Nice design! Another awesome phone HTC!]]>Aug 9th 2010 3:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/
HOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOT.
Now, this doesn't look very high-end-ish.

I'm waiting for a 4.3 inch S-AMOLED WP7 device from any manufacturer.
COMEON! Whose gonna be first to grab my money! :)]]>Aug 9th 2010 3:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/Aug 9th 2010 3:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/Aug 9th 2010 3:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/Come up with a real comment]]>Aug 9th 2010 3:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/does anyone else see what looks to be a xenon flash?]]>Aug 9th 2010 3:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/
new motif we're having! all jokes aside.. I'm excited for when these drop so I can see what the potential of Windows Phone 7 really is]]>Aug 9th 2010 3:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/
It looks like it! It also looks like they updated the design/casing of the Nexus One and went wild!

Make an Android version too and there are sure to be even more buyers! I know that I would buy this design in a heartbeat.]]>Aug 9th 2010 3:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/
Go enjoy your HTC Mozart,
while I enjoy the sexiest looking device to mankind.

HTC Gaga.]]>Aug 9th 2010 3:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/My major worries,
1. What that shininess will look like after 2 months without using a case.
2 WP7 not being a flop
Otherwise I think it's a smashing design.
The general body shape is reminiscent of the Nexus One but the styling's something totally different]]>Aug 9th 2010 3:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/Aug 9th 2010 3:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/
I agree with you on the Windows Phone 7 bit, and I really hope it does well, because this is a beautiful piece of hardware.

I think it looks rather rugged, don't you? Doesn't seem too shiny or fragile.]]>Aug 9th 2010 3:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/scratch that,
third worry, where is the micro-usb port???
Or any data port for that matter?]]>Aug 9th 2010 3:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/I think it could probably survive drops without issues. Micro-scratches like on the older iPods was ruinous though :-(]]>Aug 9th 2010 3:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/
I think HTC's blue over white looks a lot better than the other color configurations of WP7... easily the most elegant in my book.

However, it does look pretty useless compared to Android's...]]>Aug 9th 2010 3:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/
I can only assume that it's hidden in the shadows of the darker bottom half of that first shot.

We need those specs, though, that's for sure.]]>Aug 9th 2010 3:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/Aug 9th 2010 3:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/It probably won't support HDMI out, thats for sure lol.
Looks pretty decent though.
I've noticed recently though that the majority of HTC's phones
(Evo, Desire HD) (Desire and Nexus 1) are pretty reminiscent of one another. They seem to release a basic design then build as many using the general design as possible.]]>Aug 9th 2010 3:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/Aug 9th 2010 3:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/Haven't you listened to any i*hone4 users? No one uses a phone without a case!! So it doesn't matter.
Side note: I've used my droid since last nov without a case, drop it, but it never drops calls ;)]]>Aug 9th 2010 3:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htc-schubert-windows-phone-7-gets-an-aluminum-unibody-handset-t/
