A new rumored phone for T-Mobile (Q3 -2010 called the HTC Obsession)

From the wmexperts Article:

This is the device we have a better chance at seeing at Mobile World Congress, as the LG device is still going through some development pains. Think of the Obsession as a slightly smaller HD2.

And yes, HTC is working with Microsoft on Sense UI integration for Seven, we hear there is no tension between them on this feature.

•Launching: October 2010
•CPU: Qualcomm QSD8250; 1GHz
•GSM HSDPA
•Device Size: 112 x 56 x 11.7 mm
•Memory (RAM/ROM): 512MB/512MB
•Internal Storage: 4GB
•External Storage: MicroSD (up to 32GB)
•Screen Size/Type: 3.7-inch capacitive AMOLED “Multitouch Supported”
•Camera: 5.0 Megapixel AF with flash; HD 720p video@ 25fps
•Video Support: Windows Media Video (WMV), MPEG-4 (MP4/M4V) H.264, DVR-MS4
•Audio Support: Windows Media Audio (WMA), Advanced Audio Coding (AAC-LC), FairPlay DRM, MP3 (.mp3)
•Battery:  Removable 1230 mAh
•Talk Time: Up to 10 hours
•Standby Time: 240 hours
•Internet Use: 6 hours (3G), 7.5 hours (WiFi)
•Video Playback: 7 hours
•Audio Playback: 24 hours
The "Obsession" reportedly looks like the Verizon Imagio, which if true makes it a good choice.

Look for none other than T-Mobile to be getting this one, followed by other GSM carriers later on.

there right with the name.. but does it have a keyboard? if it does,, THIS WILL BE MY NEXT PHONE,, if the design is nice, which im preddy sure it will be.. but they say it kinda resembles the Imagio (which looks NICE), but its kb-less  =(
i guess i gotta wait for the TP3 since it'll have a GREAT kb with a tilt screen & better specs  :o

and Kick, i think TmoUK.. it might migrate over here in the States (a la HD2 soon)

T-Mobile will need to get the OEMs to put HSPA+ in their phones. They will be the only carrier in the US with HSPA+ phones. LOL. I wonder if that is a positive and negative.

So, what's the big difference between this and the HD2?
AMOLED screen.
3.7" instead of 4.3.
4GB internal memory.
Oct release date, maybe.

Am I missing something else?
Not worth the wait, IMO.

The HTC HD2 has better specs with the exception of the AMOLED screen on the HTC TD3.

Its just another high-end smartphone for T-Mobile subscribers (still rumors), and I don't mind.
