My touch pro is looking a bit old hat now...
Really?? But if you didn't need a keyboard why didn't you get the diamond (then you could be upset )
I still love the keyboard on my TP
But if they make a 1700mhz flavor for Tmo US 3G, I'll be all over that in an instant.
nah...rafael owners will cry when the HD pro comes out...but this one has no keyboard...so it's not really comparable
I on the other hand....am still waiting for the Touch Pro to be available here in the philippines...and then the HD comes out...sheesh.
No keyboard. No go.

Well they keyboard is a very nice iece of kit (and it's why I got the tP over the diamond, that and the SAR rating) but a bigger, higher resolution screen, 5mp camera and an updated TFlo 3D does look mighty fine...
And only a 1350mAH battery - pretty small given the screen size.....
The thing is, the way the keyboard is programmed - takes away a lot of the advantage (for me) to having a hardware keyboard. All of the keys register the same in outside programs. So the keyboard is currently useless for emulation and games.
Does anyone know if the Touch HD has TV Out like the Raphael? That could be another important distinction.
Looks like the sites down
But im in the same pickle...
HD or TP Big screen or keyboard.

Nothing on that link. I have heard about the HD and would love to come back to Winmo from iPhone but I need 3G or HSPA on ATT. Will probably go with the Touch Pro until the HD comes available on ATT (if ever)
Very happy with my TP with the hardware, size and keyboard, unless they come up with another ground breaking innovation
I don't see why the HD is "over" Pro in some way (except the screen res. which I am not sure it is good or bad and the camera resolution which I don't really care too much).
no TV out?
Spec seems pretty light at the moment - I suspect more detail will be added in the comming days, weeks...... We may see some other "items" added to the list? Theres a basic review here too: http://www.trustedreviews.com/mobile-devices/news/2008/09/11/HTC-Touch-HD--The-True-iPhone-Rival-/p1 Looks pretty cool but it depends on what you beed?
I personally am fortunate to have both the Diamond and Pro - I added the pro to my collection after finding that it was a little extra memory and the MicroSD card slot that I missed - not the keyboard at all - I do love the Pro though and the "gadgets too" - the TV cable is great - I travel a lot with work and now use the Pro to watch movies on the Hotel room TV - thats pretty cool - and last week I gave a Power point presentation using the Pro on a standard projector - very cool indeed.....
So - I'll probably get a HD when they come along and we'll see which one I stick with - at the moment - the Pro's my main man....!
.
13mm bigger
I see there 2 other models as well.
Still happy with the Pro great Business Tool which is more important to me.
The HD has this iphone feel about?
Will the Diamond/Touch Pros will get the Touchflo 3D enchancements from the Touch HD and Touch 3Gs/Viva?
There is a stocks tab in the HD and all the new Touchs have the 4 day weather right on the screen.

I second that! No tv out?
They would better go off by some hardware video decoder not only with bigger screen resolution. Hi-res devices really need such to fully enjoy movies on them.

luckly it doesnt come with keyboard, otherwise, yes i'd cry loud!

It's just some scripts and png files as part of Manila. They're already being dissected over on the Diamond forum (there's a custom Calendar and Calc tab), so no doubt once the HD version comes out it will be ported to Diamond/Pro. Of course the HD benefits from the WVGA to fit more info on screen.
Of course, HTC might release ROM updates that include the new interface as well.
I Would like buy the new PocketPC But I need help for decide what the best pocket
- Omnia i900 or
- Touch HD
Thx
EMERSON VIER
depends on what you want from a device
Also if you are expecting to have the great support form this site you should choose HD, as this site is HTC only devices.
Good luck,
I'm sorry, but i can't see where the omnia is better than the Touch HD. maybe someone can enlighten me?
HD is better. But...
I actually use both Omnia and HD at the moment and I have to say both of them are very good.
The Omnia has a lot of nice custom applications, good performance and a cool optical D-Pad.
The HD had an AMAZING screen and a perfect design, but it lacks a D-Pad which is annoying.
In general there are some differences, but bottom line is that the HD is probably better.
I actually wrote a nice comparison between the HD and the Omnia. You are invited to take a look:
http://mobilespoon.blogspot.com/2009/05/samsung-omnia-vs-htc-touch-hd.html
Go with the Touch HD.. the battery life is longer (im sick of hearing about all omnia battery life issues.. get over it! >_<) and the screen resolution (WVGA) makes things look simply amazing.
hey guys, i'm having a Touch Pro right now, but, i'm considering about trading it for a Touch Pro 2, i don't know i should do that or not, i think the Touch Pro is pretty good for me, but Touch Pro 2 has a lot of upgrades from HTC, but is it worth taking a shot for or not ??!?
P/S: sorry guys for my bad English, i'm working on it
Read Rhodium ROOM for info then you think that I have an HD and BIG screen makes difference
With TP probabily you could have little device but I'll buy TP2: bigger screen, higher res, new CPU, QWERTY with good keys and official WM6.5 Upgrade (but cooked ROMs are better )
D'rath
thanks for advice, but big screen with me is not a big deal at all, you know, i have small finger so big screen is kind of hard for me to use with only one hand, but maybe in some cases big screen can be good (like when watching movie or video,v..v) the only thing i like in the Touch Pro is the high res, wonderful keyboard and awesome titling...i wish Touch Pro has it, that would be so cool...
Go for TP2!!
thanks man, maybe a touch pro 2 will be mine
Really liking the design thus far. The back looks rubberized, has better speakers, and on top of that, it looks like that there is some derivative of a xenon flash? I like how the name is put on the back too. Plus, 1 ghz is what's attracting me here.
From everything that I've read, it is either going to be 5 or 8 MP camera. I'll be happy with either so long as HTC makes the camera of good quality, not the crap we've seen on the diamonds.
Will definitely invest the ~$500-$600 for this phone, but chances are this may run up to $1,000
It looks fantastic, though in Australia it probably will cost $1k+ ;{
How does the Snapdragon measure up to Tegra?

