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.

Shortages of Samsung’s AMOLED display have finally forced HTC to change supplier and display technology.  HTC has finally made an official announcement that the HTC Desire and global Nexus One will both be equipped with SONY’s new SLCD screens which feature VSPEC III technology. 

The new screens should offer a better experience for customers since SLCD should reduce power consumption and increase display performance when viewed in direct sunlight.  We expect HTC to make the change in production immediately, though we don’t know how long it will be before the handsets with the SLCD displays will show up in the marketplace. 

Surprisingly, HTC’s press release made no mention of the HTC Incredible, which has been struggling with supply shortages due to the Samsung AMOLED display ever since it went on sale two months ago.  We’re hoping to hear back from HTC shortly so we’ll be sure to keep you posted if we get an update from them. 

UPDATE: We just heard back from HTC in regards to our inquiry on the DROID Incredible.

Because amoled supply is being relieved on other models, we currently feel we can meet demand of droid incredible with amoled screens. Of course we may need to change our minds and add sLCD screen models should demand continue to remain high.

HTC officially moving to SLCD displays for the Nexus One and HTC Desire

HTC Introduces SLCD Display Technology To Its Portfolio

New Displays to be integrated into HTC Desire and Nexus One

Taoyuan, TAIWAN – July 26, 2010 – HTC Corporation, a global designer of smartphones, today introduced Super LCD display (SLCD) technology into a variety of HTC phones including the HTC Desire and global Nexus One later this summer. The SLCD display offers an exceptional natural balanced colour, clear contrast, broad viewing angles and improved power efficiency.

“HTC is experiencing high-demand for many of our phones, specifically our phones with 3.7 inch displays. The new SLCD display technology enables us to ramp up our production capabilities quickly to meet the high-demand,” said Peter Chou, CEO of HTC Corporation. “The SLCD displays provide consumers with a comparable visual experience to HTC’s current 3.7 inch displays with some additional benefits including battery performance.”

SLCD is the latest generation of LCD technology that offers improved performance from earlier LCD panels including approximately five times better power management. SLCDs also offer an enhanced viewing experience with wider viewing angles that are enabled by Sony’s new VSPEC III™ technology.
