Very zexy beast!
Kevin
i can haz Touch Pro pleez
*drools all over keyboard*
Excellent! Some official data. So the end of the summer huh.... well just gotta wait for it, cause its definitely worth it!
the spec looks very nice.
just wondering it uses 1350mAH, but claims to be able to talk up to 8hrs.
is that even remotely close?
what do you guys think?
micro sd, now we're talking!
official on HTC:

sweeeeeet
e-gps
I read on the htc site it is GPS and a-GPS ready. What happended to the eGPS plans?
****s over americans again with 900/2100 hdspa/hsupa
looks amazing though
ill be getting one come release, and release date decides whether I get a diamond inbetween
I'd still prefer the diamond. I found I no longer need the physical KB. It really is frustrating wanting the phone, having the cash to buy the phone, willing to import it, but not having one that will work with your network. Oh well. I guess HTC are just asking me to consider alternatives. So they are forcing a loyal HTC owner of the past 3 years to consider Sony, Samsung, and even *gasp* the new iPhone...
According to the spec, I prefer HTC Touch Pro to Diamond.
Anyone know roughly how much will it cost yet?
Yep. I still prefer the Diamond. The design is better and the lack if keyboard (and therefore less thickness) is important to me.
Really torn between these 2, is the next move a Diamond with a keypad, instead of keyboard. keep the thinness but have a physical entry method?
Makes sense to me, can you XDA geniuses fix that too, please......
Also might get the Diamond waiting for the Raphael..
Prize..

In Denmark, (http://www.tele-online.dk/) it costs about 670 Euros. The Diamond costs 525 Euros. So its a lots of money.

you are right about the thickness, diamond is much thiner, I'm hoping to find a foldable external keyboard for diamond.

Is this Touch Pro to be thinner than the Tytn III. If not, HTC will need another excuse for not "fitting" the Quad chip in there!
The evolution at the moment is not that huge compared the keyborad less devices.
But it is already at the same thickness as old keyborad less devices
Raphael (with Keyboard) have now the same thickness as Trinity (without keyboard)
With Keyborad
HTML:
TyTN 113 x 58 x 22 mm & 176 g
TyTNII 112 x 59 x 19 mm & 190 g
TyTNIII 102 x 51 x 18 mm & 165g
Without Keyborad
HTML:
Trinity 108 x 58 x 18.4 mm & 150 g
Polaris 110 x 58 x 15.5 mm & 130 g
Diamond 102 x 51 x 11.4 mm & 100 g
man its a real thing... SD slot .. hmmmm
anytime better then diamond..
but costly
Have you seen Bengal Boy's hands on review of Sony's X1? It's going to be tough to decide between the Touch Pro and the X1 if they hit the street about the same time.
I'd definitely go for the Touch Pro out of those two...although I'm currently planning to just get a Touch Diamond and keep that.
Its out!!!!

Seems like a HTC Diamond with a Qwerty keyboard added
And the angle of the display doesn't seem to be adaptable
But screw HTC... Hope someone else will get the right video drivers working for the TyTN2,
however my upcoming phones won't be from HTC anymore
this one looks nice, but tytn II also was looking good. and what we got now? just some barely average phone. we will need to think before we buy tytn III.
however, i like the screen being on top and VGA resolution. i don't like diamond style buttons, i prefer real hardware buttons.

.
thats exactly what it is!
One thing that i hated about the diamond theyve fixed in the Touch Pro (well 2 things actually) .. ok 3 things!
- SDHC SLOT!!!!
- Hardward Keyboard
- Light on the camera! Missed that so much ..
Although i'm not liking the look of the joystick, need to test one to see how it feels
And the lack of hardware buttons on the front and side is a bit of a downer! but oh well
If this comes out on orange when my contract ends i'll blag a free one hopefully!
Is there a picture of a phone there somewhere?
Does anybody at their marketing dept know how to take a photograph properly? All those shadows and black make it about as clear as their policy regarding video drivers on the TyTN II. A classic example of attempting style at the expense of practicality as far as I can tell. Are people only getting half a phone when they buy one of these?
Only 2,8" screen? Damn. They could make touch pro with 3" screen.
Question is.... is there same bug still what is in older 2,8" screens?
Using screen in game slows down device awful much
And no tilt! Well my htc kaiser stays special
Still waiting for Sony Ericsson Xperia!

Your kaiser will stay special even then because Xperia too doesn't have a tilt mechanism.

Aaaaaahhhhh, but the Xperia does have an arced screen which slides in an upward motion, not quite the tilt but better than flat.
I still prefer my TyTN II though.
wow!
I love it!
this will be my next device!
now we (we Europeans that is) have to wait for Fall to arrive
do we know what carriers this will be on yet?

