How is this different from the HDTC4-US, due out in December?

It will support H.264 AVC encoding and will DLNA support. If your TV supports DLNA, you can stream live TV to it rather than having to go through Myth, WMC, Sage, etc. For people with TVs that support DLNA, this would be great.

I'm in the same boat... what good is a pre-order without an expected release date this close to Christmas? Seems gimmicky.

I'm astonished that Amazon believes that I own this device. I have, however, been searching diligently for information on this very subject. The best estimate/guess for general release is perhaps the middle of November. Apparently the W700 has experienced limited release in just a few major markets. The surprising element to me is, considering the vast number of articles previewing this and similar devices (all touting an Oct. 26th release), is the silence regarding their absence in the marketplace.

I believe there is a feature comparison on their website. Mainly G vs N networking and I think the USB port is just on the XR. If you missed the gold box deal for under a hundred for the XR, that's a shame-it was the same price as the next model down. This is the best tech investment I have made this year-super easy setup and great picture quality, flawless operation. Worth it just for the Netflix alone.

Let's be careful and make sure that we are looking at the Vado HD version and not the older Vado (non HD version).The Vado HD just started shiping today December 9th.

Samsung released a news release which you can find online. The ICS update is "supposed" to be released sometime in Aug. 2012.

Looks like its basically the latest and greatest rev of the product. BT is now compliant with BT4, ability to connect to 2 devices, and a better codec for improved audio quality. Battery life looks a bit longer as well (12 hrs vs 8 hrs).

i have seen it on sale at SonyStyle store in San Francisco yesterday...pretty sure they would sell it with english instructions for the US market. There are also rumors that Cingular will offer it very cheap soon

Thanks for checking. I was thinking more to leave one of these units in Europe for non-techy relatives (e.g. older relatives who won't boot up skype to talk to me) But, they're bringing these out in "Q1 2007" in europe supposedly so I guess I'll just wait to avoid the hassle of plugging it into a converter. Thanks again for checking though and taking the time to post.

I did an online chat with Philips support asking this exact question (after being surprised that Google could not help me!).There is no difference between HTL9100 and HTL7180.They are just different model #'s for different regions. The HTL9100 is the UK model, and HTL7180 is the USA model. Apparently any Philips product with a "/F7" at the end of the model number is the USA region's model.

It is 4.2.2 Jellybean. I read today on Google News that the UK and Europe have begun receiving Kit Kat. There was no mention of when the US would receive the software update.

The model at B&H; is the new version. The difference is only that it works with iPhones. There is no reason Amazon should be selling it for way over the recommended price. I imagine they are trying to 'encourage' people to clear their stock of the old model before they drop the price, which is REALLY annoying.

The US version from Amazon comes with a 1 year warranty by Nokia. Any other warranty is not through Nokia and through the retailer (most likely a month). Pre-installed language options are also different. The product code for Amazon's E7-00 is 059F6L7, as of last week, the US E7-00 still has not received the Belle Feature Pack/Refresh update, as opposed to other country variants having already received the update (most likely US version will be the last to be updated). Other country versions may have a charger that is not intended for North American 120v electrical outlets. If you do buy another charger, make sure it is Nokia AC-10U that outputs 1200mA@5volts.

Haven't heard of a newer version but I know that some other xl's coming out are supposed to be having upgraded firmware. I would just read all the specs to make sure you are paying for what you want.
