You don't have to lose the keyboard. T-Mob might still be getting the Desire Z also. Wait it out a couple weeks and see what happens. If it doesn't, get the HD, it's a great device.

Verizon scoop extravaganza: Motorola Venus with portrait QWERTY, Stingray LTE tablet, and more? -- Engadget

Motorola Venus in October. This is an interesting one -- Verizon bills it as having "BlackBerry look and feel" with a QWERTY keyboard up front below the screen, possibly mimicking T-Mobile's Charm, but higher-end thanks to a 1GHz processor and both CDMA and GSM / HSPA radios on top of Froyo.

Motorola Droid Pro tentatively scheduled for late October or early November. It's listed as having a 1.3GHz processor, Froyo, global radios, and Flash 10. We still have every reason to believe this is the phone we've been calling the Droid 2 World Edition (or Global Edition), but it's unclear whether it'll replace the Droid 2 altogether.

HTC Merge / Lexicon / Lexikon coming in late October / early November, too. Don't be fooled: all of these code names refer to the same device, and even Verizon's communication uses both "Merge" and "Lexicon" interchangeably. As expected, it's a global phone with a 1GHz Snapdragon.

LG enV Pro -- with Android -- coming in November. In all likelihood, this is the phone we referred to as the enV Touch 2 back in August. It'll maintain the enV Touch form factor and feature a 1GHz processor plus a global radio, making it the best enV (and frankly, possibly the best Android phone from LG anywhere in the world) to date.

Motorola Stingray tablet in Q1 of 2011. Now this is interesting. We'd previously thought the Stingray would be a smaller tablet, but it now seems it'll be a full 10 inches with Android 3.0 Gingerbread, 16GB of on-board storage, and Tegra 2. Oh, but that's not the best part: it'll also be "hardware upgradeable to LTE," initially launching with CDMA alone. Whether that means you'll need to purchase and insert some sort of module or something, we're not exactly sure.

That's a really good looking phone. With all these new HTC devices being released, I'm confused on the Whole Desire HD, Z, etc. thing. Isn't one of them similar to the Lexikon? Which is more or less VZW's version of the G2?

i just tried using app inventor, i was making a quiz, its kinda confusing how it'll work. i don't know if im actually developing a quiz or an app that allows people to make a quiz from their phone.

i was hoping to make a slideshow app, but there aren't any tutorials on those.

quite difficult and time-consuming.

Thats a though choice, the HD has better specs, but the Z/G2 has my beloved keyboard.

I tested both of them at the HTC event and could find no real difference in speed/responsiveness on the two.

Remember, the 800MhZ CPU in the G2/Desire Z is a newer and superior architecture than the 1GhZ Snapdragon in the Desire HD which was the same as the original Desire and Nexus One that have been out since the beginning of the year.

So with that in mind, the specs on the two aren't much different. Better camera on the HD, but 5MP on the Z is still pretty good. I'm gonna try and get a Z if I can.

That being said, the G2 looks to be more powerful. I'm no stranger to buying antiquated hardware. Worst thing ever.

I think it's safe to say buying any phone with the 1 GHz Snapdragon processor is a bad choice, even the EVO 4G at this point. Sprint is supposed to be getting bigger and better phones soon. But if you don't want to be behind the curve, it's time to look ahead to the new Snapdragon with the Scorpion.
