Yeah after reading the review on it and noticing that it does not have gps or wifi I think i'll stick with my kaiser. Also it is unfortunate that the diamond wont support at&t 3g. I was considering one of those.
So people besides the shift is there a htc phone on the market that beats the kaiser?

The american version of the diamond will support 3G in America...should be out by July/Aug time this yr.
Is it going to be branded, or just sold unlocked like the Touch Dual?
Official released is touch dual. It's an ok phone/pda. The unofficial release is the touch diamond. It'll be officially released after Aug. 15th.

Differences O2 Diamond Pro vs. HTC Touch Pro

Hi,
is there any hardware difference between O2 "soon to be released" Diamond Pro and the original HTC Touch Pro? Because the O2-Phone is going to be 100€ cheaper here, I would wait until September, if there are no differences...
Does anybody know something about this?
Bye
Hi can you post a link pls
Should be the same hardware, but it may have a different back (Diamond and Victor are the same device, but different back plate).
I suspect the price difference is because of contract subsidising.
Back is plain and keys are blue instead of green

I mean cheaper without contract/subsity. Don't know, why they are cheaper. Looking at handit.de, also o2's Diamond is ~80€ cheaper then the HTC device. Again, without subisty!

Possibly because the device is locked to O2s network?

If you are not in a rush of getting a new phone, why not to wait a few months to HTC present the new 09 models!
I´m sure there will be better models than Touch Pro

That´s a good question
On my opinion is not the "official" succesor but it´s the closer we can have till now on the new devices
Of course that fantastic swivel to move from micro lap top to PDA will hardly repeated again...
Me as Universal user as my main phone/PDA I think it´s a not replacement but it´s something to consider as has nice screen and nice keyboard
I don´t think HTC will launch another device more similar at least in 2 years (Hope I´m wrong)
Just my opinion
I might be wrong but I don’t think HTC made enough money with Universal. Furthermore a Building Successor for Universal would be much more expensive than current existing devices.
With the current economy situation I don’t think HTC will risk putting a device on to market which will or cannot amortise the R&D cost.
I believe TP2 is good/best choice for replacing Universal.

Not sure if they did not make $, remember Universal was launched on 2005 and on that time not any device on earth was so complete and powerfull (Even to this date still compete with new models in some specs!)
Refer to the voting here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446362
But agree, TP2 is the onlt decent replacement I can see in the future
I read from Brighthand, ASUS is going to produce a similar model. We need to wait for more specs to come out though. Hopefully it will have a faster processor.

I´ll wait for ASUS model that cktlcmd commented
But also have TP2 as an option
Just want to have all possibilities before I renew my device
Well IMHO is strange about upcoming Asus clamshell device.. They have already one model M930 and they have screw up big time in sales numbers with that device.
Anyhow is nice to have choices

I'ved looked for a mention of the Asus, but don't find anything.
But do you think the Asus will be as customisable as the HTC phones?

Yes, ASUS, don't have it on their site. If WM is it's OS, I don't see why not.
The WM phones Toshiba released can be customized. What will make ASUS phones different?

For me it's different. If I can stay away from HTC, I will. Until they stop using Qualcomm as their processors specially those 624MHz and below.

Can't we then petition HTC to change/upgrade their processors?
Does anybody know if they read these threads?
Shall we send them a petition?

If you think you can make a difference, go ahead...POWER to you my friend. But in all honesty, I don't think they will listen. I remember there was a petition here regarding those missing drivers sometime ago...what happened? NOTHING. HTC have a good working relationship with Qualcomm. It is not purely Qualcomm's fault, HTC has a bigger role played, I am dismayed at Qualcomm for letting HTC degrade their processors.
Well currently I am struggling again with making my decision.
Currently the Touch HD in Hong Kong cost ca. USD 650-700. 3months later when Touch pro2 will come out the price will be further down to I guess 500-600USD. But in other side the Pro2 sure will cost ca. 800-950USD in the beginning.
Looking to the Technical Spec on those 2 devices it comes down really to the keyboard. Now the question: is it worth TO PAY 300-400$ more for having device that has a keyboard.. What you guys think???

Personally I find myself using the hardware keyboard of my Fuze less and less and the on-screen full keyboard less and less. From what I've seen of the HD I could easily see myself ditching the hardware keyboard all togetter

Its a matter of lifestyle. When I used the Pocket PC I thought I would never need a physical keyboard. But since using the Universal, I wonder how I will do without one! It speeds things up considerablly especially when traveling. I would approach the subject differently - read the reviews and take note of the shortcomings of the HD as a phone. The features of the TP2 outway the cost factor - and you have a keyboard when required. TP2 seems to be more business orientated.

Well, the amount of $ is a lot!, but as a happy Universal user and having tested a lot of "non physical keyboard" devices, I can say that it will never be compared!
Physical keyboard and specially Uni one is the fastest way to type.
It will depend on the use of the device, if only for watching videos and music then kb is not important, but if you use it for typing mesaages, e-mail and surfing (Like I do) then kb is VERY important...
So if we don´t rush to buy devices as soon as they are launched (Wich compnies want us to do) then we wait a few months and a new one appear and that is the perfect time to buy!
COnsumism will never stop, but we inteligent consumers have to think when is the best time to buy.

[Q]HTC Titan not available in South Africa: how to get one

Hi Any ideas how I can my hands on a HTC Titan or Tiatn II in South Africa? HTC apparently won't launch until Apollo is available. I can get the Nokia Lumia 800 now which is great, but I need a larger screen.
Thanks Calli
Interested too
Hi calli
If and when you find out anything about the availability and pricing of the HTC Titan 2 in South Africa, I would be very keen to know. Seems that Leaf have absolutely zero going on at their website, and I don't know who else would be the agents.
Have you thought about the Lumia 900?

Yes definetley , but unfortunately there is no definitive date when and if the Lumia 900 will be launched in South Africa either. At least Nokia supports Windows Phone 7.5 fully, unlike HTC whose primary focus is Android. Leaf claim they are waiting for Apollo before they launch the Titan. Question is how well will they support WP 7.5?
