Even though Microsoft’s big MIX event is still days away, the Windows Phone 7 Series development platform is already pretty well defined. It’s also clear that Microsoft wants to keep things tidy for developers by requiring all WP7 phones to meet a certain base-level spec . Now, thanks to a post from Microsoft’s Shawn Hargreaves, we know the display resolution for the first batch of Microsoft’s next generation phones: 480 x 800 (WVGA) pixels at launch, with a future update that will introduce a 320 x 480 (HVGA) native resolution. Dedicated hardware will ensure image scaling across all those pixels without taxing the GPU. That allows game developers, for example, to write to a lower resolution (requiring less horsepower) and then scale up as required while remaining compatible to a variety of screen resolutions. Now, for those playing along at home, the HD2 getting ready to launch on T-Mobile in the USA is also WVGA and it features a 1GHz Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm, Microsoft’s WP7 silicon partner. So we can assume (but not guarantee) that it meets the image scaling hardware requirements described by Hargreaves. Man, if only the HD2 had three-buttons .

okay so i was just texting on my HTC Tilt 2 and then all of a sudden it keep typing the letter “o” non-stop. and now half my keyboard dont work now. so everytime i go to text with my keyboard it does the same. i didnt drop it or get it wet so what can be wrong?? help me thanks
long story short, i bought a stowaway serria folding bluetooth keyboard. the software that cames with it apparently wont allow for pairing due to who knows what so i moved on and tried to use the keyboard in hid mode wich works. except one thing: funny thing is that i noticed is that when you have the keyboard slide out- it changes what the keys on the keyboard do. specificaly, the number keys on my external keybaord seem to perfectly match up with the top row of my tilt 2 keyboard, so a “1″ on the external keyboard would be a “@” and a “2″ on the external keuyboard is a “_” i looked into mapping these keys with aekmap and i noticed that the top row of keys are identified with the same number as the top row on my external keyboard, so i feel if i mapped them to make them correct for the external keyboard then they will be wrong for the sliding keyboard. i would rather use the keyboard driver/app that comes with keynoard that i installed on the phone because i beleive it will let me use all the function keys,but i will settle simple functionality does anyone have a hint as to where to go from here?

My apologies if this was posted before, I couldn’t find my original post (if there was one) and search didn’t yield any results….. I’ve had several instances of the clock changing now (Tilt2). In each case, I’ve done nothing with the phone. I would look at it during lunch, put it down, than look again a few minutes later to find that it will show from 20 minutes to 20 hours, and anywhere inbetween, off. This can be a major issue, as I dont wear a watch and rely on my phone for this. I can imagine trying to explain to my boss why I’m 20 minutes late from lunch……”sure, you’re phone just decided to change it’s time without telling you”…. Any ideas, or has anyone else experienced this? It did it today at lunch, and sometime yesterday as well. I was hoping a device switchout would have helped (on my fourth)…..

Android Forums is alight today with fresh HTC Incredible chatter — a phone every Android fan on Verizon is desperately waiting for — and we’ve managed to glean a few more pictures and possible specs out of the mess. It looks like we can expect a half gig of RAM with about 320MB available (roughly the same as what you find on the Nexus One ) and an 8 megapixel cam, but interestingly, the phone’s Snapdragon core is apparently underclocked to 768MHz, almost certainly a battery-saving measure on HTC’s part; fortunately, the Sense -powered Android 2.1 firmware is still said to be “blazing fast.” It measures 117.5 x 58.5 x 11.9mm — just a hair narrower, shorter, and thicker than its Nexus One doppelganger, small enough of a difference so that we think it’ll be virtually indistinguishable in person. As shots go, we’re seeing now that HTC has moved from the brightly-colored glossy shell to a soft-touch black one while keeping the strange contours; we think there’s at least a chance that this is final ID, too, since the Verizon logo is silkscreened at the bottom. Inside, the entire thing (including the battery itself) is a shockingly loud shade of red, mirroring an odd design trend first seen on the HD mini . We definitely dig it. If the stats over on the forum hold up, the Incredible’s on track for a launch in April or May, so it’s still a few weeks off — in the meanwhile, we encourage you to check out more of the new shots after the break.

How do you turn on the screen lock on the Tilt 2? I saw it when I got the phone, but can’t find it again. David
It looks like T-Mobile’s webConnect Rocket USB modem will be released right on schedule, even if you currently have to be in Philadelphia to enjoy those HSPA+ speeds (then again, if you’re in Philadelphia you probably deserve a break). Accordingly, folks jumping on that March 14 release date can expect to pay $99 with a two-year contract that entitles you to monthly charges of $50 for 5GB or $20 for 200MB — with a $0.20 / megabyte overage charge. Fun! Additionally, the kids at Mobile Burn got their hands on a unit for a review and were generally quite impressed with consistent download speeds ranging from 1780Kbps to 2797Kbps “on a couple of [DSLreports.com] East Coast servers.” Hell, after moving to a location with “prime, perfect signal (-51dbm)” things picked up considerably, with, on average, 6480Kbps downloads and 2160Kbps uploads. Not bad, eh? Hit the source link to get into the nitty gritty. PR after the break.
