I am looking forward to having a Universal with faster internet access and a much better camera. I would love an external screen (one or two lines...no color needed!) foor caller I'D and a slightly smaller overall size while retaining the VGA screen. That's it! It should be fairly simple to do. Output to a projector? Heck, if you need all that you need to get a laptop and be done with it...they are small enough now.

A friend of mine was considering the Universal, but I told him to hold off because I knew something like this was coming. Size and VGA are key factors to him, so it only made sense to wait for the successor. This looks to be it!

The Universal is a great device, but...


Double the RAM!!! Double the RAM!!! Double the RAM!!!

And we want Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and Tri-band UMTS w/HSDPA!!!

Here's to hoping they at least get those things right!


Here's to hoping they also add an external color display and an external numeric keypad, and upgrade the BT, the WiFi, and the camera. And if we're lucky, maybe they'll add in a SSIII GPS chipset (yeah, right, but here's to hoping for that, too!).

They do that and change the keyboard backlighting to blue (and keep the chassis black), THEN it would be perfect, IMO. 8)

2700G would not only mean VGA output, but also 3D acceleration (games) and hardware-based MPEG decoding, which would really result in a LOT of saved battery power when watching videos.

well sounds mouth watering.... i hate technology to some extent only because i was looking at the HTC Trinity for my next buy... crap ill have to wait for this to show up on the market..... till then i have my fingers crossed..
i hope the VGA doesnt bite a big chunk from the battery performance.. which it is known to do...

Lord let there be complete CONVERGENCE... sorry VGA CONVERGENCE

Any guess on the screen size? If it is less than 3.5", I won't be interested.

IMO, the current screen size of universal ie 3.6" will still be retained

The Universal has a 3.6" screen? I was under the impression that it has a 4" screen.

It's 3,6", just barely enough for TrueVGA.

It's actually not as big as people seem to think it is - as far as length and width goes. Most of the bulk comes from its depth (you can blame that on the clamshell form-factor).
