I have a diamond but my job got me a diamond pro, how come there isnt almost nothing here on xda for the pro but its full of stuff for diamond?
I think because the diamond has been on for quite some time and the pro only came out a little while ago. I think (hope) it is pretty much the same as the TYTN so you could prob find stuff on the hermes section

Hello, I'm due an upgrade on Orange very soon, and I'm basically going to go either for a TytnII or a Touch Diamond, but I'm wondering which one is for me.
I've been browsing the Diamond forums a lot recently, and following Tytns progress, and working in a phone shop I've been lucky enough to play with both, albeit briefly.
For me, I'm going to be using data a lot, probably going to want to use Messenger etc.
Whats the QVGA vs VGA argument like? Because I've noticed the Diamonds screen real estate is pretty poor, compared to the Diamond.
I have no reason to use TouchFlo because I'd much rather use SPB Mobile Shell
Whats the cooked ROM situation for Diamond? Mature I am guessing? Processing power vs. Diamond?
I'm just looking for a well thought through comparison, really
Thanks in advance
not even in the same class .... does the tittan have a tv out port??? diamond has one.... so what do u think ... like i said $>not even in the same class<$
what about tytn 3 vs diamond???
Hi guys,
what do people think between the hermes or the diamond?
any major differences in terms of capabilities?
i know the hermes has flash, expandable memory, keyboard which diamond doesnt. ofcourse diamond looks better hmm......
touch pro isnt out on contract for ages and im due and upgrade next week when the diamond will be out with orange or i could switch to vodafone and get the hermes hmm........
Ah, get the Diamond, you'll be fine. Remember that our Hermes are two generations behind the Diamond. Diamond is thinner, sleeker and has the VGA screen with accelerated graphics. Very nice.
Myself, I'm waiting for the X1. Just my preference.
Sorry to waist a post but man I haven't been this impressed with a device since I got my iPAQ hx4700 a few years ago. I gave up VGA to go to a good phone device (TyTN) and then I ugraded to the TyTN II to get built-in GPS last year. This phone is rediculous!!! I finally have it all!!!

This is how i felt when i got my phone! Only difference is i've never been this impressed with a phone and i've had the wizard, tytn, tytn II, motorola mpx 200, motorola mpx220, htc vox, and the qtek 8310(which had an excellent screen). The touch pro is fast, pretty, and finger friendly. I LOVE IT
*MAD*
How dare you doing this to me.... ????
Now I really get impatient on getting my hands on a Touch Pro... still waiting for the localized device here in Germany to be released....
You are soooooooooooooooooo mean... I hate you!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
...just cannot wait any longer ...

Hey Jorlin,
same with me: I am still waiting for tghis device to come to Germany with a German OS and hardware keyboard ... O2 said it would last until 2nd week of September (!) and the news about the unbranded HTC device aren't that much better ... Hope the Xperia won't drop in between, or else I might get confused again wether to go for HTC or to SE ... Anyway, lucky you, that have the Touch Pro yet!!!

I felt the same. I 've never been this much impressed with a WM device before. And I was never a fan of keyboard, up until I got Touch Pro. I had iPAQ 3850, HP2700, Trinity, TyTn II, Touch Cruise and even Diamond (which will be up for sale shortly). I liked the diamond's size, but couldn't live with short battery life, poor signal reception and to some extent lack of microSD. Therefore, bough HTC Touch PRO and even though it is heavier and thicker than diamond, it beats diamond hands down on every aspect, except size ofcouse. Keyboard is a pleasure to use and brilliant. I will not have a device again without keyboard again .....

