Anyone knows about HTC Diamond ?

http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/-Diamond-CDMA-phone-p_2847.html
will it be a solution to all problems with Cruise-Polaris
Andorid will be the answer once it comes out... but I don't belive HTC will ever come out whith the drivers... or say "Yes! We've [email protected] up, so buy our next 1000$ device"

A rather premature statement, me thinks...
The Diamond and Raphael both look really nice... a good breakdown of the specs here:
http://www.modaco.com/content/pocke...eal-htc-touch-pro-htc-touch-dual-pro-details/
although, I'm sure we'll get confirmation of the specs after the announcement next Tuesday.
I'm loving the prospect of VGA, although the 900mAh battery worries me slightly. Having gone from a Hermes to a Polaris, I really enjoy the lightness of the Polaris and don't miss the keyboard (too much) so I think I'd be getting the Diamond over the Raphael. Looking at the sizeasy pic the Diamond is tiny!

Yeah, possibly, but the pre-rendered quake was smoother on the the demo device (runs on MSM 7200) in the BBC interview than on anything else we've encountered sofar... Also Google isn't that cheap when it comes to customer satisfaction (unlike HTC)...

Google has nothing to do with it and Google couldnt care less; HTC builds the device and is responsible for the implementation of the OS on the hardware they use. They can **** up as much as they did now. The difference is only where the OS code comes from: MSFT or Google respectively.
If HTC fails, Google wont care, theres so many manufacturers going with Android (initially at least) so if one of them ****s up, theres a thousand others to chose from.
Similarily spoken: is there any news around that MSFT cares much about HTCs epic fail with their recent devices?

Accordin to the link I found earlier, 99x51x10.7/17mm for Diamond/Raphael. I'm shocked at how small they (admittedly allegedly) are...

What they're going to give us one free !!!
Yes, the drivers are needed but they don't make or break the phone. I sell almost every phone and cannot stay on one for more then 2 weeks (either would you if you paid cost) but I am very happy with the Touch Cruise and plan on keeping this phone as my main device.
I personally don't care about the HTC Diamond. Personally, I think VGA screens on around a 3" screen. I had a VGA screen on my E10 X800 and I honestly it did nothing for me.
Please check

It says Diamond will be launched on 6th of May in UK.

Has anyone on this forum got or seen anything about this Hiphone.
It's suppost to be the closest clone of an iphone yet and was wondering of you xda-devs have came across one in the flesh so to speak.....
http://www.live25.co.uk/content/say-hello-hiphone
Thanks
EWW thats ugly i dont liek it
Coders and developers needed!
NOW!For all you Hiphone Iclone users there is hope come visit and support us at http://hiphonepro.freeforums.org and spread the word so we can get the developers to listen.
This thing has so much potential!
I wonder if the developers here might help us find out the mysterys of this phone and crack it open for development the phone is excelent but the firmware is limited and undeveloped it has alot of potential to surpass the iphone with just about anything the developer wants to add
Hahaha this thing looks so stupid
It looks as if someone build a foamphone like those foamfingers people use in stadiums and what not.
Don't get it, I am sure it has lead in it.

The Americans have a big thing about lead used in products at the moment, im talking about trace amounts of lead that don't mean anything but they have blown it all out of proportion, so for example my nokia 6300 has a chromed 4 way navigation button, in the manual it says dont put it next to your skin for prolonged periods due to lead content.
it is basically scaremongering to get the US public to stop buying products imported from china
I know I was being facetious.
I am sure all phones have lead, especially on the boards and chips inside, it was a joke.

I may come across that way.
Although I have spent the majority of my life in the states, I have spent a significant amount of time in the UK.
I lived in Southampton for a job until I was made redundant the moved back and still travel there now on business.

