I think that you might find it hard to design the new HTC smartphone without actually working for HTC.
There is also a lot more to designing a phone than just scribbling a couple of ideas on paper and scanning them to FB - beware that HTC could actually sue you under the copyright and patents laws for what you've done as well.

This is just my phone concept, which by the way I sent to HTC to get their opinion on the subject. I'm a big fan of HTC and I want to support them with new fresh ideas.

Not really seeing much here. No dimensions, little care put into the line work. It's cool if you want to submit your ideas but if you want a multi-million dollar company to take you seriously you need to take your work seriously and it's clear that you didn't spend very long on this. I could shower you with candy and rainbows but I think the truth is a bit more helpful in the long-run.

Farking Facebook. I don't have one. Ah well.

This is just the beginning of work on this concept phone. These are the first drawings so please for your understanding.
Topic created in order to know your ideas for the perfect phone in your opinion.

Sorry for the FB. I sent a few drawings on the HTC page to interest people... and get their opinions.
The whole idea of this project is more fun for me so don't be so serious.
And here these first drawings:

The design is not bad. Simple, yet it keeps the HTC personality. But, the antenna placement is not practical. It's will just like iPhart 4, with the death grip. You'll just end up blocking all the antennas while holing it, in anyway you hold it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You may be right ... This design is more suitable for polycarbonate unibody case. Then the antenna can be stored in other locations.
What do you think that should be done to keep the aluminum housing?

Also, www.alibre.com. Download the free version, teach yourself. You'll get a lot more respect, and won't have to pay for something like Solidworks, which is much better, but not cheap.

Android. The theif.

Doesn't anyone find it odd that we are paying out huge sums of cash for a Linux based OS that is free to use?
Because the cost of the handset doesn't factor into it at all :face palms:
I mean they handed us a broken toy and we fixed it for them with no pay and they sold it back to us as an update, now we are fixing it up more. Hopefully when Android 114.6 rolls out some devs. will for a union of some kind and make some cash from big business instead of settling for the 2.99 that their brothers and sisters are downloading.
Next time put the bong down and think before posting.
Here's your basic argument in another context:
The internet is free so why do we spend so much money on computers to browse web pages?
You fail. Thanks for playing.

Oh, no kidding, I had totally forgotten that hardware costs money somewhere on the road to neverland .
Compare prices for free vs paid OS on the same specs. Shouldn't there be a decent difference between the two?

This is my first experience with Linux on a handset and if the developers wanna get screwed let them, forming union isn't hard we did it where I work, well we joined one but it makes everything a dev does worth money.

But who is it that decides the devs have been screwed. Is it you? I think that honor goes to each individual who bought the phone. You don't get to determine that someone else has been screwed just because your panties are in a bunch over something related to your phone.
The cost of a non open source operating system on a phone is going to be so heavily subsidized, I'd be surprised if the additional cost was more than a couple of dollars/pounds/whatever. Bottom line is that you're just paying for the device whichever route you take.
Also consider how long android has been out, it is definitely the quickest maturing mobile platform around. Anyone remember the state wm was in at this age?
Edit: I think the developers would rather be "screwed" as you put it in order to bring about progress in a timely manner. That's what open source is all about!

First off, that's a toaster I want.
Second off, you're absolutely right. It's not about the money, it's about taking your phone to the next level and being able to say you were the one who got it there first. I and thousands of others have nothing but respect for these developers and a lot of us give them both props and donations for their work. I'm sure the donations are nice, but I doubt there are many devs on XDA who started writing ROMs and compiling kernels because they thought it would make them rich.
Don't understate the motivational power of random people coming into your thread to say "Your work is awesome, keep it up, and how cool would it be if it did this too?" For some people the respect is all they need, since genuine respect can't be bought, it can only be earned.

Id rather have 1000's of people thanking me for my work than a few £100 in the bank if i was a dev....

