Yeah after reading the review on it and noticing that it does not have gps or wifi I think i'll stick with my kaiser. Also it is unfortunate that the diamond wont support at&t 3g. I was considering one of those.
So people besides the shift is there a htc phone on the market that beats the kaiser?

The american version of the diamond will support 3G in America...should be out by July/Aug time this yr.
Is it going to be branded, or just sold unlocked like the Touch Dual?
Official released is touch dual. It's an ok phone/pda. The unofficial release is the touch diamond. It'll be officially released after Aug. 15th.

Hi,
is there any hardware difference between O2 "soon to be released" Diamond Pro and the original HTC Touch Pro? Because the O2-Phone is going to be 100€ cheaper here, I would wait until September, if there are no differences...
Does anybody know something about this?
Bye
Hi can you post a link pls
Should be the same hardware, but it may have a different back (Diamond and Victor are the same device, but different back plate).
I suspect the price difference is because of contract subsidising.
Back is plain and keys are blue instead of green

I mean cheaper without contract/subsity. Don't know, why they are cheaper. Looking at handit.de, also o2's Diamond is ~80€ cheaper then the HTC device. Again, without subisty!

Possibly because the device is locked to O2s network?
NO! --> NOT LOCKED!!

im sorry if this is answered or if this is a stupid, silly question, but im about to hit checkout on a purchase on a htc touch pro. Before doing so i was wondering if there was anyway to get US 3G working on this phone? By means of a flash rom or anything? Thanks in advance and once again sorry!
NOOOO! There isn't a way of getting US 3G to work on the phone! Just wait for AT&T to release it and buy it retail! Trust me! It'll be better and cheaper!

thanks for quicky reply. I have been monitoring fuze thread, and the consensus seems to be nov 4th. If i can get it tuesday from ATT fine, but im tired of waiting, and my e71 is getting boring. Any word on US 3G unlocked touch pro? Would prefer that over branded model due to exclusivity reasons.
The US 3G touch pro will release after the fuze does. AT&T has first dibs on releasing a GSM version of the touch pro. Sprint had dibs on releasing it first in the USA. I would really suggest you wait. I mean on black friday, last year it was 50% off /w new contract or renewal. That is kick ass. $150 for the fuze on black friday. I would definately wait for that.

waiting 22 days to save 150 is kind of worth it, but not really. Especially when your like me and must have your new toy as soon as its available.
And FWIW, negrielectronics, which is known to be a reliable site for unlocked phones, has the fuze listed for pre-release on 11/3/2008. But who knows, maybe they are going by the same info as we are? heres to hoping for the best.

I'm like that too, but personally. Since I can upgrade on Nov 16. I can wait. I mean the $150 I save, I can spend on a case, cradle, speakers, etc.

Price change? Ugh. That'd be a lot of work if they don't agree. But then again, I could always return it and buy it on Black Friday lol.

Fuze = Raphael

If you are not in a rush of getting a new phone, why not to wait a few months to HTC present the new 09 models!
I´m sure there will be better models than Touch Pro

omg lol iforgot about this post hopefully somebody knows xD i checked and its july but its not confirm..
As far as the CDMA Sprint Diamond is concerned, I have read that the EOL (end of life) date that Sprint has given the Diamond is July 2009, and that Sprint usually rolls out the new version of a specific model 2 months prior to the EOL of the older version.
I also read that once Best Buy sells out of the original Diamonds that they are not getting any new stock.
I have the Sprint Diamond now and would get the Diamond 2 but the size may determine if I purchase it.
The Diamond is very compact but the Diamond 2 is going to be longer. Even though it is only a few mm longer, I would have to see it in person to see if it makes a difference in real life.
I would also wait a month or so after release to see if there are any major issues with the Diamond 2 .
Hi, looking to get a PDA after not having one for 2-3 years. I used to have a polaris and before that a wizard so I want to know which to consider to get now.
I would ideally like one with slide qwerty, but not particularly bothered.
I have trawled the net but all too confusing , so many out there now.lol.
I would spend up to £180 second hand. I know they all have their niggles , so what is a good all rounder that can be customised with roms and the like?
I used to flash and flash my old one's with allsorts of roms. Been to iphone and got bored of that so I am off back to the old trusty PDA.
What would you guys recommend??????
Cheers all!!

Hi, I need one with GPS built in ideally. I know the kaiser has it built in does the touch pro 2?
Which one has better customability? As in custom roms etc......
Was touching on kaiser myself but was thinking maybe a bit slow now, which would be the same allrounder with gps and rom cooking?
Thanks.

Hi, bought HTC tytn II brand new for £100. I think this is a good deal, u think??
I will play on this for a bit then upgrade when I get back into the swing of things.
Thanks for your suggestions guys.
P.s just one thing , the phone is locked to vodafone, I presume it is quite easy to unlock?
(It used to be!!)
Thanks.

good luck with your new toy.
Hi, Ahh, bit of a development, I got the Kaiser , then I got what I thought was the deal I could not refuse.
I got a brand new HTC touch 2 pro for £230, so now I have 2 PDA's when I only wanted one.....arrrggghhh.
I presume this is a good deal and worth keeping over the Kaiser?
What would you guys do?
The Kaiser is for sale if wanted by anyone. (If pro 2 any good)
P.s Why is the kaiser sim unlock free, but htc touch pro 2 isn't????????
thanks.
Stu.
I'd keep both the TP2 is a far superior device than Kaiser but keep the Kaiser as back up, b.t.w the price you got TP2 for is awesome
If you want to compare the specs Device Database @ top of forum will show you how much better TP2 is
