today i had a friends diamond for the first time,and i was impressed,it sure is the best looking phone ever (except the back maybe), it is fast,the vga display is great,so precise,the dimensions of the device are perfect...i was shocked and i'd suggest the diamond
i own himalaya,magician,atom
and i had tytn,artemis,orbit,pharos,cruise,iphone,n95,loads of other nokias,samsungs,sony ericssons,siemenses in my hands
and diamond is the best,the coolest,the fastest,and the most interesting so far
only problem is that in first 15 mins of use touchFlo3D crashed...partially(the bottom bar dissapeared),but that's nothing too bad...you can always disable it

If you had a TyTN maybe the touch Pro (Raphael) could be better for you, also see the samsung Omnia, Toshiba Protegé 910, could be good options.
If you do a search there is a thread (dont remember where) where they analize the best options
Hope this helps

nah...raphael is as thick as tytn...and thats too much,i don't like slideout devices and wouldn't recommend them to anyone because they are too think,heavy andmost of all have very vulnerable flat cables
and ssj5trunks wanted something compact...and diamond has pretty good dimensions
(compact+not too small)/2 =well balanced and that is what diamond is

Hi,
I'm currently using the O2 Orbit (original) phone, and have really enjoyed my time with it. HOwever, I am now due an upgrade
I am debating between the Stellar and the Orbit 2. I don't miss the keyboard on the Orbit (had the Mini IIs prior, which had keyboard of course), but I wouldn't be too depressed to have one. As far as I can see, there's not much to seperate the two phones, but from user experience, which one would you buy, and why?
(or can someone think of any other alternatives?)
A.
Hi,
I found the Kaiser (o2 Stellar) very bulky, that's why I changed. Also fm radio on orbit II, better touch flo experience. Check out the new ppc's from the Barcelona WMC2008. maybe u ll find something worth waiting for. but in any case, i don't think they will be in stock with any operator soon enough for ur upgrade. i d go for the orbit II.

I'm slightly worried about the Polairs' video driver issue... or is this not so much of a problem?
kaiser and polaris suffer from the same driver thing
people report that htc have bulged and will pay qualcom for the driver
they so far been too cheap to pay for
otherwise another possiblity could be other devices comming out using the same chip
like toshiba
Definitely go fot the Polaris, man! I'm tellin' ya
It's slimmer, more solid, and pretty And if you don't miss the keyboard of the Mini S (heh, I also had one, then changed it for a Neo (Prophet) and didn't miss the keyboard ), the Polaris is maybe the best PPC out there.
My opinion - BioTouch is much better than an old touch screen combined with a hw keyboard. And with the number of the input apps out there, it's the ultimate choice.
Tried Opera 9.5 yesterday - amazing. This browser makes your PPC the ultimate mobile internet device and combined with the BioTouch it simply rocks!
This website says HTC Touch Diamond will be the best phone of 2008: http://www.mytouch-diamond-phone.com
Anyone feel the same way? I know the new iPhone has 3G but the Diamond also touts 3G speed...
The iPhone is not a WinMo phone.
Why even bring it up if you're asking what the best WinMo phone is?
My candidates for the best WinMo phone of 2008 are:
Super number 1.- Htc Advantage x7510!!
1.- Touch Pro Raphael
2.- Samsung Omnia
3.- Toshiba protegé g910
4.- Diamond
Iphone is not WinMo and can not compare with any of the ones above
Iphone sucks in several aspects.... so let´s not talk about it!
Cheers
thanx for spamming us with your site.

Yeah, all 5 of his posts are basically cut-and-paste.
Currently I would say the HTC Touch Diamond.
Either the HTC Touch Pro or the SE Expreria might surpass it when they become available.

Hahaha you're joking, right? I presume yo;ve never actually used any of the above, especially the G910...
My vote would be the i780, possibly followed by the i900 if you don't want a keyboard (too early for real user reviews yet). Forget the eye-candy and go for something that works better than any other PPC out there - at a bargain price. Not just my opinion:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411053
hello from italy
i had samsung 780,and now i have diamond and omnia, i beleve omnia is the best or will be the best, it have a good battery, superb cam, big display (alas with bad resolution), good touchscreen, write on it is easy without stylus, problem with navigators, tomtom7 needs of gps gate, garmin is free (why always this problem?), the fix is good,
some little problem with installations of some programs and games, with diamond no problems, for me however omnia is the best for NOW
What would all our Learned friends Menneisyys, Bulldog, Mr Zach, Kramerica2 et al buy or upgrade to.
After using the original Pocket PC and the the Universal I'm at loss of what to get.
Functional like the Universl with the business functionality and keyboard and the decent sized screen All the latest offerings are aimed at a totally different market. What about a HTC P6500?
TV out would also be useful.
Your advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It´s hard for Uni users to decide what´s next....
I don´t think any model can called a Uni succesor by now, seems like HTC and others forgot about this model.
Yes you can have touch pro with a keyboard and nice but the screen size is terrible! on other side you have the G1 with a promisor OS but very limitated by now; also the HD that I think it´s the best candidate for renew with a very nice screen and quiality and speed, design. Only bad point no keyboard...
Good luck

Yep you are right. Maybe we will have to resort to the HD with a foldaway keyboard. Pity it does not have TV out for Powerpoint presentations! No one seems certain on memory 256 or 1 GIG?
Thanks calli
Hi Guys, currently using Artemis the now and due to upgrade with O2 next week. Really like the TouchPro, looks cool and want the slide out QWERTY keyboard this time ( only thing i miss on artemis ) Anyway, does it perform well and have good battery life AND one final question, is it better than the xperia because O2 say i can have that instead of Serra(TouchPro).
Thanks guys for any help you can give me.
Cheers,D.

