Hi guys,
I am new to this forum.. I would appreciate your input...I have a question regarding these HTC PDA's
HTC Touch Diamond
HTC Touch Pro
HTC Touch HD
Which one is the best out of these in all standards... I have read about some problems with Diamond and Pro. but I would like you hear your opinions as I am going to place an order this week for one of these.
cheers
Touch Pro has the advantage of a keyboard, Touch HD has the advantage in everything else. That makes it easy enough.
welcome to the forum....I like the Touch HD. U can find more compare info on it here:

Completly agree mate
If HD makes a model with sliding super slim keyboard!! then could be the expected succesor of Uni.
I´ll go for the HD!
HTC Touch Pro HD
I am seriously thinking of replacing my long-in-the-tooth Tilt with the HTC Touch HD, but I love the slide out keyboard. Any chance that HTC will be bringing out a HTC Touch Pro HD in the next 6-8 months?
I wouldn't hold my breath for a HD with a keyboard as it defeats the object of having a large screen so you can get a usable size soft keyboard. Plus we know what it's been developed to compete with so anything that would make it bigger, heavier than the direct competition, like a slide out keyboard isn't going to happen IMHO.
As for the original question...
Pro and HD have expandable memory via MicroSD card were Diamond has fixed 4GB.
HD is the only one with a standard 3.5mm audio jack... for the others you need to buy an adapter.
HD is more or less an iPhone clone in terms of physical size so if you like that form factor its the one to go for. (my ideal would be the Diamond which is very slim)
Specification wise the Pro and HD are very similar but I guess that because the delayed release the HD will get an updated version of the TouchFlo system to make use of the big fancy screen.
hope it helps you make an informed decision
Ditto if the HD had a keyboard it would be HUUUUGE. Like having a universal TV remote in your pocket at all times.
not being released in the US
touch pro is best
touch hd:
1-no keyboard
2-no d pad
3-no camera flash
4-no camera buttom
5-big size
6-smaller life time battery ...assuming that compared with pro same 1350 battery but hd bigger screen
7-no tv output
I like the look of the HD but agree with the posts here a keyboard would make it awesome.
i also believe that the HD is the best of those three - alas, i love qwerty keyboards and since i couldn't decide between the HD and the Diamond PRO 0 and since i didn't want to choose between a slider keyboard and an awesome screen, i chose the xperia and would heartly recommend doing the same thing; it's a great device and you definitely won't regret buying it (especially that it runs the HD touchflo3d just fine!)
I Would like buy the new PocketPC But I need help for decide what the best pocket
- Omnia i900 or
- Touch HD
Thx

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.
"it has full flash" THen, i want. - htc hero
link: http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/HTC-Hero-phone-p_3813.html
I have an touch pro, and DO NOT WANT TO BUY ANOTHER Cellphone!
The main processor is just as good (maybe the same) as all those new cellphones... 528 blablabl 258 blablabla...
well, the question is: Will it be possible? do anyone knows if is just that simple? copy files, and paste, and smile? Its the same brand, but another O.S... well, maybe? (operational system)
what people here would say about that?
Hows going the fusion between HTC touch pro and android?
the hardware specs look really like the touch pro and touch diamond. maybe they can pull this so we can get proper android on our touch pro. and hopefully keep dual boot.
don't think you want it on your raphael before there comes a vga version
otherwise it would not be that big on your screen
½ size pretty much
screensize might not be the best. android is already ported atleast visually to the touch pro. maybe this will help with the drivers. then the next step can be porting over that interface if you want it. lately htcs replacement interfaces have been quite nice. tf3d was quite good actually. itll be interesting to see what they do to android.
I believe the Hero is going to have a capacitive touchscreen. That may present a problem for our Touch Pro with the resistive touchscreen...
>_< i know that. the resistive touch screen and graphics, and the capacitive navipad isnt a problem in the current android port for raphael, its the rest of the hardware.
Just don't count on it. All the Android porting for the Diamond and Touch Pro and older devices has been REALLY slow. Buy an Android phone if you want Android.
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?
See this active thread for the latest info on a very cool htc ppc:

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
