That..is..gorgeous.. wow

Just after I got my heart set on the Note 2, HTC had to come along and drop this bombshell! Too bad it doesn't look like this particular devise will be making its way to the US, or at least not anytime this year. That said, this is the best looking devise I have seen in a long time, and the specs don't disappoint either.

 

[Kevin OQuinn]

Gotta admit...it's impressive. I want to see this in person.

 

[Beyond Fire]

never owned an HTC before but I would probably snatch this up if it comes to verizon...but 2020mAh battery?? I think its time smartphones don't ship with anything less then 2500. And man if this was a Nexus

 

[japhule]

The J looks very similar to some rumor pics posted not too long ago...

 

[Prinny Mask]

Dang, you beat me in posting this by four minutes.

 

[Huggie87]

I've been waiting to hear more about this phone and i love everything about it except the battery hopefully that can be changed by the time the phone reaches the US wishful thinking if not I may have to go with something else

there are always ways around battery problems. 2013 can't come quick enough

One would imagine that a LTE equipped big red version would have a slightly bumped up battle capacity... however we don't know if the SLCD3 is possibly more energy efficient than its predecessors on the Rezound and One series. Also...someone mentioned this thing will be water proof; is this true?

Hope well see this on Big Red by years end.

TAKE MY MONEY!

Wow, This is awesome. I would love to see this as a Nexus device.

this one has LTE already

this one has LTE already

How compatible is LTE globally? As I understand it Verizon, ATT and Sprint's LTE are all incompatible due to difference frequencies.

What the Nexus should have been.

 

[BPHusker]

I would consider dropping Sprint for this phone. I'm so sick of their horrible speeds and lack of 4G in my area. This phone looks like the upgraded EVO LTE in every way.

I want this phone. However, if no one is able to crack it open and put CM1x on there then I'm not interested.

Water proof phones is a popular feature on Japanese phones. I'm not sure if this feature will make it to the other variants of this phone, but it sure would be nice.

so who's LTE is this??

 

[turb0wned]

I would take this over even a Nexus any day. But this with the name Nexus in it would be even better. I hope we see a unlocked GSM version we can but and ship to the US.

 

[E_man]

I'd love to see this as a nexus, though an unlocked gsm version with cm10+ would be good enough I suppose.
