        &lt;p&gt;I am coming out early next month or by the end of March. If you want me first buy me from the HTC Phone store. My price range will be around $1000USD. I am successor to the HTC Universal. I have much better features and I will be the best phone for years! Keep in mind my buddy O2 XDA Flame will also be coming. Although my performance spec&#039;s are way better than his. O2 XDA Flame is more smaller and stylish black finish but not so good in performance wise. &lt;br /&gt;
So I am the best choice. &lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;div xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whoa. Can I get an RMA for that last tantrum?  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you HTC. According to Boy Genius (found via PPC Thoughts) the official spec sheet for the HTX X7500 (aka Athena) has leaked its way to the web. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Memory looks like this: 256 Meg of ROM / 128 Meg of RAM / 8G of storage - probably a HD because they mention it has a g-sensor. And... here comes the bit that seems to be the most important to all the other geeks... it has tri-band UMTS/HSDPA radio as well.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So it, theoritically, should work in the US along with the rest of the connected world.  Oh, and the camera has a flash too.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;W00t!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now just need to pull off a reverse-Dynamism and figure out how to get one of these shipped TO Japan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;div xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;... Can you hear that? ... That&#039;s the sound of my heart breaking. HTC? Who is this machine targeted towards?   That&#039;s right. Power users.  And what do power users complain the most about with regards to the current crop of WM5 devices? Yes, that&#039;s right, memory issues. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First it was the cost of this unit. Now, this WM dream machine, gets saddled with another potential deal breaker. 64 Meg of RAM!!??  WTF..!  I mean really...&lt;br /&gt;
You give us a grown-up screen. You give us a grown-up keyboard and storage option. Why can&#039;t you give us a grown up amount of memory?   I&#039;m so tired of my PPCs being right on the edge of real productivity...   I want a PPC that is not a toy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

Finally I can sit down and do some REAL work on my PPC - extended MindMap sessions, photo editing, TextMaker and PlanMaker with less headaches and eye-strain.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oh give it to me!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

        &lt;p&gt;oh - and I meant to add that I did some calculation; the 5&quot; screen gives just under double the amount of view that my current 3.8&quot; Loox has. For me, thats a LOT more.&lt;/p&gt;
