Hi guys, recently my elf internal screen cracked, i am wondering whether should i get a diamond or a jade? any comments guys? Thank You
Jade is faster (TouchFlo 2D is faster than Touchflo 3D). But the Diamond has more sex appeal.
depends. I have the Raphael. I chose it over the diamond because of the qwerty keyboard and also because AT&T did some cool stuff w/ the keyboard arrangement and also the PTT button that I remapped into a camera button.
If you do like the qwerty-less phone, the diamond is pretty nice.
or wait a few months and the HTC 09 stuff will arrive!! and great devices are comming!
However i thought diamond has 3D capability whereas jade does not have? Based on performance, lets not talk about touchflo 3D or 2D, which device wins? ?Haha, i cannot wait to get a new HTC device, cannot wait anymore. LOL.
Anyone? lol, which one? XD
I don't know which Diamond you have available, but I can say that I personally chose the Storm over the Diamond, when I was exchanging my Omnia. My first battle was between the Diamond and the Omnia, and I of course chose the Omnia. The Diamond was bulky, and had tons of bad reviews about poor performance. Maybe you can test drive them both.

Got a quick question. I've been looking around for a new pda. I currently own a Trinity and am wondering if the Polaris is equivalent to a Trinity II? Similar to how there is a TyTN and now there is a TyTN II, except with the name change.
I know the Polaris has streamed from the Artemis i.e. P3300, but specs seems like it can possibly be a the new Trinity? Or is HTC going to release a Trinity II later this year or in the near future?
I'd like some helpful input if possible. Thanks a lot.
The Polaris is an Artemis, Touch Dual hybrid, it's nowhere near the Trinity.
The only thing that connects the two is the Qualcomm GPS chip.
The design is from the Artemis, the screen and chipset is from the Touch Dual (or the Kaiser if you prefer, but both use the same chipsets).
Ture, but if you are a user looking at features and form it is basically an improved Trinity. Nicely improved
that and the fact that the alternative name for the Touch Cruise is the P3650.....!
But just look at the thing, it's a touch/p3300 love child all the way!!

Thanks a lot for your input. I guess my end question is because the end user features of the touch cruise is very similar to the trinity, upgraded, does anyone think that the trinity model be phased out? As HTC seems to be quite a smart company, releasing a "Trinity II" would possibly be doubling up and competing with it's own Touch Cruise. Thanks.
I've owned multiple devices (including two Trinity's) as most that post here have. I can't believe the number of devices that are available from the same manufacturers now that sizes are reaching the limits of what is comfotable for users. Given the 2.8" screen standard, there is no reason for anything much smaller than the Touch. A couple mm's shaved here and there maybe.
Maybe with technology HTC will eventualy get to two basic PDA phones - one with keyboard and a slimmer one without. Both will be loaded with the same features as technology improves. LG is packing more features in a smaller phone than the Touch.
Some how I'm not convinced that, the Trinity has anything to do whith the Polaris. Yeah I know, the number... Trinity being P3600 and Polaris being P3650, but I ask what features and design elements make the Polaris Trinity II.
As far as I can see there's no Jogwheel, no Infraport, the design elements are from the Artemis and the Touch, and the chipset is from the Kaiser... so?
Between the the Hermes and the Kaiser are common elements, in design, and in features also. And HTC introduced the Kaiser as TyTN II. But I ask again, whithout the numbers, what makes the Polaris the Trinity II?
i think what he's fishing for is if since hermes and kaiser kinda look alike and aramis and polaris kinda look alike if
there will be a trinityLooking device later
or if that market segment is where polaris is
suppose he pref the look of trinity and will wait if a device comes out which look more like that

Thanks a lot for your input. Thanks for telling me that there is no infraport. I don't use it, but it's good to know before I make a purchase. I'm not trying to argue that the Touch Cruise = Trinity II. I'm just looking for a new pda phone that is as close to the Trinity P3600 as possible, except better I'm sick of my Trinity. It seems to me that the closest there is in the market is the Touch Cruise. I know the Trinity and the Touch Cruise are entirely different phones. Another Question. Is the Qualcomm 400Mhz processor on the Touch Cruise faster than the Samsung 400Mhz processor? The Samsung processor has it's own problems. Any significant problems with the Qualcomm processor that I should be aware?
Thanks again for your help.
Qualcomm got an issue with the htc driver not using the ati onchip video stuff so the cpu dont do multimedia as fart as it could same thing with kaiser there are alot of thread about it
how big a problem it is i guess depend on if one play video clips in higher res's then the screen and display to avoid the bother of transforming them to 320_240 first
I don't think anyone is suggesting that the Polaris is actually related to the Trinity - as pointed out, it's predecessor is the Artemis.
Check this out if you are looking for a comparison.

im sorry .. but
wtf who cares about it? - call it the trinity II if your happy then lol.
go to the shop and say: i own a touch cruise's / orbit's predeccessor, the trinity. he dont cares how you call it, you put the finger on the product and he will tell you the price ^^
Polaris is indeed Trinity, but not Trinity II, it's Trinity 0.5! Don't buy it yet. I have both phones. I was sick of my Trinity like you and wanted something new and bought Polaris. Yes it looks "sexier" but it made me realize how great my Trinity is! Now I'm back to Trinity and the Polaris is back in its box until HTC releases patches that make this phone better than Trinity.
Jeez, I tried to play a tinny little 320 x 240 video and it couldn't handle it!
I have a Trinity running the latest "Fixin it over" ROM which is working great. Also have a Polaris on order from Mobileplanet. I starting to wonder if the Polaris is a bit over rated in comparison. Anyone else have both with an opinion?
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.
I've had my Tilt for about 6 months now and I've finally got it the way I like it with all the software and stuff (thanks xda!), but now I have the opportunity to swap it for an HTC diamond. Should I do it? I don't know much about the Diamond and really dont have the time right now to look it up so I'm leaving it up to you guys. Btw incase it might help I use my phone for mostly 1) phone calls, 2) Wifi on my University campus , 3) Texting. Thanks for your help.
Unless it was an HTC Touch Diamond Pro then I wouldn't recommend it. Sure the Diamond has slightly better specs, but it lacks the nice tilting keyboard, but then again you can always do with the on-screen keyboard instead. Hers my take on it; I wouldn't buy a new HTC Touch Diamond to replace my HTC Tilt, but if I had the opportunity to swap it for free then I would go for it. Anyways hers a specification comparison between the two:

speaking of it, does any one of you know if theresa plugin of some sort to make the Dxian X999+'s accelerometer work as the g sensor????
PS. this probably isn't the best place to post this but i need help
Thanks
for hat you your phone for they both work. only thing is your going to miss your keyboard. if you want both devices put in one try the htc raphael. has vga display and a keyboard. you loose features but gain some newer technology 3d drivers (but as you know kaiser is close to realeasing m3d ) I beleive the raphael has g sensors and it is has a vga display.
the whole point is he can SWAP for a diamond, he doesn't want to be told to spend $800 on a Touch Pro, as I'm sure he knows that it's essentially a combintion of them.
I would say keep the Tilt, youve got it perfect, I'm sure it runs fast enough for you, and the Diamond doesn't really have better specs at all (fake amount fo RAM)

Go For HTC Touch Diamond..!
Hi Mighty,
Hey buddy.Don't hesitate.Go for the HTC. I also bought my HTC Touch Diamond from Press Digital in the last week.So far i'm very impress with it.I'm sure you also can feel the fun.Go for it..!
Brad..!
All i gota say is, Dont do it lol
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437646&highlight=qwerty
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.
Dave
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.
