New HTC phone, The juicy delicious Touch Pro Options

[impala454]

HTC (maker of the pocket pc phones that sprint & verizon use), is supposedly coming out with a new one this september, codenamed "raphael". thing looks kick ass, this is the only known picture of it so far:

looks way thinner than the current model, the mogul. 2.8" screen with friggin 640x480 res, 3 megapixel camera, full slide out kb just like the current model has, and WM6.1. this sucker will be my next phone.

the sluggishness is a lie, although i do reccomend tweaking the cache for touchflo (not an issue if you don't use touchflo at all), and the phone is actually very slim, in my opinon. it's no RazrV3, obviously, but it's the smallest smartphone that isn't an iphone. for a phone with a keyboard it's about as small as it's gonna get. plus the way it's designed kinda fools the eye into looking smaller. you really have to just see one in person, and the demo units don't count, they're all tied down with so much steel bolting them to the display that it just doesn't convey right.

And the processor is just fine. runs 528mhz default.

Only issues i have are the battery, which rumors on the ppcgeeks/xda-dev(i forget which) forums say that new radio firmware will be fixing soon, not to mention i'm sure we'll see plenty of extended life batteries coming out soon, and the headphone jack (both earbuds with the special connector and an adapter dongle are included, but yeah, there's not much that doesn't irk me on that)

I have noticed that the battery seems to need a good burn-in time or whatever you want to call it.a few good full-charge/discharge cycles really seem to make a difference.