I have not had the pleasure of playing with a Xperia but I love my Fuze (Touch Pro). I went from an 8525 ot a Tilt and now a Fuze and I absolutely love it! It has so much storage memory that I no longer have to install my programs on my storage card.
I have two friends that went for the Xperia. Both never had a WM before.
They like it.
I have TP, I've played quite some time with their Xperias... I am keeping my TP.
Thanks guys, sticking to the TouchPro i think, The xperia has a mixed variety of reviews.
Cheers, D
Depend on which provider you are going for, I have the Sprint varient and I love it much more over my old Titan. But since you are taking about the Xperia X1, I would think you want GSM. The Fuze shouldn't be that bad, but make sure IF you decide to go with the X1, go for the US varient from Sony if you reside in the US, I have head about a lot of compatibility issues with the X1. The Fuze on the other hand is not widescreen, but still quite beautiful in its own glossy way and is cheaper. The Sony ericsson too is sexy in a distinct way. It'll all up to personal preference, whether you want a full 5 row qwerty keyboard, or a wide screen with brushed metal as the extra perk when you get the phone. Either way it is a good choice, and there are tons of people on this site who can help you with both phones.
Read some reviews, and youtube videos, or check them out in person. The only one who knows what phone you want is you... Good luck!
Many thanks u8myfoood, Network will be O2 as i reside in Scotland in the UK, had a look at the 2 of them and the TouchPro(Serra) is winning hands down at the moment, was just wondering if it was fast and stable as they make out ??
Cheers, D
Well ther might be different views that you'll see people has about both phone, but just to say, touch pro has g-sensor which x1 don't have. well i have touch pro as you might have seen on my signature and avatar well im very sattisfied.. all is working really great and smooth..the touch pro have 3d accelerator (do x1 has that?).. well i'm a gamer too and touch pro is perfect for that, (i play cod2 without any problems hehe and tony hawk pro skater 2 ) well another thing is that touch pro has a 5 row qwert keyboard which x1 doesn't have.. you have to use the function key on x1 to get to the numbers.. well x1 has larger screen i guess..
Many thanks you guys, this is certainly made my mind up, New TouchPro for me is on its way. Just out of curiosity, when using the artemis with manilla 2D i can change themes etc using M2DC, is it the same or do i need software for TouchPro 3D ???
Cheers, D
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070 Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3 rulez
edit: I'm wrong TF3D Config
search the forum for Diamond TF3d Config and you'll be able to change themes using that..
Cheers Guys, very helpful indeed. You'll all probably hear from me when i receive it just to keep me right on things, been used to my artemis for so long now so i guess it's a bit antiquated.
Many Thanks, D
Ok just had the chance to play around with a Xperia X1. I am really disappointed in Sony. This device looked very promising but to me was not acceptable. The Sony was very unresponsive and sloooow. Even with a cooked ROM and tweaked out it was very unimpressive. My Fuze absolutely screams with [WWE]RRE HTC Fuze ROM Ver 4.4.5 Special Edition on it. My buddy who bought the X1 is not a happy camper. I told him to go for the Fuze.
droy68, I hope you like your Pro when it arrives : )
A week ago my friend gave me his Artemis to upgrade the ROM to one with Manila 2D. I was amazed how quickly the interface worked. It's actually a bit more responsive than TouchFlo 3D is on my Pro's standard ROM.
Also, I loved the the scroll wheel, it's brilliant! As you may miss this, it may be worth pointing out that you can enable the touch scroll on the Pro to be active in more programs than it is by default. You need to add entries for each application in the registry under HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartTouch... See this thread for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406206. Alternatively, I think both Diamond Tweak and Schap's advanced config 3.3 can do it for you. I prefer to add things manaully so I can see what's going on : )
Finallly, if you miss the finger friendly contact page of Touch Flo 2D. You can always install a VGA version of Manila 2D instead of using TouchFlo 3D. I haven't tried this myself yet....
Hello all hope u are fine
I'm looking forward to buy a new Pocket PC phone,and my choice is between TOUCH PRO 2 and TOUCH DIAMOND 2,so i have some questions.
1_How is the build quality of this phones?
2_How is audio quality of this phones(in both loudspeaker and headset)? how do they compare to Nokia N95 8GB(My current phone)?
3_In the benchmarks i saw,it seems TD2 is a little faster than TP2,is that right ?
4_How is the screen sensitivity of these phones?
5_Overall which one do u choose between them?
thanks
I would recommend to enter to D2 and TP2 section and read user comments.
Personally I prefer TP2 because it´s hardware keyboard wich is a must for me
Good luck,
Well i first wanted to ask in TP2 and TD2 section but it would be a double post thats why i asked here
It really depends on what you prefer.
Like orb3000 mentioned the TP2 has a keyboard. For many thats the core factor in deciding between the two phones.
The TP2 has a bigger screen, longer battery life, g-sensor and straightalk which provides better audio. The downside against diamond 2 is it only has 3.2 megapixel camera but i'm sure the others mentioned above surely compensate for that.
If you use the search button or google you will be able to find some info
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-503730.html
This pdf offers a very good comparison of info
http://www.mobilitydigest.com/applications/Comparison.pdf
I personally would get and also recommend getting TP2
but hey its all up to your personal preference and budget