Some discordance seems to be around---
As the line EDITED Pro product line is with hardware keyboard, like Rapahel aka touch pro and rhodium aka touch pro 2
So the EDITED pro 3 should have a keyboard
Anyone have this more clear?
what is shure is that leo is not the EDITED pro 3

Im actually glad this doesn't have a physical keyboard. with a 4.3" capacitative touch screen and 1ghz, this on screen keyboard should be even better. Plus, less bulk
Agree mate, I don't use the keyboard and I want a light weight HTC ppc, big screen & Powerful cpu! So this will be my next device

The Leo is actually HD2 instead of Touch Pro 3. I am very sure that a version with the slide out keyboard will follow very soon aka TP3 with the exact same spec as HD2.
For me, I will get the HD2 for the uprated hardware and capacitive touch screen and then change to TP3 when it launches in the near future (I hope).

How long after the Touch HD launched did the Touch Pro 2 come out?
I think HTC is operating on a roughly annual cycle. The Touch HD2 is due out roughly a year after the original Touch HD. I wouldn't expect to see the successor to the TP2 and TD2 until May 2010.

It's not a Xenon flash, it's simply dual-LED. And the camera is 5MP, not 8. I wouldn't hold your breath for an HTC phone with a good camera.

It's good to have a phone maker focus on making great phones rather than making 12MP camera *cough*Samsung*cough* with the same crappy CMOS sensor as a $25 webcam.
I'm actually glad that HTC doesnt bother themselves with 1080p video and TV-out functions and actually focus on what's important -- improving the user experience WITHIN the phone.

The problem there is that you are completely inventing the word "Touch". It does not appear at all on the device! This is "Pro.Three" not "Touch Pro 3". Quite different.
Of course, it may not appear anywhere under the Pro.Three branding, and this may have even just been a prototype naming not for public release, and it will be HD2 everywhere.
Stop inventing the word "Touch"! Why are so many people doing this? I may as wonder why they are calling it the "Super Gopher Molester Pro 3" when it doesn't molest gophers! That's because "Supoer Gopher Molester" isn't in the name!

I'd quite like to see a phone with HDMI output so you can use it as a pocketsized media PC. Actually a phone with a built-in high-definition projector would be quite neat too. (They do make projector phones, but not in HD as far as I know).

I'd buy that. Bill Murray should have had one, that gopher wouldn't have caused him so much trouble.

Nothing against you, you're just the first one at hand to rant at!
It's just annoying the number of people that can't read a few simple words in front of their own eyes. Fair enough on a forum, but when you have supposed "news sites" that allegedly specialse in phone info reporting the release of the "Touch Pro 3", it's pretty darn annoying.
for example : http://www.fonearena.com/blog/2009/09/28/htc-leo-touch-pro-3-pics.html
Idiots! This crud is to quality reporting what herpes is to world peace.
Shame your way of thinking is so radical...
I wouldn´t call anyone an idiot
Respect is 1st, then our opinions come...
Leo doesn't cover my list of requirements . I need a 4 inch resistive screen, 1 ghz cpu, slide-out keyboard, quality speakers, WinMo and a d-pad.
Leo will be HD 2, but Leo with a keyboard might get to be TOUCH Pro 3. Anyway, TOUCH Pro 3 will have similar specs, judging by the current HTC policy. I am looking forward to hearing about the TOUCH Pro 3 and replacing my X1 with it. The X2 sucks, TP2 sucks and any device without a keyboard is pathetic as far as I'm concerned. TOUCH Pro 3 might be the one.
P.S. TOUCH, TOUCH, TOUCH, TOUCH, TOUCH, TOUCH...

In my country, the TP2 came out about 2 - 3 months after the HD.
I would like to think that May 2010 seems to be realistic for TP3... 4.3 inch capacitive, 1ghz snapdragon with slide out keyboard!
Right now I am just waiting to ditch my HERO for the HD2 the moment it comes out