Looks like a rip off of the SE Xperia ... but rumor has it that HTC is the OEM for the Xperia ....
I'll be getting the Xperia instead of this unit .... similar specs but Xperia has a better keyboard.
The Tilt/Kaiser 'film' keyboard is an abomination ....
my .02 cents

How on god's green earth can a phone which is cosmetically near-identical to the Touch Diamond, and descended from long line of HTC Tytn-like keyboard devices, possibly be termed "a rip off of the SE Xperia"?
Particularly when this phone is almost certain to be out before the Xperia?
hi guys,
i have the kaiser, the raphael looks cool but IMHO it doesn't worth the switch,
- the display size is the same but with double resolution
- it seems that HTC have developed only some API to make manila run smooth, in that case the 2D will suck like in the kaiser
I will wait .... I was a Kaiser early adopter ... HTC will not fool me again .....
bye bye
That definitely is not going to replace my tytn II
i would buy one to replace my Tilt if the screen were a bit bigger. VGA is great, but at 2.8 it really won't matter. (for me anyway)
not impressed with no tilt action will not be getting this

and don't forget the FM radio with RDS!! (that could be nice with TMC )
No GSM 850mzh again?!
Damn it, is HTC really don't care the market in NA?
from the official specs:
102 mm (L) X 51 mm (W) X 11.35 mm (T)
which seems impossible.
only 10 cm high, 5 cm,s wide?
could someone confirm this? it would help in finding carkit holders and cases
It's like holding a Blackberry Pearl

Yes, these are the real dimensions
Why does this seem "impossible"?
When I got my Diamond yesterday, I was impressed how small this unit is, especially copared to my big fat Hermes. I really like those slim dimensions of my new gadget
i would guess from the pictures that it would be a lot bigger.
i have the qtek 8300 (tornado) which is
Lengte : 107,5 mm
Breedte : 46,2 mm
Diepte : 17,5 mm
so the diamond is not only about the same size it is also a lot thinner.
It really is as small as they say. Smaller than an iPhone. MUCH Smaller. I LOVE IT!!
Yep, the size is one of the big attractors imho - it's smaller than 90% of the phones out there.. nokia/lg/sony ericsson, etc included - and yet it has so much functionality!
another unbeatable feature
i have a friendly argument with an iphone lover. he asked me what the diamond can do that the iphone (with 3G and gps) can't do. i said to him: this! and let my diamond slip in my t-shirt pocket....he got the message.
shortly, we have the first pda that fits in our breast pocket. same thing like the first motorola V3.......
You also could have tapped on the touchscreen with a fingernail (if you happen to have long fingernails), or opened any one of hundreds of applications available for WM devices NOT available on iPhones...
Dont know if you guys seen/heard of this device as yet, but here are some specs.
My friend jus bought the Omnia and he's tryin to convince me to get one too. While im tryin to prove to him that he made a wrong choice.
Omnia Specs;
56.9x112x12.5mm, 122g, Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional , 32bit Marvell PXA320, 128MiB RAM, 16000MiB ROM, 3.2" 400x240 color transflective TFT display, video out, Proprietary audio jack, GSM850/GSM900/GSM1800/GSM1900/UMTS2100, CSD, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, microSD/microSDHC/TransFlash/SDIO, Proprietary port, Bluetooth, WLAN, GPS, A-GPS, Geotagging, FM radio, accelerometer, 4.9MP camera, AF, flash, secondary camera, 1440mAh removable battery
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1328
It depends on your requirements. Omnia and X1 play in different device classes because the X1 has a slide out keyboard and the Omnia don't. Normally a slide out keyboard has some disadvantages when it comes to device size and weight so people who buy a device with a slide out keyboard usually really want and need it.
Because of this I think these devices do not really match for competition.
Compare the Omnia with the Touch Diamond or the brand new Touch HD.
Compare the X1 with the Touch Pro. (I'd choose the X1 )
Why do you think that your mate made the wrong choice?
P.S.: I've never heard "St Kitts and Nevis" before so I looked it up. This might be one of the smallest countries I've ever seen.
hmm i think you should open this thread again once Touch HD hits the market in the next 2 month
The Omnia is an awesome device, best in the market (today as the X1 hasn't reached UK retail yet). But it does have one (and only 1) Killer Problem.
Wifi
It's wifi performance is terrable and thats why mine is going back.

If Keyboard is optional then compare
If display is critical.

yep. really.
1280 x 800? Is it running XP? lol
Specs for this monster are mouth-watering, and I do question it's usability as a normal phone due to size.
But what a portable multimedia powerhouse! If it's true, of course...
On the other hand, will we need to sell one kidney and a spleen for it?
specs are excellent.....but bigger the screen gets , bigger the chances of it getting damaged...
Too bad WIndows Phone 7 Series doesn't support 1280 x 800 pixels. In the beginning only 800 x 480 and later 480 x 320.
It's just a dream.....

I saw the pic with the caption dont remember exactly but "what a wp7 hd3 might look like" in any case someones version of what they would design the hd3 to look like and with out any connection to htc in addition even the pictures of the diamond 3 (htc obsesion) rumored to be wp7 and coming in the fall is probably incorrect as it is shown as having 5 buttons and not 3.
In the meantime I think HTC is sticking to wm6.5 and this is because they have invested to much in there own apps for wm6.5 phones sense2.5 and all the htc programs that come with it, as well as 3 new 6.5 phones are coming in the next month or so. Bottom line there is no HD3 in the mean time.
This looks like somebodies active imagination IMHO so I'm going to close thread. If someone has actual proof they can PM me and I'll re-open thread
