You hear that crashing sound? Those are my hopes and dreams, shattering.
Yesterday on Twitter, HTC announced that they have no plans to bring the Touch HD to US soil:
sad news, US. we looked into it- by the time we could bring Touch HD to the states, it would be old news. we do have other cool stuff coming
That’s really too bad. This was a really, really nice looking handset. After pawing at it for a few minutes back in September, I was willing to look past its Windows Mobile core for the sake of that glorious 3.8 inch WVGA screen. Oh well - see you guys at Shady Steve’s Import Shack.
I thought all people in Crunch blogs were against Windows Mobile and everything related to Microsoft… You even wrote that Windows mobile was suffering from blue screen of death….
Just making my decision to get the Storm that much easier with nothing to hope for in the near future from HTC. Of course there is that pesky iPhone on VZW rumor still floating about, but that’s months away too, damn my impatience.
This device is the first one that really deserves the title of an iPhone killer. It feels as nice as Apple, but it’s Windows Mobile. I could test it for a review in German:
