it's called Polydactyly. It's just a piece of bone sticking out of the original bone, no joints or anything. The extra finger or toe is usually removed soon after birth.
Not sure if it's good advertising to use this person as a hand model though, they get the attention, but I'm not sure it's the attention they wanted.
check out http://www.humanupgrades.com/ for some other additions - the 6th finger is one already there :) Maybe the wave of the future
*..*
MXY: Um what? Now that is one creepy website! Go to products -> simplicity and you'll know what I mean Oo
It is preaxial polydactyly, but in this case it is more than just extra bone. It definitely has a fingernail.
I think the extra thumb also has a true basal joint. If you look at around 5:00, it appears that there is a little movement in it. That may be due to flexing the real thumb, and not a separately controllable action.
I think I speak for some other people when I say
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
*breath*
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
*breath* *pant*
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Funny, I just read on Gullible info a quote which says that
"Due to tiny mutations in the human genome, six fingered humans will outnumber their five fingered brothers by 2412".
This is just the beginning.
nvm, i watched the whole video lol. thats soo weird. i didnt know that existed. is there like a name for that "mutation" (i guess thats what its called)?? thanks.
I think the guys right hand is getting more attention than the phone..
There was a phone in this video??
Oh how cool, a vietnamese technology review website. I am Vietnamese so i though that was something interesting.
How can anyone type on that tiny screen?
By using tiny letters.
But seriously
Magic's keyboard is already too crammed.Even iphone's keyboard which is a bit bigger can be hard to use.How is this thing going to be usable ?
Any info on screen size ? Or at least a good estimate ? I was looking forward to a cheaper android phone and this might be it !
1) error correction 2) work completion 3) landscape mode

Is it just me or did that thing take forever to boot up?
Also, why would you be in charge of hands-on review when one of your hands is distractingly abnormal. Or maybe that's a good gimmick. Let's see more 11 finger reviews.
it looks like a resistive screen to me.or maybe i need specsavers ?
Creepy.
Can't focus on the phone at all.

Inconceivable
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
Mandy Patinkin's best role until Rube on Dead Like Me.
"I Do Not Mean to pry, but You Don't by Any Chance Happen to have Six Fingers on Your Right Hand"
"Do you always begin conversations this way"
"Looks like Vietnam is the new place to be for early device leaks."
Maybe because manufacturers are moving from China to Vietnam because of cheaper labour there?
i dont care about anything in the video other than that there is FINALLY a 3.5mm headphone jack! Ill finally reconsider getting their phones again!
Just like the Magic and Hero.
I have to say that i am glad to see that there is finally an HTC with android that i in my price range (poor ).
OMG
How does Ricker post a story about this video and not even mention the fact that the guy has ELEVEN FINGERS!?
You know you're jaded when...
You know you didn't read the article text when...
The thing about evolving extra digits to use gadgets?
Yeah that's exactly what I mean.
It wasn't "OMFG This guy has 11 fingers"
It was some bullshit "joke" about growing extra fingers to use a phone.
That's jaded.
I give it three thumbs up.
that was funny... LOL
holy shit I just crapped myself from this comment.
oh shit dude im dying laughin
you deserve a high *six* for that (pardon my lame attempt for a joke)
Oh that's good! Nicely done sir!
Mhmmm.. donuts.....
When you see it, you'll shit bricks...
...that ruins my "this guy is all thumbs" line...
future texting world record holder?
May be time to rethink the "cellphone radiation is harmless" theory.
That screen looks to be under 2.8"... I'm not sure if I could type on that.
They have all phones on this website:

do you guys need some translation from vietnamese, engadget?
What is this annoying cell phone doing in the otherwise interesting thumb video?
Seriously though, it looks like a fairly well developed piece of equipment. I wonder if it would be possible through practice to get more out of it.
He gave it Three Thumbs up!
No Wi-Fi?
Did anybody notice the Magic that was in the video was running the Sense UI from the Hero?
Though it could just be rooted, though I didn't see any root specific apps when he scrolled through them.
Good thing it never get's cold enough for gloves in Vietnam.
