Whatever you do, don't ask Ringo to sign the Apple Tablet....

Shuttles have excellent PSUs. Very stable. Can take much higher drain than the eqiv full desktop PSU. I've got an SG33G6 Deluxe with quad core and 8800GT and it is whisper quiet. I would buy another Shuttle no problem.

OK, let me see if I can put this into perspective.

Yes I did see the specs.

Those specs on MeizuMe.com by Err0r state that a future version of the Mini One will have 3G/3.5G. It also says at the bottom of the specs

"Gray text = Features not included in initial release."

When I said no 3G on my first message, I meant on the first one they will release.

Meizu do make great quality products but by not including 3G WAY back when it was first announced Meizu dropped the ball. Many of those prospective purchasers got tired of waiting and went off and purchased something else.

If the M8 with its full current specs (3G, multitouch, 0.3 camera) had been released in the UK before the iPhone 3G then I would have bought one, but it wasn't.

The iPhone 3G does all I need. If people want to hold out for 3G version of the M8 then fair play to them. I hope it gives them what they have waited for.

I was thinking that over time battery technology would improve and slowly it has. That was the main driver behind "accepting" 3G on the iPhone for me.

No 3G, which is why I left this out in the cold and went for an iPhone 3G.

I bet it will blend though...

Lenovo, Lenovo, Lenovo.

When are you guys gonna talk about the iPhone???

(Disclaimer : The above statement is completely tongue in cheek)

Tri-band??? TRI-BAND???

Quad, it needs quad.

How hard is that too add?

HTC's own Touch Pro spec page :

"as many bandwidths for 3G"

I meant frequencies..

Being in the UK and travelling to the States it makes sense to have a quad band GSM phone as well as many bandwidths for 3G as possible.

Sadly the Touch Diamond and looking at the specs the Touch Pro , they don't have these.

As mentioned in another comment, HTC have put these features on earlier models.

So where does that leave me?

The 3G iPhone... sure it's quad band but limited to what Apple allow me to run on it. Sure it could be unlocked but then you still have to keep unlocking it with each firmware change. Apple you have lost a lost of custom by not making the iPhone completely open.

The SE Experia X1. From the demos it looks like a posh front end of Windows Mobile screens, hardly as advanced as TouchFlo on the Touch Diamond / Pro. Sure it's quad band but I need a good UI too.

What I need is a quad band Touch Pro with full 3G and that isn't going to be in August when the Touch Pro launches..

Any other suggestions for smartphones?

So by switching production to the 3G iPhones they are ramping up the new one and the net result is that by not making the old one, there are none...