Android fan boy reviews pathetic aplpe line up

heres my blog guys
i write stuff from time to time and if its tech related ill share it with u guys,
let me know what u think
jut a bio, im an android fan boy and u can find me in the x10 forums
http://moose.frazer.co.nz/
I see that you absolutly LOVE the new lineup.
Always good to read positive reviews.
Steve Jobs.
It's funny...If Apple didn't make these products, you'd have a pretty boring blog.
Stop hatin. Just enjoy your phone, and let that be enough to you. I don't like Apple, because they have screwed me personally. But all this "I hate Apple because I have an Android phone" fanboy-ism is just so damn annoying.
That's just my 2¢
I have to say the iPod Nano in my opinion is a step backward, Multi-touch on a screen that size with my thumbs isn't gunna work so well
It so funny how Steve Jobs stated that people loved buttons on previous iPod shuffle, so Apple brought them back. Few minutes later he announced iPod nano without buttons but with small, nearly unusable touch screen. Plus they also remove camera and somewhat good display.
Apple finally did it. They made iWatch with iPod functionally
lol iWatch..
I have yet to see some people walking around with their headphones plugged into their watches...
and nice blog
I actually also blogged on this the other day. Link here.
I'm no Apple fan either, but it seems I'm no match for your hatred of Apple...
Btw, I'm actually quite impressed with the new Nano. For those who use Nike+, it's perfect.
If you're phone is better, and you know it, shouldn't that be enough?
Just food for thought...

btw @ op blog i lol'd
Yeah, but if you're doing it JUST to fit in, or for the sole reason that you have the competitor's phone, it gets old FAST.
I take it as trying to show off, "Hey, look at my blog, I hate Apple too!"
It's the internet, so do what you want. I just don't see why there needs to be a thread about it.
Isn't a review suppose be of things you actually have tried your self to even be considered a review? so this is actually just you opinion on pictures and press release. but you are entitled to your opinion just don't call it review before you tried it.
I personally will not get any of those new devices.

I thought of that too. But before that world comes to fruition, we would have had to solve the "energy crisis", which is going to take a reasonable amount if time, hence allowing a time span which enables an improvement in security systems.

looks amazing but as said before energy and durability are going to be significant problems in this future.

I have been going by "mznatnat" for a little while now and most of my screen names are just that. I'm thinking of creating a new screen name to put on my photoshop pieces but IDK what it should be??? I have been thinking about it for a while now but nothing comes to mind. So screw it.... I'm going to turn to the XDA members to help me. You guys are creative when it comes to roms and themes, maybe you guys can help me create a name I could use permanently.
Please no profanity. I don't mind if its funny, its something that I like. But no pig'ish suggestions please.
Need some kinda info or interests to be able to help with a name that would suit you.

[REQUEST]Apple vs. All timeline?

Hey all,
Recently I have been researching the big hub-bub going on where Apple is suing everyone in sight (my poor attempt at humor). Next thing you know, the guy that invented the Slinky will be getting a subpoena to testify for Apple. I have been VERY busy with the crazed thing I call a life and need a little help here. I am not very delved deep into this massive debate going on between Apple and Google, Samsung, HTC. The thing I request is a "timeline" to loosely term it. Don't automatically discount me as some "lazy" person. I just need the expertise of someone with their nose in this doggy doodoo pile, so to speak. I don't really ask for much, but I haven't followed the battle since the start so my ability to effectively chronologically order the major lawsuits and actions taken by all sides is next to nil. I don't need anything fancy, hell a text file written with Notepad will do, as long as the information is FACTUAL and ordered correctly. If you feel like composing a flashy Powerpoint then by all means do so, but it's not needed. The major points will be elaborated upon and condensed in a 15-20 page Powerpoint by me. Anyways, back to work since my professors getting on my a** about being on XDA.
Thanks, worldindo1.

Well since the OP hasn't come back to see if any donkeys would do his work for him, I'll post my original response.
