Leaked ROM reveals the true identify of the HTC Glacier?

Monday 18 October 2010 @ 12:05 pm
Over the past few months we have seen a few references to the HTC Glacier.  Many speculated that it would be HTC’s first Dual-core Android phone and the leaked benchmarks looked as if they could back that up quite nicely.  We don’t mean to busts any bubbles, but it looks like the HTC Glacier is [...]





Exclusive: T-Mobile myTouch HD exposed as the new myTouch 2

Sunday 3 October 2010 @ 9:18 pm

It’s not every day that we break an exclusive here at HTC Source, but today is our (and your) lucky day. Just a few hours ago, the myTouch HD was uncovered on T-Mobile’s website, but with a little more digging, we discovered a few more larger images of the handset and the phone’s real name. While we like the sound of the myTouch HD, it looks like the new handset will actually be named the T-Mobile myTouch 2. This bit of information actually comes from T-Mobile’s file naming structure for the images we found. Our digging did not reveal any new specs on the myTouch 2, though the side angle image does reveal that the phone features connection pins similar to those found on Google’s Nexus One. There’s no guarantee, but it looks like T-Mobile is planning to launch a car or desk dock for the myTouch 2.

We still don’t know when the myTouch 2 will be hitting the streets, but from what Engadget uncovered it looks like customers may be able to pick the phone up for free.

NOTE: Though T-Mobile’s website clearly states “Priced as low as FREE” our friends over at TmoNews have informed us that T-Mobile often labels handsets as being “FREE” when they have not yet been priced.

myTouch HD documents confirm front facing camera and 1GHz “dual processor”

Monday 13 September 2010 @ 10:25 am

T-Mobile customers not completely sold on the upcoming T-Mobile G2 might want to take a close look at some new details on the myTouch HD.  We’ve known for a while that the myTouch HD would be one of the most exciting Android phones this fall, but detailed specs have been missing until now.  Those hoping that this phone would feature a massive 4.3 inch screen will be a little disappointed, but the mTHD will have a 3.8 inch Super TFT LCD screen.  The phone will also feature Android 2.2, 4GB of internal memory, 5MP camera with LED flash, front facing VGA camera for video calling/chat, a 1GHz “dual processor” (whatever that is), and support for HSPA+ so you can jump on “America’s largest 4G network.”

The T-Mobile myTouch HD will certainly be one of the best Android phones on T-Mobile when it launches, though we still have a few reservations about it.  Since the phone is sporting the myTouch name, we’re expecting it will be loaded up with the Espresso UI variant of HTC Sense.  We’re also not sure what “dual processor” is trying to imply.  It would be nice if this phone did feature a dual-core 1GHz processor, but this clearly contradicts Qualcomm’s statement from last week.

New picture of the myTouch HD shows off the phone’s back side

Friday 30 July 2010 @ 11:22 am

Very little is known about the upcoming HTC Vanguard. Some were expecting it the be the G1 Blaze, but now it looks like T-Mobile’s first official phone to support HSDPA+ may be the myTouch (3G) HD. As of now, all we know about the phone is the name and what’s been revealed through the two images of the handset which have leaked this week.

The first image shows off the front of the phone which features a larger, more narrow display than the myTouch 3G Slide. Above the screen, it appears the the myTouch HD will feature a front facing camera which could be used for video calling over HSDPA+. The design elements of the phone are pretty close to those of the myTouch Slide, though the back of the handset looks to have a soft-touch, matte finish along the edge and a silver colored plate in the middle.

We expect the myTouch HD to feature at least a 1GHz processor, 5-8MP camera, Android 2.1 (maybe 2.2 since HTC seems to be rolling out the new update to many of their phones starting this weekend), and the Espresso build of HTC Sense.

Quite a few Android fans have been complaining about the lack of a powerhouse phone on T-Mobile’s network. With the myTouch HD, T-Mobile looks to be stepping up their game to compete with the HTV EVO 4G and the DROID X. Question is, does anyone here really want another myTouch phone?





HTC mytouch HD appears out of nowhere, could be the rumored HTC Vanguard

Wednesday 28 July 2010 @ 8:47 am

For a while, we have been assuming that the upcoming HTC Vanguard and HTC Vision were the same phone.  We’ve seen images of the phone in the wild along with renders.  Unfortunately, a new image that surfaced this morning has seems to contradict what we thought we knew.  Android Central has unveiled an image of a phone which they are calling the myTouch 3G HD.  Before today, there have been absolutely no rumors about this handset, but it would be that the HTC Vanguard and HTC Vision are actually two separate handsets. 

Yesterday, T-Mobile launched a teaser site for their first HSDPA+ phone.  While the page itself only revealed a silhouette of a phone, the code had the term “Vanguard” plastered all over it. Less than 24 hours later, any mention of Vanguard has been removed, but the silhouette on the site looks strikingly similar to the new image of the myTouch 3G HD.    

At this point, all we can do is speculate.  The leaked shot of the myTouch HD does feature a larger display than the recently released myTouch Slide as well as a front facing camera to the right of the speaker.  For now, that’s all we have, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted if any new information comes to light.
