Oh the glory and the smell of a new phone. As I posted a few weeks ago, the HTC S420 is coming. This is the follow on to the StarTrek and I must say, with some nice feature upgrades. We know, there is NO WiFi, but I am willing to sacrifice sleekness for a few things. Did we already mention that it will have WM6, 400Mhz CPU, GPS Receiver, Quad-Band, FM Radio, UMTS, and a 2.0 mega-pixel camera. Oh yea!!
So gentlemen and ladies, get your Credit Cards warmed up because supposedly we have a RTS/Release date of May 16th, 2007.
Here are some sites that are taking pre-orders. Click here to see some Froogle ads. (I in no way endorse these sites) Matter of fact I prefer the good ol' eBay way or MobilePlanet myself.
And yes...The initial sticker price is high but just give it a few weeks and your carriers should have them in stock.

Correction on Date - Received new word that it will be May 18th, 2007.
Enjoy -
Thanks for the info. This is the first time I read something about a release date of this little beauty.
In Denmark??
Hi.. Do you think that this phone is gonna be on the marked in may, in Denmark to??
Would be great
hmm ive only seen a mock up CGI type pic of the unit not an actual live photo,any around?
Today it's the 18th. No news on it so far on the Net. I hope it will be released soon, though I do not excpect it before june. We'll see.
I hoping we at least see it in June. No one has yet seen a pre-production/release model yet which usually crops up first. I checked with Haider at SMG and he has no word. There are a couple of folks who have the pre-production S630s so we will probably see that released first. Dopod has also announced their version of. As of yet, I have seen no official announcements on the erato.
I need it the HTC S420
if there not even an in the wild tru pic knocking around the net ,then i doubt we are anywere near getting it myself

I agree. Let's hope their just looking for better battery life before releasing this little baby.
I was hoping it would be out...and that the Bluetooth to Uconnect would sound better (my main complaint about the StarTrek)

HTC S420 (also known as Erato) has been canceled.
HTC announced it on 29. May. They cancel releasing and doesnt start to produce the smartphone.
That sucks but would not be totally unexpected.
Can you give us the link to the press release since it's not (yet) on one of the HTC sites?

It's Czech, not English. But I am sure you understand what does mean the cross on the picture.

I find that weird that they are canceling a great phone but you never know. I did call the HTC Bellevue office and they knew nothing of a cancellation. I will email the Taiwanese location and see if there have been any developments. You never know.
Just do clarify, Froogle and PDAdb.net has the phone still coming in July now.

Well, that's just what sunnysoft said. And after all the crap they posted (i.e. Qtek 8500 has miniUSB, selling extUSB>JACK as microUSB>JACK,............), who will believe to what they said? They also said that Treo 750 will never be shipped to Europe
Another info from simon211175 at modaco (his post)
Last week I emailed HTC europe to find out if the StrTrk/Qtek 8500 was going to be given the WM6 facelift. When they said (in vague terms) "no", I asked when its successor (S420/Erato) will be out.
The reply was "The release date for the HTC 420 is expected to be in July 2007"
I know this probably means September at the earliest, but it's a start.

Now I am a bit confused but this message may be few days older...
Well, so far the Czech Sunnysoft site is the only one claiming the Erato is cancelled. No other site confirming it or confirmation from HTC. So, let's cross fingers for a July release
it is true?
really exist?
who knows...?
now aday I've this doubt too however it might bcos of the unstable bootloader or due for the licenses, that why the AP team not willing release anything "officially", however some user might got it the rom from other channel..
i rather wait for the official release instead become "white mouse".
hope AP team can be release the rom ASAP.
Thank you.

In other words if you guys have nothing really constructive to say just keep it hush hush. It's no myth because it's not released yet, and I'm sure you don't want the team to just putout anything crappy, especially after all you've anticipated.

hi ice_coffee,
don't worry ... i don't need tha ap4 now.
when released (and tested) is probably that i upgrade my athena (now i use wm5 and i'm very happy).
agree (and agree to all the ap4 team. my first message was by joke, regard the smilley)...
Is the Holy Grail, everybody is looking for it, somebody says "Thank's God, I've got it and it is wonderful", nobody says WHY it is wonderfull!
Isn't faster, it could brick your device, used in a car the screen plays the macarena dance... it is a strong companion of the WW beetle car: not a single advantage compared to the other cars, but everybody want's one! Definitively IT'S a LEGEND!

@rory => AP4 is not what you suggest, but Thomas did not need to touch the nail prints or put his hand into the side where the spear had gone. He simply fell to his knees and believed.
What I can't beleive is that you (collectively) would even think to bring doubting Thomas into this arena. Perhaps you are sincere in your faith, but this is a cell phone and a new ROM were on about. It may seem like eternity waiting for the official release, but on the grand scheme of things, this is a vapour, which appears for a short time then is gone. (enough for this line of discussion for now, I hope)
OMG
I do not know what is happening :O Since 2 months I am looking for this AP 4 .
The worst thing with the AP 3 is that the alarm is ringing at the past time zones ...as I change them very often...and the problem is westbound as is not nice to wake up at 5 or 6 am cause the ap is nice, but without the basic things

Thanks for all the hard work oli on the Hard-SPL getting it right, does this mean ROM will be released today? If there are other problems please sort them, just curious about what is left to get sorted before release really!
Once again cheers for all the hard work the team has put in i'm sure it will be worth it, the urge to install pre release rom is getting less!!
Keep up the good work AP team.

