Noah Answers Your Questions - When can I have the Touch HD?

Posted on Wednesday, October 01, 2008
by Noah Kravitz , Editor in Chief, PhoneDog Media, Follow me on Twitter

Q.Hey Noah, Love the work that you do. I was just wondering if you heard any whispers when the Touch HD will be coming to the US and if so which carrier. From the stuff I've seen I love it but if the wait is too long (say over 6 months) I'll just settle for the Touch Pro. Thanks!

A. I'm amped up about the Touch HD, as well. So far there's no word - or even whispering - about a US carrier.

I know HTC is interested in bringing the phone to the US and will do so at least in an unlocked version, but that won't be until sometime in 2009. What I can tell you is that over the past year or so Sprint has been getting most of the HTC phones first in the US - Touch, Touch Diamond, and (coming soon) Touch Pro all went to Sprint first. So if I had to bet I'd put my money on them. Although T-Mobile is going to be stepping it up with the launch of their 3G network, and they don't have an iPhone/Instinct/Dare all-touch device yet. Maybe Touch HD on T-Mo? You never know. I'll keep you updated on the site as soon as I find anything out.

Samsung Omnia launching December 2nd at $200

Samsung Omnia II coming 12/2

Shown at CTIA Fall last month (check out our video here), we knew the Samsung Omnia II was coming to Verizon at some point, but dates were a bit of a mystery. According to leaked documents obtained by Engadget Mobile, the device will launch in all channels on December 2nd with Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional (thank heavens, since Windows Mobile 6.1 was installed at the convention). Besides that, it will sport the features that were...

Nokia N900 drops to $480 on Amazon

Nokia N900 drops to $480

I'll admit - I was considering the purchase of a Nokia N900 to carry in the ol' arsenal of wireless devices, until I saw the price. Even as a certified wireless junkie, $649 is a bit too much for me (hey, I need to pay the rent first). I haven't been this excited about a Nokia device in quite some time, thanks to Maemo 5. The name of the game seems to be social networking, and from my limited time with the N900 at CTIA, it...

What up, Droid?

Things have gotten so crazy in the word of Android over the last month or two that it can be difficult at times to simply keep up with a single day's news. And while Aaron, Adriana, Noah, and now Sydney have got you covered on the PhoneDog front, we thought a weekly summary of current Android events was in order. Somehow, taking a look back at the rumors, leaks, launches, and reviews of the week has a way of putting things into perspective. And...

First Impressions: BlackBerry Curve 8530 (Verizon Wireless)

First Impressions: Curve 8530

One day before its retail launch, UPS delivered Verizon Wireless' BlackBerry Curve 8530 to my doorstep. I've been working with it all morning, and as the replacement to the Curve 8330, I'm very pleased with it. It's a needed stepping stone in the BlackBerry line, and I'm excited that it's joining the ranks at Verizon (with Sprint getting it soon). Admittedly, I was a bit upset that I didn't get the "smoky violet" color. Just...

Palm Pre drops to $79.99 with new agreement, challenging Pixi

Palm Pre drops to $79.99

While the Pixi's price point has been dropping and dropping some more, the Pre has remained above the $100 mark. Bucking the trend, Amazon has lowered the Pixi's older brother to $79.99 on a new two-year agreement (not to mention a waived activation fee, saving you $36). With the gap diminishing between the two webOS handsets, I imagine most will opt for the Pre due to the increase in processing power. Sure, there are some...

AT&Ts loses request for injunction; releases anti-Verizon commercial

AT&T releases 3G commercial

Magnet board + empty warehouse + Luke Wilson = effective commercial? You be the judge. Earlier today, AT&T's request for an immediate injunction on the Verizon "There's a Map for That" commercials was denied, though the judge referred to the ads as "sneaky." Apparently, most people are so zoned out when they're watching TV that they may not notice that Verizon is targeting AT&T's 3G coverage (or so the judge thinks). One...

Not to be forgotten, Nokia E72 hits the shelves

Nokia E72 launches

A winner at CTIA earlier in the year the Nokia E72 has officially launched. Though it's still showing as "pre order" status on Amazon's website, the S60-powered device has launched for €350 ($469 at Amazon). Sporting 10.2 Mbps HSDPA connectivity, 5.0-megapixel autofocus camera, 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD slot (4GB included in the box), A-GPS and integrated compass, and a trackpad, the E72 is a worthy successor to the...