I live in China and this kind of Chinglish is everywhere, I love it. There is a second-hand market near my apartment with a huge sign reading "Chicken-hawk Fun Market" with a picture of an old man holding a teenage boy's hand....it's almost like they do it on purpose

Why would someone do anything with this phone, don't promote it, there's about as much potential in this phone as the one pictured above.
can some make this ridiculous SW (misspellings and all) for our devices, pleeaaaaase.
[sarcasm]i would love show-off this mockware to all the of those who aren't as rich as me.[/sarcasm]
eight people actually bought it? I guess that means we have eight CONFIRMED idiots on this planet.
wonder how many unconfirmed
i suspect it's mind boggling
LOL. I saw this on giz. I was ROFL'ing for like 5 minutes. And did you guys read about the dude who "accidentally" bought it? LOL
NO... We have more than 8 idiots. You have to include ALL THE APPLE STAFF who approved it in the first place. They probably only took it off when the 8 idiots complained and demanded their refund for the $1000 they spent.
This definitively looks like nice piece of software. I hope someone can develop such a useful and good looking application for our Windows Mobile devices. Otherwise, i might seriously reconsider buying an iPhone.
P.S.:
Congrats to developer of this original app. Nice way of earning few thousands $$ for few seconds of work. Way to go, good thinking!
And all this just proves that iPhone is just a toy for really rich people and true high-tech work of art only for idiots.
"I am rich" for Windows Mobile
Thanks to Julien we, WM users, finally have the chance to try this great app.
It looks like it's still in development. It's not fullscreen yet, but it's still free, so if you want to try this fine piece of software, now's the time.
Download here
YYYYYYEEEEESSSSSS! I just saw it here:
DL'd it and immediately ported it to my "iPhone"

i am, though, disappointed that the 'deserv' was spelled "correctly." argh, oh well. it's well worth the $2,000.00 i donated for this little gem.
Well, I guess it is still in development so it has some minor issues. I'm sure that fullscreen and misspelling will be added as soon as possible. But this is promising start and we will soon be as sophisticated as iPhone users. I also think that many iPhone users will migrate to WM devices since this app is no longer available in Apple's App Store, so we can expect at least few tousands new xda users in next few days.

I think the number of confirmed idiots on the planet is more like the total number of people who bought an iPhone.

hey ppl i'm selling my Hd-2 and getting a offer for a iphone 3gs 16gig
what do you think shoudl i do? which device is better? suggest friends

Not really a impartial forum to be asking which is better.
Really depends on what you need an prefer. I know a lot of people with iPhones that love them. To me it just and iPod with a terrible phone and a ridiculous level of control by Apple.
Neither go to the dark side for a positive change and get an Android device

if you plan to go for the iPhone platform, wait for the 4G model. Not that the 3G S would be crap - the 4G will still be much better.

After they're convinced everybody bought and paid for the Ip4G, then they'll bust out the Ip5, probably next summer, then everyone will have to shell out another $650 or more to be "in".
And yea, it just has new innovative never before implemented external antenna (and sue other phone manufacturers that produced phones in the past with an external antenna for patent infringement), maybe a better camera and a few "never before seen, new and innovative" apps that will only run on the 5. Ill bet on it.
I think were due for a Ipad-s right before the holidays.

Don't get me wrong, I like apple. I even have an iPod touch (Jailbroken though ). But apple really messed up with the iPhone 4. You would have though that they had tested it so much that they would have found the design flaw. But I do respect them for giving out banners, but come on apple. Saying that your problem is in many other phones is uncool.

Pretty run of the mill inside, but that's one hell of a chassis. what i'm amazed by is that toughbooks and toughbook slates have always been these horrifically huge things, but this actually has a decent thickness (hello toshiba thrive), isn't fugly, and manages to keep a 10 hour battery!
anyone here considering dropping $1300 on one? anyone?

You can run over a Toughbook with a Hummer or something like that and it will still work. If the Touchpad is anything like that, I can definately see the Touchpad selling well to those super paranoid types. I wouldn't drop $1300 for one, but I guess it is cool that Panasonic is making tablets.
Touchpad was 99$ /troll
However, it looks nice, but what about screen? Is it tough enough?
how is the user interface? never seen panasonic come out this technical

I am assuming they are using gorilla glass for the screen. Panasonic really needs to reveal the specs on this thing (besides the usual stuff obviously).

This.
Not for your everyday user. This would be invaluable in some business applications as well. Many restraunts have tabs implemented with their ordering systems, this would offer much more reliability. I've seen city employees with iPads mapping the sewer systems etc. Pretty exciting product for me
