Has the HTC Vision been confirmed yet?

Not officially, but I hear an announcement is imminent.

Yeah I've heard that as well.. just checking with you guys to see if you've heard anything different.

Do you think the Vision will be better or about the same as the Galaxy S?

Better. It's essentially a 4G phone as it can utilize the new HSPA+ networks, assuming you live in a coverage zone. If you're in that zone you'll get 21MBPS speeds, which is insane.

Of course, the Galaxy S Pro (Epic 4G) on Sprint is 4G also, so....

It's also possible the Vision may have a 1.2 GhZ processor which may be dual-core. That's obviously not confirmed right now though, so who knows.

Rumors right now suggest that T-Mobile's next powerhouse phone may be the HTC Glacier though. There may be some convergence between the specs of the Vision and the Glacier....just gotta wait and see.

HTC's dual-mode CDMA / GSM Android slider with 1.2GHz CPU headed to Verizon in 2011? -- Engadget

It's not expected to land at Verizon until sometime in 2011, but it's never too early to take a look at an unannounced Android slider with specs like this. Leaked by Androidswag, the device is purportedly hiding a 1.2GHz processor (would that be dual-core?) beneath that 4-inch display -- the sweet spot for size and pocketability. The prototype pictured above was apparently sporting a Vodafone SIM card making this a pretty bodacious CDMA / GSM worldphone by the time it lands for retail. Of course, anything, or everything, could change by the time this pup is ready for launch and we'll be here covering every step of its journey. Two more shots after the break including a size comparison with the EVO 4G -- a few more at the source link below.

Except of 4G the Galaxy S seems to be better. Vision will have a TFT LCD screen of a smaller size. Galaxy S has an awesome 4 inch S-AMOLED screen.

Also if someone doesn't really need a super fast internet on the move I think that 4G is not necessary.
I even have 3g turned off on my phone.

EDIT: Never mind

The Vision will have a faster processor and likely more RAM.

I rely on having superfast internet wherever I am. If I go out of 3G coverage areas it pisses me off. Especially when I need to use my laptop because I rely on 3G for tethering. Tethering on 2G is impossibly slow.

Most of the awesome Android features rely on having 3G speeds IMO. Things like Google Goggles, Navigation, Places, Latitude. I even update multiple blogs with the WordPress app from my phone sometimes. I like to use ShopSavvy in stores and Shazam when I'm in a club or in the car and I want to know what song is playing. I store some files on DropBox and my FTP servers which I can access through my phone if I need to. If I need to share a DropBox folder with someone I can do that wherever I am. I use the eBay apps when I'm out and about also.

According to GSMArena it's going to be a 1ghz single core.

Yeah, different needs I guess. Most of the time there's some free wifi hotspot whenever I need the internet and in emergency cases like checking out weather, browsing the web, reading the news and such 2G EDGE is fast enough - actually it's hard to spot a significant difference between 2g and 3g in these cases. So the only difference between 3g and 2g to me is that 3g drains battery faster. I was to download bigger files from the net obviously I'd have 3G on. But I don't. Whenever I download something I do so over wifi and most hotspots are faster than even 4G.
Also our internet pricing suck balls - I would have to pay 5$ for 20MB lol.
Maybe that's why I use my phone that way.

This is just rumor.... I have a feeling that it will be more than that.

Unless (which may be possible) - the Vision was intended to be the high-range device for T-Mobile, but has now been superceded by the Glacier, making the Vision a more "Upper Mid-Range" device.

We'll just have to wait and find out.

Anyway, here's a leaked photo of what might be the new "HTC Desire HD" aka "HTC Ace".

It looks pretty much the same as the Evo. Shame they removed the front-facing camera though.

 

[THEV1LL4N]

that looks massive. nice big screen though and thin edges, good to see they made good use of the space.

 

[THEV1LL4N]

i saw someone on the bus the other day with an iphone 4... guess what?? it was inside a case.. any guesses as to why? lol

my guess is that the predominant reason was it was in there for protection... NOT for the antenna issues!! lolol.

 

[THEV1LL4N]

I use the eBay apps when I'm out and about also.

Which eBay app is better or best?
