[Android] A new full QWERTY phone from HTC!

HTC has made some darned great QWERTY phones in the past, for WinMo, and famously for Android with the T-Mobile G1.

The G1 was my first Android phone, and Android aside, the hard keyboard was definitely a thing of beauty. Key depth was shallow, yes, but once you got the hang of it, there was nothing better out there for text input. I have been waiting for a worthy successor to the G1, but there have been far too few Android QWERTY sliders on the market

Since the G1, the only with-hard-keyboard phone worth talking about has been the Moto Droid/Milestone. But this just in: HTC's back! With the HTC Vision. 

Looks promising. Very promising. 

As seen on engadget:

 

How far we've come.

Back in the day, in 1998, my first computer had a 166Mhz Intel Pentium Processor, with 32GB of RAM. Windows 95 OSR2 was in its heyday, and the future looked oh so promising for Moore's Law.

What follows are screenshots taken earlier today, of my phone.

How far we've come, indeed.
