HTC HD7?

Holy technological crap! HTC have set their minds on building a computer-phone. If this proves to be true, I'm so switching to WindowsPhone....Amazing specs on this baby, 1.5Ghz proc, 1Gb of both ROM and RAM, 8MP camera capable of HD filming, HDMI port and so on...I'm sold. If only battery life would be good. Hope I don't jinx it.

The Mobile Phone Craze

I wasn't going to write anything about this. Ever. But the recent fuzz about the Google phone determined me to do it.I hate it when people get overexcited about stuff. Its weird. :-P

I can't believe how gullible some people are. And how the manufacturers are just playing with the customers. Launching tons of new devices, none of them being a true smartphone, but kinda-smart phones.

What do I mean by that? Well, we have cameraphones, like Samsung Pixon, Sony-Ericsson Satio and so on, we have business phones, like Blackberry and competition, trendy phones, Apple's IPhone (which I think is overhyped) and the recent Google Phone. Ah, every nerd's dream. The Google-HTC offspring, much awaited, coveted, much ado about nothing. Really, it's just a damn phone. Grow up!

I may seem pissed, but let me explain. Follow me here. Don't you want a phone that can do it all? Talk on it, it's most obvious function, be able to listen to music.take quality photos and film in HD, have a GPS, AMOLED display, an additional camera for video calls, RDS radio, GPRS, EDGE, 3G, Wi-Fi, Wi-MAX and all possible sorts of connectivity plus all the neat apps and functions that such a machine would/should carry. And also, very important features as well, a Great battery life, that would allow you to exploit it without having to carry a charger around and impressive internet browsing support.

Hope I didn't miss anything. Oh yeah, the OS. I really don't care as long as the OS doesn't lag.

So, this is how I imagine it. My mobile fantasy (or delerium?). The Genius phone:

- 1Ghz proc or greater with dedicated graphs

- 4.0 inch display or greater

- all 2G/3G networks

- capacitive AMOLED touchscreen

- proximity sensor, accelerometer, handwriting recognition, a full QWERTY keyboard (or not)

- a whopping 32GB of internal storage plus microSD slot ;)

- GPRS, EDGE, Wi-Fi, Wi-Max, Bluetooth, Infrared (just in case)

- USB/microUSB, 3.5 millimeter jack (good thins Son-Ericsson are starting to see the error of their ways)

- a 12MP camera (I would settle for 8, but since I've seen that 12 is possible, why not), with all the goodies, geotagging, dual LED flash, etc, but without optical zoom. Leave that to the real cams.

- GPS with preinstalled maps for your area (or the whole world, at 32GB, you wouldn't feel it).

- all the possible internet connectivity, Pocket Office (not just doc viewer), full flash, JAVA etc...you know the drills.

 

I know, I'm day (actually evening) dreaming, but a phone like this would certainly be nice. The only phone you'll ever need. :-)

The only problem would be the price tag. It would clock very high. Somewhere around 800 Euros. But then again, it's not just a phone, it's a phone-camera-MID hybrid. I think it would be worth it.

Let me know what do you think.
