I have been drooling over this phone since I saw thae specs back in November. Happy to see that it is finally going to drop on Verizon, I am overdue for a upgrade, and have been holding out and holding on to my Motorola Droid A855 in hopes of getting this phone. Now it looks like its going to be real that we have it soon!!! Cant wait!!!

I wanted this when it was 'supposed' to be a world phone from Verizon. Now what the heck is it? Verizon or not? GSM or CDMA or both? This phone will be scrapped like the HTC Eris by the time it's released. What a shame. Come on Verizon give me an HTC Android phone I can travel with. I don't want a Crackberry, and the iPhone doesn't work on both systems either.

too little too late with this one. i was really excited for this phone at the end of last year but there's just too many newer, dual core, 4g phones coming out soon. htc is really screwing up thei execution with their "new" phones this year. so much so that LG and Motorola are becoming viable candidates again for most people.

It looks like a black version of the G2, from T-Mobile. It's the qwerty board, and 4G.

The phone may not say Verizon on it... but that seems to be Verizon's notification bar.

I've been looking forward to this phone. I've wanted a physical QWERTY because I'm not partial to looking at the back of my fingers when I type or play games. Also, was interested in the screen size... I have a 3.2" Eris (that also happens to be running Gingerbread) and would like to upgrade on my screen real estate. Coworkers of mine have 4' and 4.3' displays and I just find them to be too large. 3.8" sounds like a sweet spot for me.

I might even overlook the fact that Verizon seems to have gimped this phone in favor of the Thunderbolt.

I swear this looks like my G2 sans the optical joystick (and hopefully sans the Rooted stock android build). Just gave it a black paint job, HTC Sense. I like though. I always wondered what would make them.