Not sure about the right forum for this one, so posting it here... mods, move if you need to.
I am interested in buying an HP Pre 3 if I can get my hands on a cheap one... and/or an HP Veer. Seeing as HP has announced $75 for the Pre3 in UK and France, I hope the Veer would also see a similar price drop.
But the real question is: is Android going to be ported to the Pre3 and/or Veer? Afaik, both phones' hardware should be capable of running it, in principle.
Price drop announced in France... I would also like to know if we could have Android on Pre3.
If it's ported to the Touchpad, It could very well be added to the Pre, the only thing is how the Home/Menu/Back Buttons would work.

I'm serious about this. Calculate the price after its change (phone cost + shipping cost to Macedonia), and if reasonable, buy me +1.
I must be the only guy in the world that actually had a Pre3 on Preorder. If I can pick up another few in the firesale then i'm happy to ship them out to people at cost. Drop me a PM and I'll do firstcome first serve.
When's it due on sale in the uk?

I had one, but just got an email from the supplier saying that HP recalled the stock which was going to be sent to them, so my order was cancelled.
Shame, I was really looking forward to getting one... I hope I can grab one in the fire sale, but I probably won't...
I wish someone could make this happen for the Veer. I saw an article on precentral that someone was able to port a semi-working version of android to the original pre and pre plus. should be able to do the same for the Veer if someone put their mind to it. PLZ!
would be interested in running android on my pre3.
missing the android market a lot.
pre3 should have some potential for developers I guess.

I think it would be easier to handle these buttons when Ice Cream Sandwich reaches AOSP
Or SB develop driver to handle gestures like swipe to left = "back", swipe to right = "menu" and just tap = "home".
Any news?
XDA-developers has Beta MIUI.us Tenderloin HP TouchPad 2.3.7 by scott951 done, does anybody know if i can use this ROM to install android on HP Veer 4G?
I tried with alpha releases and nothing.
I'm curious about buying an HP phone too. The Pre3 looks nice but I think I want the Veer.
Maybe someone will develop an Android version to work on them. The issue with the home/back/menu buttons would be solved if they used 4.0. I think there's an app in the market that uses on screen buttons too.
~100 Euros for such a nice piece of hardware, the only thing holding me back is the fact that my whole life works around my android handset
Bump
I own a Touchpad and a Pre3, running one of the latest ICS nightlies from Eyeballer on the Touchpad and it rocks dual boot with WebOS.
It would rock to have it on the Pre3 too, as WebOS doesn't have whatsapp, which is needed on a phone these days.
As the Pre and Pre2 had some Android version running, I was hoping the Touchpad ICS could be ported to Pre3 pretty easily.
Not as many Pre3's out there as there are Touchpads, but still reasonable numbers I think as they were sold in UK, France, Germany and some other countries. If I look at this picture the Pre3 would be a candidate for ICS/CM9

I like the review. Glad its not so iPhone biased like Engadget normally does their reviews.
They are lying their asses off though when it comes to battery life being phenomenal. I'd always trust Anandtech review's more for battery life testing which rates it at good for screen-on time but not "AMAZING" the way Engadget is making it out to be...
This is my 8th Android and ive had all iPhone generations and I can honestly say that for the screen size and power that this phone packs, it does have awesome battery life. The best ive ever seen in Android. I text all day, surf web, talk, email, facebook, write and read lots of emails, read xda, etc.. and past 3 days it has lasted me thru my 8-10 hour shift with about 20-25% left to spare as I get home.
This battery life is just as good, if not better, than the iPhone 4 mho

hi guys,just wondering if anyone has heard of an exact release date for the p40pro plus.
It's supposed to be in June

The only place I can find to pre order is www.clove.co.uk and they only have the Black 256g model
I saw Clove too and have used them before but they say its 256 but Huawei say the pro + only comes with 512? And that is in their own shop page. Not sure why Clove have got this wrong, may be just a typo but unless they change the specs or confirm it, i think people will pre order elsewhere. There is only one model being released in Europe, just in 2 colours according to their statement.
Looks like Clove have upset the trading standards too. The picture in the add is a p40 pro and not the plus. See screenshot. I hope Clove sort it out as they are trusted sellers.
NOTE, its been removed now
I'm not convinced that trading standards goes around giving 5 star reviews and issuing advice in this way.
I'm not sure but the Chinese version should be out and in people hands already.

It's 25 June and if you want it sim free the best offers will be on the Huawei UK website. No pre-orders for this one.
I've got hands on already.
https://t.co/DL0rlHVluw?amp=1
If you buy from the Huawei uk website just be sure to take screenshots of any offers. They tried to fob customers off with an inferior product for the P40 Pro launch having edited their web site afterwards.
Yes, available now in UK with desk charger and brown gt2 watch, £1299 delivery 1st July.
Shame about the brown watch, would prefer some Freebuds. Hopefully eBay will have a £1 listing offer soon.
Its up on the clove.co.uk website but only the 256g models .
