Weekend Roundup #70

Hey folks! Hope you all are doing well and that you had a good weekend like me. Our local church celebrated its 17th anniversary last Saturday with a special program and there were lots of visitors and lots of food. It felt good being able to attend church again after missing church the last couple of weeks. Spent the whole day in church with different programs and activities, also helped out cleaning up. Sunday was family time and spent the day at home, watching movies with my wife and later on watched Super Bowl XLIV where the New Orleans Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts 31-17. Although I like the Colts, I was rooting for the Saints because they were the underdogs and because this was their first Super Bowl. Both teams played well and the Colts were even ahead 10-6 after the 1st half, but the Saints came in the 2nd half with renewed energy and determination and eventually won the game.

Enough of that, here’s this weeks edition of the Weekend Roundup. Hope you guys enjoy it.

The AT&T Tilt or HTC TyTN II that I got about four months ago is my first ever Windows Mobile powered phone or pocket pc phone. Its also the first time I owned and tried a phone made by HTC. Earlier this month I came across this article from Modaco about an upcoming phone from HTC called the HTC Touch HD.

Below are more photos and the complete specifications of the HTC Touch HD.

The HTC Touch HD is definitely geared as a competitor to the iPhone, Samsung Omnia and the also upcoming Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. According to reports, the HTC Touch HD will first be introduced in Europe by the last quarter of this year. There’s no word when this phone will be available here in the United States but rumors have it that AT&T will have it first.

For now, there is no information on the exact launch date or how much the HTC Touch HD would cost but if its primed as an iPhone killer/competitor then expect it to be in the same price range as the iPhone. I haven’t been this excited about a new phone like I was when I first heard about the iPhone. I hope my account with AT&T would be eligible for a phone upgrade when this baby comes out.

With the specs and photos above, what can you say about the HTC Touch HD? You think it can compete with the Apple iPhone, Samsung Omnia or the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1?