Glad to hear that selling my Tytn II for a T PRO was a smart choice. I had a IPAQ 6955 (slowest PDA phone ever), Eten X500+ (was alright but no keyboard), and a Tytn II. I couldn't even use the IPAQ for phone calls cause the device took so long to wake up when a call was coming through.
According to FedEX, I should have my T PRO before 12 PM tomorrow!
Mine has just arrived in the post . Been playing with it a little. Had a problem with the screen protector, got the sticky side dirty . Almost impossible to clean.
Other than that though... WOW. I love this thing. No tweaks or anything, and so far very responsive and so many things to do with it (im new to WM ).
10/10 so far. I hope its stays a 10/10 with long term use

Yeah... let us know how it turns out. From my experience you will learn to live very well will shortcomings since often you will realize that the sum of advantages still outruns other devices... I hope it is that way with the PRO
Well I have extensive experience with WM and you are starting out with a great device. You will never appreciate what some of us went though wihtout a "touch friendly" environment. LOL, enjoy my friend

Mallman is speaking the truth!!!!!! WM has never been touch friendly at all and now i never even need the stylus and i have chubby fingers.
I currently have a TyTN (Hermes 200) and am thinking about upgrading.
Maybe something used.
My biggest indecision is that I don't know if the next phone should have a slide out keyboard, or not. (Slide-out keyboard is nice, but makes for a thicker device)
I don't do heavy emailing or heavy texting... just the occasional ones.
Any thoughts/advice on which way to go? Maybe recommend a device?
P.S. I don't want an iPhone... I think i'd prefer to tick with an HTC device (WM or even Android)
here's a Touch HD & QWERTY thread discussion...maybe some info there:

Try and check out the ASUS P565. It is not an HTC phone, but something to consider since a brand new unit is about 500 something dollars. Here is a thread discussion with links: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446317
The upcoming Touch Pro2 and Touch Diamond2 look really nice. The former is more like the TyTN, and the latter is more like the TyTN without a keyboard. They're both pretty much the same, except the Diamond2 has a better camera and no keyboard. They will both ship with 6.1, but will be upgradable to WM6.5.

I will definitely replace my Hermes with the touch pro 2, at least if my battery survives that long.
One more for touch pro 2!!
Neither the Pro 2 or Diamond 2 can replace the Hermes adequately, since they don't have a scroll wheel and D-pad.
So other then the Touch Pro2, there are no other suggestions?
What are the thoughts on the Touch Pro? how is it compared to the tytn? Much faster?
yes, the touch pro (and se xperia X1, almost the same hardware, different looks) are a *LOT* faster then the TyTN, their 2 years newer, so that's expected offc
The major diff is the amount of memory, the tytn always rns of of memory at about any task. Other then that, the cpu on the tp is a lot fatser, it has a bigger VGA screen, ans a lot of nice stuff that you could or couldn't care about (tv-out, g-sensor etc.).
If you want a replacement for the tytn *now* get a touch pro or an X1 (personal choice), but if you can wait another 3-4 months (in europe at least) then the touch pro 2 would seem to be the best choice.
which better HTC Touch Pro or HTC Touch Diamond2 ?
now i have HTC Touch Pro, can buy HTC Touch Diamond2, which better
and why?
If you already have the touch pro, the only upside to having the diamond is the screen and camera, and I would say wait until the next round of devices. But if you are deciding wether to get a touch pro or a diamond 2, id say go with a diamond 2, or touch pro 2.
I think he ment touch pro2 and touch diamond 2?!? maybe? Well if so then i would go for the pro 2 i have the diamond2 and that is nice but at some points a real tastature (hardware one) would really do good ... and I am not sure if I am right but I think the pro2 has also a few more things to offer ... don t know exsactly what though
Hi,
I went thru this not too long ago. The Pro2 is little more bulky than the TD2. I wanted a phone, more so than a handheld computer. I went with the TD2 and love it!!! It looks cool too... Its not another Iphone look-a-like.
Before buying I was worried about the soft keyboard (I previously had a Treo), but a friend had a Diamond and the keyboard was fine. That said, all the reviews consider the Pro2 has the best keyboard of any phone out there.
It comes down to what you want from the phone.
