The reincarnation of the HTC Touch Diamond.
Just beautiful.

If it's S-AMOLED, I'm sold.

I am so not sold on WP7 yet. I don't understand how a seemingly infinite single line of apps that has tiny little tiles has better usability than either Android or iOS. ]]>Aug 13th 2010 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/Aug 13th 2010 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/Aug 13th 2010 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/Aug 13th 2010 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/Aug 13th 2010 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/Aug 13th 2010 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/Aug 13th 2010 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/Aug 13th 2010 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/If you don't like the lists of apps you could always use the "Open *App*" voice command by holding down the start key. It really comes down to choice and preference. Thank god we have plenty of choice.

I don't necessarily think that a grid of icons is the ultimate mobile user interface it's just took what people thought worked on a PC and shrunk it down. At some point you have so many apps that you still end up swiping through multiple pages of icons (even if they are in a grid) or down one really long page. So either don't put a lot of apps on your phone or learn to use voice or search to open apps.

Yep, looks like it will be very easy to skin too!

I want to like WP7 but I'm starting to think that it won't deliver in UI innovation.

I think it will be nice for something different, but after staring at that UI for the past couple months... it feels the novelty of it has worn off on me already.]]>Aug 13th 2010 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/Because part of the idea behind it is that you're getting away from the wall of apps that android and iOS have.

I'd say HowardtheDuck is making a legitimate criticism, not just trolling and complaining. Like most of us tech geeks, we're into this stuff, and the small details matter. Another area of critique, for me, is with the use of screen real estate. WP7 UI looks like it needs the right hand side of the screen open in order to hint at more content to the right, and until I actually use the OS and am convinced otherwise, it seems like a misuse of valuable space. My 2 cents for now, and I look forward to hopefully be proven wrong. Peace. ]]>Aug 13th 2010 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/Aug 13th 2010 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/

HTC on design... Samsung for using Super AMOLED screens.

Differentiating factors? Well so far we've seen two handsets with physical keyboards (the LG Panther and Dell Lightning)- one's a portrait slider and the other's a landscape one. We've seen a few slates. Then there's the actual materials used (type of screen, camera(s), etc). This one and the ASUS look similar, sure, but look the other three are all quite different.]]>Aug 13th 2010 11:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/Aug 13th 2010 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/windows-phone-7-leak-mania-continues-with-new-samsung-prototype/Kinda weird when you say that when considering the lighting in that picture, it looks a lot like the Dell Lightning.]]>Aug 13th 2010 12:04PM
