I know, the graphic is crude, but it popped in my head, and I am NOT an artist (Obviously) - anyway, I thought it was humorous.... and when it gets this bad, it's either laugh or cry!

Hell, you can even go back and mark off Dec. 1, Nov. 9, and even back to Oct. when we were all hoping to hear its release!
BTW, I think you did a great job with the graphic.
That is funny! Good job on the graphics.
Is that a picture from your cell.....I mean room.....lol

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.
Enjoy -

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)

this happens everytime we get specs we are always disappointed with release time. but i for one will be getting raped buying the import for cingular becuase i wont wait love how its 3g ready for cings band.
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?

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
New Response From [ Pete (UK - Ireland Support (Tech)) ]
Hi Hywel, thanks for your email.
I understand this may be frustrating, but the 16th was never the release date. there were some 'leaks' on the internet, but those were incorrect, It was never planned for today at all.
The update will be available for everyone from the end of the month as planned. it will be phased out over a week or so to spread out the download demand, but it was certainly never going to appear today.
Best regards,

Hi Where is the hero 2.1 upgrade for me to download?? It’s the 16th of April the day the upgrade is scheduled for release. If it’s not released today then when? If this is so then I can’t believe this delay as its been promised again and again !!!!!
Issue Date & Time

They never said that ROM 2.1 will be released on 16th. I don't know where you get that.
1st they said they will release 2.1 ROM upgrades in March. When March came they said that due to some technical issues we have to wait till mid April for release.
So now it is mid April and some tech guy says it will be released at the end of the month. Guess what, at the end of month they will say that it will be released in mid May.
Did you get the game rules now ? They want as to buy their new Incredible phone!
The 16th was on a schedule that was leaked a moth or so ago.
But it should never have been believed anyway.

I think you didn't put enough exclamation marks in your original enquiry for them to take you seriously. And if I were you, I'd sue that guy who promised you update on April 16th again and again. Uh wait. Nobody promised that. Nevermind then.
Imagine having to man the email response section at HTC for the Hero with all the plums emailing you asking every 10 mins when the 2.1 update will be out!
I wonder how high the internal window jumper rate is... or forced handset in throat related deaths in the HTC office..
I also emailed them and they said the android 2.1 updates will be coming out starting at the end of april including for your HTC hero

I don't buy that as it makes little sense. It would hardly increase sales figures for the new devices at all. Most cellphone owners are locked into a contract which means if they want to upgrade before it's renewal time they have two choices.....wait, or pay over the odds to do so.....almost everyone (except die hard early adopters who are an extremely small percentage of owners) chooses the first option.
Then you have the fact that the newer handsets have better hardware and software, and all the ROM upgrades in the world won't change the hardware, so who in their right mind is going to choose an older phone knowing they'll have to mess about and upgrade it when they can just go get the shiny new model for free on another contract?
For all we (I) know, the delays could be due to more tweaks needed to make the ROM run at an acceptable level on handsets that have an inferior hardware spec than those that it was originally designed for.
the delays are mostly due because the htc servers couldnt possibly support all desire, hero and legend updates at the same time, thats why they are rolling ou the updates slowly, starting with the desire network providers, then the legend probably and finally the hero

I know this is not true as I and many of my friends are not on contracts (actually can only think of 1 who is) and prefer to buy outright as to upgrade as we see fit, and change service provider too. But I do agree with your point, it would not be a way to increase sales, more likely just internal bureaucracy is the cause for the set back.
Seriously people, there's a little thing called patience. My mother always told me that good things come to those who wait.
So, take this for what it is worth. I was in Best Buy this afternoon checking out the Photon when I asked what he had heard about the GS2. He checked his computer and said they don't have an official date, but they had been given a date of September 4th for when they would be receiving more information. He also said with that, that it would be extremely unlikely to see the phone before then. I have no idea if this guy was blowin' smoke and for all of our sakes, I hope he was. It would be very bad news indeed for those of us expecting an August release.
What do you guys think? Does someone in his position really have access to that type of information, especially this early?
Duh! You really only have 500 people ordering, they've just placed pre-orders with 15 different stores! Lol. They keep pushing the release date further and further back because they think they have this huge order to fill but in reality its probably a third of what they think. I am so lucky I got mne on the 23rd and its a good unit. No major quirks or problems. Cause its going to be a while before their out.
If they hadn't cancelled pre-oders and gave a straight answer on the release date we wouldn't be innthi mess!
Guess they don't care about all the bad publicity.
ok
What was your point again?
So, its finally here. I'm in India, and its 11PM IST for me. Another hour and history shall be created
Lets hope we get some Dev love once the ICS kernel is out! Can't wait to get CM9/AOKP working on this baby!
It's the 12th of June - you don't say. (well not quite for me yet)
What happens today?
Soon, soon, the 12th of June.
The ICS fallacy and plot.
I know of no reason why the ICS delay
Should ever be forgot.

Hehe....this has to be the MOST dramatic wait ever!
Hate to burst your bubble but, these times are not relative to where you live if it does drop "today" (really tomorrow) it will be atleast another 10 and a half hours as the release times are basically MIDNIGHT EST which is -5:00 UTC, plus the rumor was for the US verison based xt912's not the global launch.

Ya i read the 12th date was Verizon's drop
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA
yeah, I know. But at least if the Droid gets it, we'll know we're gonna get it soon. Besides, I'm sure somebody could cook up a custom ROM n then use the GSM patch
Just out of curiosity, what does OP stand for?

Original post or poster.
On another note, I just spoke to the user on here who created an account to prove ICS was out. He said it's for sure releasing on the 12th, so we can all sleep well tonight.
As more people believing in this, as less the chances to happen.

I already have my alarm set for 11:58 may not even go to sleep till it comes out or at least until I know if it is really coming or not!!! I guess @ 12:05 if I haven't seen anything I'll go to sleep again and I am EST so should get it as soon as it drops!!!

12th is the day that precedes the 13th.
Go figure...
I for one will not be surprised if the 12th comes and goes with no updates to my Razr.
It's the 11th for most in US. And I highly highly highly doubt the Droid RAZR will get a soak before GSM, it's just not how stuff works

It never was intented to be release for India, only Verizon users.
I'm setting my phone's date to the 13th.
I'm going to have ICS yesterday.
Moto/Verizon haven't even announced a soak test for the ICS release yet (to my knowledge, and I was on the last one). As much as I'd love to be proven wrong, I don't see any OTA release in the next week, much less the next day.
