Was planning on getting a O2 Xda ignito or HTC Diamond as I believe they are also known as but today came across the O2 Xda Serra on the O2 web site, which looks the same but just has the qwerty pull out keyboard.
Is the keyboard the only difference or are there other not so obvious differences?
Will the same software/apps etc work on either phone too?
Thanks for any info
Phones are near identical except for the keyboard, the improved battery life (battery is fatter, as phone is fatter because of keyboard) the diamond has a fixed 4GB of storage where as the TP takes micro SD, I have 8GB in mine but there are some with 16GB, Rumour has it that the CPU in the Touch Pro (Serra) is a bit quicker than the diamond.
The O2 web site is misrepresenting the thickness of the TP compared to the diamond, the diamond is 11mm the TP is around 17, TBH if you are happy without a keyboard, I would recommend the Touch HD over the diamond all day long but I don't think O2 are carrying it yet.
CPU is the same. With the TP you get the keyboard, more ram (288 vs 192) flash for the camera and no 4GB internal storage but an expansion slot instead. The storage memory of the TP is also larger. Around 360MB whilst the Diamond's is below 200, so you can install more applications on the device

p3600 = Tytn without keyboard, I was very disappointed that p3600 (HTC trnity) launched without GPS function!
why p3600 used mini sd card, why don't they keep using same size card. I really like the size of p3600. now make me confuse, TyTn or P3600
Is the P3600 ( AKA: new Prophet ) thinner than the old?
It`s specked at 108 x 58 x 18.5mm (HxWxD).
I don`t have my (Qtek S200) on hand to measure.
I really wish it is thinner...otherwise I see no reason to change phones.
No 3G on my area (yet). A faster processor? not my priority. A better camera? Now that`s something to write home about...lets face it: the old Prophet's camera wasn't really a camera...it was just a round hole on the back of the device that produced blotches of psychadelic colors on the screen.
Give me an S200 clone, 2 or 3 mm thinner, a few grams lighter, and a REAL 2MP cam and I buy one the day it ships.

which is the best of both ?
The Tytn II is a much improved device over the original Tytn.
Just a highlight of some of the newer features;
- Slimmer, slicker hardware device
- Integrated GPS
- Integrated 3mp camera
- Double the internal memory 256mb ROM, 128mb RAM
- Support for HSUPA Protocol
- Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR
- Touchscreen which is better optimised for using HTC TouchFlo applications.
if you want to take a deeper look into it yourself check out these sites;

Hope that helps

I can't belive that this has even shown up. The Tytn II is the newest version which should obviously be better. Its GPS actually has an antenna attached and all points stated above.
However, the TyTN has flash... the TyTN II, no. The TyTN has a vanity mirror. No for the TyTN II. TyTN has one more button than the TyTN II. Finally, TyTN II has no infrared. But I still love my TyTN II!!
The II weighs more as well. Personally waiting for their next line to consider upgrade (would like larger screen as well as smaller form factor).

And its thickness is 2mm more, compared to the Tytn.
I'll consider a device with a sliding full keyboard when it will be as thin as keyboard-less devices...
Hi people,
It's getting to be that time again, and I'm trying to decide whether or not to spend the extra cash for the Touch HD instead of a Touch Diamond...
Reasons to go for it:
-3.8" @ 800x480 baby!
-More RAM + ROM
-Did I mention the huge screen?
Reasons not to:
-The price difference is HUGE at o2 Germany - 99 for the Diamond vs. 300+ for the HD...
-Same processor, same tech, etc.
So here's the big question - does the extra RAM on the HD actually make much of a difference in terms of speed? Or will I be noticing that mainly when I'm running a bunch of applications at once?
The Touch HD seems to be comparable to the Touch Pro in terms of specs. I tried a Diamond before I got my Pro, and there was definitely a speed difference. I imagine the same will be true of the HD compared to the Diamond. However, the Diamond was certainly usable, so it depends on your priorities.
Hmmm, good to know. Didn't think the Touch Pro would be faster than the Diamond, which was why I didn't even consider going with that - but that being the case, the Pro is looking pretty good because of the keyboard...
Are there any big differences between Diamond, Diamond Pro and HD in terms of the TF3D interface?
Hi there every one, curently i own a xda orbit (Artemis) with Babbelut ROM WM6.5-28005 v0.3 NLD/WWE and this rom has defenatly given life to my device thanks to babbelut ofcourse, so my main question is if i was between these 3 devices wich are Xda_Orbit, Xda-Orbit 2 and HTC Touch Diamond
wich one would you choose to keep for your self and why..!!
Your answers are valuable to me as i will have to choose one of the 3 preaty soon..
thank you.
Xda_Orbit
Xda-Orbit 2
HTC Touch Diamond
The Xda_Orbit has a CPU that's just too slow
The Xda-Orbit 2 faster but not great spec
HTC Touch Diamond good spec but for the little extra money you could get a Touch Pro that's better spec regards RAM\ROM and has a keyboard
So far from a quick spec check on all 3 i find the orbit2 more secure selection as the fact that it has sd micro slot wich is a plus on space for storage than the diamond wich has a 4gb storage pre instaled on the device and lacks the micro sd slot wich i am tending to use it since i already have a 16gb on my curent phone the xda orbit.
Yeah that's another reason to get a Touch Pro storage card
If they all fall in the same kinda price bracket then the extra little layout would be worth it
Hey all at the moment im using an Amsam M810 it was my 1st PPC but now i want to upgrade i cant decide whether to get a
dell axim X51v or else some type of a HTC.
THe dell seems to be the better option as i dont want to spend more than €150($204)
Id like peoples opinion on which i should get,Thank You in advance
I'd get an HTC diamond or touch pro, around here the pro is 175Eur second hand, the diamond a bit less. The diamond is a bit more sluggish (less ram), and the pro is thicker. It's 7mm thicker, which doesn't sound like a big consern, but it feels bulkier and it's heavier ( has more ram,camera flash and keyboard). You could also save some money and get a Touch HD, which would seem to be the best choise of the three. I have a touch pro and I'm happy with it.
Get the x51v. If you're into gaming or watching videos, the x51v is your best bet, and you even have the option for CF and SD card slots. For that price, HTC doesn't have anything that can compete. I had one a while back, and loved it, but left it in the airport, so I replaced it with an ipaq 210 (mistake)
Axim doesnt have phone support, your phone seems to have phone on it. So don't get the Axim.
Get a HTC Diamond or Touch Pro and you will be ready to go...
Be aware that the screens on the Diamond or Touch Pro are TINY! An X1 or Diamond 2 shouldn't be that much more expensive, and you'll get a bigger screen.
Thanks everyone for the input,At the moment it looks like the Diamond 2 or Touch HD
Although after watching this video i think i will save and get the diamond 2
