Are the rumors of a Star Trek 2 true?

I am not sure if the forum or the WIKI is the right place, but I wondered if anyone has real confirmed knowledge of a Star Trek 2 coming out. I found an entry on the Internet concerning it, and it even included a photo of the proposed model.

Do you have a link to the article with the supposed photo?
check the date
check the date on the article, there was talk of one a year or so ago (with gps), but it was never substantiated by HTC
http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=235080
if you look closely at the pic, you can see this is just a pic of a startrek in a case.

Yeah I've been waiting for the "Erato" too, but I Think it will never be seen on the market, just like the I-Mate Ultimate Clamshell...
flunserl
Yeah, I was hoping for a new clamshell smartphone, with windows mobile 6, 3G, and MicroSDHC capabilities. I read somewhere HTC cancelled it.
Hope they will reconsider, there really are no other phones out there like the startrek.

The buttons are different though.
But yes, since it was posted a year ago, I would say there won't be a StarTrek 2 in the near future.

I have to have the ten posts to get into market so here is the first one.

New review up from PhoneArena

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQwXsgdFNrI
This is one of the better ones I've seen, not just because it's generally favorable, but because the dude seems to know what's important in a modern device and what phone freaks like us want to know about them.
Sorry if this is a repost, but the vid was only uploaded a couple of hours ago and a quick search of the forum did not turn it up.
You probably should of included the link to the actual article, which seems to be 4 pages long
http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/HTC-EVO-3D-Review_id2768
gonna go read it now
edit
wow those 2d pics are the worse of all the 2d pics i've seen from this phone yet

You're right, of course. Sorry for the oversight.
Looks like a solid review..still some concern about the camera tho. It seems a mixed bag when it comes to video record. Some people say its excellent some say mushy. Same thing with call quality..anyways Friday can't get here soon enough
I've got my preorder and am pumped to get this phone! Even if the 3d isn't perfect, I really don't care. The phone looks sweet. Plus, I'm still using a Hero so I am ready to get rid of it. So slow and laggy. Can't wait! Nice review!
So, we're capped at 60fps on this? I would bet that the score would be higher if it weren't capped at 60.
Or is the benchmark itself capped (Quadrant)? I see the SGS2 also capping at 60 during the tests.
Or, is this a limit of the display itself?
One of the review screenshots clearly shows HD 1280x720 video capability.
Atleast there's 1080p playback. I'm sure there will be a fix from HTC since the hardware is capable of it. If not, the devs will do their magic

Yes but that 720 p ..our evos can do that now. albeit not very well..I don't really care as long as it does it well..1080p on a phone isn't much of a difference on a phone screen

I didn't think there was an issue with the 720p recording, it is the fact that it cannot do 1080p (1920x1080) 2D recording.

With the videos not looking as good as i had hoped for at 720....1080 isnt needed. Praying for some type of "less compression" for faster memory cards or something.
By far, THE BEST review I've seen for this phone.
This is not due to ANY kind of opinion from the reviewer, but simply due to the attention to detail given to the review. Even if the reviewer HATED this phone, it'd still be the best and most detailed I've seen yet. Looking forward to checking out this site more often.
Why is this the first and only review or place that I've seen this mentioned
PhoneScoop Review said:
Lastly, using an optional MHL adapter that’s plugged into the handset’s microUSB port, we’re able to watch 1080p videos stored on the handset directly on a high-definition television set. Not only that, but you can get a mirrored experience as well, which brings the handset’s entire platform experience onto the big screen.

Unofficial Firmware beta testing and update discussion!

Its been many weeks since the new firmware went into final testing. So how is it coming? I understand there are people testing it? Are there any big problems? Why hasn't it been released already?
Any info on a ETA would be nice.
Cheers guys.
Edit: title updated
I dreamed we were getting Jellybean 4.1 and will be out no later than the middle of June but maybe sooner. Basically the same code Asus is putting into the Google Nexus 7 inch tablet due out towards the end of June.

It has been very quiet. Maybe they actually have noticed that the Prime does not perform like a quad core tablet should and they are seriously fixing the software. At least I hope so.

I was going to post a similar thread to this yesterday - It has been a while since it went in to testing.
I hope for a dramatic increase in speed when the update is eventually shipped! Anyways all speculation for now.

I guess Google is realizing just how buggy this chip is.
Hopefully, by implementing it for the Nexus tab, they will fix the issues without crippling the device too much.
..........
I have been pm'ed by a member asking if I had heard anything and thought I gotta be a little proactive here so bear with me. The pm did not upset me but thought I'd better put this out there anyway.
Please do not pm me asking if I have heard anything about the next update. I was kidding around with demandrin (dunno if I spelled that right) earlier in this thread and that was all it was. I don't get inside info from him nor will I ask him for it. My Prime is working better than it has been with .21. It isn't perfect but I am happy with it.
I PM'd you demandarin, I think I got the wrong idea about asking for updates, sorry for the PM!
Stewart
Ill answer everyone pm when I get home. IM still at work. too much to reply to from my phone.
Instead of PM'ing demandarin, how about one of the people who gets a response posts the information here so everyone can see?
Or if possible, is there an actual official Asus website devoted to tablets? I've looked in the past and have not found one. I think it would be more useful if I were giving and getting feedback to someone actually from Asus.

+1 to this.
The information drought isnt good for anybody, but, I think its very telling.Getting second hand information , is not only unreliable, generally it is not current or correct, regardless of what some people think.
Just got home from work. Do to the sheer number of pm's I got, I will just post here shortly. Have to run an errand real quick then will post. This info will be for those who wish to know or want to read it. There is a new developement which I will share also which might explain the delay. be back shortly
